Polymers and neutron scattering
Clarendon Press, May 26, 1994 - Literary Criticism - 436 pages
Neutron scattering has become a widely applied technique for studying problems in polymer science and technology. This is the first book written specifically for non-specialists that introduces the theoretical models and experimental techniques needed to understand results obtained from neutron scattering. In attempting to present a readable text that requires little expert knowledge, the authors have produced a practical volume that fills the gap between the often technical, pedagogic research articles that have characterized the literature and the almost entire absence of information available to the polymer scientist who desires a firmer grasp of the advantages offered by neutron scattering in materials research. Researchers and graduate students interested in polymers and neutron scattering will find this book useful and informative.

Earth : Asia : Southeast Asia : Indonesia : Bali : South Bali : Seminyak
Seminyak is a beach town in South Bali.
The next town north of Legian, Seminyak is more upmarket with mostly luxury accommodation and fashionable high-end restaurants and bars. The atmosphere is much more sophisticated and laid-back than Kuta, and the beach in particular is quieter during the day. Seminyak is also the high end spa and boutique shopping capital of Bali. Nowhere is the upscaling of Bali in recent years more obvious than here.
It is hard to imagine that only ten years ago this was a distinctly separate village, and something of a backwater. Development has occurred at an astonishing pace, and as well as absorbing all green space which formerly separated Seminyak from Legian, it is now almost impossible to determine where Seminyak ends and the nearby villages of Petitenget, Umalas and Kerobokan begin. This certainly has its downside, and the whole district has become very congested.
Update for 2013 New roadworks have been completed and traffic has been reduced by as much as 50% from south to north. 3pm to 6pm is still a time you need to avoid traveling.
Get in
By car
Seminyak is part of the main west coast conurbation in South Bali and it can get very congested with traffic. There are two main routes in. From Kuta and Legian, Jalan Legian runs parallel with the beach and at its western limit, becomes Jalan Seminyak. If at all possible try to avoid this road though, and take instead the eastern bypass called Jalan Sunset. This is almost invariably the quicker route from Kuta and Legian into Seminyak, although it is actually further in distance.
A prepaid taxi from the airport to Seminyak costs a fixed Rp 60,000. Trips to or from Kuta cost around Rp 30,000 and from Legian about Rp 15,000.
Get around
The streets of Seminyak are increasingly jammed, with Jalan Laksmana being a particular black-spot. Your best options here are to walk or rent a motorcycle/bicycle.
Roads in Bali are usually named for what is at the end end of the road. So as you leave Legian, Jalan Legian changes it's name to Jalan Seminyak. A number of roads in Seminyak have alternative names. The change often reflects a change in what is on the street. Whilst this issue is not exclusive to Seminyak, it does seem to happen here more than anywhere else in Bali. There follows a list of road names with the most popular given first and the alternatives afterwards in brackets.
Seminyak Beach and Petitenget Beach is a continuous expanse of grey sand stretching in both directions as far as the eye can see. To the south it becomes Legian Beach and then Kuta Beach, but is noticeably quieter than both. The sunsets here are famous, and opportunites abound to mix with the glitterati who frequent the high end beach front estalilshments such as Ku De Ta. Easy access points to the beach are at the end of Jalan Dhyana Pura, and from the large public car park (Rp 2,000) between Petitenget Temple and La Luciola restaurant.
Spas, massage and other treatments
Seminyak is the high-end spa capital of Bali. Your spa experience here will be one of great luxury in a sophisticated setting. You pay up for all of that of course, but the prices are still 50% or more cheaper than you would pay in a western country.
If you are staying in one of Seminyak's high end hotels there will undoubtedly be an in-house spa service. If you are staying in a villa, then in-villa treatments will almost certainly be offered - check with the staff.
A little bit of surfing goes on here, but it is not as good as off Legian and Kuta beaches to the south, or at Canggu to the north.
Bungee jumping
Seminyak is the centre in Bali for hip and inventive fashion boutiques, other designer stores and art studios. A good starting point for any shopper would be the legion of small boutiques and designer stores on Jalan Laksmana.
Clothing and accessories
If you are looking for Indonesian antiques (genuine or reproductions), or just enjoy browsing for eclectic homewares, try Jalan Kerobokan between the junction with Jalan Seminyak and the next set of traffic lights to the north. This is a very busy road and moving around is not easy, but both sides of the street are lined with numerous furniture, antique and homeware stores. A quieter, but just as rewarding option for similar products, is Jalan Mertanadi which runs parallel to Jalan Kerobokan just to the east.
Perhaps surprisingly, two traditional fresh produce markets remain in Seminyak. The most convenient is on the west side of the last bend at the very northern end of Jalan Raya Seminyak, and is widely known as Seminyak Market. A little more out of the way is a similar market in Kerobokan, called Taman Sari. Take Jalan Raya Kerobokan north from Jalan Raya Seminyak until you reach the first set of lights. Turn right and Taman Sari market is almost immediately on your righthand side. Both are best in the mornings from 7AM-11AM, and provide visitors with the opportunity to examine and purchase traditional, fresh local fruit and vegetables.
Over the past 10 years, Seminyak has developed a world-class dining scene. If you want to splurge on one very special dinner while you are in Bali, look no further than the higher end options in Seminyak. Prices are high by Bali standards but on an international scale still good value for the highest quality of food and eating environment. The clientele is demanding here and the turnover of restaurants quite high, so those that make it and stick around are invariably very good.
Although they have become harder to find in recent years, there are still some excellent budget options available in the area.
Many of Bali's hippest nightspots are in Seminyak.
Gay bars
There are numerous gay bars on Jalan Dhyana Pura, the most popular of which is Mixwell.
There is virtually no backpacker accommodation in Seminyak. Budget travellers will generally do better to stay in nearby Kuta or Legian. However, there are some (fairly uninspiring) losmen type places in Gang Bima which runs south off the northern end of Jalan Dhyana Pura, right in the heart of Seminyak.
The main choices are villas and higher end hotels. There are some good bargains to be had in the mid-range though in low season, so shop around.
Beware of false advertising. Only the most expensive "villas" are completely private and self-contained, while many share at least some facilities, and the cheaper ones are just clusters of bungalows.
Any villas listed in this section do not have private courtyards and share facilities like a swimming pool.
Villas listed here are either private individual properties with their own pool, or are within a all-villa hotel which offers only completely private units.
Stay safe
Seminyak is the centre of Bali's party drug scene with offers of ecstasy and cocaine especially common. Pay heed to the advice here, and avoid at all costs as Indonesia's drug laws are one of the strictest in the world.

