Re "The Station" fire that killed 100, Feb 20 '03, 11:05 PM in Warwick, RI
Barbara Finch sent:
>Working on the charts for the event, I found a fixed star
rising the morning of the fire and Bernadette Brady answered a few questions
for me. Seems this star rises for only two mornings out of the year, Menkar.
I also don't know anything about fixed stars (how else may I show
my ignorance in this post?) :^)))) but does Menkar indicate something
in particular?
Menkar may have been rising in the morning (do you mean rising heliacally?), but it was setting at the fire itself. When the fire
began Rijl al Awwa, Mu Virginis, was rising (I ran it on Bernadette's Starlight Program), and Menkar was setting.
They form a harsh axis! (Asc-Dsc at 11:05, official time of fire, 9 Scorp-Taur 24)
Rising at event:
Nusakan Beta Coronae Borealis Crown 9SC07 46 03 29 06 15 28 3.68 F0 p
Omega Centauri cluster in horse's back 9SC46 -35 14 -47 29 13 27 3.65 F7 GC
"Biggest and brightest globular cluster in the sky"
Rijl al Awwa Mu Virginis Virgin's rt foot 10SC08 9 40 - 5 40 14 43 3.88 F3 IV
with Delta Librae, 15 Scorpio, Mulu-izi, "Man of Fire" in ancient Akkad
Mu1 Crucis just E of top star in Cross 10SC37 -46 04 -57 11 12 55 4.03 B3 IV
Also here: 109 Virginis (8831) in hem of Virgin's gown, Pi Hydrae (8847) in Water-Snake's tail, Theta1 Crucis (8847) SW of Southern Cross, y Centauri (9817) in the Centaur's head, Theta Coronae Borealis (9827) in the Northern Crown and Gamma2 Volantis (9853) in the modern figure of Volans, the Flying Fish. This set runs from 8826 to 10846.
This is the fire section::
Mu Virginis was the Akkadian Mulu-izi, "Man of Fire" and the Sun is here each year at Samhain, the eve of the Celtic New Year, which later became All Hallow's Eve (Halloween) when souls of the dead were thought to revisit the earth, and huge bonfires were lit to frighten away evil spirits. This was the Sun at the 1970 St Laurent du Pont, France dance hall fire where 144 died because exits were blocked, the Moon at the great New York City fire of December, 1835 in lower Manhattan's financial district: below 0º F temperature froze hydrants, and all efforts were to no avail: 650 buildings were destroyed; the $22 million damage bankrupted insurance companies, contributing to the great depression of 1837; this was also the Moon at the Harrison, NY Stauffer's Inn flash fire in 1980 that killed 26, Mercury and Neptune at the Amude, Syria movie theatre explosion and fire in 1960 that killed 150 children, Venus at the Brooklyn Theatre fire of 1876 that killed 295, Jupiter in 1993 when 29 horses were killed in a Manorville, NY barn fire, Saturn at a major London fire in 1748, Neptune in 1960 when a huge experimental ICBM rocket missile being readied for a test exploded and burned at Baikonur Cosmodrome, USSR, killing about 100, many of them major scientists, leaving a "tremendous" scorched area, Pluto at the explosions and fire at the Dumont Plaza Hotel, San Juan, PR in 1986 that killed 95 (set by a disgruntled employee), Pluto again at the 1987 Manchurian "Great Black Dragon Fire," started accidentally by a worker spilling gasoline – "possibly the worst forest fire in 300 years" that destroyed prime timber stands in vast stretches of China and the Soviet Union, and in August 1988 when a 10-hour fire destroyed Lisbon's Chiado shopping district, and 3 days later at the Ramstein, Germany Air Show disaster when planes in a flight team collided and crashed in flames, parts hitting spectators: 70 were killed, 500 injured.
I will add the "The Station" fire.
Here's Menkar from my Workbook (note the Andromeda star here - Andromeda, the Chained Woman, is associated with entrapment) (position is 1980; for 2003 add 19 minutes)
Almach Gamma Andromedae left foot 13TA57 27 48 42 14 2 03 2.18 K2 III
Menkar Alpha Ceti Sea-Monster's jaw 14TA02 -12 35 4 0l 3 01 2.53 M3 III
Leadership, figureheads; luck, but after much hard work. Great multiplicity of talents, abilities; life runs on several rails at once, seems a constant battlefield. Creativity, writing, performing potential, though undeveloped if will remains unfocussed, or if person blames others for troubles. May be "exiled" by force or necessity or encounter sorrows, difficulties, frustrations, misfortunes, with difficult family conditions, lack of domestic harmony, or even loss of identity, home in early life. Possible loss of fortune, or inheritance brings misfortune with it. Suffer from anxiety, false accusations, disgrace, ruin, (for farmers, loss of crops), and/or severe health problems, accidents to the head, epilepsy, throat diseases, larynx problems, blindness, suffocation, danger from animals, possible violent death. The heart, will, and endurance of these people are challenged to the utmost, forging strength, perseverance, determination. Only if dishonesty, selfishness and immorality are avoided with great determination do the tests of this star have positive results. Good for military, medicine, healing, sports, art, theater, music. Major issue in these lives of religious faith vs atheism, skepticism. Murder, assassination, violent explosions, fires, shipwreck, drowning, medical events, fog/smog, meteorite falls; sieges, blockages, standstills, entrapment; danger from animals
(in this same 14 Taurus set is 16 Cephei in Cepheus, the King - the ancients called him "inflammatus"!)
When you look at the chart superficially, it doesn't look so bad, but Jupiter (planet of overconfidence and carelessness) was just past culmination, and besides opposing a very tight Mercury-Neptune conjunction (11 Aquar 17, 11 Aqare 27), all 3 of them on Neptune's Nodes, it was at a pair of binary, supermassive black holes! The entire set (Jupiter-Mercury-Neptune-Nodes of Neptune) were square the Asc-Desc, that is, when the Asc-Dsc axis squared that deadly conjunction-opposition the place went up in flame.
Jupiter (10 Leo 42 rx):
Blazar OJ 287 Cancri in Crab's head 10LE33 2 36 20 36 8 55 14.0v QSO/BH
Blazars (quasars visible at gamma ray energies) carry the most luminous, violent active galactic nuclei, emitting radiation
across the entire electromagnetic spectrum: OJ 287 is thought to consist of binary, supermassive black holes.
Love, Diana
PS: a thought: the band's name was "Great White" - as in Great White Whale? Menkar is Alpha Ceti in the Sea-Monster or Whale!

