Quinn I hope everybody had a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and a joyful holiday season. Renee & I just got back from Christmas vacation and are now ready another great year of METCA, TCA & trains. With this being my first column, I thought I would call it “From the Tower”, Since Hoboken Terminal Tower is where I spend most of my time. This is where I will keep you updated with where METCA is headed and what has been happening around the division. For those who are not aware METCA has a yahoo group https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/metca/info ,a Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/METCA-128942873789498/ and a webpage, www.metca.org. for information and photos of events. Here is my contact information if you need to get in touch with me: cell phone: 201-321-6619 & email [email protected]. I would like to congratulate Stu Rankin for a very successful tenure as President of METCA. His leadership, positive energy and all around great guy personality was a great inspiration to me as well as the division. For that he was awarded the Metropolitan Division’s 2015 “Member of the Year” for his untiring work and tremendous leadership as 2015 TCA Convention Chairman and for raising the division to the next higher level of greatness. Many thanks Stu. Also in November we had a METCA table at the Greenbergs toy and train show. The table promotes the value of TCA & METCA by displaying our items and handing out information. Networking with the public gets new people involved in TCA and talking with fellow hobbyists keeps the core of our membership coming back to TCA. Promoting membership in both, TCA & METCA, will be a priority now that the convention is wrapped up. We will have another table at the March show in Edison show on 3/12-13/16. I encourage our members to spend a few hours at the table to promote TCA and our hobby. I hope to see many of you there. I would like to thank the membership who participated in our election process. Our election committee, Rick Tedesco, Father Emil Minkovich, & Bob Taylor stepped up at the last minute and did nice job with the ballot counting. This leads me to congratulating & welcoming Doug Schembs and Rem Hunnewell to the division’s board of directors. They bring many years of TCA experience to our already outstanding board and officer corp. I am looking forward to working with them on upcoming events and projects. One of those projects will be to reestablish a train show in north jersey. Like membership this also will be a priority for the division. Some ideas and visions I have for the upcoming years will require the involvement of the membership. So keep an eye out for postings for these committees that will be set up to accomplish these ideas. Looking forward to talking and working with many of you in the future and in the meantime let’s keep the hobby and METCA growing. 3 SOMERSET COUNTY 4-H TRAINMASTERS Kevin Quinn & Doug Schembs On January 30, 2016 Metca President Kevin Quinn & Director Doug Schembs attended the Somerset County 4-H Trainmasters January winter show at the 4-H center in Bridgewater NJ. When you walk in to the center you see a large display case showing trains and pictures of the club. Then you walk into the main room and you see this incredible 40x60 modular layout. 4 main tracks loop this giant square. There is an 8 track yard in the middle for train storage as well as sidings around the layout. There were at least 4 trains circling the layout at any given time. Each module is decorated or has some sort of scenery on it. The scenery ranges from dinosaurs to a volcano to a small village. As we took in all that was happening on the layout we met one of the adult leaders of the Trainmasters. That’s right adult. Jim Wood one of the adult leaders welcomed us and brought us inside the layout for a closer look at the operation. As he 4 gave us the overview of the layout he introduced us to the club president, Cary, who is 17. The Trainmasters are an organization run by the kids. There are 34 youth members and 12 adult leaders. Cary and Jim explained to us that the club is the forerunner for youth operated model railroad clubs. The Somerset County 4-H Trainmasters is a group of 4th through 12th graders who build and operate their own O gauge modular layout. Their members, as they progress through the various years, construct their own train modules, create landscaping, custom paint train cars, build their structures from kits, design & make buildings from scratch, and participate in special projects as senior members. 5 Cary walked us around the layout explaining the operation and introducing us to other youth members. With every introduction we talked about the layout and the hobby. Doug and I handed out framed pictures of the group that were taken at the 2015 TCA convention. TCA members may be familiar with this club and the layout because of their attendance at the convention. This modular layout is impressive. What is more impressive is the youth members who built it and operate it. Clubs like the 4-H Trainmasters are a positive direction for our hobby. For more information and details on the Trainmasters go to their website: http://www.trainmasters.sc4-h.org 6 LONG ISLAND SOUNDS Larry Laskowski The days are getting longer and warmer as spring approaches. Time for lots of yardwork. Our Long Island Model railroad clubs also have a lot of Yard Work underway. No rakes here but some 0-6-0s and some NW-2s handling the chores. There is still plenty of time to catch an open house or two before the days of summer take us to the shore and involve us in outdoor activities. Here is list of open houses coming up. Make it a point to visit these clubs and let the members know what a great job they are doing on the club layouts.

