Sunday. the day of rest, so said god. Mr. Magorium was fond of saying: "Sunday is not only the day of rest, but the day of clown shoes and bunny sneakers"
No one knew why he said that, but hey. Mr. Magorium often didn't know his own logic.
Katelynne was in again, and this time, I set a personal goal.
I wanted to kiss her.
Raise your hand if you think that's a bit much.
Wow. That's a lot of hands.
Oh well, even if I don't, then i'll still get to hang out with her.
Which is good...Right?
Oh crud, I just realized.
I have no idea how to kiss a girl.
That could raise some major problems.
I'm screwed.
When she came in, I was sweating.
Could I really obtain my goal?
Yeah, I probably could.
Then I saw what she was wearing.
It was a pair of jeans, and a purple tank top.
Purple was my favorite color.
She came closer, and I got a good look.
She had curves.
I gulped.
I so couldn't not do this anymore.
So in a word, I chickened.
A chicken is my Zodiac animal.
Wait, now my mom is saying that thee isn't a chicken zodiac.
Well, if it were a Zodiac symbol, that's what I would be.
Thirteen years old and still a chicken.
Bok Bok Bok.
I do a pretty good impression.
Chapter three!! please review!!!

Auto Pawn
Receiving The Money You Require If You Want It
Have you been looking for a loan? Will probably be your credit fewer than perfect? Thankfully, there are ways to get the loan you will want. A Auto Pawn is usually a great option if you require emergency cash, but have no other resources. Please read on for information linked to Auto Pawn.
Should you be considering a shorter term, Auto Pawn, tend not to borrow any further than it is important to. Auto Pawn should only be employed to help you get by inside of a pinch but not be utilized for extra money through your pocket. The interest rates are so high to borrow any further than you undoubtedly need.
Once you get the initial Auto Pawn, request a discount. Most Auto Pawn offices give you a fee or rate discount for first-time borrowers. If your place you should borrow from does not offer a discount, call around. If you locate a discount elsewhere, the financial loan place, you would like to visit will probably match it to obtain your company.
Poor credit does not necessarily exclude you Auto Pawn. A lot of people who can use a Auto Pawn don't bother because of their poor credit. But, many lenders will give you loans if employment is often proven.
All Auto Pawn agencies aren't created inside of a similar way. Before making a choice to select a lender, do a comparison together with other companies. Researching companies could help you save a lot of money later and help you easily fulfill the terms.
It's always vital that you research different companies to find out who will offer you the greatest loan terms. There are actually traditional Auto Pawn businesses located across the city and many online too. These places all need to get your company based upon prices. Many will also provide you a deal if you have not borrowed before. Check all of your options before settling with a lender.
Make sure you select your Auto Pawn carefully. You should think of just how long that you are given to pay back the money and precisely what the loan rates are just like before selecting your Auto Pawn. See what your greatest alternatives are and make your selection to avoid wasting money.
If you think you might have been taken benefit of by way of a Auto Pawn company, report it immediately to your state government. In case you delay, you can be hurting your chances for any type of recompense. Also, there are various folks like you that want real help. Your reporting of them poor companies is able to keep others from having similar situations.
Avoid getting in a never ending debt cycle. Don't receive a Auto Pawn and immediately get another. You have to end this horrible cycle when you have to quit some comforts. It is quite very easy to get caught in this trap when you don't take steps to stop it. You could wind up spending a lot of money in a very brief length of time.
In case you routinely use Auto Pawn to create ends meet, you might want to seek additional financial help or education. Auto Pawn could be bad for you when you don't utilize them the proper way, and it also could force you to lose a ton of money.
Several Auto Pawn companies have ratings with or are people in Better Business Bureau. Prior to anything official, talk to the BBB to find out types of reputation the organization has. In the event that a specific firm has complaints lodged against it, that you are well advised to come up with another company by which to get your loan.
Demand a wide open communication channel with all your lender. In the event your Auto Pawn lender will make it seem nearly impossible to debate the loan by using a individual, then you can maintain a bad business deal. Respectable companies don't operate by doing this. They may have a wide open series of communication which you could seek advice, and receive feedback.
When you find yourself picking out a company to acquire a Auto Pawn from, there are plenty of considerations to be aware of. Be sure the organization is registered using the state, and follows state guidelines. You should also try to find any complaints, or court proceedings against each company. Additionally it adds to their reputation if, they have been running a business for a number of years.
Borrowing a Auto Pawn means serious risk. Once you don't pay them off, your credit will be affected. Understand that you aren't getting free money from a Auto Pawn. It should be repaid eventually.
Shop around about any Auto Pawn before accepting it. It is usually the scenario that reputable Auto Pawn companies deliver the most competitive rates, so it will be always a great idea to find very good lender.
Think carefully about the decision to get a Auto Pawn. The rate of interest annualy on Auto Pawn may also be as much as 7 times the quantity you borrowed. You must know that you just pays much to borrow a bit. In case you desperately want the money, do it.
If you require a Auto Pawn for your bill you have not been able to pay as a result of deficiency of money, talk to those you owe the money first. They may enable you to pay late as opposed to acquire a top-interest Auto Pawn. In many instances, they will assist you to make the payments in the foreseeable future. When you are turning to Auto Pawn to obtain by, you can obtain buried in debt quickly. Bear in mind that you can actually reason with all your creditors.
Pay attention of anything holding things up if, your payday lending process takes in excess of a half-hour. This marketplace is so regulated, automated, and computerized that it is practically a science now. Any payday lending process taking more than half one hour should, probably be aborted in favour of another lender who knows whatever they are doing.
To spend less, try getting a Auto Pawn lender that does not ask you to fax your documentation directly to them. It is possible to fax paperwork to companies who allow it, but anybody who doesn't have their own machine could possibly be spending unnecessary money they can't afford to spend. This means paying anyone to five dollars for every single page to some local merchant; meanwhile, you can actually avoid that by discovering the right lender.
Auto Pawn can present you with money that you just can't get somewhere else. You don't will need to have good credit and you can now get the money quickly. Keep these guidelines in the mind, and you will be able to have the help you need and relieve your stress levels as well.

