With just over a month before Monster Jam makes its yearly descent on Las Vegas and return to Sam Boyd Stadium, the reveal of the first half of the field saw many familiar faces, and champions.
As expected, drivers like Tom Meents, Dennis Anderson, Cam McQueen and other past champions will set forth in their quest to embark on another trophy. Others with World Finals experience, such as Chad Fortune and Alex Blackwell, return in familiar trucks hoping to win their first championship.
However a lot of fans wondered if a majority of the first half was made up of past champions at the event, who would make up the second half of the 28-truck field. With the final spot in the line-up guaranteed to be the winner of the Young Guns Shootout, held the previous night on what is called "Double Down Friday," that left 13 spots to the guessing.
The guessing game is done, as Monster Jam revealed the list of who will fill the remaining seats in Las Vegas. Take a look at the final 13 trucks:
- Pablo Huffaker: Blue Thunder (2007 World Freestyle champion)
- Ryan Anderson: Son-uva Digger
- Lee O'Donnell: Iron Man
- Todd Leduc: Metal Mulisha
- Bari Musawwir: Spiderman (2012 Young Guns Shootout champion)
- Steve Simms: Stone Crusher
- Norm Miller: Batman
- Candice Jolly: Monster Mutt Dalmatian
- George Balhan: Mohawk Warrior
- Jon Zimmer: Superman
- Sean Duhon: Zombie
- Scott Buetow: Team Hot Wheels FIRESTORM
- Nicole Johnson: Scooby Doo
- 2013 Young Guns Shootout Champion-Determined March 22
The second half of the field is rather interesting. You have four drivers with big World Finals experience in Jolly, Balhan, O'Donnell and Huffaker. But Huffaker is in a unique spot, as the truck he will be driving is making a return to the World Finals field for the first time since 2010, and it's likely a truck that Huffaker will not sit in until practice the Thursday before.
Normally, Blue Thunder is campaigned by Dan Evans, but Huffaker gets the nod being the former champion.
Miller is behind the wheel of the truck that John Seasock piloted to back-to-back titles from 2007-2008, but with an updated look. Leduc stood the crowd on it's ear one year ago, having moved into the main event as Brian Deegan, the leader of the Mulisha gang, got injured in an off-road wreck days earlier. Leduc then put up the fastest time of the night, taking the top qualifying spot.
Spiderman is no stranger to the World Finals field, debuting in 2001 with Gary Porter driving and for the last three years driven by Chad Tingler, who usually drives a Grave Digger truck. This year, thanks to his victory in the Shootout one year ago, Musawwir gets his chance at the big time.
Zimmer makes his return to the field after a one-year hiatus, and after having great success as the new Team Digger driver, he will take over a ride that also is returning to the World Finals field after a one-year break.
The final three spots are all driver debuts, with two new trucks appearing for the first time. Johnson made it to the finals in the Shootout one year ago, and now there's no question of where she is as her Scooby Doo machine is ready make the field say "Ruh roh." Team Hot Wheels will now rely on Scott Buetow to earn a victory, and finally as if coming back from the dead, Sean Duhon gets set to spook everyone out in the Zombie truck.
Both regular and Double Down seats are still available for this year's World Finals in Las Vegas. Visit MonsterJam.com for all event information, including host hotels and all events leading up to the big show.

Yesterday, an Ukrainian newspaper published an interview with the Ukrainian greco wrestler (68-69-74 kg) Rustam Adzhi, 1995 world champ, 3rd at the 2001 worlds; now head coach of the Jr. national team.
Worldwide there is a population of more than 20 million Gypsies, Adzhi being the only one Gypsy who ever had international success in wrestling.
He is talking about his childhood. Born in 1973, he lived in a big family (8 children) in a Gypsy camp, in a very small ?house? (something that was said to be a house) where everybody slept on the floor. When he had to go out to piss in the night he had to jump over his sleeping patents, brothers and sisters. Everybody smoked and drank in the ?house?. Non-stop drinking parties there. When he was 14 (in 1987) he was happy to have an occasion to leave the house and his family entering a sport school and moving to the school hostel. In the following years, he felt better though he had nothing but a pair of sport shoes which he wore during many winters and many summers. Plus any sports suits which the coaches gave him as presents when he won any competition.
He said that several other Gypsies tried wrestling but withdrew after an year or so. He sees the reason for the lack of motivation in the Gypsies' mentality and behavior which are a mentality and a behavior of nomads and travelers. The consequence: no consistency, no discipline.
He himself learned to be disciplined and consistent because he wanted to run away from the Gypsy life that he once lived.

