10 thoughts on "The Blue Sword"
Feb 2018 reread for the umpteenth time with my real life book club One of my all time favorite comfort reads If you re wondering why YA fantasy lovers praise Robin McKinley and based on her recent novels that s a fair question , this book is one of the reasons The Blue Sword is one of those magical fantasies that I ve read times than I can count, and love beyond reason I also think this 1982 book has been a little bit forgotten over the years, at least if you re not a Robin McKinley fan, and that it beats most of what passes for YA fantasy nowadays It s certainly IMO much better than most of McKinley s recent works, so if you ve tried one of her later books and think she s not for you, you need to give this one a try Or The Hero and the Crown I recommend both without reservation This story is set in a fantasy world very reminiscent of British colonial era India in the 1800 s A young woman named Angharad, known as Harry to her friends, has traveled across the sea to the outskirts of this desert country, known as the Royal Province of Daria nope no echoes of the British empire here to join her brother at a military outpost Harry is tall and quiet and a little awkward and doesn t feel like she fits in, despite the fact that there are only a few unmarried women at this outpost and their company is in high demand at dances and dinner parties among all the young soldiers.But important things are afoot Sir Charles, the officer in charge of the outpost, is trying to negotiate with the Hillfolk, a nomadic desert people who ride magnificent horses BTW I love the intelligent, brave horses and cats in this book that s probably one of the reasons it s so near to my heart Corlath, the leader of the Hillfolk, is trying to get Sir Charles to commit the British army to help fight against a horrible magical horde from the north whose attack is soon coming In the process of negotiations, Corlath catches a glimpse of Harry, and his kelar, the magical power in his blood, insists that he kidnap her and take her with him to the hills So he does, not knowing why, but knowing it is necessary for some reason.So begin the adventures of Harry, as she learns to ride a Hillfolk horse, fight with a sword, and come to terms with the kelar that runs in her own blood as well as Corlath s She also needs to come to terms with her own heritage, her relationship with Corlath, and what her role will be in the fight against the inhuman Northern army.This story takes place in the same world as The Hero and the Crown, which is set in an earlier time but was written later, so you can read these books in either order And you should They both have a permanent place on my favorites shelf, for good reason In these early books, McKinley pulled me right into this magical world I felt like I was living and experiencing all these adventures with Harry and Aerin from Hero and the Crown I m just sad that there are only two novels, and a handful of short stories, that Robin McKinley wrote about this world.
This book proves once that standards for YA fiction have gone significantly down over the last 10 years You just rarely come by this kind of writing any The Blue Sword is an age old story of a young woman who after years feeling not belonging, invisible, and insignificant, finds her strength after being kidnapped by a mysterious Hill king who possesses magic powers Gradually she discovers an ancient magic inside herself, comes to terms with her abilities, acquires friends and love and a place where she truly belongs, as unexpected and unfamiliar as this place is to her.Yes, the story is familiar, but the sign of a real writing talent is to make it special and unforgettable McKinley certainly succeeds in it Her writing is flawless and sophisticated, the imagery of mysterious land of Damar is vivid the horse riding, the nomadic life style, the castle in the Hills I get shivers just remembering the tangibility of the descriptions , and the characters even non human characters horses, hunting cats are oh so well drawn I mean a SWORD in this book actually has personality than famed Bella Swan I just don t understand why this book is not better known these days or known as a hidden gem A vocabulary is too sophisticated, or not enough making out in it It makes me sad that books like this are so obscure and all kinds of trash sells millions of copies If I have to point any flaws in the book, I d say I wish the writing had a little intensity to it, or I would have loved to see passion in Harry, to see her unleash the power of her kelar onto a man she loves But this is a crazy fantasy of mine, there is no real reason to spoil a perfectly good story This is certainly not my last Robin McKinley book.
Added at the bottom the perfect song for this book Seriously, if it s ever made into a movie, this song should be in the trailer.The description on this book s GR page is not my favorite synopsis I think my little well loved paperback says it better This is the story of Corlath, golden eyed king of the Free Hillfolk, son of the sons of the Lady Aerin.And this is the story of Harry Crewe, the Homelander orphan girl who became Harimad sol, King s Rider, and heir to the Blue Sword, Gonturan, that no woman had wielded since the Lady Aerin herself bore it into battle.And this is the song of the kelar of the Hillfolk, the magic of the blood, the weaver of destiniesBecause easy as it is to think this book is just about Corlath and Harry, it s really not The kelar is a driving force, enough that I see it as a third main character It pulses through this book much as it pulses in the blood of our two protagonists, moving the story to its will, arranging events to suit its needs without much care for mortal feelings or objections.Therefore, while I understand how some might object to the fact that this story begins with Harry being kidnapped by Corlath, in a way they were both kidnapped Corlath himself is a prisoner, in a way, of the wild unpredictable magic he carries there s a reason, after all, that they call it the king s madness He no wants to take her than she wants to be taken, but the kelar needs her to be Damarian, so neither of them have a choice.Now, given that she s compelled and aided by something that powerful, Harry s entry into a new culture is remarkably easy, and this would be a problem if not for the fact that the point of this book is something entirely different It s a great adventure story, of course, but it s not about the adventure story It s about Harry finding her place in the world a classic coming of age From the first line of the first chapter, we know she doesn t fit where she is She is discontent, restless, hiding it under a mask of polite manners One might suspect, then, that once she s been accepted by the Hillfolk, she will be content, but that is not the case One of the things I love about this book is that Harry s critical decision, her defining moment, is when she chooses not to give up the part of her that is Outlander Because she reconciles two different parts of herself, instead of denying one or the other, she is capable of achieving her goals It takes courage to do that, and courage is Harry s defining trait She is, even when taken captive, determined not to show fear when she understands that the Hillfolk don t mean her harm but still have no intention of returning her to her people, she approaches new experiences with determination and a generally good attitude.One of the things that keeps me coming back to this book and its companion, The Hero and the Crown, is the land of Damar itself I think it s even vivid in this book than in the other, even though THATC showed it in its prime There, it seemed like a fairly run of the mill fantasy kingdom Here, seen in decline and through the eyes of a foreigner, it is astonishing and beautiful This is where the strength of the Damarian people and the richness of their culture really shines, because this is where we see them in duress They are proud, they are strong, they are noble and good hearted and graceful Their beautiful horses appealed to me when I was young and in that horse crazy phase every girl goes through, but now what calls to me is their sophistication Even though they don t have modern conveniences and seem like savages to the Homelanders who are, by the way, wonderfully British , they are not uncivilized in the least There is a wonderful nuance in how McKinley presents this instead of going the presumed savages are actually advanced special sophisticated than the invaders route, she makes them cultural equals in different ways Both civilizations have distinct advantages and disadvantages, and neither is presented as right or wrong While this book does somewhat deal with imperialism, it doesn t moralize, and the Homelanders are never villains simply because it s recognized that they are people too And then there s the relationship between Corlath and Harry Corlath, when we first see him, seems like an intimidating and powerful sort, and he kind of is But he s just as lost and confused, in different ways, as Harry is just as unsure how to deal with the situation they find themselves in He is not an unkind man, just an unsure one Some of my favorite moments in this book are his, including this one Long after Harry had cried herself to sleep again, the Hill king lay awake, facing the grief he had caused and could not comfort Or this He would help this girl now, as much as he might, stranger and thief as he might be to her He would do what he could view spoiler Their reunion, of course, tops the list Poor Corlath seems to have been so lost without her, and she so unsure of her reception that moment when she slides down from Sungold and hugs him is just gorgeous And then we get this intricate, gorgeous declaration of love from Harry My king, I would far rather you kept my sash as you have kept it for me in faith while I was gone away from you, and gave me your sash to wear in its place For my honor, and than my honor, has been yours for months past, but I saw no clearly than did you till I had parted from you, and knew then what it would cost me if I could not return And , I knew what it would cost me if I returned to be only a king s Rider hide spoiler
There never was a choice I ride the only way open to me, and yet often and again it seems to me I am dangerously unfit for it A penniless orphan of average beauty it starts like a bad romance, no WAIT FOR IT called Harry I DARE you not to think about Prince Harry s bearded face now is forced to leave her home in the England Homeland empire and accept hospitality of strangers in Damaria, a desert land recently colonised but still inhabited by mysterious nomad Hillfolk The opening chapter reminded me of Guns of the Dawn and I thought that that a very good sign indeed I was wrong The Blue Sword is a tale about a girl who mastered a language in three days, horsemanship in a week and fighting skills in little over a month And then she got a magic sword so she could save the world.Harry is outwardly unprepossessing, well bred young lady finding her place on the lower branches of a gentry tree in a Victorian like society but inwardly she is an unquiet spirit, yearning for an adventure In a properly British Homelandish manner, she finds herself intrigued by the savage locals and their barbarian yet, oh how sophisticated ways Especially the gift of magic kelar fascinates her Now, the Hillfolk have their own problems In the first place the gift wanes, their land has been colonised, and now a mortal enemy threatens to annihilate them When the British Homelanders refuse to get involved in someone else s war help, the King of the Hillfolk, under the impulse of his own magic, decides to abduct Harry Cliches ensue 1 A king whose diplomatic skill amount to a being kingly, b riding a red horse, c having a fancy tent, and d throwing a tantrum in the face of a potential ally when they are unimpressed by general threats and ominous foretelling Impressive, no We deal with a leader of people that have been conquered, by a benign power but nonetheless And what doe this king do He keeps his people separated not because the Homelanders are an oppressive force but because he fears a change most of all He says They would send doctors and farmers and seeds and plows and bricklayers, and within a generation his people would be as faceless as the rest of the Outlander Darians In other words, his faith in the strength and vitality of his own culture and traditions is next to nil and so he d rather perish than civilise 2 If you wonder why would an average charity case and a new arrival to the country be worth of breaking the law and potentially causing a conflict with a superior force, let me assure you that the answer is obvious TRIGGER WARNING special snowflake 3 Harry has a special cat and a special horse A couple of days and she is able to use present perfect and conditionals also subordinate clauses in a new language, after three days she communicates fluently, after a week she is able to discern semantic nuances There is also another language she just speaks due to her magic powers FOR THE RECORD, I have been living in the Czech Republic for half a year and I still am a source of mild bemusement for all my Czech speaking colleagues Last week I confused the word for lentils with the word for a cat and every time I try to pronounce something as innocent as 13 40 I make the world a better place by making people laugh 4 Back to Harry, Harry has magic, how could she not, and a sisterly bond with a legendary ancient queen This allows her to swing a sword like a pro after a month and ride a horse like she was born in a saddle She is also able to win special trials even though her tutor during six weeks of preparations does not tell her what to expect whereas other people train their whole lives in order to win 5 And then, when you think things cannot get cheesy, she gets a magic sword And needs to save the day battle plans so easy when compared to embroidery Or actually, the magic saves the day, because in this world magic is everything and can do everything and everybody dances to its tune Where is this fabulous world building I have been reading about in the reviews Homeland is essentially England down to St George and his dragon not only the name is similar but the whole culture is copy pasted with no additions whatsoever The enemy is a caricatural evil with no nuance to it They have always been evil, they have always hated the Hillfolk, they are dehumanised so that there are no doubts to the fact that they are bad and absolutely must die by the thousands Just the depth of this design might swallow you.My first warning should be the abduction scene The girl is kidnapped and nothing Not a reaction She just calmly cooperates and does not ask a single question like why or what do her captors plan to do with her I m not saying Harry should have fits, but from a strong minded heroine, and she is portrayed as one, I d expect at least something along the line of Unhand me this instant or Whatever you think you are doing sir instead she goes as meekly as a cow and didn t raise an eyebrow at being treated this way Then there is the writing style swords flickering with the colour of madness what is the colour of madness or a colour of exhaustion for that matter overuse of for for I kid you not it is used in every other sentence, smouldering gazes and in general a very descriptive style with loads and loads of telling The romance is so lame that my cat s love for the fridge has passion in it.I understand that some of the favourable reviews are sentimental ratings I have those too This is a vintage book and when it was released there might have been some magic to it For older readers, this might have been a gateway into the genre I get it Having said this, I cannot say that The Blue Sword aged well To the contrary Today it is a ridiculous and pompous read Unless you are in a mood for something spectacularly cheesy, avoid You may also read the prequel The Hero and the Crown
