A NOVEL Heather Marlene Zadig ABSTRACT Title of Document: THE RAMPARTS SUBLIME: A NOVEL Heather Marlene Zadig Master of Fine Arts 2012 Directed By: Professor Howard Norman Department of English The prevailing concerns throughout this work of fiction are the questions of Who is family? and Where is home? It is a narrative which explores questions of identity in the context of modern American cultural mobility, wherein the boundaries of identity have been variously blurred, blended, and occupied by the forces of modernity and globalization. The narrative seeks to examine the usefulness of such boundaries within individual human relationships and, in particular, explores the potential for the blues as an art form to foster human relationships that are familial in nature, not in spite of its historical context but rather because of it. That the narrator himself is uncomfortably self-conscious of his own narration is representative of the novel’s preoccupation with the problems of white discourse on race and cultural identity and the limits of language in general in attempts to explore and transcend such issues.

When you close your earthly story, Will you join them in their bliss? Will the circle be unbroken By and by, Lord, by and by? Is a better home awaiting In the sky, Lord, in the sky? You remember songs of heaven Which you sang with childish voice. Do you love the hymns they taught you, Or are songs of earth your choice? You can picture happy gath'rings Round the fireside long ago, And you think of tearful partings When they left you here below. One by one their seats were emptied. One by one they went away. Now the family is parted. Will it be complete one day? from “Will the Circle Be Unbroken?”, hymn by Ada R. Habershon, 1907 1 Chapter 1 Grams was dead, and the ghosts of long-dead redwoods were rising up from the forests to welcome her into the afterlife. At least, that’s how it appeared to me as I made the drive up the 101 from SFO to the Lost Coast of California, the region of my birth and boyhood, to make it home for the wake and funeral. Admittedly, I was in a daze from the news and from waking up several hours before dawn to catch the first flight out of D.C. to get there, so my mind was suggestible at best due to the lack of sleep. I never could get any shut-eye on a plane, something too public about it I guess. I’d heard it had been an unusually dry spring out West, which was confirmed by the hillsides pocked with charred patches of forest from the smattering of recent early wildfires throughout the region. Though a brief shower had brought momentary relief overnight, it wasn’t enough to put out all the fires, and now I was greeted on my journey home by the unlikely pairing of the swirling mists typical of mid spring and the seemingly similar and yet fundamentally disparate wisps of smoke undulating among the water vapor, so closely intertwined that they seemed to be in rapt conversation with one another, in a dance together, though they were anathema to each other’s existence. These were the ghastly apparitions which welcomed me home for the first time in over a decade, and they gave me the feeling that I should expect a reckoning when I arrived. What I found as I pulled up to the homestead, which, being a mile away from anybody, was in this case not a euphemism, was G-pa, bent over some old jalopy out by the barn as always, and the pup I had nursed from a bottle after finding it whimpering near its dead mother on the side of a road the last summer I’d been there years ago. Now a feeble old dog, she was white in the face and barking cautiously from the porch at my 2 approach as she would for any stranger. And who could blame the poor creature; I had been away for so long. It had been almost as long that G-pa had had anything to say to me whenever I’d called and talked with Grams about how things were going back home, and how things were going with me out in the world. He’d never gotten over the fact that Mom had moved us to the Central Valley after my father’s untimely

  • PM I Am Kloot 30.11.2012
    FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH Große Elbstr. 277 a · 22767 Hamburg Tel. (040) 853 88 888 · www.fkpscorpio.com PRESSEMITTEILUNG 30.11.2012 I Am Kloot im kommenden März auf Tour Im Januar kommenden Jahres veröffentlichen I Am Kloot ihr mit Spannung erwartetes neues Studioalbum „Let It All In“. Wie schon beim Vorgänger „Sky At Night“, der immerhin für den Mercury Preis nominiert war und den Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik erhalten hat, haben Guy Garvey und Craig Potter von Elbow die Produktion übernommen. Und wie schon bei allen Werken des Trios aus Manchester sticht die Qualität des Songwritings ganz besonders hervor. I Am Kloot ist wahrlich eine der hervorragenden klassischen britischen Bands unserer Zeit, die inzwischen mehr als eine Generation von Musikern geprägt hat. Gitarrist und Sänger John Bramwell, Bassist Peter Jobson und Schlagzeuger Andrew Hargreaves machen einfach, das muss man neidlos anerkennen, nur großartige Musik. Das exorbitante kreative Potential des Texters und Komponisten Bramwell setzen seine Mitspieler kongenial um. Dabei ist es egal, ob I Am Kloot in kleiner Besetzung spielen oder sich ein Orchester ins Studio holen: Stets bleibt es ihr typischer Sound. Das gilt auch für „Let It All In“: Vom bluesigen Opener „Bullets“ über das mystische „These Days Are Mine“ bis zur einfachen Eleganz von „Some Better Day“ strahlt das Werk von innen die tiefe lakonische Leidenschaft aus, die diese Band so sehr charakterisiert. Guy Garvey behauptet ja schon seit der ersten Platte von I Am Kloot (die er übrigens auch schon produziert hat), dass die Jungs vor allem eine so großartige Live-Band seien, dass man im Studio eigentlich nur den Aufnahmeknopf drücken müsse, schon sei die Platte fertig.

