Shit Happens

Accidents happen.   People drive poorly.   Expect this and don't act shocked.  Take steps to minimize your own risk.

If you go through life being perpetually surprised by bad things, life will suck for you.  Expect the worst and plan for it.  If it doesn't happen, then good for you.  If it does, you can at least ameliorate the outcomes.

I was perusing YouTube the other day, and bicyclists like to post videos of themselves being hit by "inconsiderate" drivers, even though, in many of these videos, the bicyclist is running stop signs, red lights, zooming across crowded crosswalks, etc.  And in a couple, at least, it appears the bicyclist intentionally rams into the car in question, without any attempt to slow down or swerve.

And yes, in many cases, the car is "at fault" because they did not see the cyclist.  But the cyclist is also "at fault" for not expecting the car to not see them.  Driving well means to drive defensively.  What does this mean?

It means that at every intersection, you should expect someone to run the red light.  At every driveway, you should expect someone to pull out in front of you.  In a crowded residential neighborhood, you should expect a small child to dart out in front of your car.

And you should slow down and have a "plan B" - an escape route or sufficient stopping distance.  Because if you rely on other drivers being perfect all the time you will get into accident after accident.

If you prepare for these things, you may be able to avert a horrible accident - most of the time.

But many people prefer the other course - when it comes to driving and to life.   They want to blame things on others in a causational model.  "If the other guy had looked out, the accident wouldn't have happened!" they cry.  But then again, if you had seen the other guy and thought, "Gee, I'll bet he just pulls out in front of me, what would I do them?" - and have a contingency plan - you could have avoided the accident.

And in many States, this indeed is the law - the concept of only one person being "at fault" is disregarded for the spurious nonsense that it is.  The person who had the last chance to avoid the accident - and failed to do so - is also partially to blame.

So in these videos, where cyclists zoom through crowded city streets at high rates of speed, is it entirely the car's fault there is a collision?  Or perhaps if they slowed down an anticipated the other fellow doing something stupid, they could have avoided the accident?  Or maybe, just maybe, riding a bicycle in a crowded city is just not a very smart idea - the law of probability will catch up with you over time, and it won't make a rat's ass of difference whose "fault" it is, when you are in a wheelchair.

"But I was in the right!" they scream.  And that is a very immature attitude toward life.  Because, as the saying goes, you can be right - dead right - and it doesn't matter, because you are dead.  And after decades of riding motorcycles and bicycles, I realize that whining about how bad car drivers are is sort of stupid.  You have to expect them to be bad drivers - because let's face it, they give anyone a license these days.  And that means you have to expect that dude to change lanes or make a turn without signalling - and not ride in his blind spot where you will plow into him.

In your financial life, shit will happen also, and I have commented on this before.  Bad things happen, and yea, you can argue it is "someone Else's fault" or you "had a patch of bad luck."  In all these financial sob stories you see on TeeVee, the Clem they are interviewing always has a laundry list of reasons why his financial situation is beyond his control.   But then they pull back and you see that this guy who wants our sympathy has a monster truck and a bass boat parked in his yard - and no savings in the bank.

Driving defensively can keep you out of accidents.  When you approach an intersection, a driveway, or whatever, expect someone to pull out or fail to stop or break the law, or whatever.  If you expect the probable then you are less likely to get into an accident, regardless of the other guy being "at fault".

Similarly, in economics, if you set up your finances so they can survive various random disasters and setbacks, you are more likely to survive financially.

Unfortunately, most people in this country life "paycheck to paycheck" - and are proud of it (at least from the way they love to go on TeeVee and brag about this).  Every penny they earn is spent, and most of it on stuff they don't really need.   When that paycheck goes away (which is someone else's "fault" of course) then the whole carefully balanced machine wipes out.

It is akin to driving the speed limit down a busy street lined with cars and just hoping that everyone obeys the laws, looks both ways, and no one pulls out in front of you or does something stupid.  You are putting your fate in the hands of others, and the outcome is all-too-predictable.

And whose "fault" is that, really?