Well I of course haven't pulled the plug from the wall. But erratic doesn't really explain why it restarts when I walked passed it. if it was a power issue, the board is set to keep the computer off in the event of an AC failure. Also, the second computer is plugged into the same outlet and is not having any issues.
But come to think of it, one day I came home and the breaker for that plug was mysteriously tripped. If it happened again (Which it hasn't) I was going to replace the breaker.

I may release a few 0.49-1, 0.49-2 releases before 0.50 to ensure that 0.50 is a rock. YAML.rb is a data serialization language that is simple to learn and very readable. If you want a good taste of what YAML syntax looks like, try the Cookbook [http://yaml4r.sf.net/cookbook/]. As promised [see http://www.ruby-talk.org/55669], the tokenizer and preprocessor have been rewritten. We're getting speedier all the time. --! YAML.rb USERS PLEASE NOTE !-- This release is current with the spec and includes a number of changes that will appear in the next version of the spec. These changes may cause some of your YAML to load differently or not at all. Here's what you need to know: - The directive indicator is now '%' rather than '#'. The '#' character is being used exclusively for comments now. --- #YAML:1.0 !!software name: yaml.rb version: 0.49 url: http://yaml4r.sf.net/ The above document will parse the directive as a comment. In fact, the whole line will be taken as a comment, neglecting your private type transfer. The above document will be loaded as a ruby Hash. --- %YAML:1.0 !!software name: yaml.rb version: 0.49 url: http://yaml4r.sf.net/ The above document will be loaded correctly. You'll receive a typed 'software' hash. - Dashes are now counted as indentation. The following document is illegal: - test: 1 The mapping and sequence share the same level of indentation above. To fix this problem, indent the mapping another space. - test: 1 This change was made to enforce better readability and to accomodate the new seq-in-map shortcut: test: - 1 - Nils can now be represented by an empty value. --- %YAML:1.0 testing: The above will be loaded as: { 'testing' => nil } - The YAML::Pairs ( '!ruby/pairs' ) type has been renamed to YAML::FlexHash ( '!ruby/flexhash' ). This change prevents confusion with the new YAML builtin collection '!pairs'. The HTML, CHM, and PDF documents have been updated for 0.49 and can be found on the YAML.rb site [http://yaml4r.sf.net/]. _why

