Raymond Fisher (fan)
|Raymond D. Fisher
|October 15, 1935(aged -53)
|Insurance claims adjuster
|Known for
|Joyce Worley (1956 - 1970), Janie Lamb (1973-1988)
|Jason E. Fisher
Raymond D. Fisher (October 15, 1935-May 16, 1988), aka Ray Fisher, Ray "Duggie" Fisher, and Duggie Fisher Jr. was a science fiction fan, fanzine editor-publisher, SF club founder and president, and Worldcon chairman of the mid-20th century. He was born and raised in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, where he first discovered SF and its fandom. He later migrated to St. Louis, where he worked as an insurance claims adjuster. He was a founding member of the Poplar Bluff Science Fiction Club and a fanzine publisher in the late 1940s-early 1950s, and of the Ozark Science Fiction Association, which he co-founded in St. Louis in 1964 after a period of gafiation. He was also a member of The Saturday People, in St. Louis, in the 1960s, and was known for his science fiction fanzine Odd. He, along with his wife Joyce Worley Fisher, co-chaired the 27th World Science Fiction Convention in 1969. Subsequently, the couple divorced and Ray permanently left fandom, remarried and had a son, and moved to Texas where he died, in the late 1980s, of complications of diabetes.
Odd (also stylized as ODD) began in the 1940s and was resurrected, after Fisher's first gafiaiton, in the 1960s before it was discontinued. The fanzine was nominated for a 1968 Hugo Award for best fanzine, but did not win.[1] Oddpromoted a counter-culture, anti-establishment viewpoint,[2] saying that "SF is just as fundamentally distrustful of the straight world as is the archetypal hippie, and both have apparently latched on to each other".[3] At the time it was considered to be an example of a new type of fanzine that was "a large-scale, large circulation fanzine" that was of a far higher quality than the average fanzine of the era and dealt with all aspects of the science-fiction world as opposed to just a smaller portion of it.[4]

Frankenstein, Or, The Modern Prometheus
From Library Staff

I would say this story has some interesting scenes in it and I liked how it made you sympathize with the creature. Its not too bad of a novel but there were some inevitable boring scenes for me, possibly because it was written in a different time period.
I like how this book includes the author's biography, and gives some background to the story, explanations about the time it was written, and the setting of the book. That helped me to understand the book a little bit more
NYPL Staff Pick
The classic tale with gothic illustrations!
- Selection Team
One of my favourite things about this book is the story behind it. I think it goes that Mary Shelley, Percy Shelley and Lord Byron were away at a cabin and decided to see who could write the best scary story. Mary won, and eventually turned her tale in Frankenstein.
This book is great to read, and it's also great to study if you're an English student. Some really great ideas going on about science, technology, reproduction and fatherhood.
Poor monster!
Seriously, why are you posting your summary of the book? You're suppose to say whether you like it or not, not if you'd shoot the characters with a gun.
I liked this book, it was a bit of a scare toward the end though....
I liked the idea behind the book and felt bad for the monster. Yet at the same time, I wanted to shoot both Victor and the monster. I just don't get how a guy could be so whiny and literally delicate because he was sick for almost two year over creating the monster. I felt that Victor was too overly dramatic at times when he should have tried to approach situations differently. I just really didn't like Victor.
good read
One of my favorite books of all time! I reread it every year.
I enjoyed the nesting stories and overall premise; I disliked Victor the whiny villain, I mean wretch. The monster was frustratingly inconsistent; going from moaning to erudition very rapidly. Good horror or drama, not so good science fiction.
The first couple chapters are a bit slow but once you get past them it's great. Also the dialogue doesn't really flow like actual speech. It's kind of funny to imagine people actually trying to talk like that.

Bowers postpones surgery for tourney
Updated: March 16, 2010, 3:54 PM ETAssociated Press
COLUMBIA, Mo. -- Injured Missouri forward Laurence Bowers will postpone surgery on two torn wrist ligaments until after the Tigers' NCAA tournament appearance.
Bowers disclosed the injury's severity as Missouri, a 10th seed in the East region, prepares for a first-round NCAA matchup Friday against seventh-seeded Clemson in Buffalo, N.Y. He originally called the injury a sprained wrist and wore a splint in Missouri's first-round loss to Nebraska in the Big 12 tournament last week.

Black Swans
The black swans of Dawlish although native to Australia were originally introduced to the town at the start of the 20th century from New Zealand by John Nash, a Dawlish-born man who emigrated but returned to the town regularly. The swan has been the town emblem for over forty years. The swans are now managed, together with other waterfowl, by the Dawlish Town Council through the Waterfowl Warden.

