...speakeasy, underground restaurants are strictly word of mouth and never advertised in public. Even though the guests of the underground events enjoy the experience of the elegant dinner they are served, the health department is another story. The health department and other officials worry of the guests who are attending because the ventures are unlicensed, the cooks could lack food-handling education and also have no idea about the fire code. The disadvantages of owning an underground restaurant would be the fact that the health inspector could find out of the business and close the place down if the right steps are not taken. Chefs would need to be hired who know about the health code along with the servers and others who will be handling the food. For the safety of my company, I would have the whole business include the venue up to code and cancel out as much risk as possible, not only for the business but also for the safety of the guest. Another disadvantage is making a profit from the underground restaurant. Most just charge the guest the amount that is needed to buy the ingredients for the dinner and leave the rest to the customer to tip because of the underground business not claiming taxes. Tamara Reynolds even made a point in the article that she just charges $25 a head for the dinners and she has the guest put the money in a cash box so if someone from government were to ask about the business they can say the money is a donation to something. She goes on to say...

...Over the years I have developed a distaste for the spectacle of joie de vivre, the knack of knowing how to live. Not that I disapprove of all hearty enjoyment of life. A flushed sense of happiness can overtake a person anywhere, and one is no more to blame for it than the Asiatic flu or a sudden benevolent change in the weather (which is often joy's immediate cause). No, what rankles me is the stylization of this private condition into a bullying social ritual. The French, who have elevated the picnic to their highest civilized rite, are probably most responsible for promoting this smugly upbeat, flaunting style. It took the French genius for formalizing the informal to bring sticky sacramental sanctity to the baguette, wine and cheese. A pure image of sleeveless joie de vivre Sundays can also be found in Renoir's paintings. Weekend satyrs dance and wink; leisure takes on a bohemian stripe. A decent writer, Henry Miller, caught the French malady and ran back to tell us of pissoirs in the Paris streets (why this should have impressed him so, I've never figured out). But if you want a double dose of joie de vivre, you need to consult a later, hence more stylized version of the French myth of pagan happiness: those Family of Man photographs of endlessly kissing lovers, snapped by Doisneau and Boubat, not to mention Cartier-Bresson's icon of the proud tyke carrying bottles of wine. If CartierBresson and his disciples are excellent photographers for all that, it is...

...actually enjoy the occasion. She has created the illusion of the perfect mask among her guests. The dinner party is illustrated as one of Edna’s paintings showing it is just the picture of reality, not reality itself. The dinner table is perfectly decorated, and Edna herself looks majestic and beautiful in her gown. As the guests talk constantly, their conversation implies simple nothing. Their conversations don't really hold any substance. They are there to celebrate Edna's leaving her rank in the high society, but ironically, they are all members of the social elite themselves. They never really understand why Edna is choosing to leave her gorgeous mansion, and so their interactions in which although are pleasant and agreeable, are exactly the thing that Edna is trying to escape from. She despise all the formal, prescribed, and rules need to follow the specific social context. Edna longs for something indescribable, but which holds a honest and sincere emotional bond that she has found with Robert. On the other hand, we have Victor who illustrates a different kind of picture, but one that is equally false. He becomes a filler or a stand in for Robert when he sings but Edna knows that he is not Robert. He evokes the specter of Robert, but the illusion that he creates is false. Chapter 31 The author shows us the actions that have finally caught up with Edna. After her party only Arobin remains behind and helps her lock up the house. Together they leave Esplanade Street...

...and challenges from last year, as well as to consider changes to improve the coming year’s races and social events. A brief review of key discussion points follows: 2012 Party Schedule: Toward the end of last season, there were a number of discussions about our annual party schedule. Some members were rather vocal in favor of changing our traditional party schedule, while others were equally vocal in continuing the weekly parties. The Executive Committee worked to identify and address root causes for interest in changing the schedule, and also to determine whether the vocal members--for both perspectives--represented the majority of fleet members. • A survey was sent to the entire fleet with the goal of obtaining feedback from all members who had concerns about the party schedule. There were a total of 13 responses received from the entire fleet. 9 responses were in favor of keeping the weekly dinner party schedule, while 4 responses favored decreasing the number of parties and/or changing the party format. Based on the survey results, the Executive Committee decided to maintain the schedule of 9 weekly dinner parties hosted by fleet members in 2012. Plus, a final Labor Day weekend cocktail and awards party hosted by the Executive Committee. • With the goal of making the hosting of parties easier for everyone, Janie, Jeff, and Audrey are donating to the fleet...

