With the release of the new AJAX user interface into testing on the Fastmail beta server, we decided that it might be interesting to talk about the technology that has gone into making the new interface work. This post is the first of a series of technical posts we plan to do over the next few months, documenting some of the interesting work and technologies we've used to power the new interface. Regular users can skip these posts, but we hope technical users find them interesting.
We're starting the series by looking at how we push instant notifications of new email from the server to the web application running in your browser. The communication mechanism we are using is the native eventsource/server-sent events object. Our reasons for choosing this were threefold:
We're using native eventsource support in Opera 11+, Chrome 6+, Safari 5+ and Firefox 6+. For older Firefox versions, the native object is simulated using an XmlHttpRequest object; Firefox allows you to read data as it is streaming. Internet Explorer unfortunately doesn't, and whilst there are ways of doing push using script tags in a continually loading iframe, they felt hacky and less robust, so we just went with a long polling solution there for now. It uses the same code as the older-Firefox eventsource simulation object, the only difference is that the server has to close the connection after each event is pused; the client then reestablishes a new connection immediately. The effect is the same, it's just a little less efficient.
Once you have an eventsource object, be it native or simulated, using it for push notifications in the browser is easy; just point it at the right URL, then wait for events to be fired on the object as data is pushed. In the case of mail, we just send a 'something has changed' notification. Whenever a new notification arrives, we invalidate the cache and refresh the currently displayed view, fetching the new email.
On the server side, the event push implementation had a few requirements and a few quirks to work with our existing infrastructure.
Because eventsource connections are long lived, we need to use a system that can scale to a potentially very large number of simultaneous open connections. We already use nginx on our front end servers for http, imap and pop proxying. nginx uses a small process pool with a non-blocking event model and epoll on Linux, so it can scale to a very large number of simultaneous connections. We regularly see over 30,000 simultaneous http, imap and pop connections to a frontend machine (mostly SSL connections), with less than 1/10th of total CPU being used.
However, with a large number of client connections to nginx, we'd still have to proxy them to some backend process that could handle the large number of simultaneous connections. Fortunately, there is an alternative event based approach.
After a little bit of searching, we found a third party push stream module for nginx that was nearly compatible with the W3C eventsource specification. We contacted the author, and thankfully he was willing to make the changes required to make it fully compatible with the eventsource spec and incorporate those changes back into the master version. Thanks Wandenberg Peixoto!
Rather than proxying a connection, the module accepts a connection, holds it open, and connects it to an internal subscriber "channel". You can then use POST requests to the matching publisher URL channel to send messages to the subscriber, and the messages will be sent to the client over the open connection.
This means you don't have to hold lots of internal network proxy connections open and deal with that scaling, instead you just have to send POST requests to nginx when an "event" occurs. This is done via a backend process that listens for events from cyrus (our IMAP server), such as when new emails are delivered to a mailbox, and (longer term) when any change is made to a mailbox.
Two other small issues also need to be dealt with. First is that only logged in users should be able to connect to an eventsource channel, and second is that we have two separate frontend servers and clients connect randomly to one of the other because each hostname resolves to two IP addresses, so the backend needs to send POST requests to the correct frontend nginx server the user is connected to.
We do the first by accepting the client connection, proxying to a backend mod_perl server which does the standard session and cookie authentication, and then use nginx's internal X-Accel-Redirect mechanism to do an internal redirect that hooks the connection to the correct subscriber channel. For the second, we add a "X-Frontend" header to each proxied request, so that the mod_perl backend knows which server the client is connected to.
The stripped down version of the nginx configuration looks like this:
# clients connect to this URL to receive events
location ^~ /events/ {
# proxy to backend, it'll do authentication and X-Accel-Redirect
# to /sub/ if user is authenticated, or return error otherwise
proxy_set_header X-Frontend frontend1;
proxy_pass http://backend/events/;
location ^~ /subchannel/ {
push_stream_eventsource_support on;
push_stream_content_type "text/event-stream; charset=utf-8";
# location we POST to from backend to push events to subscribers
location ^~ /pubchannel/ {
# prevent anybody but us from publishing
allow 10.0.0.0/8;
deny all;
Putting the whole process together, the steps are as follows:
In the future, we will be pushing events when any mailbox changes are made, not just a new email delivery (e.g. change made in an IMAP client, a mobile client, or another web login session). We don't currently do this because we need to filter out notifications due to actions made by the same client; since it already knows about these, invalidating the cached would be very inefficient.
In general this all works as expected in all supported browsers and is really very easy to use. We have however come across a few issues to do with re-establishing lost connections. For example, when the computer goes to sleep then wakes up, the connection will have probably been lost. Opera has a bug in that it doesn't realise this and keeps showing that the connection is OPEN (in readyState 1).
We've also found a potential related issue with the spec itself: "Any other HTTP response code not listed here, and any network error that prevents the HTTP connection from being established in the first place (e.g. DNS errors), must cause the user agent to fail the connection". This means that if you lose internet connection (for example pass through a tunnel on the train), the eventsource will try to reconnect, find there's no network and fail permanently. It will not make any further attempts to connect to the server once a network connection is found again. This same problem can cause a race condition when waking a computer from sleep as it often takes a few seconds to re-establish the internet connection. If the browser tries to re-establish the eventsource connection before the network is up, it will therefore permanently fail.
This spec problem can be worked around by observing the error event. If the readyState property is now CLOSED (in readyState 2), we set a 30 second timeout. When this fires, we create a new eventsource object to replace the old one (you can't reuse them) which will then try connecting again; essentially this is manually recreating the reconnect behaviour.
The Opera bug in not detecting it's lost a connection after waking from sleep can be fixed by detecting when the computer has been asleep and manually re-establishing the connection, even if it's apparently open. To do this, we set a timeout for say 60s, then when it fires we compare the timestamp with when the timeout was set. If the difference is greater than (say) 65s, it's probable the computer has been asleep (thus delaying the timeout's firing), and so we again create a new eventsource object to replace the old one.
Lastly, it was reasonably straight forward to implement a fully compatible eventsource implementation in Firefox using just a normal XmlHttpRequest object, thereby making this feature work in FF3.5+ (we haven't tested further back, but it may work in earlier versions too). The only difference is that the browser can't release from memory any of the data received over the eventsource connection until the connection is closed (and they could be really long lived), as you can always access it all through the XHR responseText property. However, we don't actually know if the other browsers actually make this optimisation with their native eventsource implementations, and given the data pushed through the eventsource connection is normally quite small, this certainly isn't an issue in practice.
This means we support Opera/Firefox/Chrome/Safari with the same server implementation. To add Internet Explorer to the mix we use a long polling approach. To make the server support long polling all we do is make IE set a header on an XmlHttpRequest connection (we use X-Long-Poll: Yes), and if the server sees that header it closes the connection after every event is pushed; other than that it's exactly the same. This also means IE can share FF's eventsource emulation class with minimal changes.
The instant notification of new emails is one of core features of the new interface that allows the blurring of boundaries between traditional email clients and webmail clients. Making this feature work, and work in a way that we knew was scalable going forward was an important requirement for the new interface. We've achieved this with a straight forward client solution, and in a way that elegantly integrates with our existing backend infrastructure.

