In 1938, Mrs. Yeats told her husband, '"AE was the nearest to a saint you or I will ever meet. You are a better poet but no saint. I suppose one has to choose"' (L 838). It is a distinction Yeats seems to have already endorsed in these lines from 'The Choice', written in 1931:
The intellect of man is forced to choosePerfection of the life, or of the work,
And if it take the second must refuse
A heavenly mansion, raging in the dark. (P 246)
But Yeats rarely makes simple choices, presenting us instead with a career of vacillations, of attempts — always willful, sometimes heroic — to have it both ways. No less than Keats, he thought that the poet leads a life of allegory and that his works are comments on it. Before comment, and as part of the process of perfection, comes transformation. He explained, in the 'First Principles' section of his 'Introduction' to his works, written in 1937:
A poet writes always of his personal life, in his finest work out of its tragedies, whatever it be, remorse, lost love, or mere loneliness; he never speaks directly as to someone at the breakfast table, there is always a phantasmagoria. Dante and Milton had mythologies, Shakespeare the characters of English history, or of traditional romance; even when the poet seems most himself, when he is Raleigh and gives potentates the lie, or Shelley 'a nerve o'er which do creep the else unfelt oppressions of mankind', or Byron when 'the soul wears out the breast as the sword wears out the sheath', he is never the bundle of accident and incoherence that sits down to breakfast; he has been re-born as an idea, somethingintended, complete. (LE 204)
Autobiographies invites us to attend to that rebirth, to the process by which accident and incoherence become complete, by which life, passing through phantasmagoria, becomes meaning, and experience becomes myth. It is that great Romantic achievement: a vision of personal history as art, and Autobiographies is the essential companion to the poems and plays. It shows Yeats at work — summoning his people, realizing his places, making a world — and so continues to dramatize and fulfill his belief that the act of writing entails a complex creation of a self. He had made the point in that bold youthful quatrain about revisions:
The friends that have it I do wrongWhen ever I remake a song,
Should know what issue is at stake:
It is myself that I remake. (P 551)
Autobiographies is an allusive and illusive book. Yeats is not careful about details, dates, and references. It is difficult to escape the impression that he is wholly dependable about what is happening to and in his imagination, and how exciting it is, and not fully dependable about anything else. We are convinced that Yeats knew what he was about; like Stephen Dedalus in Ulysses, he knew that this wonderful, shrewd, intimate book would ultimately reside 'in all the great libraries of the world, including Alexandria'; both writers enjoyed the sense that they were creating projects for future generations of scholars. This is the first edition to take up that challenge by providing a full set of explanatory notes. The 1,003 notes are marked in the text by superscript numbers; the notes are printed on pages 419?527. Those notes selectively include particularly interesting excerpts from earlier versions of revised passages.
Explanatory notes are not used for simple, straightforward mentions of the name of a person, place, organization, or historical event, or of the title of a book, play, poem, or story. Instead, those names and titles are described with 1,500 augmented entries in the index. Those augmented entries provide a person's name, birth and death dates, nationality, and profession; for books or other texts, the augmented entries identify the author, genre, and date. The page references in the index will lead the reader to any other occurrences in the text or notes.
The eighteen notes written by Yeats are printed among the explanatory notes, flagged with the heading 'WBY'S NOTE'. If the note was added later or was revised or omitted in any printing, that is mentioned. Explanatory notes to Yeats's notes are marked by superscript letters and are printed immediately following his note.
In Estrangement and The Death of Synge, each of the ninety-six sections is headed with a brief statement of its dating in the manuscript and a cross-reference to the manuscript transcription in Memoirs. For abbreviations of names and titles, see the List of Abbreviations, pages 33?36 below.
Background Notes on Writers, pages 531?539 below, provides a concise introduction to twenty writers who were important to Yeats but who receive only comparatively brief mention in Autobiographies.

From Reveries Over Childhood and Youth
My first memories are fragmentary and isolated and contemporaneous, as though one remembered some first moments of the Seven Days. It seems as if time had not yet been created, for all thoughts are connected with emotion and place without sequence.
I remember sitting upon somebody's knee, looking out of an Irish window at a wall covered with cracked and falling plaster, but what wall I do not remember, and being told that some relation once lived there. I am looking out of a window in London. It is in Fitzroy Road. Some boys are playing in the road and among them a boy in uniform, a telegraph-boy perhaps. When I ask who the boy is, a servant tells me that he is going to blow the town up, and I go to sleep in terror.
After that come memories of Sligo, where I live with my grandparents. I am sitting on the ground looking at a mastless toy boat with the paint rubbed and scratched, and I say to myself in great melancholy, 'It is further away than it used to be', and while I am saying it I am looking at a long scratch in the stern, for it is especially the scratch which is further away. Then one day at dinner my great-uncle, William Middleton, says, 'We should not make light of the troubles of children. They are worse than ours, because we can see the end of our trouble and they can never see any end', and I feel grateful, for I know that I am very unhappy and have often said to myself, 'When you grow up, never talk as grown-up people do of the happiness of childhood'. I may have already had the night of misery when, having prayed for several days that I might die, I began to be afraid that I was dying and prayed that I might live. There was no reason for my unhappiness. Nobody was unkind, and my grandmother has still after so many years my gratitude and my reverence. The house was so big that there was always a room to hide in, and I had a red pony and a garden where I could wander, and there were two dogs to follow at my heels, one white with some black spots on his head and the other with long black hair all over him. I used to think about God and fancy that I was very wicked, and one day when I threw a stone and hit a duck in the yard by mischance and broke its wing, I was full of wonder when I was told that the duck would be cooked for dinner and that I should not be punished.