Dawlish Water (aka The Brook)
Dawlish Brook, also known as Dawlish Water, starts its journey at the little moor of Haldon and running through Ashcombe valley, before reaching the sea at Dawlish Town Beach. On its journey it drops over weirs and under bridges, passing through the Manor Gardens and the Lawn at Dawlish, before joining the sea on the eastern side of the main sea wall, passing under the railway viaduct that was built by Brunel

Dawlish Warren – Beach Walk
The Beach Walk is a pedestrianised area leading from the Car Parks to the Beach and includes various shops and activities for all the family and also has lots of choice for eating and drinking.

On A Wet Windy Day - Pubs #3 and #4
I actually missed visiting these two as my train was just about to arrive but in-passing both looked well worth dropping into.
A useful piece of info is that the Exeter's loos are just off the street and so if you get caught short drop in to do your thing!
- Beer Tasting
- Beaches
- Trains
If it's your thing...
...then Dawlish has a couple of proper gaudy seaside amusement arcades to offer. These have the usual array of games and gaming machines and a couple of kids rides. Not my personal cup-of-tea but something to do on a rainy day if you don't like pubs!
- Casino and Gambling
- Luxury Travel
Take A Boat Trip (Weather Permitting!)
There's a couple of companies here who offer boat trips around the bay and further along the magnificent coastline.
The boat trips depart from the breakwater but obviously these are dependent on the weather and tides and so to find out when the next trip is you need to go down to the seawall to enquire.
- Sailing and Boating
- Birdwatching
The Southwest Coastal Path Here
The coastline both east and west of Dawlish is particularly spectacular with the constantly eroding red Permian rocks providing the backdrop to the path. This section of the SWCP is pretty level as it follows the railway cutting and on a calm day, especially early summer mornings, you can be quite often be treated to a dolphin or two for company.
Unfortunately, as the pic shows, this wasn't to be one of my walking days :(
- Hiking and Walking
- Beaches
- Budget Travel
On A Wet Windy Day - Pub #2 - White Hart Inn
This is another friendly little local pub on a characterful little street at the top end of the town centre. Excellent beer, friendly landlady and the internal murals make the place worth a visit as part of an arty tour of the town!
Aimed more at the younger crowd than this old fuddy-duddy but a nice pub nevertheless!
- Beer Tasting
On A Wet Windy Day - Pub #1 - Teignmouth Inn
You know you are at the seaside when you walk into the Teignmouth Inn on a wet, windy day. The pub smells of the sea, or perhaps that was just because all the customers were wet and variously bedraggled (myself included).
This is a nice little proper pub with friendly locals, owners and staff and a mooching hound - as I rolled a cigarette (to smoke outside in the rain of course) the pub dog made a bee-line for me, perhaps thinking the crinkling noise was a bag of crisps Giving the dog a scratch behind its ear as I pointed out that dogs shouldn't start smoking made me a temporary member of the local crew. Unfortunately the cricket was on the TV and since I do neither cricket nor TV I only had the one quick pint here.
Nice pub.
- Beaches
- Hiking and Walking
- Beer Tasting
Railway and Terraced Walk
The terraced walk extends from a little beyond the station alongside the railway to Langstone Cliffs and the Warren providing excellent views and exercise at the same time, throwing in the occasional train spotting.
- Trains
Amusement arcades
What can I say about an amusement arcade which hasn't been mentioned already? The one @ Dawlish Warren is no different from any other. It has it's usuel penny slot machines, coin pushers, one armed bandits & games.
You can also win prizes by winning vouchers which are in the penny pushing machines, or @ a one armed bandit which is like a fruit machine. Just present them @ reception & they will exchange them for prizes, or cards. there's also a pile of plastic cups to hoard your pennies in; & a leaflett about a support group for compulsive gambling!
It's a bit drafty in the evening's, there's also a bar over the road and the Warren Trading shop down the road which only opens Saturdays.
- Family Travel
Dawlish Warren
Dawlish Warren is more up the Riviera coastline coming to its end point at the Exe estuary that separates it from Exmouth. The beaches are smooth & sandy with patches of grass banks in dunes further inland. The landscape can often offer shelter for bathers during the hot season when the weather hits its peaks. The sea water is a clear blue & moves slowly north usually with a gentle current. It is secluded from sewage due to the modern sewage systems of downstream towns such as Dawlish. The dog limitations & litter prohibition further enforce the cleanliness of the area, & this has earned it the seaside blue flag award.
Throughout the summer period the waters are full of life with bathers & sea-sporters. Jet-skiing is frequent, & natives offer the hire of such vehicles. Overlooking the actions is a team of lifeguards, constantly vigilant, enforcing a feeling of safety & security for families. On the mainland the Warren has many facilities for the tourist. The amusement arcades & small funfair is a recognizable scene to that seeking seaside entertainment, though this is just a fraction of what Dawlish Warren has to offer. The nature reserve is one of the areas sheltered spots with rare wildlife including flowers & birds. Positioned close to the beach & linked to the coastal paths that run from Teignmough, Powderham, Cockwood & Starcross, it is perfect for ramblers & those who like wildlife.

