Essie Power Clutch from the Fall 2011 Brand New Bag Collection
This 2-coat shade had a perfect formula that was smooth and well pigmented. It dries to a very high gloss finish, so I had difficulty photographing it outdoors without picking up lots of unwanted reflection. The color can best be described as a medium charcoal creme with deep dark olive undertones. This shade tends to lean more grey in lower lighting, but the green is evident in brighter lighting and sun (my photos were taken in full sun). I think the green also gives it a somewhat dusty or muted tone.
Did you pick any shades up from this collection? I'm kind of glad I didn't pick up any more from this collection, beacuse that means more money for their upcoming Holiday collection!

I'm wearing Power Clutch right now! I found it at Walgreens, so I don't even remember seeing the other colors from the collection. I absolutely love it though! Perfect formula, and two coats is awesome! I'm going to be wearing it a lot this fall.ReplyDelete
Fantastic shade on you. I want to see all of the collection first!ReplyDelete
So many greys this fall, but this one is a really pretty one!ReplyDelete
So clean and dark, very suited for Fall. I like it.ReplyDelete
Very sleek and cool :)ReplyDelete
Great shade, I love these peculiar greys!ReplyDelete
This one is definitively going on my WL. But it's also the only one from the collection. Cool colour though. My winners in Fall collections reman Zoya, Finger Paints and Orly. :)ReplyDelete
I also have Power Clutch & I love it!ReplyDelete
This collection grew on me. I kept adding and adding. I thought like you, a # of them I had close or dupes to. Then when I got them home and swatched, discovered other than one that is close to some darker gray/taupes I have - they are all very different. I did gravitate to Power Clutch right off which is funny as I know I have some really similar to this however they are not in cream - they are in a very light shimmer. Ended up with them all but the light pink one - Ladies Purse maybe? Cannot think what it's called - but knew it was too pale for me or what I would need now.ReplyDelete
Nope, not one, they all seem too familiar!ReplyDelete
love this color. have to check if kelly by Zoya is similar, then i dont need that one, but dark greys look soo nice every time :)ReplyDelete
Feel free to comment or just say hello! While I don't always have time to respond to each comment, I do read and appreciate all of them.

In Tennessee, we think of orange as a color, especially those of us who are avid sports fans, as it is representative of our team loyalties.
The word orange originally referred to the scent of the fruit, rather than its color hue.
The word orange is derived from Sanskrit, the classical language of India.
The Sanskrit "naranga" is kin to another one, "naru" in another Indian language, Tamil, where naru means fragrant.

As expected, Rockwood Electric Utility's bank account was dropping faster than the temperature. REU board members decided a few months prior to absorb a TVA increase instead of passing it on to customers. Cash reserves get low when REU pays TVA before customers pay REU. According to REU Manager Charles Johnson, this happens every year. It usually takes three or four months to regain normal cash flow.

Fifty years ago this week, the Rolling Stones played their first gig at the Marquee Club in London, England. Since that night, the band has gone down in rock 'n' roll history as one of the most iconic, longest running bands ever, having recorded dozens of chart-topping hits, from (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction to Start Me Up, and grabbing hundreds of headlines for their wild, indulgent partying and inter-band rivalries.
To mark this rock milestone, CBC Books is highlighting five particularly good books that capture the history of the Stones.
The True Adventures of The Rolling Stones by Stanley Booth
American journalist Stanley Booth followed the Stones on their legendary tour of the U.S. in 1969 as their writer-in-residence during the height of their popularity. He watched the band play live each night to frenzied fans and partied with them until the early hours, doing cocaine and heroin, listening to old blues songs with Keith Richards and watching Mick Jagger get, uh, satisfaction from countless women. He also witnessed the grim times, including the infamous incident at Altamont where he saw a member of the Hells Angels stab 18-year-old Meredith Hunter to death. Booth captured so much material that it took him 15 years to make sense of it all (or recover from his time with the Stones) and complete his account.
Rolling with The Stones by Bill Wyman
In this big 512-page book, former Stones bass player and co-founder Bill Wyman puts together an incredible written and visual timeline of the band that features many rare photos, press clippings, record-sleeve artwork and tour posters. Chronicled are adventures like the young band's first foray to America in 1964 and the unfortunate downward spiral of guitarist Brian Jones. Wyman himself stopped touring with the band in 1990, so his book can be seen as a history of the Stones, part one.
Ronnie by Ronnie Wood
Journeyman guitarist Ronnie Wood had played with some of England's most popular rock bands, including The Birds, The Jeff Beck Group and The Faces, before joining the Stones in 1975. But few things could prepare him for the level of stardom (and scrutiny) he would experience with Mick and Keith. In Ronnie, which in 2007 was the first autobiography by a member of the band, Wood shares his own development as a musician (which should appeal to students of rock 'n' roll) but also candid anecdotes about drug-fueled debauchery in the band's more youthful heyday. The engaging book is full of stories about arrests, weddings, funerals, sexual misadventures, and Eric Clapton.
Life by Keith Richards
Mick and Keith. Keith and Mick. The talented but undeniably dysfunctional musicians will never escape each other's shadow. In his autobiography, Richards sheds lights on this historic musical pairing by going back to the beginning -- from his childhood in Kent, England to the embryonic stages of the Stones, where he and Jagger rented a rundown apartment and learned to play the blues. Sure, he talks plenty about the rock-star excess (and personal tragedies) of the band's later years, but true Stones fans will love the detailed deconstruction of beloved songs like Jumpin' Jack Flash, his fly-on-the-wall descriptions of their intense studio sessions and Richards' own warm sense of humour.
According to The Rolling Stones by The Rolling Stones
Another weighty book filled with photos and anecdotes that cover four decades of making music and getting elegantly wasted, this collection of informal interviews with the band members traces the history of the group through their own personal testimonies. Each of the members' personalities come through, and the book includes essays about the Stones evolution and revolution by friends and fans like Don Was, Sheryl Crow and writer Carl Hiaasen.

With all of the Android flavored tablets being launched, the copywriter probably assumed that this was just another Android model with Honeycomb aboard. The circular expires July 21st, so the faux pas will soon be forgotten until the next mistake. We wonder how many readers didn't spot the error when reading the circular straight out of the mailbox. Even worse, we wonder how many Canadians will head over to their local Best Buy store asking to buy the Android 3.0 flavored HP TouchPad.