Some of my misery was loneliness and some of it fear of old William Pollexfen, my grandfather. He was never unkind, and I cannot remember that he ever spoke harshly to me, but it was the custom to fear and admire him. He had won the freedom of some Spanish city, for saving life perhaps, but was so silent that his wife never knew it till he was near eighty, and then from the chance visit of an old sailor. She asked him if it was true and he said it was true, but she knew him too well to question and his old shipmate had left the town. She too had the habit of fear. We knew that he had been in many parts of the world, for there was a great scar on his hand made by a whaling-hook, and in the dining-room was a cabinet with bits of coral in it and a jar of water from the Jordan for the baptizing of his children and Chinese pictures upon rice-paper and an ivory walking-stick from India that came to me after his death. He had great physical strength and had the reputation of never ordering a man to do anything he would not do himself. He owned many sailing-ships and once, when a captain just come to anchor at Rosses Point reported something wrong with the rudder, had sent a messenger to say, 'Send a man down to find out what's wrong'. 'The crew all refuse' was the answer, and to that my grandfather answered, 'Go down yourself', and not being obeyed, he dived from the main deck, all the neighbourhood lined along the pebbles of the shore. He came up with his skin torn but well informed about the rudder. He had a violent temper and kept a hatchet at his bedside for burglars and would knock a man down instead of going to law, and I once saw him hunt a party of men with a horsewhip. He had no relation, for he was an only child, and, being solitary and silent, he had few friends. He corresponded with Campbell of Islay who had befriended him and his crew after a shipwreck, and Captain Webb, the first man who had swum the Channel and who was drowned swimming the Niagara Rapids, had been a mate in his employ and a close friend. That is all the friends I can remember, and yet he was so looked up to and admired that when he returned from taking the waters of Bath his men would light bonfires along the railway line for miles; while his partner, William Middleton, whose father after the great famine had attended the sick for weeks, and taken cholera from a man he carried in his arms into his own house and died of it, and was himself civil to everybody and a cleverer man than my grandfather, came and went without notice. I think I confused my grandfather with God, for I remember in one of my attacks of melancholy praying that he might punish me for my sins, and I was shocked and astonished when a daring little girl — a cousin, I think — having waited under a group of trees in the avenue, where she knew he would pass near four o'clock on the way to his dinner, said to him, 'If I were you and you were a little girl, I would give you a doll'.
Yet for all my admiration and alarm, neither I nor any one else thought it wrong to outwit his violence or his rigour; and his lack of suspicion and something helpless about him made that easy while it stirred our affection. When I must have been still a very little boy, seven or eight years old perhaps, an uncle called me out of bed one night, to ride the five or six miles to Rosses Point to borrow a railway-pass from a cousin. My grandfather had one, but thought it dishonest to let another use it, but the cousin was not so particular. I was let out through a gate that opened upon a little lane beside the garden away from earshot of the house, and rode delighted through the moonlight, and awoke my cousin in the small hours by tapping on his window with a whip. I was home again by two or three in the morning and found the coachman waiting in the little lane. My grandfather would not have thought such an adventure possible, for every night at eight he believed that the stable-yard was locked, and he knew that he was brought the key. Some servant had once got into trouble at night and so he had arranged that they should all be locked in. He never knew, what everybody else in the house knew, that for all the ceremonious bringing of the key the gate was never locked.
Even to-day when I read King Lear his image is always before me, and I often wonder if the delight in passionate men in my plays and in my poetry is more than his memory. He must have been ignorant, though I could not judge him in my childhood, for he had run away to sea when a boy, 'gone to sea through the hawse-hole' as he phrased it, and I can but remember him with two books — his Bible and Falconer's Shipwreck, a little green-covered book that lay always upon his table; he belonged to some younger branch of an old Cornish family. His father had been in the Army, had retired to become an owner of sailing-ships, and an engraving of some old family place my grandfather thought should have been his hung next a painted coat of arms in the little back parlour. His mother had been a Wexford woman, and there was a tradition that his family had been linked with Ireland for generations and once had their share in the old Spanish trade with Galway. He had a good deal of pride and disliked his neighbours, whereas his wife, a Middleton, was gentle and patient and did many charities in the little back parlour among frieze coats and shawled heads, and every night when she saw him asleep went the round of the house alone with a candle to make certain there was no burglar in danger of the hatchet. She was a true lover of her garden, and before the care of her house had grown upon her, would choose some favourite among her flowers and copy it upon rice-paper. I saw some of her handiwork the other day and I wondered at the delicacy of form and colour and at a handling that may have needed a magnifying-glass it was so minute. I can remember no other pictures but the Chinese paintings, and some coloured prints of battles in the Crimea upon the wall of a passage, and the painting of a ship at the passage end darkened by time.
My grown-up uncles and aunts, my grandfather's many sons and daughters, came and went, and almost all they said or did has faded from my memory, except a few harsh words that convince me by a vividness out of proportion to their harshness that all were habitually kind and considerate. The youngest of my uncles was stout and humorous and had a tongue of leather over the keyhole of his door to keep the draught out, and another whose bedroom was at the end of a long stone passage had a model turret-ship in a glass case. He was a clever man and had designed the Sligo quays, but was now going mad and inventing a vessel of war that could not be sunk, his pamphlet explained, because of a hull of solid wood. Only six months ago my sister awoke dreaming that she held a wingless sea-bird in her arms and presently she heard that he had died in his madhouse, for a sea-bird is the omen that announces the death or danger of a Pollexfen. An uncle, George Pollexfen, afterwards astrologer and mystic, and my dear friend, came but seldom from Ballina, once to a race-meeting with two postilions dressed in green; and there was that younger uncle who had sent me for the railway-pass. He was my grandmother's favourite, and had, the servants told me, been sent away from school for taking a crowbar to a bully.
I can only remember my grandmother punishing me once. I was playing in the kitchen and a servant in horseplay pulled my shirt out of my trousers in front just as my grandmother came in, and I, accused of I knew not what childish indecency, was given my dinner in a room by myself. But I was always afraid of my uncles and aunts, and once the uncle who had taken the crowbar to the bully found me eating lunch which my grandmother had given me and reproved me for it and made me ashamed. We breakfasted at nine and dined at four and it was considered self-indulgent to eat anything between meals; and once an aunt told me that I had reined in my pony and struck it at the same moment that I might show it off as I rode through the town, and I, because I had been accused of what I thought a very dark crime, had a night of misery. Indeed I remember little of childhood but its pain. I have grown happier with every year of life as though gradually conquering something in myself, for certainly my miseries were not made by others but were a part of my own mind.