Before I discovered the beauty blender I was applying my foundation and concealer with brushes or my hands. By doing this my foundation looked blotchy or cakey and made me break out really bad. At first I thought it was my foundation so I tried out almost every single one at Sephora until I realized that there was no way they all made me look worse. An employee at Sephora recommended I try out the beauty blender and once I did I fell in love! It changed my entire foundation application completely. My skin cleared up since I clean the beauty blender after every use, my foundation looked amazing and had an airbrush finish that seemed like I wasn't wearing make up but I looked healthy and had good skin! This product really changed the game for me!
5Ever since I read an article in a fashion magazine many years ago, which said that you should apply foundation with your fingers for the most natural look, that's what I've been doing. When I received this duo in my monthly Birchbox this month, I was THIS close to just passing the product on to a friend. After a few days of seeing it sitting atop my bathroom counter, though, I decided, what the heck? I'm paying for this subscription, I might as well try the products. So I gave this little egg-shaped sponge a try, and lo and behold -- this thing is amazing. Make-up application has never been easier or more fool-proof. I now use it to apply my Supergoop CC cream every morning, and I am in love with the results. And, by the way, that magazine article was wrong... This sponge give me much more natural looking results than using my fingers ever did!
And as a germ-a-phobe who is very weary of sponges and their millions of germ-holding pores, having the handy soap to clean it with each day give me GREAT comfort...
i was skeptical at first with the beauty blender, i heard many beauty gurus talking about it, but i couldn't justify spending twenty dollars on a sponge. i tried the real techniques sponge and that converted me to using a sponge for my foundation routine. after using that sponge it made me want to try the beauty blender. this makeup sponge it life changing, i love it so much and i don't know how i applied foundation before using it!