color is much darker than photo
This is the second wig I have purchased from Vogue. The color is much darker than portrayed in the photo. Also the wig has "flaps" on the side (in front of your ears) - doesn't fit well with the rest of the wig (nor does it look like the photo) - I tucked them in and it worked much better.
|Overall Rating
Perfect for late 18th-century costumes
Used the honey blonde wig for an opera outreach event, and it was easy to wear for 7 hours.
Easy to loosen curls to soften the look, pad the inside (hurrah for bubble wrap) to support a hat, and manipulate the wig. Entirely possible to take care of the gap at the base of the neck with little effort--I didn't notice that the hat's weight caused a
|Overall Rating
Good and Bad
While I love the style and design of the wig, I ordered it is WHITE instead of blonde. Be aware that "white" in this case is really a creamy vanilla color - not white, but rather a light blonde. Because I needed white specifically, I was very disappointed in the color once I got it. However, because it was for a show run that I needed immediately, I used it. It's fine, but white would have been 100% better.

Reload the page and try again.
Overall Experience:
The classes I'm taking are really interesting. I like the size of the school, and the people in the school. I'm worried about the post-graduation my school offers. The tuition is really expensive too, so I'm trying to find ways to pay it.
Overall Experience:
I've made some great friends and Hampden-Sydney was definitely the best decision for me.
Off-Campus Housing:
From what I can see off-campus housing is not the best option. Most people live on campus. Since people drink a lot here off campus housing is generally not the best idea.
Off-Campus Dining:
There is no variety. You're pretty much stuck with the Fishin' Pig, Shogun, Cook-Out, Bojangles, and a few Mexican places in town.
Party Scene:
The party scene here is decent if you like to drink a lot. There aren't usually that many girls, but you can find some if you really look. Overall it's not too shabby and the parties are usually pretty big for a school of this size.
The administration here is strict on random things. For example if you are caught drinking underage or smoking pot no one really cares all that much, but if you break the honor code at all and get caught you're screwed.
Hampden-Sydney is very generous with its merit based financial-aid, but from what I hear they are not so generous with need-based aid.
Campus Food:
There have been cases of under cooked food being served. Earlier this year there was an outbreak of norovirus, which is food borne, that cause a third of the student body to get sick, and school had to close for three days.
Campus Housing:
The housing here is pretty awful overall unless you can manage to get a really good dorm when you're an upperclassman. Freshman housing is pretty bad overall. It's very cramped generally.
Overall Experience:
Everyone here is friendly and accepting to your hobbies so its wonderful
Overall Experience:
I hated it so much when i first got here because i wanted to transfer but now i love it here and intend to stay all 4 years.
Campus Quality:
Gorgeous campus with tons of cool people, nice facilities, beautiful architecture, and friendly people.
Guys & Girls:
Good ratio at most parties
Absolutely love all of my professors. They really care about their students and are experts in their field.
Admissions and President have been working studiously in recent years to increase diversity on campus. Far more ethnically diverse and friendly than some would have you believe.
Campus Food:
Dining hall is terrible, Tiger Inn is good but overpriced, and Coffee Shop is extremely limited in options and kinda pricey.
Scholarships are the foundation of being able to attend this school. Only two or three students here are actually paying the full tuition.
Health & Safety:
Secure campus populated by brothers who care about each other, however campus is not closed and is open to townies at any time of day, and facilities are usually left unlocked. However, police presence and student activism to fight serious crime is enough to warrant a four-star rating.
Very limited field of possible majors, and even fewer minors. Graduate school is almost required nowadays to get a decent job, so it's okay I guess. You don't have to declare a major until second semester of Sophomore year, which leaves you with plenty of time to explore the liberal arts education.
Science programs are hard as hell at this school, though the degree is by far worth more than most nowadays, as graduates from this school are so few and far between, with a large amount of people cracking and dropping out before they reach sophomore year. Honestly, it seems like it gets far easier after freshman year.
Party Scene:
Usually good parties with good ratio of guys/girls. Most fraternities tend to run out of alcohol fairly quickly though, which can be discouraging to party-goers. Fraternity Circle is the only real place to go for parties though, unless you know people at Longwood or Sweet Briar. The Circle is usually vibrant on weekends, though dead weekends do happen on occasion.
Local Area:
Farmville is a great town, though we do have to share it with Longwood kids, who are annoying, cargo-short wearing dickheads. We end up taking most of their females though, which is awesome.
Greek Life:
Love the fraternities on campus! Awesome parties most weekends; occasional dead weekends. Parties are always happening on football weekends, and Greek Life plays a huge role in the tailgates.
Campus Housing:
Not terrible, could be better though.
Campus Quality:
Facilities are great because of the tradition shared on campus. Athletic centers are very impressive with great awards won by sports teams. Our library ranks number four in the nation. Library offers free copies and even renting laptops. There are many sources available in the library.