One day some one spoke to me of the voice of the conscience, and as I brooded over the phrase I came to think that my soul, because I did not hear an articulate voice, was lost. I had some wretched days until being alone with one of my aunts I heard a whisper in my ear, 'What a tease you are!' At first I thought my aunt must have spoken, but when I found she had not, I concluded it was the voice of my conscience and was happy again. From that day the voice has come to me at moments of crisis, but now it is a voice in my head that is sudden and startling. It does not tell me what to do, but often reproves me. It will say perhaps, 'That is unjust' of some thought; and once when I complained that a prayer had not been heard, it said, 'You have been helped'. I had a little flagstaff in front of the house and a red flag with the Union Jack in the corner. Every night I pulled my flag down and folded it up and laid it on a shelf in my bedroom, and one morning before breakfast I found it, though I knew I had folded it up the night before, knotted round the bottom of the flagstaff so that it was touching the grass. I must have heard the servants talking of the faeries, for I concluded at once that a faery had tied those four knots and from that on believed that one had whispered in my ear. I have been told, though I do not remember it myself, that I saw, whether once or many times I do not know, a supernatural bird in the corner of the room. Once, too, I was driving with my grandmother a little after dark close to the Channel that runs for some five miles from Sligo to the sea, and my grandmother showed me the red light of an outward-bound steamer and told me that my grandfather was on board, and that night in my sleep I screamed out and described the steamer's wreck. The next morning my grandfather arrived on a blind horse found for him by grateful passengers. He had, as I remember the story, been asleep when the captain aroused him to say they were going on the rocks. He said, 'Have you tried sail on her?' and judging from some answer that the captain was demoralized took over the command and, when the ship could not be saved, got the crew and passengers into the boats. His own boat was upset and he saved himself and some others by swimming; some women had drifted ashore, buoyed up by their crinolines. 'I was not so much afraid of the sea as of that terrible man with his oar', was the comment of a schoolmaster who was among the survivors. Eight men, were, however, drowned and my grandfather suffered from that memory at intervals all his life, and if asked to read family prayers never read anything but the shipwreck of Saint Paul.
I remember the dogs more clearly than any one except my grandfather and grandmother. The black hairy one had no tail because it had been sliced off, if I was told the truth, by a railway train. I think I followed at their heels more than they did at mine, and that their journeys ended at a rabbit-warren behind the garden; and sometimes they had savage fights, the black hairy dog, being well protected by its hair, suffering least. I can remember one so savage that the white dog would not take his teeth out of the black dog's hair till the coachman hung them over the side of a water-butt, one outside and one in the water. My grandmother once told the coachman to cut the hair like a lion's hair and, after a long consultation with the stable-boy, he cut it all over the head and shoulders and left it on the lower part of the body. The dog disappeared for a few days and I did not doubt that its heart was broken.
There was a large garden behind the house full of apple-trees, with flower-beds and grass-plots in the centre, and two figure-heads of ships, one among the strawberry plants under a wall covered with fruit-trees and one among the flowers. The one among the flowers was a white lady in flowing robes, while the other, a stalwart man in uniform, had been taken from a three-masted ship of my grandfather's called the Russia, and there was a belief among the servants that the stalwart man represented the Tsar and had been presented by the Tsar himself. The avenue, or as they say in England the drive, that went from the hall door through a clump of big trees to an insignificant gate and a road bordered by broken and dirty cottages, was but two or three hundred yards, and I often thought it should have been made to wind more, for I judged people's social importance mainly by the length of their avenues. This idea may have come from the stable-boy, for he was my principal friend. He had a book of Orange rhymes, and the days when we read them together in the hayloft gave me the pleasure of rhyme for the first time. Later on I can remember being told, when there was a rumour of a Fenian rising, that rifles had been served out to the Orangemen; and presently, when I had begun to dream of my future life, I thought I would like to die fighting the Fenians. I was to build a very fast and beautiful ship and to have under my command a company of young men who were always to be in training like athletes and so become as brave and handsome as the young men in the story-books, and there was to be a big battle on the sea-shore near Rosses and I was to be killed. I collected little pieces of wood and piled them up in a corner of the yard, and there was an old rotten log in a distant field I often went to look at because I thought it would go a long way in the making of the ship. All my dreams were of ships; and one day a sea-captain who had come to dine with my grandfather put a hand on each side of my head and lifted me up to show me Africa, and another day a sea-captain pointed to the smoke from the pern-mill on the quays rising up beyond the trees of the lawn, as though it came from the mountain, and asked me if Ben Bulben was a burning mountain.
Once every few months I used to go to Rosses Point or Ballisodare to see another little boy, who had a piebald pony that had once been in a circus and sometimes forgot where it was and went round and round. He was George Middleton, son of my great-uncle William Middleton. Old Middleton had bought land, then believed a safe investment, at Ballisodare and at Rosses, and spent the winter at Ballisodare and the summer at Rosses. The Middleton and Pollexfen flour mills were at Ballisodare, and a great salmon weir, rapids, and a waterfall, but it was more often at Rosses that I saw my cousin. We rowed in the river-mouth or were taken sailing in a heavy slow schooner yacht or in a big ship's boat that had been rigged and decked. There were great cellars under the house, for it had been a smuggler's house a hundred years before, and sometimes three loud raps would come upon the drawing-room window at sundown, setting all the dogs barking: some dead smuggler giving his accustomed signal. One night I heard them very distinctly and my cousins often heard them, and later on my sister. A pilot had told me that, after dreaming three times of a treasure buried in my uncle's garden, he had climbed the wall in the middle of the night and begun to dig but grew disheartened 'because there was so much earth'. I told somebody what he had said and was told that it was well he did not find it, for it was guarded by a spirit that looked like a flat-iron. At Ballisodare there was a cleft among the rocks that I passed with terror because I believed that a murderous monster lived there that made a buzzing sound like a bee.
It was through the Middletons perhaps that I got my interest in country stories, and certainly the first faery-stories that I heard were in the cottages about their houses. The Middletons took the nearest for friends and were always in and out of the cottages of pilots and of tenants. They were practical, always doing something with their hands, making boats, feeding chickens, and without ambition. One of them had designed a steamer many years before my birth and, long after I had grown to manhood, one could hear it — it had some sort of obsolete engine — many miles off wheezing in the Channel like an asthmatic person. It had been built on the lake and dragged through the town by many horses, stopping before the windows where my mother was learning her lessons, and plunging the whole school into candlelight for five days, and was still patched and repatched mainly because it was believed to be a bringer of good luck. It had been called after the betrothed of its builder Janet, long corrupted into the more familiar Jennet, and the betrothed died in my youth having passed her eightieth year and been her husband's plague because of the violence of her temper. Another Middleton who was but a year or two older than myself used to shock me by running after hens to know by their feel if they were on the point of dropping an egg. They let their houses decay and the glass fall from the windows of their greenhouses, but one among them at any rate had the second sight. They were liked but had not the pride and reserve, the sense of decorum and order, the instinctive playing before themselves that belongs to those who strike the popular imagination.