Deer Hunting Forums (http://www.deerhuntersclub.com/forums/)
- MuzzleLoader Hunting (http://www.deerhuntersclub.com/forums/muzzleloader-hunting/)
- - Powerbelt Aerolite bullets (http://www.deerhuntersclub.com/forums/muzzleloader-hunting/9071-powerbelt-aerolite-bullets.html)
Powerbelt Aerolite bullets
I have been hunting with muzzle loaders for 50 years and have tried just about every bullet available, including making my own. I have TC, Knight and CVA muzzle loaders. A couple years ago, when I bought the CVA Optima in 50 cal. I was amazed at the accuracy. It is a magnum but I use two 777 pellets for the best accuracy. I can tear the center out of a target at 100 yards from a bench rest.
I found my best accuracy at the 100 grains of powder and most of my shooting is at 100 yards or less. I have been using the 295 grain powerbelt bullets with great success. I haven't lost a deer that I shot with them. I get great mushrooms but the bullet often hangs up on the off side hide. The deer don't go far so I have had no problems finding them.
Last week I got some 300 grain Aerotip/Aerolite bullet and went to the bench rest. I shot three times at 100 yards and had a 1 1/2" group dead center in the target. I cleaned up the muzzle loader, loaded it and went deer hunting. Two does came by at 50 yards and I dropped the first in it's tracks. I reloaded with a 295 grain hollow point because that was what was in my speed loader. I shot the second doe and she went about 50 yards and was down.
Yesterday afternoon I shot a huge doe with a 300 grain Aerotip/Aerolite bullet. She went 25 yards and was down. The blood trail started at about 10 yards from the hit and Ray Charles could have followed it. The bullet went through both shoulders and gave a nice exit wound. I am completely sold on these bullets. I think one of the biggest mistakes made is using too much powder which can hurt accuracy and these bullets are designed for lower velocity. Accuracy is way more important than velocity especially since these bullets are designed that way.
Welcome to the old ML club :bag:, like you I too have hunted a long time with black powder firearms. I tend to stay away from CVA, just me, and used mostly TC products with a couple of Knight, Traditions, and a random CVA even a home built 54 Hawken. Right now I prefer Barnes bullets but also use the TC shock waves. I have bought some Harvester bullets but haven't made it to the range yet to test them. Powder is Black Horn for the in-lines and 2f & 3f black powder for the flintlocks. I'm not a pellet user and prefer top speed with accuracy. One thing though is, use what works for you!!!
I use a T/C 36 cal with round patched balls for squirrel hunting. Years ago I silver soldered a handle on an empty 45 cal shell. That is what I use for a powder measure and it works great. In my 45's I use home made bullets and 80 grains of FFG to get good accuracy. I even use some of that store bought lubricant after many years of using Crisco. Now I mostly hunt with the CVA and the other rifles rest in my safe. That rifle only cost a fraction of what some of my others cost and possibly I lucked out but it is by far the most accurate muzzle loader I own.
I have an engineer friend that I worked with for 37 years. He had never fired a muzzle loader and spent two years building one. It is a thing of beauty. He called and wanted to know if I would show him how to load and shoot it. It is a flintlock and I don't even own a flintlock now. He brought it over and I showed him all the things to do and not to do. That dang thing worked great and he was really pleased. That was fun with all the smoke and fire.
I love powerbelts, but I like the 245 gr with a 100 gr powder, well should say that's what my gun likes caz those were the only bullet I found that she would stack at 100 yards on paper.
I love the accuracy of the Aerolites. I took a small 3x3 buck in NM this year and they left a huge 3" entrance hole. I used them in my Optima as well but with 110gr Blackhorn209.

