Annie on My Mind (1982)
by Nancy Garden
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Oh for pete's sake. I was going to say that this book is somewhat dated, a little contrived, but overall lovely and still valuable to those who still feel a bit squeamish about lesbian love.
But then I read the gr community reviews. Such bigotry, such hate... I'm appalled that there are still people, apparently people with access to the English language and to books, who don't recognize that love is what matters, and that it's none of their business what happens in other people's bedrooms.
So, read this book and get the word out so fewer people have to deal with being called 'sinful' or 'disturbed' or 'sick' just because they love someone of the same gender. Some day this book will be only of relevance to historians. Would that day come soon.
Annie on My Mind. By Nancy Garden. McGraw-Hill Ryerson, Ltd. 1982. 234 pages. 0374303665. Grades 8-12.
When Liza happens upon Annie at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, she feels despite their different personalities and backgrounds that she has met a lifelong friend. As they grow closer, however, Liza realizes that her feelings for Annie run deeper than just friendship – and luckily Annie feels the same way. Their relationship blooms tenderly until it is discovered, and Liza feels like her life is crashing down around her. Though societal attitudes towards homosexuality have changed (for the most part), Garden's novel is still a seminal text in the canon of lesbian YA fiction, especially for lesbian youth awash in pop-culture depictions of male homosexuality (not that the "gay best friend" trope does much in advancing representation of gay male youth). The novel's themes are universal – teenage love, acceptance, self-discovery – and Garden's deft portrayal of the girls' romantic intertwining from Liza's point of view is a compelling and realistic depiction of teenage emotions. The work has aged well (in both its New York setting and observant representation of adolescence, it reads like a lesbian Judy Blume novel) – slight chronological dissonances do not detract from the emotional journey upon which the invested reader accompanies Liza, as many gay teenagers do face similar issues in forging romantic relationships, coming out, and discovering themselves. Keep Annie on My Mind on the shelf for all the young women, questioning or self-affirmed, who would like to read and learn from the experiences of those who came before them. Recommended.
Nancy Garden, the author of Annie on my Mind died recently and to honor her memory I had to go back and re-read her amazing book. Why is it amazing? Because it's a story of two high school girls who fall in love -- romantic, physical and sexual love -- and its not smarmy or sensational, or shocked or silly about it.
The shocking thing is that this warm wise, down to earth book was banned and burned and forbidden to people who would have enjoyed reading it and might have even taken some comfort from it.
Two teenagers fall in love. Happens all the time. Written in the 1980's and so perhaps a little - careful - about telling the tale. But real and true and solid all the same.
Gets inside the mind of a teen age girl discovering what love is and what growing up is and what right is and what wrong is.
Not great writing but a great story. It will stick in your mind. It sticks in mine. I'm smiling now as I type this.
this isn't a spectacular story and it isn't gorgeous prose, but this is solid, and i very much enjoyed reading it. i think there's a lot to relate to in this story about two girls who discover love together. they could just as easily been different races a couple of decades earlier, or the focus could have been more on their class differences, or they could have been two boys, or of different religions in a more devout area/time, etc. it's a story about discovering something about yourself and deciding what to do about it. well, as garden says in the interview at the end of this edition, ultimately it's about love, this story, and i feel like she captures young love so accurately. ("young" as in early stages, not "young" as in high school, although that is where this takes place.)
really, the only thing that didn't seem believable to me was how much time they were allowed to spend together. being suspended from school and not being grounded, but instead being allowed to hang out with your best friend? not in my young adult life.