Sometimes my grandmother would bring me to see some old Sligo gentlewoman whose garden ran down to the river, ending there in a low wall full of wallflowers, and I would sit up upon my chair, very bored, while my elders ate their seed-cake and drank their sherry. My walks with the servants were more interesting; sometimes we would pass a little fat girl, and a servant persuaded me to write her a love-letter, and the next time she passed she put her tongue out. But it was the servants' stories that interested me. At such-and-such a corner a man had got a shilling from a recruiting sergeant by standing in a barrel and had then rolled out of it and shown his crippled legs. And in such-and-such a house an old woman had hid herself under the bed of her guests, an officer and his wife, and on hearing them abuse her beaten them with a broomstick. All the well-known families had their grotesque or tragic or romantic legends, and I often said to myself how terrible it would be to go away and die where nobody would know my story. Years afterwards, when I was ten or twelve years old and in London, I would remember Sligo with tears, and when I began to write, it was there I hoped to find my audience. Next to Merville where I lived was another tree-surrounded house where I sometimes went to see a little boy who stayed there occasionally with his grandmother, whose name I forget and who seemed to me kind and friendly, though when I went to see her in my thirteenth or fourteenth year I discovered that she only cared for very little boys. When the visitors called I hid in the hay-loft and lay hidden behind the great heap of hay while a servant was calling my name in the yard.
I do not know how old I was (for all these events seem at the same distance) when I was made drunk. I had been out yachting with an uncle and my cousins and it had come on very rough. I had lain on deck between the mast and the bowsprit and a wave had burst over me and I had seen green water over my head. I was very proud and very wet. When we got into Rosses again, I was dressed up in an older boy's clothes so that the trousers came down below my boots, and a pilot gave me a little raw whiskey. I drove home on an outside car and was so pleased with the strange state in which I found myself that for all my uncle could do I cried to every passer-by that I was drunk, and went on crying it through the town and everywhere until I was put to bed by my grandmother and given something to drink that tasted of blackcurrants and so fell asleep.
Some six miles off towards Ben Bulben and beyond the Channel, as we call the tidal river between Sligo and the Rosses, and on top of a hill there was a little square two-storeyed house covered with creepers and looking out upon a garden where the box borders were larger than any I had ever seen, and where I saw for the first time the crimson streak of the gladiolus and awaited its blossom with excitement. Under one gable a dark thicket of small trees made a shut-in mysterious place, where one played and believed that something was going to happen. My great-aunt Micky lived there. Micky was not her right name, for she was Mary Yeats, and her father had been my great-grandfather, John Yeats, who had been Rector of Drumcliff, a few miles further off, and died in 1847. She was a spare, high-coloured, elderly woman and had the oldest-looking cat I had ever seen, for its hair had grown into matted locks of yellowy white. She farmed and had one old man-servant, but could not have farmed at all, had not neighbouring farmers helped to gather in the crops, in return for the loan of her farm implements and 'out of respect for the family', for as Johnny MacGurk, the Sligo barber, said to me, 'The Yeats's were always very respectable'. She was full of family history; all her dinner-knives were pointed like daggers through much cleaning, and there was a little James I. cream-jug with the Yeats motto and crest, and on her dining-room mantelpiece a beautiful silver cup that had belonged to my great-great-grandfather, who had married a certain Mary Butler. It had upon it the Butler crest and had been already old at the date 1534, when the initials of some bride and bridegroom were engraved under the lip. All its history for generations was rolled up inside it upon a piece of paper yellow with age, until some caller took the paper to light his pipe.
Another family of Yeats, a widow and her two children on whom I called sometimes with my grandmother, lived near in a long low cottage, and owned a very fierce turkey-cock that did battle with their visitors; and some miles away lived the secretary to the Grand Jury and land agent, my great-uncle, Mat Yeats, and his big family of boys and girls; but I think it was only in later years that I came to know them well. I do not think any of these liked the Pollexfens, who were well off and seemed to them purse-proud, whereas they themselves had come down in the world. I remember them as very well-bred and very religious in the Evangelical way and thinking a good deal of Aunt Micky's old histories. There had been among our ancestors a King's County soldier, one of Marlborough's generals, and when his nephew came to dine he gave him boiled pork, and when the nephew said he disliked boiled pork he had asked him to dine again and promised him something he would like better. However, he gave him boiled pork again and the nephew took the hint in silence. The other day as I was coming home from America, I met one of his descendants whose family has not another discoverable link with ours, and he too knew the boiled pork story and nothing else. We have the General's portrait, and he looks very fine in his armour and his long curly wig, and underneath it, after his name, are many honours that have left no tradition among us. Were we countrypeople, we could have summarized his life in a legend. Other ancestors or great-uncles bore a part in Irish history; one saved the life of Sarsfield at the battle of Sedgemoor; another, taken prisoner by King James's army, owed his to Sarsfield's gratitude; another, a century later roused the gentlemen of Meath against some local Jacquerie, and was shot dead upon a county road, and yet another 'chased the United Irishmen for a fortnight, fell into their hands and was hanged'. The notorious Major Sirr, who arrested Lord Edward Fitzgerald and gave him the bullet-wound he died of in the jail, was godfather to several of my great-great-grandfather's children; while, to make a balance, my great-grandfather had been Robert Emmet's friend and was suspected and imprisoned though but for a few hours. One great-uncle fell at New Orleans in 1813, while another, who became Governor of Penang, led the forlorn hope at the taking of Rangoon, and even in the last generation of all there had been lives of some power and pleasure. An old man who had entertained many famous people in his eighteenth-century house, where battlement and tower showed the influence of Horace Walpole, had but lately, after losing all his money, drowned himself, first taking off his rings and chain and watch as became a collector of many beautiful things; and once, to remind us of more passionate life, a gunboat put into Rosses, commanded by the illegitimate son of some great-uncle or other. Now that I can look at their miniatures, turning them over to find the name of soldier, or lawyer, or Castle official, and wondering if they cared for good books or good music, I am delighted with all that joins my life to those who had power in Ireland or with those anywhere that were good servants and poor bargainers, but I cared nothing as a child for Micky's tales. I could see my grandfather's ships come up the bay or the river, and his sailors treated me with deference, and a ship's carpenter made and mended my toy boats and I thought that nobody could be so important as my grandfather. Perhaps, too, it is only now that I can value those more gentle natures so unlike his passion and violence. An old Sligo priest has told me how my great-grandfather, John Yeats, always went into his kitchen rattling the keys, so much did he fear finding some one doing wrong, and of a speech of his when the agent of the great landowner of his parish brought him from cottage to cottage to bid the women send their children to the Protestant school. All promised till they came to one who cried, 'Child of mine will never darken your door'. 'Thank you, my woman', he said, 'you are the first honest woman I have met to-day.' My uncle, Mat Yeats, the land agent, had once waited up every night for a week to catch some boys who stole his apples and when he caught them had given them sixpence and told them not to do it again. Perhaps it is only fancy or the softening touch of the miniaturist that makes me discover in their faces some courtesy and much gentleness. Two eighteenth-century faces interest me the most, one that of a great-great-grandfather, for both have under their powdered curling wigs a half-feminine charm, and as I look at them I discover a something clumsy and heavy in myself. Yet it was a Yeats who spoke the only eulogy that turns my head: 'We have ideas and no passions, but by marriage with a Pollexfen we have given a tongue to the sea cliffs'.