The PAF Base Korangi Creek is a Pakistani Air Force base located in Korangi, Karachi. The PAF Base Korangi Creek is a State-of-the-art facility involved in the development of the Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for the Pakistan Defence Forces.
Royal Air Force[edit]
The facility was established by the Royal Air Force in 1923. Located in a beach area of Karachi, the primary role of the facility was to provide the embarkation and disembarkation facilities to the RAF and other British personnel arriving by civil or military amphibious aircraft, and also to handle receipts and dispatch of cargo on these aircraft.
In 1942, the RAF leased an area of 1,007 acres (4.08 km2) from the Government of Sindh and the station premises were then properly secured with a perimeter fence. Korangi Creek also served as a logistic base for the aircraft repair depot at Drigh Road through the supply depot there. Aircraft engines and spare parts that were brought to Korangi Creek by amphibious aircraft were eventually transferred to Drigh Road ( now Shara-e-Faisal) to be made use of. Much of the equipment serviced by the repair depot was channeled through Korangi to Bombay to support RAF units all over British Raj. After the independence of Pakistan, the station continued to be commanded and manned by RAF personnel till 1949.[citation needed]
Pakistan Air Force[edit]
In December 1949, the first RPAF station commander was Wing Commander A.R.K. Malik.[citation needed] At this stage, it was decided to make Korangi a technical training base for officers and airmen of the PAF. In April 1951, the first technical school was established at this station, and was named the School of Aeronautics (SOA). The school was inaugurated by the Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan. The SOA soon established its reputation as a successful training program in the PAF and abroad, and a large number of foreign countries started sending their air technicians to the base for basic training. In 1963, the School of Electronics (SOE) was moved from PAF Station Malir to Korangi Creek to become the sister institution of the SOA.
The base is implicitly used for the development of the Unmanned aerial vehicle. Pakistan's Integrated Defence Systems (IDS) and the military scientists from College of Aeronautical Engineering and Pakistan Navy Engineering College have been engaged in the research and development of UAVs and aerospace related technologies.

Re: Feelings toward Sil?
What do you think of Sil? Besides the obvious in that she's incredibly hot and that she's also a deadly alien, I mean.
I feel sorry for her, honestly. I mean, she's a sentient being, and the government treats her like some lab rat...remember, the lab guys were going to terminate her simply because they were done! WTF??? She may be an alien/human hybrid, but she's sentient and therefore, from the standpoint of moral philosophy, has a right to live. |

Re: Feelings toward Sil?
I didn't see much of the first movie, so I have no opinion on "Sil." I did, however, see the second movie and I think "Eve" (The alien hybrid from the second movie) was treated poorly.
Even before she broke out they did some pretty nasty experiments on her. I don't blame her for breaking out, either. 20-something years of being locked up with no men and no sex would make me pretty hostle, too...especially around a guy as hot as "Patrick Ross." |

Re: Feelings toward Sil?
Initially you feel sorry for Sil, but as it develops it becomes apparent that her true nature is as an extermination or de-facto invasion device and that the urge to destroy her may have been a gut survival instinct against impending doom...
After seeing the sheer destructive power of Sil you really have to wonder what would posess anyone to make another. This is much like in Alien, only the terminally stupid would want to have a thing like that around. In a way, portraying her as a sympathetic character early on makes her gradual transformation and escalating cruelty all the more vivid. Omega2064 |

I thught Sil was more of a vilan then Eve. Sil wanted to wipe out the human race i didnt simpathise with her as much as i did with Eve. Sil was just an animal, a dustructive she-b**h that was a threat to mankind. Eve was very human she had thoughts that didnt realy on instinct... well ecpept at the very end but she got over that pretty quick. She was just lonly and wanted more of her own kind, she didnt want to kill off the humans, like Patrick and sil did.