The MSCI Emerging Markets Source ETF aims to provide the performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets TR (Net) Index* (the "Benchmark Index") which is derived from the MSCI Global Investable Market Indices (GIMI) Methodology. The Benchmark Index provides exposure to large and mid cap representation across 21 Emerging Markets (EM) countries.
The Fund invests substantially all of its assets in a diversified portfolio of international equities (which are not necessarily selected from the Benchmark Index). In order to achieve its investment objective, the Fund enters into over-the-counter derivative contracts called "outperformance swaps". Under the terms of these outperformance swaps, the Fund receives (or pays) the difference between the performance of its equity portfolio and the performance of the Benchmark Index.

|Social Decision Making and Problem Solving. A program that teaches all children to "think clearly" when under stress. The program is curriculum-based and occurs in three developmental phases. The readiness phase targets self-control, group participation, and social awareness skills. The instructional phase teached an eight-step social decision-making strategy to students. The application phase teaches children to use these skills in real life interpersonal and academic situations.
Audience Approved by PEP for teachers, administrators, guidance, child study team staff, and parents of children in grades K-6, both in regular and special education programs.
Description Social Decision Making and Problem Solving works by training educators and parents to equip children with skills in self-control and group participation, the use of an eight-step social decision-making strategy, and the practical know-how regarding the use of these skills in real life and academic areas.
The program is curriculum-based and occurs in three developmental phases. The readiness phase targets self-control, group participation and social awareness skills. The instructional phase teaches an eight-step social decision-making strategy to students. The application phase provides practice to help children apply these skills in real life interpersonal and academic situations.
The primary objective is to teach children a set of heuristic social decision-making thinking steps. Lessons are taught to the children on a regular basis by their classroom teacher. Extensive guided practice and role playing are used, as is skill modeling and the use of hypothetical social problem situations. Facilitative questioning and dialogue stimulates the integration of the techniques. And, cooperative group projects and writing assignments further advance that process.
The Social Decision Making program targets the National Goals for Education which address substance abuse and violence, the rights and responsibilities of citizenship, productive employment, and the critical thinking skills inherent in all aspects of academic and social learning.
Evidence of Effectiveness In pilot tests and published evaluations that have been emerging since 1979, teachers who were trained were found to improve in their ability to facilitate children's social decision- making and problem-solving. The children who received the program improved their social decision-making and problem-solving skills relative to control groups. Students also showed more prosocial behavior in school as well as greater ability to cope with stress upon their transition to middle school, when compared to control youngsters. Students who were followed up in high school showed high levels of positive, prosocial behavior and decreased anti-social, self-destructive and social disordered behavior when compared to controls.
Requirements At the building or district level, the school(s) is asked to form a Social Decision Making committee. This committee moves into a leadership role to provide guidance to the program's multiyear development as well as to provide consultation support to the teachers who are brought on board to teach the program. The committee should consist of some key teachers, representatives from the district/building administration, and such specialists as substance abuse counselors, guidance counselors and special education professionals.
Costs Training costs are negotiable and include a per diem plus travel expenses for the trainer and approximately $28 per participant (typically limited to 30 people) for workshop materials for a school building-based training. Costs for regional trainings may vary.
Services Awareness materials and presentations are available. Staff provide a two-day curriculum lab training workshop for those teachers and practitioners who will be teaching Social Decision Making directly to the students. Members of the Social Decision Making committee stay for a third day to prepare them for their role. Information is also available regarding how to bring parents on board with Social Decision Making. These trainings most often are offered on the school district site but are also available at our New Jersey location. All trainees become regular recipients of the program's newsletter, The Problem Solving Connection.
Developmental Funding: National Institute of Mental Health, William T. Grant Foundation, and Schumann Fund for New Jersey.

