Unsettling America: An Anthology of Contemporary Multicultural Poetry

Aptly titled, this substantial anthology provides exposure to poets, emerging and established-Louis Simpson, Rita Dove, Luis Rodriguez-who write directly from the immigrant, ethnic and/or religious experience. The collection gives evidence of inequality and discrimination, and offers eyewitness accounts of the gross inconsistencies and bigotry of America. The poems tap into visceral energies, either born of or becoming a vitalizing anger; they bristle with a recognition of failed expectations. Thoughtful and attentive, the mother/daughter editorial team of the Gillans divides the book into sections concerned with "uprooting," "performing," "naming," "negotiating" and, finally and hopefully, "re-envisioning." The most moving poems concern a loss of home and custom, and the compromises struck in order to make life tolerable in a quietly (and not so quietly) intolerant society. Also distressing is work describing the intense desire of some poets to assimilate-efforts later remembered as humiliating. This collection is a must for anyone seeking an inclusive, unwincing catalogue of the American experience. Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc. YA?Featuring well-and lesser-known American poets from a variety of cultural backgrounds, this volume presents fresh poems that tell the "American stories" of writers such as Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Gary Soto, Louise Erdrich, Ethelbert Miller, and Lucille Clifton. Selections are grouped by broad themes: "Uprooting," "Performing," "Naming," "Negotiating," and "Re-Envisioning." The editors deliberately selected works that "...did not create a pluralistic play of voices, or...make a simplistic call for diversity, but...that directly address the instability of American identity and confront the prevalence of cultural conflict and exchange within the United States." It is this focus and the conscious effort to avoid producing yet another supermarket survey of multicultural literature that make the book such a find. Brief biographical information is included.?Gretchen Portwood, W.T. Woodson High School, Fairfax, VACopyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc. "Land where my fathers died" begins a poem by Gregory Djanikian in this vibrant, much-needed collection in which the poets all struggle to retell their past, or, as Nellie Wong phrases it, to wonder, "Where is my country/where does it lie?" The last 15 years have seen a flowering of multicultural voices in American poetry, and readers will recognize many of the poets here, including Wong, Joy Harjo, Jimmy Santiago Baca, Lucille Clifton, and Mary Tallmountain. In five sections-uprooting, performing, naming, negotiating, and re-envisioning-the poets speak of their experiences in America: "a place/ where your skin/is your passport," as Yusef Komunyakaa observes. The poets here speak from the heart not only of the injustices they have suffered but also of their visions of a new land: "where all colors blend into one," says Judith Ortiz Cofer, "we will build our cities of light." Not all these poems are finely crafted, but all express voices too long silent. For all collections.Doris Lynch, Monroe Cty. P.L., Bloomington, Ind.Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc. Imagine, if you will, a city bus in, say, Uptown in Chicago or any place else where a dozen American cultures collide. This anthology is like that. Singaporean feminist poet Shirley Geok-lin Lim is sitting next to Creek Indian Joy Harjo. Hawaiian Garrett Hongo is chatting with street-sounding David Hernandez. Enid Dame is talking about her radical Jewish family to African American Rita Dove. What could be cacophony turns instead into a kind of dissonant love song under the visionary editing of the mother-daughter Gillan team. The voices are vernacular and immediate, the net has been cast wide, and the organization is fine-tuned. An excellent anthology for the most general collections.

December Sky

Her dusky alto vocal range is a true treat. -- BILLBOARD MAGAZINEMae Robertson is one of the finest interpreters I have heard in years. -- Rich Warren, WFMT-FM Chicago, ILMae Robertson is one of the finest interpreters Ive heard in years. -- Rich Warren, The Midnight Special, WFMT, Chicago, ILMellifluous voice - warm alto - comforts like a wrap of softest alpaca and exudes an underlying joy. -- ChritsmasReviews.comShe has an understated yet memorable way with a lyric that renders anything she performs worth investigating. -- BILLBOARD MAGAZINEYou can feel the cozy comfort of a traditional snowy Christmas morning in every note. --SINGER MAGAZINE, December, 2004 Not so long ago, Mae Robertson was the owner of three children's stores in the Northeast. When her friend, Don Jackson, overheard her singing the traditional folk song, "The Water is Wide," as a lullaby to her baby, he convinced her to record a suite of traditional folk songs and well-known pop songs as lullabies. In total, three award-winning albums, All Through The Night, The Sun Upon the Lake Is Low and Sweet Dreams of Home, won Mae stunning reviews ("Her vocals are pure, spun gold," raved the Los Angeles Times), and a growing audience. The albums were all named Notable Recordings by The American Library Association, and they all won awards from Parents' Choice, North American Parenting Publications and The Oppenheim Toy Portfolio. Growing up in Alabama, Mae was first influenced by the folk collections of her older brothers and sister. Later, she gravitated toward singer-songwriters because, like traditional folk music, their songs were lyric-driven. "I have always been drawn to the poetry and the story and it is always what attracts me first to a song." In 2000, change was in the air as the family moved back to Alabama after 20 years in the New York Metropolitan area. And just before the move, Mae recorded Stone by Stone, her first ever album targeting a grown up audience. "I enjoyed writing the songs for the project, but most of all I enjoyed picking the songs I would cover. There are so many wonderful songs out there and it was hard to just pick a few for the album." So, it was no surprise when Mae decided to do an album of songs written by other people as her next project. "I am just a song collector by nature. I listen to music all the time and I always have a list going of the ones I want to learn. I'm extremely picky, but when I find one I think is great, I am just thrilled." Song selection for the new album began in the winter of 2001. "After all we went through as a country that fall, I realized sometime towards the end of September that I had not been singing or even listening to music for weeks. As I allowed myself to return to something I loved so much, I instinctively began to sing songs that I felt would help me grieve or help me heal." These songs became the center piece of her new album, Smile, recorded in Nashville in the spring and summer of 2002. In 2004, Mae reached another milestone with December Sky. Recorded in Nashville, seasonal songs of winter and Christmas in a melange of styles -- traditional, spiritual and contemporary -- are presented in acoustic settings, revealing the simple beauties within. "The theme of the record is that hope that can be found even in the coldest winter or on darkest night." Whether she's singing sweet lullabies for children or creating sophisticated words for adults, Mae Robertson's personal vision is the mortar in her artistry. "I want listeners to get lost in the songs with me. Through the beauty of the melodies and the truth in the lyrics I want them to take the journey of each song with me." A collection of holiday and winter songs which focuses on the hope that can always be found even in the cold of winter or the dark of night. Some of the songs are familiar and some will be new to the listener, but each one is lovingly presented in an acoustic format so that the simple beauty of the words and music can shine through.

