Dream Explanation

, it means he will gain victory over his enemy. But if he is known and there is no enmity between them then he the "bridge" will acquire some goodness from either the "groom" or someone who resembles him in name or personality.
Dream Explanation
— (Twenty one pebbles collected at Muzdalifa near the Plain of Arafa during the pilgrimage season and are used to stone the devil at a place called Jamarat.) In a dream, pelting
represent fidelity, paying one's debts, victory over one's enemy, or doing good deeds. To eat one of the
which are intended for pelting in a dream means to devour or steal the property of a young orphan. Pelting
in a dream also means fulfilling one's obligatory prayers and fasting, having earlier missed their performance for a legitimate reason. (Also see Pebbles; Pilgrimage; Jamarat)
Dream Explanation

from a high altitude down in every direction in a dream means being unjust toward others though from a position of strength. (Also see Cast; Stoning; Hazelnut; Rocks)
Dream Explanation
— If a person sees a grinding stone in motion, it signifies that he will most definitely acquire sustenance but after much difficulty and hardship, but such sustenance will be pure and halaal. If a grinding stone is seen grinding wheat thus producing flour, it means the observer will acquire sustenance as a result of someone else's toil. But if he, himself operates the grinding stone, it means he will earn his own livelihood. Sometimes, a mill or grinding stone represents fighting or quarrelling if there is anything to suggest this in the dream.
Rocks and
Dream Explanation
— These symbolize hardness of hear, cruelty, harshness and haughtiness.
Giving Dream Explanation
— (Allot; Distribute; Gift; Offer)
something in a dream indicates the value or worth of the giver. If one gives his workers or a needy person little money when they merit more, it denotes his disobedience to the commands of Allah Almighty, or straying away from the prophetic traditions. If one is denied what he is asking for in a dream, it means failure in his religious practices, suffering from the consequences of challenging others and arguing about religious laws, or it could represent one's perilous pursuit of heedless thoughts. If a sick person sees himself paying his debts in a dream, it means his death or the spoiling of his wealth. If he is healthy, then it denotes a case of mental derangement, anger, lack of self-control or raising one's voice unnecessarily. If a poor person sees himself paying someone's debt in a dream, it means that he will receive benefits. Receiving monetary compensation by a court order in a dream denotes lawful earnings.

Giving up the ghost Dream Explanation
— (Death) In a dream, the return of one's soul back to its Lord means remitting of a trust back to its rightful owner, the recovery of a sick person from his illness, the release of a prisoner from jail, or perhaps it could represent a reunion of people who love one another. (Also see Death)
Red Dream Explanation
— (The color red; Dignity; Nobility; Happiness) Wearing a
silken garment in a dream means a sickness. If a warrior sees himself wearing a
silken garment in a dream, it means that he will be decorated for his chivalry.

, the Carnelian-red was the first stone that testified to Allah's Oneness.

Such blessings will manifest in one's work and success in his material as well as spiritual life. A Carnelian-red stone in a dream also represents one's progeny, good religious conduct, good character, while seeing the white variety of this stone has a stronger meaning and a better attribute than the

A highly regarded curriculum development text, now with a global approach and an increased focus on technology.
In this re-imagined eighth edition of the respected and seminal curriculum development textbook, seasoned authors Jon Wiles and Joseph Bondi consider the new global realities of the 21st Century by adding a unique global perspective to the process of curriculum development. Ten nations are analyzed and compared in order to better understand common threads and time-tested methods for curriculum development and management. With the aid of numerous features and activities, the text investigates curriculum development by examining value decisions made by leaders in defining education, giving readers the opportunity to learn to develop programs for a wide array of purposes.
In addition to its well-known and established focus on the historical and philosophical aspects of curriculum development, the revised eighth edition of Curriculum Development: A Guide To Practice also includes updated chapters on the impact of technology on curriculum work in schools as well as a new chapter on curriculum work in the classroom.
This book looks promising, but the authors seem to be writing about recent-past trends in curriculum as if they were the waves of the future. They seem to have a strong bias for unstructured classrooms and postmodernism, even though those ideas appear to have reached their peaks and begun to decline in the real world. They talk at several points on the uselessness of standardized testing, but the consensus these days is it is an abdication of responsibility to omit verification of results in the classroom. The book also adds new sections on technology and here again I have my doubts that the authors really understand the topic. For example, in chapters one and six they write about the rise of the internet and it's effect on the classroom learning environment. Sound promising? I thought so and was sorely disappointed. They write about the internet as the vanguard of the unstructured classroom of the future, but provide little evidence to back it up. They write that it will... read more
This book is an excellent tool for those interested in curriculum development. It is simple enough to be understood for novice and complex enough for those with some experience.
The authors of this long-running text are way out front in focusing on the Internet as curriculum's future. The entire first
chapter is dedicated to what a technological district might look like and how curriculum decisions will shape that future in schools. Further reading brings the reader face-to-face with
the complexities of such value decisions.I use this text in my classes and find that students usually
select to keep it ater the class ends. What greater testimony to

Learn All about Our Long-Necked Friends.
Physical Characteristics
- The giraffe is the tallest living mammal with an overall height of 15-19'. Shoulder height is 8-12'; head/shoulder length is approximately 13' for the male.
- Weight is 1,100-2,800 lbs.
- The reticulated giraffes are handsomely patterned in golden browns, with a coarsely netted (reticulated) pattern mainly quadrangular in shape.
- Males and females have stiff manes along their necks.
- Both sexes have horn-like structures called ossicones (smaller on the females) on top of their heads between their ears. These ossicones are present at birth in the form of small knobs of cartilage covered with skin and hair which become bony nodules with age.
- They have seven vertebrae in the neck, the same as humans and most other mammals.
- The tail measures up to one yard with a terminal tuft of stiff, black hair.
- They have long tongues that measure 18-21 inches. The inner part of the tongue is pink in color, and then changes to a purplish-black color for the last 6 inches that are commonly visible.
- Giraffes have long legs and necks, long, tough, prehensile tongues, and leathery mouths for food gathering.
- Their coloration is protective.
- They are tall with good eyesight for watchfulness.
- Giraffes have high blood pressure (240/160) for pumping blood to the brain.
- Herds are small and loosely constructed of 5-15 individuals, consisting of one bull with females and young. Other bulls are solitary or in pairs.
- Giraffes usually sleep standing up.
- Going for a month without water is also possible as an adaptation to long drought periods in their native areas.
Ecological Niche
- Primary consumer (herbivore). A browsing ruminant that eats regularly throughout the day, the giraffe prefers young leaves and shoots at tops of acacia trees; they also consume twigs and bark.
- They prefer to drink regularly, but can go without water for several days.
- Giraffes can run up to 35 mph.
- Predators are leopards (prey on young), lions, and humans.
- Giraffes kick with their hooves and slam with their heads.
- Giraffes are non-seasonal breeders, usually producing one precocial calf after a gestation period of 14-15 months.
- Birth height is 5½-6'; birth weight is 100-150 lbs.
- They become sexually mature between 3 and 4 years of age.
- Giraffes have a life span of about 25 years (30+ in captivity).
- Full body size is not reached until age five.
Other Information
- The carotid artery that carries blood from the heart to the head is thick, muscular and elastic, ballooning when the giraffe stoops to absorb the increase in pressure. When the giraffe raises its head, a series of check valves in the inch-wide jugular vein prevents a sudden back flow from the emptying brain.
- Giraffes are most vulnerable to predators when drinking or lying down.
- They may see red-orange, yellow-green, purple, green and blue as colors.
- Their spot patterns are as individual as fingerprints.
- There are no known cases of giraffes swimming.
- Giraffe's have a variety of sounds but they are rarely heard. They may grunt or snort when alarmed; females may whistle to call their young, and calves can bleat.