My mother decided to have me at the age of 20 without any support from my "father" or our family. She was a young mother, living in poor conditions in Colombia, who barely made enough money to support herself, much less raise a child. Despite all this, she was able to provide for me and for my siblings as they came. However, I oftentimes imagine how different things would have been if my mother had a support system pre, during, and post pregnancy. I wonder how many more young mothers are out there without anyone to turn to or anyone who shares their experiences and can lend a shoulder to lean on. Which is why I'm so excited for the work the young mother's group in New York is going to do.
The first time this group of young mothers set foot into the office they were shy and hesitant to open up about the hardships they've faced as young mothers. Their babies sat on our office floor, too scared to ask for snacks or even a juice box. With time, the mothers got to know each other better, they shared their fears of not becoming someone, of hating baby throw up, of deciding not to have an abortion even though they knew it would be difficult from here on after. Many gatherings that led to a briefing in Washington DC where these mothers stressed the importance of investing in them. They walked around DC with a sense of ownership; owning their stories, their experiences, their struggles, their goals, hopes and aspirations for the future that awaits them and their babies too.
Marymar, one of the young mothers who went to DC shared her experience with us:
It was a fun experience and I would love to do more things like that. I felt motivated. I want to continue being vocal about the issues young mother's face and to get more girls to do this. Even though there are people that don't think about our future, we have to do it! We have to do everything we can to make sure others work with us and help us out. I want my kids to look up to me and to be proud of me. I'm doing all this so they can be happy. I want my daughter to one day say, "that's my mother!" and that she'll follow in my footsteps and help others. All I want to do is be somebody in life and everyone will see that I made it even though they didn't believe I could. I will make it, that is a promise.
For these moms, the journey is not over though, it has just begun. As we continue to grow together and learn from each we hope to see real change in our community. These young moms are determined to obtain the resources they need to help their families or to create paths that are not there for them the way my mother did. From having access to child care, scholarships, food and shelter, comprehensive sex education to parent only parks, they will continue to fight for it all. But they won't be alone.
One thing is certain; they are not fighting for themselves but for their kid(s). Their kids are the reason they are able to get out of bed sometimes, why some of them are still enrolled in college even though it is so difficult to find child care. Their kids are the reason why they're standing up to the injustices and inequalities they face every day. Because some day, things will change, and their little ones will be there to witness it and know their mothers fought for this. Without realizing it, these moms have already become someone in life. They are warriors and creators of their own destinies.
If you are also a young mom in New York and you'd like to get involved with us, connect with us here. Also, check out this video of the young mothers in DC.