There are many out there who think The Hero and the Crown the better book, but I read The Blue Sword first and Harry is my one true love That s part of it I always liked the romance line better in The Blue Sword And there s something remarkable in that, because for most of this book the two are separated Yet I believe in their match unquestionably Alanna was my first girl with a sword and magic, Harry was the first one I felt was like me.
I ve read this book so many times over the year that this time I went out and bought a new copy because my cover is in tatters But I reread it again and loved it again, unsurprisingly McKinley still amazes me with how fully realized Damar is as a place, how familiar the Homeland and its desire to civilise feels, and how freaking scary the Northerners are Seriously, y all Motherfuckers are SCARY This is the perfect escapism book, partially because that s what Harry, our delightful heroine, ends up doing Sure, it may be a kidnapping, but through a massive case of Stockholm Syndrome, or through something in the water or, as the romantic view and of course the one I have would put it, fate, she finds a new, comfortable home in the deserts of the native Damarians And a sexy, sexy mentor in Corlath, the king of the Hillfolk, who forces his elite guard, the Riders, into accepting and teaching Harry She gains a completely AWESOME horse, Tsornin, who is better drawn than 99% of the humans in any given book And of course she gains a ghostly mentor in Aerin, who will later get her own book, the Newberry winning The Hero and The Crown.Her journey through this, and her ascension as damalur sol, Lady Hero, is the thing that makes this book so compelling Though how hot Corlath is comes in a close second She goes through culture shock, she goes through pain and difficulty and she ends up doing what she thinks is right despite risking ostracism from the first place she s ever really fit in She s a wonderful heroine in a wonderful story, and all I wish is that there were of Damar for us to experience Dammit, Robin McKinley
a pleasure to read.wonderful heroine reminded me a bit of Brienne from ASOIF although quite a different character overall I loved her nonchalant displays of bravery and independence, her easy acceptance of her own difference from others, her drama free perspective on the world s around her, her quiet and her calm.opening chapters felt distinctly like an alternate version of colonial era Britain interesting path into a high fantasy novel.best kidnapping ever I never feared for her safety and I liked that.McKinley is less of a stylist than I imagined but her prose is still liquid and lovely.there were some minor disturbing undercurrents for me but it was hard to put a finger on something about the blood is blood and the idea that a person can only truly be accepted in a culture when they have the blood of that culture that sorta bothered me, especially when combined with taboos around miscegenation with the Northerners happily, in the end, McKinley makes it clear with the acceptance of some Outlanders that this is not actually her perspective.short book just read it this morning the last 20 pages or so tied up all of the romantic elements so I kinda breezed through them the climax that happens before the tying up was pretty awesome this is not an action filled book but that brief clash between heroine and villain was really thrilling Narknon to the rescue speaking of Narknon, that cat and the horse Sungold were really wonderful characters strong personalities and so surprising to see a cat as a companion in a fantasy adventure yay animals are great
Re read for book club.I got this book when I was eleven, I believe, and that was the perfect age I have read this book so many times that picking it up again, after many years, was like hearing an old favorite song come onto the radio each phrase resonating clearly in memory, bringing with it emotional associations.So I can t claim to be wholly objective about the book I can say that if I has read it for the first time now, it would not have been as meaningful to me Interestingly, I re read the sequel to this book, The Hero and the Crown not so long ago When the sequel came out, I was mildly disappointed by it, but as an adult, I actually think that it holds up better over time.Part of this may be that while The Blue Sword is in many ways purely a romantic fantasy, it is also inspired by historical fact When I first read the book I did know about British Colonialism thanks, The Secret Garden but I knew nothing about the Anglo Afghan conflict, which the events here are based on It s jarring to reconcile the essentially uplifting story here with the bloody, nasty, reality Don t get me wrong, the book in no way endorses colonialism The problems and ethical issues are all acknowledged here but they re presented subtly, sometimes between the lines Our main POV character is Harry, a young woman who s been brought up in a certain type of society, and although she is an admirable person, her perspective on things is realistically limited by her experiences and what she perceives as normal I actually think that the presentation of the political issues is just about perfectly handled for an audience of preteens and young teens.The main focus of the story is not political, but is on Harry as a character In many ways, Harry is a Mary Sue a term that has been thrown around a lot over the past few years as a term of denigration I am pretty much opposed to that concept No, books with Mary Sue characters might not be delving into the sordid depths of the human character or aiming for a Booker Prize, but I think that they are a valid and important type of literature Sometimes, we need wish fulfillment Having a wonderful character to project yourself into can be incredibly valuable.Harry has always felt like an outsider in her stuffy faux British society, which sees her as wild and headstrong Orphaned, the responsibility for her lies on her brother, a soldier He s relieved to have an aristocratic couple posted overseas in the diplomatic service agree to take her in Harry is keenly aware of her position as a charity case but quickly finds herself falling in love with the new country she s been brought to It resonates with her on a deep level, and finally she feels that she might be somewhere that she belongs.However, her life is upended once again when the king of the hilltribes, Corlath, comes to the house where she is living on a diplomatic mission The mission might be a failure, but Corlath s kelar, his hereditary magic, recognizes Harry at first sight and insists that he take her as a hostage.Events unravel from there, and we see Harry progress from being a child, subject to the wills of others, to a person strong enough to do what she believes needs to be done, even directly in defiance of others wills And of course, to become a legendary hero and to save the day.The writing is wonderful I love McKinley s mix of down to earth, practical details and elevated, fantastic passages Another notable aspect is the depictions of animals both cats and horses feature prominently in the book, and are shown with a genuine love and affection The book also has a well balanced mix of action and romance It s a wholly chaste romance, but emotionally intense, and again, it s just perfect for a pre teen If you know someone in that age group, don t let them grow up without reading this
This is my first Robin McKinley book, though I do have a couple others in my possession that need to be read I wasn t really thrilled with this one though Up until about 50% I was liking it quite a bit, though I couldn t tell you why, because nothing at all had happened But it didn t take long or, rather, it took too long and I started to feel like the story would never actually start, and now that I ve finished, all I can say is that it didn t really do anything for me It seemed that everything was just a little too easy, a little too square peg square hole it fit together just too perfectly There s never a feeling of true conflict or danger that Harry will fail, because she fails at nothing at least nothing that she does after joining the Hillfolk Everything that she does, she s the best at Instantly or close enough to seem like it Learn a new language from the ground up Ain t no thang She s fluently translating in no time.Learn to ride a crazy big, amazingly bred, best of the best, super smart, intimidating war horse She s riding circles around her teacher in weeks Learn to sword fight after never having held anything bigger than a butter knife in her life She s winning competitions in less than 2 months Defect from the main army to defend an underrated weak flank point and command battles Got it in one day Need to drop a mountain range on your enemy 30 minutes 15 if you exclude travel time to climb to the top of said mountains I mean really I know that she s got this whole kelar magical insight guiding force thing But can t she be bad at something ANYTHING The fantasy itself was typical Nothing special, nothing really compelling or impressive, except that the main character is a girl who has an unknown ability that, unsurprisingly, comes into play all the time to benefit her at just the right times, without her having to do anything at all Sure, she has to swing the sword and ride the horse, but the magic in her makes her the best at it almost without even trying, and then all the really big stuff just happens by instinct There s nothing at all special or impressive about Harry aside from an accident of birth, but this book apparently thinks she s the greatest thing since sliced bread And the Northerners The mysterious danger that is such a threat that they are mentioned a handful of times in passing Aside from them being different , it s not until they are actually IN BATTLE that there s any kind of information given about why they are so dangerous or scary And again, most of that is that they are just different oh, and their leader is bloodthirsty and maybe part demon and their horses are double jointed KILL THEM WITH FIRE I guess what I m trying to say is that I found this book to be boringly predictable in the worst way The story progressed through trope check points like it was going out of style Outlander finds her true home with the enemy Check She becomes the best of the best of the bestest at everything Check.She inspires all the peoples and the beasties to love and follow her Check Saves all the things Check She gets the guy King Check.Bridges the gap between THEM and US Check Boring I also felt like the writing style itself was odd Sentence structures felt awkward and out of order, leading to this stilted kind of narration dialogue that felt too formal and too informal at the same time Maybe that s due to the fact that this book is 25 years old it s just dated, and feels like it I was hoping to like this book, but it was just disappointing in the end I hope McKinley s other books are better.
Robin McKinley s The Blue Sword blue me away What can I do for swords I don t know how to handle the feeling in a review I m in it to the hilt It s sheathed in my memory No, I got nothing Blue words Stop it, Mar Reading that someone likes world building and atmospherics doesn t really convey why I thought this was awesome so I won t try and be a normal reviewer for once McKinley knows what she s doing She s a master sword bater This is not a glorified fanfic All of those things are true I m not good at the basics I know why I loved this even though I ve forgotten a lot of the details I won t even try to get those down right because I ll be pre destined for failure Stop saying what you aren t going to do When someone says they aren t going to do something it often means that they are going to do exactly that It was the lay of the freaking land Community in the force that surrounds us and binds us Yoda shit And I believed it I m a sucker for this kind of stuff in stories cause that s when I get to dream it for myself McKinley was as good at that It s like the sword handle behind the story that made it much than a story Like when you re living the story in your head as you are reading and forget everything else If only all stories did this It really did matter to me if she found her place Harry didn t belong anywhere and then she falls in love with a life and beyond everything fall into place it s worth fighting for I already said that That s what I remember feeling That s why I beam at this book when I see it on book shelves You know I kinda wish that would happen to me, still I haven t forgotten what it feels like to want to get connected like that little green man with the glowing blue sword talked about.

