TryAnything's Biography: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Some words from TryAnything: | |
I've been writing since about 1995 and have never until I submitted a few stories to Literotica had anyone read anything I've written. I have been absolutely astonished beyond words at the response to my stuff. I write from the sordid depths of my imagination, and probably secret desires, though I am extremely straight, monogamous in a relationship and expect the same. I truly appreciate the feedback I have received, even from those few who don't like the length or content of my stories. Can't please everyone all the time...I make no pretense at being a writer, but I do love exploring different ideas that lurk in my head. I find it most fun to play with the taboos, the so-called outside-the-box perversions that a 'normal' & 'moral' society would impose upon people. That means sex outside wedlock, with the same sex, with different races, with immediate and not so immediate family (incest). So if any of these ideas offend you, you don't want to read my stuff. But otherwise, please keep reading, hopefully enjoying, being stimulated in so many different ways, and letting me know what you think. Thanks much. Update: Nov 2008 I've been away, very busy with my life these past 2-3 years, therefore I had no time to write. I think things are calming down -- moving halfway around the world can be amusing, believe me -- and I am looking forward to enjoying my 'writing' hobby once again. I hope this tickles some fancies, and I also hope it blows some fuses. The intolerant ones who write to me are the most fun, all of the hundreds of others are deeply appreciated....TryAnything Addendum: Jan 22, 2009 I have been so blown away by the responses to my stories lately, but one thing really stands out for me: people are actually realizing that this is FANTASY, not REALITY. OMFG, People, get real. LMMFAO. :) If this is where you come for reality... Please keep up the emails, especially the negative ones. They are just the best: narrow minded, racists, you name it. I just love it all. Update: June 2011 Well, seems life never stops being busy or busier. That's how it's been. I've managed to write a couple of new stories and have posted them. I've decided to assume for the sake of my erotic fantasies that everything takes place in a world without STDs. Makes it much easier and a hell of a lot more fun. Thanks again for all the great emails. They're really appreciated. I make it a point to try to answer each and every one of them. |

When I'm stuck or in need to restore a bit of hope in humankind I go there.
It gives me such a sense of peace, beauty and tranquillity. Everything in there is so powerful, the objects seems alive.
I've been twice this weekend and that's because they are more relaxed about taking pictures (before it wasn't allowed).
I have a new camera (my first DSLR), I've chosen a Nikon. I only want to use it in manual mode but I have to learn how to use it. Being lazy, I tend not to read the instruction manual and so I got stuck for ages wondering where the various functions are, it took me a while to realise that the diaphragm command was an anonymous
washer( is that the correct name in English?). Anyway I guess the best way to learn is to use it. My first attempts were taken in that wonderful house I hope you excuse the quality of the images.
Have a nice beginning of the week.
More on my Flickr.
Those who follow my Instagram (at_knots) saw it already more there.

Related topics: mortgage, home financing, debt, interest rates, Liz Weston
Cratered interest rates, a volatile stock market and a dismal real-estate situation make it vividly clear: The only decent, guaranteed return you can find these days is by paying off debt you've already incurred.
If you're carrying credit card debt at 11%, for example, every dollar you pay off earns you an instant 11% return on your money.
That's a great return in a world where:
- One-year certificates of deposit average much less than 2%.
- Yields on short-term Treasury securities are close to zero.
- Many retirement funds are down 40% or more from their peaks.
- Home prices are still bottoming out.
So shouldn't we be tackling all our debt, including our mortgages?
Liz Pulliam Weston
Not so fast.
There are situations where paying down a mortgage makes sense, such as when you're approaching retirement or when reducing your principal will get you a much better deal on a mortgage refinance.
But most people still have better things to do with their money, even in this environment, than to pay down a low-rate debt that's often tax-deductible to boot.
And if you're "underwater" on your mortgage, paying it down is probably the last thing you should do.
The urge to be free of debt
It's not that I don't understand the impulse to speed up the day that you own your home free and clear. There's something psychologically satisfying about knowing the bank can't take your castle.
Besides, the numbers can seem pretty impressive. Let's say you have a 30-year, $250,000 mortgage at 6% interest. Your monthly payments are $1,498.88. By paying an extra:
- $100 a month, you could save nearly $52,000 in future interest and pay off the loan four and a half years early.