Among the miniatures there is a larger picture, an admirable drawing by I know not what master, that is too harsh and merry for its company. He was a connection and close friend of my great-grandmother Corbet, and though we spoke of him as 'Uncle Beattie' in our childhood, no blood relation. My great-grandmother who died at ninety-three had many memories of him. He was the friend of Goldsmith and was accustomed to boast, clergyman though he was, that he belonged to a hunt-club of which every member but himself had been hanged or transported for treason, and that it was not possible to ask him a question he could not reply to with a perfectly appropriate blasphemy or indecency.
Because I had found it hard to attend to anything less interesting than my thoughts, I was difficult to teach. Several of my uncles and aunts had tried to teach me to read, and because they could not, and because I was much older than children who read easily, had come to think, as I have learnt since, that I had not all my faculties. But for an accident they might have thought it for a long time. My father was staying in the house and never went to church, and that gave me the courage to refuse to set out one Sunday morning. I was often devout, my eyes filling with tears at the thought of God and of my own sins, but I hated church. My grandmother tried to teach me to put my toes first to the ground because I suppose I stumped on my heels, and that took my pleasure out of the way there. Later on when I had learnt to read I took pleasure in the words of the hymn, but never understood why the choir took three times as long as I did in getting to the end; and the part of the service I liked, the sermon and passages of the Apocalypse and Ecclesiastes, were no compensation for all the repetitions and for the fatigue of so much standing. My father said if I would not go to church he would teach me to read. I think now that he wanted to make me go for my grandmother's sake and could think of no other way. He was an angry and impatient teacher and flung the reading-book at my head, and next Sunday I decided to go to church. My father had, however, got interested in teaching me, and only shifted the lesson to a week-day till he had conquered my wandering mind. My first clear image of him was fixed on my imagination, I believe, but a few days before the first lesson. He had just arrived from London and was walking up and down the nursery floor. He had a very black beard and hair, and one cheek bulged out with a

(Thank you to everyone who read 18! I just realized that I'm locked out of Into the Wild (the first result) in the Erin Hunter search result. It made my day to see that ppl always check to see if I have more chapters out without an advertisement reminding them to. But if you ever are writing an ad in the future, could you just throw in at the end that there's a new chapter to Winterberry's Struggle at white berry and wb? You don't have to, or course. That would help me so much <3 ty guys for all the support! Oh and Nebula, the point of that was WaterClan has no leader or deputy :P so their ceremonies are overdue, and WAY overdue with Dustpaw and Harepaw's. But yes I am trying to hurry this prophecy up so we can get to that. The end of the last chapter might've been a little confusing, but it'll be cleared up in chapter 19) <p> "Not helping, Oceanheart. That's just gonna make our greiving worse," Winterpaw sighed, not apreciating the medicine cat's sense of humor now. <br> "Wha..? No, I'm serious! I don't know how it's physically possible, but Jaysong just went from dying to perfectly fine. I didn't even touch her!" As if to prove his point, Jaysong herself trotted steadily into the open. Lilypaw and Foxpaw both had their jaws open the whole time. <br> "I just saw you, literally a few seconds ago, dying! You were paralized in parts of your back, your had broken ribs that punctured your lungs, and a concussion! How is that even possible...?" Winterpaw stuttered, not being able to find words. <br> *Am I dreaming?* <br> "Apparently so," Jaysong happily purred, "with the help of StarClan. I was deep in unconciousness and dreaming. I was padding lightly through a meadow. It felt like I was walking on air. It was green-leaf and prey was as rich and lush as the forest it lived in. In the distance, there was a group of cats. They had no different scents. I was about to greet he cats when an starry cat intercepted me. She said, 'The prophecy must go on,' and then the ground underneath me suddenly collapsed and I was falling. When I hit the ground, I woke up, and... well... here I am, healed and well. When she said the prophecy must go on, it either meant I had to suddenly heal to prove the point of prophecy that we're unfolding or that I'd be leader. I think the first one." Jaysong reunited with her family after her long talk, seeming to not care about what just happened. Cats had already began to gather, asking Jaysong how she got healed so quickly, then staring in awe when she told them StarClan sent her back. WaterClan began to chant, <br> "The prophecy! We are truely right about the prophecy!" She looked for Dustpaw, but saw him chanting with the Clan. He had warned her that if the rest of the Clan got one more sign that their theory of it was correct, he'd join them. Winterpaw sighed inwardly. <br> *It's just me now... I can't bear to wait till the end of leaf-bare untill a new leader rises. I'm already a full-grown cat; I need a warrior name.* Hopefully the prophecy she would discover all by herself was the correct one. It seemed unlikely with all the proof the rest of WaterClan was recieving, but... *Don't loose hope. Either version could be correct.* she recalled what Oceanheart had said. But she'd need to get to work, and figure out this prophecy fast... -Reflections♦

Title: | Development Through Faith: The Ma'adi Life Makers and the Islamic Entrepreneurial Subject |
Author: | Harris, Samuel |
Abstract: | The Life Makers are an Islamic youth organization inspired by the Egyptian preacher Amr Khaled and dedicated to social change and development based on Islamic principles. This group provides a morally-sanctioned social forum for youth interaction in the context of an increased emphasis on Islamic values. It also, through its vision of social change as emerging from individual transformation, functions to construct a new model for Muslim selves. The Life Makers' ideal self, inspired by Amr Khaled and the American self-improvement genre, is characterized by personal responsibility, individual initiative, and a focus on projects and goals. This vision of the Muslim self and the repertoire of social claims-making that it implies reflect both global trends in the practice of Islamic piety and the changing dynamics of the Egyptian "social contract" in an era of neoliberal economic reform. |

They say the first year of marriage is the hardest, and now we'll have video proof: In April, MTV cameras will begin following every move of recently wed pop stars Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson in preparation for a new reality show about the young couple.