the way pizza should be nice and this great tasting many different varieties to have some of the group had a fried egg on it and loved it
Had lunner with elderly mom and 10 yo son. Atmosphere classy traditional with just the right touch of modern. diverse staff, everyone we interacted with was professional...
We were lucky to get the chef's table, awesome view of the place, cozy in the right place.
Food had a homemade taste. Carpaccio was well served, Risotto was comfy food fit for a small entree. Mom had chicken parm, tasted as good as it looked.
Wil go again.
I have been to Carmines 3 times already and every time I go it's very enjoyable . the atmosphere is great they usually have live music every weekend and the restaurant venue is absolutely beautiful and very romantic. The food is very tasty and the service was excellent. Will definitely continue to come here to eat with my family and friends!
I had my company Christmas party at this location. The waiters the food was impeccable. The view was amazing. overall it was a great experience and would recommend carmines to my friends and family
I ate here with my family while visiting Miami this Christmas. I ordered the fried calamari and the spaghetti carbonara and they were both wonderful! The waiter was not very keen on when the waters needed to be refilled, but other than that the service was nice. The view was astounding and I was shocked at how well they transformed the area from what it used to be in the late 90's. I would definitely go again.
My fiancé and I had lunch here last week. It was my second time here and his first time. Our server, Tom, was excellent and very attentive to our needs! We had the bruschetta, the fried mozzerella, and a delicious spaghetti and sundried tomato dish that I'm having trouble recalling the name of...all the food was excellent! The pasta was al dente, everything tasted fresh and was well prepared. I love the atmosphere of the restaurant. The old music and the lanterns and green curtains really make the place cozy. It was only 2pm when we went but it felt like a date! I would always recommend Carmine's to any man who wants to impress a lady!
My boss had our Christmas party here and we all fell in love with this Italian treat. The decor was beautiful inside and outside and they had Christmas lights and ribbons in the outside patio. The hostess was very bubbly and sweet and seated our party of 60. We had the private elevated dining room which was great and we also had our own servers. The salads were portioned well, the stuffed mushrooms were tastey, and my Salmon was cooked to perfection with the most delicious sauce. The cocktail prices were reasonable and the service was quick and pleasant considering it was busy and we had 60 people. Oh, and don't forgot to try the Vesuvius cake! Would definitely recommend this place and will be back soon with my family!
I visited Carmine's for my wife birthday and I was very pleasantly surprise of such delicious Italian food right in Kendall .The service was fantastic,the view outside was absolutely beautiful ,and lastly the manager knew it was my wife birthday and they actually had a opera singer sing her a song (beautiful morning) it was a magical night indeed,highly recommend it.