Loss of Smell and Taste
In the Spring I had a virus and was very sick, as a result I have lost my sense of smell and taste. My doctor is sending me to a ENT but he said it is unlikely he can do anything for me. Apparently once these senses are gone, they are gone for good.
Has anyone else every experienced this???
Looking forward to hearing some positive replies (I hope)
Sort of happened to a friend of mine but not from a virus. As a teenager she fell off the back of a pickup truck, was in a coma for a week and lost both smell and taste senses. It did come back in a few years, taste first, the flavor lime was the first to come back. Then more quickly all of both senses returned. I know this is a different circumstance, but it shows that even with her brain being damaged the brain did reroute or whatever the senses and bring them back. Sort of like people that have strokes with blot clots to the head as my aunt did. She couldn't walk or talk but learned how again. So who knows? I would never say your senses couldn't come back.
Here's a link that explains what happened due to the virus and that there is a treatment. You might have to copy and paste the link, I couldn't get it to work by clicking it.
What you're experiencing is not at all uncommon. Check out the link to a site. All these people have or had the same or like experience. It might help you to decide how to proceed
Here is a link that might be useful: EHealth Forum
I have a feeling your problem is primarily with your sense of smell. A good part of your sense of taste comes from what you smell. I remember this from HS biology only because I mentioned what I had learned at the dinner table that night and got into a terrible argument with my stepfather. He said I didn't know what I was talking about. If you can taste sweet, sour, etc. then your taste buds seem to be working ok.

The Space
The teak-and-stone house (baan in Thai) resembles a large country house somewhere in Europe, with high-ceilings throughout, a large open-plan dining and living area, with wide doors that open out on to a spacious veranda.
Drive south from charming Chiang Mai for some 30 kilometers and you come to this spacious retreat in the green and fertile Mae Wang Valley
A big western kitchen, a large master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, a second double bedroom, one single bedroom and the main bathroom with a rain shower complete this spacious and well-provided oasis.
All bedrooms are fitted with air-conditioners,fans and mosquito netting.
The house comfortably accommodates five people.
Local fish swim free in the pond for you to feed them or easily catch on a line lazily dangled from the cool Thai-style teak sala.
Peace reigns at this place, and the evenings and mornings are cool as you sit on the large veranda overlooking the pond. There is a wide panorama of the distant mountains to the west in the direction of the northwestern border town of Mae Hong Son and forested Myanmar that lay just beyond those picturesque peaks.
Guest Access
Guest will have the entire house for themselves.
Interaction with Guests
We don't stay at the property if guest book the house. Interaction depends on the wishes and needs of the guest. We are always reachable if needed.
The Neighborhood
Our property is a quiet place with only one direct neighbor. Guest can have a relaxing time on the veranda, watching the sun set from the Thai-sala with a cool drink.
Our village Baan Gard village with an everyday fresh market, Lotus express, 7/11, many small Thai shops and eating places. It has also a nice coffee corner, ATM's and a bank.
Getting around
Guest can take the yellow bus from the village to the Chiang Mai Gate (old city of Chiang Mai) for the price of 25 bath one way. The journey takes about 40 minutes.
Other Things to Note
There is a large collection of DVD's which can be watched on the flat screen TV in the living area.
It is Thai custom to take one's shoes off when entering the house. I would like my guests to do the same.
Our home is a non- smoking environment but there is plenty of space outside for smokers.
We loved our stay at this gem of a house in the country. Mechthild was wonderful throughout our experience. She answered my emails promptly, met us and showed us around the property, left some arrival treats in the fridge for us and was available if we had any questions during our stay but left us in peace to enjoy her wonderful accommodation. Our 2 year old son absolutely loved being in the countryside and made 2 close companions in some neighbourhood dogs who would pop by daily, the most patient and lovely dogs. We would recommend this place to any friends and hope to come back ourselves. We loved cooking meals in the well equipped and beautiful kitchen and enjoying them out on the patio.
The description says it all - the house truly is a lovely oasis. We stayed over Christmas 2013 (two adults, two kids aged 8 and 6) and all four of us loved the house. It's comfortable, quiet, has lovely outdoor space for eating or relaxing, all the facilities you need including wifi and extremely comfortable beds!
Mechtild, the owner, met us on arrival and showed us how everything worked. There was plenty of food in the fridge, fresh bread and some delicious home made biscuits as well.
We could not have had nicer accommodation - it was just perfect for us.
The reservation was canceled 57 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Mouse Pointer jittering constantly - HELP!
Likes # 0
Posted July 14, 2009 at 9:16AM
Mouse Pointer jitters constantly when hovering in Windows Explorer window. It briefly changes to an hourglass/busy, in intervals of roughly 3 times per second. It happens in any window, that has drive, folders or files. The moment I move pointer outside of the window, or have it in i.e. Desktop/Panel/Networking etc window, the mouse pointer is normal. It seems to me the Hard drive is constatntly accessed. Specs :Vista Home Premium 64-bit, 750gb HDD (10% filled), 3gb memory, i7 920. Help greatly appreciated, as this issue is becoming more and more annoying, especialy when reviewing pictures. Thanx