We provide free registered air mail . We recommend EMS (5-8 days) shipping with insurance.
2. Q: How long does your hair last?
A: Usually, it can last several month if proper washing & care. How you care for your extension will be the ultimate determining factor. It is not your own hair and can't get nutrition, and so, we recommend to apply hair conditioner or hair oil from time to time.
Improper dying will ruin the hair and the ruined hair will be very dry, tangled and broken.
3.Q: Can they be straightened, curled ?
A: Treat the hair as if it is your own. Use a flat iron/ straightener or tongs, even when fitted, but as with your own hair, never use hot tools too often as you could dry the hair and it will not last as long.
4.Q. Can I dye /color the hair?
A: Yes. 100% human hair hair must be able to dye or color. As a general rule, it is easier to darken the hair than to lighten the hair. We recommend to dye darker, instead of lightening or bleaching since the hair extensions had been chemically processed and dyed. If you are trying to lighten or bleach the hair extensions, you will have to fade the original color firstly, which is very possible to ruin the hair extensions. The ruined hair will break continually everytime you comb it.
Please test a small sample first before you dye the whole set. Dying hair will take risk and we DON'T accept return if customers dye or bleach the hair extensions.
Virgin hair is not processed chemically and it keeps cuticle intact. you can dye it any color,either darker or lighter.Please test a small sample first and see whether it can be dyed to your desirable color.
5.Q. Can I wash & blow-dry the hair extensions?
A: You can wash them as you would your own. Shampoo and conditioner. We also recommend using a hair treatment on them every few weeks, because the hair is not attached to your scalp, it is not getting the oils it should be. Using a treatment/hair mask will help keep them looking healthier and shiny for longer!
You will find that you don't need to wash your extensions too much, about every 3 weeks.
The extensions can be blow-dryed on low setting, but it is not recommended to do it too often. It is best to let your hair extensions dry naturally after washing them. please comb from bottom to top.
6.Q. can I swim with the hair extensions?
A. We don't recommend to swim with the hair extension since the chemicals in the swimming pool will have negative affect with our hair extension, which had been chemcially dying and processing. If you have to swim with the hair extension, please wash and clean immediately after swimming and apply hair conditioner as well. We are not responsible for any problem if you swim with hair extensions.
7.Q: How to tell human hair with synthetic hair?
A: human hair has natural protein . It is easy to tell by burning and smell : human hair will be ash , which will go away after pinching. human hair will smell foul . When burning , the human hair will show white smoke. While synthetic hair will be a sticky ball after burning and will show black smoke . And human hair must be able to dye, curl, straighten. If the hair extensions can't be dyed, it must contain synthetic hair.
Moreover, human hair may have very few gray hair and split end. It is normal and not a quality problem.
8.Q: is EMS or DHL shipping expensive ?
A: No, EMS or DHL shipping is not expensive. it is fast, reliable with insurance. you will get full refund if the parcel is lost. In most cases, you will have to pay one EMS or DHL shipping for multiple items order. there is almost no price margin between one item and mutiple items order if shipping by EMS or DHL. and so, we recommend EMS or DHL shipping strongly for high value order or multiple items order, which is more than USD50.00 ;

STOCKTON - A woman felt fortunate to suffer only minor injuries when a man fleeing from police in a stolen truck crashed into her car about 1:30 p.m. Thursday near North Wilson Way and East Roosevelt Street.
STOCKTON - A woman felt fortunate to suffer only minor injuries when a man fleeing from police in a stolen truck crashed into her car about 1:30 p.m. Thursday near North Wilson Way and East Roosevelt Street.
Rosa Arceo, a 33-year-old Stockton resident, said she was going south on North Wilson Way to pick up lunch when a man identified by police as 20-year-old Jason McKay sped through a busy intersection and collided with her red Honda Accord, authorities said.
A witness told police that McKay was going east on East Roosevelt Street and traveling about 70 mph. The impact to Arceo's front right quarter panel sent her vehicle spinning across two lanes of oncoming traffic into a pole about 20 feet away.
"I saw the air bag explode in front of me, and I just started spinning," said Arceo, who complained of pain and swelling in her left knee. "The way he hit me, I thought, 'Oh, my God, that's it. The car's going to explode, and I'm going to die here.' "
The pursuit started when members of a regional auto theft task force spotted McKay driving a red Nissan pickup reported stolen Saturday, authorities said. A marked patrol car attempted to initiate a traffic stop, but McKay refused to stop, police said.
"I saw him coming, and I knew somebody was going to get hit," said Larry Willis, 68, who witnessed the crash. "I thought, 'Oh, man, I hope nobody gets hurt.' "
After colliding with Arceo's car, McKay crashed his vehicle into an electrical box that controls the railroad crossing apparatus at North Wilson Way and East Roosevelt Street, authorities said. The crash slowed traffic and forced city workers to replace a railroad crossing arm at the intersection.
McKay was arrested on suspicion of vehicle theft, possession of stolen property and reckless evasion of a police officer. He was also arrested for a misdemeanor battery warrant. He was being held without bail at the San Joaquin County Jail.

It's a dream to nearly all of us I imagine. To follow the Seahawks for an entire season. Home and Away. I had big plans years ago. Had the title of the book in mind. Themes identified. A rough outline set to paper. Funds set aside. Youth on my side. Then, abruptly, all that was cast aside in favor of a sultry U of Chicago temptress with a great rack, a PhD in Anthropology (present-day Mayans) bipolar disorder and an ecstasy/narcotic habit that knew no bounds save those imposed by judges and doctors.
Now. 10? 12? Years removed from that episode and on the eve of a season of unprecedented promise, I think of some guy we met this past December. In Toronto. A lone Seahawks fan three rows behind Tech, MysterMatt and I. He was there, like us, to attend and enjoy and chronicle the Seahawks victory over the Buffalo Bills. We spoke briefly during the game and it turns out he had been traveling 'with' the team all year long. Had attended every single game home and away, usually alone. Instant Seahawks royalty in my eyes. I'm guessing he was in his early thirties and I believe he said he held a job with Microsoft. We had intended to all celebrate the victory together post-game and learn more about his adventures but in the euphoria (and stupor) that followed the game those intentions were waylaid. And we lost touch.
I told him about .NET (always surprised how many Seahawks fans don't know about this place!)..
So I am curious if he or anyone else here has some grand plans and the means to carry it out this year??
I cannot imagine a more thrilling adventure-and I've had a few-than to follow the Seahawks game after game during this Championship Season.