Smarthome Insteon Switchlinc V2 Relay

# Same great features as the SwitchLinc 2-Way Relay (#23883w), now with INSTEON compatibility for outstanding performance # 80% quieter than other relay switches # Remote control capability brings added convenience, money savings and resale value to your home # 2-Way communication ensures reliability # X10 ready ? works with legacy X10 products Upgrade the lighting in your home with the world's only dual-band network technology: INSTEON. Not only is INSTEON a powerful, home-control networking technology, it will enhance the comfort, safety, convenience and value of your home. The dual-band network quickly and reliably transmits INSTEON messages throughout the home both wirelessly (using the SignaLinc RFs) and through the home's existing wiring. What is INSTEON? SwitchLinc V2 Relay ? The Ultimate Remote Control Switch Make your home the envy of your friends and neighbors with the sophistication and elegance of the SwitchLinc Relay ? the ultimate INSTEON-compatible switch. SwitchLinc switches fill your entire home with personalized mood lighting for any occasion. Specifications Built with a Quieter Relay Because the SwitchLinc Relay is built with a much quieter relay, it has a click that's more than 80% quieter than traditional relay switches. This allows you to remotely control lights or other non-dimmable devices without waking up the baby, annoying other family members, or sending your cat fleeing across the room. The click of the internal relay is barely noticeable, and not much louder than the click of the front paddle. Generates Less Heat Unlike the triac-based switches, SwitchLinc Relay uses a hard-contact relay to control the load. The other switches use a semiconductor (called a triac) that absorbs about two volts of power and dissipated the heat it through the front of the switch. By using a relay, the switch runs cooler and full voltage get to the load. Color: White (Ivory paddle included)

Kenneth Cole REACTION Men's Fair Market Slip-on, Black, 11 M

Ingenuity goes a long way toward compensating for lack of capital, an axiom Kenneth Cole proved back in the early 1980s when he launched his fledgling shoe store out of a borrowed truck parked along a fashionable Midtown Manhattan street. Gaining a parking permit required a clever ruse. Cole added the word "Productions" to his company name, reinvented himself as a film director, hired models as "actors," and got a license to shoot a film appropriately titled The Birth of a Shoe Store. Kenneth Cole Productions, Inc. (the tongue-in-cheek name remains to this day) may not have produced much actual film that day, but it did sell an impressive number of shoes. Today, Kenneth Cole Reaction blends fabulous fashion with functionality, creating urban-inspired footwear for work or play.

ldquo;Diane Negra has built a dynamic cultural studies anthology from the sophisticated research of a new generation of scholars. lsquo;Irishness,rsquo; still an attractive or scandalous stereotype, is here understood through reflection on nation, ethnicity, class, and gendermdash;reflection that is in turn animated by the obtuseness of lsquo;Irishnessrsquo; in its newly global situation. Expressing a variety of views through vivid examples, this anthology becomes itself exemplary.rdquo;mdash;Dudley Andrew, Yale UniversityThe essays in this collection are to Irish studies what B. B. King and the Chicago Blues are to the Delta Blues: they draw on an existing body of work, virtuosically extend it, and at the same time electrify it, creating new forms in the process. In this respect, this collection is the book that many in Irish studies have been waiting for.Margot Backus, author of The Gothic Family Romance: Heterosexuality, Child Sacrifice, and the Anglo-Irish Colonial OrderThis sparkling, sophisticated, and original collection analyzes such diverse topics as the genealogical quest for Irish roots, Celtic white supremacists, and postSeptember 11 identity politics.

The Inspector Lynley Mysteries - Set 3 (2010)

The Inspector Lynley Mysteries: Set 3 begins where set 2 left off, with Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers (Sharon Small) enduring a demotion following her controversial (though logical) handling of the climactic crisis at the end of "Deception on His Mind." But Havers is soon brought back into action as a sleuth in the first story here, "In Pursuit of the Proper Sinner," when her mentor, Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley (Nathaniel Parker), requests her participation in solving a double murder. One of the victims is the daughter of a retired Superintendent in Vice, who believes the killer is probably someone he once put away in jail. But the aristocratic Lynley and working-class Havers, an unusual team created in a series of novels by Elizabeth George, find the truth is more complicated than that as their investigation leads into a seamy world. Long past their class differences and early conflicts--most of which were over differing perceptions and levels of experience with police business--Havers and Lynley increasingly cling to their relationship as events in their individual lives get more complex. This is especially true of Lynley, whose marriage suffers as he struggles to find a balance between work and home. Indeed, work only gets more complicated in "A Traitor to Memory," which concerns the murder of a woman who (a) disappeared from her family years before following the death of her daughter and (b) appears to have been on her way to see a man who claims never to have known her. "A Cry for Justice" sees Havers regaining esteem and ground in the homicide division after she determines that a woman thought to have committed suicide might have, in fact, been murdered. Finally, loyalties are tested in "If Wishes Were Horses," when a forensic psychologist--the former mentor of Lynley's wife--is killed by a car bomb. Havers and Lynley's investigation finds evidence that the latter's pregnant spouse might have been involved with the dead man at one time. As the chips fall, tragedy strikes Lynley's already unhappy marriage, followed by another terrible crisis that befalls the other important woman in his life, Havers. --Tom Keogh Lynley and Havers are about to face their ultimate tests. Nathaniel Parker (Far from the Madding Crowd) and Sharon Small (About A Boy) return as the New Scotland Yard team of Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley and Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers in four riveting murder mysteries that share some striking--and disturbing--parallels to their own lives. Having weathered the early storms of their partnership, the high-brow Inspector and the emphatically working-class Sergeant face new challenges--including questions about Havers' future and Lynley's loyalty. While solving murders remains the partners' focus, Lynley finds it hard to find the proper balance between work and marriage to his wife, Helen, while Havers struggles to bounce back from her demotion and to find her proper path in life. While Lynley and Havers unravel the heinous and suspenseful mysteries based on Elizabeth George's best-selling whodunits, they are also grappling with a mounting series of challenges and twists in their personal lives in a season that culminates with a true cliffhanger. In Pursuit of the Proper Sinner The daughter of a retired detective and her companion are murdered in the bucolic countryside of northern England, leading Lynley and Havers to countless suspects--and more victims. A Traitor to Memory When Eugenie Martin falls victim to foul play, her complicated and tragic past provides Lynley and Havers with an obvious suspect--and a case that doesn't quite add up. A Cry for Justice Morag McNicholl appeared to live a life of quiet respectability, but her death reveals a darker existence. As Lynley focuses on her mysterious past and the death toll mounts, Havers follows her hunches by going undercover. If Wishes Were Horses There's no shortage of suspects in the murder of noted criminal profiler Dermot Finnegan. But when the case hits too close to home, Lynley takes extraordinary measures to bring the murderer to justice.

Ernest Hemingway Audio Collection CD

Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) was one of the expatriate writers of Paris along with F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gettrude Stein, and others. He fought in the Spanish Civil War and wrote A Farewell to Arms and other stories on war and its unseen costs, including For Whom the Bell Tolls. Other titles by Hemingway include A Moveable Feast and The Sun Also Rises. Charlton Heston reads THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA and THE SNOWS OF KILIMANJARO on three of the four CDs in this attractive package; both readings are captivating. THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA, which won a Grammy in 1977, particularly merits acclaim. Heston's deep, melodious voice personifies old Santiago as movingly as Spencer Tracy did in the film rendition of the same role. In SNOWS, Heston sensitively reveals the nature of the dying man--his anger, hostilities, sorrows, and compassions. Readings by the author himself, recorded on primitive equipment between 1948 and 1961, include his Nobel Award acceptance speech, his "Second Poem to Mary," and four other brief selections. They are interesting only because we have so little documentation of Hemingway's voice, which turns outs to be squeaky and high-pitched. The famously macho man and great writer sounds much better in Charlton Heston's voice. R.E.K. AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine-- Copyright AudioFile, Portland, Maine

Love by the Pound

Canadian author Judy Bagshaw is a woman with a mission and a unique vision. She has lived all of her life as a plus-size person in a thin-obsessed world. As a full time elementary school teacher for more than two decades, she has personally witnessed the effect this thin obsession has had on many of her young, impressionable students. She has also recognized the need for people of size to see themselves represented in the media as more than the butt of jokes, the villain, or the jolly sidekick. To this end, Judy's romance short stories and novels often feature plus-sized central characters living rich, envolved lives just as she has.