I've been listening to The Kiss Me Quick's erotica podcast for roughly five months, and in that time, I've heard Rose Caraway read everything from the dark and unsettling to the most joyfully pornographic smut you could ever hope to come across. It's a wonderful podcast, both in content and execution, which is why I was honored when Ms. Caraway asked me if I wanted to write a piece for an episode. The answer was an immediate hell yes.
The piece I ended up writing, a dark bondage fantasy called Bound / Unbound surprised me. I'd been toying with the idea for about 9 years but it never went anywhere. I even had an extremely shitty, ancient first draft, but I gave it up shortly after writing it because I felt unequal to the task, (I was a newbie then and in desperate need of skill and confidence). Even as a concept, it was unruly and stubborn, but when the KMQ came up, something made me dig it out.
Writing a piece to be read is different than writing a piece to be performed – it has to be a little tighter, a little leaner. It has to have a certain efficiency and punch because the ear can only process so much at one time. These limitations ended up imposing an additional structure on the work – one based on practical concerns like pacing, (there's kick-ass interstitial music), and tension. Those limitations, plus having a specific audience, (KMQ's Lurid Listeners), were the key.
You can listen to Rose Caraway's reading of Bound / Unbound here. There's even a fabulous short, "The Massage" by Lady Cheeky" from The Big Book of Orgasms to sweeten the deal, so check it out.
And finally, on a personal note, I just want to say thank you to Rose Caraway and the KMQ. I would never have guessed that 9 years later, my first rough, unformed little bit of erotica would be performed as an episode of one of the classiest productions there is. And if you aren't already heard the KMQ, get on over there and have a listen. You'll be happy you did.

The United Nations peacekeeping mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) on Tuesday began transferring detained former rebels who will be joining the Government army under a recent amnesty programme.
The 122 amnestied detainees are onetime members of the National Congress for the Defence of the People (CNDP), which fought a bitter war in the eastern provinces of North and South Kivu and are now being integrated into the DRC's national police and armed forces and a 2008 agreement ending the fighting.
"I am very pleased that this release and transfer of these CNDP members has finally occurred," Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's Special Representative Alan Doss said. "It's an important step in the right direction which will reinforce trust between the Government and the former rebel movement."
The mission, known by its French acronym MONUC, supported the whole process, verifying different lists, carrying out medical checks, escorting the CNDP convoy to the airport in Kinshasa, the capital, and flying them to Bukavu, the South Kivu capital, where the national military integration programme took over.

How to Use Social Media to Fuel Your Sales Funnel
The most powerful tool of internet marketing is the social media as it attracts millions of viewers every minute. Social media is not just about updates, friends, photographs and links, in this era of time it has a developed into a significant medium in the industry of online marketing. Marketing through social media is the best way to understand the demands and requirements of the public. However the difference in the perceptions of the marketers has aroused many questions about the significant importance of social media in internet marketing.
Marketing on Social Media – Boon or Bane
Some marketers believe online marketing through social media is a boon while others agree that it is a bane. The marketers who believe understand the value of social media and use it properly to advertise and promote their business online attracting thousands of customers as well as attaining huge return on investments. As for the later group, they lack the knowledge of efficiency of marketing through social media and hence fail to use it to gain return on investments. More often people are just access social media as a part of their personal habits unaware of the fact that it's beyond friendly interactions and has more important and exclusive features. However it is essential to understand the proper use of social media for promotion and huge return on investments.
Concentrate on Content Marketing
Social media does not sell products or in other words it does not act as a shop. However it helps in the promotion of the brand, products, services and company's identification through pages and communities. Social media can be utilized efficiently by interactions among the people about the brand and the products. Concentrate on content marketing as suggested by initiating and involving in various conversations with group of people. These activities will lead to the reception of ideas and opinions and expand the scope of improvement and generate profit.
The work of the marketer is almost done if the large number of audience turns themselves into subscribers and follows each update of the product and company's services away from the social media. Through emailing various newsletters and inviting the fans to the webinars would increase their knowledge as well as interest in buying the product and availing the services frequently. This is the core step to increase sales of the business through providing the customers wider platform of transparency of the services and quality.
Inspire the Audience to Attend Webinars
Converting webinar attendees into customers is an easier approach to increase sales as marketers who have effective traits are capable of converting large percentage of attendees into customers. With every webinar, the number of customers increases increasing sales simultaneously. With the help of social media software programs one can attract new followers after seeding the content.

