When it comes to bread, many bakers have a few recipes for breads that are good and reliable. Biscuits and cornbread are among the most popular in the south, though yeast-leavened breads have their place in many homes, also. There are cooks that can turn out the best bread there is, and there are some that insist they can't make good bread.
If you find yourself in the rut of making the same breads over and over, and would like to try something new and different, I have some suggestions. In this column, I'll be passing along some recipes for some breads that are easy to make and a bit different. And they all rely on a packaged mix! First, A recipe for "Sesame Seed Rolls". This is a bread that is very easy assembled and make a good dinner bread. It's also a good roll recipe for someone new to bread baking. This one also uses packaged biscuit mix, so that makes it even easier.
Then, a recipe for "Cheese Sausage Biscuits", which is a variation of the favorite "Sausage Ball" recipe we see at the holidays and parties. This one gets it cheese flavor from a can of Cheddar Cheese Soup! It also uses biscuit mix and this is one to remember when you're serving hot soup this winter as it accompanies it very well.
For a dessert bread, here's one for "Poppy Seed Bread". This has instant coconut pudding to add to the taste and texture of the bread, so it's definitely different, yet a great bread served warm. The butter pecan cake mix gives this bread an interesting flavor all it's own!
Sometime back, I shared a recipe for "Southern Spoonbread", which is a bread that doesn't use a mix, but it's one that you literally eat with a spoon. A very interesting recipe and here's the link to get the recipe:
If you're "breaking bread" with your family and friends, get out a packaged mix and try some different bread recipes!
- 1 Tbls. Sesame Seeds
- 1 Egg
- 1-1/2 C. Milk
- 3-3/4 C. Biscuit Mix (such as Bisquick)
- 1 C. Shredded Cheddar Cheese (4 ounces)
- 1 Tbls. Dry Parsley
Preheat oven to 350 degrees; grease a shallow 2 qt. casserole dish and sprinkle with sesame seeds evenly over the bottom and sides; beat egg in a large bowl on low speed; beat in the remaining ingredients using medium speed for 30 seconds; pour into prepared dish; bake for 40-45 minutes; remove and invert pan onto a serving plate and cut into rolls. Serves 12.
- 1 lb. Mild Pork Sausage
- 1 Small Onion, chopped
- 1 (11 oz) can Cheddar Cheese Soup
- 1/2 C. Water
- 3 C. Biscuit Mix (such as Bisquick)
Crumble sausage into large skillet; add onion and cook over medium heat until sausage is browned; drain on paper towels; combine all ingredients, stirring until dry ingredients are moistened; drop batter by heaping tablespoonfuls about 2 inch apart on lightly greased baking sheets; bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Makes about 4 dozen.
- 1 Pkg. Butter Pecan Cake Mix
- 4 Eggs
- 1 Pkg. Instant Coconut Pudding Mix
- 1/2 C. Vegetable Oil
- 1 C. Hot Water
- 1/2 Container Poppy Seeds (about 1 Tbls.)
Mix all ingredients except the water thoroughly, then add the hot water, followed by the poppy seeds; bake in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan at 325 degrees until bread springs back when touched. Makes 1 loaf.

Brenda Coultas
from The Bowery Project
The Bowery Project is centered on documenting and reacting to the layers of debris including human kind that layer the streets of the Bowery in NYC. Specify the brief section between Cooper Union and Houston, an area that contains the remnants of SRO hotels and the remains of the 1890s Bowery that are slated to be demolished by The Bowery Development Plan in the next decade. I live a block from this section and travel through it daily. It will no longer exist by 2010, the artist coop (Kate Millett lives there)that used to be McGurk's Suicide Hall (named so because prostitutes flung themselves out the windows in a symbolic protest of their working conditions), the Sunshine Hotel, and various soup kitchens will be extinct. My intent in not to romanticize the suffering or demonize the Bowery residents but rather to comment on poverty, class, suffering, and my own dilemma and identification as a teacher and poet one paycheck away from the street.
Glass Beach
Tide was in and so looked at tree line of the land fill, could see bottles entwined in the roots, glass shards, and garbage compressed to a great density so as to become brown matter. I could see whole bottles that would be free in time and pulled one out, it had a brown liquid in it. Became entranced, curious if this was the original content. Or was it just rot and sea water? A newspaper from the 1940s was lying on some wood, intact except for the edges; in fact so fresh, one could easily turn the pages. I wondered if someone had wedged it out from the roots or had the waves worked it free. Some person who cared about such things as history had placed it there. In fact, there were other scavengers who worked the beach silently setting aside vintage pop bottles and curiosities in a safe place for others like us.
Picked up 2 toy guns, ink well, sm brw, sm brw, 2 wh cold creams. Went home. (July 27, 01, Glass Beach , Brooklyn)
We spoke to a man scratching the sand with a stick for marbles. He knew the history of this place, said it a was horse rendering plant and indeed on the map it said Dead Horse Bay, and it had been a city dump that became a town composed of the dump's employees, then the city closed it down stating it was too toxic to live in. Now it was an unmarked stretch of public beach that the residents returned to regularly and bitterly.
The old glass had a lot of lead and it gleamed. I tried not to be greedy and to take only what I could carry. Meanwhile I left thousands. The broken glass tinkled in the surf and if I ever were to believe in mermaids, this is where they'd be. (July 24,01)
Thought I'd never look like "money." (Aug.. 1,01)
Looked in regular spot, nothing. (April 27,01)
Went to Coney Island with some poets. We had a good time although the garbage was unremarkable. (May 5,01)
70s fake Victorian settee with toaster oven and orange juicer in original box. ( Aug. 30, 01, 2st & 2nd Ave)
Four panels of fake bookcases, 2 tabletops, glass chandelier, slightly broken, and man, with a cart painted blue and decorated with glamorous dolls, sizing it up. We stopped to discuss the objects. We guessed at the origin of them, maybe from the vaudeville days of a famous Bowery theater and shook our heads in shame that we couldn't take any it with us although it was cool stuff. (Labor day weekend, 1st & Bowery).
Shopping cart painted red, metal 70s office chair. Man put small table in trash can and walked away. (Sept 4-01, Houston & Elizabeth)

How soon after surgery should I be fitted for prostheses?
You can start wearing a prosthesis four to six weeks following surgery. Often, patients will be visited by either an organization or a program such as Reach to Recovery while they are still in the hospital to discuss the benefits and to be given a temporary prosthesis.