A Good Fight

"After a disaster," writes Sarah Brady, "you shouldn't try to go back and live exactly the way you did before." Brady has weathered the crippling of her husband by attempted Reagan assassin John Hinckley, the gun-control battle against the National Rifle Association, scorn heaped on her by pro-gun conservative pundits, raising a son with learning disabilities, and recurrent cancer. These hardships have taught her abundant lessons in how to conduct a political campaign and reckon with shortcomings and doubts, lessons she imparts throughout this highly readable memoir. Those hardships have only steeled Brady's resolve both to win her battles and enjoy her time in the sun--a good fight indeed. --Gregory McNamee Readers get an intimate look at the events, both personal and professional, that shaped Brady's political career and the direction of U.S. gun legislation in this memoir of the lobbying life. She begins her story on March 30, 1981, when her husband, White House Press Secretary James Brady, was shot in an assassination attempt on President Reagan. His injury and recuperation, filled with close calls and setbacks, takes her on a journey that includes 15 years at the lobbying group Handgun Control, first as a volunteer, then as a board member and finally as its chair until 1996. Brady gives a detailed, suspenseful account of the struggle to pass the Brady bill, a handgun control law finally signed in 1993. Readers will take special interest in her recollections of high-profile politicians. Though she doesn't sling mud, Brady openly expresses her frustration with those who hindered the bill. A lifelong Republican (and an admirer of Reagan), Brady became disillusioned when Bush the elder effectively blocked passage of the bill, and she endorsed Clinton in 1992. Writing in unpretentious prose, she leads the reader from one fight to the next without stopping to feel sorry for herself even in the midst of husband's disability and her own current battle with lung cancer. The book will likely appeal to political enthusiasts and ardent gun-control supporters, and, though Brady is neither as iconoclastic nor as captivating a writer as Katharine Graham, fans of Graham's Personal History may enjoy this story of a determined woman in a male-dominated Washington. 8 pages b photos not seen by PW. Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information, Inc. The leader of Handgun Control Inc. for several years and wife of Reagan Press Secretary James Brady, Brady chronicles her 20 years of coping with the shooting of her husband and his long rehabilitation, her entry into and extensive involvement with gun control efforts and the Brady Bill, her son's ADD, and her lung cancer. She includes interesting details on the legislative process and on her dealings with major political players on the issue of gun control, but this is not primarily a book about the politics of gun legislation. It is more about her inspiring determination and courage as she carries on through numerous serious setbacks. Brady also describes her political shift away from the Republican Party. Written with former Newsweek and U.S. News & World Report editor McLoughlin, this is her first book. While it may contain too many details about people the Bradys have known along the way, it is an engrossing story of a challenging life. Recommended for general readers at every public library. Mary Jane Brustman, SUNY at Albany Libs. Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information, Inc. Advocacy for gun control after her husband, Jim Brady, was shot by the would-be assassin targeting President Reagan, and her own personal fight with lung cancer are the prominent good fights referred to in the title of Sarah Brady's memoir. She met Jim Brady while working in Washington, D.C., for the Republican Party. Jim was eventually named as Reagan's press secretary, heightening the couple's social and political profiles, and leading to the fateful day when he was shot. Their politics eventually changed to opposition to the Republican stance on gun control. Sarah Brady names names-- who helped, who didn't, who switched sides, and who sat on the fence--in her David-and-Goliath struggle against the powerful lobby for the National Rifle Association. Her memoir also offers an inspiring story of coping with personal challenges, as Sarah recounts how the shooting affected her family life; her father's death from lung cancer; and her current struggle with lung cancer after a lifetime of heavy smoking. Vanessa BushCopyright American Library Association. All rights reserved "Never feeling sorry for herself, Brady writes with humor, perceptiveness and modest prose....a quiet, dramatic triumph." -- Rocky Mountain News, May 3, 2002"Not primarily a book about the politics of gun legislation. It is more about her inspiring determination and courage." -- Library Journal, May 1, 2002."offers an inspiring story of coping with personal challenges." -- Booklist, May 1, 2002 My ambition, growing up, was to be June Cleaver. I wanted to be a wife and mother, to have a happy, peaceful home filled with the laughter of family and friends, to watch my children grow up surrounded by the same warmth and security I knew as a child. It was not to be. In January 1980, President Ronald Reagan appointed my husband, Jim Brady, as his White House press secretary. And on March 31 of that year, a would-be assassin named John Hinckley fired six shots at the President, severely wounding him and taking down my husband, as well. One of Hinckleys bullets tore through Jims brain, causing devastating damage that changed our lives forever. This is the story of what happened to Jim, to me and to our son Scott, who was just two when Jim was shot. Its a story of great terror, pain and dislocation, but also of triumph, love and transformation. Above all, its a story about how you cannot know what life will bring. Three years after Jim was shot, we were out with friends one day when Scott found what he thought was a toy gun. It turned out to be quite real, a cheap little pistol much like the one that had wounded Jim. In utter fury, I called the National Rifle Association, which was lobbying against all gun control laws. I said, You dont know me, but my name is Sarah Brady, and Im going to make it my lifes ambition to put you out of business. For more than a decade, I worked as hard as I could on behalf of sensible gun laws, laws that would keep guns out of the hands of those who should never have themchildren, criminals, the mentally deranged. Jim and I fought for what became known as the Brady Law, and also a ban on assault-style weapons. Along the way, we made many enemies and a multitude of friends. Finally, we semi-retired to let others continue the battle. Now I am facing another fightthis time, for my life. I have lung cancer, which has so far resisted all treatment. I love our life nowpeaceful and happy at last. I want to see Scott achieve his goals. I want grandchildren. I have no intention of giving up. As my friends in the National Rifle Association will attest, I love a good fight. President Bill Clinton: I love Sarah Brady -- she's tough, smart, funny, full of love and without self-pity. Her "good fight" is worth reading about. Even her NRA adversaries could learn something from her humanity and humor. Coretta Scott King: Sarah Brady's inspiring and poignant memoir tells the story of how one extraordinary American woman and her courageous husband, Jim Brady, turned their personal tragedy into a powerful legacy that has saved thousands of lives and prevented much human suffering. 'A Good Fight' is not only a journey of personal transformation and hope, but also a guide for confronting overwhelming personal and political adversity with undaunted determination and grace. I recommend it highly. Richard North Patterson: The bracing, candid and compulsively readable account of a remarkable life, all the more moving because of Sarah Brady's utter lack of self-concern. It is a joy to follow her fascinating journey to become that rare American whose life's work--undertaken in great adversity--continues to save lives. Sarah Brady lives outside of Washington, D.C. Merrill McLoughlin is a former writer and editor for Newsweek and former co-editor of U.S. News & World Report. She lives in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Sarah Brady reads the introduction of this moving memoir of her life with Jim Brady, engaging the listener's attention immediately. Never self-pitying, almost always upbeat and can-do, Sarah Brady is an inspiration. She capably sets the stage for the rest of her story, ably read by Laura Hicks. Part biography, part insiders' view of Washington, and part lesson in the U.S. legislative process, this book tells the story of her husband's injury during the assassination attempt on President Reagan in 1981 and the couple's transformation into strong advocates for gun control. We learn about Jim Brady's struggle with the aftereffects of his injury, her son's learning disability, and her current fight against lung cancer. A testimony to the power of the human spirit, this is often poignant, sometimes painful, sometimes funny, and always moving. J.D.P.