this was written in the early 80's and it seemed to take place a little before that, and looking at it as a story from that time, it feels like an accurate representation. (except for the never being grounded thing.)
i really, really enjoyed a few of the characters in this book (in particular annie, ms stevenson and ms widmer, chad), which made it even more nice to read. and maybe the best part of this book, especially because it's a young adult novel, is that garden doesn't dance around any of the issues. she tells the story she wants to tell, and in so doing she addresses head on the issues that these girls (
"Annie pulled her collar up around her throat and I wanted to touch her skin where the collar met it. It was as if I'd always wanted to touch her there but hadn't known it."
"I went downstairs to Dad's encyclopedia and looked up HOMOSEXUALITY, but that didn't tell me much about any of the things I felt. What struck me most, though, was that, in that whole long article, the word "love" wasn't used even once. That made me mad; it was as if whoever wrote the article didn't know that gay people actually love each other."
Of all of her works, Garden is best well known for her YA love story, Annie on My Mind, "The first teen novel with both a young lesbian (or gay) protagonist and a definitely happy ending," (Annie 252).
The experiences of the characters in today's books about queer adolescents differ dramatically from those in Annie on my Mind (originally published 1982) where the only book to be found at home to speak to the character's experience was the (woefully inadequate) dictionary! Modern readers may need to take time to understand how the world has changed in the decades since this book came out. The changes in culture that took place since 1982 can be seen not only through literature, but in our laws: sodomy laws were struck down by the US Supreme Court, challenges were made to queer members of the US military, and the right of same-sex couples to marry became recognized in a number of countries worldwide and some US states.
While the stories of lesbians are no longer so secret and invisible, there are still many teens who have experiences similar to Annie and Liza. Despite its age, the story may resonate with anyone who's had a relationship that was challenged by friends and school mates, and forbidden by parents. What's so outrageous about love and finding one's place in the world?
First published in 1982, Annie has celebrated more than 25 years in print, an attribute that becomes more rare as the publishing market struggles with slim profit margins. Translated into Chinese, Slovenian, Italian, and Korean, it has been included on several Best lists and won several awards for its quality writing and its subject matter. As controversial as the subject of LGBTQ youth is today, books with queer characters were even more rare in 1982, when Annie was published. Rarer still at the time were books with lesbian characters that had a happy ending. As a teen, when Garden turned to literature to explore the lives and experiences of people that reflected her own attraction to a female classmate, found the material lacking. Reading about gay and lesbian characters who were (exclusively) closeted, institutionalized, turned straight, or who died due to accidents, violence, or suicide, Garden vowed she would "someday write a book about my people with a happy ending," (Annie 242-243). Garden explained to Kathleen Horning in an interview that the inspiration for the novel came from her "desire to tell the truth about gay people—that we're not sick or evil; that we can and do fall in love and lead happy, healthy, productive lives (Annie 247).
The greatest challenge to the book came more than a decade after Annie was published. In 1993, after copies were donated to a number of schools in the Kansas City area, the Olathe, Kansas school board decided to remove it from the shelves for its lesbian content. The controversy, which lasted for years, culminated in the book being burned on the steps of the Kansas City School Board building. In response, Garden told interviewer Christine Jenkins, "I kept thinking on the way: Burned! I didn't think people burned books any more. Only Nazis burn books." With the ACLU, several area families and a teacher sued the school district . . . and won . The federal district court, in Case v. Unified School District No. 233, found that the school had violated the students's rights under the First Amendment, the Kansas State Constitution, and the school board's own policies.