She had stuffed this kid in a way too small stroller and the girl's feet were on the ground. She was whimpering to get out and her mom kept slapping her. I called 911 and got mall security but they didn't do s&%*t! What kind of mother slaps on the face for something so minor? And in public? I'm so frustrated. The next time I see something like this happen I'm going to tell the lady it's really hard to smack a kid in the face with a broken hand! Thanks for listening, chickies!

Fish Louse (Argulus americanus)
Volume 2, Issue 5
July 2000
Updated May 2002
Argulus americanus is a member of a small group of parasitic crustaceans that prey upon freshwater and marine fishes. Argulus can be found on the skin, fins, and gills of fishes. They can cause significant morbidity and mortality when heavily infesting fish. They have also been implicated as vehicles for other fish diseases.
Argulus americanus has a direct life cycle using only the fish as a host. Argulus can spend prolonged periods swimming free and mating takes place while the male and female are swimming. Clusters of Argulus eggs are deposited on submerged objects and after hatching, juveniles must locate a suitable host within a couple of days or they will expire.
Figure 1. Live Argulus from skin of largemouth bass.
This is not a difficult task, however, since Argulus aren't too fussy about their hosts. Argulus have been found parasitizing: bowfins, drums, gars, herrings, killifishes, perches, pikes, sticklebacks, sturgeons, sunfishes, salmonids, and temperate basses.
Argulus can be seen moving rapidly around on the surface of the fish, but will often swim away as soon as the fish is netted out of the water. Affected fish have patches of hemorrhagic and edematous affected skin, gills or fins. The parasite causes these injuries by attaching to the fish with its curved hooks and sucker. Its feeding apparatus further injures the host fish when it inserts the stylet into the epidermis and underlying host tissue causing hemorrhage. Argulus feed on the host's blood and body fluids. The feeding apparatus also releases digestive enzymes which can cause systemic illness.
Special points of interest:
Argulus americanus does not infest humans.
Argulus can be found on many different species of freshwater fishes.
Cooking fish kills the parasite, but most will voluntarily leave the fish when it is removed from the water.
For more information see Hoffman 1999. Parasites of North American Freshwater Fishes.

Hey guys, I'm super pumped right now! Just finished getting my brew stand all together. I'm really, seriously, thinking about starting my own brewing co. I'm going to call it Mr. Wobbly Brewing Co. (see avatar to the left) Any way here are some pics of what is the beginning of Mr. Wobbly Brewing Co. currently located in the basement. I know its not the prettiest but thats why its the beginning. Cheers guys.
I would like to live in theory, everything works in theory. Pork Chops taste good, bacon taste good.
Good looking setup! Just make sure you keep a CO detector in the basement if you're gonna be brewing down there.
You should consider adding some diagonal lateral trusses to your setup. Then it won't be so wobbly and is less likely to fold over flat on you. The lateral perpendicular ones you have are only helping vertical buckling, but would not prevent the structure from collapsing off of vertical. Take a cue from bridge design.
From your pic looks more like Wobbly's wine
If you ever feel you have too much wine, I could take some off your hands.

The Perfect Test Of Whether Someone Likes You
Is she laughing at you? And is that good or bad?
Ask anyone what he or she most values in a date or a marriage partner , and "sense of humor" is likely to come to the top of the list. But when Norm Li and I asked several hundred students in my classes what they meant by a good "sense of humor" in a date, men and women gave slightly different answers. The women were more likely to say a man has a good sense of humor when "he makes me laugh." The men were more likely to mean "someone who laughs at my jokes."
We believe there's a reason for the sex difference, linked to what evolutionary biologists call "sexual selection." Throughout the animal kingdom, males are more likely to show off (think of peacocks), whereas females are more likely to play careful comparison shoppers, evaluating the male's displays. Why? Biologists have shown it's because females have to invest a lot in any given offspring, while the males can often get by with a minimal investment of sperm.
To attract the more selective females, the males need to compete: "Pick me! Pick me!" hoping to demonstrate that they have better characteristics to pass on to the offspring. The story is a little more complex in humans, where men typically stay around and help the offspring, but the biological price is still usually a lot higher for a human female (who must carry the fetus and nurse the newborn, besides typically providing more of the childcare throughout most of human history in all known human cultures). Nevertheless, men in a mating frame of mind do show off a lot more than females, becoming more creative, spending more frivolously, or doing crazy stunts on their skateboards (see below for references to some entertaining studies on the ridiculous lengths men will go to in the interest of attracting women).
Norm and I never published those findings, because other researchers had a similar hunch, and published their findings before we did (see the study by Bressler and colleagues, also cited below).
Meanwhile, though, Norm and several other colleagues branched off to study the broader communication function of humor. Does your spouse still care for you? Are you getting along with your boss? Is that blind date bored or excited with you? A great gauge of their feelings is whether they are laughing at your jokes. You don't need to be a stage comic either. If someone really likes you, you can tell them a joke about a chicken crossing the road, and they are likely to laugh. If they don't like you, you can use Woody Allen's best material, and you'll hear: "I don't get it. Are you trying to be funny?"
Norm talks about how he developed his humor communication theory in his first blog posting for Psychology Today last week, which has quickly become one of their most popular postings ever. Check out the link below. Norm also has a link to the scientific paper reporting on the research, if you want the technical details.