Thank you all for the great info and advice. Your right, I should have made my rig before attaching it and that would have saved me a lot of frustration. Even if I need to build all the bones without duplicating, your right that Carrara is easier than other programs and is still faster too. Now that I know what not to do I'm sure I'll enjoy using Carrara.
If I get stuck again it's good to know I can get advice.
Thanks again

I am unable to delete my posts.
I deleted a certain post by another person, due to a certain reason, and everything worked well. However, when it comes to my posts, I am unable to delete.
Please see posts #12 and #13 here.
Please fix the problem.
Character is who you are when no one is looking.
I've sometimes been unable to delete posts, but it's always a temporary thing.
Navigate away, then come back and try again.
Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.
Try mathsy's suggestion and see if it works.
"The physicists defer only to mathematicians, and the mathematicians defer only to God ..." - Leon M. Lederman
I know whats wrong. If you are using Internet Explorer and your post contains [hide] or [math] tags, you wont be able to delete it. I can think of three solutions for this problem.
Solution 1
First edit your post to remove all [hide] and/or [math] tags. Then you can delete your post.
Solution 2
Switch to Firefox. I can delete posts containing [hide] and/or [math] tags in Firefox, but not in Internet Explorer. If Firefox works for me, I dont see why it shouldnt work for everyone else.
Solution 3
Wait for MathIsFun to fix the problem.
Q: Who wrote the novels Mrs Dalloway and To the Lighthouse?
Very interesting Jane ... I wonder how that all ties in?
Anyway, yes, you could try simply editing your post to be empty (or almost empty) and then try deleting it. See what happens.

The village of Casole d'Elsa and its surrounding landscape is a wealth of stimulation for all lovers of the Tuscan landscape, architecture and way of life and it is the intention of this course to allow the student to explore the many visual opportunities that it has to offer.
Consequently, I will be offering a course that as its title suggests covers a whole range of techniques and media that is specifically designed as to offer the student the possibility of not only exploring their preferred medium of their choice, but also to have the opportunity and encouragement to explore other media or mixed media techniques if they so desire.
In many ways the essence of such an open ended course has its basis on the Workshop concept which caters for all levels of ability, subject interest and media preference – the main difference being that it also has a resident tutor/artist whose main purpose is to assist each individual student to develop their ideas and skills at their particular level.
Introductory demonstrations will be given on various techniques, together with a number of evening presentations on my own work and the work of other artists to complement the practical sessions. Tuition will be on an individual basis and with my encouragement and guidance, I hope that you will leave the Centro with the confidence, skills and enthusiasm to continue your own explorations and to develop your ideas further.
VINCE TUTTON has had a close association with the Centro and the village of Casole d'Elsa since 1986. He is an artist of considerable experience with an equally impressive background in education, ranging from Art College, Adult Education, Community Arts activities and Art Therapy. He was also a Fulbright Scholar at the Miami Dade Community College in Florida, the recipient of Italian Government Scholarships to study in Florence and painting residences at the Foundation Valparaiso in Spain.
Vince is now based on the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall. However, the close personal and professional links both he and his family have with this area brings them back to Casole each summer and this is very evident in his work.
Booking information and enquiries
It will not be necessary to bring the full range of materials listed. During the introductory sessions all materials used (except the more expensive paper and painting boards) will be provided at a small cover charge. Following these workshops you will be expected to use your own materials. You should also bring your own brushes, pencils, eraser, sketch book and palette.
Basic colours recommended- Titanium White or Flake White (quicker drying), Ivory Black, Ultramarine blue, Cobalt Blue, burnt umber, raw umber, burnt sienna, yellow ochre, cadmium yellow, lemon yellow, cadmium red, alizarin crimson, viridian green. N.B. The now alkyd range is an excellent versatile paint, ideal for quick drying needs. It is more subtle/sensitive than acrylics. If using acrylics a GEL RETARDER to slow drying time is most useful.
Chalk pastels: (soft) Rowneys Artists' soft pastels. Assorted boxes available, including "Landscape' range (No. 12L or 36L). You can purchase individual sticks to suit your own colour range.
Oil Pastels. Rowney Craypas - assorted boxes.
Conte Crayon: Black, white, sepia bistre, red sanguine,
The Centre provides basic materials such as gumstrip, chalks, drawing pins, glue size and light drawing paper. We are also equipped with static and portable easels, drawing boards and sketching stools.
We have a small shop where we stock a limited range of paints, several types of cartridge, tinted and watercolour paper, hardboard, canvas, stretchers, primer and fixative.
In the village you can buy turps, white spirit, linseed oil, Kitchen paper etc.
We are equipped with easels, drawing boards, some sketching stools and portable easels. We provide light weight drawing paper, chalk and charcoal.
There are art shops in the neighbouring towns of Colle Val d'Elsa, S.Gimignano and Siena so it is often possible to replenish your supplies during the course.