Celebrate St. Patrick's Day In Dublin
traveling there and aroundGetting to this showcase of Irish culture is as easy as getting to any other large metropolitan center; Aer Lingus (great name, I know) is the republic's national airline and a highly regarded one at that. Upon your arrival, you'll see part of Dublin's great revival in the hotels that dot the area. If you want to enjoy your room as much as the party in the street, you can try The Clarence, owned by none other than Bono and the boys from U2. On the other hand, if saving up for as much beer as possible is a priority, then selecting from the cheaper Temple Bar Hotel or Barnacles Hostel is a good idea. Whatever your choice, it is important to book as early as possible. Over one million people attend the parties, so get a head start on being Irish for a day.
While Dublin is considered an expensive city to tour, the St. Patrick's Festival, as it is officially known, will be decidedly lighter on your wallet. Aside from the pub visits, the exhibitions, concerts and parades that have become a part of the revamped St. Patty's holiday all cost exactly 0 euros. Transportation-wise, buses are perhaps the easiest way to avoid the stress of constant traffic congestion while the Dublin Area Rapid Transport (DART) trains are also very efficient.
With this advice in mind, and a taste for good-natured fun, you are ready to enjoy the sights and sounds of St. Patrick's Day in Dublin. The following three days out of a weeklong party will be more than enough to see what this age-old festival is like.
March 15th: The hunt for beer
In its first official year as a seven-day festival (previously, celebrations took place for weeks before March 17th), St. Patrick's holiday has a lot to offer for all tastes. With song blaring from every dim tavern and the old streets swelling with joyous people, it will be hard not to catch "green" fever. If you arrive in the early morning, you may have time to get your bearings and join in what is quickly becoming a main attraction. The Treasure Hunt at City Centre quizzes families and groups who have pre-registered on the Internet about history and music — you may not know a lot, but this is an awesome way to get to know the Irish folk.
The main benefit of this experience is that the clues lead you around Dublin's main sites: Trinity College (Ireland's oldest university), Phoenix Park (double the area of New York's Central Park), Dublin Castle, and more. The hunt starts at 11am and ends at 2pm, leaving you plenty of time to grab a bite before the evening festivities kick off.
If you can't wait until the next morning to try a famous Irish breakfast, Bewley's Oriental Café on Grafton Street offers eggs, rashers (generous strips of lean bacon), fried toast, potatoes, and coffee; a meal that is known as a "heart attack on a plate," all day long. To fill a hungry stomach before a long night of drinking, it doesn't get better than this.
The day is far from over...

Title here
January 2010
It's that time again—for turning over a new leaf, for reexamining our work and lives, for refocusing on what we really want, and for refreshing our commitment to good works.
Here are some great New Year's resolutions for nonprofit board members. If you do these, you'll set an example and be a "spark plug" for your organization—and you'll also help make the world a better place through your favorite nonprofit.
Be the catalyst; be the provocateur. Challenge, challenge, challenge the status quo. Remember Jack Welch's quote: "If the change is happening on the outside faster than it is on the inside, the end is near."
Well, guess what—that goes for nonprofits too. Too many nonprofits plan for the future based firmly on the past. Be willing to ask, "Why are we doing this?" If needed, point out the elephant in the room that everyone is too polite to mention. Be willing to examine your nonprofit's business model if needed.
Be a sneezer and spread your organization's viral news wherever you go. Ideas are like viruses—they are contagious, spreading from person to person. You want to create an epidemic of good buzz about your organization all around.
All your friends, family and business associates need to know about your passionate involvement in your cause. Say, "Did you know that ... ?" or "Can you imagine that xxxx is happening in our community?" Before you know it, they'll be engaged and on your bandwagon!