Comments about Ethafoam Blocks:
I was able to easily pack fossils for shipping from my lab. I could cut to size and shape around the fossil. Best of all came when I was cleaning up. The small pieces were very easy to pick up. These pieces were affordable and easy to handle

Comments about Ethafoam Blocks:
I bought a block of 1" ethafoam to line a small hardcase bag to make a range bag for my pistols and ammo. The ethafoam was easy to cut to the shape of my pistols and with a little imagination, it was exactly what I needed to form pockets to hold the pistols safely in place. It's sturdy yet slightly flexible and I'd recommend it to anyone.
The ethafoam was delivered as promised. I'll use NRS again for further purchases.

Comments about Ethafoam Blocks:
Used these 12 inch wide and 56 inch long by 2 inch think planks to replace the inflatable floor of my Tributary Tomcat inflatable kayak. Two layers thick. Had to trim the ends to fit the shape of the zipper pocket. Haven't paddled it yet, but if this works out, will save me a considerable amount of money to replace the original floor. I love AIRE products, but wanted to try and fix my leaky original floor with something different. I'm optimistic at this point. Just needs to warm up a bit and I'll see how it does around the hole at Boxcar on the N. Fork of the French Broad. And a BIG THANKS to NRS for NOT folding these planks in half for shipping...

- Bobbin Lace Pillow
Comments about Ethafoam Blocks:
I love the lightweight-ness of the product. For making a cookie pillow, you would have to somehow join widths together to get it wide enough. I'm sure it's doable, I just haven't had time to figure out how to join and then trim while keeping the integrity of the join. Word of warning, though. Recommend white for bobbin lace purposes as the material will sometimes pull out with the pin and black will show up in your work.

Q:What glue should I use to adhere the pads to an aluminum dry box?Asked on 6/23/2015 by Blue Devil from Valdez, AK

I used it for gluing to an aluminum shotgun case (to store a Korg synthesizer), YMMV.

A:H2 Glue will work to adhere foam to your dry box.Answered on 6/24/2015 by Kyle from NRS
A:You can use regular contact cement, shore glue (hypalon boat glue), 3m
spray glue ( will work but will fall off prematurely).
Regular contact cement works great and the foam will split before the glue
ever comes apart. You "must" prep both sides correctly if you want it to
last. Lightly sand the drybox to give the glue something to stick to, and
put two thin coats on the foam letting each layer dry completely to seal
the holes and make a good glue surface, The box side should have one (or
2) thin coats and let compleatly dry. So afgter that there is still one
more coat to do on each. The last coat on each should be tacky to the
touch but not wet and then stick together starting from one side or a
corner. Once the two touch they are permanent so make sure it is straight
and square. Make sure you firmly press the whole thing down and go around
the perimeter and push the two together any place you see glue with your
thumb on the lower side where they connect. That should last for years.

Q:I need to replace the foam padding on the crossbars of my canoe trailer with something more durable. Is Ethafoam durable enough or should I look at something like minicell?
Thanks.Asked on 7/12/2014 by Mudpuppy from PA

A:I used it for inside padding for a Korg synthesizer, but had a piece outside on my deck for two years protecting my deck from some propane cylinders (don't ask).
Rain, UV light, heat, cold. It's held up well enough that I finally used it for another project.
I think this would work for you.
NBAnswered on 7/12/2014 by Anonymous
A:Not sure about that. I'm wondering if you want to use a thinner foam and cover with carpet for toughness.

Q:I would like to use it on my dinghy (outside, contact with water) to increase stability to replace the traditional air tubes that are bulky and prom to deflate. Any comments? Can I use screws with large washers to fasten to the dinghy? Thanks for any help.Asked on 7/7/2013 by PR
3 answers
A:Sorry, can't help you.
I bought this material for lining a shotgun case I turned into a carrying case for a sythesizer/keyboard.
If it DOES help, I've had a scrap piece outside on my deck for most of a year for soundproofing a 1200 watt generator (we get frequent power outages here just outside DC) and it's held up well without fading, deteriorating.
I suspect you could use some bronze or stainless screws/washers and the material would hold to your dingy really well.