Bodemeister retired with shoulder injury; will stand at WinStar
Preakness runner-up Bodemeister has been retired to stud at WinStar Farm after veterinary examinations at the Rood and Riddle equine hospital in Lexington revealed an injury to one of the major muscles in his left shoulder.
"Bodemeister has a peripheral nerve injury which caused atrophy of the infraspinatus muscle in his left shoulder," Dr. Larry Bramlage said, according to a release the colt's connections issued Tuesday afternoon. "Obviously, this made us look at something unusual, rather than a normal lameness. His legs are perfect, but he was clinical when jogging to the left. After ruling out neck issues with X-rays and a myelogram, we feel confident in the diagnosis."
Bramlage estimated the problem would require 60 days to heal.
Bodemeister's trainer, Bob Baffert, said in the release that the colt probably sustained the injury "a couple of weeks ago" while in training at Del Mar, when he stumbled "significantly" and tossed his exercise rider.
"He was just never quite right after that, and we couldn't figure out what was going on with him," said Baffert. "It's unfortunate. We wanted to win the Breeders' Cup with him."
Bodemeister will remain in rehabilitation at WinStar in Versailles, Ky., through mid-October before the farm makes him available for breeders' inspections, according to the release.
In late June, WinStar partnered with Zayat and Michel and Tiffany Moreno to stand the 3-year-old Empire Maker colt. Zayat bought Bodemeister at the 2010 Keeneland September yearling sale for $260,000, and the Morenos purchased a minority interest in the colt in late April, before Bodemeister headed into the Derby as one of the classic's leading contenders.
Bodemeister hasn't run since his second-place finish to I'll Have Another in the Preakness. He had been pointing for the July 29 Haskell at Monmouth but Baffert withdrew the colt from consideration, saying he had developed a fever. Instead, Baffert saddled Zayat's Belmont runner-up Paynter to win the Haskell. Although Bodemeister had shipped to Del Mar with Baffert's stable this summer, he had not had a published workout since a July 8 spin at Santa Anita, and his connections sent him to Kentucky earlier this month amid widespread speculation that the colt had run his last race.
Bodemeister leaves racing with $1,304,800, two classic placings, and a Grade 1 victory to his credit. His 9 1/2-length win over Secret Circle in the Grade 1 Arkansas Derby earned him a 108 Beyer Speed Figure and made him the favorite for both the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness. Bodemeister also finished second, three-quarters of a length behind Creative Cause, in the Grade 2 San Felipe Stakes this year. He was unraced at 2 and scored an impressive 9 1/4-length victory in a Feb. 11 maiden special weight at Santa Anita. Bodemeister retires with a record of 2 wins and 4 seconds in 6 starts.
Audley Farm in Virginia bred Bodemeister from the Storm Cat mare Untouched Talent, a graded winner and Grade 1-placed runner. He is the mare's second foal and her first to race.
WinStar will announce Bodemeister's stud fee later.
After the rumors from last month that we might have seen Bodemeister's last race, coupled with the fact that the deal had been struck a month before that that Mr. Zayat had already come to an agreement with WinStar on a breeding deal for Bodemeister, it's not entirely a surprise Bodemeister is retiring, but I did think we would get to see him in a Breeder's Cup race before they retired him. And because we won't see him race again, that saddens me. Bode was part of the fabulous, and for me, legendary rivalry between I'll Have Another & Bodemeister that brought me a lot of joy and happiness this year. The I'll Have Another/Bodemeister rivalry sent the heart racing, left you breathless, and with the word "Wow!" tripping off of your lips after the race was over. I'm going to miss Bode, and I wish him a lot of good fortune in the future. He's a very fine race horse, and it's too bad we won't get to see more of him racing. I can't help but feel that Paynter may be the next to retire, with the all of the owners of great, extremely talented 3 year olds seemingly in a contentious race with each other to retire their horses at the most money for breeding purposes. The rash of early retirement and breeding this year is both upsetting and irritating. The fantastic crop of top-tier, 3 year old horses that emerged from California this winter, with I'll Have Another, Bodemeister, Creative Cause & Paynter leading that talented pack, are all being taken away from us, one by one - from the very racing industry and fans that need their star power the most. All of these horses, along with the east coast's Union Rags, brought a resurgent excitement to a racing industry in the United States this year that badly needed exciting heroes to root for. Not only our top male horses, but our top fillies as well are being early retired this year. We have had a rash of top three and four year old fillies retired as well this season. It's a little perplexing and makes me sad to see all of these great horses with so much wonderful potential being robbed of their chance to go down in the record books along with the champions of yesterday, when the industry was run differently, and training and breeding methods were approached differently. The rash of injuries is alarming, and points to there being something very wrong in how fragilly the horses are bred today. It's a disservice to all of these fine, noble horses to breed them in this way. The owners and the breeders need to collectively step and and do better, for the horses' sake and for the industry's sake as well. In fact, the change in breeding tactics is what is at fault in all of this, and it is ironic that the top of the second tier of 3 year old horses that is left to race in our top stakes races this year are the horses that started maturing late in their third year or even the beginning of their fourth year of age, and did not reach their racing peak at age two, which is what our short-sighted breeders are breeding toward as a goal. Horses peaking later, which is what our owners and breeders should be aiming for in the first place, along with breeding for more stamina in their lines along with speed, is what is what they should be doing to preserve the horses' health and improve the industry . As long as the owners and breeders continue to not wise up, and insist on stubbornly remaining greedy and short-sighted, the more of these early retirements we are going to see, and the more rapidly we are going to see this industry further decline. It's unfortunate. I now await the announcement of Paynter's retirement, because the way things are going, that cannot be far behind. Here's hoping Mr. Zayat can be patient enough to let Paynter run in, and win, a Breeder's Cup race before he retires him.
peoplel need to stop crying like little ******! theres a million more bodes and hansens etc. out there waiting to go through the breeders mill. watch.......I bet next years 3 yo crop gets decimated just like this years. its the fastest and easiest way to get them in breeders mill again. get ready for more whining!!
IHA Union Rags Bodemeister followed shortly by Paynter The whole breeding industry is disgustingly corrupt, showing absolutely no responsibility to the sport.
OMG. The magnanimous Bodegreatness has been retired??? What a magnificently great record, 2 wins and 4 seconds. Gosh, how can they do this? This is like retiring Secretariat!!! LMAO
Bodemeister was poised to be the next breakout superstar. The one this industry sorely needed. I can understand retiring IHA and Hansen due to tendon injuries, but Bodemeister is being retired because the owners simply don´t want to wait for SIXTY days to let the horse continue his racing career. This is BS, absolute BS. Want to know why the only thing keeping horse racing alive is the racino? It is because owners realize they don´t need to HAVE a moral obligation to the fans who used to support the industry previously anymore. I am not talking only about the bettor. I am talking about the father who used to take the wife and kids to the races, have lunch and spend a beautiful afternoon basking in the sunshine and being close to these magnificent athletes. Now, they don´t care because they (the owners) know that the casino will pay to prop up their INVESTMENT.
We put much on these good horses to early. The derby should be for 4yr old. Now we lost 2 great horses so soon. Is this sending out a message or what
I would never send any mares to a stud with a five month career and two lifetime wins.
Bodemeister had a "heart" injury.
the consequences of horses been pumped full of drugs all the time, then off to stud and pass on their defective genes to the next generation. its a serious detriment to the thoroughbred, which can only get worse
I think we all are reading this wrong,,mabye baffert is sending his son bode to stud??????

Mike Tyson reveals how he used to pass his drug tests
The former boxer figured out a clever way to beat the drug test.
Text Size
Mike Tyson was a guest on the television program Chelsea Lately with Chelsea Handler as the host last Monday night.
The former boxer opened up during his interview with Chelsea Handler and explained in detail about his experiences with the anti-doping exams required by all professional athletes.
He revealed that he kept a fake penis filled with urine from someone else who did not use drugs. When questioned about what types of drugs would have been found in his system Tyson only limited himself to say marijuana.
Regarding how he was able to fool the person in charge of administering the test, he said:
It doesnt work quite like you think, but it works if you want to pass a drug test You pull it out [the fake penis], it has inside someone elses urine, of course it has to be someone who doesnt use drugs, and I wait. People usually turn around as soon as you pull it out, I just filled the cup with the other urine.
He did mentioned that the system did not work 100% of the time, since in 1992 he was apprehended and sentenced to six years in jail, where he had to go through the drug tests. But he was not prepared and did not have his fake organ with him leaving him exposed.

Bicentennial Project - ILF partnered with the Newspapers in Education Foundation to provide
every elementary school library in Indiana a free copy of So you think you know Indiana?, authored by Nelson Price in celebration of the Bicentennial.
Eliot Rosewater Award - The Eliot Rosewater Indiana High School Book Award (Rosie Award) is chosen annually by students across Indiana in grades nine through twelve. Students at participating high schools and public libraries who read any of approximately 20 nominated books are eligible to rate each book they've read. The votes are tabulated each May, and the winner is announced.
The author of each year's award-winning book is invited to receive the Rosie Award in person at a special event sponsored by the Association for Indiana Media Educators and the Indiana Library Federation.
The purpose of the Rosie Award is to encourage high school students to read for fun. It also promotes cooperation between school administrators, media specialists, teachers and public librarians in broadening reading programs. Rosie promotes reading across the curriculum.
Read Alouds Too-Good-To-Miss - The Read Alouds Too-Good-To-Miss program is a project of the Association of Indiana School Library Educators (AISLE). Each year, a committee of media specialists, public librarians, classroom teachers, reading teachers, principals, bookstore operators, and/or university faculty members is formed to develop five read-aloud lists: one for primary age students, one for upper elementary, one for middle school students, one for high school students, and an ageless. The lists are publicized and distributed to Indiana schools to encourage sustained reading and oral sharing of literature among teachers and students.
Young Hoosier Book Award - The purpose of the Young Hoosier Book Award Program is to stimulate recreational reading among elementary and middle school/junior high school children and to encourage cooperation between administrators, school media specialists, teachers, public libraries, and the community in providing student participation in pleasure reading was the thrust behind the creation of Young Hoosier Book Award (YHBA) Program in 1974-75. By allowing students to vote for their favorite books, media professionals hoped that more students could be motivated to read more newly published books. reading experiences for Indiana school children.
Scholarships - The Indiana Library Federation offers four scholarships for those seeking a degree in Library Science.
The Sue Marsh Weller Fund provides funding for those working toward a master's degree and planning to work with children or youth. Assistance is typically in the $1,000 range.
David Dickey Continuing Education Award honors and recognizes individuals who are new to the academic library profession seeking support for continuing his/her education.