The Library has a remarkable number of the editions and translations of the wonderful collection of Arabic stories known as The Thousand and One Nights. Together with the first translation to appear in a Western language (the translation by Antoine Galland into French [(Ex) 2263.2706.2]) the Library has two very early editions of English translations of the Arabian Nights, as well:
1. London, 1706. (This may be the earliest English translation.)
2. London: Osborn and Longman, 1728-1730. Library has a complete set (12 volumes bound in 6).
Overall, the collection is a substantial number of volumes. Refer to: James Holly Hanford, "Open Sesame: Notes on the Arabian Nights in English" in the Princeton University Library Chronicle XXVI, 1 (Autumn, 1964) pp. 48-56 [ full text].
The architectural holdings of the Library are rich and varied. Modern materials, of course, are to be found in the Urban and Environmental Studies Library in the Architecture Building here on campus. Historical items are found among the many books of Marquand and Firestone Libraries as well as among the manuscript holdings of Archives and the Manuscripts Division.
There is a large collection of early printed architectural books in the Marquand Art Library's Rare Books department. Starting with early editions of Vitruvius, Grapaldi, and Alberti, the collection includes nearly 400 volumes published between 1485 and 1825 mainly in Italy, France, and England. There are also a few books on architecture printed in Spain, Germany, and the Low Countries. Essentially, the collection is a strong gathering of the fundamental books needed to form a basic library of historical architectural books of Western Europe. Some of the authors encountered, in addition to those mentioned above, include: Blondel, Delorme, Furtenbach, Halfpenny, Langley, Pain (William), Palladio (Andrea) (about 10 editions), Scamozzi, Serlio, and Vignola. Special clusters of choice books not to be overlooked in the collection are the 18th century English architectural books as well as the late 18th and early 19th century English architectural books on villas, rustic, and country houses.
In Winter 1985, an exhibition of books, prints, manuscripts and drawings was held in the Gould Exhibition Gallery at Firestone Library. With only one or two exceptions, the printed books came from the Rare Book Collection at Marquand Art Library in McCormick Hall. The drawings were chiefly from the Manuscripts Division of the Department of Rare Books and Special Collections.
The books illustrated the so-called classical tradition in architecture, a system based on the high-style building forms of ancient Greece and Rome. In those countries which adopted classical forms, such as England, France, Spain, Germany, and the Low Countries, this system stands in direct contrast to the vernacular tradition. Books published in these countries during the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries detail the classical tradition, aided the process of educating men in its theories, and thereby spread the rejection of vernacular traditions.
The exhibition began with editions of Vitruvius, the first century Roman architect whose work is the only such kind to come down to us today. He inspired many great architects of the Renaissance, including Alberti, Bramante, Palladio, and Michelangelo. During the Renaissance, his writings were issued in lavishly illustrated editions and shown were that of Venice, 1511 (also the first illustrated architectural book to be published in Europe) and Como, 1511 (also showing cuts of the Milan cathedral, the earliest illustrations of Gothic architecture published in Europe) as well as several early translations. Following Vitruvius came editions of works by Grapaldi, Vignola, Alberti, Serlio, and Palladio, all illustrating the spread and development of the theories of classical architecture in sixteenth century Italy.
Following the section on these Italian masters came a series of displays covering the theorists of the classical tradition in seventeenth century France and eighteenth century England. In the French section were shown the large and grandly illustrated editions of Philibert de l'Orme, Jacques Androuet du Cerceau, François Blondel, and Roland Fréart, Sieur de Chambray. For England, on display were books with designs by Colen Campbell, Inigo Jones, Isaac Ware, and William Kent. Also shown were numerous handbooks by Batty Langley, the form of which was the progenitor of early American architectural books.
Most of the drawings were first gathered as part of the Archives of American Architecture, a collecting program of the Library directed by head librarian Julian Boyd during the 1940's. Many are in the Beaux Arts tradition and include works by Pennington Satterthwaite (Class of 1893) and designs by Robert W. Gibson (1854-1927) for the 1903 New York Stock Exchange competition. Also shown were plates from Frank Lloyd Wright's "Wasmuth Portfolio" (from a copy given by Mr. Wright to the Library) as well as correspondence and notes relating to Mr. Wright given to the Library by Arthur C. Holden, Class of 1912, and William H. Short, Class of 1946.

Detail from Atlas or A Geographicke Description of the Regions, Countries and Kingdomes of the World (Amsterdam, 1636) [(Ex) 1009.634e ] |
The Library's chief repository of maps and atlases is the Geosciences and Map Library, situated at Guyot Hall. The chief strength of the Library is in maps published since 1919 from throughout the world. By comparison to these, there are greatly fewer antiquarian maps (i.e. such printed during the hand-press period or before 1820) in this collection. The focus of the collection is contemporary maps, although some geologic and topographic maps dating from the mid-nineteenth century are held. The collection is evolving from its emphasis on geologic and physical maps to include a large collection of general, political and other thematic maps.
The Historic Maps Collection (housed within the Department of Rare Books and Special Collections at Firestone Library) holds flat maps, cased maps, atlases and gazetteers printed before 1919 (the end of World War I). A number of these have been imaged. The General Rare Books Collection also holds atlases of antiquarian maps, and a group of early tour guides published by Baedeker and by Ward, Lock and Co.
Some of the Library's outstanding maps are:
1. The rare "White Hills" map of New England, which is the first map produced in North America. It was issued in William Hubbard's A Narrative of the Troubles with the Indians. Boston, 1677. For details refer to the Princeton University Library Chronicle XIV, 4 (Summer, 1953) p. 177-182 [full text] .
2. The Mason and Dixon map of 1768; both the engraved version in its entirety and the manuscript original of the Eastern portion. See: Thomas Streeter, "Princeton's Mason and Dixon Map" in the Princeton University Library Chronicle XVI, 2 (Winter, 1955) pp. 97-99 [full text] and [Howard C.

Rice, "The World of John James Audubon; Catalogue of an Exhibition at the Princeton University Library. 15 May-30 September 1959" published in the Princeton University Library Chronicle XXI, 1&2 (Autumn, 1959 & Winter, 1959) pp. 9-88. [full text] There is also an earlier version of this text available as a typescript exhibition catalogue. See "An Audubon Anthology" [(ExB) 0639.739 no. 6] [full text].
Library has also a copy of the double elephant folio Birds of America [(Ex) Oversize 8880.134.1860e]. It was received as a gift from Alexander van Rensselaer, Class of 1871, during the academic year 1928-29. The Library also has a group of books from the library of Audubon or his family. See 1954 Princeton University Library Chronicle index for several entries for Audubon.

The Manuscripts Division holds the John James Audubon collection, 1788-1969 [(MSS) C0006], consists of original manuscripts, photostats and transcripts of additional manuscripts, and printed material relating to Audubon, his life and work. In addition, there are original letters by Mrs. Lucy Audubon, his sons, John and Julia Bachman, members of the Bakewell family, and Francis Herrick.
A barrister of Lincoln's Inn, Bailey is a poet who came to the fore in the time between the Romantics and Victorians. He is one whom William Aytoun named as a member of the 'Spasmotic School' of poets. In the 1940's, the Library received a collection of works by Bailey. See: Morse Peckham, "A Bailey Collection [presented to Princeton]" in the Princeton University Library Chronicle VII, 4 (June, 1946) pp. 149-154 [full text] . See also the article by Morse Peckham which includes a checklist of the American editions of [Bailey's] Festus: Morse Peckham, "American Editions of Festus, a preliminary study" in Princeton University Library Chronicle VIII, 4 (June, 1947) pp. 177-184 [full text] . The collection is part of the General Rare Books Collection (Ex).
The Manuscripts Division holds the Philip James Bailey collection, 1855-1946 [(MSS) C0148], which consists primarily of correspondence by Bailey to a selection of correspondents, including letters by both Bailey and his wife, Anna Sophia, to Bailey's nephew John H. Brown.