This groundbreaking book, first published in 1982, is the story of two teenage girls whose friendship blossoms into love and who, despite pressures from family and school that threaten their relationship, promise to be true to each other and their feelings.
Of the author and the book, the Margaret A. Edwards Award committee said, "Nancy Garden has the distinction of being the first author for young adults to create a lesbian love story with a positive ending. Using a fluid, readable style, Garden opens a window through which readers can find courage to be true to themselves."
The 25th Anniversary Edition features a full-length interview with the author by Kathleen T. Horning, Director of the Cooperative Children's Book Center. Ms. Garden answers such revealing questions as how she knew she was gay, why she wrote the book, censorship, and the book's impact on readers - then and now.

From Barnes & NobleThe Barnes & Noble Review
A rotund cannon with a Fu Manchu mustache, herky-jerky delivery, and 98-mile-per-hour fastball, relief pitcher Richard "Goose" Gossage brought showmanship and competitive drama to his role as closer. In his entertaining autobiography, The Goose is Loose, Gossage recounts his 22 years of major league experience with honesty, candor, and the sheer personality that made him famous.
The Goose debuted with the White Sox in 1972 and finished his career with the Seattle Mariners in 1994. In between, he toured the majors: Pirates, Yankees, Padres, Cubs, Giants, Rangers, A's, and even the Daiei Hawks in the Japanese League. Over his career, Goose amassed 310 career saves to go along with 124 wins, a 3.00 ERA, and 1,502 strikeouts in 1,809 innings. In his first year of Hall of Fame eligibility, he and Bruce Sutter were the top vote getters among relievers, though each fell short of the 375 votes needed to qualify (Sutter received 192 votes, Goose 166).
Goose respected the game of baseball and couldn't stand losing. His voracious appetite for life was renowned, as was his pedal-to-the-metal style. The night that San Diego won the 1984 pennant, Goose hosted the team celebration. Three guesses who corralled Padres owner Joan Kroc (complete in evening gown and coiffed hair) and tossed her into the deep end of the swimming pool.
On occasion, Goose got outpranked. Once, while with the Cubs, he was sitting on the can and enjoying his Sporting News -- which Ryne Sandburg proceeded to stealthily light on fire. And in a scene that has to be read to be believed, Goose was lured into a mud-wrestling engagement with a female version of himself.
Goose's days with the White Sox, where he alternated between starting and relieving, soured in the infamous 1976 campaign. "Play for a team that wins 64 games (out of 161) in six months and you'll discover just how interminable a baseball season can be. Try keeping your composure, never mind a straight face, when you're forced to play in short pants." From the White Sox, Goose was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates, where he had a breakout year (11 wins, 26 saves, 1.62 ERA, 151 K's in 133 innings) and established himself as an overpowering closer. The Pirate team was a loose bunch that, several years later, would win the World Series, and who, like the White Sox, sported unfortunate uniforms: "Occasionally, we wore a solid yellow uniform, which made Willie Stargell and Dave Parker look like giant bananas."
During his career, Goose participated in many of baseball's memorable games and pivotal events. Two innings after Bucky Dent hit his "Shot Heard 'Round the World," Goose preserved the 5-4 victory by vanquishing Carl Yazstrzemski with runners on first and third. Several years later, Goose served up George Brett's pine-tar home run. He witnessed Pete Rose's 4,192nd hit, and the following year made Rose's final major league at-bat a three-pitch strikeout (the last pitch was "a nasty backdoor slider. A bastard pitch"). Goose saved the first night game at Wrigley Field, and when Nolan Ryan notched his 308th career win, Gossage closed the game -- for his 308th career save.
In addition to the memorable games, Goose recalls some of baseball's worst tragedies. Goose was vacationing with his wife in Puerto Rico when Roberto Clemente was killed, and he was a friend and teammate of Thurman Munson's when Munson's plane went down.
Goose was forced to undergo a drastic change in lifestyle after a doctor told him he would have to give up booze to keep pitching. "As you may have surmised," writes Goose, "the list of things in life I love more than beer is short. One of the few items on it, however, is baseball. If my being physically able to pitch hinged on giving up beer, so be it. That's what I'd have to do." Effective to the end, Goose didn't retire willingly -- he simply ran out of job offers and has since stayed off the sauce.
Gossage finishes his book by mentioning his chances at going to Cooperstown: "If it happens, fine. If not, that's okay, too. I have many fond memories from my long years of service in the major leagues, and not a single regret." One senses that Goose is graciously understating his feelings about the Hall of Fame, and that Cooperstown would be a fitting place for this well-traveled baseball talent and personality.