Coretta Scott King: Sarah Brady's inspiring and poignant memoir tells the story of how one extraordinary American woman and her courageous husband, Jim Brady, turned their personal tragedy into a powerful legacy that has saved thousands of lives and prevented much human suffering. 'A Good Fight' is not only a journey of personal transformation and hope, but also a guide for confronting overwhelming personal and political adversity with undaunted determination and grace. I recommend it highly. Richard North Patterson: The bracing, candid and compulsively readable account of a remarkable life, all the more moving because of Sarah Brady's utter lack of self-concern. It is a joy to follow her fascinating journey to become that rare American whose life's work--undertaken in great adversity--continues to save lives. Sarah Brady lives outside of Washington, D.C. Merrill McLoughlin is a former writer and editor for Newsweek and former co-editor of U.S. News & World Report. She lives in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Sarah Brady reads the introduction of this moving memoir of her life with Jim Brady, engaging the listener's attention immediately. Never self-pitying, almost always upbeat and can-do, Sarah Brady is an inspiration. She capably sets the stage for the rest of her story, ably read by Laura Hicks. Part biography, part insiders' view of Washington, and part lesson in the U.S. legislative process, this book tells the story of her husband's injury during the assassination attempt on President Reagan in 1981 and the couple's transformation into strong advocates for gun control. We learn about Jim Brady's struggle with the aftereffects of his injury, her son's learning disability, and her current fight against lung cancer. A testimony to the power of the human spirit, this is often poignant, sometimes painful, sometimes funny, and always moving. J.D.P.

Below the Branches

Of all the lonely singer-songwriters making late night albums in their bedrooms, San Francisco's Kelley Stoltz does the best job convincing you that he built a time machine on the side and brought back odd members of the Beach Boys, Wings and Pink Floyd to help him out with his. On his third release, the follow-up to 2001's beloved Antique Glow, it sounds like he has crammed a horn section next to his nightstand and strings in the closet. Songs like "Wave Goodbye" and "Memory Collector" float on barreling piano melodies and comfortably worn-in grooves. Stoltz's voice, meanwhile, is soft and unobtrusive, coming into view only when a track needs that knockout punch--like halfway through the psychedelic "Summer's Easy Feeling." Below The Branches is the kind of album that makes you keep reaching for the CD cover with a magnifying glass: "Does that really say 2006, because it feels more like 1976?" I mean, who these days, sings things like, "I remember your childhood hair, floating wild at the county fair"? Well, okay, except the guy from Nickelback. --Aidin Vaziri San Francisco home-recording multi-instrumentalist Stoltz promoted and distributed his last album, ("2001's "Antique Glow") himself. It garnered considerable attention and praise, such as being ranked #24 in MOJO's "40 Best Albums Of 2004", which was described as "a time capsule only recently discovered...a jamboree grab-bag of delights filled with everything from psychedelic folk and cosmic troubadour pop to garage rock and lysergic R of the year's major finds." "Below The Branches" picks up where the last album left off, combining psych rock, folk, blues, and pop in its thirteen tracks, and exploring new, piano-driven directions as well. Improvisational pop, alchemically blending influences with results that are both old and new.

PTFE Flat Washer, ANSI, #1, 0.084" ID, 0.219" OD, 0.025" Thick (Pack of 10)

Standard flat washers are an economical choice when your application calls for spacers, shims, or other reinforcements. PTFE material resists both low and high temperatures. Washer meets ANSI dimensional specifications. Color is white. PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) has similar properties to Teflon, including an extremely low coefficient of friction (it doesn't stick to other materials and it resists surface wear). PTFE also exhibits a useful service life from below -100 degrees Fahrenheit, to temperatures of over 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Its resistance to solvents is also excellent throughout a wide range of temperatures. PTFE has a high dielectric strength (600 volts/millimeter), which makes it a good insulator. PTFE is also water resistant, absorbing less than 0.01% of its weight if exposed to water for a 24-hour period. PTFE has below average tensile strength, at 3000 psi (pounds per square inch). Washers have a variety of purposes. They can distribute the load of a threaded fastener and can also be used as spacers, springs, shims, and locking devices. Washers can be measured in inches or in millimeters, and typically have an outer diameter about twice as large as the inner diameter.

Photo Guide to Fishes of the Maldives

Rudie Kuiter is a well known fish expert with a number of books to his credit. He accepted Atoll Edition's invitation to visit the Maldives and during the course of his visits was able to photograph all the known species of reef fishand more. His work was complemented by the efforts of Toshi Kozawa, Neville Coleman and Jrg Aebi and he was able to utilise the efforts of other expert photographers including: Mustag Hussain, Roger Steene, Charles Anderson, Jack Randall, Jerry Allen, Scott Michael, Helmut Debelius and Herwarth Voigtmann. Between them, 50 new species of fish for the Maldives were recorded. Rudie was determined to compile the book from his own expert point of view and everything, from the selection of photos to the layout and scanning, is the result of Rudie's own efforts. The result, Photo Guide to Fishes of the Maldives' is the first really comprehensive book on reef fishes of the Maldives. The book has been well received and Rudie's informative and easy to read style has struck a cord with both beginner and expert divers. Divers these days are more educated and Rudie's eye for detail and thorough research has made this book an extremely useful reference book for divers. Rudie H. Kuiter, the author & principal photographer, is Dutch born, and has always had a passion for fishes. He started diving in Sydney, Australia in 1964, where he began drawing and photographing the various species, most of which were unknown at the time. As research associate with the Australian Museum and Museum of Victoria, his scientific papers on biology and descriptions of new taxa were published. His articles on seahorses, seadragons and various other subjects of aquatic life have appeared in magazines around the world. He is the author of several identification books on fishes of Australia, Indonesia and other areas of the Indo-west Pacific. He has dived temperate and tropical waters around Australia, as well as in many other parts of the Indo-Pacific as far as Japan and the Maldives. He moved to Melbourne in 1980 where he has continued to work full time on fishes. Pipefishes, Sygnathidae. Large family with over 50 genera and about 220 species worldwide, of which 8 genera and 14 species have been recorded from the Maldives. More can be expected. This highly diverse family is unique in its reproductive methods, in which the female takes the eggs to the sperm. She deposits them into a pouch or onto the underside of the body of the male, where they become embedded into the skin and are fertilized during that process. The male becomes pregnant and incubates the eggs for almost one month, giving birth to young that are either pelagic or ready to settle on the bottom. Much of the reproductive activities are related to big tides that phase with the moon cycle. Diet comprises small crawling or swimming invertebrates such as mysids and larval shrimps. Yellow-banded Pipefish, Corythoichtys flavofasciatus. Commonly occurs on coarse rubble with dead coral pieces or in harbors where pieces or piled. Usually found in pairs in depths of a few meters. Snout short compared to other similar species. Body with diffused dark banded pattern, with yellow scribbled lines in between. Widespread Indo- Pacific, but some variations. Length to 15 cm. Cheeked Pipefish, Corythoichtys insularis. Moderately common in the Maldives, found along outer reef walls on rubble on the bottom of caves or ledges, usually occurs in pairs. Mainly known from depths between 15 and 40m. Snout long and head with large dark spots. Body with evenly spaced pale, thin vertical bands. Western Indian Ocean only. Length to 12 cm. Schultz's Pipefish, Corythoichtys schultzi. Occurs in various habitats from protected shallow sand-rubble flats to rubble patches on reefs and in deeper lagoons to about 20 m depth. Often in areas with sparse algae or soft coral growth. Snout long and usually with several small white spots. Body has a longitudinal lined pattern. Widespread Indo- Pacific. Length to 16 cm. Reef-top Pipefish, Corythoichtys haematopterus. A common shallow water species on rubble and sand patches or along reef edges, usually in depths of a few meters. Often found in pairs and males are sometimes obvious by their swollen pouch, about halfway along their body. Males have a series of dark blotches along the pouch. Widespread Indo-Pacific. Length to 17 cm.