Call number is (Exov) M1628.C65 1800z. Another set of ballads is largely 18th Century English. The call number for the box is (Exov) M1628.C65 1700z.
Greatly augmented by a collection from the estate of Archibald S. Alexander, Class of 1928, the Library has a sizable collection of Baskervilles (books renowned for their typographic beauty which were designed, printed, and published by John Baskerville between 1757 and 1779. in Birmingham, England). The collection--42 of the 56 Baskerville books described by Philip Gaskell in his 1959 bibliography--is in the Graphic Arts Collection.

Sylvia Beach Collection
Location designator: Beach
Sylvia Beach, oil on canvas, by Paul-Emile Becat (1923) [Sylvia Beach Papers (C0108) Series IX, item 1 ] |
Sylvia Beach was proprietor of Shakespeare and Company, the Paris bookshop which was a meeting-point for French, English, Irish and American writers during the 1920's and 1930's.
The separately arranged, classed and catalogued collection includes books and manuscripts by authors such as James Joyce, Gordon Craig, Arthur Symons, Ford Madox Ford, Frank Harris, Norman Douglas, Ivy Litvinov, Richard Aldington, Stuart Gilbert, Cyril Connolly, D.H. Lawrence, Stephen Spender, and Dorothy Richardson. Also French writers Adrienne Monnier, Valéry Larbaud, Léon-Paul Fargue, Jean Schlumberger, Paul Valéry, André Gide, Jules Romains, Jean Giono, André Chamson, Jean Prévost, and Henri Michaux. Many of the books are first editions and are inscribed to Sylvia Beach.
The collection also includes materials on James Joyce, particularly relating to his Shakespeare and Company publications of Ulysses and other writings. Ephemeral pamphlets, magazine publications of the above authors' works are also included in the collection. The collection includes 1615 catalogued volumes.
According to the Wilson Library Bulletin (January, 1965, p. 357), "in 1960, William S. Dix, university librarian, began negotiating with Miss Beach, ... to obtain her collection of manuscripts, inscribed editions, photos, sketches, and memorabilia. Last spring (i.e. spring, 1964), this material was transferred to the University from Miss Beach's Paris apartment where it had been stored since her death in 1962. ... The collection was acquired by the University through the generosity of Graham D. Mattison, and the cooperation of Miss Beach's surviving sister, Mrs. Frederic J.Dennis of Greenwich, Conn." See also the New York Times (Dec. 5, 1964, p. 26) for more details.
For particulars refer to: Howard C. Rice, "The Sylvia Beach Collection" in the Princeton University Library Chronicle XXVI, 1 (Autumn, 1964) pp. 7-13 [ full text]. See also H.C. Rice's "The Sylvia Beach Collection" published in Manuscripts XVIII, 3 (Summer, 1966) pp. 3-8. (This article is a slightly abridged version of the 1964 Princeton University Library Chronicle article.)
See also the Sylvia Beach Papers [(MSS) C0108] and finding aid, which collection is substantially a complete personal archive of Beach. It consists primarily of general correspondence and materials related to the bookshop.
Several expatriate presses operating in France at the time of the beginning of the century are represented in this collection:
1. Black Sun Press: an extensive collection of the works published by Harry and Caresse Crosby in Paris. Originally known as the "Editions Narcisse," the press's second name was adopted in 1928.2. Black Manikin Press: several volumes printed at this press in Paris during 1920 and 1930 are included. The press was founded by Edward W. Titus, who edited This Quarter after Ernest Walsh's death.
3. Three Mountains Press (Contact Editions): 33 titles with the imprint of the press. Within this group are titles by Ernest Hemingway, Ezra Pound, Gertrude Stein, and others.
4. Story: a magazine devoted entirely to the short story and printed in Vienna and New York by Whit Burnett and Martha Foley from 1931-53. The hard-to-find mimeographed first number of v. 1 is in the Beach collection.
The catalogue of an exhibition held in Paris at Le Centre Culturel Américain has been checked against Princeton holdings. The exhibition was held before the death of Sylvia Beach, and she was, in fact, a major donor for the exhibition. Many of the volumes shown for the exhibition have in the meanwhile come to Princeton via the Beach collection: Les années vingt: les écrivains Américains à Paris et leurs amis. 1920-1930. Exposition du 11 Mars au 25 Avril 1959. (Copy marked with Library's holdings is [(ExB) 04703.247]).

Illustration by Beardsley published in The Yellow Book, 1894 [(Ex) 0901.699] |
The Princeton Library possesses an outstanding collection of material relating to the short-lived English illustrator Aubrey Beardsley. Though particularly rich in drawings, manuscripts, and letters, there are also printed materials.
The Gallatin Beardsley Collection.
The nucleus of the collection was received as a gift from Albert E. Gallatin. Presented to the Library in 1948, the collection included at the time 96 volumes with illustrations or cover designs by Beardsley, along with 10 volumes written by him. A large group of the books associated with the artist is also included. The collection is of exceptional importance in that it reveals the development and scope of Beardsley's work. It also supplements significantly the Library's collection of material relating to the Victorian era.
Included in the collection are also volumes which contain Beardsley illustrations, his own literary works, articles and monographs concerning Aubrey Beardsley, catalogues of exhibitions, dealers' and sales catalogues, and association items. These are cataloged and available in the Library's online catalogue.
The best short-form listing of the collection is The Gallatin Beardsley Collection in the Princeton University Library. A Catalogue compiled by A.E. Gallatin and Alexander D. Wainwright. Princeton, New Jersey: Princeton University Library, 1952. [(ExB) 3622.48.073 and (F) 3622.48.073]. [full text] Since 1952, the collection has been distributed among the collections of the Department, with parts going to the Manuscripts Division (Aubrey Beardsley collection, 1890-1946 [(MSS) C0056]), the Rare Book Division, and to Graphic Arts. This chart maps the major series in the 1952 Wainwright catalogue to their present whereabouts. Another aid is a copy of the catalogue annotated for holdings and sometimes giving call numbers for individual items for items in sections III to XIII. This copy has the call number (Ex) NE642.B364 A1. However, more up to date for sections III to XIII is this listing prepared in 2012.
Today the collection numbers 425 volumes (catalogued and forming part of the General Rare Books Collection), since the Library has added a great deal to Mr. Gallatin's gift over the years.
Princeton acquired in 1954-55 the unique dummy copy of the controversial fifth volume of The Yellow Book with 11 cablegrams to and from John Lane concerning the suppression of Beardsley's drawings for the volume. For particulars refer to: J. Benjamin Townsend, '40, "The Yellow Book", in the Princeton University Library Chronicle XVI, 2 (Winter, 1955) pp. 101-103 [full text], which discusses the suppressed volume V.
Many Beardsley items can also be found in the Robert H. Taylor Collection.
For further particulars refer to: Princeton University Library Chronicle XII, 2 (Winter, 1951) pp. 67-82 [full text] , and Princeton University Library Chronicle XII, 3 (Spring, 1951) pp. 126-147 [full text] ;