...her husband found out the hard way that lying doesn’t always pay off like most people thinks it will. Mathilde goes from rags to riches to attend a formal dinner party her husband is invited to. She lives in her fantasized world for one whole night. She manipulated her husband to give her four hundred francs so she could go purchase a very fancy dress. When she could not trick him in to giving her more money she borrows what she thinks is a very expensive and beautiful diamond necklace from a very rich friend of hers named, Mrs. Forrester. She made a trip over to her friend’s house to ask her if she could borrow some jewelry. She looked through every piece of jewelry Mrs. Forrester had until she found that priceless diamond necklace and when she did “her heart throbbed with desire for it. Her hands shook as she picked it up. She fastened it around her neck, watched it gleam around her neck, and looked at herself ecstatically” (pg202). She finally felt like she was in the place she belonged; being beautiful and rich. She finally filled the urge to be a beautiful and classy woman like she had wanted to be the whole time she was alive until later that night when she lost the necklace. When Mathilde loses the necklace she is forced to become a more conservative person. She realizes when she gets home from the dinner party that...

...Go Back in Time with a Visit to the Historical Colonial Williamsburg. Colonial Williamsburg transports one back in time, to a time of America’s beginning in the mid 1600-1700’s. Williamsburg is reconstructed using the style and architecture of the era, even using the original tools and construction methods to build period authentic buildings complete with authentic furnishings and re-enactors dressed in period costumes. These re-enactors speak with the diction and style of that area, and the prep, time and dedication they put into their characters is clearly portrayed in their passion in recreating history. Williamsburg was first established as a fortified settlement between the James and York Rivers. It later became the capital after the state house in Virginia’s original capital of Jamestown burned down. The contractor Henry Cary took charge off the construction and built a H-shaped building. To prevent future fires it was built without fireplaces and candles, but when complaints were made about it being cold fireplaces were added and it burned down again. Williamsburg was not only the capital, but also a thriving, educational, and cultural center in the largest and most populated of the colonies from the period of 1699 to 1780. Williamsburg was the birthplace of many modern ideals that would shape our modern day government. The most important being, it was the place where the idea of the American Republic was born. A nation separate from British rule, A United...

...English 12 12 December 2011 Paper Assignment #6 James Joyce Strangled by Spiritual Paralysis Stanislaus Joyce once wrote “Ireland [is] a country which has seen revolutions in every generation” (Joyce 510). But what happens when these revolutions seem to come to an end? The Irish defeated British to become an independent nation of devout Catholics. They worked harder than those beside them to keep their families out of poverty, when Ireland became over populated as a result of the Napoleonic Wars. They suffered through the Great Potato Famine, losing many loved ones in the process. The country struggled to recover after each of these tragedies, but with their triumphs brought improvement. Through their devotion to Catholicism, their loyalty to Ireland and their hard work for their family, they survived, but they settled into an unchanging society engulfed by a form of spiritual paralysis as author James Joyce identifies in his writings. Many literary critics have taken an interest in his writings because of the underlying theme of spiritual paralysis in Dublin. Joyce’s brother, Stanislaus wrote “James Joyce: A Memoir”, in effort to defend and explain Joyce’s motivation for using Dublin as the heart of his writing. He describes Joyce as an independent person, often excited by multiple “enthusiasms”, which he was quick to share with the world (Joyce 488). Joyce was not afraid to criticize his homeland if he felt it would bring improvement, which can be seen in his impulsive...

...Mao’s approach to political leadership as a revolutionary was summed up in the phrase, “Correct leadership must come from the masses and go to the masses.” What was Mao’s philosophy of how to lead a revolution, before and after 1949? Initially a radical revolutionary then a committed Marxist, Mao’s philosophy on how to lead a revolution was bathed in Nationalism. It is Mao’s love for China’s independence coupled with agrarian reforms that put Mao on the road to power. After 1949, Nationalism would reappear in Mao’s cultural policies, his relationship with Moscow and underdeveloped countries. Mao feared nothing and no one. Using Marxism-Leninism as a framework, Mao proposed the use of peasants to create his revolutionary elite. His innovative thinking was unpopular among many of Mao’s Communist comrades; they believed the proletariat to be the key group (Cheek, 11). Mao also championed women’s liberation from masculine authority of husbands as well as clan, temple, and general religious oppression (Cheek, 11) also unacceptable position for a Communist to take. Mao’s breakdown of the rural classes into poor, middle and rich peasants demonstrated the Nationalist impulse rooted in his personality. His attachment to China led him to cooperate with the Guomindang, a nationalist group (Cheek, 10) and in the resistance war against Japan guided Mao to power (Cheek, 13). After standing up to his abusive father Mao said, “…I learned that when I defend my rights by open rebellion...