Portlandia has a great video spoofing these aggressive bikers.   It also pokes fun of the whole "Fixie" trend, which is idiotic (style over substance).   Riding a bicycle and then acting shocked that there are cars out there is rather foolish.  Expect the expected.

I miss my Kodachrome

Digital Cameras are a technical improvement over film processing.  But from a social and interactive standpoint, they are a disaster.

As I noted in an earlier posting, one thing I realized, over time, was that trying to "record" events for posterity is an utter waste of time.  I realized this years ago after buying an 8mm Camcorder and discovering that I was experiencing my vacations through a viewfinder.  Moreover, no one really wanted to see the resultant videos, and they sat on a shelf.  And thanks to annual format changes, I am not sure I could even view them, without investing in some hardware - if the electronic images are not already lost for good.

What I realized is that it is better and easier to just experience things and thus enjoy real life, rather than try to record them and re-experience them later on.

My Mother left behind a closet full of 35 mm slides, taken all through her life.  During my youth, she would occasionally show the slides on a projector screen, and she and my Dad (and my siblings) would try to remember who was in the picture, what the event was, and why.  And like family photo albums or photos that are not labeled, once the principals in the photos die off, they become meaningless artifacts.  If you are going to keep this crap, at least label it.

Whatever happened to her 35mm slides and our old 8mm home movies, I do not know.   Does anyone watch them?  Probably not.  Does anyone care?  Doubtful.  After so many years, everyone's home movies look alike.

And in my lifetime, I have accumulated photo albums of old-fashioned photos, which document a lot of trivial events in my life.  No one looks at them, and I doubt even I will.  Once you've gotten over the "Gee, you weren't so fat" and "Gee, you had more hair" and "Were we ever that young?" the fun kind of wears off.  And these albums occupy an entire storage tote as large as a child's coffin.

Enter digital cameras.  Initially, these seemed like a great thing - freeing us from the hassle and expense of buying film.  And now we could store these images digitally, which would take up a lot less space.  But instead, other things have happened.

To begin with, since there are no film costs and there is no incremental cost to taking a picture, we end up taking five or six of the same shots, hoping to get "a good one" out of the bunch.  As a result, taking a photo, particularly a group photo, is an ordeal of "hold it" and then pressing the button (and not the wrong button, that turns off the camera) and then waiting for the exposure and hoping no one moves in the interim.

"Wait!  Let me do that again!" is a phrase that is sure to elicit groans from the crowd.

And you don't want to use the flash.  It takes forever to charge, drains the batteries within a few shots, and tends to produce pasty-white, washed out photos that are staggeringly unattractive.

But then you get the camera home and the fun begins.  Uploading the photos is a chore - and many folks have no idea how to do this.  Photos end up being stored in hard-to-find directories with cryptic titles, like ECD465821290 which of course, was your family vacation photos from last July (You didn't know that?  Idiot!).

And of course with Windows, you have to figure out whether they are stored in "Pictures" under your user name or in the "Public" directory.  The net result is you can't find a damn thing and are left with this vague feeling that there are lost photos somewhere on your hard drive.

Many folks, of course, do not make copies onto other hard drives or back up their hard drives, or upload their photos to the Internet (about half of all Americans, make that 70% don't know how to do any of these things - even how to copy a directory from one location to another!).  So when the hard drive fails (and they all fail, eventually) they lose all their photos.

Now you've got your photos on your hard drive.  How do you view and edit them?  Use Windows' poorly thought out and planned photo editor?  Or use some other proprietary program?   Of course, the first thing you have to do is go in and manually rotate all the photos you took in portrait mode, because most digital cameras don't figure this out automatically (geez, you'd think a simple microswitch could deal with that - it works on an iPad!).

Then....what?  Displaying photos on your computer is OK, if you have a good sized monitor.  But suppose you want to show others?  So you go out and buy a digital photo frame, select pictures, upload them, and then create a slideshow.  That's fun, I guess.   Or you can go online to webshots, Picasa, or even facebook, and create albums to share with friends.

What ends up happening, of course, is that 3/4 of the photos you take, you end up throwing out.  And you lose interest in editing,  cropping, and color adjusting the rest of them.  Photography, as a hobby, really has been killed off by the digital camera.  And what kills it, is sheer boredom.