Focus on selling content to boost sales. Sounds good to me Claudia 😉
Being social means bringing value to the table. Teach people the benefits of your offering. Teach people how to, or why to, in regards to your product or service.
Once you stop preaching and start teaching the real social media magic happens. Each successful SM marketer knows value is the best sales tool in your arsenal. Bring value to the table through helpful content, become valuable in the eyes of your target audience.
Thanks for sharing Claudia!

Hey Shameem,
Excellent tips to boost sales through social media. My personal observation says is that you need to market these products after personally reviewing them. Higher it sounds like personal review, higher will be the chances of boosting sales.
Thank for your share tips. I like it.

Former prime minister Basdeo Panday has said the political system in the United States shows us that "the head of State should be directly elected by the people,".
Commenting on Wednesday on the re-election of Barack Obama as US President for a second term, Panday said he had long been calling for constitutional reform in this country so the people can be given more power.
"Our Constitution is in bad need of reform, if there were an election tomorrow, one party comes in and the other out and we carry on as we have in the past 50 years and the people will be without power.
The politics of race which I see certain members of this Government trying to promote again will continue," he said.

@Rob Stevens, Yeah, I fell instantly in love and my plant cost a tenner for 2lt pot.
I would normally balk at such a cost, but it is a heavy plant and read that they are slow from seed and I never resent a nurseryman his dues if its a plant that needs extra attention.

We went down to our local Wyevale garden centre yesterday (yes, it was raining heavily again). (This is the one in Thornbury which got into trouble a few years ago for killing robins.)
BH and I are both absolutely staggered at the price of some of the perennials. £7.99 for small hostas!! £6.99 for small geraniums!! Kicking myself as I've been throwing better plants away! I cannot understand how they can justify these prices. Nor can I understand who pays them - these are very simple plants to propagate.
08 May 2012 22:55
08 May 2012 23:08
I think 3.99 is the most I have paid for a plant, I either get very small plants, reduced ones, seeds or scrounge cuttings from my parents. I think there is a group of people who just buy plants for instant effect. My neighbours bought 4 box balls at 30 quid each, planted them badly and I had to just watch them die. But these are the people keeping GC's in business.
You can see how poundland have become a sensible place to buy plants.
08 May 2012 23:26
B&Q are supplied by a company called Verve, its now on all their labels.
They do three tiers of plants, small job lots such as buy two 1Lt pots for £5, a middle 2Lt pot for £8-10 or the semi mature versions that cost £25-30 or upwards.
Over the last few years I've found actual garden centres to be the priciest places to shop, stocking worthy plants but with that plastic commercial smile I don't like. I would always support a local nursery purely because its a small business, likely to be family run and I've always found them to be honest and helpful. A few years back we bought some mature plants knocked down and even got free delivery!.
At the moment both the above are out of my walking distance to get to, so B&Q is my only supplier and whilst the advice is mind blowingly bad and the plants are mass produced with a bit of a gamble as to cultivars, I still find them okay. The plants are always healthy with a good variety to cater to most tastes. I think the prices are pretty reasonable especially if you go at the end of seasons when they are reducing plants that are going over. I love sniffing around the half price trolley!
My only complaint would be the labelling and not just missing labels like today, but the information they give you is poor. Last year's purchase of Callistemon leavis is currently sitting in a pot cut back hard after it turned brown post snow. I dug it up with the intention of dumping it on the customer services desk because the label did not mention it being tender at all, only the base was not dead, only its top growth. so I cut it back hard (apparently they recover from this as its like a bushfire) and stuck it in a pot to look after it better, but if the label had warned me, I wouldn't have bought it in the first place.
09 May 2012 06:56
If you want to buy over priced plants-visit Wisley-there prices beat everyone elses but not in a good way.
Am going to B&Q this morning-it is 10% off day-does anybody want anything?

You will be relieved to hear that I managed to leave Dubai and am now in Melbourne at last. I was so keen not to miss the flight this time that I went and sat outside the departure gate an hour before it opened. There is a tram stop outside my hotel but I quite like the distant dinging noise they make, it's like the sound you hear from boats moored in a harbour,
Getting back to gardening.......I usually grow runner beans and french beans. Each year I toy with the idea of giving up on runners because they have loads of flowers which don't turn into beans whereas every french bean flower turns into a bean. It is nice to have both though.
This year I am growing a variety of dwarf french bean with purple flowers for a change but can't remember what they are.
We've got a large number of GC's just around where I live for some reason. I only buy plants in Wyevale from the reduced section. There is a lovely local independent nursery which has plants at a much better price. They also have a v nice cafe with home cooked food which is always well worth a visit.

09 May 2012 09:31
I know I 'm going on about this but my wife liked the look of their bedding ("dwarf") dahlias. A snip at £3.99 each!! Even worse is the fact that they were in flower, so anyone taking them home and planting them straight out would have dead or dying plants within the week. A packet of 60 seeds costs, what, £2 - £3? And again, dead easy to grow.
You can probably tell I don't go to Garden Centres much!!
We've been given some tickets for Malvern on Saturday - I may have a stroke!