The Beatles? Oasis? Tupac? All are questionable. But only one is definite. Danielle Bregoli. The Cash Me Ousside girl who is now making a ton of money from her elusive rap career.
Just last week she made headlines across the globe after being caught on camera in a bust-up with WoahVicky, another Instagram famous rapper or something, who should probably be revising for her exams. However Danielle, aka Bhad Bhabie, hasn't stopped at WoahVicky, now she's calling out the big guns.
Check out the video below:
Danielle Bregoli Shades Nicki Minaj
Danielle Bregoli may have picked her BIGGEST FIGHT yet, shading Nicki Minaj ? ?
Posted by TMZ on Wednesday, 18 April 2018
Speaking to TMZ, Danielle is asked how she feels about being nominated for Billboard's Best Female Rap Artist award alongside Cardi B and Nicki Minaj.
When asked if she thinks she's going to beat her two rivals, Danielle explains:
I mean, by being nominated I already won. Obviously Cardi's gonna win but she really deserves it and I'm just getting started so.
She then goes onto state that Cardi deserves it way more than Nicki, saying:
For sure. Cardi's way better than Nicki, I don't care what anyone says. Cardi actually says stuff. Nicki just has attitude, so what, wow, big deal.
Shots fired.
Bregoli has recently been in the news after it emerged she had became a millionaire thanks to a less-than-extraordinary foray into the music industry.
Hollywood Life reported last July that she was earning $50,000 per show after signing a deal with Live Nation.
She also makes wonga through 'endorsements' and YouTube, a site by now we all know to be an absolute goldmine.
In a brief interview with TMZ, Bregoli explained 'I only spend my money on nails and eyelashes.' Fair enough to be honest. Quite a smart move. Let the money build and treat yourself later on in the game. It's tough out there.
Not everyone thinks she's sensible, however. Take her dad Ira Peskowitz, for example. He has spoken about his battle to gain custody of his daughter in order to save her from a 'downward spiral'.
Ira, a police officer in Florida, has been paying child support for the last 13 years whilst constantly battling with Danielle's mother Barbara for more involvement in his daughter's life.
Since Danielle appeared on the TV show, her mother has taken her from Florida to Los Angeles, and signed her up to the same agent as singer Pitbull, with apparent hopes for a reality TV career.