The Small Business Administration (SBA) has published a proposed rule that would amend its regulations to implement section 825 of the fiscal year 2015 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which authorized contracting officers to award sole source contracts to women-owned small businesses (WOSBs) and economically disadvantaged WOSBs (EDWOSBs) and shortened the time period for SBA to conduct a study to determine the industries in which WOSBs are underrepresented. To that end, SBA proposes to amend 13 CFR part 127 as follows:.Amend 127.101, concerning the type of contracting assistance available under part 127, to include the new sole source authority .Amend 127.102 to change the definitions of the terms "EDWOSB requirement" and "WOSB requirement" to include sole source contracts .Amend 127.500, which concerns the industries in which a contracting officer is authorized to restrict competition under the WOSB program, to address the new sole source authority .Amend 127.503 by adding two new paragraphs to incorporate the statutory language of section 825 granting authority to award sole source contracts to EDWOSBs and WOSBs .Amend 127.507, concerning contracting opportunities at or below the simplified acquisition threshold, to address sole source awards under the WOSB program .Amend 127.600 to include procedures for protests involving sole source contracts to WOSBs and EDWOSBs In addition, to meet the new January 2, 2016, deadline for determining the industries in which WOSBs are underrepresented, SBA also proposes to amend its definitions of "underrepresentation" and "substantial underrepresentation." The change would provide SBA the flexibility necessary to conduct the most reliable and relevant study of WOSB participation in federal contracting would align the definitions more closely with the statutory intent of the 2013 and 2015 NDAA. Comments on the proposed rule are due by June 30, 2015. http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2015-05-01/pdf/2015-10331.pdf

Hi, My name is Erica. I moved to Denver in August 2011 to start graduate school at the University of Denver. I am getting my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. I have absolutely loved working in the Denver community and getting to know it's people. It is a whole different world than South Florida and I find that I have to remind myself to slow down sometimes but that is what I love most about living here. I am originally from Key West so I am just an island girl learning to love the mountains. Im an easy going girl who enjoys good conversation and a glass of wine. You'll find me at a sports game more often than you will find me at the mall, but I won't say I don't enjoy a great pair of shoes. I have high expectations for myself and only dream big when it comes to my future. I want to make a positive impact on as many lives as I can. I enjoy spending time with someone who will support me but not someone who thinks they have to hold my hand and lead the way. (That does not at all mean I don't enjoy me some hand holding!) I am at a point in my life and my career that I am ready to meet someone special to share our exciting journeys together. Submitted from mobile

Office chair.
Renee from Medina, OH – Verified Buyer
The product was shipped promptly-received in 2 days. The leather was a nice quality for the price and the wood trim was unmarked. The chair was easy to put together, with good instructions. No missing parts. The only issue I had was the chair arms-the holes drilled for the screws were not as neat and precisely aligned as those which attached the seat pieces. They were hard to pop into place and hard to tighten (almost as if the screws were slightly stripped). Otherwise the chair was comfortable and I have had no problems since purchased.
OUR SKU # ALR1071Madaris High-Back Leather Executive Chair is also sometimes listed under the following manufacturer numbers: ALEMA41LS10M