KG so relieved to hear you have arrived safely, we have been worried.
figrat you seem to have a good selection of GCs etc in your area, I can get to at least 8 different ones within 10 minutes, so many rescue sections to check out
Excitable Boy great news about the tickets, hope it is dry on Saturday. I agree about the seeds, as I mainly grow from seeds, but last summer I found some of those dahlias in the reduced section for £1 and I succumbed
Very damp here today so it may be ironing and packing. Geoff can you pick me up a roof rack and bin the beige, be bold wear pink even fuchsia.
09 May 2012 11:15
Back from the beige day
Got the wood I went for and did that fateful thing of looking at the plants and the reduced section bought 2 packs of 12 petunias-one down to a £1 the other down to £1.50 less the 10%and another 25p off--now will have to sort them into the sick-bay.
Kate-your request came to late-and also I have to blend in-in hindsight I should have gone back to the fuschia

In Reply to: loader question for 1957 IH400 posted by maxwell99 on November 28, 2012 at 20:59:57:
One from a farmall 300 would work on a farmall 400 or 450. Parts that mount to the frame rails may need adjusted or modified to work due to the width difference in the frame rails between tractors. Hydraulic pressure should be close to the same for both tractors. 400 tractors are considered low pressure hydraulic tractors. You can check the pressure at a port, but if low it won't pinpoint the cause without more checking. Lots of old 400 tractors will show a pressure between 1000 and 1150 PSI when hot if you are lucky. 1250 psi or a little higher great. If the loader has cylinders for the hydraulic pressure used you should be able to use it. Like said if it worked okay on a 300 using the IH engine driven pump it would work on a 400 or 450. If it used a pto pump or other type pump, maybe not.

UHV baseball falls to Wharton County JC, 2-1
April 10, 2013 at 9 p.m.
Updated April 10, 2013 at 11:11 p.m.
The Glenn Sparkman who arrived at Wharton County Junior College from Ganado bears little resemblance to the pitcher who took the mound a cold, windy Wednesday at Riverside Stadium.
Sparkman was "a little short and stubby" when he redshirted as a freshman.
But Sparkman, who is now a sophomore, stands 6-foot-2 and weighs 185 pounds and pitched a perfect inning against UHV, striking out two of the three batters he faced.
"It was just work out and run," Sparkman said. "I just focused on baseball and put everything into it. Really putting a lot of time into my bands and weighted balls just so I can gain a few miles per hour here and there, and it's paying off."
Sparkman's pitches have been clocked in the low 90s this season, and he has already signed a letter of intent with Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.
But he's hoping to attract the attention of major league scouts.
"My goal is to get drafted in the top 10 rounds," he said. "You never know how it's going to work. I just keep striving higher and trying to get there."
Wharton County captured a 2-1 win over the Jaguars and improved to 18-22 on the season. The Pioneers outhit the Jaguars 6-5.
Wharton County used seven pitchers, including Bay City graduate Kevin Landgrebe, who started and went two innings.
Under National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics rules, the game does not count in the standings for UHV.
The Jaguars sent 10 pitchers to the mound, and coach Terry Puhl substituted frequently.

Demis Maryannakis, PacificCoastNews.com
And Jennifer Hudson was telling you she was not going...but not everyone got the message.
The hitmaker claimed "major production issues" were the reason she was unable to appear at Saturday's Michael Jackson Forever tribute concert in Cardiff, Wales, letting down some fans in the U.K. who had hoped to hear her celebrate the late King of Pop's life.
So what's the story?
Hudson took to Twitter Saturday before the event and told her followers that she wouldn't be participating in the show after learning that producers had failed to put out the word themselves.
"To my uk fans that were coming to the mj show in wales. I will no longer be attentding due to major production issues," the Grammy and Oscar winner tweeted, before adding, "I would have thought they would have informed you all by now, so since they did not , I am. Thank u for your support."
Per the Chicago Sun-Times, Hudson's camp claimed organizers did not give the singer-actress enough time to rehearse the number she was expected to perform, although other entertainers on the bill such as Christina Aguilera, Ne-Yo, Leona Lewis and CeeLo Green had the same amount of prep time.
However a source close to organizers told the paper "there was something else going on" besides production issues that prompted the absence.
The tribute was emceed by Jamie Foxx and featured Beyoncé via video, Smokey Robinson, LaToya Jackson, three members of the Jackson Five (Tito, Marlon and Jackie) and Michael's three children. The event was not a sellout at Millennium Stadium. Approximately forty thousand fans turned out, which left the upper decks empty though the event was still considered a success.
It wasn't without controversy, however.
The concert divided members of the Jackson clan with Jermaine, Randy and Janet Jackson opting out because it was being held at the same time as the manslaughter trial of Jackson's embattled doctor, Conrad Murray, who's charged in their brother's death.
In any case, Hudson's last-minute cancellation angered producers who are reportedly demanding she return her six-figure paycheck.
No word whether she intends to do so.
Hudson wasn't the only act to bail out. The Black Eyed Peas pulled out last week citing "unavoidable circumstances," though they didn't elaborate.
Update Oct 12. 2011: Hudson's publicist denying reports that the singer took money despite not participating, noting that she did not receive the materials she needed in time to prepare for the performance and didn't expect to be paid.
"In the last few days, it has been written that our client, Jennifer Hudson, has been paid by the producers of the 'Michael Forever' event for a performance that she did not give. Ms. Hudson has not received any amounts in connection with the 'Michael Forever' event," Hudson's rep, Lisa Kasteller, told E! News.