Ira's close friend and representative Elliot Cohen said to UNILAD:
This isn't something new for Ira, a lot of people are talking about how he's some Johnny-come-lately dad. Ira's been trying to help Danielle and get back into her life for years, long before Dr. Phil.
Danielle's mother has really blocked this at every turn, she's really been the obstacle for Danielle getting the help she wants.
If he has to go to court, he'll do it, but this isn't new for him. He's been paying child support for 13 years, it's just new to everyone else because of Dr. Phil.
If you have a story you want to tell send it to UNILAD via [email protected]

Website back up and running
Hello all - a quick update for the website, as it's been a while and some things have changed!
MilkyTracker's website has now been moved over to GitHub Pages alongside the source code, so that it's easier to update and so that we don't risk losing access to it any more. Unfortunately, our previous domain at http://milkytracker.org has been lost and the owner is unwilling to co-operate with us in having it point to the correct location.
Thankfully, our friends at TiTAN have given us a new subdomain, so please update your bookmarks to http://milkytracker.titandemo.org.
If, for whatever reason you are unable to reach us at the above address, http://milkytracker.github.io should always point you in the right direction.
Meanwhile, Deltafire and I have slowly been preparing a new release! If you can't wait for the binaries, please feel free to check out our pending branch over at GitHub.

Anaconda-Gold is a revolver pistol variant of Anaconda.
The Anaconda-Gold doesn't have any big differences with its basic variant (Anaconda). This variant of Anaconda have a golden skin in its body, and brown-and-black grip. It still features an excellent accuracy, slightly higher damage than basic Anaconda, fast reloading speed, higher magazine capacity, but still low firing speed. It's able to kill the target with 2-3 shots in the body.
- CF West
- CF Philippines
- CF China
- CF Korea
- CF Vietnam
- CF Russia
- CF Brazil
- Because the Anaconda-Gold is simply texture reskin, it's illogical that they have many rounds per-magazine since the cylinder still shows 6 shots when reloading.

Teachers saying "Bon Voyage" Shs
As the school year comes to a close, many teachers have given their recognition.
Spanish teacher Christina Schroeder is leaving and going to Beatrice because her husband got a promotion from his job.
"The hardest part when I first started here was being new and not knowing anyone. I am proud of how far the Spanish Department has come since I started here, especially putting in a new curriculum and adding new ways of testing," Schroeder said.
One thing she will always remember about SHS is the diversity in the students' personalities and the fact that the students are really personal and caring.
English teacher Allison Areeda is also leaving. Areeda is getting married and is mov ing to Longmont, Colorado and will be teaching language arts at the middle school, while she finishes her master's degree.
"One thing I look forward to when it comes to leaving SHS is shifting my energies and priorities from establishing a career foundation to a marriage foundation," Areeda said.
She looked forward to building her own classroom community after co-teaching with Elena Garcia.
"The hardest thing when I first started here was learning to curb my outspoken political commentary. The easiest part was making lasting, meaningful relationships with the staff of SHS. One thing I will always remember about SHS is how brilliant, powerful, and kind the students are," Areeda said.
Math teacher Morgan Wilken is also leaving to be closer to her family.
She will continue to teach math in Norfolk High School.
"One thing I looked forward to when first starting here was pushing myself and learning from lots of different people.I hope I helped kids in some way, not just in math but in their life, especially if they are going through something. I loved the fact that I got to teach Ag Math because that was part of my childhood when I was younger," Wilken said.
V.P. Dr. Andrew Dick is also leaving. Dr. D taught at Park Middle school in the Lincoln Public school district and was at the middle school as an administrator for 9 years.
Dr. D will be the head administrator at ESU 13 in Scottsbluff.
"I will always remember and appreciate the students, the highly skilled and dedicated staff, and the changes and advancements in our facility and programming. I will also remember the talent of our student body," Dr. Dick said.
Most of these positions have been filled, the Spanish position by Vanessa Cardona. The math position has been filled by Christina Hays and a new assistant principal of academic programming by Kelli Jensen. The 9th grade academy Special Education Position was filled by Bill Moore.
These are all the positions that have opened and closed this school year and more will most likely open before the end of year.