Chef Philippe Enamel 8-Quart Covered Stockpot, Blue

For those who love the look of French enameled cookware but find that their taste outweighs their budget, the Chef Phillippe cookware offers an affordable alternative. While competing products have a steel core, this stockpot features a more cost-efficient aluminum core, which is lighter in weight but still a good conductor of heat. The aluminum is covered by a smooth, colorful porcelain enamel coating that doesn't retain food odors or alter food's flavor and is highly resistant to scratches, moisture, or oil. With a capacity of 8 quarts, this stockpot is a natural for simmering soups, boiling water for pasta, or cooking comforting stews. A glass lid covers the stockpot for entrees that require moist heat cooking and is transparent for monitoring cooking progress. Enameled handles on either side of the stockpot and an enamel knob centered on the lid make are sturdily designed to hold up over time. The stockpot is safe on gas, electric, or ceramic stovetops; in the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit; and for the dishwasher. Cooks should avoid using metal utensils with this cookware as it can damage the enamel. This enamelware is not meant for use in the microwave or on heats above medium-high. --Cristina Vaamonde 8-Piece Covered Stock Pot - Blue

Labour of Love

UB40 are not great innovators, but they are great imitators, and, in a sense, Labour of Love made them the Pat Boone of reggae. Featuring a handsome and clean-cut (by reggae standards) white singer, Ali Campbell, UB40 covered Jamaican standards and turned millions of Americans and Europeans on to another form of black music. Interestingly enough, the album's smash hit, "Red Red Wine," was a cover of a rocksteady cover of a Neil Diamond track. Being that UB40 had the pick of the reggae litter, Labour of Love is chock full of stellar material. From Jimmy Cliff's "Many Rivers to Cross" to the Melodians' "Sweet Sensation" to Johnny Clarke's "Keep On Moving," Labour of Love still serves as an excellent reggae starter kit. --Bill Crandall CD

Why Did Pete Duel Kill Himself

Despite the popularity of the term "graphic novel" in reference to novel-length stories done in comics, comic books are not novels. Which is not to say that comics cannot have the sophistication and depth of a novel, but the best comics have qualities that separate them from straight prose. Mark Kalesniko's Why Did Pete Duel Kill Himself? illustrates this difference. Much more like a tone poem than a novel, this book gracefully explores a delicate issue: a young, misunderstood boy trying to comprehend why a famous actor would kill himself. Whereas a novel might be overly expository, Pete Duel contains page after page of silent scenes of the boy, Alex Kalienka (drawn as an anthropomorphic dog in a world of humans), being humbled, humiliated, and beat up. The chapters are brutally true-to-life, Alex Kalienka is completely engaging, and the resolution--not so much uncertain as it is unspoken--is haunting. Read it and then read it again. You won't find out why Pete Duel killed himself, but you may discover something much more touching.

Knute Rockne and His Fighting Irish [VHS]

(Narrated by Joe Mantegna) KNUTE ROCKNE AND HIS FIGHTING IRISH explores the entanglement of fact and myth that was Knute Rockne. A Lutheran by birth who became the symbol of Catholic pride in the 1920's; a self-created super salesman who was one of the first media stars; a garrulous and funny p.r. man who obligingly recreated his legendary pep talks for the newsreel cameras, Knute Rockne was responsible for transforming the game of football from an obscure and innocent pastime into the colorful amalgam of passion, spectacle, and big business we know today. Along the way he turned the University of Notre Dame into the most famous Catholic school in the country, leading to confrontations with the Ku Klux Klan in 1924 and, in our own time, to multi-million dollar contracts, for football game broadcasts. KNUTE ROCKNE AND HIS FIGHTING IRISH evokes a post-World War I world in which optimism was rampant, a time when consumer culture was born and the media achieved a position of prominence. Offering illuminating insights on both the genesis of the forward pass and the nature of ethnic pride, it chronicles the rise of the sports industry in America, and the life and legend of the man who brought football into the modern world.

Conversing with the Planets: How Science and Myth Invented the Cosmos

Aveni, a professor of astronomy and anthropology at Colgate University, seeks here to integrate--in his view, reintegrate--the rational universe with a more comforting model that takes into account "the interrelationship between matter and spirit." Such ancient astronomically inclined peoples as the Babylonians and the Mayans, he argues, made direct connections between events in the night sky and those on earth, and hence between nature and culture. The Mayans, for example, used their observations of the path of Venus to create a culturally useful myth about planting. While attempting "to dispel some of the misconceptions we have about our ancient predecessors," Aveni the anthropologist ( Empires of Time ) leads Aveni the astronomer ( The Sky in Mayan Literature ) into giving these ancient pre-scientists what seems like more credit than is their due. In the end, his thesis spins out of orbit into deep New Age space; for a more balanced work of comparative astronomy, see E. C. Krupp's Beyond the Blue Horizon . Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition. Aveni, a specialist in the interconnection between anthropology and astronomy who teaches at Colgate University, devotes much of his attention in this book to ancient astrology, especially that of the Mayans and the peoples of the Middle East. He emphasizes that the way they viewed the sky was closely integrated with their religious beliefs and with the structure of their societies. He pleads for an understanding of their astrological systems that takes into account their context and that does not insist upon applying modern criteria for scientific work. Unfortunately, the last few pages of the book contain a superficial pastiche of current antiscientific fads, which does little to support the main thesis of the volume. Recommended with some reservations.- Jack W. Weigel, Univ. of Michigan Lib., Ann ArborCopyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition. How ``the common sense of one era becomes the superstition of another,'' by Aveni, astronomer-anthropologist at Cornell and author of Empires of Time (1989). Aveni wants to understand how our ancestors made scientific discoveries, in order to know how we make them. The key is imagination, which ``makes visible that which before was invisible.'' In the minds of ancient Greece and Maya, he contends, nature was not compartmentalized, and humans and nature were intimately linked. Aveni traces this worldview through the history of naked-eye astronomy, focusing on the planets, especially Venus. He shows how ancient astronomers were first-rate observers, able to trace the strange motions of our sister planet through the skies. But unlike modern astronomers, who describe these motions in mechanical terms, the ancients saw them through the lenses of metaphor and analogy. The movements of Venus were those of a goddess, wanton or chaste according to the season, and intimately allied to cycles of human gestations, rainfall, the lives of bees, and so on. In time, this understanding gave rise to the queen of ancient sciences, astrology. Aveni acknowledges that such thinking seems antiquated today (he calls astrology a ``misfit''), but he does lend a sympathetic ear to the Gaia hypothesis, which perceives the earth as a single living being, analogous to an ancient Greek goddess. Aveni suggests that truth, like beauty, lies in the eye of the beholder, and that modern science may well be yet another mythology. As this troubling conclusion indicates, his is a brilliant effort, bubbling with ideas and showing unusual sympathy for outmoded points of view.