Today, the economic crisis is sparking a familiar fear and sense of despair across America; one fueled by a nationwide credit crunch, a wave of foreclosures, and an extreme downturn in consumer confidence. Seventy-nine years ago, on October 29, 1929, the Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted, losing more than $14 billion in value in just one day. The crash would lead Americans through sixteen years of economic turmoil, and today remains the biggest financial crisis of the 20th century.
In the "roaring twenties," while the stock market was rising, there were few critics. It was a "New Era" when everyone could get rich. Leaders of Wall Street such as Charles Mitchell, President of the National City Bank (which would become Citibank), stock specialist Michael Meehan, and Jesse Livermore, a Wall Street insider, found new ways to manipulate the stock market and grew incredibly wealthy, helping create the economic boom of that fabulous decade. Their success made them folk heroes of the day. The upward climb of the market seemed limitless. But in October of 1929, the market plunged downward taking with it the finances of the Wall Street titans and everyday investors alike.
"There are many parallels between today's situation and the burst of the 1920s economic bubble," says AMERICAN EXPERIENCE executive producer Mark Samels. "There's a lot to learn here about the cyclical nature of the economy."

I have a radeon HD X2600 Pro AGP, and I just recently got Hardy. I'm trying to get desktop effects to work.
First I tried the restricted drivers, and they worked, except that the computer froze a lot, and I had to force it to reboot to recover.
Then I tried EnvyNG, and it works a lot better, but for some reason it seems to have slowed down my USB by a lot, and it still crashes every now and then.
Does anyone have any experience with this card, or advice?

New Orleans Won the Lottery: Nevermind the Conspiracy Talk, This Is a Good ThingMay 31, 2012
When the New Orleans Hornets won the 2012 NBA Draft Lottery on Wednesday night there were a lot of people screaming conspiracy.
I'm not going to be one of them.
In a season where people spent weeks and even months discussing the value and morality of tanking, the Hornets being the team to land the #1 pick is a good thing.
While the Charlotte Bobcats had the greatest chance of landing the top pick after digging themselves into a hole of despair all season long, it was the Hornets who struck gold. After losing franchise player Chris Paul at the beginning of the season, Monty Williams refused to quit or allow his players to surrender to the situation they were in. Undermanned and outmatched just about every night that they hit the court, New Orleans played hard each possession, every night.
While there were more losses than wins and no one wants to talk about moral victories when earning a pay check to procure the real thing, Williams and his coaching staff found a way to turn each game, half and possession into a teaching opportunity with the potential to turn into more.
It seems fitting then, that in a league filled with teams believing that losses had become more important than victories in their hopes of finding the shortcut that would lead them to an Anthony Davis, Williams stayed the course and will be rewarded with Davis next season.
This works out for Davis, too. He'll get to play his rightful position from the jump. He'll learn from a coach who values defense and demands it. Williams has to be salivating at the opportunity to have a player like Davis in his system. While the Hornets still have work to do, they've got pieces. They showed all season long that they have heart. Now, after the results of the lottery, they also have an abundance of hope.

from The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 4th Edition
- Bartolommeo, Fra Originally Bartolommeo di Pagolo del Fattorino. 1475?-1517. Italian painter of the Florentine school whose works include The Vision of Saint Bernard (1500-1507) and Madonna della Misericordia (1515).
Sorry, no etymologies found.
It claims that circumstantial evidence the lack of any mention of Giovanni's birth in the records of the Florentine Verrazzanos and the marriage of a certain Giovanna to Allessandro di Bartolommeo da Verrazzano in 1480 at Lyon points to Lyon as Giovanni's probable birthplace.
Meeting him in the corridor, which leads to the chambers of the Signory, they took a few turns together discoursing of his office, when being close to the door of the apartments in which the assassins were concealed, Bartolommeo gave them the signal, upon which they rushed out, and finding
Bartolommeo having therefore resolved to murder him, concealed in his own apartment at the palace several young men, all armed; and Baldaccio, entering the piazza, whither it was his daily custom to come, to confer with the magistrates concerning his command, the Gonfalonier sent for him, and he, without any suspicion, obeyed.
Bartolommeo were extreme, so that of all things he wished to avenge himself, thinking, with the death of his accuser, to efface the stain upon his character.
Analogous ideas were expressed by Matteo Palmieri in his work Della vita civile (ca. 1440) and Bartolommeo de 'Sacchi in De optimo cive.
Florence in 1488 by Bartolommeo di Libri, and in three of his subsequent books, once at Rome early in the 16th century, after which it disappears altogether.
Catalogue of the William Loring Andrews Collection of Early Books in the Library of Yale University
He visited Cremona about the period when his father died; in which year he appears to have acted as god-father at the christening of his brother Joseph's son Bartolommeo.
Bartolommeo, and the beautiful fresco by Angelico.
Bartolommeo della Porta (d. 1517), the best collection of whose works is in this convent.
I do not agree with Vischer in seeing the hand of Bartolommeo della Gatta in the angels.