"It's a look into the lives of Jessica and I – our daily life and our professional life," says 98° singer Lachey, who had some reservations about doing the show. "It's definitely an adjustment I'm going to have to make. There's going to have to be a line drawn – what we're willing to have the audience see."
Simpson seems far more enthusiastic about the project, which she believes will debut in August (MTV declined to comment). "It's going to be awesome! People are going to get to see us as a couple – how normal we are and how normal we're not. We're honeymooners, so we're thinking about calling it either 'The Newlyweds' or 'The Honeymooners."' Um, sweetie, that last title was taken in 1955.

(Page 2 of 2)
The idea grew out of scribblings on a napkin during dinner two years ago at a microbrewery in San Francisco. The diners were David Beering, a NASA senior telecommunications analyst, and Raymond Cline Jr., a Sandia researcher.
Their thoughts had turned to NASA's launching the previous autumn, in September 1993, of an Advanced Communications Technology Satellite, the first spacecraft that could theoretically handle digital data of up to 622 million bits a second. As the napkin diagram took form, they concluded that their system should operate at about 45 million bits a second. At such speeds the World Book Encyclopedia could be transmitted in about one minute.
Unlike most previous satellites, which might cover the entire continent with a 75-watt signal, NASA's ACTS spacecraft uses high-intensity beams that can focus the 75 watts on a spot only 150 miles in diameter.
These focused beams can provide high-quality transmission through small antennae like the 16 inch by 4 inch flat plate used on the Geco Diamond.
But the ACTS digital satellite link, while crucial, is only the first leg of the trip. The entire setup, known as Aires, is also heavily reliant on the ground-based fiber optic networks operated by telecommunications carriers like AT&T, MCI and Sprint, which have been adopting a new high-speed transmission format known as Asynchronous Transfer Mode networking.
A.T.M., as this technology is known, is a way of shipping digital information in uniform packets that can be sent via satellite, fiber optic or coaxial cable or even copper telephone wire without requiring the costly and time-consuming format conversions that have long dogged data communications.
Mr. Beering said the concept was similar to the shipping industry's development of uniform box-car-like containers that can be handled by truck, boat, train or airplane.
The system uses about $1 billion worth of equipment and communication networks. NASA's cost to build and launch the satellite was about $750 million. The other Government agencies and the corporations involved picked up the additional $250 million in equipment costs.
So far, about 100 companies and research groups have tested the system. The Boeing Company, for example, used the system to link its wind tunnels in Seattle with supercomputers at a NASA research center in Cleveland. Engineers sent wind-tunnel readings on an engine inlet, then used the supercomputer's analysis to make design changes as the tests were still under way.
But it was the oil industry that was particularly interested in getting involved in the Aires project, as petroleum companies look for ways to make more efficient use of data-intensive oil-exploration technology.
Mr. Zernic recalls that when the ACTS satellite program was authorized by Congress in the early 1980's, his agency was eager to show that the effort would have practical applications. And Aires has demonstrated just that, Mr. Zernic contends. "We have to make good with the U.S. taxpayer's dollar," he said.

Subject | Issue with JK2 IIS 5.0 and Tomcat 4.1.30 |
Date | Thu, 01 Jul 2004 17:09:54 GMT |
Hello All, I am having a strange issue in that when I user Jk2 connector for IIS (isapi_redirector2.dll). Everything works fine in the sense that all my requests are by redirected to tomcat from the web server etc. But my app passes chunks of XML back and forth between requests and when I reach that part of the application the request for some reason the XML block is being truncated? And as the XML block gets bigger it sometimes brings down the IIS server!!! So I was wondering if there are any known issues with Jk2 connector in terms of size of data. Or is there some other setting that I am missing? The application works fine if I by pass IIS and hit the Tomcat directly. Help will be appreciated. Thanks, Sudhir | |

IGNORE THE ATTACHMENTS! The "attachments" that are sent via listserv correspondence USUALLY are nothing more than promos for something. They "leach" onto your listserv mail and serve the purpose of some commercial venture. That is why so many companies offer listserv service free. This is a regular event with YAHOO listserv mail. Just ignore it. However, if you are send a REAL attachment, it would be advisable to note that in the text of the email or better yet....send it directly to the people who want the attachment. Otherwise, read the email and close it. It is best just to forget it has an attachment (legitimate or otherwise). wizzlewolf Sheree Rensel Ph.D. Student, Educational Technology firstname.lastname@example.com www.wizzlewolf.com/ep.html www.wizzlewolf.com/nbc.html www.wizzlewolf.com

Part 1: Qualifying Round 1 July 31
Mt. Midoriyama. The last great summit on Earth. It was attempted 2600 times... with only three successes. No American has yet to plant the stars and stripes on the Final Tower of the Sasuke course. But with a $500,000 K-Swiss endorsement deal and ad campaign on the line, is this the year that an American will be crowned king of the Mountain and represent the red, white, and blue as... an American Ninja Warrior?
Three hundred will start. All we need is ONE to finish.
Last season, 10 people were chosen to go to Japan to compete on the Sasuke course. The goal: total victory. A new tournament begins today with the Venice Beach auditions. Just as in seasons past, the American qualifier consists of three heats...
- The Beach: an eliminator course is set up. The fastest 15 times move to... - The Mountains: a boot camp assault course. The ten fastest move on to... - Sasuke: The main event.
And just as last year, if you eat it JUST ONCE (with the exception of the Warped Wall, in which you get three tries), you're done. But first... The Qualifiers. Season 3's Beach Course will start out with ...
- Quad Steps - LOG GRIP - New this season, it has been a mainstay of the Sasuke course since Makoto Nagano beat the game. - Bridge of Blades - JUMP HANG - A longtime favorite of NW fans, it makes it premiere this season in America as well - Jumping Bars - Season 3's version has been made harder; the bars have been spaced an extra six inches - Warped Wall
The 30 best times will advance to the next stage in the competition, the final Beach Course.