Will YOU Show up for Taglioni?; Frankfurt Orphans; Critic Cornered;
Surviving Your Dance Career, During and After
By Paul Ben-Itzak
Copyright 2004 The Dance Insider
Showing up for Taglioni
PARIS -- We're still
looking for additional speakers and sponsors for the September 30
homage to Marie Taglioni being hosted by the Italian Institute here
in Paris. If you're a dance shoe manufacturer, a tutu maker, a dancer,
a dance teacher, librarian, scholar, or writer, you owe Marie Taglioni
a debt. Yes, YOU, dance insider. I don't want to have to tell the
Italian Institute, which has offered us the use of its ornate theater
to honor the first to use pointe artistically, that the dance community
couldn't get it together to honor one of its most important mothers.
Yes, this means you too, post-modern dance insider; as a dance experimenter,
you also follow in Taglioni's footsteps. This means you, Capezio;
you wouldn't have a shoe to sell if Taglioni hadn't made it essential.
This means you, John Minden and Eliza Gaynor; the innovation you
tout in your shoe began with Taglioni. And I'd like to throw a special
challenge out to Michael Weiskopf, who might not have a name for
his magazine ("Pointe") if there hadn't been a Marie Taglioni: Hey
Michael, how about sending your erstwhile editor, the ballerina
Virginia Johnson, to join us in paying homage to the woman whose
legacy feeds us all?
If you would like to
take part as a speaker or dancer, or sponsor a participating dancer
or speaker for our homage to Marie Taglioni, please e-mail me at
Fractured Frankfurters
Speaking of dancers
who advanced the art, half of the 32 members of the Ballett Frankfurt,
which bowed out July 3 here in Paris, will not be carried
over to the Forsythe Company, Frankfurt director William Forsythe's
new, and private, enterprise. The Forsythe Ballet, which anticipates
support from the German states of Saxony and Hesse -- its home theaters
will be Dresden's Festspeilhaus Hellerau and Frankfurt's Bockenheimer
Depot -- will have an annual budget of $4.8 million when it begins
operating January 1. (The first performances will be in April, a
company spokesman told the Dance Insider, declining to say where
the company will launch.)The Ballett Frankfurt's last budget was
about $9 million. In addition to the retained Frankfurt dancers,
the Forsythe Ballet will hire two new members. We thought you'd
want to know what will happen to the dancers who will not carry
The contracts of three
of these dancers, Forsythe told the Dance Insider recently, "cannot
be cancelled by the Stadtische Buhnen Frankfurt, and they will continue
to work there in different artistic sections.... The contracts of
13 dancers weren't prolonged. Some of the dancers will start new
careers as freelance choreographers, or they will start other artistic
projects." (Several of the Frankfurt dancers recently released a
CD showcasing their musical abilities.) We asked if the released
dancers will receive a pension, having been, as members of the dance
company, government employees. "All dancers of the Ballett Frankfurt
will receive financial support out of the social contract and negotiations
with the city of Frankfurt," Forsythe assured us. He will also try
to use his contacts to help the dancers find work, and will use
them himself as guest dancers from time to time, he promised.
Critic Cornered
Speaking of personnel
matters, the dance gossip site "Criticaldance.com" has been getting
its jollies lately by forwarding a gossip item from the July 1 Miami
New Times insinuating that the reason dance critic Octavio Roca
no longer works for its competitor, the Miami Herald, is that he
"apparent"ly committed "plagiarism." I kinda don't know where to
start with this one, but I'll try.
The New Times item is
entirely unsourced. All the New Times columnist -- apparently, one
Edmund Newton -- knows for sure is that Roca's "description disappared
from the Herald website and his byline was no more to be seen in
its pages." (There's, er, apparently, no dance criticism to be seen
on the pages of the New Times web site, but that's another story.)
"The apparent reason," opines Newton, "plagiarism." Apparent from
what or who is not exactly clear. The New Times columnist cites
not a single source who levels the charge "plagiarism" against Roca,
and, by way of evidence, all he comes up with is quotes from two
Herald articles in which Roca allegedly repeated himself from his
own articles previously published by the San Francisco Chronicle,
where he was the dance critic.
My dictionary defines "plagiarize" as "1. To use and pass
off (the ideas or writings of another) as one's own. 2. To appropriate
for use as one's own passages or ideas from (another)." From the
evidence -- if we can call it that -- cited by New Times, Roca did
not do this. In one instance, New Times alleges, he simply shared
with his Herald readers a favorite Balanchine quote he'd previously
shared with his Chronicle audience. In another, he's accused of
repeating an observation about a performance by Baryshnikov. In
other words, even if Roca did repeat himself as New Times
claims, this ain't, contrary to what New Times insinuates, plagiarism.
There's a larger issue
here, upon which both New Times and "criticaldance.com" missed an
opportunity to comment. I haven't read a lot of Roca, but what I
have read reflects a singular lack of imagination, a preference
for superlative over substance. And yet for Roca's editors -- at
the Herald and at the Chronicle -- superlative apparently sufficed.
It's just dance, after all. Find enough ways to say it's pwetty,
and we're satisfied. What's disturbing here is that in a universe
full of dance critics who know how to go deep, the Chron and the
Herald settled for one so shallow.
I Will Survive
Yes, the guitarist and
synthesizer player who entertained me and mine for Bastille Day,
which we celebrated in Les Eyzies, the capital of pre-history, did
indeed play "I Will Survive" and other American er, chestnuts. (I
won't name them, for fear you'll be cursed to then have them running
through your head all day.) But the sub-title above refers to the
Village Voice's most recent Dance Special, forwarded to me by our
Tom Patrick, and which I'm remiss in not mentioning earlier. This
year's edition, edited by Elizabeth Zimmer, focuses on the economic
and working conditions facing dancers. With the caveat that I'd
take any figures from Dance/USA and "Dance/NYC" with a grain of
salt, as well as at least one other figure -- if you can really
feed yourself for $100 per month in New York, I just might move
back -- I urge you to check Jim Dowling's "Follow the Money," by
clicking here, and Josephine Lee and Kimberly
Bartosik's "The Etiquette of Dancing for Free, by clicking there.
I Will Continue to Survive
For most dancers, the
survival challenge doesn't stop when their dancing careers do, it
just enters another phase. We'll have a review on this later, but

The effectiveness of a classic suicide prevention saying.

To the topic, That's a bumper sticker. It's not any real argument against suicide. The arguments against suicide vary based on the individual. One friend of mine was suicidal because he was going through a divorce. That friend of yours who wanted to commit suicide because of his parent's dieing, is actually a temporary problem. The parents are dead. The problem is how he takes that temporary depression. Should I commit suicide because my sister was murdered when I was young? No, I am not still depressed over that. It was a temporary depression. The truth is that people make the stupid decision to end their lives because they THINK there is no other solution.
Some people have a very valid reason. But those are much more rare. Chronic illness, extreme pain, Being burned to death. I can understand those. But some people let their piddly problems become a reason to kill themselves. I lost a boyfriend WAAAAHHHH! I lost a girlfriend WAAAAAAHHH! I've been picked on WAAAHHH! Gimme a break. You ain't the only one who's had that happen to you, and there are people much worse off who are willing to stick it out. Go volunteer at a children's hospital where they have kids dieing of varying diseases. Go ask one of them if they would trade places with you, and most would do so in a heartbeat. Suck it up.

Editor's Note (Feb. 11): Gravitational waves predicted by Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity have been detected directly at last. Einstein was right. You can see our full discovery story here; a video on the find here; and our complete coverage of the historic scientific discovery here.
Gravitational waves are the "smoking gun" of the Big Bang.
Predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity in 1916, a massive object like Earth distorts space-time around it like a bowling ball dropped on a trampoline. The larger the object, the more space-time is distorted by it. If a marble were circling around the bowling ball on the dimpled trampoline, it would fall inward, toward the bowling ball, like a rock in space circling a planet. Gravitational waves are ripples in space-time that travel outward from a source.
Scientists think that powerful gravitational waves are created when two extremely dense objects — like a pair of neutron stars or a black hole and a neutron star — orbit one another in binary pairs. The interaction of those two objects swirl space-time, creating ripples that theoretically can be measured using powerful instrumentation. [See images of gravitational waves]
Direct evidence
In 2014, the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics found a faint signal in the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB) that signifies the first direct evidence of gravitational waves ever discovered. Gravitational waves were the last untested part of Einstein's general theory of relativity.
The Harvard-Smithsonian study spotted gravitational waves as ripples in space-time possible left over from the rapid expansion of the universe (called inflation) right after the Big Bang nearly 13.8 billion years ago.
Scientists working on the study found a distinct curling pattern in the CMB — the comic fog that fills the universe and represents the earliest detectable radiation — that further supports the idea that the universe went through a huge period of inflation a fraction of a second after the Big Bang.
"This work offers new insights into some of our most basic questions: Why do we exist? How did the universe begin?," astrophysicist Avi Loeb, who wasn't a member of the study team said in a statement about the Harvard-Smithsonian research. "These results are not only a smoking gun for inflation, they also tell us when inflation took place and how powerful the process was."
Cosmic inflation
CMB radiation came into existence about 380,000 years after the Big Bang. Scientists have mapped the CMB across the sky and found that it is a uniform temperature, evidence that bolsters cosmic inflation theory.
"Why the cosmic microwave background temperature is the same at different spots in the sky would be a mystery if it was not for inflation saying, well, our whole sky came from this tiny region," Chuck Bennett, principal investigator of NASA's Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) mission, told Space.com in 2013. "So the idea of inflation helps answer some of these mysteries, and it explains where these fluctuations came from." ['Smoking Gun' of Universe's Inflation: Gravitational Waves (Infographic)]
New experimentation
Experiments like Advanced LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory) and Advanced Virgo, could potentially detect those binary-created ripples in space-time, although neither has found a clear signature yet.
"The advanced LIGO detectors that are now being installed will see out through a substantial part of the universe," California Institute of Technology emeritus professor of physics Kip Thorne, a leading proponent of LIGO, said in 2012. "We expect to see black holes colliding at a rate of perhaps somewhere between once an hour and once a year."
Gravitational waves are different from gravity waves, which are ripples created in the atmospheres of planets by the interactions of winds whipping over geological features on the planet's surface.