In Shelton v. Liberty Mutual Fire Ins. Co., 2014 U.S. App. Lexis 16120 (11th Cir., August 21, 2014), the Court addressed an often-contested issue regarding homeowner's sinkhole insurance coverage. The Sheltons filed a claim for a suspected sinkhole loss with their insurer Liberty Mutual.
The Florida Statutes require property insurers to make sinkhole coverage available. Originally, the statute defined sinkhole loss as "actual physical damage" to the property caused by sinkhole activity. In 2005, the legislature redefined sinkhole loss as "structural damage to the building" caused by sinkhole activity; however, the statute did not define the term "structural damage." In 2011, the legislature again amended the statute to supply a definition of the phrase "structural damage," which was to be used "in connection with any policy providing coverage" for sinkhole loss. The definition required one of five technical elements to be met in order to constitute structural damage.
After the 2011 amendment, Liberty Mutual issued a renewal homeowners policy to the Sheltons. The policy provided coverage for sinkhole loss defined as structural damage to the building caused by sinkhole activity; however, the policy did not define the term "structural damage." The Sheltons made a claim for sinkhole loss and Liberty Mutual retained an engineer to investigate. The engineer concluded that the damage to the Shelton residence did not meet the statutory definition of "structural damage." Based on this finding, Liberty Mutual denied the claim.
The Sheltons then filed suit alleging Liberty Mutual breached the contract and contending the statutory definition did not apply because it was not included in the policy. The district court agreed, concluding the phrase "structural damage" should be given its plain meaning, which – according to the district court – is "damage to the structure."
On appeal, the Eleventh Circuit reversed citing the principal that the laws of Florida are part of every Florida contract. The 2011 statute, including the definition of the phrase "structural damage," was in effect before the policy was issued, and the statute expressly stated that the definition was to be used in connection with any policy providing coverage for sinkhole losses. Therefore, the Court reasoned, the statutory definition is part of the policy.
The Court also rejected the Sheltons' argument that the statutory definition should not apply because their policy is a renewal policy and Liberty Mutual allegedly failed to notify the Sheltons of a substantive change to the sinkhole coverage. The Court cited another Florida statute specifically stating that the application of mandated legislative changes is not a change in policy terms. Therefore, the Court did not need to decide whether adding the definition of "structural damage" constituted a "change in policy terms."

Defrosting Patterns
September 20, 2003
This June 2003 Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) picture shows patterns created by defrosting processes on the south polar seasonal ice cap. Seasonal cap refers to the part of the polar cap that comes and goes with the seasons, as opposed to the residual cap, which lasts throughout the summer. The area shown here, in summer, will have no frost. This picture was taken during southern spring. As the seasonal frost begins to sublime away, dark cracks form a polygon pattern, and wind blows material to form varied bright and dark streaks. What is unknown is whether the dark streaks consist of sand and silt from beneath the seasonal frost, or whether they, too, consist of frost that has been transformed into coarse-grained particles that can be mobilized by wind. Alternatively, the streaks represent erosion and removal of frost, rather than deposition of granular material. The bright streaks are most likely made of frost -- whether they are water ice or carbon dioxi

Desperate Advertising
So Nissan thinks promoting and supporting the latest Hollywood sleaze such as "Desperate Housewives" is good marketing (see WAW — Mar. '05, p. 34)? For millions of Americans sick of the sludge coming out of the entertainment industry, this is a slap in the face. We can now cross Nissan off our shopping list when it comes time to buy our next car or truck. When will marketers learn to be creative without being offensive? Are they afraid to talk about the actual attributes of their products?