This article and video is being done in a partnership with Therese Miu. Therese is a talented and bright woman who shares insights related to health and inspiration. She has a positive energy about her that is contagious. Just take a moment and visit her blog. You'll be glad you did.
The gist of our collaboration project is what makes you feel fulfilled and unfulfilled. This is nothing more than feeling like you are making a difference in your life and living to your full potential. Below is a video that my wife helped me film. In it, I talk about the difference between being fulfilled and unfulfilled. It really comes down to one simple thing. Watch the video to learn what that is.
I also have a list of specific things you can do today to be fulfilled. They are not terribly difficult to do – the hardest part is getting started with them. But watch out for my second list. In it you will see some of the worst things you can do, which will lead to depression and being unfulfilled.
- Arising early on your terms with a clear vision of the day.
- Physically exercising at least 3 times a week in strength, flexibility, and endurance.
- Finding ways to give more value to someone than they are currently getting consistently.
- Creating or doing your passion regularly.
- Eating/drinking foods that will provide you with health, strength, and proper nourishment.
- Sleeping in.
- Being lazy in learning.
- Thinking only of yourself.
- Putting off your dream/passion.
- Eating and drinking whatever you want whenever you want.
Ultimately, your best effort will determine your fulfillment. Give it all you got. Whatever comes from that you can accept fully and completely because you did your very best. I think giving your best means acting on the inspiration you receive to do what you are capable of doing. Sometimes you'll succeed. Other times you'll fail. Either way is fine because you have increased in learning.
Ask yourself the question, "Are you fulfilled?" Are you living your life's purpose? Are there people around you that you could help more clearly live their life purpose? Do the best you can and accept the results – whatever they may be. Many thanks to Therese Miu for collaborating with me on this project. Happy living everyone!

Whole Grains for Busy People: Fast, Flavor-Packed Meals and More for Everyone by Lorna Sass, includes recipes like Hominy and Kidney Bean Chili; Torticotti; and Quinoa Paella with Chicken and Chorizo.
Serves 4 to 6
It takes a few hours to cook dried hominy from scratch, but ready-to-eat chewy nuggets of this large-kernel field corn are readily available in cans, usually in the Latin section of supermarkets.
Combine the hominy,with mahogany kidney beans to make a hearty, protein-rich, vegetarian stew. Diced tomatoes brighten the mix, and chunks of zucchini cooked tender-crisp make a good counterpart to the mellow beans and hominy. Serve the chili with Southwestern Mini Loaves (page 169 of the book), if you like.
Speed Tip: Using canned diced tomatoes with chiles included saves you the trouble of buying and preparing fresh chilies.
In a heavy 4-quart Dutch oven, heat the oil. Stir in the onion and cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until it begins to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Lower the heat to medium. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, garlic, and cinnamon, and cook for another minute. Stir in the oregano.
Add the tomatoes, hominy, beans, and zucchini.
Season to taste with salt and pepper, and additional chili powder, if needed. Bring to a boil. (over, reduce the heat, and simmer until the zucchini is tender but still firm, 8 to 12 minutes.
Stir in the roasted red pepper and cilantro just before serving. Ladle into soup bowls and accompany with bowls of lime wedges and grated cheese.

The armed wing of the Palestianian militant group Hamas appears to have rejected Egyptian ceasefire proposals to end a week-long conflict. Israel has, however, approved the truce.
"No official or unofficial side has approached us about the ceasefire talked about in the media… (but) if the contents of this proposal are true, it is a surrender and we reject it outright," the statement said
"Our battle with the enemy will intensify," it added.
Hamas wants any truce deal to stipulate that Israel must lift its blockade on Gaza and open the Rafah border crossing with Egypt. It also wants Israel to release Palestinians it re-arrested after freeing them in exchange for kidnapped Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.
Israel's security cabinet has meanwhile approved the Egyptian offer at a specially convened meeting on Tuesday, Israeli officials said.
The cabinet voted in favor of the truce plan just minutes before it was to come into effect at 0600 UTC.
Week-long violence
Egypt proposed late on Monday that Israel and Hamas lay down their arms on Tuesday within 12 hours of accepting the plan by 0600 UTC .
The offer aims to end seven days of fighting in which Israel has responded to intensive Hamas rocket fire from the Gaza Strip with hundreds of deadly airstrikes that have killed at least 186 Palestinians, most of them civilians.
No Israelis have so far been killed in the violence, though a number have been injured.
Some 17,000 Palestianians have fled their homes, particularly in northern Gaza.
US backing
United States President Barack Obama has backed the Egyptian initiative, calling the Palestinian civilian deaths a "tragedy" while stressing Israel's right to self-defense.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who heads the Palestinian Authority based in the West Bank, also welcomed the Egyptian plan.
In continuing attacks on Israel on Tuesday morning, two rockets landed in the southern port city of Eilat and another just outside, according to the army. Four people suffered minor injuries.
Reports differed as to where the rockets were fired from, with some saying they had been launched by Islamist militants in Egypt's Sinai and others that they came from Gaza.