Together with the rich holdings of the Robert H. Taylor Collection, the collection at Princeton is one of the finest.
For particulars refer to: John Felstiner, "Changing Faces in Max Beerbohm's Caricature" in the Princeton University Library Chronicle XXXIII, 2 (Winter, 1972) pp. 73-88, [ full text] in which the recently acquired 1896 copy of Caricatures of Twenty-Five Gentlemen appears. In the copy, Beerbohm has redrawn more than half the portraits on facing pages and humorously annotated them. See also Robert Viscusi, "A Dandy's Diary: The Manuscripts of Max Beerbohm's Zuleika Dobson " in the Chronicle XL, 3 (Spring, 1979), pp. 234-56 [ full text] (including five plates) in which Viscusi proves that "the manuscripts of Zuleika show us Beerbohm in the process of shaping his image of himself."
The entire Winter, 1982 issue of the Chronicle is given over to a 76-page article [ full text] (including 21 plates) by Lawrence Danson: "Max Beerbohm and The Mirror of the Past. "It is an elaborate and ingenious article on an unpublished Beerbohm manuscript, of about 100 unbound leaves, in the Robert H. Taylor Collection. Mr. Taylor has written on Beerbohm's literary credo in his collection of essays, Certain Small Works (Princeton, 1980), pp. 83-98, and has published a checklist of his Beerbohm collection in the Gazette of the Grolier Club.

Scheide Library Collection of Early Bibles
The Scheide Library is the only library outside Europe to include all 18 of the pre-Luther German Bible editions, the earliest of which is the edition printed by Johan Mentelin in Strasbourg [before 27 June 1466]. Besides these pre-Luther vernacular Bibles, the Scheide Library also contains the first editions of Martin Luther's New Testament (Wittenberg, September 1522) with woodcuts from the workshop of Lucas Cranach, three volumes of the Old Testament (1523-24), the Prophets (1532), and the first complete edition (1534).
It also has the first Dutch Bible text, the Old Testament (Delft. Jacob van der Meer and Mauricius Yemantszoen, Jan. 1477.) as well as 4 (the largest collection in America) of the 11 editions of the Italian Bible printed in the 15th century.
Also notable is their copy of the first French New Testament (Lyons, printed by Guillaume LeRoy, 1476.)
Details are to be found in: Paul Needham, "Incunabula, Bibles and Early Americana in the Scheide Library" in the Chronicle XXXVII, 2 (Winter, 1976) pp. 85-93 [ full text] .
The article by Needham also describes many other "firsts" in Bible printing, Czech, Spanish, Scandinavian, English, etc. In addition to the Needham article see also: Mina R. Bryan, "The Scheide Library" in the Book Collector vol. 21, no. 4 (Winter, 1972) p. 495 ff.
Also see the handlist of exhibits and annoucement for the Spring 2004 exhibiton "The Bible in English: Before and After the Hampton Court Conference, 1604."
Information about such notabilia can be difficult to come by, but not to be overlooked are the indexes for such in David Foxon's English Verse or in the Hunt Botanical collection catalogue prepared by Allan Stevenson or in the Pforzheimer catalogue prepared by William Jackson. Also see Roger Stoddard's Marks in Books (Cambridge, 1985) for such notabilia in Harvard collections.
At Princeton, such information is scattered and to find it one must look in a number of sources such as the Special Card File on the Book Arts in the reference area of the 1st floor rooms of the Department of Rare Books and Special Collections, in the card files for book illustrators both in Graphic Arts and in the RBSC reference room, and in the folder headed "Bibliographical Notabilia at Princeton" in the Collections File. It is also important to use the keyword searching capability of the online catalogue to find such notabilia. As a sampling, see the following:

Tacketed binding / call number: (Ex) 2512.564 |
The Library's most recent effort to exhibit and explain its bindings is the website prepared during 2004, entitled "Hand Bookbindings: Plain and Simple to Grand and Glorious." Selection, arrangement, and description of these bindings is based on the the exhibition by the same name appearing in the in the Library's main gallery from November 10, 2002 to April 20, 2003.
Within the General Rare Books Collection, the Manuscript Division, and the Graphic Arts Collection are several groups of interesting book bindings, both fine and/or historic. The group most immediate to hand are those 100 outstanding bindings identified by Jamie Shalleck (Kamph) in 1978 and described in her catalogue Fine Bindings: Gothic to Modern (Princeton: Princeton University Library, 1978). [(Ex) Z269.xP74 and (F) Z269.P74]. All 100 exhibits are owned by the Library, starting with a jeweled 12th-century binding and continuing on to a fine binding done ca. 1932.
Also note her article "Identifying and Classifying Fine Bindings" in A Miscellany for Bibliophiles edited by H. George Fletcher (New York, 1979) pp. 127-157. The article contains many illustrations of bindings at Princeton together with commentary. She also discusses two anachronistic (possibly counterfeit) bindings.
Also see the file of notes on bindings in Scheide, Taylor and the General Rare Book Collections which was gathered by Mrs. Kamph (Shalleck) in preparation for her exhibition catalogue. The notes describe the bindings, are arranged chronologically, but are un-indexed. File kept in the office of the Curator of Rare Books.
Also to be considered are the following groups: 1) as examples of rudimentary techniques, the Ethiopic codices held by the Manuscripts Division; 2) the Metzdorf Collection of Victorian Bindings (q.v.) and 3) the Bindings Collection in the Graphic Arts Collection.
Among the special files for the General Rare Books Collection is one for bindings, listing them by binder, locality, and date of production as well as by special type.
Willman Spawn of the American Philosophical Society has identified and localized a number of bindings in the Princeton University Library. (Mr. Spawn has further details.) A summary of some of Mr. Spawn's findings are in an annotated copy of the catalogue Early American Bookbindings from the collection of Michael Papantonio (New York, 1972) [(GA) Z270.U5 E37]
Also see the catalogue of a small exhibition of American bindings (1700-1920) prepared by Stephen Ferguson in 1983 [(ExB) 0639.739 no. 44]. [full text].
Also consult the Collections File under the heading "Bindings." There are folders for jeweled bindings as well as detailing particulars regarding bindings examined and discussed by Nicholas Pickwoad during his 1995 and 1996 seminars at the Library.