One suspect "believed deputies were God," sheriff's sergeant said
Kern County Sheriff's deputies arrested two men for unsafe shooting in Taft Heights Friday night, and they say one of the men was under the influence of synthetic bath salts and methamphetamine and hallucinating.
Deputies were dispatched to the area of Third Avenue. and E Street after receiving reports of two men armed with rifles and one wearing a mask, walking southbound towards the fields on 25 Hill.
As deputies arrived, they heard the sound of gunfire from the area south of E street, Sgt. Martin Downs said.
They detained two men, identified as Matthew Christopher Ray and James Hobbs, both 21.
The men were armed with loaded .22-caliber rifles.
Downs said Ray was "acting bizarre, hallucinating, and believing the responding deputies were God."
The deputies attributed Ray's behavior to the use of the drugs.
Both men were arrested and transported to the Sheriff's central receiving facility in Bakersfield.
Ray was arrested for being under the influence of a controlled substance while possessing a firearm, negligent discharge of a firearm, and possession of drug paraphernalia. Hobbs was arrested for negligent discharge of a firearm.

|Batteryonline.org.uk supplies cheap CANON CB-600 camcorder battery, and replacement CANON CB-600 camcorder batteries for Canon, Sony, Samsung, JVC, etc.
How to charge your new CANON CB-600 camcorder battery better?Li-ion batteries have some mutual characteristics, if you know camcorder battery maintenance, you could also take good care of your laptop, camera, cell phone batteries.
2. When charging the battery for the first time your charger (or camcorder) may indicate that charging is complete after just 10 or 15 minutes. This is a normal phenomenon with rechargeable batteries. Simply remove the battery from the charger (or camcorder) and repeat the charging procedure.
3. It is important to condition (fully discharge and then fully charge) the battery every two to three weeks. Failure to do so may significantly shorten the battery's life (this does not apply to Li-ion batteries, which do not require conditioning).
4. To discharge, simply run your device under the battery's power until it shuts down or until you get a low battery warning. Then recharge the battery as instructed in your user's manual. If the battery will not be in use for a month or longer, it is recommended that it be removed from the device and stored in a cool, dry, clean place.
5. It is normal for a battery to become warm during charging and discharging. A charged battery will eventually lose its charge if unused. It may therefore be necessary to recharge the battery after a storage period.
6. The milliamp-hour (mAH) rating of the batteryonline.org.uk batteries will often be higher than the one on your original battery. A higher mAH rating is indicative of a longer lasting (higher capacity) battery and will not cause any incompatibilities.