Ask HSMO to Stop Exploiting and Killing Some Animals to Save Others
The Humane Society of Missouri does some admirable work with dogs, cats, horses, and other animals--including abused farmed animals who have been seized--and it deserves much praise for its recent efforts to rescue and care for 400+ pit bulls seized in a massive dogfighting raid. But unfortunately, HSMO also continues to host fundraising events that rely on the endangerment and exploitation of horses (for entertainment) and the killing of cows, chickens, and pigs (for food), in order to financially support the care of those very same animals at Longmeadow Rescue Ranch.
Please read this post for more details on this situation and on the events.
Sign this petition to ask the HSMO to change its policies and make its events truly animal-friendly, to stop raising funds for one set of farmed animals by exploiting, endangering, and killing other sets of farmed animals.
The letter is customizable, but please remain respectful. This isn't about yelling at or demonizing HSMO and Longmeadow Rescue Ranch; it is about asking them to recognize a problem and make a compassionate change.
In addition to signing this petition, please consider also faxing your concerns to the HSMO administrative offices: 314-647-4317

- Riggs Utility Jeans, Antique Indigo is rated 5.0 out of 5 by 12.Rated 5 out of 5 by Buck from Durable and comfortable. No worry about the knees or crotch wearing thin. The way they put the double front on it actually looks pretty classy. The pockets are big enough to handle my wallet in a front pocket.

There's no actual level intending to Popeseye if you don't want steak, however, if you are doing it is nicely worth a pay a visit to. I hope it does nicely mainly because Highgate Restaurants stands out locally And that i undoubtedly intend to return.
I'd personally advise the macaroni cheese facet and the fries and collection of sauces may also be Great. If you have any area left, the cheesecake and crumble are equally Great possibilities.
It was a disappointing practical experience. I understand that many men and Places to Eat in Highgate came on the restaurant about this time (6-7pm Saturday 19th Dec) who experienced NOT booked a desk.
The wine list is superb, the menu is easy; they stay with the things they do ideal, a array of distinctive sizes and cuts of fantastic steaks and a small collection of fantastic sides and desserts.
The crossed spoon and fork symbols are consultant with the restaurants location décor & style. These rankings are unbiased in the restaurants foodstuff score. Look at the bare minimum requirements for each amount of restaurant score in Highgate and about Australia.

Dining in Highgate may be an fascinating and worthwhile encounter. Tipping is optional in restaurants, but none the a lot less greatly appreciated. When you are pleased While using the support it is actually customary to leave a idea of five-10%.

Considerably from currently being properly-finished, it absolutely was even now frozen in the center when it arrived at the desk. When a effectively defrosted and cooked burger arrived 50 percent one hour afterwards, the remainder of us had finished our steaks. Along with the payment? A totally free £5 dessert!

Haslam: Workers Comp Reform Still Under Discussion
Gov. Haslam said this week that he has not made a final decision about what to include in a workers' compensation reform package and is weighing all options, but revealed that he is seriously considering removing disputes from the court system. Outside consultants recently submitted a report to the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development suggesting the same idea. The Nashville Business Journal has the story.

Stop Bullying
My niece is bullied every day during school and on her bus ride to school and home from school. Calls have been made to the school and she has told her teacher many times about this situation and nothing is being done. She is 9 years old. If she continues to hear these things in her face everyday, without anything being done about it, who is to say what she may do to herself? How does this make her feel? Maybe she is not the only one!! Please help me stop bullying in this school!!