I am trying to export the obsolete nodes(filespace and all) so that
I can free up some space on tsm server. The problem is I am low on scratch
volumes where these nodes reside. Am I correct to think that I better have
sufficient scratch volumes available before exporting the obsolete nodes as
the scratch volumes will be used up or will more volumes be readily
available to convert to scratch once I set the export nodes in motion?

RV Parks Act as EV Charging Hot Spots
RV parks have found themselves at the forefront of the EV charging market. With a ready supply of 50 amp, 240-volt charging stations meant for powering parked RVs, the campgrounds have become a beacon to EV drivers looking for a boost.
A few parks around DC and one in California have begun reaching out to the new customer demographic, some even installing dedicated EV charging stations to keep the existing plugs open for their RV customers. The park owners have appreciated the new business. In the four hours it takes to charge an EV at their stations, the drivers buy snacks and utilize the campground, creating more revenue for the parks.
The National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds will soon launch a website that maps which of its members welcome EVs and hopes that more parks will embrace this new business venture.

On Tuesday, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA Ganesh Joshi, who has been charged with cruelty towards animals, has been granted bail on a personal bond of Rs 25,000 by a district court.
Joshi, who was arrested last week by Dehradun authorities, has been accused of breaking police horse Shaktiman's left hind leg during a BJP protest march.
After the brutal attack, Shaktiman's injured hind leg was amputated in an emergency life-saving surgery that took place on Thursday.
The ACJM Court in Dhakrani had earlier rejected his bail plea following which he was sent to judicial custody for 14 days.

Starring Candle Boxx

Candle Boxx is trapped in a nightmare of recurring violent vignettes. Watch her fight for her life against a murderous assassin in a series of life threatening situations. The killer is skilled at getting the drop on her. Candle Boxx usually winds up gutshot and writhing on the ground. At times, she comes so close to getting the upper hand, but she is the loser in this eternal struggle.
Our killer repeatedly waits for Candle Boxx to die before carefully moving her body and stripping her down, revealing her gorgeous, round boobs. Other times, he catches her in the nude and we watch Candle Boxx struggle in the buff. Poor Candle Boxx, but at least we are treated to generous shots of her incredible body!

7 Hairstyles That Make Long Hair Look Short ...
As a girl with long hair, I sometimes try out hairstyles that make long hair look short. I don't want to cut it, but I like to add some variety to the usual ponytail or headband. Of course, it's also a good way to see if you really want short hair before taking the plunge. Most of these hairstyles that make long hair look short are easy to do and look great for both day and night. Give a few a try and you'll discover just how versatile long hair really is.
1. Embrace Curls
One of the easiest hairstyles that make long hair look short is curls. The key is to embrace big, tight curls that instantly take inches off your hair. I use volumizing curl sprays and mousse to add body to the hair before curling. It helps the curls stay in place all day. Depending on the thickness of your hair, you'll need around 15-30 minutes for this one. For me, it look like I cut six inches off my hair just by curling.

A modest 2 cent increase over the weekend market break was a foreshadowing of a rather lackluster trading week as the Arkansas soybean cash market opened at $13.49 and stayed within a 15 cent spread throughout the week. The Arkansas cash market had three days of small gains spread around a 15 cent loss day before closing the week at $13.45 on Friday, an overall 2 cent loss from the previous Friday closing mark. High individual market daily average for the week was $13.73 at West Memphis on Monday.

Oiling or Lubrication of Floor Fans
Floor fans--also known as box fans--are an inexpensive way to keep your home cool while circulating the air. Over time, a floor fan can become dirty, dingy and not work as well as it once did. Years of use can create the need for your floor fan to be lubricated. Lubricating a floor fan involves dismantling the entire fan. The process is easier than it sounds and should be performed once a year to give your floor fan a thorough cleaning.
Step 1
Turn the floor fan off and unplug it from the wall.
Step 2
Remove the screws from the floor fan's front cover--also known as grill--with a screwdriver. Typically, you will need to Phillips head screwdriver. Place the screws in a safe location. After the screws have been removed, gently pull the cover off the rectangular housing. Repeat the process for the floor fan's back grill.
Step 3
Remove the mounts or screws to disconnect the fan blades from the motor. Lay all the pieces out in front of you.
Step 4
Fill a bucket with 1 gallon of cool water. Add 1/4 cup of liquid dish soap. Mix the contents together thoroughly with a wooden spoon. Submerge a cloth in the mixture and wipe all parts of the fan--except the motor--with the cloth.
Step 5
Saturate an old toothbrush in the mixture and scrub the floor fan's front and back cover. Continue scrubbing until you have thoroughly cleaned the grills.
Step 6
Wipe all fan parts dry with a towel.
Step 7
Brush dirt, dust, hair and other debris off the motor with a dry, soft-bristled brush. Do not allow the motor to get wet. Alternatively, use a can of air to blast away any dirt or dust on the motor housing.
Step 8
Place a drop of SAE 20 non-detergent oil into each oil port. Spray a lightweight lubricant on the shaft of the motor.
Step 9
Reassemble the floor fan. Attach the fan blades to the motor. Secure the front and back cover to the fan's housing.
Things You Will Need
- Phillips screwdriver
- Bucket
- Liquid dish soap
- Cloths
- Toothbrush
- Towels
- Soft-bristled brush
- Can of air
- SAE 20 non-detergent oil
- Lightweight lubricant