I've been rereading my favorite books lately--some that I haven't picked up since high school--and enjoying them all over again. I'm not sure if it's because now I'm a married woman but some of them seem to be a lit-tle bit juicier the second time around. I guess I must have been clueless about half of what was going on but at any rate the whole thing got me thinking about how so many of my favorite books have been banned at one point or another for a variety or reasons.
You'd be surprised at what gets kicked off the shelves--though a few of these haven't been banned outright but were merely challenged.
1. Sylvester and the Magic Pebble by William Steig. I don't know if you've read other books by William Steig but a lot of them are . . . odd. Shrek is one of his creations and let me just say that the movie is an improvement but I really like this little picture book about a donkey that finds a magic pebble and accidentally wishes himself into a rock. Oops.
It was banned in several U.S. cities because the police are pigs. Literally. Sylvester's a donkey and the cops are pigs which shows how dense I am because I never caught the joke--if you can call that a joke. Apparently there were people who found that offensive enough to ban the book so children reading it wouldn't be influenced by a work of fiction showing disrespect for law enforcement and be turned to a life of crime. You know, seems like I saw a government study showing how drastically crime has risen since the book's publication . . .
2. Forever Amber by Kathleen Winsor. This is the one I'm currently reading--though it's possible that by the time this post goes live I may have been sitting up all night to finish it and slurp up every exciting tidbit--with Andrew out of town there's no telling how late I will stay up.
It's a historical romance novel set in 17th century England with Amber St. Clare (what a name) as the main character/tramp. While banning Sylvester and the Magic Pebble might be funny, I can see how this 1944 saga got itself into a bit of trouble--the lovely heroine hops from bed to bed to bed and though you recognize how trashy she is you can't help but root for her (in her defense it's not as if there were a lot of professional options open to women three hundred years ago, especially once they'd been ill-used).
It's a 20th century version of Moll Flanders (another fun banned book) and according to Wikipedia "Fourteen states banned [Forever Amber] as pornography. The first was Massachusetts, whose attorney general cited 70 references to sexual intercourse, 39 illegitimate pregnancies, 7 abortions, and 10 descriptions of women undressing in front of men as reasons for banning the novel." Sounds as if he enjoyed the book pretty thoroughly doesn't it? Quite literally banned in Boston.
Funny thing is, I couldn't remember anything that happened in it from my first reading so it's as if I'm reading it new all over again. While there is a promiscuous plot line it's pretty tame by today's standards--I doubt it would get a PG-13 rating if filmed just as it is written. Go Amber!
3. Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. This novella is my favorite work by Steinbeck and it has been challenged by school boards since its publication because of vulgar language, racism, violence and "not representing traditional values." You might think this happened 50 years ago but no, that occurred in 2005 in Illinois. Maybe someone woke up, figured that this 1937 work bore the responsibility for the moral decay, Communism and poor grammar of the past seventy years and decided to suddenly do something about it.
I find it interesting when a book is challenged because it portrays racism. Why is racism something that should be prettied over? Unfortunately it's part of our history and is a viable force in many people's lives so to pretend that it doesn't exist--or never existed--is not only illogical but dangerous, echoing that "they who do not study history are doomed to repeat it" sentiment. I've never understood why a book with a "mature" theme whether it's racism, adultery, treason or murder should be automatically forbidden--it entirely depends on what the books says about the theme. You can't find a book with more adultery than Anna Karenina but Tolstoy hardly glamorizes it, just the opposite in fact, and because of its subject matter I find his masterpiece one of the most tragic and moral books there are. Just an opinion.
4. Lord of the Flies. I read this my sophomore year of high school and it's one of the few books from that period of my life that I can still recall in vivid detail. It was an exciting book and our teacher presented it in a way that sparked debate and conversation and taught us about political philosophy and human nature.
Unfortunately it has been very popular with the censors and has made the list of most banned books of the 20th century though I had a hard time nailing down exactly what it was they objected too. The best I could come up with was that it said ugly things about us as a race. I guess someone didn't feel it was constructive criticism.
5. Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling. I feel sheepish allowing Rowling the honor of being included on a list alongside Steinbeck and Golding (her books should really be considered glamorized screen plays) but darn it, I enjoyed them and it bugs me that they've been banned here and protested there.
From what I understand the argument is that they portray witchcraft. Is talking about wizards the same thing as talking about witchcraft? Seems to me there's a difference but besides this gap in reasoning I've wondered why--if the books are so dangerous--those who want to get them pulled off the shelves can't produce a sample of the population who has supposedly been turned to the dark side through Harry Potter. Surely, if these books really are as dangerous as some are claiming, there must be a bunch of people one could turn to as proof that Harry Potter is an evil influence. Anyone? You know, kind of a Catcher in the Rye-Mark David Chapman kind of thing.
6. The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien. I was just about to say "Well if you're going to ban Harry Potter for having magic then you ought to take out The Wizard of Oz, Half Magic, A Wrinkle in Time, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Odyssey and Lord of the Rings" but then I got to the next entry on the list and what do you know? They did ban it!
Supposedly (and I haven't confirmed this so you might take it with a grain of salt) in 2001 in Alamagordo, New Mexico LOTR was burned along with other books deemed inappropriate. With all the bad things going on in the world, with all the injustice and evil left to fight it makes me shake my head to think that someone felt that by burning this particular book they were making the world a safer place. I guess they were picking their battles. "Low hanging fruit" as they say?
7. Tess of the D'urbervilles by Thomas Hardy. This isn't really surprising because all of Hardy's works were published in Victorian times so I've always assumed that they all offended those carefully-guarded English eyes.
They're all about unhappy people making unhappy choices and they all end up--interestingly enough--unhappy. But they have great names: Eustacia Vye, Tess Durbeyfield, Bathsheba Everdene, Diggory Venn, Tamsin Yeobright, Arabella Donn, Damon Wildeve--with names like that his characters are obviously doomed to a very dramatic destruction.
Anyway, Tess is seduced by a man posing as her cousin and when she bears his child she's ruined. She finds true love later but this new perfect guy doesn't know her past--what will happen if she tells him? Will Tess marry Angel? (yes, that's her man's name) Will he forgive her her past? Inquiring minds want to know.
8. Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy. If stories of unwed mothers don't shock you then maybe you'll get a jolt out of Hardy's last novel (he just wasn't getting the hint about toning down the subject matter was he?)
Jude is tricked into marrying Arabella. Jude is unhappy. So Jude leaves Arabella and finds another named Sue who has left her own unhappy marriage. They unionize (so to speak) and produce six children but not without a great deal of guilt and trauma which finally results in their oldest child killing the other children before hanging himself to ease his parents' difficulties. However, despite their child's ironic intentions Jude and Sue feel this does not help their difficulties and is instead God's judgment come against them so the two break up, dying broken-hearted in the end.
Now what's there to object to in that I ask?
But I do love Thomas Hardy--he's just about my favorite and I feel sad that the book produced enough backlash to drive him from literature (so the story goes). He ended up writing poetry instead. I'm sure that really cheered him up--I mean I know so many happy, cheerful, non-depressed poets.
9. Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell. I remember this one fanning the flames of my young heart back in high school but I didn't really remember it having anything worthy of being cast from the library shelves. Shows how much I know because it was banned in Anaheim, California in 1984 for using the word "nigger." I'd be curious to know if anyone else finds this baffling--slavery, bigotry and race hatred just don't seem like something that should be forgotten or hushed up. Reminds me of those who want to claim the Holocaust never happened.
Besides I don't think that Gone with the Wind is exactly the rallying cry for neo-Nazi or Aryan hate groups, they've got their own pamphlets and reading material I hear so I'd imagine once again, the power of this novel to lead people astray is pretty minimal. All I remember is reading the book, loving it completely, recognizing that Scarlet was a fascinating, nasty woman with few morals except to survive at all costs and that life back then was tough--but most especially if you were black.
10. The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare. Before I did this list I had the false impression that book burning was a thing of the 1950s that came and went with McCarthyism and Black Lists and Red Scares. Oh how wrong I was. Seems that back in 2002--a mere six years ago--this book was challenged in Cromwell (coincidence?) Connecticut on the grounds that it promotes witchcraft and violence. Did they even read the book? I find it ironic that this Newberry Award winner, one of the best children's books ever written which has survived almost fifty years of publication (through Joseph McCarthy himself) finally was called to the mat by the Crowmwell School District. If only they'd discovered the dangers sooner they'd have been able to save all those millions of kids such as myself who grew up loving this book from a life of pain and suffering.
It makes me wonder if those who spend their time crusading against books like this have even been to the movies recently. I could be wrong but seems to me that some of the latest trailers I saw were a bit more violent than anything Speare came up with. No one seems to be protesting those.
11. Madame Bovary by Gustav Flaubert. Perhaps it should be called Madame Ovary instead given all the adultery going on in those pages but once again, just as I said with Anna Karenina, it's not the subject matter so much as the way the subject matter is treated that makes a difference to me. Anyone reading how Madame Bovary destroys herself and those around her would be hard-pressed to say this book paints a pretty picture of infidelity and as I recall even the Bible has a thing or two to say about the subject. It's all in how the act is presented that makes the difference.
12. Tom Jones by Henry Fielding. Kind of an old-fashioned soap opera with mistaken identities, illegitimate children and lost/found fortunes. I suppose it goes against my previous sentence claiming tone is the definer of what is bad and good because Mr. Jones kind of romps through life without much responsibility or penalty for his *ahem* "friendliness." But if it is a soap opera it's the most euphemistic, vague and ambiguous soap opera I've ever seen. You have to be pretty up on 19th century English slang to get most of what's going on.
13. The Lorax by Dr. Seuss. And I leave you with a laugh. The Lorax was supposedly challenged in 1989 by the Laytonville, California Unified School District because the book "criminalizes the forest industry."
I'm not a huge fan of the book because even as a kid I felt as if it was shoving a message down my throat--ditto for the The Sneeches and The Butter Battle--just because I was young doesn't mean I didn't know what a metaphor was and kids don't necessarily like to feel like they're in school when they're reading a picture book. Nonetheless I'm trying to visualize the person who felt they'd be able to sleep better at night knowing that one less child would be subjected to the evils of Dr. Seuss' political leanings.
Strange people out there folks, strange people.
And if books aren't your thing you might try your hand at movies--here's a puzzle to see how well you know your cinema. Guess the movie from the typeface on the poster. How many can you name?