- $250 a month, you could save nearly $100,000 in future interest and pay off the loan nine years early.
- $500 a month, you could save nearly $144,000 in future interest and pay off the loan almost 14 years early.
So who wouldn't go for that, right? Indeed, a March 2007 study (.pdf file) co-authored by a Federal Reserve economist estimated that 16% of U.S. households pay extra on mortgages each year. But anyone who really understands money would realize the savings aren't all they're cracked up to be.
For one thing, mortgages tend to be some of the cheapest money you can get, and, as mentioned earlier, the interest is often deductible. If you're in the 25% federal tax bracket, that 6% interest rate may be costing you as little as 4.5% if you itemize and even less when you factor in state income taxes. (Your tax break depends on the amount of interest you pay and the total of your other itemized deductions.) Even if you don't get any tax break at all on your mortgage, though, the rate is still dirt-cheap compared with that on most other loans.
Furthermore, those seemingly impressive interest savings are spread out over future years, when their value will be substantially eroded by inflation. Remember, a dollar 25 years from now probably will be worth less than 50 cents is today, given a 3.1% inflation rate.
Need a guaranteed return? Try 50%
Contributions to a workplace retirement plan will get you a lot further ahead, for a variety of reasons:
- While many employers have recently curtailed such practices, workplace plans often still offer matches, typically 50% of every dollar you put in up to 6% of your pay. If you're not contributing enough to at least get the full company match, you're leaving free money on the table (and missing out on an immediate 50% return).
- You save taxes on the money going in. Federal tax brackets range from 10% to 35%; there are also federal tax credits when lower-income workers make retirement contributions. When the money comes out, you'll owe taxes, but most people's tax rates fall in retirement compared with the period when they're working.
- Even with the recent turmoil, over the long term your money can earn better returns in the market compared with paying off low-rate debt. Based on historical returns, a mix of 60% stocks, 30% bonds and 10% cash would earn an average of more than 8% a year in most 20- to 30-year periods, according to market researcher Ibbotson Associates. You may doubt we'll ever return to the days of long-term gains in the stock market, but we will.
Even if you stick your money in a cash account, the upfront benefits of retirement plan contributions are compelling enough that you should opt to put money there rather than your mortgage.
In fact, the Fed study found that homeowners who prepay their mortgages blow more than $1.5 billion a year, or $400 per household, by accelerating their loan payments instead of contributing more to their retirement accounts.
The research found that at least 38% of those who were making extra payments on their mortgage were "making the wrong choice." Instead, these households would get back 11 to 17 cents more on the dollar by putting the money into a workplace retirement plan such as a 401k.
The study didn't mention Roth IRAs, but they're another account you should take advantage of if you possibly can. You don't get a tax break upfront, but the money comes out tax-free in retirement.
If you're already maxing out your retirement funds, though, your next step still shouldn't be making an extra mortgage payment.

2000Our site is to help teach people that there is more than just one kind of mummy. Mummies can come from all different places around the world. Mummies can be formed in a variety of weather conditions and climates. Many mummy forms were formed intentionally, but some were formed in an accidental manner. Some of these accidental forms are frozen in ice, trapped in a bog, and covered in mud. Some of the intentional forms of mummies are ones that are coated in wax, dipped in plastic and weathered by desert sands and wind. Mummification was desired by many cultures and used as a symbol of rank. These types of cultures also mummified their children as well as their animals. The children and animals were placed in the tombs with their adult relatives. Our site details many different types of mummies including the Egyptian, Chinese, Mud, Bog, Inca and Ice mummies. Information about how these mummies are formed as well as where and how they can be found is included in the site. Additional information that can be found at the site is a recipe for Yummy Mummy Cookies by Hershey, links to many other mummy web sites, a mummy word search, meet a Mummy Master and a really cool Mummy Rap Song.

TELLURIDE - Telluride Outside has acquired the snowmobiling portion of Dave's Mountain Tours, a guide service that has operated near Telluride since 1995, and will offer daily tours in the spectacular Beaver Park area, accessed from a snowmobile base on Fall Creek road, just 30 minutes from Telluride, in November.