So you want to print out a photo.  Well, the inkjet printer is to the rescue - making photo-quality copies at only 2-3 times the price of photo processing.  But if you are an artist, you can make incredible art with these things.  Problem is, everyone seems to have "done" the "color adjusted" inkjet photo with the weird super-chroma colors.  It is a tired trope at this point - having oranges, reds, greens, and blues "pop out" of a photo like a cartoon.  What ever happened to Black and White?

The old model of film-and-camera, even with Polaroid, was, in some aspects, better.  Why?  Because we didn't have so many choices.    You aimed the camera, pressed the button, and hope you got a good shot.  Even professional photographers had little to do, other than to set aperture and exposure, select film speed, and perhaps do some work on the developing side.

About the only upside of the whole thing is this:  I don't have to add any more physical photos to that tomb in my garage.  They can all go on the hard drive and then evaporate from there.  And perhaps they will continue on, into eternity, on webshots or Picasa, long after I am gone.  Not that anyone will look at them then, either.

Poetry: The Basics

 How do I read a poem? Do I really understand poetry?
This comprehensive guide demystifies the world of poetry, exploring poetic forms and traditions which can at first seem bewildering. Showing how any reader can gain more pleasure from poetry, it looks at the ways in which poetry interacts with the language we use in our everyday lives and explores how poems use language and form to create meaning.
Drawing on examples ranging from Chaucer to children's rhymes, Cole Porter to Carol Ann Duffy, and from around the English-speaking world, it looks at aspects including: 
 * how technical aspects such as rhythm and measures work
 * how different tones of voice affect a poem
 * how poetic language relates to everyday language
 * how different types of poetry work, from sonnets to free verse
 * how the form and 'space' of a poem contributes to its meaning.

Companion to British Poetry Before 1600

The first volume in a four-volume set on British poetry includes English, Scottish, Welsh, and Irish poetry before 1600. For this volume, editor Sauer has chosen the poems and poets who are most often included in the major anthologies of literature and the most used high-school textbooks. This means students will find analysis of Beowulf, The Canterbury Tales, The Faerie Queene, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and Shakespeare’s sonnets in one place. The 600 A–Z entries cover poets, poems, themes, terms, and historical events. Appendixes contain a glossary of literary terms and a bibliography. All articles are signed and include see also references and lists of further readings in journals and books. Entries range in length from a few paragraphs to 43 pages for Shakespeare’s sonnets. The entries on poems give an overview of the text, a discussion of the style, the historical context, and the most common interpretations of the poem.  The covered poets include not only the greats but also lesser-known but important poets, such as Bede and Dafydd ap Gwilym, along with many anonymous poets. Also included are some influential non-British poets, such as Ovid and Boccaccio. Important historical personages, such as Alfred the Great and Queen Elizabeth I, are treated in entries that explain their impact on writers of the time. Thematic entries provide background information for such topics as Arthurian literature, Peasants’ revolt, and Welsh women poets. Literary terms (e.g., Ballade, Octave) are explained in simple terms. In jargon-free language, this volume brings together a great deal of information that will be helpful to literature students. The analysis of poems will help them understand these early works, while the historical, biographical, and literary information will be useful in research. Gale’s series Poetry for Students has a much longer analysis of individual poems, but students would have to go through 30 volumes to find the poem they need, and the ongoing set is much more expensive.

Shakespeare in the Romanian Cultural Memory[2006]

 While it posits the problematics in the historical development of Shakespeare's presence in Romanian culture, the study gives a detailed history of the translations and productions of the plays, focusing on the most significant aspects of their literary, social, and political appropriation over the past two centuries. The author locates the arguments in a vista of cultural, social, and political issues that affected the local responses to Shakespeare. This monograph represents the cultural mediation of Romania in the context of "Shakespeare" understood as a construct shaping and created by various cultures. The description of Romanian cultural products and stage history examines how early translations from Shakespeare of production of plays grouped according to genre have contributed to the modeling of a theatrical selfhood that was linked to the European reception of the English poet. The survey of early versions of Shakespeare shows how Romanian translators interpreted the allusions in the text, while the cultural authority of the Shakespeare figure was perceived as a means of facilitating the country's exit from the status of a marginalized Balkan elsewhere. Romania, like other Eastern European stages, has exploited Shakespeare's canonical significance in the world civilization in order to leave its marginal status and assume the cultural, social, and political values of the other, mainly Western, European countries.