American poet, novelist, essayist and short-story writer. A check-list of Bishop's publications can be found in the Chronicle. For particulars refer to: Max J. Patrick and Robert Wooster Stallman, "John Peale Bishop: A Checklist" in the Princeton University Library Chronicle VII, 2 (February, 1946) pp. 62-79 [full text] . Of the 20 editions of his works in the Library, 12 are in Ex.
The John Peale Bishop papers, 1916-1947 [(MSS) C0138], consists of manuscripts, correspondence, documents, drawings, printed materials, and memorabilia of Bishop (Princeton Class of 1917).
Poet and critic; resident fellow in creative writing (1940-48) and professor of English (1948-65) at Princeton. The Library has many volumes relating to Blackmur including items associated with him and found in his library. A portion of the collection was dispersed throughout the Library's general and rare book collections. (See the Association File for particular titles in the Rare Book Collections.)
Also the collection includes volumes of contemporary poetry and criticism and volumes of the works of Professor Blackmur which he edited or which contain contributions by him.
These books fall into the following categories: 1. Annotated; some heavily. 2. Teaching texts and 3. Books by authors whom he reviewed or about whom he wrote critically. They are catalogued as a collection and stored at ReCAP. Text of the finding aid is here.
All of his unpublished writing (short stories, novels, and plays) has been Xeroxed and bound in five volumes.
For a collection of periodicals in which his works appeared, see the collection entitled Miscellaneous works by R. P. Blackmur, 1928-1964, which contains 19 journal issues. [(Ex) PS3503.L266 A6 1928q]
Detail, 'Thou Hast Fulfilled the Judgement of the Wicked' plate 16 in Illustrations of the Book of Job (1825) GA 2007.02171 |
The Library has "one of the great Blake collections in the United States." It is described by Gerald E. Bentley Jr. in the Princeton University Library Chronicle XXXV, 3 (Spring, 1974) p. 324 [ full text] . Also consult under Princeton the index to G. Bentley's Blake Books (Oxford, 1977) [(Ex) Z8103.B4.1977].
The collection is based on the gift of Mrs. Gerard B. Lambert of Princeton in 1960 and was augmented by the bequest of Caroline Newton in 1974. Mrs. Lambert was the wife of an alumnus, class of 1908, and a resident of Princeton. Charles Ryskamp, in his published memoir of American women book collectors, tells the circumstances of Mrs. Lambert's gift. He began teaching in the English Department at Princeton in 1955, including Blake in his instruction. "...[S]he ... suddenly gave [the collection] to Princeton University when she learned that students there had no original work of Blake to enjoy and to study." ( The Ladies, God Bless Them: Recollections of American Women Book Collectors [New York: The Grolier Club, 2007], p. 12). Caroline Newton was the daughter of the famous early 20th century American book collector, A. Edward Newton. A portion of her Blake gifts were formerly owned by her father.
As stated by Bentley in Blake Books, the Library has:
1. Illuminated works:
America, A Prophecy (1793) - two of sixteen copies [(Ex) 3631.3.312q c.1 and 2]; Visions of the Daughters of Albion (1793) - one of 17 copies [(Ex) 3631.3.393q]; For the Sexes (copy J); Songs of Innocence and of Experience (copies U,g1,j); Urizen pl. 9; Marriage of Heaven and Hell pl 11.
2. Type-printed works:
Poetical sketches London, 1783. (Bentley copy I) [(Ex) 3631.3.372 1783].
3. Others:
a. Hayley's broadside ballad entitled Little Tom the Sailor with two designs by Blake (October 8, 1800) - very rare; [(Ex) 3776.3.359q].b. Designs to a Series of Ballads, Written by William Hayley, Esq. (1802) 1st edition. Six copperplates by Blake. [(Ex) 3776.3.314.11]
c. Illustrations of the Book of Job. (1826). [(Ex) Oversize 3631.3.347.12f].
For particulars refer to: Charles Ryskamp, "A Blake Collection for Princeton" in the Princeton University Library Chronicle XXI, 3 (Spring, 1960) pp. 172-175 [ full text] as well as Charles Ryskamp. William Blake, Engraver: A Descriptive Catalogue of an Exhibition. (Princeton: Princeton University Library, 1969) [(Ex) ND497.B5.R95]
Also see: Charles Ryskamp, "Songs of Innocence and of Experience and Miss Caroline Newton's Blake Collection" in the Princeton University Library Chronicle XXIX, 2 (Winter, 1968) pp.150-55 [ full text] , which states that the gift of Caroline Newton is the "most beautiful and important work of Blake at Princeton." It is copy U (Keynes and Wolf census) of Songs of Innocence and of Experience, Shewing the Two Contrary States of the Human Soul. There are 54 plates by Blake [(Ex) 3631.3.388.1794 c. 1].
According to official history of the Library published ca. 1915, the Library had at that time 95 volumes of books for the blind. (Cf. Princeton University Library, p. 57 [ExB 0639.7373.7])
Only a few of these remain. Two were published by the Perkins Institution in Boston: a Bible (8 vols.) published by the American Bible Society has embossed roman letters [(Ex) BS185 1841 .N4q]; and Milton's Poetical works (2 vols.), also printed in embossed roman letters [(Ex) 3859.1855q].
A second group is printed in William Moon's special embossed "letter-forms", which resemble simplified letters. The volumes include The epistles of Paul (in 3 v.) [(Ex) HV1678 .B56 P374 1858q] and The gospel according to St. Mark (in 1 v.), published in 1858 [(Ex) HV1678 .B56 M374 1858q].
The Graphic Arts department holds two books by Sebastian Guillie, Essai sur l'instruction des aveugles [(GAX) HV1626 .G9], and Notice historique sur l'instruction des jeunes aveugles [(GAX) HV1631.5 .G85 1819q], which discuss education for the blind. Valentin Hauy also wrote on the subject; a translation of his book is bound into a book of poems by the late reverend Dr. Thomas Blacklock [(Ex) PR3318.B49 A7 1793].
Blockbooks, or xylographica, were produced in Europe. Similar to a picture book in style, where there are more illustrations than text. The illustration and accompanying text were cut with the knife on wood, and printed on one side of the paper only.
In the Graphic Arts Collection, there are three leaves of an early or mid-? 15th century blockbook, classed in the Book Leaves Collection, GC110. These are presumably the gift of Junius Spencer Morgan, being probably the leaves exhibited during October 20-22, 1896, as item 52 in "List of Exhibits in the Chancellor Green Library, Oct. 20,21 and 22, 1896." See also Alumni Princetonian, Vol II, p. 48 (Sept. / Oct., 1895) recording his gift of 'three pages of the Biblia Pauperum.'
In the Scheide Library are a 40 leaf Biblia pauperum and a 3 leaf fragment. See the Library's main catalogue for details.
The "Bluestockings" were a group of literary ladies and gentlemen of 18th-century London whose most famous members were Mrs. Elizabeth (Robinson) Montagu (1720-1800); Miss Elizabeth Carter (1717-1806); Mrs. Boscawen (1719-1805); Mrs. Chapone (1727-1801); and Mrs. Vesey (1715-91). "The origin of the term is to be found [in that] many of those who attended eschewed 'full dress,' among them Benjamin Stillingfleet, who habitually wore blue worsted, in lieu of black silk, stockings. In reference to this, Admiral Boscawen is said to have dubbed the coterie the 'Blue Stocking Society.'" (Oxford Companion to English Literature).
In about the early 1960's, the Library made an effort under the guidance of Professor Charles Ryskamp, then Bibliographer for English and American Literature, to collect the works of these ladies. This foundation collection is still being added to. All books in this collection are part of the General Rare Books Collection (Ex).
George H. Boker (1823-1890) Cl' 1842 |
In 1924-25, the Library received 2,831 books from Boker's private library and these were scattered throughout its collections.