The powertrain article in the March issue (see WAW — Mar. '05, p. 11) reports Saab will build GM's new turbocharged V-6. I was interested to read that the engine will have 32 valves. Could you tell us if the engine will have 5.333 valves per cylinder, or if two cylinders have six valves each?
Jeffery DiCarlo
Holyoke, MA
Doh! We like to be the first to report on new valvetrain strategies, but unfortunately, this is not an example of one of them. It was a typo that about six editors overlooked. The new V-6 has 24 valves.
Who Needs Parts Anyway?
John McElroy's proposal for a low-cost redesign involving the modification of a previous model's tooling wouldn't work — there would be no way to manufacture service parts for the previous model anymore (see WAW — Mar. '05, p. 23). I've worked on the service-parts side of the OE business for 21 years and have noted that service is always an afterthought, at best.
However, during my years as a release engineer on a platform team, I too failed to consider service requirements due to the shifting priorities dictated by the development process. While under pressure to cut costs and satisfy customers, workers on both the technical and commercial side of our business are being driven to neglect service parts even further.
We must remember serviceability and the cost/quality of parts directly impacts corporate warranty costs and customer insurance rates. Unless vehicles are immune to failures, abuse and collisions, there is no way to avoid a high level of service-parts support. So, while John's new company would save big on development costs, it would suffer immeasurably in customer satisfaction and retention. Additionally, trying to make an "all-time buy" of parts before tooling changeovers never has proven effective. As the saying goes, "you can pay me now or pay me much more later."

John McElroy responds:
I believe re-freshening product lines very quickly and cheaply trumps worrying about service parts. Outsource that to the amazingly agile aftermarket companies that consistently produce replacement parts cheaper than you do. Go for the throat, change the rules! Bring back the annual styling change!
Rotary Retort
In response to Mr. GM employee's "Rotary A Best Engine?" letter (see WAW — Mar. '05, p. 7), I am shocked you've had to do some engine work on your 13-year-old third-generation Mazda RX-7, but I'm pleased that you will fix it instead of trading it in for a Camaro. I understand your attachment; the rotary engine is unique, powerful and functional.
Yes, rotary engines use crankcase oil to lubricate their internal engine seals, but you called the RX-8's Renesis engine "a 2-cycle weed eater." This would be true if your weed eater is a 4-cycle LEV (low-emission vehicle) that doesn't use premix fuel, has a built in low-oil level indicator, produces 238 hp, has a 6-speed manual transmission and goes 0-60 in 5.9 seconds, all while accommodating four adults.
Maybe "pavement eater" is more apt. Despite our differences in opinion, I also buy and drive Mazdas, and they'll have to pry my rotary-powered car's steering wheel from my cold dead hands.

The Fun's Just Starting
Drew Winter's commentary, "Choppers not Walkers," was excellent (see WAW — Feb. '05, p.7). I turned 54 this year, and I'm just as interested in fun and excitement as ever. Just because we're getting older, doesn't mean we are ready to lie down. When I'm not zipping around in my little sports car, I still tool around my property on my off-road go-cart or Japanese dirt bike. Someone said, "We don't stop playing because we grow old. Rather, we grow old because we stop playing." I know I'll still be playing into my 60s and 70s, even if I have to soup-up my electric wheel chair for excitement.

Call For Change
It seems government intervention as related to the rising health-care costs and pension liabilities of auto makers and suppliers is a double-edged sword, for the employee anyway. It isn't whether I agree or disagree, but the keying on the "perception" that you assume others have of the U.S.-based auto and parts manufacturers, both in product quality, styling, and now views on what are acceptable management tools (Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection).
I think all of us, in the Detroit area for sure, have benefited financially and philanthropically from U.S.-based auto and parts manufacturers beyond compare. It is time for us to work together to get the most for all of us — health-care assistance and pension protection from anywhere we can get it, including the government. We need to stop the alarmist negativity in the media and work together to force the changes that need to occur to get us back to a winning attitude as we work to maintain our financial security. Say, do you have change for a paradigm?

Maxx at Minimum Output
The caption under the photo of a Chevrolet Malibu Maxx in the hatchback story (see WAW — Feb. '05 p. 32-33) reads: "Chevy Malibu Maxx sales are exceeding forecasts." I work for a Tier 2 supplier that manufactures the second-row seat frames for the Malibu Maxx. Our facility was tooled up to produce 150,000 units in the first year, but our production never came close to that level.
Furthermore, we have received confirmation from our customer that volumes now will be 30,000 units per year or less for the remainder of the vehicle's life. The article states "a hatchback variant from an existing platform can sell successfully in annual volumes below 30,000 units." This shouldn't be used as a blanket statement for all models. I believe GM hoped for strong sales of the Maxx, and that's why we are tooled for so much production.