If you recall, FOUR Americans - Paul Kasemir, Brian "NoSole" Orosco, Brent Steffensen, and David Campbell - made it to Sasuke Stage 3. Speaking of threes, it's time for Season 3 to GO LIVE!
KOLE STEVENS (36; Carlsbad, CA; firearms instructor) - FAIL (Quad Steps) MIKE MOH (27; St. Paul, MN; martial arts instructor) - FAIL (Quad Steps) THOMAS HYLAND (36, Los Angeles, gym owner and "Deadliest Warrior" stuntman) - FAIL (Log Grip) RUDY McCLEARY (26, San Diego, MMA fighter) - FAIL (Bridge of Blades) "Captain" AMERICUS ABESAMIS (40, Jersey City, NJ, sumo) - Yes, the same guy from "On the Cover" and "Extreme Dodgeball". FAIL (Quad Steps) STEPHANIE WILSON (28; Brooklyn, NY; teen counselor) - FAIL (Quad Steps) MIHAI "The Romanian Monkey" HETEA (27; Ft. Lauderdale, FL, auto service advisor) - FAIL (Jump Hang)
And during the commercials, a rite of passage for any G4 employee...
CANDACE BAILEY (29; Birmingham, AL; co-host of "Attack of the Show" and former gymnast) - FAIL (Log Grip)
Back to the competition, which so far has claimed all who have attempted it.
CHRISTIAN "The Blue Runner" RAMIREZ (21; Los Angeles; cable technician) - FAIL (Jump Hang) TIM HANDLEY (49; Wichita, KS; mail carrier) - FAIL (Bridge of Blades) DAVID MONEY (38; Hailey, ID; jerky maker) - He had the second fastest time in Qualifying last year... FAIL (Jumping Bars) ZAC "Horse" GORDON (24; Harrisburg, PA; daredevil) - He gets "kicked in the balls for a living". FAIL (Jumping Bars... technically afterwards when his foot grazed the water). PHILLIP KINGSLEY (26; Sacramento; student) - FIRST FINISH! (1:35)
And Phillip is on the board after having wiped out last season on the Spider Jump.
NATALIE STRASSER (26; Washington, DC; gymnastics instructor) - FAIL (Jump Hang) ALDWAYNE SIMPSON (28; Richmond, CA; professional boxer) - 1:36
Next, one of last year's finalists...
EVAN "The Rocket" DOLLARD (29; Fox River Grove, IL; writer and website host) - 1:01. They don't call him the Rocket for nothing! ALEJANDRO RODRIGUEZ (32; Anaheim; PhD student in physics) - He emigrated from Cuba. 1:26 MICHAEL DASALLA (26; Mountain View, CA; student) - FAIL (Jump Hang) RYOGA VEE (31; Sunnyvale, CA; computer programmer) - FAIL (Jumping Bars) ANDREW KARSEN (31; Waterford, MI; building manger) - Last year, he was out on the round of 30... This year... FAIL (Warped Wall)
An additional two players, Luis Moco (1:06) and Victor Rivera (1:07) have added their name to the board...
AMOS RENDAO (28; Boulder, CO; parkour instructor) - 1:00 DEAD, beating Evan Dollard.
Another NW vet is in the blocks...
SHANE DANIELS (25; Tustin, CA; stuntman) - This year, he has the toe shoes... AND HE WIPES OUT ON THE QUAD STEPS!
Finally... Another NW vet...
BRENT STEFFENSEN (30; Sandy, UT; stuntman) - Last year, he made it as far as the Stage 3 Ultimate Cliff Hanger. This year... 55:60 and FIRST PLACE POINTS!
The board so far has eight names on it...
But the season is just getting started. More qualifying round action is coming up, but first, we must pause 10 seconds for station identification. This is "American Ninja Warrior" on that network with the video games on it.

Montpellier President Louis Nicollin has taken a swipe at AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani over his pursuit of Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa.
The Rossoneri have reportedly made a €6m offer for defender Yanga-Mbiwa, but the French club rejected it out of hand, even though he only has a year left to run on his contract.
"They think they're really smart at Milan. They just sold a defender for €45m and would like to sign one equally as good for a pittance," slammed Nicollin on Canal+.
"If they were to come to me with an offer of €25-30m, then I might think about selling the lad, but from what I understand they want to spend no more than €5-6m.
"Let them focus on making their little movies. We don't care. If a suitable offer does not arrive, then Yanga-Mbiwa will stay."

If your cause is right. If your cause is true. If your cause is worthy to you, then pay the price; do not collapse; let nothing overwhelm you. Find a way. If the way is not clearly evident, then bide your time and wait.Be strong and of good courage, to do what you must do for the goal that is right and true. Let JESUS show you the way, and be not presumptious of your own ability.Be patient. Be steadfast. Be faithful and true. It is for you to take the time and meditate on these things, and take the time to seek out the scripture of the LORD on these things.The will of GOD is not hidden from you, neither is it far off. Neither do you have to ask who will come and tell me the word of the LORD, that I may hear it and do it. This is GOD'S gift to you.This is the responsibility HE gives you,and that is to choose. Let your faith be in HIM. Humble yourself before HIM, and draw near to HIM, and HE will draw near to you. Jeremiah 6:16 Thus says the LORD,Stand at the crossroads,
and look
,and ask for the ancient paths,where the good way lies,and walk in it,and find rest for your souls. Isaiah 55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Red Wings Face Deadline To Extend Lease Or Find New Arena
ALL ABOUT THE BENJAMINS: In Michigan, George James Malik writes the "bottom line remains a monetary one," as Joe Louis Arena "remains a bare-bones arena in comparison to modern, amenity-rich rinks." The problem here is that the "economic bottoming-out which Metro Detroit has experienced leaves a very, very uncertain financial forecast for the region." If the Red Wings built a new arena with "luxury options galore, does that make sense if Michigan loses a million or more residents over the next ten years?" (MLIVE.com, 6/24).
Facility Notes
NOT CLOSER BY COMMITTEE: In San Diego, Tanya Sierra reports Chula Vista, California, has "put the brakes on a council committee that has been talking with the San Diego Chargers about building a stadium" in the city. Council members last night "decided future plans from the Chargers can go straight to the full council." Council member Pamela Bensoussan: "If we keep a committee just to keep a myth alive, that really serves no purpose. It sends a message we're doing something when actually we're not." Sierra notes while suspending the committee "won't necessarily kill the stadium proposal, it's the latest development that diminishes the prospect of the Chargers moving to Chula Vista" (SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE, 6/24).