Probably on the wrong track but I asked a similar question and it was "normal" in that it happened when I had media player open and an SD card inserted. Media player was constantly searching for files in the background.
Could it be anything like that... an external drive or something that's being scanned for files for "whatever"... maybe photos, music etc depending on what applications you have open.

Benedict Cumberbatch Stars In Adorable "Sesame Street" Video
And now we love him even more. (If that is at all possible)
1. Benedict Cumberbatch stopped by "Sesame Street" for the most delightful of appearances.
2. In the clip, he found himself face-to-face with his latest enemy, "Murray-arty."
3. (This was only the first of many wonderful Sherlock jokes.)
4. The dastardly Murray-arty challenged him to solve a mathematical puzzle.
5. Then he pretended to be clueless about counting, which of course was the cutest.
6. Fortunately, Count von Count was there to help.
7. With the muppet's help, "Counterbatch" solved the problem and saved the day!
8. Although he couldn't convince them that he wasn't actually Sherlock Holmes.
9. We love you, Benedict Sherlock!

So, How Exactly Should Atheists Celebrate the Holidays?
This past Sunday at the Humanist Hub, I gave a talk-- more like led a discussion-- on "Holiday Magic (for Atheists)."

All Souls College information
One of the wealthiest Oxford colleges, All Souls was founded in 1438 as a centre of prayer and learning. It's one of several graduate colleges, though it doesn't accept just any old Oxford graduate. Each year, the university's top finalists sit a fellowship exam, with an average of only two making the grade. Today fellowship of the college is one of the highest academic honours in the country.
Much of the college facade dates from the 1440s and, unlike other older colleges, the front quad is largely unchanged in five centuries. It also contains a beautiful 17th-century sundial designed by Christopher Wren. Most obvious, though, are the twin mock-Gothic towers on the north quad. Designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor in 1710, they were lambasted for ruining the Oxford skyline when first erected.

However within one week of wearing it I was losing stones on the wedding band and now have also lost stones on the engagement ring band. As of today I am missing four stones on the band and three stones on the wedding ring so I am just throwing it away. It is very obvious the stones are missing and looks very tacky to wearRead More
Love this ring!
I absolutely love this wedding ring set! It's so pretty in person and it fits like a glove! We got this as a replacement wedding set and I've gotten so many compliments on it!Read More
Love it
I almost don't want to tell you how much I LOVE this ring so that it won't ever sell out, but I have to share. This is a gorgeous ring, very excited to have found it. Definitely going to order another to have as a backup if I ever need it. If you are picky ( like me) and looking for a fantastic ring, you've found it!Read More
Very classy!
Just received my ring today and it is very beautiful! I'm giving it four stars because it fits a little tighter than other size 7 rings I've ordered from here. I may size up on it.Read More
It's Beautiful!
I ordered several rings at once to try in hopes of finding a couple of nice ones for vacation. This set is GORGEOUS and very real looking. I guess the center stone looks like about a 1.5 carat or so diamond. I haven't decided whether to keep it yet because I was looking for more of a 2.5 carat look but overall this has about that same size/presence on the hand due to the setting surrounding the center stone. The style is really beautiful and the right appears well made. Plus, it has a very low profile and no prongs so it would be great for an active person - not much chance of snaggage.Read More
Beatuiful, but doesn't last
I loved this ring when I first bought it - gorgeous! Unforuntately, it isn't very durable. Over time, the ring became dull and "tinny" looking. And even with polishing, it no longer looks real or well made. Quality is low from a durability, holding it's beauty standpoint. If you want a great look for a few months, go ahead and purchase, but don't expect it to last over time.Read More
Beautiful Set
This is a really well made set, they fit perfectly together no gaps and the low profile makes it an ideal everyday ring, the middle stone looks like a 1 1/2 - 2 ct stone and it's well cut, it's not heavy the pave stones look good too, all and all for a replacement, upgrade, everyday or for 1st time engagement this set is perfect, why spend all of your $$ on a ring, especially in times like these. I Highly Recommend this set.Read More