The Capitalist Philosophers: The Geniuses of Modern Business--Their Lives, Times, and Ideas

Perhaps nothing has shaped the American century more than the emergence of management as a discipline in the corporate workplace. In The Capitalist Philosophers, Andrea Gabor explores this phenomenon by profiling the personalities and ideas of the most influential management thinkers of the 20th century. Among those that Gabor writes about are Robert S. McNamara, the former Secretary of Defense and pioneering bean counter at Ford Motor; Peter F. Drucker, the "big idea man" and guru to giants such as General Electric; W.Edwards Deming, the late star of the "quality movement"; and Mary Parker Follett, an early advocate of collaborative management. One of the many threads that hold together Gabor's profiles is the issue of "two seemingly irreconcilable visions of management--the scientific and humanistic." She writes that humanists see the corporation "as a pivotal institution of democracy with complex responsibilities to a host of constituencies, including its employees, its customers, and the community. The other, much more utilitarian, view recognizes one corporate constituent--the shareholder--and a single purpose--profit making." The Capitalist Philosophers is for anyone seeking a sweeping, well-written history of American business. It's also a rich look at the philosophical underpinnings of newer management approaches that are rolling through the workplace today, such as re-engineering and Six Sigma. --Dan Ring Perhaps the most interesting aspect of this sweeping account of management theory in the 20th century is how various business leaders and thinkers--the people Gabor (The Man Who Discovered Quality) calls "capitalist philosophers"--wrestle with the two components of economic success: creating efficient systems, and finding and motivating the people to operate those systems. While Frederick Winslow Taylor, Robert S. McNamara and W. Edwards Deming are revered for their belief in processes, people such as Abraham Maslow, and Fritz Roethlisberger and Elton Mayo, the two men Gabor credits for creating much of the Harvard Business School's reputation, balance their influence. Gabor, who has worked at U.S. News & World Report and Business Week, does a solid job of giving both sides their due and traces many of today's business ideas to these management pioneers. Equally important, she devotes substantial space to people such as Chester Barnard, the president of the old New Jersey Bell Telephone, and Mary Parker Follett, a civic activist, who are frequently forgotten when it comes to compiling lists of people who shaped the way we think about--and do--business today. (Jan.) Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc. All movements have their leaders, visionaries, or theoreticians; capitalism is no exception. Business writer Gabor (The Man Who Discovered Quality) has assembled a list of 13 Americans (12 men and one woman)--from scientific manager Frederick Winslow Taylor to "the big idea" man Peter Drucker--who have offered philosophical direction for business in this country over the past century. What do these people have in common? They all studied the same writings; wrote at least one seminal work; and found their way into the hallways of power as consultants, challenging the status quo along the way. Brilliant, opinionated, mercurial, and often self-promotional, they were outsiders who tended to work outside the corporate mainstream. Some of the profiles are thin biographical sketches that allow only the briefest snapshot of these remarkable people. But overall, this is a useful primer allowing us to look back at those individuals who contributed so much to American business and the contemporary workplace. Recommended for all academic libraries and larger business collections.-Richard S. Drezen, Washington Post News Research Ctr., Washington, DC Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc. The sources of management theorythe history and the progenitors of the peculiar discipline of business forensics (but not actual lessons in management)are detailed in this survey course. It's the human story, such as it is, of the users of ``human resources.'' In these tales from the executive suites and their academic branch offices, Gabor (Einstein's Wife, 1995, etc.) writes of a dozen men and one woman who developed the arcane art of business management. The thumbnail biographies, which describe the personality, stature, and accustomed tone of voice as well as the professional achievements of each subject, depict some pretty abrasive advisers to corporate bigwigs. There is Frederick Taylor, a mean man with a stopwatch. There are misfits Fritz Roethlisberger and Elton Mayo, Robert McNamara's band of bean counters, and arrogant Herb Simon. But there are also clever Mary Follett and her ``Boston marriage,'' moral authority Chester Barnard, humanist outsiders Abraham Maslow and Douglas McGregor, wily old statistician W.E. Deming, and historians Alfred Du Pont Chandler and Alfred Sloan. Bringing up the rear is expansive, ubiquitous Peter Drucker. Gabor's effort to elevate these savants of management theory to the same stature as the heroes of labor naturally fails. Since the depths of the Great Depression, the image of Chaplin in the cogs of Modern Times's machine surpasses all the industrial-psychologizing talk of productivity, teamwork, motivation, and performance. And yet General Motors, General Electric, and all the majestic corporate sovereignties and their potentates remain interesting, and capitalism seems to be doing just fine. Gabors text will be of particular use to B-school scholars, human-resource practitioners, and the gurus of the command-and-control rights of corporate executives for the faces it gives to the theorists of employee empowerment.