The Importance Of A Good Resume
the perfect resumeIf you want to learn how to write a resume, then there's five main components you should use:
Career Objective
The career objective serves as a prelude to the more systematic resume where personal information is listed in a fairly technical matter. This section serves to illustrate what your short and long-term goals as a professional are, and how you see yourself developing and honing your skills over the years.
It indicates your work preferences in a brief and consistent manner with the rest of the resume, and can be used as an alternative to an objective statement. This is the perfect opportunity to highlight your strengths at the very beginning of your resume.
Make sure not to repeat yourself. Paraphrase, improvise; do whatever needs to be done, but be creative and original because employers have seen it all!
Work Experience
This part is more of a point-form approach at describing what you can do, and how you learned to do it. You might have an idea of the requirements needed for a specific job, but specifying what these skills are might actually show your future boss that you would be better suited for another position maybe even with better pay.
Be sure to include all your work experience in reverse chronological order. Include the following for every description:
You should describe your work responsibilities using action words, such as produced and created , and emphasize your best and most relevant achievements. Don't feel the need to fully describe your areas of non-expertise; omit them if need be.
Once you have described your actual on-the-field experience, some employers are very keen on learning about your education and training.
This part is especially important if you do not have extensive work experience for the applied position. Follow the same reverse chronological listing as for the work experience.
The following are the basic aspects that should be mentioned in this section:
This is a fairly simple way of plugging in the information. Just remember to be aesthetically consistent.

Follow UCLA women's tennis on twitter: @uclawtennis
UCLA freshman women's tennis player Kaitlin Ray is listed at No. 80 in the current ITA singles rankings. She has had a remarkable start to her college career, owning a 19-2 overall record, including an 11-0 mark in dual matches. Her play has been a big reason why the Bruins are ranked No. 1 in the nation and are off to their best start in 22 years. Ray recently took time out of her busy schedule to sit down with uclabruins.com to discuss such topics as what it was like leaving home at 16, the bond she has formed with her new UCLA teammates, and what she enjoys doing when she's not playing tennis.
It's safe to say that Arkansas doesn't produce as many elite-level tennis players as, say, California or Florida. What was it like growing up and playing tennis there?
"Arkansas is definitely not a tennis Mecca by any means. My case is a little bit different in that neither of my parents played tennis. I started playing when I was four of five and I just tagged along with my sister one summer. I also did soccer and gymnastics and then ended up choosing to focus solely on tennis when I was about 10 or 11. Thankfully I had a really good coach in Arkansas (Martin Kajevski) who I worked with from the time I was 12 to 16. After that it was hard to find good competition to play against so that's when I moved away from home (Ray spent two years at the Smith Stearns Tennis Academy in Hilton Head, S.C.). I think moving away from home when I was 16 made the transition to college that much easier. But at the time the decision to leave home was difficult. I was fortunate to have two years of regular high school under my belt so I feel like I still had a normal experience. Leaving meant that I had to give up many aspects of my social life and that was hard. And obviously it was huge being away from my family. I come from a very close family so the decision to leave was not only a big sacrifice for me, it was probably an even bigger sacrifice for my parents. Unfortunately they lost me two years earlier than they had to. But I'm thankful for the experience."
The freshmen class has been outstanding this season. Is it a close-knit group? And does the fact that all four of you are so far away from home help the bond between you?
"I think it's really neat that we come from all over the country (In addition to Ray, this year's freshmen starters are Skylar Morton from Maryland, Robin Anderson from New Jersey and Chanelle Van Nguyen from Florida). We knew each other from the juniors, but it's been a neat experience for me getting to know them all so well here at UCLA. We spend so much time together, not just on the court but off it as well. We eat dinner together. We study together. I remember coach Rance (Brown) telling me before I got here that it's important that you form a bond with the girls you come in with because they are going to become your sisters. I think that was really great advice because I've seen it happen. We have all gotten a lot closer and they are like family to me."
You have had a great start to your college career, going 19-2 overall and 11-0 in dual matches. You also own the longest winning streak on the team at 16. Did you have any idea that you would have this type of success so early on in your college career?
"I really didn't know what to expect to be quite honest. I certainly didn't think that I would be undefeated in 2012 that's for sure. But I think the coaches have done a great job with me - and everybody really - stressing that we can only control what we can control and to take it one day at a time. I think that has been a real key for me and I want to keep that up. So I just think that my smooth transition from juniors to college is a combination of the high level we have at practice - we all push each other - and how well the coaches prepare us."
What's your mindset when you're out there on the court competing? Also, how much do you enjoy the team atmosphere as opposed to being out there by yourself?
"More than anything, I really try to just focus on what I'm doing rather than worrying about what's happening on the other side of the net. I know that if I execute to the best of my ability that I will put myself in a position to win. So when I'm out there it's all about staying focused, having a great attitude, concentration, good effort and focusing on execution. We work so hard during the week and I believe in that. But once you get out there in a dual match it's all about who wants it more. I think our team has just out-competed people. As far as the team atmosphere is concerned, I just love it. Junior tennis is very lonely. You see a huge difference when you get to college and that has been such a blast for me. There is nothing like going out there in a dual match and fighting with your teammates. It's single-handedly the best way to bond with a group of girls. It's a great feeling when you know that your teammates have your back."
What are some of the things you enjoy doing when you're not playing tennis?
"I love being outside and just spending time with my family. My Dad and I used to go fishing a lot. Also, I'm lucky to be in Los Angeles because the beach is one of my favorite places on earth. I also love college football and just watching sports in general. SportsCenter is my favorite TV show. Both of my parents went to LSU so we're huge LSU football fans, which can be problematic when you live in a state like Arkansas. We don't have anything against the Razorbacks, but we just don't cheer for them."