Comics 884 and 885: A Trip Into Randy's Deranged Mind
"Oh yeah, we'll have a kid and it'll be a girl and she'll be fucking hot, like porn star hot," he moans to himself as he pours himself another glass of milk. He tries to drink it in such a fashion that it gives him a milk mustache. He imagines the mustache is Megan's.
His mind refuses to relinquish this thought. Randy promptly grabs a pen and begins drawing his hypothetical daughter as a porn star--completely naked, of course, as is the usual case with XKCD women--but then he realizes that this amazingly sexy and milk-endowed woman he is envisioning is his daughter! He must come up with a way to distance himself from these thoughts! And he has to make it funny to his audience. What's something unsexy that everyone loves?
Mr. Rogers! Let's go with that. Wasn't there some game where you came up with your porn star name? It involved streets or some shit, right? Cool, comic done. Back to masturbating to your hypothetical daughter.
885. Randy wants to let everyone know that he recycles, of course, but he also wants to let everyone know that the people at the recycling center have compiled an elaborate dossier on him, based on the things they gather from his house. They have even accurately concluded that he is what is colloquially referred to as an "asshole."
He is inaccurate in how they came to this conclusion, of course. He assumes it is because he is only intermittently concerned with making the recyclists' (do you like that? I just made that up right now) job easier that they have concluded this. Really it is mostly because every available surface he recycles has the word 'Megan' written on it, over and over and over again--and inflicting your creepiness on the poor people at the recycling center is pretty much the biggest dick move out there, next to possibly maintaining a hate blog for a comic you don't really even care about.