Frederick Winslow TaylorThe Father of Scientific ManagementThe year 1899 marked the dawn of the American Century. Across the vast continent, the railroad barons were laying track that would weave distant towns together into the world's largest consumer market. On both coasts, immigrants came ashore, bringing with them a hunger for opportunity and the energy to fuel a young nation's growth. And at Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Frederick Winslow Taylor was at work on what is remembered as his most famous industrial experiment--one that would define both the struggle and terms of industrial productivity for the coming century.The focus of Taylor's experiment was the immigrant laborers themselves--Hungarians and Germans, most of them--whose job it was to haul bars of pig iron weighing ninety-two pounds each onto railroad cars. For two days, Taylor and two deputies observed ten men as they lugged bars of pig iron from the Bethlehem Steel yard to the railcars. Laboring at a backbreaking pace, Taylor's ten Hungarians each loaded an average of seventy-five tons of pig iron per day, nearly six times the previous rate.On the basis of those observations, Taylor established a production quota. To complete a fair day's work, he determined, each worker would have to haul forty-five tons per day--an output level still about three times as high as the average output before Taylor appeared on the scene. To be sure, Taylor offered to pay men who met the quota a higher wage. But to the Bethlehem laborers, Taylor was simply asking too much. In the ensuing weeks it became clear that some of the men were physically incapable of meeting the quota. Others simply refused to try. Either way, the Bethlehem workers lost their jobs by the dozen. By some accounts, Taylor was so deeply hated by the men that he had to walk home under armed guard for fear of an attack on his life. Years later, Taylor, referring to his unhappy relationships with his workers, said, It's a horrid life for any man to live, not being able to look any workman in the face without seeing hostility.Into this tinderbox stepped Schmidt, a German immigrant of sluggish intelligence but possessing the power and stamina of a forklift truck. Schmidt, according to Taylor, had just the ox-like mentality needed to do the brutish physical labor that Taylor demanded of his workers. Uncomplaining and apparently indefatigable, Schmidt met Taylor's quota, happy to collect a few cents of extra pay at the end of each day.The story of Schmidt would become the defining allegory of scientific management, even though Taylor scholars point out that the story is misleading in almost every respect. The name Schmidt itself was a pseudonym, and most of the character traits imputed to the fictional Schmidt were invented by Taylor for dramatic effect. Moreover, according to Daniel Nelson, a leading Taylor scholar, the story was inaccurate in its description of the nature of Taylor's contributions and the character of scientific management. For one thing, the Schmidt story failed to convey the power of Taylor's thinking: his rigorous analysis of processes and his maniacal efforts to systematize work, his pioneering studies of manufacturing processes, his penchant for invention, and his very real contributions to the science of steel fabrication.The Schmidt story did, however, capture two important aspects of Taylorism: First, it conveyed the essence of Taylor's combative personality, including both his considerable class prejudices and his autocratic management style. Second, it revealed his utter inability to understand human nature, a shortcoming that became embedded in his ideas and carried into twentieth-century management practice. Yet for his time, Taylor was every bit as much of a maverick as Bill Gates and Thomas J. Watson. At a time when the work practices of individual laborers were more art than science, he raised fundamental questions about work processes and control. Achieving high productivity, he realized, would require standardizing tools and production techniques and imposing a level of control over labor that had never been attempted before.Although he is best known for his attempts to make labor more productive, his work on tool steel, which revolutionized the use and fabrication of steel, were in many respects more successful. With the birth of large-scale manufacturing at the beginning of the century, his work on tool steel was every bit as important as the development of user-friendly software would be to the information age at the end of the twentieth century. Because his innovations with tool steel made it possible to dramatically speed up production, they helped to create the manufacturing conditions that demanded greater precision and control over labor. And it was his work on tool steel that won him legitimacy in the factory and explained why manufacturers backed his divisive attempts to increase labor productivity and overlooked his eccentric and difficult personality. If Taylor preferred to see high-speed steel as a footnote to the larger cause he championed, out in the real world the influence often went the other way, writes Robert Kanigel, Taylor's biographer. High-speed steel provided the opening into which the earth-moving wedge of the Taylor system could be slipped.Taylor's life and Weltanschauung (of which the Schmidt story was a representative theme) were, in fact, emblematic of the rationalist spirit of the turn of the century and proved pivotal to defining modern industry as we know it today. Taylor's greatest contribution was in recognizing that scientific method was key to the success of industrialization, especially in running the new enterprises that were of a scale and scope heretofore unimaginable--factories so large they used small railroads to transport men around them, factories peopled by thousands of workers operating enormous, power-driven machines. The new manufacturing behemoths could not be managed with the casual methods and supervision of the relatively small plants of the so-called first factory period.Taylor's effort to develop a science of management had a profound impact on American industry. Decades later, the key ideas and trends in management have sped along the tracks that Taylor laid. Henry Ford's assembly line was a logical extension of Taylor's efforts to break up and speed up individual production tasks. The detailed measurement of processes and systems of Robert McNamara's Whiz Kids, at both Ford and the Pentagon, represented a sophisticated, high-technology spin on scientific management. Similarly, the decades-long search for the Holy Grail of employee productivity--and the quest for the perfect incentive pay formula--can be traced back to Taylor's attempt to develop the first scientifically based formula for determining a labor rate that would produce the greatest output. Most recently, the reengineering craze of the 1980s, in which so-called turnaround experts gutted company payrolls in an employee-be-damned frenzy, echoed the excesses of Taylorism.Indeed, Taylor was perfectly at home with the technology of industrialization and its logistical challenges. Where he was often completely out of his element was in his relations with people, especially those outside his class and immediate social circle. Thus, his most troublesome legacy involved his solutions to the labor problem, which for a long time threatened to swamp the advances made by industrialization.For the enterprising and the fortunate, the turn of the century represented a world of opportunity. But for the vast majority, the workplace was filled with peril. In Taylor's day, the average worker possessed little more than his capacity to work and his tools. Yet setting foot into a factory was fraught with risks that could end his livelihood any day. In heat-treating plants, such as steel foundries, the rate of serious and fatal injuries was well over 1 percent of the workforce each year. On the railroads, it was higher. Those who escaped with their lives intact worked in brick mausoleums with little natural light or ventilation and breathed the smoke and foul odors of hundreds of candles and kerosene lanterns. Toilets and water fountains were a rarity.For their trouble, most industrial workers were paid barely enough to survive while they were working. Few laborers owned their own homes. And there was no safety net for those who were injured or those who were laid off during inevitable slowdowns. (While a few craft unions flourished in trades such as printing, mass production reduced the dependence of U.S. firms on skilled labor.)Such conditions gave rise to the Socialist Party in 1901 and to the American labor movement. Although many European businessmen saw unions as an antidote to labor unrest, in the United States the mantra of individualism and free enterprise made unions anathema to most American companies. In fact, U.S. industrialists sometimes met the threat of labor unions with guns. And shoot-outs between factory owners and union organizers became another frequent cause of death, injury, and unemployment.Like many of his peers, Taylor was an ardent opponent of unions. He understood, however, that workers at the turn of the century were not being paid fairly and that companies would have to pay higher wages to improve productivity. The fundamental principle upon which industry seems now to be run in this country, he wrote, is that the employer shall pay just as low wages as he can and that the workman shall retaliate by doing just as little work as he can. Industry is thus a warfare, in which both sides, instead of giving out the best that is in them, seem determined to give out the worst.Taylor sensed the destructive force of labor-management antagonism, and sought to bring peace to the industrial battlefield. However, while he walked among the workers, his vantage point was wholly that of a Philadelphia Brahmin. ...