New and Selected Stories
Skidmore College English professor Steven Millhauser has published 12 books within the last 35 years, including the Pulitzer Prize–winning Martin Dressler: The Tale of an American Dreamer (1996). One of his short stories, "Eisenheim the Illusionist," was adapted into the 2006 film The Illusionist.
The Story: In this new collection, which contains 7 new and 14 previously published stories, ordinary lives take a baffling and decidedly bizarre turn--often to frightening extremes. In "The Slap," a town is besieged by a mysterious, serial face-slapper, and a sprawling, big-box retail store threatens to swallow a town whole in "The Next Big Thing." The title story, also new, is a disquieting account of a haunting as narrated by the ghost. Old favorites such as "The Barnum Museum," "Eisenheim the Illusionist," "The Knife Thrower," and "The Wizard of West Orange" are also included. Each story illuminates the shadowy spaces where nightmares converge with daylight and the strange and the ordinary collide.
Knopf. 400 pages. $27.95. ISBN: 9780307595904
Columbus Dispatch
"We Others is his first volume of 'new and selected' stories, and it's a model of how a type of book that is sometimes used to eke out a few new stories into a full volume really ought to be done. ... The volume as a whole works both as an introduction to Millhauser's work for new readers and as a reminder to those familiar with him of the worlds he's capable of creating." Margaret Quamme
Globe and Mail (Canada)
"The reader flips one page, then the next, with a growing awareness that things are not unfolding as expected. Yet even as things turn stranger and stranger still, the reader finds herself propelled compulsively on the frictionless grace of Millhauser's prose. ... These collected stories are by turns haunting, hilarious, absurd (in the best way), enigmatic and wondrous." Patrick Lohier
Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Working in an elegant, plainspoken style, he conjures ordinary worlds that are stalked by strangeness. ... Blending the eerie and the true is Millhauser's hallmark; at every turn he reminds us of how eager we are for a sense of magic in our lives." Mark Athitakis
NY Times Book Review
"Millhauser is the master of what might be called the Homeopathic School of Fantastic Writing: just the barest tincture of strangeness, eyedropped into the body of an otherwise mimetic story. The payoff for this withholding of weirdness can be a reader's intensified complicity in defamiliarization: a sensation of slippage into the unreal just as we know it ourselves, from our dreams and fantasies." Jonathan Lethem
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
"In stories ranging from historical to modern, magical to realistic, serious to satiric, his readable yet masterful prose style slowly but inevitably weaves narratives that work their way into your consciousness and remain long after you've turned the last page." Dale Singer
San Francisco Chronicle
"So while these stories don't aspire to the pleasures and agonies of a dramatic narrative--the tales of change within a comprehensible world that children ask adults to repeat for the same reason it comforts babies to be swaddled--they do aspire to that other moment of childhood: You were alone in the dark, your imagination demanding, What if ... and then what if ... and then what if? ... He proposes that the reason most of us tried to put aside the infinite fantasy world we once inhabited was that it finally brought us to an abyss, and we were afraid." Salvatore Scibona
Washington Post
"Like his illustrious antecedents (and such near contemporaries as Russell Hoban, Angela Carter, John Crowley and Michael Chabon), Millhauser calmly mixes fairy tale and literary experiment, surreal nightmare and ecstatic vision, gorgeous prose and sly humor. But he also adds a profound Americanness. ... Most impressively, though, he skirts the real danger of sentimentality through an iron control of tone: Millhauser's voice on the page is cool, reserved, profoundly courteous." Michael Dirda
Critical Summary
Millhauser, who has drawn comparisons to Borges, Calvino, and Kafka, has again done what he does best. Subtly distorting his meticulously crafted, realistic worlds with hints of the bizarre, he leads readers down a seemingly well-worn path that quickly becomes overgrown and chillingly unrecognizable. His stories--both old and new--epitomize the definition of the uncanny, "that moment when the homey or familiar suddenly swerves into something rich, strange and menacing" (Washington Post). His dispassionate descriptions of the fantastic, rendered with sly humor in graceful, understated prose, facilitate one's suspension of disbelief while intensifying the creepy atmosphere he's conjured. Exploring the ephemeral nature of reality and the power of the imagination, the stories of We Others will surely entertain and terrify.

Catch-22Audiobook CD - 2008
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
One of my favorite novels. A classic!
I had a hard time starting this in book form, so I decided to try the audiobook. I believe this book could have worked better as a novella, although I think the fantastic ending is earned in part to it's length. It is not an easy read, but it is easy to understand why it is considered such and important work.
The narrator is fantastic, maintaining different personalities and inflections for each of the characters in the large cast. Check it out. 4/5
I recommend this audiobook to anyone who enjoys satire, especially satire of military operations, formality, and the important things in life. The brand of humor may not be for everyone -- it reminded me of Men Who Stare At Goats or O Brother, Where Art Thou? It is very well written and superbly performed by Jay Sanders. The production quality on the CDs is very good; my only minor complaint is that the opening and closing music on each disc goes on for way too long.
This book repeats multiple parts of itself multiple times to the point of creating a huge urge in me to give up reading it. In fact, I'm not sure why I did read it all the way through.
Suddenly, with 30-50 pages to go to the end Heller turned it into one of the great books of the 20th century!
Stick with it. Yeah, it repeats and repeats way beyond what is necessary, but the events at the end make it worthwhile.
Wow I was so frustrated by the characters! I just wanted to slap half of them and just wake them up! I completely understand the phrase 'catch 22' now! Very unique book... everyone should read it at least once!