Requests and Culture: Politeness in British English and Japanese

The present study is concerned with the study of politeness in the context of cross-cultural pragmatics. Specifically, the investigation reported here may contribute to cross-cultural pragmatics by applying and developing Brown and Levinson’s politeness theory (Brown and Levinson, 1978  1987), notably with respect to requests and responses to off-record requests. Brown and Levinson have made a significant contribution to theory, but as they themselves acknowledge (Ibid.: 11), they have not provided an equally sound methodology, and in this study, I attempt to put their politeness theory on to a more secure methodological footing, to be discussed in more detail in chapter 5.

Since its first publication in 1978, Brown and Levinson’s theory of politeness has been subject to many criticisms. Taking account of such criticisms, and considering their theory in more detail, I will attempt to argue that:
1. the variables determining politeness strategies proposed by Brown and Levinson are valid  and
2. Brown and Levinson’s framework is still valid for cross-cultural comparison.

 Almost all papers present a major shift away from analyzing reported discourse with the help of abstract transformational principles toward embedding it in functional and pragmatic aspects of language.
Another central methodological approach pervading this collection consists in the discourse-oriented examination of reported discourse based on large corpora of spoken or written texts which is increasingly replacing analyses of constructed de-contextualized utterances prevalent in many earlier treatments.

The Grammar of Words: An Introduction to Linguistic Morphology

 Geert Booij's popular textbook examines how words are formed, compounded, and inflected in different languages. It shows how, when, and why to use methods of morphological analysis and explains how morphology relates to syntax, phonology, and semantics. The author considers the universal characteristics of morphology and how these are reflected in the workings of mind. The revised edition has been revised and updated throughout  it has a full glossary and a new chapter on the field's most notorious problem: the status of the word.

'The Grammar of Words by Geert Booij covers a broad range of topics from structural questions to psycholinguistic issues and problems of language change. This introduction to morphology is thorough and accessible and, like other works by this renowned author, especially strong at showing the significance of empirical facts for theoretical reasoning.'

Communicating by speech is seemingly one of the most natural activities for humans. However, despite its apparent obviousness and ease, speech production is a very complex activity with multiple levels of organization involved with transforming cognitive intent into a meaningful sequence of sounds. This book establishes a connection between the physiology of speech and linguistics, and provides a detailed account of speech production processes, indicating how various languages of the world make use of human anthropophonic capacities. The book also offers new insights into the possible ways in which articulatory-based phonetics and phonology might be unified, making it essential reading matter for anyone involved in this field. Numerous illustrations are included which enhance the reader’s understanding.

The American Language, first published in 1919, is H. L. Mencken's book about the English language as spoken in the United States.

Mencken was inspired by "the argot of the colored waiters" in Washington, as well as one of his favorite authors, Mark Twain, and his experiences on the streets of Baltimore. In 1902, Mencken remarked on the "queer words which go into the making of 'United States.'" The book was preceded by several columns in The Evening Sun. Mencken eventually asked "Why doesn't some painstaking pundit attempt a grammar of the American language... English, that is, as spoken by the great masses of the plain people of this fair land?" It would appear that he answered his own question.

In the tradition of Noah Webster, who wrote the first American dictionary, Mencken wanted to defend "Americanisms" against a steady stream of English critics, who usually isolated Americanisms as borderline barbarous perversions of the mother tongue. Mencken assaulted the prescriptive grammar of these critics and American "schoolmarms", arguing, like Samuel Johnson in the preface to his dictionary, that language evolves independently of textbooks.

The book discusses the beginnings of "American" variations from "English", the spread of these variations, American names and slang over the course of its 374 pages. According to Mencken, American English was more colorful, vivid, and creative than its British counterpart.