Monte Dolack
Monte Dolack | |
Born | Great Falls, Montana, U.S. |
May 23, 1950
Nationality | American |
Education | University of Montana |
Known for | Painting, poster art, watercolor |
Notable work | "Blackfoot River";[1] "Going To The Sun";[2] "Returning the Wolf to Yellowstone"[3] "Big Medicine"[4] "Montana History Lesson";[5] the Invader Series[6] |
Movement | Western American Art |
Monte A. Dolack (born May 23, 1950)[7] is an American graphic artist who lives in Missoula, Montana, in the United States. Frommer's called him "one of the best-known artists in Montana."[8] He works primarily in watercolor, acrylic paint, poster art, and lithographs.[9] Dolack's work often features whimsical animals in both a natural and artificial setting (such as a suburban living room), and has a worldwide following.[10] Dolack is considered a key figure in the visual arts of the American West.[11]
Widely known in his home state of Montana,[9][12] Dolack has had his work exhibited worldwide.[13] Some of his work is highly collectible.[9]
Life and career[edit]
Dolack was born in May 1950 to Michael George and Mary (Miller) D. Dolack.[7] His father had two sons from a previous marriage (Bob and Bill), while Mary gave birth to Monte and his sister, Marlene.[14] He graduated from Great Falls High School in 1968.[15] In his senior year, Dolack was chosen to design the cover of the GFHS yearbook, The Roundup. His design was a then-fashionable contemporary art work (similar to a Jackson Pollock image) which a teacher in 2006 later described as "flat-out ugly".[15]
He attended Montana State University in Bozeman from 1969 to 1970 and the University of Montana in Missoula from 1970 to 1974,[7] graduating with a bachelor's degree from the latter institution. While an undergraduate (in the days before Microsoft PowerPoint), Dolack often drew charts and graphs for the University of Montana Bureau of Business and Economic Research, which turned his work into photographic slides.[16] Dolack married Linda LaFond in 1970, but they divorced in 1972.[7] After graduation, Dolack was employed by the Anaconda Copper Company and was a member of "Out of Sight" (a rock band).[9]
He is generally considered to have begun his professional artistic career in 1974.[7] Dolack gained local notice for designing posters for the Crystal Theater, an art film theater in Missoula.[17] By 1997, original Crystal Theater posters were collectors' items.[17] Dolack also created posters which he sold as artwork. Among his most important early works is "Yahoo," which depicts a cowgirl on a horse and an anti-nuclear power symbol at the bottom.[18] Dolack created the poster to commemorate the day the Missoula City Council voted to ban nuclear facilities within the city limits. Beginning in 1978, Dolack had a studio located at 132 W. Front Street in Missoula.[13] A 48-page color collection of his poster art, Catalog of Posters & Prints: Crystal Theatre, was published in 1982.
Dolack married artist Mary Beth Percival on May 11, 1984.[7] The same year, he began a series of works known as the "Invader series." The works feature animals "invading" human habitat, such as ducks swimming in a bathtub or a bear lying on the couch in a den in a house.[12] The following year, Dolack—who was already "a nationally known poster artist"—produced the cover of the book, Wings to the Orient: Pan American Clipper Planes, 1935–1945: A Pictorial History.[19] Dolack's father, Michael, died the same year.[14]
In 1989, Dolack's painting "Fast Forward" was featured in the show "Looking Forward" that exhibited emerging important artists, sponsored by the American Institute of Graphic Artists in Los Angeles.[20] In 1990, Dolack donated a watercolor ("Restoring the Wolf to Yellowstone") depicting wolves looking over a plain of geysers and hot mud springs to the conservation group Defenders of Wildlife, with sales of the poster going to a fund to compensate local ranchers for the loss of livestock incurred due to the reintroduction of grey wolves into Yellowstone National Park.[3] Although the fund also received donations from other foundations and proceeds from a benefit concert by rock artist James Taylor, the majority of the fund's proceeds came from sales of Dolack's art.[21] The National Park Service in April 1990 banned the sale of the posters in Yellowstone and Glacier National Park.[22]
By 1993, his work had been shown in "hundreds of galleries, including some in Japan, Germany and France".[13] That same year, he moved to a new, larger gallery at 139 W. Front Street.[13] In 1998, Dolack donated his popular 1986 watercolor, "Blackfoot River," to the Blackfoot Legacy foundation for use as a fundraiser to oppose construction of a gold mine near Lincoln, Montana.[1] The following year, the Idaho Rivers United foundation commissioned Dolack to create a new work (later titled "Resurrection") depicting a breached dam and the reintroduction of salmon and steelhead trout to the Snake River.[23] The California clothing company Patagonia sold copies of the print through its stores and catalogs.[24]
The next year, Dolack's "Heron Blues" (a poster primarily in blue hues depicting a blue heron flying down a Montana city street at night) was included in the poetic collection Vagrant Grace.[25] In 2000, Dolack painted a 2-by-3-foot (0.61 by 0.91 m) acrylic work, "A History Lesson," which depicted a full-grown American bison standing in a schoolroom which is decorated with pictures, symbols, blackboard writing, and other images important to Montana history.[5] The work hung in the C.M. Russell Museum, one of the nation's premier Western art museums,[26] before being donated to Great Falls High School.[5] That same year, his painting "Streamside," was featured on the cover of the academic work The Evolutionary Imagination in Late-Victorian Novels: An Entangled Bank'.'[27] The same year, Farcountry Press published a retrospective book, Monte Dolack, The Works, featuring his work.[12]
In December 2001, Dolack created a new work, the 23-by-34-inch (58 by 86 cm) "Lewis and Clark and the Corps of Discovery at the White Cliffs of the Missouri," and donated it to the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center near Black Eagle Dam on the Great Falls of the Missouri River.[28] Posters of the work were used to raise money for the center, but it was sold for an undisclosed sum to First Interstate BancSystem three months later.[28] Dolack's mother, Mary, died in 2002.[14]
In 2003, the University of Montana's Montana World Trade Center arranged for several exhibits of Dolack's work in Ireland as part of a trade mission.[29] The showings were so popular and gained such notice in the worldwide art community that showing of Dolack's work in New Zealand were also arranged in 2004.[30]
Dolack was given a second chance to design his high school's yearbook in 2006. For the yearbook's 100th edition, Dolack contributed his recently completed "Montana Power"—which depicts a bison in a field of dry grass, with Square Butte in the background.[15] That same year, Dolack's "Mirage" (a painting of rainbow trout leaping through a field of wheat as if it were water) appeared on the cover of the book Cowboy Trout: Western Fly Fishing As If It Matters.[31] Two years later, Dolack's 2000 work, "A History Lesson" (now retitled "Montana History Lesson") was used on the front cover of the history book Montana: Stories of the Land, published by the Montana Historical Society.[32]
On April 6, 2009, Dolack suffered a serious heart attack.[33] Taken to St. Patrick Hospital and Health Sciences Center, Dolack underwent open-heart surgery, and a stent implanted in an artery to improve blood supply to his heart.[33] The next year, Dolack's "Upper Missouri River Suite," which consists of three hand-drawn lithographs, was added to the art collection hanging at the new Missouri River Federal Courthouse in Great Falls.[34]
In 2011, in celebration of the International Year of Forests, the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe and Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations planted 70 living trees in the Palais des Nations building in Geneva, Switzerland. In front of the temporary forest, the two organizations exhibited a large number of Dolack works which featured forests.[35] The exhibition, "The Art of Trees—A Forest Gallery", also includes displays of innovative wood products and artwork made of wood.[35]
It is not clear which artists have influenced Dolack's work. When he was a teenager, he says, he drew heavily on the work of Jackson Pollock.[15] In 2002, Dolack said he had recently become intrigued by the work of Akseli Gallen-Kallela, a Finnish painter in the Neo-romantic style.[36]
Dolack says he has a large library of artistic reference works which he uses to improve his technique and to gain inspiration.[36] he also has a large number of anatomical, wildlife, landscape, and other reference works which he relies on to bring realism and strong detail to his work.[36] But print works are not the only source of inspiration for him. He once gained an idea for a woodpecker carrying a burning branch ("Stealing Fire") by seeing a rebroadcast of The Power of Myth, a television documentary featuring conversations between mythologist Joseph Campbell and journalist Bill Moyers.[36]
Dolack says his working style is to get an idea which he immediately sketches out on a small piece of paper. He then pins these sketches to a "Wall of Ideas" in his studio, and returns to them later[36] Beginning work on a piece, he conducts research in his library to help make the work more realistic and detailed.[36] His creative technique, however, involves what Dolack calls "working from the inside." As he told the Missoula Independent in 2002: "...I also want to bring in things that are from the inside and not the outside, and find the right place to mix the two of them together. Part of the road I'm on with these pictures is to graduate slowly toward being able to paint more from the inside."[36]
Most of Dolack's post-Crystal Theater work features whimsical animals. While some of his art depicts straightforward scenes from nature, much of it is whimsical in nature. In commemorating a forest fire, one work depicts elk with their antlers on fire. To bring out the way in which fisherman "romance" fish from the water, another work depicts a man dancing with a gigantic rainbow trout. Whimsy is an important characteristic of Dolack's work. Filmmaker Annick Smith has described Dolack's work as "a fairytale version of [an] actual place. His whimsical eye informs both our urban and rural stories, adding color, form and sharp lines to the obscure and chaotic vistas of real life. He's a myth-maker, which is why he is Montana's most popular contemporary artist."[12] Juxtaposition and paradox (a blue heron in an urban setting, fish leaping through a field of wheat) are two of the most common ways in which Dolack creates whimsy in his work.[12] Smith, however, notes that Dolack's work, while representational, incorporates elements of psychedelic art, modern art, and postmodern art.[12] His work also tends to be narrative, in that each image tells a story. Dolack has said his commissioned work tends to be more obvious in this regard, while his personal artwork is meant to be subtle—enjoyable if a viewer understands its philosophical underpinnings, and enjoyable if the viewer does not.[36] As Dolack said of a series of works in 2002: "I didn't want these pictures to be didactic and finger-wagging kinds of pictures. You can get into that making posters, because you're really trying to tell people things, explain things or get a message across. With these pictures, I really wanted there to be a more poetic presence to them, where everyone could find their own message in the picture and have a different interpretation. So I didn't want to get too into explaining each picture."[36]
Environmentalism is another key theme in Dolack's work. Dorothy Hinshaw Patent, former director of the Montana Committee for the Humanities, says that Dolack's environmental message in the mid 1980s was subtle.[12] But by the time of his 2000 work "Montana History Lesson," she notes, Dolack had opted for "overt" statements.[12]
The whimsical nature of Dolack's work masks exceptional technique as an artist, however. Maggie Mudd, executive director of the University of Montana's Montana Museum of Art and Culture, points out that Dolack uses "painstaking painting techniques" which produce highly polished visual surfaces.[37] Dolack's work also exhibits "wildly inventive color".[37]