Monday May 12th, 2014 2:45pm
Virginia earned a big win at the ACC showcase game, but the program appears to have lost momentum in the post-Stanwick and Bocklet era. (Inside Lacrosse Photo: Rich Barnes)
The big game trappings were in place on Sunday for a meeting of longtime rivals in Charlottesville. It was a sunny day with temperatures in the low-80s. During the game, the public address announcer acknowledged the oldest living Virginia football player – he's 104 years old and was in attendance rooting for the Cavaliers.
In the end, there were smiles all around when Virginia defeated Georgia Tech.
Oh, you thought I was talking about the lacrosse game between No. 8 seed Virginia and Johns Hopkins? The teams that have combined for 14 NCAA Titles?
That game took place next door to baseball. Started around the same time, too. Not that many people noticed.
One game drew 4,698. The other drew 2,054.
Hint: The smaller crowd was for lacrosse.
Is there a sea change coming to Virginia spring sports?
On Sunday, it was impossible not to at least consider the question. The baseball team is ranked No. 1 and enjoying unprecedented success. The 3-1 win Sunday clinched the program's first three-game sweep of the Yellow Jackets since 2005.
The lacrosse team has enjoyed high national rankings this season, too. It was ranked No. 2 on March 3 and began the season 6-0.
But the Virginia lacrosse program looks to have lost a lot of momentum recently.
The Cavaliers won the national title in 2011 and were ranked No. 1 for six weeks in 2012. It seems a long time ago. All-Americans Steele Stanwick and Chris Bocklet left following a Quarterfinal loss to Notre Dame in 2012.
The Cavaliers haven't won a playoff game since.
Almost every program is going to have a dip once losing standout players like Stanwick and Bocklet. It happened to Syracuse post-Michael Powell, to Johns Hopkins post-Paul Rabil, Kevin Huntley and Stephen Peyser.
In fact, I would say the Blue Jays didn't completely turn the page from the Rabil-Peyer teams until this season and especially Sunday. (Though they came close to doing so in 2011.)
A 14-8 win over the Cavaliers featured all the hallmarks of previous Johns Hopkins teams: A great game plan flawlessly executed; huge performances from players who hadn't done very much up to that point, either because of injury or circumstance (step forward, Kevin Interlicchio).
I was telling a colleague earlier this year that it had been a while, maybe dating from 2011, since Hopkins coach Dave Pietramala "pulled a rabbit out of his hat" and won a game against all expectation. It happened earlier this year against Maryland and it happened again Sunday.
"You never know what kids are capable of," Pietramala said after the game.
Yet they were given a chance to prove themselves.
Trailing 2-1, the second midfield of Interlicchio and freshmen Cody Radziewicz and John Crawley entered the game. The Blue Jays scored.
On the next possession, the second midfield was in again. The Blue Jays scored again to take the lead for good. There were contributions from four SSDMs -- in the first quarter alone – and overall nine offensive midfielders played.
After the game, team captain Michael Pellegrino noted that junior Rob Enright had made a couple huge defensive plays when he decided to slide to Virginia players who had the ball in their dominant hands. It wasn't the coach's decision. It was Enright's.
Virginia seemed stagnant by comparison. No mixing and matching of midfield lines, once a staple of offensive coordinator Marc Van Arsdale. The Cavaliers roared to life twice. In the opening five minutes, they won every looseball, swarmed face-off specialist Drew Kennedy and took a 2-0 lead on goals from senior Mark Cockerton.
Johns Hopkins answered with an 8-0 run.
The Cavaliers came back to life to close to 9-8 following a goal by junior Tyler German – a second line middie – with around five minutes to play.
Johns Hopkins answered with a 5-0 run.
Afterward, coach Dom Starsia was his typical self. Which is to say, he was gracious in defeat and he was insightful; until Starsia said it Sunday, I hadn't realized that all four ACC Tournament results were the opposite of what happened in the regular season.
Starsia might be the same, but his program doesn't appear to be. It is hard to see any momentum there. Starsia noted that nothing had come easy for his team this year. It was always a struggle. It was the same things he had said last year when the Cavaliers failed to make the NCAA Tournament.
With respect, it may show how far North Carolina has fallen that two subpar seasons in Charlottesville are drawing attention when 20-plus seasons without a Final Four in Chapel Hill, N.C., are worthy of little more than a shrug or shake of the head.
But what was unmistakable Sunday was that Virginia has lost momentum in the post-Stanwick and post-Bocklet days. It is dealing with adversaries (for lack of a better term) within our sport. In their own campus they must contend with the shiny bauble of Virginia baseball next door.
The cheers from the baseball game even periodically crept into the lacrosse TV broadcast. How's that for symbolism.
The PA announcer at lacrosse on Sunday announced goals by Stanwick and Bocklet.
But it was Johns Hopkins junior Wells Stanwick – he scored five – and Virginia women's player Casey Bocklet, whose team defeated Princeton, 13-11, in the second half of a doubleheader.
Steele Stanwick and Chris Bocklet are gone. Virginia has had its two-year dip that most programs should be afforded when losing players of that caliber. But the Cavaliers need to regain momentum, quickly. Or they might lose their spot in our sport. And on their campus.

The Club was formed in 1920, playing its first matches at Dunmow Road before moving to the present location at Silver Leys in 1928. The current Clubhouse was re-opened in 1985 when an international select XV took on the First XV - and lost, although the score is lost in the folklore of the Club, where individual "wins" over current internationals never fade into the dark! Bishop's Stortford adjusted quickly to the establishment of League rugby for 1st XVs in 1987, winning promotion into London Two North in the very first season. It was decided that a period of consolidation was then called for and, after 15 years of this(!), always in the top half of the table and with very many near misses, promotion to London One (level 5) was finally won in 2003.
In 2012 London One was renamed National 3 London & the South East and the change of name was obviously to our liking because in 2013 after 10 years of gradual progress we finally achieved promotion again as champions after overtaking long time leaders Dorking RFC in the penultimate game of the season and sealing the title on a never to be forgotten Sunny April day at Home in front of a crowd of approx 1500 against Old Elthamians RFC.
2013/14 was our first season at Level 4- National 2 South and after a diffult start we eventually found our feet. So much so that post Xmas we were very much one of the form teams of the league and on the final day of the season we triumphed over the league winners Hartpury College RFC 31-21 and in doing so finished in an astonishly good 3rd position overall. Not bad at all for a first season!
The Blues or 2nd XV compete in the Zoo Shield Divison 2 North league & also participate on our behalf in the Hertfordshire County Cup (which since 2012/13 has been restricted to teams at level 6 and below)The club won the former competition last in 2008 and our Blues repeated that success in 2013. In 2014 they finished Runners up to Letchworth RFC.
Our Thirds, & Fourths participate in the Herts Middlesex Merit Tables as did our Fifths until they (hopefully)temporarily withdrew due to shortage of senior players. This means that every team plays competitive, yet social rugby most Saturdays, with some (so-called!)friendlies thrown in to complete the season.
The Colts team, who usually play on a Sunday, have been regular winners of the Hertfordshire County Colts Cup, most recently this season 2013/14)and County Colts Sevens Cup. They also compete in the National Colts Competition, which they won last season 2012/13
The Mini and Youth Sections continue to thrive, thanks to the commitment of many parent coaches and the determination of the Club to provide all possible support, particularly in the training of coaches. we currently have in the region of 600 children enjoying their rugby education at Stortford.
To paraphrase the most famous son of the club England and British lions Hero Ben Clarke, we have games at all levels for any age, size, ability and fitness - join us now, be part of the Club and prove it!