A:It is a closed cell foam, but will absorb some water over time. I can't say how long it will give you good service continually submerged in water.Answered on 7/7/2013 by Clyde from NRS
A:Good Morning,
I used it to make an extension for the seats in my canoe since they were already made from the same type of foam. The whole canoe is also lined with the same foam. I used large fender washers with bolts and H2 glue. Haven't had any problems yet. I would think it would work fine for what you are asking. I am very pleased with the final result. It does seem like a high quality product.
Good luck,Answered on 7/8/2013 by Anonymous

About the Area: Pedregal - Pacific
The Pedregal is the �Beverly Hills� of private residential gated communities in Cabo San Lucas. Despite 30 years of steady growth, the Mediterranean-inspired community still manages to hold onto its Old World atmosphere while simultaneously embracing the new. Built into a magnificent granite hillside surrounded by exotic desert vegetation, the area�s 360 acres feature sweeping panoramic views over either Cabo San Lucas Bay or the Pacific. With cobblestone streets, fine restaurants and numerous recreational options, the emphasis is on privacy and a casual, tropical lifestyle. Exquisite showpiece homes abound. Excellent swimming is available at M�dano Beach, less than a mile away. The Pedregal is an oasis of exclusivity just steps to all the action of downtown and the marina. The Pacific side of the Pedregal offers stunning ocean views, with whale watching right from the terrace of your luxurious private villa. The beautiful stretch of beach along the Pacific is perfect for sunbathing and beachcombing. Big Pacific waves make this beach unsuitable for swimming.