John Duncan, co-owner of Telluride Outside, says, "This is a tremendous opportunity to offer a premier winter guide service on parallel with our most popular summer activities, like rafting, 4-WD tours and fly fishing. Snowmobiling is a major winter vacation amenity. We're going to take these tours to the next level with better machines, improved transportation and most importantly, the best guides in the business. We can't wait to get started. I would like to thank Dave Rote for his support throughout this process."
Prior to 2001, Telluride Outside operated snowmobile tours in the Alta Lakes area under original owner Bill White and interim owner Todd Herrick. Since 2001, Duncan and his partners have sought snowmobile permits to balance Telluride Outside's summer-oriented guide services: fly fishing, rafting, 4-WD tours, mountain bike tours and photography tours.
Complete tour information is available at tellurideoutside.com/snowmobiles. Highlights include:
• Telluride Outside will upgrade the snowmobile fleet with new model Polaris touring and powder riding machines.
• Riding terrain and trail options will surpass anything previously offered in SW Colorado, including more than 80 miles of groomed trails and powder meadows between Woods Lake, Beaver Park and Dunton Hot Springs.
• Telluride Outside will offer half day and full day tours for riders of any ability.
• A luxurious Dunton Hot Springs full day tour will be available.
• Door-to-door transportation will be offered for all tours.
• High quality snow suits, boots and helmets will be offered free of charge.
• Double sleds will be available to accommodate non-driving riders.
• Tours will be booked and coordinated from Telluride Outside's main street location in downtown Telluride.
For more information, contact Duncan at 800/831-6230, 970/728-3895 or visit www.tellurideoutside.com.

A New Take on Traditional Design
Designer Ty Larkins creates an updated version of traditional, Southern interiors in his Louisiana house.
By James Servin
Living Room
The living room of designer Ty Larkins's house in Baton Rouge captures the romantic classicism of France. "All these architectural embellishments and antiques can get really heavy and serious," he says. "I toned it all down with neutrals. Everything is painted or upholstered in the same shades of gray and khaki. You float through the space." The painting is by New Orleans artist Tony Mose.
The foyer's elaborate staircase has alternating balusters of three different designs. "Doing it that way was a Georgian display of wealth, and it's just my little academic play with history," Larkins says.
Dining Room
An iron-and-crystal chandelier from Niermann Weeks is the star of the dining room. Larkins used touches of bold red "to add excitement and vitality. And it stimulates the appetite." The Rope floor lamps are by Eric Cohler from Circa Lighting.
Outdoor Courtyard
The patio was inspired by the intimate, romantic courtyards in the French Quarter. "It's totally hidden from street view, so it creates a sense of privacy and mystery," says designer Ty Larkins. The Carmel armchairs are by Restoration Hardware.
The kitchen is reminiscent of staff kitchens in 1920s Southern mansions — they were generous in size, but always very simple. Countertops and island are honed Carrara marble. Rhone pendants from Rejuvenation. Walls and woodwork are Classic Gray by Benjamin Moore. Indecasa stools from Design Within Reach.
The library's comfortable upholstered pieces invite reading and lounging.
Pottery Collection
A white pottery collection: "It's the David Hicks philosophy," Larkins says. "When you take things with common traits and put them together, they take on more importance."
Kitchen Details
A kitchen chalkboard by Ballard Designs caters to Larkins's seven-year-old twin daughters.
Outdoor View
Fig ivy covers the courtyard walls.
Guest Bedroom
In the guest bedroom, a large drum shade lamp is juxtaposed with an antique French daybed. Luz acrylic tables by Oly; tile artwork by Yuri Zatarain.
An urn sculpture on the living room mantel, by Baton Rouge artist Roy Phelps.
House Exterior
"The exterior can be loosely described as a detached neoclassical town house," Larkins says.
Porch with Draperies
One of four outdoor seating areas, draperies and a ceiling fan provide a cool respite from the sun.
Rich Brown Library
A Louis XVI trumeau mirror reflects the dark, moody clubbiness of the library. Chairs by Thomas Pheasant for Baker. Pouf ottomans by Global Views.