You people disgust me, with your pathetic attempts to discredit Randall by portraying him as some kind of lazy, incompetent sex pervert. But I know, this is only a projection of your own deranged souls, onto Randall's infinitely magnanimous being. Every line Randall draws makes him more money than you do in a month, Rob, and your contempt is clearly just a misguided attempt to hide your jealous admiration, as Randall is brilliant, wise, funny and beautiful. He is everything you've ever wanted to be but couldn't because of your chicken like mind and manatee shaped body. You mock xkcd, because if you allowed yourselves to truly imbibe in its staggering profundity, the tentative grasp you hold on your delusions of competence would break, and you would be left with nothing but the knowledge that you have failed in every way imaginable.ReplyDelete
So, have fun. Keep living in the lie you call a life, but know that your self-deception will not continue forever, and that one day, the ground falls out beneath you, you will beg Randall Munroe to forgive you for all the suffering your wretched lies have cause him. But he will only laugh as you prostrate yourselves before him like sinners begging Jesus to save their souls even as they know it is too late. I'm giving you a chance; repent while you still can.

You're experiencing what is commonly known as "taking shit a little too seriously."
Nearly everyone who reads this probably also reads XKCD - it sort of falls into the category of "all publicity is good publicity," because since when has angry ranting ever changed anyone's mind about anything?

It seems like Randy hasn't used the name "Megan" in quite a while. I can't even remember the last time a character was actually referred to as "Megan." Is it possible that he's seen sites like this and has decided to never again use the name "Megan," lest he be seen as a creepy stalker? I realize that he knows about xkcdsucks, but he's also said he doesn't look at it...but does he? I don't know why else he'd stop using the name "Megan." Or maybe it's just my imagination. When is the last time he actually referred to "Megan" in a strip?ReplyDelete

That link is one Buckley put up himself, along with some rapid backpedalling:ReplyDelete
I had no idea buckley was that much of a stupid fuckhead. Here's the deal, timmy: the reason its funny when standup comedians do stereotype humor (in most cases) is because their punchline is more than "ha ha black people steal", it satirizes the stereotypes. For reference look no further than Chris Rock's genius "niggers vs black people" sketch. Furthermore, most of the comedians who perform racial humor are minorities, because as carlin himself put it, "we know richard pryor isn't a racist when he uses that word, cause he's a nigger!" A stereotype joke falls flat when its from a member of the oppressing party. And its a testament to your stupid fuckheadery that I even have to spell this out.ReplyDelete

I did laugh out loud at the votey though. (Maybe the votey is fulfilling the role of punchline in the original comic, hence it being where I laughed? HUMOUR ANALYSIS)

But there is an actual attempt to make a humourous statement there, so I guess give him credit for that.

Abstruse Goose is basically the same thing as this classical German cartoon from the 80s, only less funny, and with less pronounced characters.
I think we should talk about classical German comics in here more often.
And which Ann Apolis is the right one? I'm confused.
@5:35 - That would be me. If you mouseover my name, the blogger profile number that comes up in the URL should end in -64.ReplyDelete
@5:08 - You are a very confused individual.
(DOUBLE FACEPALM AT THE XKCDSUCKS COMMENT BOX, PLEASE!)ReplyDelete
Wow, Abstruse Goose devolved into newspaper comic humor! That's The Lockhorns, only with slighly worse art!
And if he was just going to copy-paste 7 panels, he should as well bother drawing the background on them.
Oh, and xkcd is boring, trite and full of references. As I call it, the "throw as many jokes at your reader as fast as you can until they give up and just laugh" approach to humor. Goodness...
The correct Ann Apolis is me; I end in -01, my question is about having water in my ear, and (most convincingly) my blog Radio Ember is url'd at radioember.blogspot.com rather than aquarianlovetofuck.blogspot.com . I've also had an account since April '09 rather than February '11.ReplyDelete

Title: Children of an Ideal Brain
Why am I writing this, they can't even read. Not really.
A man executes a piece of art, perfectly formed and designed. It is one of many. This is his job but the pay is irrelevant. He wouldn't want to disappoint, if he were able. He is an expert, a genius, a visionary. A thousand words in an ape language, a cheap tongue. Beyond his time. Beyond the end of time.
A million see and revel. They know.They laugh and move on. A waste. Maybe in time.
Five billion do not see, and are forever unfulfiled. Pity is the only word, and this time language does not disappoint.
Some see, and are consumed by how pointless they realise they will always be, as reflected on them by the Most Holy High. They once knew or think they know but now... They know nothing. Nothing at all. It is warped. Males but not men. People but not persons. Living but no lives.
One sees. One disagrees. He knows, he truly does. Raging againt the Heavens with impotent emotion. One posts a concise dissertation on the subject, in poetic terms. A "comment." One weeps to his dead dreams and ideals, stolen by this Devil's Smithy of empty and opposite words. Cynicism lives.
Every first breath I take I spend loathing you. With every second I love Mr Munroe and myself. And life is complete. The systole and diastole of the of the human hate.
Perhaps you serve a purpose. Even barbers, I suppose.