Nov. 12, 2008
WASHINGTON D.C. - In a day that will forever live in the memories of the Bulldog baseball team member, Fresno State's 2008 National Championship team was honored by President George W. Bush in a White House ceremony on Wednesday.
President Bush invited the Bulldogs to the White House to honor them for winning the College World Series. Fresno State joined some other NCAA team national championship teams at the White House. In his closing remarks, the President congratulated Fresno State for not giving up and quoted Bulldog right fielder Steve Detwiler.
Following an hour-long tour of the White House, the team got a private audience with President Bush and he posed for pictures at the base of the grand stair case. That staircase leads up to the residence area of the East Wing of the White House. In the area of the photo session were amazing portraits of former Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhauer, Harry S. Truman and George H.W. Bush.
Bush and the Bulldogs chatted about baseball and the improbable College World Series victory. He praised the team for winning what he called "a brutally tough tournament" and congratulated them for their upset wins.
President Bush told the squad that he is close friends with Texas Longhorns coach Augie Garrido, a former Fresno State player.
Bush is an avid sports fan, and as the former owner of the Texas Rangers, he told the squad that he follows baseball most closely. He talked to the team about the importance of earning their degrees, and then chatted to a couple of the pro players on the team, Steve Susdorf (Phillies), Clayton Allison (Dodgers) and Justin Wilson (Pirates), about their experiences playing professional baseball.
After taking a team photo with the team, Bush adjourned to the South Lawn of the White House to address the teams. The White House band played the Bulldog Fight Song as the team paraded to their seats. Bulldog captains Steve Susdorf and Clayton Allison joined the President on stage. He saved his comments about the Bulldogs for the end of his speech, at which time he singled out Detwiler's grit and toughness. Detwiler played the majority of the season injured, and was an integral figure in Fresno State's College World Series championship. He drove in all six runs with two homeruns in Fresno State's 6-1 win over Georgia in the national championship game. Upon hearing his name spoken by the President, Detwiler was in shock.
"I was videotaping the speech and when he said my name, I started shaking," said Detwiler after. "I had chills up my spine and couldn't hold the camera still. This is way too soon, too much to even think about right now. I'm in awe, really. I'm lost for words."
The day began with a tour of some of the Washington D.C.'s most historic sites. The tour started at the Lincoln Memorial and a National Park Ranger, Bob Healy, provided the team with an informative and guided tour. After that, the team visited the Vietman Memorial, Korean Memorial and Washington Monument. The weather was overcast and unseasonably mild for winter on the east coast with temperatures in the mid-50s.
The Bulldogs went to the top of the Washington Monument, where the view was spectacular and one could see the D.C. metro area for nearly 40 miles in every direction.
After that, the Bulldogs went to the White House. After getting through the security screening process, the Bulldogs took an extensive tour of the White House, spending the majority of the time on the first floor of the East Wing.
The team enjoyed the White House tour and took plenty of photos of the various rooms and many famous portraits of former Presidents that line the walls. That led to the historic meeting the President Bush.
Transcript of the President George W. Bush Address
THE PRESIDENT: " Thank you all. Please be seated. Welcome to the White House. Champions day here on the South Lawn. We appreciate you coming. We appreciate the fact that as champions you have set goals and you have worked hard to achieve those goals.
I appreciate very much the fact that you brought your coaches with you, and people at your universities who support you. I'm proud to welcome the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, his wife Molly, and daughter Ella. He is here because he is a graduate of Northwestern University. Of course, you're probably here to cheer all the teams, right? Yes.
"Steve Detwiler said this -- he played with an injury by the way -- he said, "It's mind over matter. The pain is temporary. The pride is forever." And I suspect, Steve, a lot of athletes, whether they were on your team or on the teams represented here, can testify that pride is forever. This is a prideful moment for you."
President George W. Bush
I want to welcome other members of the administration, school officials, families, and fans. First team I want to honor is the team for which we have called upon this weather: the University of Alaska Fairbanks rifle team. (Laughter and applause.) The Nanooks are with us today. You won your 10th national championship and your third in a row. I want to welcome coach Dan Jordan and the folks from Fairbanks -- University of Alaska Fairbanks. I asked the captain, "Who did you beat to get here?" And he said, "Army." (Laughter.) The folks at West Point need to practice. (Laughter.) These guys make good competition to you. Congratulations. Welcome. And we are glad you're here.
A lot of teams from the state of Arizona have joined us. (Applause.) We put this weather on just for you. (Laughter.) The University of Arizona men's and women's swimming and diving teams are here. In March, the women defeated Auburn to win the national championship, and one week later, the men handily beat the University of Texas. We welcome you here. This is the first national championship for either team. And I got the feeling, having talked to some of the athletes, this will not be the last time you'll be at the White House, even though it will be my last time here at the White House. (Laughter.) Coach Frank Bush -- no relation -- and the mighty Arizona men and women's team, congratulations, and we welcome you. (Applause.)
The Arizona State University men's and women's indoor track and field team have joined us today. (Applause.) There you are. The Sun Devil men and women both took home indoor track and field championships. This was the first indoor title for the men, and a repeat for the women. You have a great leader and coach, Greg Kraft, and we're glad to welcome you back. Congratulations and thanks. (Applause.) Arizona State softball team is with us today. (Applause.) You went 66-5, and 10-0 during the post-season to capture the Sun Devils' first NCAA Softball National Title. When Coach Clint Myers arrived three years ago, he promised that you would win a national title -- that's a pretty bold promise, Coach Myers -- and you've delivered. And you thanked him by dumping Gatorade all over him. (Laughter.) I hope you sent them the cleaning bill.
The Florida State men's outdoor track and field team have joined us today, the mighty Seminoles. (Applause.) This is your third straight title. Coach Bob Braman told me that he -- last year, he said, "We'll be back, Mr. President." I said, "I'll be here, too." You're in the process of winning; you produced nine All-Americans. Congratulations on another great championship. (Applause.)
The Northwestern University women's lacrosse team. (Applause.) They finished 21-1. I must tell you, I was slightly disappointed when I came in the White House room there and looked at the feet of those women. I was looking for flip-flops. (Laughter.) Coach Kathy -- Kelly Hiller led you to the fourth straight national title over Penn, and here is what she said: "I'm not going to call ourselves a dynasty, but if you want to, I'm okay with it." (Laughter.) Welcome back, a dynasty. Congratulations, ladies. (Applause.)
LSU -- (applause) -- women's outdoor track and field team. Straight out of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. (Laughter.) It came down to the wire -- the very last event of the very last day was the 4x400, and you won. And now you are the national champs. We welcome Coach Dennis Shaver and the women from Louisiana State University. (Applause.)
I'm proud to welcome back Coach John Murphy's Brown University women's rowing team. (Applause.) This is the second straight year that the women have been back. This is your sixth national championship in less than a decade. You are the most successful crew in NCAA women's rowing history. Congratulations, and welcome back to the White House. (Applause.)
And finally, Fresno State men's baseball. (Applause.) So you talk about a team that refused to quit. This team lost 12 of the first 20 games of the season. I suspect some of you wrote you off, you know, like -- (laughter) -- eight and 12? These guys call themselves champs?
You needed to win your conference tournament just to make the NCAA field of 64 teams. Six times in post-season you were only one game away from elimination. Every time you held on, and you became national champs. No wonder the ESPYs nominated you for the best upset of the year. I thank you for your willingness to never say die, your willingness to keep fighting. Steve Detwiler said this -- he played with an injury by the way -- he said, "It's mind over matter. The pain is temporary. The pride is forever." And I suspect, Steve, a lot of athletes, whether they were on your team or on the teams represented here, can testify that pride is forever. This is a prideful moment for you.
We are glad you're here at the White House. I thank you for being good champions on the field. I thank you for being champs off the field. I'm proud you're here at this grand house of the people. May God bless you, and may God continue to bless the United States."
Join the State - Fresno State! The Bulldogs will attend a Fresno State Alumni function on Wednesday evening and return to Fresno on Thursday, arriving at campus at approximately 1:45 p.m. PT.