Master Bedroom
Photos of Ty and Amanda Larkins hang above their large four-poster: "The dark mahogany and the walnut bedside tables provide the kind of contrast you need with a monochromatic palette. I wanted to create visual harmony and serenity in my bedroom, not visual boredom." Bed and tables from the Palmer Home Collection by Lexington.
Travertine marble tiles give the bathroom a spa-like atmosphere. The freestanding Vintage bathtub by Kohler is a modern interpretation of a claw-foot tub. Thomas O'Brien towels from Target.

Water Trails Take Paddlers Deep Inside National Wildlife Refuges
On many National Wildlife Refuges, spring means the return of visitors to water trails and its no mystery why. Exploring a refuge by canoe or kayak combines adventure with physical activity and an intimacy with nature thats hard to beat.
Whether you navigate on your own or take a guided trip, bring your own boat or rent one, many refuges make wonderful paddling destinations. Besides providing a close-up glimpse of shorebirds, mammals and other wildlife, refuges offer serenity, mapped water trails, and, sometimes, the option of multi-day camping excursions. The Refuge System boasts some 1,000 miles of marked water trails.
When youre in a canoe, youre not as intimidating to wildlife, said Nancy Brown, a public outreach specialist at the South Texas Refuge Complex, at the states southernmost tip, where guided canoe and kayak outings on the Rio Grande and the Laguna Madre are sellouts. A former Alaska kayak guide, Brown helped secure National Fish and Wildlife Foundation grants for the half-day interpreted paddle trips at the complexs three National Wildlife Refuges: Santa Ana, Lower Rio Grande Valley and, as of last summer, Laguna Atascosa. Weve paddled right beneath hawks and past white-tailed deer. When youre in a canoe, animals dont appear to see you as a predator.
A boat is a must for those who wish to explore the Upper Klamath National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon where a marked canoe trail is open all year-round, as well as at the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, which crosses southern Georgia and northern Florida. The vast majority of the refuge you can see only by water, said Blaine Eckberg, park ranger at Okefenokee Refuge. Paddling lets you enter one of the largest wilderness areas east of Mississippi River, full of egrets, cranes and of course alligators. Mild temperatures and the lack of biting insects make spring the most popular paddling season.
Two islands and seven raised platforms are available to paddlers who want to camp overnight in the swamp, as Eckberg recently did. You may hear alligators growling, but theyre not likely to bother you. Theyre not interested in people.
Over 42 million people visit refuges each year, generating almost $1.7 billion in sales for regional economies. In addition to wildlife observation, refuges provide rich opportunities for wildlife photography, hunting, fishing, environmental education and nature interpretation. For more information about all 551 National Wildlife Refuges, visit
Here are just a few of the National Wildlife Refuges that are popular for outdoor water activities:
John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge, Pennsylvania
The refuges 4.5 mile segment of Darby Creek winds through the largest freshwater tidal marsh in Pennsylvania before flowing into the Delaware River. See migratory birds including warblers, herons, egrets and sandpipers, as well as bald eagles, kingfishers and waterfowl. Enjoy great fishing along the way. Refuge waters are tidal and navigable only within two hours before and after high tide. Bring your own canoe or kayak. Download monthly tide charts on the refuge Web site and learn points of interest along a self-guided paddle tour.
Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge, Vermont
Paddle past one of the most impressive great blue heron rookeries in the Northeast. Look also for bald eagles, ospreys, waterfowl and neotropical migratory birds of the silver maple floodplain forest. Take a map and have enough daylight or moonlight to find your way in the deltas many channels. Canoe rentals are available nearby.
Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, Massachusetts
Part of the Great Marsh, the largest continuous salt marsh north of Long Island Sound, the Parker River Refuge attracts hundreds of songbirds, shorebirds and waterfowl. Spring and fall are favorite paddling seasons because migratory birds are plentiful and mosquitoes and horseflies are not. Check tide times to avoid being stranded by low tide. Rentals are available in Newburyport. A paddling guide and map are available online.
Umbagog National Wildlife Refuge, New Hampshire and Maine
Paddlers can ogle moose, bald eagles, loons and other wildlife from along more than 10 miles of the Magalloway and Androscoggin Rivers, their backwaters and much of Umbagog Lake. Visit the refuge Web site for water route options. Canoe rentals are available nearby.
Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge, Nevada
From June 15 to December 31, paddlers can explore a large freshwater emergent marsh and waterfowl nesting haven along a six-mile marked trail in Nevada's high desert. For off-trail paddling, a GPS is recommended to navigate the maze of bulrush islands. A route map is available at refuge headquarters. Paddlers must provide their own watercraft.
Siletz Bay National Wildlife Refuge, Oregon
The refuge, boasting some of the most scenic estuarine habitat along the Pacific Coast Scenic Byway, offers guided summer interpretive trips for paddlers with their own canoes or kayaks. For scheduled dates and times, see the Web site. The refuge provides nursery grounds for coho and chinook salmon, steelhead and cutthroat trout. Paddlers may see ospreys, bald eagles and great blue herons, and hear many more birds along the willow-lined banks of the Siletz River.
Stone Lakes National Wildlife Refuge, California
The Sacramento-area refuge offers free guided summer interpretive paddles along a secluded and normally closed slough lined with oaks and cottonwoods. Commonly sighted wildlife on the two-mile route include river otters, western pond turtles, Swainsons hawks, great blue herons, belted kingfishers and wood ducks. For tour dates and times, visit the refuge Web site.
Upper Klamath National Wildlife Refuge, Oregon
A boat is a must for exploring this refuge, whose freshwater marsh and open water harbor waterfowl, eagles, osprey and colonial nesting birds such as white pelicans and herons. The refuge has the most extensive marked canoe trail of the Klamath Basin Refuge Complex, made up of six refuges in northern California and southern Oregon. The Upper Klamath Refuge trail is open year-round, with boat rentals available from nearby concessions. A paddling brochure is available from refuge headquarters.
Middle Atlantic
Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, Maryland
Paddlers armed with a water trail map (available for $5 from the Friends of Blackwater) can explore tidal marshes and brackish ponds for a closer look at bald eagles, ospreys, herons and muskrats. The refuges three paddling trails were named Recommended Water Trails for 2006 by the American Canoe Association. Visit the refuge Web site for information on ordering maps.
Rappahannock River Valley National Wildlife Refuge, Virginia
Self-guided paddling along Mt. Landing Creek quickly leaves houses and other human structures behind. A map available at the launch site shows how to follow the creek to the Rappahannock River and onto the extensive Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail, commemorating the voyages of the famed 17th-century explorer. Along the way, see eagles and marsh birds, cattails and wild rice.
Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge, North Carolina
Paddling is perhaps the best way to see the refuge. You can explore 15 miles of color-coded water trails on your own or take a guided canoe trip on Pea Island (two hours, $25; three hours, $35) or Alligator River (three hours, $35). To reserve guided trips, contact 252-475-4180.
Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge, Florida
At the northernmost part of the Everglades, Loxahatchee Refuge offers paddlers a close-up view of an endangered ecosystem and its resident alligators and other wetland species. Paddlers follow a clearly marked, self-guided 5 mile loop. Rentals are available.
Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge, Texas
Bring your binoculars and snorkel gear on this guided kayak trip ($30) of the lower Laguna Madre.
Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge, Texas
Guided half-day tours ($15) take paddlers over fossilized oyster reefs and under Altamira oriole nests.
Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, southern Georgia and northern Florida
This vast swamp, one of the countrys best-preserved freshwater systems, is home to alligators, sandhill cranes, red-cockaded woodpeckers, carnivorous plants and many other species. It also contains more than 120 miles of canoe trails. Call 912-496-3331 between the hours of 7:00 and 10:00 a.m. weekdays to request an overnight wilderness canoe permit. Requests can be made no more than two months in advance. Guided boat tours and boat rentals are also available.
Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge, Florida
Paddling the birthplace of the National Wildlife Refuge System offers visitors a chance to see manatees, herons, egrets and roseate spoonbills up close. Paddle on your own or enjoy a guided tour of the refuge and Indian River Lagoon. Reservations are recommended. Details on rentals and fees are available on the refuge Web site.
Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge, Texas
Guided half-day tours ($20) on the last stretch of the Rio Grande before it empties into the Gulf of Mexico offer views of tropical birds found nowhere else in the continental United States.
J. Clark Salyer National Wildlife Refuge, North Dakota
Paddlers can choose between a 5 ½-mile route and a 13-mile route along the Souris River, which winds 75 miles through the refuge. The river provides habitat for muskrats (you might even see an albino one), minks, weasels, American bitterns and ruddy ducks. Paddlers must have their own canoes or kayaks.
Seney National Wildlife Refuge Michigan
The scenic Manistique River, which once carried thousands of logs to nearby sawmills, meanders through hardwoods, swamps and mixed pine forests in the southern portion of the refuge. Paddlers may spot mergansers, spotted sandpipers, mink, river otter and wood turtles. Canoes and river kayaks are available at nearby outfitters. See the Web site for details.
Far North
Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska
Two extensive canoe routes offer day trips to weeklong or longer trips. The more heavily visited Swan Lake System route, about 60 miles long, contains 40 lakes linked by foot and water portages to the Moose River. The Swanson River System forms a strenuous 80-mile water route that connects 40 lakes and 46 miles of the Swanson River. Both systems offer excellent trout fishing and wildlife viewing for the hardy. Pack as lightweight as possible. Bring life jackets, hip waders and wilderness experience.

Leaving the L.A. gang life behind, D.L. Hughley made the rounds in comedy clubs before finding spots on MTV's Def Comedy Jam and BET's Comic View. In 1998, Hughley debuted his sitcom The Hughleys, a family-friendly sitcom. During the run of his sitcom, Hughley also participated in the Kings of Comedy tour, which was documented in Spike Lee's 2000 film The Original Kings of Comedy.
"I think stand-up is one of the last places left where people can expect to hear a level of truth."
"If you lack the courage of your convictions, sell shoes."
Early Life
Comedian, actor. D.L. Hughley was born on March 6, 1963, in Los Angeles, California. The second of four children, Hughley grew up with his father, Charles, an airline maintenance worker, and his mother, Audrey. Hughley's teenage years were rife with troubles; for most of them, he was a member of the Bloods, a Los Angeles street gang. He was also expelled from high school, but earned a G.E.D. later in life. When his cousin, a member of a rival gang, was murdered, Hughley decided to pursue a different life. As an adult, Hughley actually got teary-eyed on television while talking to his fifth grade teacher, one of the only people he says supported him when he was young. In his own words, "I was this close to not making it."
Hughley turned his back on the gang scene and got a job as a telemarketer for the Los Angeles Times, which proved to be a positive step in more ways than one. There he met his future wife, LaDonna, and was promoted to management. The pair married on February 22, 1986, and had three children: daughters Ryan and Tyler and son Kyle. LaDonna urged Hughley to try performing as a comic; soon, he was making the rounds of local clubs.
While playing area clubs and honing his stand-up skills, Hughley fine-tuned his comedic approach. "I think stand-up is one of the last places left where people can expect to hear a level of truth," Hughley says. His style of comedy reflects this point of view; he is unafraid to portray autobiographical and topical material in exactly the light he sees it. The transition to television wasn't far off. After appearances on Def Comedy Jam, Hughley was invited in 1992 to host BET's show Comic View.
Career in TV and Film
In 1998, D.L. Hughley gained his widest exposure yet with the debut of his sitcom The Hughleys. The show was based around a black family that had recently moved to a primarily white suburb, a situation in which Hughley had found himself in his own life. While the show was more tame and family-friendly than Hughley's adult-oriented stand-up routines, he adapted his talents to the format. The NAACP Image Awards nominated Hughley in the Outstanding Actor in a Comedy Series category five times. During the run of his sitcom, D.L. Hughley also participated in the Kings of Comedy tour with Steve Harvey, Bernie Mac and Cedric the Entertainer. The tour was documented in Spike Lee's 2000 film The Original Kings of Comedy. When Bernie Mac died in 2008, Hughley and the other Original Kings spoke at his funeral.
Hughley took a job with Comedy Central, hosting a late-night talk show called Weekends at the D.L.