And at Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Frederick Winslow Taylor was at work on what is remembered as his most famous industrial experiment--one that would define both the struggle and terms of industrial productivity for the coming century.The focus of Taylor's experiment was the immigrant laborers themselves--Hungarians and Germans, most of them--whose job it was to haul bars of pig iron weighing ninety-two pounds each onto railroad cars. For two days, Taylor and two deputies observed ten men as they lugged bars of pig iron from the Bethlehem Steel yard to the railcars. Laboring at a backbreaking pace, Taylor's ten Hungarians each loaded an average of seventy-five tons of pig iron per day, nearly six times the previous rate.On the basis of those observations, Taylor established a production quota. To complete a fair day's work, he determined, each worker would have to haul forty-five tons per day--an output level still about three times as high as the average output before Taylor appeared on the scene. To be sure, Taylor offered to pay men who met the quota a higher wage. But to the Bethlehem laborers, Taylor was simply asking too much. In the ensuing weeks it became clear that some of the men were physically incapable of meeting the quota. Others simply refused to try. Either way, the Bethlehem workers lost their jobs by the dozen. By some accounts, Taylor was so deeply hated by the men that he had to walk home under armed guard for fear of an attack on his life. Years later, Taylor, referring to his unhappy relationships with his workers, said, It's a horrid life for any man to live, not being able to look any workman in the face without seeing hostility.Into this tinderbox stepped Schmidt, a German immigrant of sluggish intelligence but possessing the power and stamina of a forklift truck. Schmidt, according to Taylor, had just the ox-like mentality needed to do the brutish physical labor that Taylor demanded of his workers. Uncomplaining and apparently indefatigable, Schmidt met Taylor's quota, happy to collect a few cents of extra pay at the end of each day.The story of Schmidt would become the defining allegory of scientific management, even though Taylor scholars point out that the story is misleading in almost every respect. The name Schmidt itself was a pseudonym, and most of the character traits imputed to the fictional Schmidt were invented by Taylor for dramatic effect. Moreover, according to Daniel Nelson, a leading Taylor scholar, the story was inaccurate in its description of the nature of Taylor's contributions and the character of scientific management. For one thing, the Schmidt story failed to convey the power of Taylor's thinking: his rigorous analysis of processes and his maniacal efforts to systematize work, his pioneering studies of manufacturing processes, his penchant for invention, and his very real contributions to the science of steel fabrication.The Schmidt story did, however, capture two important aspects of Taylorism: First, it conveyed the essence of Taylor's combative personality, including both his considerable class prejudices and his autocratic management style. Second, it revealed his utter inability to understand human nature, a shortcoming that became embedded in his ideas and carried into twentieth-century management practice. Yet for his time, Taylor was every bit as much of a maverick as Bill Gates and Thomas J. Watson. At a time when the work practices of individual laborers were more art than science, he raised fundamental questions about work processes and control. Achieving high productivity, he realized, would require standardizing tools and production techniques and imposing a level of control over labor that had never been attempted before.Although he is best known for his attempts to make labor more productive, his work on tool steel, which revolutionized the use and fabrication of steel, were in many respects more successful. With the birth of large-scale manufacturing at the beginning of the century, his work on tool steel was every bit as important as the development of user-friendly software would be to the information age at the end of the twentieth century. Because his innovations with tool steel made it possible to dramatically speed up production, they helped to create the manufacturing conditions that demanded greater precision and control over labor. And it was his work on tool steel that won him legitimacy in the factory and explained why manufacturers backed his divisive attempts to increase labor productivity and overlooked his eccentric and difficult personality. If Taylor preferred to see high-speed steel as a footnote to the larger cause he championed, out in the real world the influence often went the other way, writes Robert Kanigel, Taylor's biographer. High-speed steel provided the opening into which the earth-moving wedge of the Taylor system could be slipped.Taylor's life and Weltanschauung (of which the Schmidt story was a representative theme) were, in fact, emblematic of the rationalist spirit of the turn of the century and proved pivotal to defining modern industry as we know it today. Taylor's greatest contribution was in recognizing that scientific method was key to the success of industrialization, especially in running the new enterprises that were of a scale and scope heretofore unimaginable--factories so large they used small railroads to transport men around them, factories peopled by thousands of workers operating enormous, power-driven machines. The new manufacturing behemoths could not be managed with the casual methods and supervision of the relatively small plants of the so-called first factory period.Taylor's effort to develop a science of management had a profound impact on American industry. Decades later, the key ideas and trends in management have sped along the tracks that Taylor laid. Henry Ford's assembly line was a logical extension of Taylor's efforts to break up and speed up individual production tasks. The detailed measurement of processes and systems of Robert McNamara's Whiz Kids, at both Ford and the Pentagon, represented a sophisticated, high-technology spin on scientific management. Similarly, the decades-long search for the Holy Grail of employee productivity--and the quest for the perfect incentive pay formula--can be traced back to Taylor's attempt to develop the first scientifically based formula for determining a labor rate that would produce the greatest output. Most recently, the reengineering craze of the 1980s, in which so-called turnaround experts gutted company payrolls in an employee-be-damned frenzy, echoed the excesses of Taylorism.Indeed, Taylor was perfectly at home with the technology of industrialization and its logistical challenges. Where he was often completely out of his element was in his relations with people, especially those outside his class and immediate social circle. Thus, his most troublesome legacy involved his solutions to the labor problem, which for a long time threatened to swamp the advances made by industrialization.For the enterprising and the fortunate, the turn of the century represented a world of opportunity. But for the vast majority, the workplace was filled with peril. In Taylor's day, the average worker possessed little more than his capacity to work and his tools. Yet setting foot into a factory was fraught with risks that could end his livelihood any day. In heat-treating plants, such as steel foundries, the rate of serious and fatal injuries was well over 1 percent of the workforce each year. On the railroads, it was higher. Those who escaped with their lives intact worked in brick mausoleums with little natural light or ventilation and breathed the smoke and foul odors of hundreds of candles and kerosene lanterns. Toilets and water fountains were a rarity.For their trouble, most industrial workers were paid barely enough to survive while they were working. Few laborers owned their own homes. And there was no safety net for those who were injured or those who were laid off during inevitable slowdowns. (While a few craft unions flourished in trades such as printing, mass production reduced the dependence of U.S. firms on skilled labor.)Such conditions gave rise to the Socialist Party in 1901 and to the American labor movement. Although many European businessmen saw unions as an antidote to labor unrest, in the United States the mantra of individualism and free enterprise made unions anathema to most American companies. In fact, U.S. industrialists sometimes met the threat of labor unions with guns. And shoot-outs between factory owners and union organizers became another frequent cause of death, injury, and unemployment.Like many of his peers, Taylor was an ardent opponent of unions. He understood, however, that workers at the turn of the century were not being paid fairly and that companies would have to pay higher wages to improve productivity. The fundamental principle upon which industry seems now to be run in this country, he wrote, is that the employer shall pay just as low wages as he can and that the workman shall retaliate by doing just as little work as he can. Industry is thus a warfare, in which both sides, instead of giving out the best that is in them, seem determined to give out the worst.Taylor sensed the destructive force of labor-management antagonism, and sought to bring peace to the industrial battlefield. However, while he walked among the workers, his vantage point was wholly that of a Philadelphia Brahmin. ...

The Intuitive Body: Aikido as a Clairsentient Practice

'Discipline is freedom,' writes Wendy Palmer. She encourages readers to cultivate a new rapport with their bodies through stories, Eastern wisdom, and her own experiences. A useful, inspiring book for anyone exploring . . . embodied movement, energetic meditation, and intuitive knowledge.Yoga Journal Wendy Palmer is a 4th degree black belt in aikido. She co-founded and teaches at Aikido of Tamalpais in Mill Valley, in addition to her Conscious Embodiment courses. She also directs the Prison Integrated Health Program, a volunteer project which provides classes in behavioral medicine at the Federal Correctional Institution in Dublin, California, and serves as a model for health promotion programs in prisons. Visit her at www.consciousembodiment.com. From the Introduction: How This Book WorksIn this book I am presenting my approach to rediscovering the part of ourselves that is wise, kind, and capable of clear and powerful embodied action. This way of being arises out of what I call the intuitive state, a spontaneous, intelligent, and creative aspect of ourselves which has not been distorted by our fear and confusion.Intuition usually arises in a nonlinear fashion. In our Western culture, the habit of sequential thought has been given a superior role in respect to the way life is viewed. In my opinion, based on living in this culture and experiencing the result of this priority, it does not work. It has not made us happy. There are millions of years of evolution in our cells. A deep store of wisdom lies within and we must look within to access it. We can use our discomfort and dissatisfaction with life to investigate other possibilities or ways of living. We can invite our intuition, our wise knowing, to govern or lead our choices toward a full embrace of life.The first part of this book deals with becoming grounded in our bodies. Without a firm root system or foundation, intuitive perceptions cannot be focused into embodied action. The second section discusses mental perception and working with the movement and power of our thoughts. This paves the way for us to find how to create a spacious environment from which the wisdom of our intuition can arise, as discussed in the third section. The fourth part addresses the nature of embodied action: irimi, entering fully into life situations, and how to work with our perceptions during the many activities and pressures of life. The practice guides at the end of the book are provided as outlines for quick reference to the techniques described in the previous sections.It is my hope that you will feel free to take these ideas and make them your own by adjusting them to suit your inner needs. The techniques can be used as they are or changed and integrated into your already existing practice. Each of us is a unique individual. When we are sensitive to our own personal experiences, we lend compassion and support to ourselves by being creative. If we can live in a way that promotes a little more kindness and a little less greed, we will have served ourselves and our planet beautifully.

Telling Lies in America (1997)

Telling Lies in America is one of the few films in recent years written by shlockmeister Joe Eszterhas that wasn't specifically about kinky sex, murder, or worse. Semi-autobiographical, the story centers on a Cleveland teen (Brad Renfro) in the early 1960s, a Hungarian immigrant and school outcast who befriends the town's hottest disc jockey (Kevin Bacon), becoming his assistant and go-fer. But he eventually comes to realize that the DJ is unscrupulous and on the take with payola--and his involvement with him may jeopardize his and his father's dream of becoming naturalized citizens. Standard stuff, but a sharp-edged performance by Bacon and a complex one by Renfro rescue it from cliches. --Marshall Fine Joe Eszterhas (formulaic screenwriter of many overpaid projects, most infamously Basic Instinct and Showgirls) somewhat redeems himself with this semi-autobiographical story.