- An article that suggests reading on eReaders is slower than reading actual books: Reading a Book on an iPad or Kindle? It May Take Longer. The research sample size is quite small, though, and many commenters argued that they read faster on eReaders. I haven't used my Nook long enough to be sure quite yet. What do you think?
- A great blog post from Kiersten White about YA paranormal romance: You Can't Kill the Undead. The whole thing is worth reading, but it boils down to this: "YA paranormal romance takes that tendency toward idolization of the Other and legitimizes it, romanticizes it, and affirms to teenagers (and adults) that yes, love is hard or even impossible, but it's also worth it."

Is there anybody out there, really, who can replace Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft?
Eight years after she brought the daredevil archaeologist to cinematic life in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, Warner Bros. announced plans last week to reboot the franchise.
The new Lara Croft will have a tough act to follow. An exception to the videogames-make-lousy-movies rule, the original Tomb Raider grossed a whopping $275 million worldwide. But when fans weren't so thrilled with 2003's sequel, Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, Jolie moved on.
Now movie producer Dan Lin (Sherlock Holmes) is set to head the re-launch. He has not yet hired a scriptwriter, and with a director also nowhere in sight, casting likely won't begin for months.
To help get the ball rolling, we're nominating five actresses (including Summer Glau, pictured top right, opposite Jolie) who just might have what it takes to explore ancient ruins and shoot bad guys.
Vote for the various Croft contenders, and nominate your own, below.

We will take you to the cleaners! That was Milan's message to Rupert Lowe today. I personally think that Rupert Lowe's clothes aren't that dirty! (Terrible I know!)
Milan was furious after Rupert Lowe fired and attack on Milan, last Thursday. To read what Rupert said Click Here.
Milan has replied today and as you can guess he is not too happy with Lowe!
Mandaric told the Sunday Mirror: 'This is the final straw. As far as I'm concerned, Harry and the club are going to take Southampton to the cleaners.'
'Over the last few months he and other Southampton club officials have accused us of all sorts of things including dishonesty, gambling and illegally poaching a manager it turns out he was glad to see the back off.
'I want a refund on my money. According to him he sold us a dishonest manager who can't be trusted so I have to accept I've been completely conned and must be the world's most lousy businessman.
'I'll keep Harry as part of the compensation package because it's not his fault that he's a football man and doesn't know anything about rugby or hockey.
'Rupert Lowe's attack on Harry and Portsmouth is unwarranted and outrageous.'
Wow!! Click Here for blow by blow account.
Have your say in the forum I would love to hear what you have to say on this one! You too Southampton fans!

Wine of the WeekPosted by Fredric Koeppel under Wine of the Week
[2] Comments
A few nights ago, for dinner, I cooked the Salmon with Sweet Chili Glaze and Sugar Snap Peas that's on the cover of the April issue of Bon Appétit. The recipe calls for pea tendrils or shoots as the final touch, but visits to our two usual grocery stores did not produce such a thing, so I substituted broccoli sprouts, which didn't provide exactly the required note but did add a nice crunch and earthy flavor. You have to know when to improvise when cooking, n'est-ce pas? This dish was a hit! There's a lovely combination of flavors and textures, with that Asian sweet-and-sour contrast going on. It will become a standard item in my repertory. Here's a link to the recipe. I didn't take this photograph, but it represents mainly what my result looked like too, minus the pea shoots or tendrils. Image by Craig Cutler.
For the wine, I wanted something that would bridge these various sensations — sweet and sour, spicy and earthy — so I opened a bottle of the Hahn Estate SLH Pinot Gris 2008, Santa Lucia Highlands, Monterey County. The original winery of this enterprise, owned by Swiss-American Nicky Hahn, was Smith and Hook — first vintage 1980 — named for adjacent ranches in the Highlands. Hahn Estates, which owns 650 acres, now encompasses Cycles Gladiator, Bin 36, Lucienne, Copa del Rey (from Chile) and Huntington, which benefits a scholarship fund for higher education of children in Kenya. The SLH label is the newest effort.
The Hahn SLH Pinot Gris 2008 is made all in stainless steel to retain freshness, delicacy and clarity. Aromas of roasted lemon, lime peel and spiced pear are entwined with a gorgeous floral element in the form of honeysuckle and jasmine, infused with a hint of something spare and almost astringent. In the mouth, lemon and lime flavors offer nuances of peach and tangerine, along with, after a few minutes in the glass, slightly herbal qualities of celery seed and fennel. The appealing texture nicely balances soft, moderate lushness with vivacious acidity, while a trace of bracing bitterness enlivens the finish. Great with our salmon, or try with other spicy Asian dishes, or sushi or ceviche. Very Good+. About $20.
A sample for review.

I was talking to Bill Leigon from Hahn on his visit to London just last week, and we tasted the SLH Pinot Gris together. I hope that that part of the interview was before the camera memory ran out – but, either way, I agree with you it's an impressive wine, and would make a great match for the salmon dish.

Congrats to Hahn! Keep making great SLH wines. Cheers!