Target: Montana Legislature
Goal: For attending a dogfight in the state to be a felony offense
Dogfighting is a felony in every state in America. However, Montana is the only state that has no laws addressing the audience of a dogfight. The spectators that attend a dogfight are no better than those who organize the fights. By watching a fight, they are encouraging the animal cruelty and they should face consequences as well. Montana needs to make attending a dogfight a felony.
If there were no spectators for dogfights, then they wouldn't have reached such a high level of popularity. It is the people who attend the fights that bet on the animals and encourage the ruthless behavior to continue. If Montana makes attending a dogfight a felony, then less people will participate in the fights and hopefully the amount of abused dogs will decrease.
Montana lawmakers have recently created a bill that would make attending a dogfight illegal, but it was shelved despite a large amount of support for it. We need to urge officials to bring life back to this bill so that we can end this cruel sport. Sign the petition below to show your support for making this issue a felony offense.
Dear Montana Legislature,
Dogfighting is a disgusting act that typically involves a large audience. The audience participation is crucial, because that is how bets are started and excitement arises. Without the audience, a dogfight would be pointless. Because of this, being a spectator at a dogfight should be treated as a felony.
Betting on dogfights is the sole reason they still occur. Even though the organizers of the dogfights are held responsible when caught, the spectators are let free. Your state recently created a bill that would make being in the audience of a dogfight a felony, but it was shelved. This is an important issue that shouldn't be neglected. If the audience members are punished for attending a fight, then the sizes of audiences will decrease and fights will hopefully cease to exist.
It is sickening that one of the only ways to end dogfighting is by looming the threat of a felony over participant's heads. This is a disgusting hobby that many people refuse to give up. We are asking you to please revive the bill to punish audience members of dogfights and make sure it passes so that we can save the lives of innocent dogs.
[Your Name Here]

Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The manufacture and use of chemicals have increased significantly over the past half century. Synthetic chemicals are now integrated into nearly all industrial processes and consumer products, with approximately 30,000 substances believed to be in wide commercial use. Information regarding risks posed to human health and the environment from the growing dependence on chemicals is inadequate, but momentum is building worldwide for better management of these risks. Human biomonitoring surveys have demonstrated widespread human exposure to large numbers of industrial chemicals, therefore changing public perceptions of environmental contamination. Moreover, there is increasing recognition that the most important pathways of exposure do not necessarily involve ambient air or drinking water, but instead may be much more direct; said pathways may often originate from consumer products and other residential sources. The scientific community is becoming aware that traditional sampling strategies and measurement techniques for characterizing exposure are inadequate for addressing hundreds, much less thousands, of chemicals. Our enhanced understanding of the inherent spatial and temporal variability of chemical exposure, of the importance of critical windows of susceptibility, and of the role of human activities in precipitating exposure, is driving fundamental changes in exposure science.
The practice of exposure assessment must change substantially to achieve the recommendations of the 2007 National Research Council (NRC) of the National Academy of Sciences report on Toxicity Testing in the 21st Century and the 2012 NRC report on Exposure Science in the 21st Century. Technological advances to support more efficient and effective means of screening chemicals for potential risk must include new tiered modeling approaches to predict exposure, as well as the development of broad, high-throughput analytical methods and novel biological and chemical sensors. The exposure community is beginning to embrace citizen science and social networking mechanisms to engage the public and benefit from their creativity, innovation, and enthusiasm. Tools and models from several social sciences (e.g., consumer marketing research, applied behavior analysis, social anthropology, etc.) are being integrated into exposure assessment to better understand the complex social behaviors that determine human exposures and to identify key drivers of chemical exposure potential. Continuing advances in technology and information architecture are providing the tools needed to perform risk assessment of chemicals in a more rapid, efficient, and cost-effective way.
Integration of hazard, exposure, effects, and behavioral information is advancing the sound management of chemicals, while transcending the traditional disciplinary boundaries of the risk assessment paradigm. This special issue, "Innovations in Exposure Assessment for the Sound Management of Chemicals," invites contributions that will demonstrate innovative analytical or computational approaches to exposure assessment for chemical risk management.

David Rockwell, whose firm designed the Kodak Theatre at Los Angeles' Hollywood & Highland Center, will design the sets for the 2009 Academy Awards telecast, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced.
Other projects designed by the Rockwell Group include a freestanding building for the Cirque du Soleil at Walt Disney World in Florida; the Elinor Bunin-Munroe Film Center at Lincoln Center in New York; the Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco, scheduled to open in 2009; in addition to several restaurants and hotels. David Rockwell's firm is also involved with the master plan of Coney Island, including Steeplechase Plaza.
Potential Oscar 2009 contenders
The list of potential Oscar 2009 contenders is quite extensive, ranging from Anne Hathaway in the Best Actress category for her performance in Jonathan Demme's Rachel Getting Married to Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises in the Best Picture and Best Director categories. As The Joker in Nolan's Batman film, Heath Ledger is sure to earn a posthumous Best Supporting Actor Oscar nod.
The Dark Knight Rises' Christian Bale is a distant possibility in the Best Actor category, but Leonardo DiCaprio has a fighting chance for Sam Mendes' drama Revolutionary Road, which also stars potential Best Actress nominee Kate Winslet. Winslet could also be shortlisted in that category for another drama, Stephen Daldry's The Reader. Penélope Cruz, for her part, is a shoo-in in the Best Supporting Actress category for her latest Anna Magnani impersonation, this time in Woody Allen's Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Allen is an unlikely Best Director candidate, but he could get a writing nod. Cruz's fellow cast members Javier Bardem, Scarlett Johansson, and Rebecca Hall are all highly unlikely Oscar 2009 candidates.
The 81st Academy Awards ceremony will be held on Sunday, Feb. 22, 2009, at the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood & Highland. In the United States, the Oscarcast will be televised live by ABC.