Red Mitchell-Harold Land Quintet: Catacomb
Red Mitchell (bass) and Harold Land (tenor sax)
Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Hear Ye! (Collectables COL-CD 6756)
Red Mitchell (bass), Harold Land (tenor sax), Carmell Jones (trumpet), Frank Strazzeri (piano), Leon Petties (drums).
Composed by Harold Land.
Recorded: Los Angeles, 1961
Rating: 92/100 (learn more)
This track is a fine example of the work of this excellent but short-lived group. Though this was geographically a West Coast group, their music was much closer in spirit to the style of small-group jazz that was coming out of New York at that time. Harold Land was always one of the most underrated great players in all of jazz, and wrote many distinctive original tunes that appeared on recordings by Wes Montgomery and Bobby Hutcherson, as well as on his own dates. Red Mitchell was one of the most melodic bassists in jazz both as a soloist and accompanist.
"Catacomb" is an attractive 32-bar Land original that provides a stimulating sense of tension and release, both harmonically and rhythmically. It also features a hip off-kilter rhythmic figure that is used as a send-off into the solos.
Land's solo is notable for the combination of intense rhythmic drive, beautifully constructed lines, and distinctive gritty tone quality that made his playing instantly recognizable. Mitchell turns in a spare, warm-toned arco spot. Carmell Jones's solo is notable for its lyricism and warm, glowing sound. Strazzeri's solo is particularly noteworthy for the unconventional way he employs block chords with great rhythmic and harmonic variety. He builds tension by not using conventional right-hand lines until the bridge of his second chorus. Add Frank Strazzeri's name to the short list of jazz soloists who have strong individual styles yet remain practically unknown to the jazz public.

Pasta is the original fast food. Nothing cooks up quicker, goes further and is easier to make, since all we have to do is boil water. But to make your pasta really stand out, here are some super-easy tips:
- Hearty pastas team best with heavier sauces.
- Tubular macaroni types go best with chunky sauces.
- Delicate noodles pair with light sauces that won't weigh them down.
- Start pasta by boiling water. For a quicker boil, simply cover the pot. (Use about six quarts of water for up to one pound of pasta.) Salting the water just before adding the pasta enhances the flavor of the pasta and also helps it absorb sauce.
- Don't combine shapes in the same pot because cooking times may vary.
- To help keep your pot from boiling over, spray the inside edge of the pot with a bit of cooking spray.
- To determine doneness, we could throw it against the wall to see if it sticks, or simply taste it: perfectly cooked pasta should be "al dente." That's Italian for "to the tooth," which means that the pasta is still slightly chewy.
- When pasta is done cooking, rinse it only if you're not saucing and serving it immediately, otherwise the starch that clings to the strands (giving it good taste and texture) will be lost.

MADRID (AP) — Lionel Messi scored his 61st goal of the season and had two assists, leading Barcelona over Getafe 4-0 night Tuesday in the Spanish league and pulling the three-time defending champions within one point of first-place Real Madrid.
Messi capped a superb exchange with Andres Iniesta with a rising shot into the top corner in the 44th minute. Messi leads the league with 39 goals, one shy of the record Cristiano Ronaldo set last season.
Messi has scored in 12 of his last 13 games, totaling 24 goals.
Alexis Sanchez scored in 13th and 73rd minutes and Pedro Rodriguez in the 75th as Barcelona won its 10th straight league game.
Real Madrid can restore its four-point lead by winning at Atletico Madrid on Wednesday.

All By My Selves is comedy superstar Jeff Dunham's story as told by Jeff himself! This unique comedic audio release takes fans behind the curtain to explain how he turned a tired, vaudevillian art form into something truly modern and hip. Not only will Jeff reveal how he developed his act and lovable characters over the years, he'll also share the details of his life as working comedian and family man on the road. Best of all, Jeff's hilarious suitcase posse- Walter, Peanut, and Achmed! - will personally add thier humorous perspectives, jokes, and quips along the way!

"In the last few years, Jeff Dunham has become something akin to a rock star...Ventriloquism has moved back into the entertainment mainstream, and Dunham is leading the way." (The Los Angeles Times)
"Easily one of the funniest stand-up comics alive." (Dallas Morning News)
"Dunham takes ventriloquism into the 21st century as cutting edge comedy." (Star Tribune (Minneapolis))
"Completely Enjoyable"
If you love Jeff Dunham, you will love this book. I'm sure it would have been fun to read, but I've no doubt it was made even that more enjoyable by having Jeff and his dummies narrate. From my point of view, Jeff just popped up one day on my entertainment radar. Little did I know the passion, focus, and shear determination it takes for someone to reach the skill and widespread popularity he has attained. There was never a moment I was not riveted by the fluid narration and fascinating stories of his journey to stardom; I was on pins and needles as he described his first appearance on the Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson, a goal he had strived to attain for 10 years. His book runs up and through his unfortunately short-lived television show in 2009. Thank you, Jeff for sharing your story.