Großartiger Mix von DJ Scientist zum 1. Mai gestern. (via Blogrebellen)
"Keine Musik für Niemand" is a special full power funky rock set covering the indespensable, indisputable, yet overlooked "Agit-" and Polit-Rock genre with tracks by Lokomotive Kreuzberg, Fasia, Oktoberklub, M.E.K. Bilk, Ihre Kinder, and many others. The mix covers music from the 70s up to the early 80s, full of heavy breaks, undiscovered Krautrock gems and more.
The cover is a remake of the über-classic Ton Steine Scherben "Keine Macht für Niemand" ("No Power for Nobody") album artwork. I changed the title to "Keine Musik für Niemand" (No Music for Nobody) stating that most of the songs remained totally underground and spread only in the left wing radical scene – being too offensive and strange for most "normal" people.

You will not see JUSTICE.
Driving a day straight, with a few friends and we need to keep busy. I know the alphabet game and that is about it. Any suggestions?
Thom for sure.
Seen them live before and they sucked sooo bad. But because their albums are so dang good I'm willing to give them another chance.
This forum is the best one I've ever been on. Really informative and friendly.
Where else do you thread? or does this go year round?
Bush will definitely VETO this idea.
One of the worst ever, was Modest Mouse, touring for "Good News for People Who Love Bad News." I think their success went to their heads. They took like 3 minutes between songs.
So far Sanfran, Laguna beach,and that sushi place in hollywood sound mighty appealing. And the bushman, a memory that would last a lifetime.
Toe Jam and Earl!
Figured it out.
haha.good one.
I still can't do it.
So heading down to indio, on wednesday the 25th from Canada, a 24hr drive. As the date gets closer and closer I have decided to make plans. This is where 'you' come in. Because this is my first time...
Me and my friends are twenty one and we're just going to leave our unfortunate underaged friend in the car.
Don't worry we will leave the windows open a tad.
You say nothing about Canada in this Poll. We represent a fair number of Coachella'ers.
The Good:
Sufjan Stevens
The Decemberists
The Pixies
to name a few.
I saw simple plan in highschool at a local mall for free. I would never pay or be paid to see them again.
I would, if I could, but I can't. Someone out there must have the smarts and the resources to put together a Coachella podcast. Maybe one for each day. Its not like its illegal or something. Take...
Vancouver....well actually abbotsford. Driving down w/ 3 friends. Can't wait, first year. And this message board ain't making the wait any easier.
That sushi place sounds awesome. Definetly take your advice on that one. I'll be staying in LA before and after Coachella so anything attractions in the area would be a plus. I have been to...
My friends and I have four extra days around the festival and we're driving in from Vancouver, so we have a car. Just wondering what we should do with our extra time? Six Flags? Beaches?
What is the best concert that you've ever been to? And what made that concert so great?
I saw Radiohead when they were touring for "hail to the thief" which was obviously amazing!
One of my...
Fall Out Boy suck, big time. No thank you. Their new single is horrible.
But I guess it serves me right for waiting so long to grab a ticket.
Wow. You drive a hard bargain. I'll try my luck on ebay. Thanks for the offer.
Thom Yorke would be amazing.
I need one saturday ticket. If you got one let me know.

Drugs: A Day in the Death of Donny B. – 1969
Poor Donny B. … forever wandering the streets looking for that fix to end all fixes. Those around him, his family, people in the neighborhood, functionaries in the system, however, know what's in store … the degradation of junkie-life.
A surprisingly non-sanctimonious anti-smack film, this 1969 cautionary tale uses a docudrama motif underscored by a groovy soundtrack the kids can dig.
'A Day in the Death of Donny B.' makes for a thoroughly entertaining short.

Middlebury College gives itself a loophole in its plan linking tuition, room and board to inflation.
As more colleges send emails telling rejected applicants they have been admitted, some admissions officers share what they learned from their mistakes.
Some Princeton students push university to stop asking whether applicants have been convicted of anything. They say academe needs more people with experience in the justice system.
College Board will try new approach to essay, drop the penalty for wrong answers and work with Khan Academy to provide free test-prep. Some experts like the changes (or most of them), while others see a bid to catch up to the ACT.
One university says it has already begun denying admission to "risky" applicants over fears of how it would be rated under the Obama ratings proposal.
Large study finds nearly identical academic performance by students who submitted and didn't submit SAT or ACT scores at test-optional colleges.
Flagler admits that it altered test scores, grades and class ranks of new students, and a senior official resigns after he acknowledges making the changes.
Drexel University takes its bachelor's degrees and faculty to three community college campuses, an unusual move for a private university.
Admissions leaders gather to consider how to promote broader definitions of worthiness and more diversity in their classes -- all while dealing with the pressures of money and rankings.
After years of decisions that increased diversity but didn't help it in the rankings, Syracuse University might start caring again.

Eric decided to help his friend Ashlee donate to The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) for this month's Change It Up! program, where each month an employee chooses a worthy organization for which to fundraise and collect spare change.
After many of Ashlee's relatives were diagnosed with various cancers, she made it her duty to support LLS, the world's largest non-profit health agency dedicated to funding blood cancer research and patient services. The organization has invested almost $1 billion in research to advance therapies. According to LLS, their efforts have significantly increased the survival rate for many blood cancer patients since 1960.
Due to Ashlee's committed support to LLS, she has been nominated to participate in their 2014 "Man & Woman of the Year" (MWOY) fundraising campaign. MWOY is a friendly competition between LLS teams across America to raise money in 10-weeks (March 22 – May 31). Ashlee created the team "Never Give Up", after her family's motto. Her team's goal is to raise $100,000 within the 10-week period.
We are rooting for you, Ashley and Eric!