Living, Learning and Laughing
I am a passionate southern californian - other places are fun to visit, but this is home. I love what I do for work - it is the culmination of my childhood ambition and keeps getting better. Others would describe me as funny, clever and (insert humble yet laudable quality here....). As to appearance: recent random quotes from others - "you are better looking than your pictures." "Dude, your dad seriously looks like he is thirty years old, tops." I am a Bruin and Trojan (graduate schools) - and worked my way through undergrad, so I know what "real world" working means. Love snowboarding and now cannot wait for snow to start falling - the thin-blooded californio now handles minus-7 degrees with ease at 10k ft elevations. (bundled up to handle -35 of course...) Looking to meeting women for dating - to start. ("dating" defined as social interactions together, with the possibility of more if compatible, attraction, chemistry etc etc.). (update: apparently even saying "dating" dates me as out-of-touch - all the cool people apparently just "hang out".) I enjoy museums, theatre and musical performances and live sporting events. I am a proud USC and UCLA grad school alumni (MBA JD respectively). My daughter is studing opera - so ideal if you can tolerate or better yet love, opera/classical voice. I had 9 years of catholic school, 3rd through 12th grade, FYI. I exercise regularly and maintain a very healthy diet, which means I drink very little alcohol. I have no problem with social drinking, like wine, martini's etc - but I do not need booze as "dutch courage" for socializing. I will only consider dating someone compatible physically and similarly situated (divorced etc or had prior LTR's). ("physical" part is a polite way of saying that, while I like women of all sizes and shapes, I am only romantically interested in the fit ones - those who have "drank the kool-aid" re: fitness, will get this....)
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Museums and art , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Travel/Sightseeing
Skiing, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 5 or more times per week.

Love to snowboard - want to learn surfing. Winter- Colorado, local mountains. Summer - beach.
University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA
Snowboarding, travel, learning about new things. Want to expand horseback riding skills to include english. Food, food, food - exotic is good. Grew up eating Mexican, Japanese and Southern food.
reading, fitness, activities with family friends. I love LA and SoCal - NorCal as well. Want to expand water activities - to try surfing, SUP etc. Son is lifeguard for major beach town during summer break, need to prep before I go out with him.

I cannot believe that I did not mention this all this while. Last year, I won a contest which placed the winning entry on the front page of the freshman level writing textbook, Knowing Words.
Well, since the photograph featured my face, there I am on the cover.
It is interesting to have people around campus tell me that they saw my face on their textbook.
Isn't this awesome?
Take advantage of in-house college contest. They are fun and hey, what do you have to lose?
Have a blessed weekend.

LETTER: Build on change at Roberts site
Jim Evans, Evansville
Build on change at Roberts site
In traveling to work daily on First Avenue. I pass two pleasant sites that make the commute quite pleasurable. Both Bootz Manufacturing and Berry Plastics have done a fine job with their landscaping. It would be my hope (and likely many others) that the city emulate if not improve upon what these fine corporate citizens have accomplished in drawing up plans for the Downtown and Roberts "stadium" parks. Please, no plain flatland ideas. Evansville is flat enough. Also, how about eliminating the Vann Avenue traffic light at the Lloyd Expressway (would need state approval). There will be much less traffic with the demise of the stadium. A frontage road would suffice for businesses between Boeke and Stockwell. Just thinking.

Gotta toot my own horn. When I started my LitLovers website, I'd no idea how it might be used . . . or that readers around the globe would tune in.
A library site in Auckland, New Zealand, uses LitLovers as part of their web 2.0 training exercise—and what a cool site to be listed on. Take a look.
Lots of libraries have training blogs to teach staff how to maneuvre the new world wide web (web 2.0)—which refers to the new level of interactivity on the Net—sites like Del.ic.ious, StumbleUpon, GoodReads, FaceBook, Wikipedia, LibraryThing, and personal blogs.
LitLovers has been used on a number of library training sites in the US, but the New Zealand one is a particularly gratifying! Spend some time on it yourself—we can all learn more about this new web environment.