"All By My Selves: Walter, Peanut, Achmed, and Me"
This is an enjoyable novel about Jeff's life & all the interesting happenings during it. The novel also takes you through the creation of his "little guys". Since it is red bu Jeff he deffently adds his personal touch & of course the guys add their two cents each along the way. This book is a good listen for the whole family.
"Very Funny Autobiography!"
I rarely write reviews but I couldn't stay silent about this audiobook. I have seen Jeff Dunham DVDs before and my family loves his humor. I was interested in how he got his start and how he developed his characters and I had one audible credit left so I spent it on this selection. WOW! Jeff narrated it with his little friends, so it was very entertaining as well as informative. He started young and consistently practiced his craft wherever he could. Imagine...he became an "overnight" success after decades of consistent hard work, practice and putting himself out there. Great lesson for us all. His parents are my heros, too, and they are an example of how to encourage, support, and nurture an interest in a child (even if the interest may not lead to a career). Great listen!!
"Great Story!"
Loved the book! It was fun to hear how Jeff started out and how he progressed to where he and the guys in the suitcase are today.
"Love Jeff Dunham"
fun and insightful. We're even treated to cameos by our favorite little guys. Thanks, Jeff.
"Enjoyed every minute"
I found it to be real life. It was very funny, uplifting, and mostly believable. I feel after listening to this, that Jeff has lead so far, a very fulfilling life. Good for you. I will continue to watch all his videos, and listen to any productions he does in the future. Only because, he really does make me laugh. Thanks Jeff.
"An interesting read if you like Jeff Dunham"
This was an interesting read, although I think you have to be a fan of Mr. Dunham to really appreciate it. After I finished it I went back and watched his specials again, and found myself enjoying them even more knowing the background of both him and the dummies.
The fact that Dunham himself narrates this book is quite interesting. I think it adds a lot to the experience, because it adds soul to his tales of building his career. I could however do without the comments from the dummies, as they felt extremely out of place and forced in pretty much every instance. Maybe it would have made more sense if there had been video accompanying it, but as it was, the comments were just way too random and intrusive to add anything to the experience for me.
"Love this book!"
written with heart and humor and an obvious love for his craft and his family! can't wait to see him in Vegas! Fun to listen to...
"Informative and entertaining"
The book is both informative and entertaining.
Full of laughs , mostly clean fun for the whole family
"REALLY insightful"
This really shows how Jeff is human and faces the same sorts of everyday things like family and friends and sometimes has good luck and sometimes has bad luck. It's what he has done with himself and his life that is very inspiring. Also, I really enjoyed his sharing how each character of his has started as one thing and evolved into what we see today... I do hope that down the road in a decade or so, Jeff does a second memoirs book to let us see how he has continued his journey.

Oct. 5, 2000
By Mike Kreiger, WSU Sports Information
There's a youth movement occurring in Pullman, and it has its grip on the Washington State women's soccer team. The young Cougars are starting four freshmen this season, with three others contributing off the bench.
Starting such inexperienced players could pose a potential problem for the team, but Coach Dan Tobias couldn't be more excited.
"We played seven freshmen (in the opening road trip)," Tobias said. "They all played well, and I told them after the opening weekend, `you aren't freshmen anymore.' By having freshmen stepping up in the training and earning their spot in the top eleven, it just picks up the play of everybody, and raises the level of the whole training sessions."
Starting in the midfield for the Cougs are Rachel Rodrick and Kim Morgan, from University Place and Seattle, respectively. Rodrick is the team's primary playmaker, while Morgan is the high-energy spark the team needs.
"Rachel has good field vision and plays with a bit of flair and creativity," Tobias said. "She does a good job helping us keep possession of the ball."
Morgan had her first career assist in the Cougars' 3-2 double-overtime victory at Utah. Her pure athletic ability allows her to jump up and get a head on balls which otherwise would go to the opposing team. Morgan's impact has already been noticed by the WSU coaching staff.
"She's a ball-winner and does a lot of the defensive work," Tobias said. "She's a real high-energy, high work rate player. She does a ton of things that will never show up in any boxscore like getting an extra touch on the ball that allows us to keep possession. Her play in the Utah game was excellent. She won some balls in the midfield area and then started our attack."
The freshman midfielders admitted a little uneasiness going into the first game.
"It was scary," Roderick said. "I must say that it was pretty nerve racking." Despite the nerves, they played well, especially considering the fact they haven't had much experience playing together.
"Rachel and Kim compliment each other real well in the midfield," Tobias said with a confident grin. "They're learning how to play together and learning each other's strengths and weaknesses defensively. Offensively, they have a pretty good understanding of their roles and how to combine with our strikers. Defensively, they're having a little bit of trouble understanding each other, but it's stuff that can be fixed."
The midfield combo feels they have bonded together quite well. They even have their own "special handshake", which includes hand slapping, finger snapping and a "Cougs" chant.
"We're working really well together," Morgan said. "We're communicating and working on our spacing."
Both players have noticed a major difference in the level of play from the high school to collegiate level.
"The speed of play is a lot quicker," Morgan said. "People are a lot more aggressive. You get knocked off the ball a lot easier."
The last line of defense for the Cougars is composed of California native Shay Hobby and Mariette Boyce from West Linn, Oregon. The two players are polar opposites, yet they compliment each other quite well. Hobby is 5-6, slender, and lightning quick Boyce, on the other hand, is 5-10 and very strong. Tobias likes what he has seen so far from the defensive duo.
"Shay's a really composed, bright defensive player," Tobias said. "She's quick, and she does a good job positioning herself and organizing the defense in front of her. We just need her to be a bit more vocal. She's off to a good start as being one of the cornerstones of our defense."
Boyce, with her strength and size, is the enforcer on the team. Her play will be vital to the Cougars' success.
"(Mariette) starts on the right side as one of our outside backs. She's a player with good size (5-foot-10), so she's very good in the air. She's a smart player and is good with the ball as well."
The defenders are excited to be in the position to play as freshmen.
"It's unbelievable," Hobby said. "It's a great opportunity to play with great players and it's just awesome to be out there." Boyce agrees.
"It's something you never really imagined," Boyce said with a huge smile. "I planned to play soccer in college, but I never thought I'd start as a freshman."
The two acknowledge and work off each other's strengths, much to the satisfaction of the coaches.
"Their development is recognizable already, and I think they're going to keep getting better," Tobias said.
"We just try to work with each other and help each other out," Hobby said. "She's bigger than me, and she's really powerful."
"She's so fast, she can get to any ball," Boyce responded.
There is an obvious disadvantage of starting inexperienced players, but Tobias likes what these freshmen bring to the table in terms of their work ethic.
"The energy level is really high," Tobias said. "They're anxious and want to do well. They're now in the starting spot, and they want to contribute as much as they can because they want stay in that starting eleven. We want to harness that energy, so they're not out of gas after 15 minutes. They need to be a little more efficient."
With these four players each earning their starting spots for different reasons, they all have similar goals.
"We want to be the playmakers," said Morgan. "We want to push it and keep the team together."
"We just want to work hard, because the harder we work in the middle, it seems to work easier for the rest for our team," Rodrick said. "We can pick the pace of the game, so we want to raise the level of play."
The defenders have big plans in mind for the Cougar soccer program.
"I just want to play my heart out," Hobby said. "We want the program to work up and be a better team. We want to come out and stand out this year, not just be another team in the Pac-10. We just have to take it step-by-step, but we're in the process of getting there."
"Our goal is to get to the NCAA playoffs," Boyce said. "We're working to get there, and so far, I think we're off to a good start. We just want to go out there as a team and play 100 percent the whole time."
With a nucleus of young, athletic, and intelligent players leading the way, the Washington State soccer program looks as if it will have many bright moments in the years to come.