Omitted from publication are comments on the circumstances which led to writing the various articles of the Monist series. In this connection CSP notes, with some horror, the view attributed by the New York Times to William James that practical preference was the basis of pragmatism and considers what James probably meant to say, noting James's definition of "pragmatism" in Baldwin's Dictionary of Psychology and Philosophy. The truth of pragmatism and its scientific proof. CSP reveals that he "had passed through a doubt of pragmatism lasting very nearly twenty years." Discussion of the nature of doubt: the confounding of doubt with disbelief. System of existential graphs comparison of existential graphs with chemical ones existential and entitative graphs. Studies of modality: CSP's early views and subsequent modifications. Among the fragments one finds CSP's disagreement with Cantor on the matter of pseudo-continuity which for CSP raises a question of the ethics of terminology.

Cyberpunk is the combining of science fiction and technology with a future society on the brink of self-destruction. Ernest Hogan takes the concept a step further, blending in his love of the Aztec�s ancient beliefs and civilization to produce very unique and gripping stories. When it comes to science fiction of a different breed, Hogan is definitely sitting in the front row. One reviewer aptly referred to Hogan as a �mad Mexican Hunter S. Thompson.�
�Cortez on Jupiter� gave readers a preview of what was to come from an author not afraid to take risks. �Cortez on Jupiter�s� main character is the leader of the Guerilla Muralists of Los Angeles, and the exponent of the latest form of free-fall art � splatterpainting. Combine this storyline with Aztec mythology and aliens, and readers had in their hands a book filled with artistic expression, suspense, thrills, humor, dystopian science fiction and prose replete with originality and wordplay.
�High Aztech� presents a virus capable of infecting any human mind with forced religion, and renegade cartoonist Zapata running through Tenochtitlan - the erstwhile Mexico City - pursued by the government, the Mafia, street gangs, cults and garbage collectors.
Hogan�s �Smoking Mirror Blues� tells the tale of gamer technology buffs who create an artificial intelligence version of the Aztec trickster god Tezcatlipoca. Only Tezcatlipoca gains awareness and injects his consciousness into tech nerd Beto Orozco to transform the young man to neo-god status in order to conquer the world thru havoc. �Smoking Mirror Blues� is a successful clash of cultures, mythology, rock-n-roll, sex, and deities sure to satisfy many readers� appetites in search of something a little different.
Born in Los Angeles, Hogan now lives in Arizona with his wife, and he works at the library. A cartoonist, illustrator, writer and consultant on pre-Columbian mythology, he can be found on Facebook and on his blog Mondo Ernesto.
Q. What sparked your fascination with the Aztecs?
A. I�m a born-in-East-L.A. Chicano. My mother�s maiden name is Garcia. That makes the Aztecs my ancestors, and part of my heritage. They are also an example of culture is �alien� to those who live in the 21st-century corporate consumer society, while still being human. I plug my imagination into things Aztecan and bizarre things happen that I write down, and turn into stories.
Q. The obvious question: What made you decide to combine the future with the past, and very successfully so?
A. The future comes out of the present � that comes out of the past. If you try to create a future without using elements from the past and present you create something sterile. Also, what makes good fiction is people � humans doing outrageous things � and the past is full of that. The future will be, too.
Q. Art plays a huge role in everything you do. Where do you believe your passion for art comes from?
A. I�m an artist. I�ve always got a sketchbook that I�m doodling around in. Creativity is the way I do things. If I�m not finding ways to make strange constructions out of that I encounter in life, I get bored and depressed. Leave me alone and I start doing something that someone will call art. And I don�t limit myself to fine art � I prefer Ed �Big Daddy� Roth to Andy Warhol, and comic books to graphic novels, I watch surrealistic art films and low-budget exploitations film with equal enjoyment.
Q. You also write short stories, which have appeared in numerous magazines and anthologies. �Obsidian Harvest,� co-written with Rick Cook, was part of a collection nominated for a prestigious Nebula Award. Do you find greater expressive freedom in your short stories or your novels?
A. Here we get complicated. You can write whatever you want. Problems and restrictions come when you try to publish. I write far-out stories, then try to find a market that will publish them. Sometimes this can take decades. Also, the more freedom you get, the less money comes with it. Ben Bova gave me absolute freedom in writing �Cortez on Jupiter� and �High Aztech� � something that doesn�t really happen anymore. In trying to sell novels, I do find myself thinking about what �they� will buy, but now Big Publishing is crashing, and I�m experimenting with self-publishing. The novels I�m working on now are things that wouldn�t have been published a few years ago.
Q. Any parting comments for fans and those who haven�t read your work yet, and, when can we look forward to your next book?
A. Buy my e-books, and review them, if you like them or not. Some of my best quotes come from people describing what they didn�t like about my work. �Cortez on Jupiter� and �Smoking Mirror Blues� are available now. �High Aztech� will be coming out soon. After that, I�m doing a collection of my short stories. On the novel front, there a futuristic bullfighting novel, and a fantasy about the pre-Columbian ball game in which I will ignore all the rules of what people say a proper fantasy novel should be. And then I never know what�s going to trigger a short story.

We do not have measurements to offer on each glass in regards to the thinness of the lip, but all RIEDEL glasses are beautiful thin blown crystal. Our rims are "cut", which allows the wine to flow smoothly onto the tongue vs. being "rolled" which obstructs the smooth flow of the wine which accentuates acidity and harshness.