I have read a lot about Aqua and their products. They get a good mention form various web sites. For me, the lens was too close to my eyes. Therefore, I will return and look for something else.
fit great and seal- very important.they don't pinch or give you a headache. Great goggles for a smaller adult face.
I love these goggles. They don't leak and I can wear them for swims over an hour and they never cause pain.
the Aqua Sphere Kaiman goggle are great! since I bought for the first time a year ago.it fix in my face just right.
perfect fit and seal
I swim in the ocean a couple of times each week and need clear, well fitting, non leaky goggles just to find the buoys and make my way around the ocean for safety. These are the best fitting goggles I've used and I go through about 4 pair a year.
I struggled for months to find a goggle that would not leak over a 2 hours swim on my size 7 head. Until I found these, it was a futile struggle. I would have to empty water from my goggles every 20 minutes. I am now on my 3 set of these with no problems
Had a pair of the regular size and they leaked. These fit my smaller face and nose perfectly. Never leak.
When I began using these I thought they were too tight and uncomfortable on the bridge of my nose but with some adjustment and continued use, I really like them now. I have a small bridge and I now like the feel of the piece which goes over it. They are great at keeping water out and don't fog up as others do. I made a mistake and ordered two but now glad I did as will save the others for back up.

ROFL! Very nice
Man if my mage was that ugly….
I'm jelly now (if it's true that there's a closed Diablo 3 beta).
Also: I second the motion to buff mages, even thou I do not play one.
We need a giant foot at some point… maybe a giant foot instead of a banhammer…
so is that the buy cialis fast shipping epic mage transformation from patch 4.4 then?
Quick question: why would a Human mage be picketing outside of the Horde's front door?
On another note, gotta love the alt text.
You're a Wizard, Harry! I'm a what?
Buff Mages, Wizards, Sorcerors, cheap generic levitra etc!
I applaud you, sir. Very Monty Python.
Nerf mages. Give me charge/ intercept on seperate CD. Nerf the hell out of generic viagra canada for sale hunters. Kill all gnomes (better yet allow me), and give me a D3 beta so I can teach a new generation how to play a barbarian (hint it involves weight lifting, beer drinking and excessive amounts of body hair/ odor).
Mages do need a buff.

Jack Dorsey, co-founder and chairman of Twitter Inc. and co-founder and chief executive officer of Square Inc., speaks during an interview at Just Baked Cupcakes in Detroit, Michigan, U.S., on Tuesday, Sept. 17, 2013. Twitter Inc., which announced plans last week for an initial public offering, is still deciding whether to list on the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq Stock Market, setting off a horse race for the high-profile deal. Photographer: Jeff Kowalsky/Bloomberg *** Local Caption *** Jack Dorsey Jeff Kowalsky
The UpTake: Even as the government makes it more difficult to spend encrypted currency, private companies are making it easier. Who will win is anyone's guess.
Update: A Square spokesperson said the company is accepting bitcoin using the Coinbase platform, and unlike many other bitcoin payment processors, will charge 2.75 percent instead of 1 percent, according to a Re/code report.
The IRS seems hellbent on making bitcoin unusable for casual transactions, but private industry today picked up the slack by making it easier than ever for the millions of people who use Square, the payment processing app co-founded by Jack Dorsey.
"The most important thing for us in building a register, and building a point of sale is that no matter what payment device comes over the counter, the merchant always makes the sale,' Dorsey said in a Techonomy talk last year, foreshadowing today's announcement. "So if a buyer is using cash, a check, their phone, or bitcoin, we should always make the sale."
Then, in a post today, Ajit Varma, Square market lead wrote, "For sellers, the experience won't feel any different. Whether selling services or goods, sellers don't have to change a thing, except potentially expecting new trailblazing customers and more sales."
When checking out from a store that uses Square, including Starbucks, Whole Foods, and over 250,000 other merchants, any of Square's more than three million customers can now select "Pay with Bitcoin," open their wallets, scan the QR code of a unique address for the exact amount due, and transmit the amount. The seller then receives the amount for the purchased goods or services in the value of U.S. dollars at the time of transaction, thereby avoiding the risks associated with the fluctuating price of the currency.