Waldren's, and is the scene of several little artillery duels between the opposing forces.
Here Gen. Stevenson, with his brigade, consisting of the Eleventh Tennessee, Fourth Tennessee, Forty-second Georgia, Eighth Georgia battalion, and Yeiser's battery, with the Eufala artillery, met the enemy.
Taylor's brigade acted in conjunction.
All went to work to dislodge the enemy; with such a furore did they attack him, that in a few hours the Federals, consisting of about three brigades, turned and fled, the majority at a run, and some in great disorder.
The Sixteenth Ohio was the only regiment that left in any manner appertaining to good order.
As usual, they left a good portion of their dead on our hands, taking seven or eight wagon-loads off previous to their defeat.
We have not captured any artillery, as announced; neither did the Third Tennessee regiment lose one hundred and nine men in killed and wounded, as reported; but they fought gallantly, and I have been told that, had they been supported, they would have taken the enemy's guns in a charge made by them.
Capt. Corput's battery did fine execution, and poured the shot and shell into their disordered column as they put out in a double-quick for the Gap. Forty prisoners were captured, a good many stand of arms, and some commissary stores.
Lieut.-Col. Gordon, of the Eleventh Tennessee regiment, (Col. Hains,) was captured by the enemy.
I cannot call this a battle, as it does not come up to my idea of what a battle is; I denominate it more like a heavy skirmish.
I have asked as high as fifty persons what our losses are, and after putting myself to the trouble of comparing all statements, I strike a balance of nine killed and thirty or forty wounded.
The loss of the enemy is variously estimated at from fifty to one hundred and fifty in killed and wounded.
It was a brilliant affair, and reflects great credit upon our arms.
It has come like a thunderbolt on the Unionists in this section, who were making their boasts of soon shaking hands with their Federal friends.
It has relieved a large section of country from the depredations of a ravaging foe. The boasted threat that this railroad would soon be in their hands, coupled with the congratulatory promise of Andy Johnson to dine with his tory friends, is all exploded now, and pray "where now is heard the scream of Montgomery's eagle?"
The Federals fled to the Gap, and our forces now occupy Tazewell.
They have advanced in a few days over twenty miles in the enemy's front, and I should not be surprised if this affair, small as it appears to be, will cause General Morgan to leave Tennessee, and let his hoped for junction with Buell go by the board.
The decisive battle of East-Tennessee is yet to come off, and Buell is now "trying not to try" --not to find out where to attack us, but how to avoid it and get safely away.