The Palm Beach, Florida Kennedy estate at 1095 North Ocean Blvd is on the market as of May 2014 for $38.5 million. Joseph P. Kennedy purchased it in 1933 for $120K and it stayed in the family for 62 years. Thanks to the caring of John K. Castle, some memorable Kennedy history has been preserved.
Mr. Castle, the chairman and CEO of New York-based investment firm Castle Harlan Inc., and his wife Marianne bought the rundown home with no air conditioning or central heat in 1995 for $4,934,800. It has undergone a two-year $6 million facelift although it had been considered an ugly, beyond saving teardown by Palm Beach locals.
During President John Fitzgerald Kennedy's days, the home was the "Winter White House" for JFK and wife Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. President Kennedy reportedly held "press conferences and presidential meetings" in the home. At times, JFK and Jackie also rented C. Michael Paul's mansion nearby since the compound was the vacation home for the entire Joe Kennedy family. The Pink Pillbox website has some of the famous Kennedy pictures such as the Richard Avedon January 1961 family pictures and the Easter 1962 JFK family pictures taken at the house and distributed worldwide.
Senator Kennedy wrote Profiles in Courage while recovering at the house from back surgery between 1954 and 1955, and his parents Joe and Rose watched the November 1960 Presidential election returns at the house. JFK chose most of his cabinet members and worked on his 1961 inaugural address there, containing the message "Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country. " Joseph Kennedy suffered his massive stroke at the house on December 19, 1961. JFK's last day spent at the Palm Beach house was Monday, November 18, 1963, when he left to speak in in Tampa and Miami before flying to his fateful Texas trip.
John Castle considered the home a "national sanctuary" and appreciated its historical significance. The Castles' purchase also included an additional $80,000 for the Kennedy furniture including the beds of Joe, Jack, Bobby, and Ted, the Kennedy 18-foot-long dining table and chairs, JFK's mahogany massage table, and "a chest of drawers with each drawer bearing a label in Rose's handwriting describing the contents."
Architect Addison Mizner built the two story Mediterranean Revival style oceanfront home in 1923 for department store magnate Rodman Wanamaker who named it "La Guerida", meaning bounty of war. Afflicted with serious kidney problems, Wanamaker died in 1928. His family kept the estate until with economic conditions of the Great Depression they sold it in 1933, the same year Mizner died.
Rose Kennedy loved the Palm Beach area so husband Joe bought the home for them to spend the winter season from December to April. He added an additional wing to the house, which was designed by Maurice Fatio, a tennis court and swimming pool and a special "bullpen" walled off area where he could sunbathe and be on the telephone for business.
In the Castle renovation, central heating and air conditioning were added as well as new restrooms for the poolroom, marble interior for the bathrooms and a cosmetic makeover. The original bent palm trees in the backyard were replaced and the name was changed to "Castillo del Mar".
The home features 11 bedrooms, 12 bathrooms and 3 partial baths, dining room, eat-in kitchen, living room, den, utility room, and balcony for a total of 15,347 square feet in 3 structures. The over one acre property in the Wells Road and North area includes 176 feet of oceanfront, the hard tennis court, swimming pool, 4 car garage, patio/lanai and seawall/bulkhead with "sweeping direct oceanfront views" from the home and pool. The Jack and Jackie Kennedy bedroom and furniture was totally preserved just as it was during their years as seen above in the video picture.
The home is listed with Linda R Olsson Inc. with the Palm Beach Board of Realtors MLS (PBBORMLS), telephone 561.820.9195. View the website for more pictures.

Dulce et Decorum Est
by Wilfred Owen
Symbol Analysis
Just how "real" is this war scene that we're reading about? Well, that's a tricky question. For our speaker, it's too horrible to seem real at all. That's why we get so many descriptions of the battlefield as a bad dreamscape (you know, like one of those horrible night terrors that you had as a kid). The only difference is that you could wake up sweating and run to your parents. For this guy, the dream is the real deal.
- Line 2: See our analysis in "Allusion" of the simile comparing hags to soldiers here. If hags are witches, then they fit pretty well into the whole nightmare vibe that's being created.
- Line 2: Check out the alliteration in this line: the repeated "k" sounds begin to have an echoing quality, like the words that bounce around in a nightmarish fog.
- Lines 13-14: The imagery of these lines is pretty intense. Murky green lights and all-encompassing fog? Sounds scary to us.
- Lines 15-16: Here's where our speaker gets serious about his dreams. The image of the dying soldier becomes a literal nightmare, one which haunts the speaker for the rest of the poem.
- Line 19: This line is all alliteration all the time. The "w"s in this line just keep stacking up.
- Line 20: More sound play. Sibilance is the name of the game in this line: repeating "s" sounds create a sort of hissing on our tongues. Oh, and did we mention the allusion to the devil in this line? He's pretty nightmarish.

Check out her first interview since filing for divorce from Chad Ochocinco Johnson.
Basketball Wives Reality star Evelyn Lozada, the estranged wife of NFL player Chad Johnson, said she still loves her husband "more than anything," but she is "afraid" of him and believes he "needs to get help."
"It's the hardest thing in the world to walk away from someone that you really love," Lozada told "Nightline" in an exclusive interview. "But you have to walk away because I have to protect myself."
"I believe he loves me. I believe he needs to get help," she said. "He's a good guy that made a bad choice. He loves football and he's very driven and a great dad. He made a bad choice that destroyed his life, and I hate that I'm connected to that."