Utterly Me
The Childhood Me
Dear World,
Do you know what it's like to be me? To live the life of a lonely child? I like elementary school and I made a few friends! We play together a lot on the playground and race for the swings a lot. A lot of times we play kickball, too! After school, though, it's different. I can't go home right away. I have to stay at an after-school program. The first day is okay and I get along with some of the kids. It doesn't stay that way for very long and staying after school has become really scary for me. The older kids are not so nice to me, except for one. They like to push me around and bully me. I don't know why they pick on me when there are other kids in the same grade as me. I don't know what I did to make them hate me so much! I'm too scared to tell my aunt and uncle about it. What if I get in trouble?
I try to get along with the older kids but they don't like it. Two older girls let me play with them but sometimes I think that they think that I'm a pest...like my sister thinks of me. Even though the other kids let me play with them, I know that they're laughing at me. That why I stay near the nice ladies or just play alone on the swings when we go outside to play. Sometimes I'll play with legos by myself or draw pictures with markers. I like drawing but the older kids say my pictures are ugly. It's hard to ignore them. They make me cry a lot.
There's this one big kid who likes to pick on me a lot. Today, he and I were on the swings and he laughed at me since he was going higher. I ignore him, like I'm taught when kids are being mean, and jump off from my swing. We're being called back inside to the school cafeteria and I run back. The ladies get out all of the markers and papers for us to if we want to draw. Some of the other kids are playing with legos but I don't care. I'd rather draw. The same big kid who picked on me earlier is suddenly by the phone and his arm is in a sling. Guess he must have broken it.
"Hi, mom." He says in a sad way.
He deserved it. I really wish he got sent to the office for that and the one time we were finishing up a round of kickball. I was playing outfield but it was time to go back inside the cafeteria. I was walking off of the field when he took the kickball and threw it at me. He aimed at my back and he got in trouble for that, too.
There is another kid who likes to pick on me as well. This kid is fatter than the one who just broke his arm from jumping off of the swing. Sometimes he's nice but most of the time he's mean. He'll make fun of my pictures or call me names. Sometimes he puts 'kick me' signs on my back. He's the brother of one of my classmates. I don't know why he does this but I'll go onto the stage in the cafeteria and stay there. I'm safer away from the big kids. I'm not safe when we go outside. He likes to throw rocks at me when I'm on the swings. Once, he took me by the shirt and slammed me into the wall when I wouldn't get out of way so he could see something. He only got a time-out. I really wished that he got sent into the office.
He has another brother, too, who's older than my first-grade classmate but younger than him. I don't really like him. Whenever we play kickball, he gets mean. Once, I kicked the ball outfield and started running around all of the bases. He almost got me, too, but he missed when he tried to tag me out. I scored a point and he shoved me. He got a time-out.
Dear world, I don't want to deal with these bullies anymore.
© 2017 Jennifer
I had to deal with bullying in middle school. There were some days I did not even want to go to some classes. I can relate to this hub.
Bullying has been a major issue especially in the days of school , college education, but sadly, the same has been mostly neglected. Many students lose confidence and even commmit suicide frustrated over this menace.

IN SHEER MAGNITUDE, the Palestine partition of 1947 wasn't even that year's most disastrous division of a former British colonial possession. The partition of the Indian subcontinent — between India and the new Muslim state Pakistan — produced roughly as many deaths, in horrific communal violence between Muslims and Hindus, as the numbers of Palestinian Arabs expelled from their homeland and robbed of their lands in the 1947-49 Catastrophe — al-Nakba — accompanying the establishment of the state of Israel.
WE WILL PROTECT you for your own good: The U.S. Supreme Court's bizarre decision in Gonzales v. Carhart and Gonzales v. Planned Parenthood reintroduces to American jurisprudence the paternalistic motivation that characterized decisions about women from a century ago.
BARACK OBAMA'S BID to be the first African American president of The United States has brought on an unusual discussion among many Blacks: "Is he Black enough?"
The junior U.S. Senator from Illinois is making history by the broad support he's receiving from a broad spectrum of social and racial groups in the country. Yet it's reopened an old debate within the community about what defines Blackness.
ON MARCH 21, 2007, REVEREND Edward Pinkney, leader of the Black Autonomy Network Community Organization (BANCO), was convicted by an all-white jury at the Berrien County Courthouse in St. Joseph, Michigan. The jury found him guilty on five counts of voter fraud — four felonies and one misdemeanor — for which he could face up to 20 years in prison.
TENS OF THOUSANDS of Mexicans filled the central plaza of the capital on January 31, 2007 in the March for Food Sovereignty and In Defense of a Minimum Wage and Employment. This megamarcha in Mexico City was a mass expression of similar mobilizations throughout the country since the beginning of the year, when the price of tortillas rose drastically. Marchers chanted, "We want tortillas, not PAN"— pan means bread in Spanish and is also the acronymn for Felipe Calderón's Nacional Action Party, currently in power at the national level.
ON MARCH 28 and 29, a series of rightist mobilizations took place in Jakarta, Indonesia. The largest of these was a 500-strong mobilization aimed at disrupting a march and rally being organized by the United Party for National Liberation (Papernas) protesting foreign domination of the Indonesian minerals sector and demanding nationalization of companies in the sector. These groups were armed with scythes, knives and canes. This was the fourth time in the last six months that Papernas had been targeted for violent disruption.
IN AN EARLIER article, I noted that the German Social Democratic Party (SPD) leadership's continued catering to the needs of capital would endanger its hold on power.(1) That appraisal, however, underestimated the political skills of SPD leader and Chancellor of the Red-Green coalition government, Gerhard Schröder.
ACCORDING TO THE Migration Policy Institute's estimate, 1.8 million foreign-born workers belonged to unions in 2003, up from 1.4 million in 1996, increasing as a proportion of union membership from 8.9% to 11.5% in that period. The rapid increase in the proportion of foreign-born union members was due in part to the decline in membership among native-born workers.(1)
PROFESSOR HISHAM H. AHMED, currently in the department of politics at Saint Mary's College of California, is a Palestinian-American scholar in the field of Middle East politics and Islamist movements. He has contributed to several books and is the author of From Religious Salvation to Political Transformation: The Role of Hamas in Palestinian Society (1994). Born in the Dheisheh refugee camp near Bethlehem, he was interviewed by phone by David Finkel from the ATC editorial board, shortly after the announcement of the Palestinian government of national unity.