Funeral Director Considers Burial Offers
By Jessica Michalski - email
May 6th, 2013
May 6th, 2013
BOSTON (AP) — A Massachusetts funeral director says the mother of a Boston Marathon bombing suspect wants the body returned to Russia for burial.
But Peter Stefan says he doesn't think Russia will take the body of Tamerlan Tsarnaev and is working on other arrangements, which include offers from out-of-state cemeteries.
Stefan said Monday he couldn't be more specific, yet. He added he was worried protests will rise up at any place that agrees to bury Tsarnaev, as they have at his own funeral home.
Stefan has said he plans to ask for a burial in the city of Cambridge, where Tsarnaev lived. Cambridge has urged him not to do so.

Responses towards a dying adult group member in a wild New World monkey

Compassionate caretaking behaviour towards dying adult group members has been reported as being unique to humans and chimpanzees. Here we describe in detail the reaction of a wild dominant male common marmoset, a neotropical primate, to the accidental death of the dominant female of its group. The male exhibited behaviours towards the dying female that resembled those of chimpanzees and humans. The long-term relationship between the dominant pair (which lasted at least 3.5 years) and their social status in the group may have contributed to the male's behavioural response. The male prevented young individuals from approaching the dying female, behaviour previously observed in chimpanzees. The data provide an interesting insight into compassionate caretaking behaviours in New World primates as well as the pair-bond systems of common marmosets. These are rare observations, and thus their detailed descriptions are essential if we are to create a comparative and enhanced understanding of human and nonhuman primate thanatology.

The truest answer to violence is love. The truest answer to death is life. The only prevention for violence is for the heart to have no violence within it. We cannot prevent evil through any system devised by mankind. But we can grapple with evil and defeat it, but only with love—real love.

Kerala Congress (M) leader and Finance Minister K.M. Mani on Tuesday disowned his party's Government Chief Whip P.C. George's views on the possible return of K.B. Ganesh Kumar to the Chandy Cabinet.
Mr. George, who has been involved in a running quarrel with Mr. Ganesh Kumar for some time now, did not lose time in spelling out his opposition to the move to re-induct Mr. Ganesh Kumar as a Minister. The issues that led to his resignation continued to be relevant, he said and maintained that it would not be ethical to bring him back. However, Mr. Mani made it clear at a press conference later that he did not share George's views. He welcomed the move to bring back Mr. Ganesh Kumar, besides discounting any ethical issues connected to his re-induction.
"Mr. Ganesh Kumar was not dismissed from office on grounds of corruption or other issue, but had resigned on his own on moral grounds. Therefore, there was no road blocks in his returning to the Cabinet," he said responding to questions on his party colleagues stand. "P.C. George is surviving because of the support of the media," he added.
Mr. Mani said that the UDF had not discussed the issue of Cabinet reshuffle. The Chief Minister would discuss the matter with the leaders of constituent parties when the time comes. "We will express our opinions at that time," he said.
The stage for Mr. Ganesh Kumar's possible return to the Chandy Cabinet was set on Monday evening, when Kerala Congress (B) chairman R. Balakrishna Pillai conveyed it to the UDF leadership that he had no objection to the re-induction of his son, Mr. Ganesh Kumar, if he was ready to abide by the directions of the party leadership.
The former Minister also had made the right moves, by trying to mend his relations with his father and Nair Service Society general secretary Sukumaran Nair.
Mr. George has been running a campaign against Mr. Ganesh Kumar, besides being responsible for placing in public domain his marital problems that culminated in his resignation when his wife filed a police complaint under the Domestic Violence Act. The former Minister later settled his marital issues.
Chief Minister Oommen Chandy has promised to hold discussions with the other UDF leaders on the filling up of the vacancy caused by Mr. Ganesh Kumar's resignation. The Kerala Congress (B) had a rightful claim to the slot, but it had temporarily set aside its claim in the backdrop of the moves to bring in KPCC president Ramesh Chennithala. Mr. Pillai decided to stake his claim for a ministerial berth when the move to bring in Mr. Chennithala was aborted.
Now that Mr. Pillai has decided to accept the UDF's offer to make him Chairman of the Forward Class Welfare Commission with Cabinet rank, the Kerala Congress (B) will get additional benefits if Mr. Ganesh Kumar too is inducted as Minister.
There is considerable opposition within the Congress and the UDF to the move to give two Cabinet posts to a party which has only one MLA in the House.
In reply to a question on this issue, Mr. Mani said there had been occasion when the State witnessed the induction of Chief Ministers belonging to a party which had fewer number of MLAs.
He said that his party would continue to make all attempts to wrest two seats in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (Penguin Drop Caps)by James Joyce