The town of Banff situated in beautiful Banff national park is a base from which ski holiday makers can ski the Big 3, Lake Louise, Sunshine Village and Norquay, all of which are covered under the same lift pass. Norquay, the closest of the three, is best suited to beginners and intermediates, whereas the other two offer more challenging terrain.
Banff town offers a wide range of accommodation. There's also a good selection of restaurants and bars, with a lively après ski scene. In winter it can get very cold so the warm selection of bars are very welcome.
Good skiing is on offer at present in Alberta, with the resorts benefitting from slightly cooler air than their neighbours in British Columbia. Light snow was falling at both Marmot basin (130cm) and the three Banff (165cm) resorts, although the very lowest slopes were seeing a wintry mix instead. Unsettled and mild weather is expected to continue this week, bringing similar conditions to Thursday 26th March – so head high for the best conditions and the chance of some fresh powdery turns.
Fresh snow has fallen across much of British Columbia, but with relatively high freezing levels, the snow is heavy and lower down was mixed with rain at times. That being said, some great gains have been made on the upper slopes at resorts such as Big White (228cm) which saw 24cm of new snow into Thursday, Silver Star (125/215cm) that caught 20cm and Sun Peaks (152/190cm) where 26cm fell. Whistler (188cm) also caught 12cm of new snow, taking the seven day total to 63cm. More of the same is expected over the weekend with snow falling up high but rain lower down, before colder conditions drop the snow level at the start of new week which is good news.
Thursday was a cloudy day in eastern Canada, where Mont Sainte-Anne (110/170cm) saw a nice 4cm top up but Tremblant (110/190cm) remained dry. Conditions across the mountain remain excellent, with some nice corn snow lower down and some good packed powder up high. Saturday is looking like a stunning sunny day before the clouds move in once more on Sunday, bringing some further light snow.
Spring is forecast to return to the Rockies over the weekend, particularly in Utah where sunny skies and mid-mountain temperatures of between +6C and +8C. Expect some slightly cloudier skies in Colorado, bringing with it the chance of some light rain on Sunday/Monday. The next colder change is set for the second half of next week based on current forecasts.
Warm sunshine is forecast for California, with daytime temperatures hitting +10C at mid-mountain over the weekend. Some rain showers are possible on Saturday and Sunday which is not great news as the snowpack is already suffering.
Western Canada is looking unsettled over the weekend, with precipitation expected at all of our featured resorts. Sadly much of this is set to fall as rain in British Columbia on all but the highest peaks, and even in the higher altitude resorts of Alberta. Colder weather is currently forecast to arrive on Tuesday and much of the rain is set to turn to snow which is good news.
Slightly milder conditions have also finally become established on the east coast of both Canada and the USA, but temperatures are expected to reach maximums of around +2C rather than the double digits of the west coast. Some new snow is expected in colder spells, such as on Friday and then again on Monday, when a further 10cm of new snow is expected.

Does Teflon Coating on Upholstery Fabric Change the Feel?
I am recovering a large sofa with a premium fabric, and the manufacturer offers teflon coating as an option. The fabric swatch, however, is not available with the teflon, so I can't get a feel for it.
Does teflon coating change the feel of the fabric -- make it less soft and stiffer, for example?
Does teflon coating perform as advertised to prevent staining? (I have 2 large and active dogs -- they aren't allowed on the sofa, but they often brush against it.)
I would also say that most fabric treatments are designed to make the cleaning easier, not to "prevent stains." Unless that's what you mean by preventing stains, making the stain cleanable.
The principle is that they prevent stains bonding to fibers. There may be added advantage that water-based stains bead up on certain fabrics (surface tension), allowing you to blot up the liquid.
This will help with saliva, urine, or beverages but this may not do much for dog's body oils rubbing against the edges, for example.