Julie and Julia by Julie Powell
359 pages
Published July 2009 by Little, Brown and Company
Source: the publisher - in fact, this was one of the first books ever offered to me for review
Julie Powell was pushing thirty, just moving into an even crappier apartment than the one she and her husband were living in and suffering through a series of temp jobs which are sucking her soul away. Enter Julia Childs - specifically Child's masterwork "Mastering The Art of French Cooking" (MtAoFC).
As a teenager, Powell (when she wasn't sneaking a peek at her parents' copy of The Joy of Sex) could frequently be found reading recipes from her mother's copy of MtAoFC so it was only logical that she would turn to it again for a source of inspiration when she found herself desperately in need of something to do to make herself not feel like a failure. With her husband's encouragement, Powell started a blog and the Julie/Julia Project was born. Powell set a goal to cook all 524 recipes in the book in 365 days. Along the way Powell had many great successes but just as many disasters. Her husband should probably be nominated for sainthood - the woman didn't get meals on the table until most people are headed for bed, her housekeeping (what there was of it to begin with) became so non-existent that she once discovered maggots in her kitchen, and she subjected her friends to all manner of food they would never have chosen to eat if they didn't love her.
After reading about the source of my copy of this book, you may have asked yourself why it took me so long to finally read this book. When I was offered this book, I was thrilled and had every intention of reading it immediately. Maybe I was put off by some reviews. Maybe because it was already everywhere. I'm not sure. Then when the movie came out, I was determined to read it first. Then after I'd seen the movie, I was determined to read it while the story was still fresh in my mind. Still I didn't get to it. It took a couple of new books sitting in my to-review pile to remind me that this one was still waiting for me.
I liked it, despite its flaws. Powell has a biting sense of humor and is just as willing to poke fun at herself as she is to poke fun at others. A complaint some have voiced is that Powell has a bit of a dirty mouth. I didn't notice it much (sounds like it's definitely more prominent in the blog). She does get a bit distracted at the end dropping names about the people who came to interview and film her and often got off topic in describing her friend's lives. I could have done without reading so often, too, about what a terrible housekeeper Powell was. Seriously, I don't care how busy working and cooking you are, there should never be maggots in your kitchen! Republicans be warned - Powell does not like you, a point she made repeatedly. But she is something of a voice for all of those who toil away in jobs where they are unappreciated, overworked, and underpaid. Maybe she could have whined a bit less about it but aren't we really all longing to find something to do with our lives that will fulfill us?
I loved the movie adaptation of this book which is also based on Julia Child's book, My Life In France, which is coming up soon for me. Powell may not have been able to end her book this way, but after all of this talk about wonderful food, I have to say it - bon appetit!