Only one week left of school, and the girls and I are looking at books to read over the summer. What was your favorite book when you were eight? When you were twelve? What books had an impact on you at those ages? What books do you think "shouldn't be missed?"
My favorite book at around age 12 was Nathaniel Hawthorne's Tanglewood Tales, a children's rendition of some classic Greek myths.
Years later, I found a bedraggled copy of it in a thrift store for my own daughter (who was younger than 12 at the time) that she let lie around in her bedroom for forever. She was turned off by the dated-looking cover.
When she finally did get around to reading it, she loved it and proceeded to gobble up every book on my own adult bookshelf related to mythology.
She also went on to take Mythology as a high school freshman (where she expanded her interest to Roman and Norse mythology), four years of Latin in high school (where she became the team expert in mythology and Things Classic on the Scholars' Bowl team), and two more years of Latin in college (where she tinkered with the idea of majoring in classics).
The book made a lasting impression on her.
Oh, and any young woman from Tennessee must read Wilma Dykeman's The Tall Woman.
Any young person of either gender in Tennessee/North Carolina must read Forrest Carter's The Education of Little Tree, which mixes regional history with touching drama with wild hilarity.
(We made a weekend trip to Cherokee to see Unto These Hills one summer and took along Little Tree in cassette tape format to listen to in the car. When it wasn't quite over by the time we completed our drive, my husband, mesmerized, insisted we sit in the car to listen to it to the end.)
And Richard Peck's A Year Down Yonder, a Newbery Award winner set in post-Depression years with many of the attributes of Little Tree, including the hilarity.
About any Newbery winner and/or Newbery "honor book," an esteemed award extended to children's literature, is a sure-fire bet, really.
Here is a list of Newbery winners dating back to inception of the award in 1922.
More about Little Tree: I loaned Kenny a copy one summer, telling him I had bought and given away more copies of that book than any I'd ever read. I'd gotten to where anytime I'd see it for sale in a store, I'd just buy another copy, knowing I wouldn't own it for long.
Sure enough, he finished it and gave it away, replacing my copy shortly thereafter.
I think he'd give the title a big amen, too.
Little house in the prairie series
Lemony snickett works
Hardy boys series
Foxfire series
Isaac Asimov - foundation series
J Latimer nature guides (really for both ages)
My above recommendations were really geared toward a 12 year-old.
For an 8 year-old, two series featuring kids who've stumbled upon ways to Time Travel are The Time Warp Trio series (8 or 10 titles) and The Magic Tree House series (close to 40 titles now).
Both series are adventure fiction, but work considerable history into their content.
Mike, I never got my daughter interested in the Little House books, but surprisingly my son loved them. Around third grade, he was keenly interested in learning about things like raising log cabins, digging wells and making one's own bullets?! We read them together and when I tried to turn a page, he'd say "wait," then stare holes through Garth Williams' drawings interspersed through the volumes. Touching to recall, on this the last day of my last child's high school experience...
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith
This is an old coming of age story that I read some time in my early to mid teens. It might be too dated for readers today. I begged my daughter to read it in her teens but she wouldn't touch it. I don't even remember what it was about as much as the feeling of complete and total engagement I had when I read it.
The Forgotten Beasts of Eld is a wonderful fantasy story about animals your 12-yr old might like. And the Shel Silverstein poetry books like "Where The Sidewalk Ends" were favorites in this household.
Any of E.B. White's books for
Any of E.B. White's books for children.
I second the
I second The Magic Treehouse series and the Junie B. Jones series for your 8-yr old if she hasn't outgrown them. Junie B. Jones is a hilarious but lovable character. I grew up on the Bobbsey Twins and The Happy Hollisters (dating myself here) who were too perfect for words and totally unrealistic.
They might not be for every kid,, but I thought my son might be reading disabled until he discovered The Animorph series in 3rd grade. He's been a voracious reader ever since.
Aesop's Fables offers terrific two-page bedtime-stories-with-a-moral for that 8 year-old. Dolly Parton included it in her Imagination Library offerings, you may know.
And speaking of her Imagination Library offerings, McKay's Used Books became so inundated with those titles, they now sell for just five cents each (!) at that store, even the hardbound editions.
Dolly first distributed hardbound editions indistinguishable from volumes you'd find in a book store, then she began distributing hardbound books emblazoned with her Imagination Library emblem on the front cover, and now has begun distributing just paperbacks bearing that emblem on the cover.
I picked through hardbound copies available at McKay's (they're gathered together in a single bookcase or two down there) to select just her earliest hardbound offerings with none of those Imagination Library emblems on their covers.
At a nickel apiece, I bought around fifty of them, very handsome and durable, for about $2.50 total! What a steal! I love having them around for any very young guests!
(Several of the titles she distributes are Caldecott winners, too, which you may know is the award bestowed for extraordinary illustration in children's lit. Here is a list of those winners, dating to 1938.)
Any history by Richard Davis (author of Don't Know Much About History).
Any science by Seymour Simon.
Any Scholastic biographies.
Any of these runs about 75 cents each at McKay's (and found not in the children's section, but in the sections with adult books on the same topics, separated on a single shelf labeled "Young Adult History," "Young Adult Science," and "Young Adult Biography.")
Cheaper still is Goodwill at four for a dollar or Community Chest at ten for a dollar. You'll be amazed at the pristine condition of many children's paperbacks you'll find there. My kids always had hundreds of books in their bedrooms this way. And I bought and gave away hundreds, or probably thousands, to their classrooms and schools over the years.