Publisher Comments:

With exclusive designs that have never before appeared on Hische's hugely popular Daily Drop Cap blog, the Penguin Drop Caps series debuted with an 'A' for Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, a 'B' for Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre, and a 'C' for Willa Cather's My Antonia. It continues with more perennial classics, perfect to give as elegant gifts or to showcase on your own shelves.
J is for Joyce. From its chronicling of youthful days at Clongowes Wood school to the radical questioning of all convention and the desire to forge in the smithy of my soul the uncreated conscience of my race," James Joyce's highly autobiographical A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man portrays Stephen Dedalus in his Dublin upbringing. In doing so, it provides an oblique self-portrait of young Joyce himself. At its center lie questions of origin and source, authority and authorship, and the relationship of an artist to his family, culture, and race. Exuberantly inventive in style, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man subtly and beautifully orchestrates the patterns of quotation and repetition instrumental in its hero's quest to create his own character, his own language, life and art: to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defense the only arms I allow myself to use — silence, exile, and cunning."
James Joyce's first and most widely read novel, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is the story of Stephen Dedalus, a young man struggling to decide between a religious vocation and an artistic one. The aftermath of the struggle that is so poignantly and unflinchingly recorded forms a large part of the story of Joyce's masterwork, Ulysses, in which Stephen reappears as a main character.
About the Author
James Joyce was born in Dublin on February 2, 1882, the oldest of ten children. Though the family was poor, he was educated at the best Jesuit schools and then at University College, Dublin. Following his graduation in 1902, Joyce went to Paris, where he devoted himself to writing poems and prose sketches until he was recalled to Dublin in April 1903 due to the fatal illness of his mother. There he met a young woman from Galway, Nora Barnacle, and persuaded her to go with him to the Continent, where he planned to teach English, and in 1905 they moved to Trieste. They had two children, a son and a daughter. His first book, the poems of Chamber Music, was published in London in 1907. When Italy entered the First World War, Joyce moved to Zurich, where he remained until 1919. During this period he published A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) and Exiles, a play (1918). Soon after the armistice, Joyce moved to Paris to arrange for the publication of Ulysses, a book which he had been working on since 1914. It was published on his birthday, in 1922, and brought him international fame. The same year he began work on Finnegans Wake, and though much harassed by eye troubles, and deeply affected by his daughters mental illness, he completed and published that book in 1939. After the outbreak of the Second World War, he went to live in Unoccupied France, then managed to secure permission in December 1940 to return to Zurich. Joyce died there six weeks later, on January 13, 1941, and was buried in the Fluntern Cemetery.