"I see now the present dangers, the dangers of the void, of the American hollowness in which I walk calmly day and night as I continue my life. I begin to see the incessant grinding down of lines for stamps, for jobs, for a bed to sleep in, of a death stretched imperceptibly over a lifetime. I begin to understand the ingenuity of it. The invisibility. The Holocaust without smoke." —Irena Klepfisz, "Bashert"(1)
The Iron Cage
The Story of the Palestinian Struggle for Statehood
Rashid Khalidi
Boston: Beacon Press, 2006,
$24.95 hardcover.
SINCE BRITISH FIELD Marshall Edmund Allenby's troops captured Jerusalem in December 1917 the Arab population of Palestine has been trapped in an iron cage. This vivid image is the central metaphor Rashid Khalidi uses to examine nearly a century of desire for an independent Palestinian state. His book, completed last summer as Israel bombed Lebanon and laid seize to Gaza, focuses on Palestinian agency within the constraints imposed.
The 33-Day War
Israel's War on Hezbollah
in Lebanon and Its Consequences
Gilbert Achcar with Michel Warschawski. Boulder and London: Paradigm Publishers, 2007. 95 pages + notes and index. $17.95 paper.
THE SPIRALLING DISASTER generated by the George W. Bush administration's Middle East adventures is at the center of this concise and sharp little book.
The Power of Israel
in the United States
James Petras
Atlanta: Clarity Press, 2006,
190 pages, $16.95 paperback.
WIDELY KNOWN AS an expert in Latin American history and social movements, and a prolific critic of U.S. imperialism, James Petras has ventured forth in his latest book The Power of Israel in the United States, and several recent essays on the same theme, as a modern-day exorcist eager to take on a cabal currently holding in its grasp the very course and direction of the nation.
[The following text is taken from Hal Draper's article in the July, 1948 issue of the U.S. revolutionary socialist journal New International, "How to Defend Israel: A Political Program for Israeli Socialists." It proposes a democratic and revolutionary approach to defending the right of self-determination of the Jewish nation that had emerged in Palestine.
[The following brief excerpt is taken from the beginning of the essay "Zionism Reconsidered," by the dissident Jewish political philosopher Hannah Arendt, which appeared in The Menorah Journal, August 1945 and reprinted in the volume Zionism Reconsidered (Michael Selzer ed., The Macmillan Company, 1970). The centenary of the birth of this remarkable and complex author was observed in 2006. "Hannah Arendt always asked the right questions," comments Norman Finkelstein, comparing her pioneering work on the Nazi genocide and anti-semitism to the shallow production of "Holocaust Studies" figures like Daniel Goldhagen in today's degraded intellectual climate.
SEEING OLD FRIENDS, former students, colleagues, landscapes and voices from my past, I was filled with conflicting emotions from elation to sorrow when I first watched Paul Smaczny's double DVD "The Ramallah Concert/Knowledge is the Beginning: West Eastern Divan Orchestra" with Daniel Barenboim, the superstar Israeli-Argentinian conductor and pianist.
One DVD is a filming of the orchestra's concert in Ramallah, occupied West Bank in 2005; the second is a documentary that chronicles the years 1999, 2002-2005 of the West Eastern Divan (WED) orchestra and participants, Barenboim's journey to the West Bank, and the effects of the wall.
AZMI BISHARA, THE leader and representative in the Knesset (Israeli Parliament) of the National Democratic Assembly (Tajamu') — and quite possibly Israel's most outstanding democratic politician — has resigned his Knesset seat and apparently gone into exile.
THE SUDDEN AND untimely death of Tanya Reinhart is a tragic loss. It is particularly painful as this brilliant Israeli linguist and dissident, with her husband and poet Aharon Shabtai, had moved to New York in December feeling they could no longer live in Israel while the brutal repression continued in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
Marx, Lenin and the Revolutionary Experience.
Studies of Communism and Radicalism
in the Age of Globalization
Paul Le Blanc
New York, Routledge, 2006, 337 pages, $29.95 paper.
IN THIS MOST welcome and refreshing contribution to the discussion on the present relevance of 20th Century radical traditions, Paul Le Blanc offers insightful and sympathetic assessments of Marx, Lenin, and currents ranging from Radical Christianity to Anarchism.
[The following is an excerpt from Dr. Gloria Albrecht's paper "Labor Radicalism, Spirituality, Scholarship and Activism: Reactions to Paul LeBlanc's Marx, Lenin and the Revolutionary Experience," which she delivered October 19, 2006 at Wayne State University in Detroit. Professor Albrecht is Professor of Religious Studies at University of Detroit-Mercy and a Christian feminist ethicist specializing in the study of social justice.]
PAUL LE BLANC begins by noting that his book is full of "odd combinations" (1). For example, the inclusion of both secular political theorists and Christian theologians: Lenin and Tillich....
Twilight People:
One Man's Journey to Find His Roots
David Houze
Berkeley: University of California Press, 2006.
329 pages, $24.95 hardback.
DAVID HOUZE WAS born in South Africa in 1965. In late 1966 he left that country with his mother and went to Meridian, Mississippi. In South Africa, where he has returned several times as an adult, he would not be classified as African but as "coloured," a person of mixed European and African ancestry with a definite but uneasy place in the apartheid society which existed at the time of his birth.
IRIS MARION YOUNG, one of the leading feminist and political philosophers of our time, died in August, 2006 at the age of 57. Born January 2, 1949 in New York City, she studied philosophy as an undergraduate at Queens College, where she graduated with honors in 1970, and received her masters and doctorate in philosophy from Pennsylvania State University in 1974.
SEBASTIAN LAMB, TOM Smith and Steve Bloom raise important issues in their responses to my articles on the labor aristocracy. Lamb and I agree that working class reformism and conservatism are rooted in the experience of capitalist social relations of production. Both of us reject elitist explanations that reduce workers to "passive empty vessels" into whose heads are poured all sorts of "garbage" by the ruling class. Our differences on the material foundations of working class conservatism are, in my opinion, matters of nuance.