DAMAGE ASSESSMENT: In Milwaukee, Don Walker reported Miller Park concessionaire Sportservice had to "throw out plenty of food because of the flood waters that inundated the stadium's service level late last week." Sportservice GM Tom Olson yesterday said that he had "not yet compiled a dollar estimate of damage," but that a damage claim "would be made to Sportservice's insurance company." Meanwhile, the Brewers also are "assessing the amount of damage ... in the service level." The team's indoor batting cages are "out of commission for now, and the carpeting in both clubhouses had to be removed." Walker noted the floodwaters at the ballpark also "damaged or destroyed public records kept by the Miller Park Stadium District in a storage area" (JSONLINE.com, 6/23).
NEW RULES: In Dallas, Jeff Mosier reports private property owners must now register with the city of Arlington and "pay to get a piece of the parking action at Cowboys Stadium," as a new ordinance "sets fees as well as restrictions on where and how parking lots can operation in Arlington's entertainment district." City officials said that the ordinance "should protect neighborhoods from illegal parking, prevent traffic backups getting into lots and help crack down on scam artists" (DALLAS MORNING NEWS, 6/24).

Popping Belts
courtesy of Bob, The Auto Answer Man
Hi Bob,
I have a '97 Dodge Caravan. Lately, we have had problems with the A/C and I'm pretty much at my wit's end. We have had four or maybe five belts replaced due to them popping/snapping off. At this point, I don't have any air conditioning because I don't want to pay to have a belt put on again. Could the pulley be "too tight," causing too much tension? My current technicians don't seem to have any idea and even my dad, who is a certified A/C tech, is at a loss. If you have any fresh ideas for us, we would appreciate it.
It is possible that the A/C compressor pulley is not perfectly aligned with the rest of the drive belt pulleys. I had a Saturn that had this happen. No one could figure out what happened. There was only 30,000 miles on the car. No one ever replaced anything. Then one day, it started popping belts. I replaced the belts three times. It would last for a few days and then pop it again. After very careful inspection, it was noticed that the pulley was not aligned correctly. After further inspection, it was determined that the pulley was on backwards. Since that part had been on the car since it was new (and it looked like it also), this boggled everyone's mind, including the vehicle owner.
Good Luck!
Drive Safely!

The OP mentioned that she is not cheering for Irina Krush on principle however in my case I'm outside the USA and I like Irina ( she is married to a Candian GM plus she writes some nice articles for " Chess Life " from time to time ). She is also a 4 time USA Women's Champion.
FM chesskingdreamer
I bet Anna Muzychuk will win, 20$ on Muzychuck
SHE IS ALREADY ELIMINATED. i take ur bet
Late I put my money on Marie Sebag
Cried a little when I saw Nadezhda and Tatiana the first time.
Socko has been eliminated from the tournament by former world champion Stefanova Antoaneta. Pogonina has been eliminated by Anna Ushenina.
I thought Pia Cramling was a former WWC, I was wrong. Here are the past world champions:
The Kosintseva sisters drew their game and now go to tie-breaks. Irina Krush only needed a draw to advance, but she lost so now will play tie-breakers w/ Huang Qian. Marie Sebag has advanced to the quarterfinals. Dronavalli Harika has advanced to the quarterfinals.
Natalia Zhukova needs to win in order to get to tie-breaks against Wenjun Ju. Zhukova has a queen and two pawns against Ju's bishop, knight, and one pawn. Oddly, the game looks like a draw! It may go to the fifty move rule to obtain the draw. The last capture or pawn move was move 55. They are now on move 78.
Zhukova actually found a way to win, so she will continue her match with Ju tomrrow in tie-breaks. The highest seeded player, number four seed Xue Zhao has also won today, advancing to the quarterfinals.
So, tomorrow we have three tie-break matches, including the Kosintseva sisters playing each other, and Qian vs Krush
edit: because I'm not too bright this morning
hello trysts!
Hi pdela. I see that Marie Sebag is having an excellent tournament!
Thanks for these updates Trysts. I gather that since Irina Krush missed getting the draw today she will have to bring her " A-Game " tomorrow ( go big or go home ? ).
Thank you, cabadenwurt! Yes, her's and the other two matches tomorrow I expect to be filled with nerves.
This thread is a nice piece of journalism, Sharon. The knockout format seems overly complicated to me. Do you feel the players would be better served by a simpler format?
Thank you, electricpawn! I like the format myself, but I don't think the favorites of the tournament did. It's turned out to be like the open candidate's tournament(minus the absurd amount of draws), where the favorites are gone and winner is Gelfand
There was a thread on here, calling it a joke, so there has already been a thread on it.
Hi woodshover! Do you remember the name of the thread?
It was by Monster something. Can't remember his whole name, but it was "Is the women's world championship a joke?" He was saying he asked that because #64 in the world was only rated about 1800.
I think the Monster person is quite wrong. They don't just pick the highest rated players. Here is how the choices were made:
From World Women's Championships 2010-2011:01. Hou, Yifan (CHN) – World Champion 02. Koneru, Humpy (IND) – World Champion Finalist 2011 03. Zhao Xue (CHN) – World Championship Semi finals 2010
b) World Girl Junior Champions 2010-2011:04. Muzychuk, Anna (SLO) 05. Cori T Deysi (PER)
c) Rating List average 7/2011 & 1/2012:06. Gunina, Valentina (RUS) 07. Galliamova, Alisa (RUS) 08. Zhu, Chen (QAT) 09. Kosteniuk, Alexandra (RUS) 10. Skripchenko, Almira (FRA) 11. Ushenina, Anna (UKR)
d) 28 players from European Women's Championships 2010 & 201112. Cramling, Pia (SWE) (2010)13. Cmilyte, Viktorija (LTU) 14. Socko Monika (POL) 15. Sebag, Marie (FRA) 16. Kosintseva Tatiana (RUS) 17.

TOTAL: 64 players
What happened about the other losing World Championship semi finalist I wonder?
Sad to see Natalya Pogonina go out but she appears to have been pretty comprehensively outplayed by Ushenina over the two games. Better luck next time for her.
Not sure who to root for now - maybe I'll be a male chauvenist pig and go for the prettiest lady. :)
I believe it was Monster with no name.