I really liked this book, bit felt that Julie was mean to he husband at times and I really didn't like that. She later wrote a book called Cleaving, about her experiences butchering her own meat, and she goes into detail about the affair she had behind her husband's back and the fact that she left him for awhile. I know that's not really the point of either of the books., but it just made me like her a lot less and I found it really hard to empathize with her. I agree though, there should never be maggots in the kitchen! Great review, by the way!

Have you noticed that I can't comment if I'm logged in (not just on your blog, about half of blogger blogs)?
Sorry you didn't love this one. I wonder if your experience would have been different if you read it before seeing the movie (I liked the book more than the movie). It's not an award winner, just a fun book that I could relate to... I don't know how to cook.
I also listened vs read....
I hope you enjoy Kicthen Counter more.
Mari I had no interest in reading this book or seeing the movie, but grabbed the audio off the library shelf one day when I was in a hurry to get out of town on a trip. I really enjoyed it - then saw the movie and like it, too. I did notice that her language was a bit rough at times - nothing you don't hear nearly everywhere these days, but still unnecessary in a book (in my opinion). But what I loved about her was her determination to accomplish this task that was, honestly, silly. Who would have thought that it would turn her into a bestselling author and the basis for a movie???
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed both the book and the movie, each unique and can each stand alone, but since reading Julia's unnecessarily rude tweets on twitter right after appearing on the Rachel Ray show, I've decided I won't read anything else by her again. I would re-read the book again and I've watched the movie several times. (I do agree about the maggots! Bleah!) I've had Julia's My Life In France sitting on the shelf for some time now...
ReplyDeleteWow, even if your kitchen isn't spotless, there still shouldn't be maggots!
I started reading this book awhile back after a co-worker gave it to me, but I gave up after about 30 pages. I just didn't like Julie at all. I'd really wanted to enjoy the book, too, because I loved watching Julia Child on PBS when I was younger.I've been interested in this one after having seen the movie, which I adored. But maggots? And Democratic? ;) Funny that this was one of your first books you received for review. I still have some of those early birds lurking on my shelves as well. Afraid not as tempting as this one might have been though! Thanks for the wonderful thoughts on this!