It argues that women in these texts function as an “absent presence,” by which I mean that they are a convention of the patriarchal gangster landscape and often with little import while at the same time they cultivate resistant strategies from within this backgrounded positioning. Whereas previous scholarly work on gangster texts has identified how women are characterized as stereotypes, this dissertation argues that women characters frequently employ the marginal positions to which they are relegated for empowering effect. This dissertation begins by surveying existing gangster scholarship. There is a preoccupation with male characters in this work, as is the case in most gangster texts themselves.

    “SPEAK ABOUT DESTRUCTION”: REPRESENTING 9/11 IN THE SOPRANOS A Thesis by VITO V. PETRUZZELLI Submitted to the Cratis D. Williams School of Graduate Studies Appalachian State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2015 Department of English “SPEAK ABOUT DESTRUCTION”: REPRESENTING 9/11 IN THE SOPRANOS A Thesis by VITO V. PETRUZZELLI December 2015 APPROVED BY: Craig Fischer, Ph.D. Chairperson, Thesis Committee Germán Campos-Muñoz, Ph.D. Member, Thesis Committee Başak Çandar, Ph.D. Member, Thesis Committee Carl Eby, Ph.D. Chairperson, Department of English Max C. Poole, Ph.D. Dean, Cratis D. Williams School of Graduate Studies Copyright by Vito V. Petruzzelli 2015 All Rights Reserved Abstract “SPEAK ABOUT DESTRUCTION”: REPRESENTING 9/11 IN THE SOPRANOS Vito V. Petruzzelli B.A., Rutgers University M.A., Appalachian State University Chairperson: Craig Fischer Broadly definable as an interdisciplinary study of televisual texts, literature, and history, this thesis analyses David Chase’s The Sopranos (1999-2007) and its engagement of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks. Tracing the show’s narrative and aesthetic roots to its pilot episode, I explore how narrative and aesthetic elements contained in 9/11 television newscasts elicited both an alteration and an exaggeration of the show’s structural and symbolic elements. Furthermore, I illustrate the impact of televisual mediation on the act of viewership, demonstrating the manner in which The Sopranos and 9/11 newscasts employed authoritative narrative perspectives as a means of disseminating vital information to viewers. Methodologically, I employ a narratological approach to show through close textual analysis how elements of location and sequential ordering inform the creation of unique story worlds, and how these story worlds operate symbiotically with viewers in creating meanings beyond the texts.

  • A Second Sopranos Packet Much Like 12 Episodes of the Sopranos, This Packet Was Written by Matt Weiner 37 Tossups with Powers
    Not Possible, Even With Computers: A Second Sopranos Packet Much like 12 episodes of The Sopranos, this packet was written by Matt Weiner 37 tossups with powers 1. Immediately after Tony is informed of this action, a semi-conscious man mumbles "the fish is in my pocket." The results of this action are discovered as a man yells "Yo, Einstein, you should have seen me at the hospital." Authorization for this action is given by the sly phrase "I don't know" after contrasting the target of this action with a man who put up storm windows. Along with a related action that causes another character to wear a (*) neck brace in the following episode, this action is the second event intercut with a performance of the Welsh song "Ar Hyd y Nos."