There are 57 entries listed for Boker in the Bibliography of American Literature. and it is likely these are marked for Princeton's holdings. A founding member of the Union League of Philadelphia, it is thought that he may have been a compiler for their publications. In addition, he was Minister to Turkey (1871-1875) and Envoy to Russia (1875-1878).
The Manuscripts Division holds the George H. Boker manuscripts, 1847-1886 [(MSS) C0208], which consists of manuscripts of poems and plays by Boker (Princeton Class of 1842). Most of the eleven plays in the collection appear in several versions; generally, there is an autograph manuscript and typescript copy for each, but for many of the plays there are also revised versions and actors' copies.
Catalogued, useable, but incomplete runs of catalogues of selected American, English and Continental book auction catalogues are kept by the Department. The catalogues are now listed in the online main catalogue and each record shows the extent of the run. Access is through the Rare Books reading room, as the catalogues are stored in the ReCAP offsite storage facility. The Library no longer adds to these runs of catalogues, chiefly because of lack of staff and shelving to keep them current. The latest issuance date we are likely to have for any dealer in the following list is 1991, except for Sothebys and Christies, which are kept current. Earliest catalogues date to the end of the 19th century. Note that the Library has individually catalogued many auction catalogues, especially for major book sales as those for Brayton Ives, Robert Hoe, Jerome Kern, A.E. Newton, Thomas Streeter, et al.
The following houses have been retained:
Ader Picard Tajan; Anderson Galleries (also under American Art Association, Anderson Galleries); Bangs & Co.; J.L. Beijers; Bloomsbury Book Auctions; Charles Hamilton Galleries; Haus der Bücher; Hauswedell & Nolte; Hendsey Inc.; Stan. V. Henkels; Hodgson and Co., Laurin, Guilloux, Buffetaud, Tailleur; C.F. Libbie & Co.; Parke-Bernet Galleries; Phillips Son & Neale; Reiss & Sohn (formerly Reiss & Auvermann); Sotheby & Co.; Sotheby Parke Bernet; J.A. Stargardt; Swann Galleries; Van Gendt Book Auctions BV.
See also the entry: ANTIQUARIAN BOOKSELLERS CATALOGUES in this Guide.
About 243 catalogued volumes, 130 uncatalogued volumes concerning bookplates. The collection is supplemented by 12,000 individual bookplates. Additions are being made.
A large part of the collection was the gift of Mrs. Gilbert Troxell. The entire bookplate collection is now housed within the Graphic Arts Collection.
Also, among the special files for the General Rare Books Collection, there is a multi-drawer file of cards for bookplates in books in the General Rare Books Collection (Ex).
See also the Clifford Nickles Carver mss. collection: Clifford Nickles Carver papers, 1897-1965, [(MUDD) MC010), for his bookplates and publications concerning them.
Detail, A Selection of Hexandrian Plants, by Priscilla Susan Bury. [London, 1831] (GAX) NE2047.6.H384 B87 1831e |
In 1958-59, the Library received as a bequest of Gordon L. Harris '16 a collection of books and prints on the orchid. For particulars refer to: Dale Roylance, "A Collection of Orchid Books" in the Princeton University Library Chronicle XX, 2 (Winter, 1959) pp. 122-23 [full text] . The collection forms part of the General Rare Books Collection (Ex).
Presented in 1971-72, the Sydnor Barksdale Penick Collection of Botanical Books contains about 32 volumes dating from 1568 (William Turner's Herball) to the mid-19th century. For particulars refer to the Princeton University Library Chronicle XXXIV, 1 (Autumn, 1972) p. 87-8 [ full text] .
In September 1989, an anonymous
donation brought to the Library a choice collection of 23 herbals and other
early printed books on related subjects. Many of the books came from Thuya Lodge
on Mt. Desert, Maine. A list of the accessions is in the Curator's vertical
file under Thuya Lodge Collection.
Also available as a PDF.
During the academic year 2002-2003,
Mrs. Margaret Field, a public librarian from
Clarksburg, N.J., has donated her pristine copy of
Selection of Hexandrian Plants, Belonging to the Natural
Orders Amaryllidae and Liliacae,
from Drawings
by Mrs. Edward [Priscilla Susan] Bury
[1831]). It contains thirty exquisitely hand-colored
aquatints -- each of a single life-size flower -- by Robert
Havell, who engraved the plates for Audubon's
Birds of America.
The gift from Mrs. Landon K. Thorne (a descendant of Elisha Boudinot, who was the younger brother of Elias, member and President of the Continental Congress) included portraits, furniture, silver, manuscripts, and miscellaneous items owned originally by Elias Boudinot. Also included in the collection are a number of volumes from the Boudinot library.
About 20 volumes are association copies and are accessible through the Association File.
W. Crisp, The Printers' Sheet of Miscellaneous Trade Receipts (187-) — (Ex) Broadside 390 [Full size] |
In the General Rare Books Collection, there are several groups of broadsides. These are in varying states of accessibility and arrangement. Ordinary size broadsides are now being catalogued individually in the online catalog. The separate location designator for these broadsides is (Ex) Broadside and these are currently stored flat in the Dulles Vault. There are also two separately arranged collections of poetry broadsides: poetry of American authors are cataloged under the location designator (ExRML) Ludwig Broadside and as of 2004, there are about 700 of these catalogued; poetry of Irish authors are cataloged under the location designator (Ex) Milberg Irish Broadside and there are over 100 of these cataloged as of 2004.
A group of broadsides called "Princeton Broadsides" consist of many College of New Jersey items printed in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The entire group was cataloged in early 1989, and is a part of the Archives at Mudd Library. See the finding aid at the Oversize Collection Master List.
There are broadsides in the DeCoppet Collection in the Manuscript Division. Some of these are described in detail in the printed catalogue of the exhibition of DeCoppet material prepared by Alexander Clark. See Princeton University. The Andre de Coppet collection of American historical manuscripts: a catalogue of an exhibition in the Princeton University Library, May 16 to June 30, 1955. ((Princeton: Princeton University Library, 1969) [(ExB) 0436.737]. Readers may note that broadsides relating to the Continental Congress are found in box 7 of the DeCoppet Collection (C0063), folders 12 to 17. None of these DeCoppet broadsides have been catalogued in ways comparable to other printed materials.
There are broadsides as well in the Graphic Arts Collection. They cover a variety of subjects and are not fully catalogued. Consult with the Curator for details.
The collections include first editions of nearly all books published by the two during their lives. There are binding variants of several titles. The Browning books form part of the General Rare Book Collection (Ex). See: Princeton University Library Chronicle X, 1 (November, 1948) p. 36 [full text] .
A collection of 87 editions of translations of her works into 13 languages (mainly European) was received from Mrs. Andrea Lloyd in 1982, together with numerous manuscripts. The books were catalogued during the spring of 1985; records for them are in the Library's online catalogue.
A large archive of Buck papers was also given to Princeton University by Mrs. Andrea Lloyd in November, 1982. Now cataloged with collection no. (MSS) C0060, they consist of correspondence and legal documents relating to the publishing activities of Pearl Buck during the period (1928-1950s) when she was a client of the David Lloyd Literary Agency.