The Red Badge of Courage (Censorship (Ready Reference series))
The Work
The Red Badge of Courage is a novel in which Henry Fleming, "the Youth," struggles with the question of whether he will fight or run when he sees his first real battle. After it begins, he stands firm for the first charge, then runs when the Confederate forces charge again. He is ashamed, wishing he had a bloody bandage, a "red badge of courage." Eventually, he returns to his outfit and becomes an obsessed fighter.
This book was first attacked when it was removed from the American Library Association list of approved books in 1896. However, its removal was more of a response to author Stephen Crane than to the book itself. As Crane was writing The Red Badge of Courage, he published Maggie: A Girl of the Streets, a gritty, realistic look at life in New York's slums that brought many calls for censorship against Crane. Also, Civil War veterans objected to a young man with no military experience writing detailed battle accounts. Nevertheless, the novel enjoyed a sustained popularity, occasionally being objected to by religious or antiwar and antiviolence groups. In 1985, for example, the superintendent of schools in a Florida community banned The Red Badge of Courage for profanity because it used the word "hell."

Places Discussed (Cyclopedia of Literary Places)
Camp. Encampment of Henry's regiment where the novel opens. Although the regiment has only been lodged there for a few months, the novel's initial location seems to Henry to be "sort of eternal camp." In the opening paragraph, as a fog clears to display the awakening army, roads "grow" in the distance from "long troughs of liquid mud." The shore of a nearby river is occupied by the enemy, whose campfires glow by night on the ridges of low hills. Sometimes pickets posted as sentries on opposite banks shoot at one another; however, at other times they converse peaceably, their enmity set aside.
The regiment's lodgings are log-walled huts roofed with folded tents. Cracker boxes serve as furniture, grouped around fireplaces whose chimneys—crudely compounded out of clay and sticks—are inefficient, with the effect that the atmosphere inside each hut is foul with smoke: an omen of the battlefield to come.
Henry's home
Henry's home. Henry remembers life on his widowed mother's dairy farm as an endless round of trudging between the house, the barn, and the fields. He recalls that after enlisting he went to say good-bye to his admiring schoolmates, and that as he walked away from the seminary, along a path between two rows of oaks, a girl watched him from a window; his subsequent journey by railroad to Washington, D.C., seemed to be a hero's triumph because of the manner in which the troops were greeted at every station. Immediately before the battle, Henry remembers his local village on the day of a circus parade: an exquisitely detailed image that serves as a counterpoint to his chaotic awareness of the battlefield.

Today we face the difficult reality that more than a century of steel making as we know it has come to an end in Baltimore County," Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz said Thursday after the announcement of the sale of the historic Sparrows Point facility's cold mill assets.
Nucor Corp, a Charlotte-based steel manufacturer, had reported a day earlier that it had brought the Sparrows Point facility from Hilco Industrial, which specializes in industrial auctions for used machinery. Hilco purchased the plant earlier this year during RG Steel's bankruptcy procedure.
Nucor intends to dismantle Sparrow Point's cold mill parts for production at the company's four other mills, president and CEO John Ferriola told American Metal Market.
In 1889, the Pennsylvania Steel Company opened the Sparrows Point mill, which was eventually sold to Bethlehem Steel in 1916. At its peak, the mill was home to more than 30,000 workers and became the largest steel mill in the world.
The mill also supplied steel for World War II ships — for a longtime, the Sparrows Point was also a major shipbuilding center — as well as iconic structures like the Golden Gate and Chesapeake Bay bridges.
"The entire community feels the emotional and financial impact, whether you are a former RG Steel or Bethlehem Steel worker, a retiree living in Turner Station, or a business owner in Dundalk," Kamenetz said.
There are several very good local works about the Sparrows Point mill and the communities that grew up around it, including "Roots of Steel," by Dundalk-born author Deborah Rudacille, and "Making Steel," by Mark Ruetter, a former Baltimore Sun reporter now with the Baltimore Brew.
Community College of Baltimore County Labor Studies program director Bill Barry has also created an online Sparrows Point Steelworkers Project, which can be found here.

House Committee Passes Statewide Smoking Ban Bill
FRANKFORT, Ky. A proposal for a Kentucky statewide smoking ban has cleared its first hurdle. The House Health and Welfare committee passed the bill today.