If you gotta have new, check out Scholastic's Book Fair Warehouse in Alcoa. Looks like they have a big sale going on May 9 through May 23. In years past, they priced recent and shiny-new paperback titles at just 50 cents each, relative to the $5.00 prices the same titles fetched at their school-level book fairs. Used to go all the time.
I do recommend reading The
I do recommend reading The Education of Little Tree but do so before reading about its author, Forrest Carter.
At the very top of my list would be The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein. If you aren't a dog lover when you begin reading about Enzo, you soon will be.
And don't miss Rocket Boys by Homer Hickam. Read the book, re-watch the movie (October Skies), then visit Oliver Springs to see some of the movie settings.
Jack Neely's Knoxville: This Obscure Prismatic City is an expansion of his Secret History columns and a good way to learn more about Our Fair City.
When I was in the 6th grade we were assigned to read Miss Minerva and William Green Hill by Frances Boyd Calhoun. I found a freebie of it at Project Gutenberg a few years ago but it's somehow not the same. Perhaps that's because our beloved teacher, Mrs. Arah Franzenberg, read portions of the book to us after lunch every day because it was one of her favorites.
In my early teens, my head was frequently in prized subscriptions to TRAINS and Model Railroader Magazines or the adventure books of Clarence Young. I'm unhappy to report that I read a few chapters of The Motor Boys in the Clouds the other day and the thrill is definitely gone.
There's Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Avonlea by Lucy Maude Montgomery, although Anne is so bubbly and perky, she has to be on something.
The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come by John Fox Jr. was a favorite of my mother when she was a child so, of course, I was expected to read (and love) it. In her flea market hopping later years, she found a first edition for 50¢. It's here as a freebie at Project Gutenberg and is a pretty good read.
I'm ashamed to say that I only read enough of Great Expectations to do the required report in high school but I did read it in its entirety a few yeas ago and I loved it. Treasure Island and Robinson Crusoe got the same treatment with the same results. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World is a treat too, and I have downloaded the eight books in the "Barsoom Series" by Edgar Rice Burroughs that Carl Sagan was so fond of when he was a boy. Haven't read any of them as yet but there's plenty of time for that. Speaking of Carl Sagan, there is, of course, Cosmos.
The Time Machine by H. G. Wells
I have many more equally boring suggestions but I gotta go now. If Lulu doesn't get her scrambled eggs RIGHT NOW, she's gonna either starve and fall over or she's gonna fire the entire staff.
As a side note, HuffPo has published this humorous collection of negative Amazon reviews of classic reads.
(in reply to redmondkr)
I was so shocked to learn about Forrest Carter's political leanings (from you, Kenny) after having bought and given away so very many copies of Little Tree. I promise, Amy, there is nary a hint of any of that in the book. If ever you duck into one of the several Welcome Centers in the Smoky Mountains National Park, you're sure to see it displayed for sale there, along with Dykeman's The Tall Woman.
And yes Kenny, that 12 year-old is probably old enough now to begin packing in her purse one of those One Hundred Greatest Novels of All Time lists, as I did for decades and as my daughter still does. Here is one such list, from Time magazine.
(Parental Guidance Suggested, maybe. I note The Great Gatsby on Time's list, which my daughter read at about that age. However, when I tried to donate it to her middle school, they rejected it due to Gatsby's and Daisy's extramarital affair being central to the plot. Your call, then.)
What is this madness!
Everywhere I go this morning on the Intarwebs, I run into somebody asking me what I remember about favorite children's books (and this one mentions Anne of Green Gables).
Knox County Public Library programs for teens
Also, Amy, my daughter served on what was then called the KCPL's Teen Advisory Group when she was in middle school. I don't see at their site's Teen Central tab that it's still around, but maybe something comparable is?
She also participated in the library's summer-long project to have researched and produced that documentary film on the history of Market Square Mall, if you remember it. West High teacher David Drew led the group and he was a jewel. The kids even hosted a premiere of their film at the East Tennessee History Center on Gay Street.
Lots of cool stuff still happening at the library for teens, it appears.
I can't remember at what age
I can't remember at what age I read these books (I suspect more 8 than 12), but if your girls haven't read them they should. I still remember the joy or reading them all these years later (and have been known to reread them).
Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass (of course)
The Princess and the Goblin, George MacDonald
Wind in the Willows
Definitely the Anne of Green Gables series (there must be 5 or 6 of 'em)
Frank Baum's Oz books
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
For the 12-year-old: National Velvet
A Wrinkle in Time, Madeline L'Engle (and its two sequels)
Josephine Tey's The Daughter of Time, which combines history with a detective story.
Hobbit for sure. Lord of the Rings?
I have a bunch of these; let me know if you want to borrow.
Fannie Flagg's A Redbird
Fannie Flagg's A Redbird Christmas - a delightful tale of the deep south.
Full Many a Flower by Ruby
Full Many a Flower by Ruby Dayton. Ruby is a friend and neighbor who was the best-selling watercolor artist at the 1982 World's Fair. In this autobiographical fiction she tells of her childhood as a sharecropper's daughter and her struggle to get an education. She lives at 'Turtle Creek' near the railroad crossing in the Ball Camp Community. I've had a paperback for years but just discovered (and downloaded) the Kindle edition.
Amazon has a bunch of Fannie
Amazon has a bunch of Fannie Flaggs. I've read Tomatoes and highly recommend it. I also have an ebook copy of Daisy Fay and the Miracle Man but I haven't read it as yet.
This is Ruby's Turtle Creek Studio
Favorite Books
At 8, "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe".
At 12, John Christopher's Tripods trilogy, "The White Mountains", "The City of Gold and Lead", and "The Pool of Fire". That series and the original Star Trek made me a life-long science fiction fan.