'Buy Here Pay Here' Lots Target Those With Bad Credit
By editor
Robert Siegel speaks with Ken Bensinger, business reporter for the Los Angeles Times, about used car sales lots known as "Buy Here Pay Here" dealerships. Bensinger has written a three-part investigative series on this type of business. He tells Robert that "Buy Here Pay Here" lots are very common, and they prey on people with low incomes and bad credit. They charge high prices and very steep interest rates. And in many cases the buyer defaults on the loan, and the car is repossessed and resold again and again.

11.12.07 - By Yero Moody, photo by Naoki Fukuda: How prophetic! No one could have given a more accurate prediction than the man himself, Mr. Ricky "The Hitman" Hatton. He uttered this prophecy during his post-fight interview after his win over the then WBA welterweight champion Luis Collazo. He went on to elaborate and state that he needed a few more fights before he would be ready for a bout with Floyd Mayweather, Jr. He subsequently went back down to 140 lbs. and had two sucessful wins over Juan Urango and Jose Luis Castillo who was the only man who ever gave Mayweather trouble in the ring due to Mayweather's injured shoulder, I might add. It was after his win over Castillo where he made what would prove to be a fatal mistake. He called out Mayweather and began his cheap talk. He didn't think Mayweather would call his bluff as brutally as he did. A perfectly timed "check hook" as Mayweather called it, sent Hatton flying into the ring post and onto the canvas looking up at the Vegas lights.. Many who have read my previous articles know that I made no bones in stating that I felt Mayweather is simply the best boxer in the sport right now. I have stated time and time again that no one from 154lbs south has the skills to beat Mayweather and it is still true in this writer's humble opinion. I've heard many so-called experts predict that the smothering pressure from Hatton would give Mayweather problems and I don't say that in an arrogant manner, for I myself have been wrong before as well. Only twice, but who's counting? I predicted in my previous article that Ricky Hatton's style and lack of defense was tailor made for Mayweather to pick him apart and knock him out. I was told I was crazy, that I hated Brits and I am in love with Mayweather. I am in love though but not with Mayweather but with boxing in its purest, most scientific and most fundamentally correct display and there is not a virtuoso so pure and concise as Floyd "Pretty Boy" Mayweather! As I collected my huge purse in Las Vegas from the many bets I'd won I was also saddened by how so few people really know boxing who claim to be hardcore fans and experts. As I watched the fight and listened to Harold Lederman's round by round analysis I wondered was he watching the same fight I was watching. He had Ricky Hatton ahead after the sixth rd. and only down by one or two points going into the tenth rd. I had Floyd ahead seven rounds to two going into the tenth and what would be the final round. My dear friends you don't win rounds by bullying, pushing and holding your opponents. You win by landing clean, effective punches and the harder the punch the more effective. Clearly, Mayweather landed the harder, cleaner shots throughout the fight. The one bright spot was the fact that all three of the judges had the fight being clearly dominated by Mayweather going into the tenth rd. One judge gave Hatton two rounds and the other two gave him one round. Mayweather's dominating performance over one of the top ten pound for pound fighters in the world should put an end to the naysayers and haters who once claimed that Mayweather is "cherrypicker", a "runner" and doesn't like to take risks. Unfortunately, it won't. The Mayweather hater is a form of hater that is not capable of being objective when it comes to analyzing Mayweather or his performances. They have wired themselves to find something wrong with him no matter what. It wasn't enough that immediately following his controversial win over Jose Castillo that he immediately gave him a rematch and silenced all doubters with a clear victory. It wasn't enough that he went to a weight class that was clearly too big for him to take on Oscar De La Hoya. As sure as I've written this article its not going to be enough that he just beat a man that was supposed to have the style to beat him who happened to be an undefeated young champion in his prime. If those were track shoes Mayweather was wearing against Hatton I sure as hell want a pair! The next big cry from Mayweather haters will be he needs to fight Miguel Cotto or he shouldn't be considered the best. Please don't get me wrong, as a fight fan I hope that he does fight Miguel Cotto but make no mistake about it he doesn't need to fight Miguel Cotto to be the best. He's already proven it time and time again. Cotto will be made to look like an amateur and he will be pummeled from post to post and knocked out! Cotto is a great fighter but so was De La hoya, Castillo, Hatton, Judah, Manfredy, Chavez, Gatti and Hernandez. STOP THE HATE, MAYWEATHER'S GREAT!

Rank-and-file employees at Safeway and Giant Food in the Washington, D.C., and Baltimore regions are meeting today to vote on a proposal for a new labor contract that would avoid a strike. Union leaders and an outside food expert seemed optimistic the workers would ratify the agreement. If it is voted down, they would then vote on whether or not to strike.

RAID 5 8k Random Read/Write
The 9361-8i tops out at 508,572 IOPS at 256 OIO, while the ASR-8885 reaches 538,099.
The 9361-8i provides lower latency at 8-128 OIO, but it loses the lead at 256 OIO.
The 9361-8i takes the lead in 8k random write testing with an average of 41,802 IOPS at 128 OIO. The ASR-8885 peaks at 64 OIO with 29,490 IOPS, but it falls significantly under higher load.
The 9361-8i provides lower latency during the test.
The mixed workload testing shows the cliff both controllers experience when we mix in a 10 percent write workload, though the ASR-8885 falls lower than the 9361-8i. The 9361-8i leads this test with the exception of the pure read workload.
We observed the same performance trend from the ASR-8885 in our mixed workload testing. The same latency penalty is incurred as we mix in more write activity, reaching 16ms with a 90 percent write workload.

If you've been watching the US women's volleyball team play at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, chances are you've noticed the colored athletic tape that many of the Olympic athletes are wearing. This kinesiology tape stems from the Kinesio Taping method, developed 20 years ago by Kenzo Kase, D.C.
Traditional methods of athletic taping stabilize the muscles but do not permit them to move freely.
Kinesio taping lets muscles and joints move, providing support without restricting blood flow.