The bill was expected to pass easily, but a few Republicans did vote against the measure because of concern for individual property rights.
Lexington doctor Sylvia Cerel-Suhl supports the ban. She says it's her right to go out in public and not be subjected to second-hand smoke.
"Frankly this is a property rights issue. I and you and everyone here have the right to breathe clean air. It is a property right issue. We all have the right to breathe clean air. Anyone can smoke in their own home, in their own car, in own their own yard, but in a public space we all have the right to breathe clean air," she says.
Even though the bill may pass the House, its future is uncertain because of a lack of support in the state Senate.
Susan Westrom is the bill's House sponsor. She says she won't call the bill for a floor vote if she can't convince enough senators to support the bill in their chamber.
That uncertainty didn't stop Cerel-Suhl from cheering the moment.
"This is a life cost issue. We don't need people who are at work or who are in public having to suffer from something they are not doing. And that's why this is such a wonderful historic moment. Getting this out of committee is a way to being to help educate our legislators on how to help the citizens of Kentucky," she says.

Traffic safety on Midnight Pass Road is a consistent topic at Siesta Key Association meetings.
The Florida Department of Transportation is in talks with Sarasota County that could take some bureaucratic hurdles out of the way of lowering the speed limit or adding more signage, according to FDOT spokeswoman Debbie Tower.
Sarasota County Engineer Jim Harriott, in an email to County Administrator Randall Reid, said County Commission Chairwoman Christine Robinson should expect requests from FDOT for the county to take over jurisdiction of Midnight Pass Road.
"It makes sense because it's a non-connected state road," said Sarasota County Traffic Engineering staff member Ryan Montague. The city of Sarasota has jurisdiction of Siesta Drive, and the county maintains Stickney Point west of the south Siesta bridge.
The state may also request the county maintain the flashing sign at the curve near the intersection of the state road and Shadow Lawn Way.
"That would lower their expenses and raise ours, so I can understand why they would want to do it," said County Commissioner Nora Patterson, who lives on the north end of Siesta.
The state will spend roughly $1.8 million maintaining Sarasota County roadways this year, according to a list of current projects on FDOT's website. It will also spend about $300,000 for street-lighting maintenance and $145,000 to reimburse the county for traffic signal operating and installation costs.
The state oversees mowing and litter maintenance at a rate of roughly $15,000 countywide.
Midnight Pass Road would fall under the county's north urban mowing zone, which the county had to split three ways after the failure of a single part-time contractor. The county's field services and purchasing departments are still working on a plan to hire a long-term landscaping firm and have hired 10 employees to bring the zone back to its normal mowing service.
"We have had informal conversations about this roadway, and there is some interest locally to make changes to the road," Tower said.
The Siesta Key Association has supported lowering the speed limit on Midnight Pass Road and spearheaded the effort to place six digital, radar, speed-limit signs, two of which are on Midnight Pass Road, on the island.
Those efforts concur with residents near the Shadow Lawn intersection, who raised the issue after the death of Donna Chen, who was struck and killed by a drunk driver while jogging.
Patterson, who in the past has supported decisions to decrease speed limits on the road, said she recently changed her position, based on the fact that if the speed limit is lowered golf carts can legally operate on roads with limits less than 40 miles per hour.
All types of low-speed electric vehicles would be able to take a direct route from the Stickney Point Bridge to the north bridge if the county decreased the speed limit on Midnight Pass Road from its intersection with Beach Road north to Higel Avenue, instead of traveling through the Village.
"A lot of people live on Siesta Key, not as a resort, as their home, and they go to work every day, and they like to be able to drive a half-way normal speed," Patterson said.

Matthew Rush details all the sexual shenanigans his friends have had since they hit town to muscle stud Zeb Atlas. And all this explicit talk of non-stop partying and wild sex is such a turn-on that the two men are compelled to unleash their pent-up excitement and arousal with one another. Matthew zones in on the hefty sausage spouting out from between Zeb's massive thighs. He is in hog heaven as he suckles that cock, slavishly licking every meaty inch.

Then he grabs Matthew's dick and strokes it until he shoots his load, the air charged with their grunts of pleasure.