  • County Reports First Damage to Sligo Trees by Emerald Ash Borer
    Friends of Sligo Creek Newsleer January 2016 Ellen X. Silverberg photo Contents Damage from Emerald Ash Borer Reported Ed Murtagh Wins White House Honor Anacostia Committee Meets in Sligo Sligo's Insects in Winter Need to Reach Us? County Reports First Damage to Sligo Trees by Emerald Ash Borer Two of Sligo's most common tree species began showing damage from a highly destructive non-native beetle during 2015, according to a media release from Montgomery Parks. The Emerald Ash Borer, a beetle native to East Asia, attacks only ash trees and kills them within five years . Ashes constitute twenty percent of all trees in county parks. Two species -- White Ash and Green Ash -- were found to be "fairly common" in Sligo in the 2003 survey of our native plants. The Emerald Ash Borer arrived in the U.S. from East Asia in 2002, reached Maryland a year later, and appeared in Montgomery County in 2012. Millions of ash trees have died from infestation in the Eastern U.S. in the last ten years. Last year, for the first time, ash trees were found with damage from the beetle in Sligo and Rock Creek Parks, South Germantown Recreational Park, and Rosemary Hills- Lyttonsville Park. "The Emerald Ash Borer is an extremely destructive bug and we are expecting large quantities of standing dead trees in Montgomery Parks," noted Colter Burkes, urban forester with Montgomery Parks. The county's management plan (due out in March) will include continued monitoring, cutting of damaged limbs and trees in public-use areas, and planting other species as replacement trees.

  • Part Two: Area and Site Analysis
    PART TWO: AREA AND SITE ANALYSIS Anacostia Trails Heritage Area Heritage Tourism and the Heritage Area Maryland=s Heritage Preservation and Tourism Areas Program, by recognizing and certifying heritage areas, fosters partnerships between preservation organizations, parks and open space advocates, and local government officials to preserve not only individual historic sites, but their historic and cultural contexts. Successful heritage areas link sites, parks, greenways, and transportation corridors. More important, they encourage collaboration among large and small historical organizations, museums, visitors= centers, historic preservation groups, and others to form a network of interpretation that will support heritage tourism and thus add to a region=s economic development. Heritage tourists, who typically stay longer and spend more per visit than any other category of visitors, are an especially coveted market in today=s economy. This section of this report advances concepts and recommendations for the Anacostia Trails Heritage Area to develop a collaborative, region-wide system of interpretation, reflecting the historical context set forth in the preceding section. Such a system will enable this Heritage Area to capitalize fully on the significant, excellent investments in many special sites that can clearly take greater advantage of the rising trend in heritage tourism, realizing a return on that investment that will benefit not only ATHA visitors, but also its residents. The first portion of this section reviews the recommended interpretive framework, a set of themes encircled by an Aordering concept,@ or primary theme that helps visitors comprehend this historically rich, extensively developed region. In only a few square miles, fully fourteen municipalities, many major federal and state institutions, and multiple major transportation corridors jostle for space.

  • Chapter 2 – Planning Context and Environmental Scan 2.1 Physical
    CHAPTER 2 – PLANNING CONTEXT AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN Prince George’s County is comprised of 487 square miles of land and 19 square miles of water. It is a suburban county immediately east of Washington, DC, with a growing population of over 863,000 people in 27 incorporated municipalities and unincorporated areas (see Map 1. Municipal Boundaries.) The land outside of the Capital Beltway, which held onto remnants of agricultural use into the end of the 20th Century, is being rapidly replaced by residential development, while areas inside the Beltway have been developing at a steady pace throughout the 20th Century. The county has significant natural resources, particularly sand and gravel deposits, tidal wetlands in the critical area, and non-tidal wet- lands. Its land development history, the booming residential scene of the early years of the 21st Century, and land ownership of both federal and county governments will affect future park and recreation facili- ties and land conservation efforts. 2.1 Physical Characteristics The Prince George’s County boundary is mostly defined by water: the Potomac River to the southeast, the Patuxent River along the entire eastern boundary, and Mattawoman Creek to the south. The county lies within the coastal plain. The transition to the Piedmont Plateau begins to occur toward its northern boundary with Montgomery County. Elevations range from sea level on the major rivers to 365 feet in the northern area of the county. Soils in the county range from those found in the Piedmont with soils only a few feet above bedrock to coastal plain soils with hundreds of feet depth to hydric soils associated with floodplains and wetlands (see Map 2.

    “Sparking Your Success” (How to Unlock Your Potential Greatness) by Mark Matteson “The artist must create a spark before he can make a fire and before art is born, the artist must be ready to be consumed by the fire of his own creation.” -Auguste Rodin “At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.” -Albert Schweitzer Table of Contents Introduction Chapter 1 - Potential Chapter 2 - Awareness Chapter 3 - Comfort Zones Chapter 4 - Self-Talk Chapter 5 - Habits Chapter 6 - Attitude Chapter 7 - Goals Chapter 8 - Hour of Power Chapter 9 - Job, Career, Calling (Extra-Mile) Chapter 10 - WINS Chapter 11 - Consistency Chapter 12 - Other-Centered Philosophy Chapter 13 - Helping Others Afterward Introduction You are the only one that truly understands what sparks your own success. For some us, getting cut from a sports team will do it. Others, it’s a well meaning friend or relative or coach that tells us we can’t or shouldn’t do something we really want to do. What motivated you as a teenager will in all likelihood motivate you as an adult. It’s a matter of getting in touch with your inner locus of control. Your inner drive. Your WANT To vs. your HAVE To. For whatever reason, be it nature or nurture, if you tell a “Matteson” we can’t do something we really want to do, it sparks something in us to prove you wrong.