Occasionally, I get emails from readers troubled by how hard of some of the older works are to read—18th and 19th century novels. I feel their pain.
Great works are rarely easy breezy reads—think Dostoevsky, Melville, Hawthorne, Eliot, Faulkner, James, Conrad. These aren't the authors we lug to the beach. They all write books that are challenging for a host of reasons, not least of which is length. Their books also involve complex language and diction, arcane allusions and metaphors, and heady philosophical issues.
Even authors of a more recent vintage can be tough to tackle—Vladamir Nabokov, Salman Rushdie, Margaret Atwood, Don DeLillo, Thomas Pynchon—especially because of their post-modernist bent...which, among other things, means they constantly undercut their own meaings.
Here's the question: Should book clubs tackle the "great works" of literature? Does doing so make a club more "legitimate"? If so, in whose eyes?
Or is this a non-issue, completely irrelevant to the purpose of our book clubs...and especially to the pleasure we derive from them? Still...it's interesting to ponder.
Questions for Book Clubs:
Wednesday, 18 February 2009 17:56
Do you ever find yourself mourning the end of a book—you finish the last sentence, and it's like saying goodbye to a dear friend?
I'd been reading Richard Ford's The Lay of the Land. By the time I reached the end, I'd become so caught up in Frank Bascombe's mind—his life and his ideas about life—that it was hard to leave him.
Then I turned around to start a new book, and I found it hard. Like making new friends—it required energy and commitment.
Do I even like these people? Do I really want to spend time with them? Do I want to make the effort to learn all about them? Hopefully, we stick with the book, to the point where the story sucks us in—and we beoome engaged once again. Of course...then it's eventually goodbye.
Questions for Book Clubs
1. Which books have been hard ones for you to end—it feels like saying goodbye to dear friends?
2. Which books have you had difficulty getting caught up in? You're not sure you've got the energy or interest to invest in getting to know a new group of people.
Sunday, 08 February 2009 10:53
We're all bibliolatrous when it comes to books—otherwise, you wouldn't be reading this. The question is, how do you love your books—not how much, but in what manner do you love them? For Valentine's Day, I think it appropriate for us to consider the ways.
You're a Courtly Lover if you . . .
♥ Can't bear the thought of using an e-reader (a Kindle)
♥ Use bookmarks; never leave an open book face down
♥ Never write on or dog-ear the pages
♥ Hate having to part with old books, even ones you dislike
♥ Always remove the dust jacket while reading
♥ Never read while eating
♥ Never read in the tub or at the beach (especially with a
♥ Adore the smell and sound of opening a brand new book.
For you "a book's physical self is sacrosanct . . . its form inseparable from its content." Your duty as a Platonic lover "is a noble but doomed attempt to conserve forever the state of perfect chastity in which the book left the bookseller."
You're a Carnal Lover if you . . .
♥ Love using an e-reader (a Kindle)
♥ Leave the book splayed—even knowing it damages the spine
♥ Write, circle underline, or dog-ear the pages
♥ Pass on old books with eagerness
♥ Use the dust jacket's flap as a bookmark
♥ Love to read while you eat, bathe, or go to the beach
♥ Use books for doorjams, paperweights, drink coasters, or
♥ Love used books because others have enjoyed what you're
For you "a book's words are holy, but the paper, cloth, cardboard, glue, thread, and ink that contain them are merely vessels." You feel no remorse in treating them wantonly because "hard use is a not a sign of disrespect but of intimacy."
Here are the two extremes. Thanks to Anne Fadiman's delightful book, Confessions of a Common Reader, for these two distinctions. Fadiman talks about her father, who when traveling would rip out pages he'd already read and toss them into the trash—it lightened his load—obviously a carnal lover. At the other end of the spectrum is a friend of hers who buys two books, one to read . . . and the other to preserve in its pristine state on the bookshelf—courtly to the max.
A fun book club discussion: which type of lover are you?
Tuesday, 03 February 2009 11:01
Too young to die. John Updike was only 76 and, many suspect, still taking copious notes as he drew his last breath in hospice care in Massachusetts on January 27.
His lifelong output was astonishing, not just in number but genre: novels, short stories, verse, essays, and criticism. On subject matter, he was equally wide-ranging, moving from literature and art to favorite subjects like golf and baseball.
Considered America's preeminent recorder of the middle class, he gave "the mundane its beautiful hue," as he himself put it. Some critics believe his sentences—lyrical things of beauty in themselves—lack the heft to carry ideas, but others feel his writing is a polished reflection of the world.
Critics find themselves hardpressed to pinpoint a single masterpiece, but most mention the Rabbit Tetrology (from 1960-90)—Rabbit, Run; Rabbit Redux; Rabbit is Rich; Rabbit at Rest—chronicling the life of fictional Harry Angstrong.
Other favorites include Couples, The Coup, The Witches of Eastwick and, recently, the Widows of Eastwick. But that short list doesn't begin to cover the body of his work. My advice—get hold of an obituary in a major newspaper or national news magazine, where his oeuvre will be covered in depth.