'Green' Energy Promotes Parasitic Power Producers
Written by Viv Forbes, The Carbon Sense Coalition
Comments (2)
An excellent article explaining the logical contradictions inherent in wind power.
A little elaboration on:
".. no one knows how much global warming is related to carbon dioxide and how much is due to natural variability.".
Well we do know a bit more than that suggests. There are good arguments especially on this site that the amount is zero, that any postulated warming from CO2 cannot occur. All other reputable analysis puts the amount as so low that no action to stop it cannot be justified. The work of Dr David Evans on the 'hot spot' as explained on Jo Nova's site, allows (as I understand it, but does not support) the possibility of a warming effect but has shown that positive feedback does not exist.

"This is a great quality invitation. Particularly liked that the paisley design was carried to the reverse side of the card. The colors made for a pretty presentation. I used this card for a 90th birthday luncheon--the only suggestion for improvement would be to change the the color of the personalized print section--it is a little hard to read for "older" eyes."
"Loved this card for my daughter's house warming party. The design was cute; who doesn't love a rooster? There was alot of room to personalize our information. The paper quality was awesome. I will definitely order from here again."
"We needed an elegant but trendy invitation for our dual retirement party with a tropical touch. This invite fit the bill not only in style but budget. The ability to add a personal photo with a message to the back was the final touch we needed."
"The card is beautiful, excellent quality all around! Service and delivery time cannot be beat. Placed my order on a Monday and received it on Thursday---earlier than projected day of delivery. Also, comments about the card are highly favorable!"
"We were very pleased with the quality and sturdiness of these invitations. We have received several compliments. Would definitely use your company again."

- Found Parts
Many parts of Star Wars costume are "found parts". Found parts are pieces and parts of real world items which have been repurposed as part of the costume. It is much easier to add a found part to a costume than to create it from scratch. Found parts are sometimes referred to as "greeblies" which are details on a larger part that give it more complexity and depth. Greebliles are often pieces from model kits which have been glued on to a larger costume part.

A Maryland man who has created an over-the-top Christmas light display for nearly 30 years is taking a break this year as he fights cancer, but his home won't be short on holiday cheer.
Ted Adleman's neighbors are planning to sing Christmas carols outside his house on Christmas night.
"We asked, 'What can we do to honor him after many years of him doing something for all of us?'" Linda McDonald Hamlett said.
Hamlett grew up in Lanham and invited more than 600 people to sing outside Adleman's house on Christmas Day.
The Adleman family's home on Good Luck Road in Lanham has been bright with light-up reindeer, Santas and gingerbread men for the past 26 years. Generations of Prince George's County residents have grown up stopping to look at the lights every year.
But this year, Adleman, 77, said he is not up to creating the display; he was diagnosed with cancer this year.
Neighbor Sandie MacWelch said going to see the Adlemans' home has been a family tradition for her 14-year-old son's entire life.
"He was 2 weeks old the first time we went," she said.
"It's always been the Griswold house to me," MacWelch said, referencing the blindingly bright lights in "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation."
Hamlett said she is expecting at least a few dozen people to sing at the Adlemans' home at 6:30 p.m. Sunday, Christmas Day, on the 9200 block of Good Luck Road.
Next year, neighbors plan to set up the lights for Adleman.

We have calculated electron inelastic mean free paths (IMFPs) for 50-200 eV electrons in 31 materials (27 elements and 4 compounds). These calculations extend those previously reported for 200-2000 eV electrons in the same materials but avoid an approximation valid for electron energies above 200 eV. IMFP results are presented in this paper for magnesium, aluminum, silicon, nickel, copper and gold. The IMFP dependence on electron energy in the range 50-200 eV varies considerably from material to material; these variations are associated with substantial differences in the electron energy-loss functions amongst the materials. We have also extended the general IMFP formula derived earlier to describe the calculated IMFPs over the 50-2000 eV energy range.

Thanks for the tip. Today after one of our feedings I'm headed over to the evil Baby's R Us in anticipation of trying on a couple of carriers and this one sling my dh said he saw that looked cozy for computer time. I like 'holding' him - having him on me.

. . . see if you can get an Over the Shoulder Baby Holder.
If you want an unpadded sling, which is much more flexible size wise, I'd recommend a Maya Wrap. (Which I distribute.)

when you look on ebay, type in "baby sling." MOE has a bunch of auctions on ring-less slings. I have no idea how good these are...today was my first time seeing them...just thought you might be interested.

Note: This is part one of a two-part series.
In 2012, I saw some of the most epic landscapes our planet has to offer.
I achieved my primary travel goals of 1) seeing more of South America, and 2) touring Europe in between two travel conferences.
But, the fast pace of travel left me burnt out by year's end. Giving myself two and a half weeks to decompress in Florida, followed by the upcoming four months in Medellin, is exactly what I needed.
I have yet to write about much of what I've seen in 2012, so please consider this a brief look back, as well as a preview of what's to come in early 2013.
Lima, Peru
I quietly celebrated New Year's Eve in Lima with a Peruvian friend, and continued to enjoy the Summer atmosphere there.
The weather is nicer, and you can see a bit more blue sky in Miraflores, the neighborhood where I lived. Plus, I visited several beaches south of the city.
By early February, I'd realized I was a man without a dream, having already achieved my trip around the world and location independence.
I resolved to simply take life one day at a time, and not lose sight of the fact that I'm still doing the work I want to do, where I want to do it.
In early March, I flew from Lima to Buenos Aires, ahead of my trip to Patagonia with G Adventures.
Within a few days, we were hiking around Fitz Roy mountain, and fulfilled a childhood dream to go ice climbing! They even surprised us with a walk under Viedma glacier, which was a first for me.
From El Chalten, we took a short drive to El Calafate to see Perito Moreno Glacier, which was spectacular.
Every night, Christian, our guide, would take us to terrific restaurants where we'd feast on the best food in Patagonia, including fresh fish, lamb, and King crab chowder (my favorite).
In Torres del Paine, which had recently suffered damage due to wildfires, we hiked to the Three Towers, as well as up the French Valley.
Later, from Ushuaia, the southernmost city in South America (and the world), we visited wild penguins, and I flew a plane for the first time!
Buenos Aires, Argentina
Back in Buenos Aires, I settled into a new studio apartment in the charming Palermo Soho neighborhood.
I began taking tango lessons, reviewed a popular tango dinner show, attended a Boca Juniors soccer match, went on a graffiti tour, and sampled the famous Argentinian steaks in several popular parillas.
Despite being one of Latin America's most popular cities, I didn't feel a connection. I was happy to visit, but it's not some place I'd choose to live.
I hopped a ferry from Buenos Aires to Montevideo, capital of Uruguay.
I didn't think much of it, and quickly left for Punta del Este, which is considered the French Riviera of Latin America. While the reputation may be well deserved, it's only true during the Summer (December to February). By the time I got there in May, the city was eerily empty.
I knew Cabo Polonio, a small hippy village by the beach would also be empty, but I decided to check it out anyways. I left the next day for Punta del Diablo, which you can probably guess, was empty too.
Only this fishing village wasn't a big city like Punta del Este, nor too small to support tourism in the off-season like Cabo Polonio. It was just right, and I enjoyed a few days of having the beach town to myself.
My last stop in Uruguay was the historic city of Colonia, which is a popular destination for daytrippers from Buenos Aires.
I'd heard Uruguay was expensive, but I was surprised to find that even in the off-season, the cost of travel is higher than Argentina.
More of Argentina
From Uruguay, I crossed back into Argentina and headed west to Rosario, which didn't do much for me. Cordoba was better, and I took a fun day trip to Che Guevara's childhood home in nearby Alta Gracia. His old house is now a museum.
After Patagonia, Mendoza was my second favorite place in Argentina. I took a regular wine tour, and later reviewed a bicycle wine tour too.
Fall was a particularly picturesque time to be there, and if I were to live in Argentina, Mendoza would be the frontrunner.
Chile & The Atacama Desert
The bus from Mendoza to Santiago offered excellent mountain scenery, and I'd recommend it over flying. I spent five days in Santiago, but the pollution was on par with what I'd seen in Hong Kong and China.
People complain about air pollution in Medellin, but it's not nearly as bad. Unfortunately, I left without experiencing the true natural beauty of the surrounding mountains.
The highlight of my stay was a visit to the Concha y Toro winery about an hour outside the city. I then spent a rainy weekend in Valparaiso, before flying north to San Pedro de Atacama.
The Atacama Desert's scenery was stunning, and it is without a doubt, one of my favorite new destinations of 2012. This is the desert where NASA goes to test their robotic rovers for missions to Mars.
Snow-capped mountains jutting up from the desert landscapes, and multi-colored lagoons were just a few of the scenes I saw. Plus, there are tons of activities on offer, from nightly astronomy tours to sandboarding.
Most backpackers arrange their trips to the Bolivian Salt Flats from Uyuni in Bolivia, but it's also possible to do so from San Pedro in Chile.
My 3-day journey from San Pedro to Uyuni was incredible. Sleeping at an altitude of 4,300 meters the first night left me with painful finger tips for the next week and a half, as my body couldn't adapt to the 2,000-meter altitude difference overnight. Surprisingly, I didn't suffer from much else, such as headaches or nausea.
In a rush to return to Peru, I'd only spend two weeks in Bolivia, when South America's cheapest destination really deserves a solid four to six weeks.
I made an ill-fated attempt at a mining tour in Potosi, the world's highest city, and attempted to bribe my way into San Pedro Prison in La Paz. I also missed out on biking the world's most dangerous road, and hunting for anaconda in the Amazon.
I'd love to see more of Bolivia some day, but I'm not in any rush to get back.
I returned to Peru via the longest bus ride of my life, from La Paz to Lima. Within a few days, I was suffering severe back pain, resulting in a few visits to an orthopedist.
Despite the bad back, I had a wonderful time spotting jaguars and other wildlife on a week long trip into the Amazon.
Back in Lima, unable to sit for long periods of time, due to the pain in my lower back, I didn't get much done.
The cool Winter weather, and the small micro-studio apartment I was renting, weren't conducive to writing. I spent time with friends, and managed to belt out my first karaoke song in Spanish (Colgando en Tus Manos).
My last stop on the continent was a brief two-week visit to Medellin. Upon arrival, I immediately remembered why I loved the expat life there, only now I had a much better idea of how it stacked up against other major cities in South America.
I spent my time catching up with friends, trying new restaurants like Carmen and Naan, the city's first Indian spot, and visiting the city's castle and zoo.
Recounting all these experiences, it's hard to believe they all happened within the first eight months of 2012. Check back tomorrow to see how I spent the final four months of the year.

Humorous Stories and Sketches by Mark Twain
This is a collection of some of Mark Twain's short stories. Until I got it in for school last year, I didn't know that he wrote short stories. And I wasn't exactly looking forward to reading this - I'm not a big short story fan. It has to be really really really good. However, when I started it, I was pleasantly surprised and found that I enjoyed most of the stories. Some I won't read again...Twain has never been a favorite author...but others were great and I'd love to read them at least once more.
The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County
The narrator asks a man named Simon Wheeler whether or not he could give him any information on a man named Reverend Leonidas W. Smiley; all he gets in return is a meaningless story about an inherent gambler named Jim Smiley who had a frog.
Journalism in Tennessee
A hilarious account of a journalist who moves to the south for the climate, and discovers that where he is working can be of no possible help to his health due to the ridiculous and humorous amount of violence that goes on between the journalists. (One of my favorites...it made me laugh sooooo hard! Totally unrealistic in the best of ways.)
About Barbers
The narrator gives the story of what happens every single time he goes to the barbers', and the extremely bad luck he has in getting a good shave. (Another favorite...highly reommended.)
A Literary Nightmare
What happens when you read an extremely catchy tune and find it stuck in your head for a couple days? The narrator of this story knows exactly the answer to that question - and only he knows the key to ridding yourself of the rhyme before it ruins your life forever. (The other favorite. LOVED this one.)
The Stolen White Elephant
The story of a man who was put in charge of Siam's White Elephant - and what happens when the elephant is stolen! A funny story of how one event leads to the other, and the detectives who tried to trace the elephant and what happened to them.
The Private History of a Campaign that Failed
This story is exactly what title describes: A funny tale of some soldiers who fail miserably at war in general.
Fenimore Cooper's Literary Offences
Twain's reasons to why Fenimore Cooper is not a good writer; he lists all the mistakes that Cooper makes in his works.
How to Tell a Story
Twain's thoughts and instructions on how to write a humorous story.
My favorite quote of this collection of stories is actually not from one of my favorites. It's from How to Tell a Story. "There are several kinds of stories, but only one difficult kind - the humorous. I will talk mainly about that one. The humorous story is American, the comic story is English, and the witty story is French. The humorous story depends for its effect upon the manner of the telling; the comic story and the witty story upon the matter." (Page 70) That statement is so true and puts a spin on the way you tell stories or write them - just had to share!
Anyways... This was a great collection. I wasn't expecting to enjoy it, but I was blessed with some great short stories. Definitely read my three favorites, if anything. (You can probably find them for free online.) :)