What book changed your life?
Paranoid me, but I always see that question as a trap. It means you're about to be judged on your literary taste, so you'd better come up with an obscure but Significant Work of Literature—like a poem by Rilke (quick, what's his full name?). But all I ever come up with is Nancy Drew.
Nancy. She had great clothes. She had a blue roadster ... great pals ... a boyfriend ... a doting father ... and a surrogate mother in Hannah-the-housekeeper. Best of all, she had an unlimited supply of pocket change—which allowed her freedom and adventure. She was 18, I was 10 or 11, and I adored and envied her.
Obviously, I didn't become a detective. But after devouring every book in the series, I did become a Reader. When at 13, my friend Mary Phelan Turner got me to read all 1,000+ pages of Gone With the Wind, I was hooked on books—reading became my drug of choice.
Something fun for a book club meeting:
Monday, 05 January 2009 12:13
Do book clubs ruin that mysterious quality inherent in the act of reading—being transported to another world?
A New York Times writer says she envies her 11-year-old daughter's ability to melt into whatever story she's reading. The author, an analytical reader, says she longs for her girlhood when she could completely lose herself in the magic of a book.
I am not sure when or exactly how I started merely reading books instead of living in them…. But I suppose…the byproduct of growing up is that I formed too many opinions of my own to be able to give in wholeheartedly to the prospect of living inside someone else's universe.
—"I Wish I Could Read Like a Girl," Michelle Slatalla, New York Times, 1/1/09
By "merely reading," I think Slatalla means reading with critical awareness rather than pure enchantment. But for me reading and thinking are synonomous. Opinions, life experiences, and achieved wisdom end up enriching the reading experience.
That may not be true for everyone. And then again, there are plenty of times I like to "just read" without doing the heavy lifting.

Grafitti was found Tuesday morning on the exterior of two buildings at Union High School, 6201 N.W. Friberg St., Camas.
Through watching surveillance camera footage, school officials determined that the vandals struck at 11:15 p.m. last night said Kris Fay, spokesman for Evergreen Public Schools. Maintenance workers cleaned up the graffiti, which included a pentagram, the numbers "666" and the words "God is dead" and "Satan lives."

Regarding Hogan not wanting to wear a number, the announcer was right. I am a 1/2 century PGA pro and in 1946 I caddied for Ben Hogan during the All American Open at Tam O'Shanter CC, Niles, IL.. I earned the honor of caddying for him again in the same tournament in 1947, but because George May insisted that all players wear numbers on their back, Mr. Hogan did not show up. I was devastated. They held the World's Championship at Tam O'Shanter three months later and the caddy master assigned me to Mr. Hogan. He won the tournament. I thought you might find this bit of trivia interesting.

Historian Gambrell dies
On this day in 1982, Herbert P. Gambrell died. This native of Tyler, Texas, was the first managing editor of Southwest Review. In 1932 he co-wrote his first book with Lewis W. Newton, A Social and Political History of Texas. His book Mirabeau Buonaparte Lamar: Troubadour and Crusader (1934) foreshadowed his doctoral dissertation at the University of Texas, which was published as Anson Jones: The Last President of Texas in 1948. This book, which J. Frank Dobie called "high art," made the New York Times best-seller list. Gambrell was director of historical exhibits for the Texas Centennial Exposition in 1936 and the Pan American Exposition the following year. He was instrumental in the founding of the Texas Institute of Letters and the museum of the Dallas Historical Society. His last book, A Pictorial History of Texas (1960), a joint venture with his wife, received the Award of Merit from the American Association for State and Local History. Gambrell taught that "only an autocratic government can afford to have historically ignorant citizens; it is a luxury we cannot afford."
