A complex masterpiece that spawned controversy right from the start (it was banished from the Concord library shelves in 1885), it is at heart a compelling adventure story. Huck, in flight from his murderous father, and Jim, in flight from slavery, pilot their raft through treacherous waters, surviving a crash with a steamboat and betrayal by rogues. As Norman Mailer has said, "The mark of how good Huckleberry Finn has to be is that one can compare it to a number of our best modern American novels and it stands up page for page." read more

Excerpt from An Adventure: With Appendix and MapsIt is a great venture to speak openly of a personal experience, and we only do so... for the following reasons. First, we prefer that our story, which is known in part to some, should be wholly known as told by ourselves. Secondly, we have collected so much evidence on the subject, that it is possible now to consider it as a whole. Thirdly, conditions are changing at Versailles, and in a short time facts which were unknown, and circumstances which were unusual, may soon become commonplaces, and will lose their force as evidence that some curious psychological conditions must have been present, either in ourselves, or in the place.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

I hope that it isn't you that is this stupid.Who Is Keeping You In Gods Hand?
Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations. Deuteronomy 7:9
Is he just being nice to us? That would be a strange doctrine. We are going to heaven by the grace of the devil!
God saves us. God keeps us. What has been settled in eternity can never be undone by the ways of men or the schemes of the devil.
Read Romans 8:38-39 today. These would be important verses to memorize.
Romans 8:38-39, 38 "For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
[When I talk about eternal security, inevitably I will hear,Well, maybe your sins cant take you out of the hand of God, but Satan can.
In all due respect, I respond,Pardon me. But that is foolishness. If Satan could take us out of the hand of God, why hasnt he done it yet?]
for the answer is obvious, satan has already taken us out of the hand of God. we aint in the garden anymore are we?
It is NEVER satan that takes us away from God, it is self.we just CHOOSE to allow him
But thanks be unto God that Jesus came and has offered us a Way back into that Promised Land. people that believe in OSAS are the most unbeleivable people in the world, next to catholics, to think that you are so superior that YOU CANT FALTER OR FALL.

Over 60 Surprise police officers to wear cameras
PHOENIX — More than 60 police officers in Surprise, Ariz. will soon be equipped with on-body cameras, the city's police department said Wednesday.
"These cameras add a new level of documentation that will be very useful to officers and residents, as they capture video and audio during a traffic stop or at a crime scene in varying light and audio situations," said Surprise Police Chief Mike Frazier in a press release.
The cameras, about the size of a thumb drive, have reduced officer-related complaints in other cities. They can be affixed to an officer's shoulder, hat, sunglasses or shirt collar.
"They're small enough in size that they're not causing a significant issue with body movement and so forth," said Surprise Police Sgt. Mike Donovan, adding that the audio and video captured by the camera will aid police in prosecution.
It will cost Surprise $226,717 for 61 on-officer cameras, a warranty and space to store the video captured. A majority of the cost was paid using seized assets.
Surprise experimented with the cameras for one year before making the decision to equip all officers with cameras.
Phoenix and Mesa police also use on-officer cameras.

Prof. John Brittain spoke at the Society of American Law Teachers (SALT) Conference offering his predictions for the outcome of the affirmative action Supreme Court case, Fisher v. Texas, which will affect the use of race as a factor in law school admissions. Prof. Brittain acknowledged that the worst possible outcome would be for the Court to reverse the Michigan case and ban the use of race in admissions evaluations. The best scenario would be to stick with precedent. SCOTUS might also opt to make Texas choose between the two systems they currently employ: allowing for race considerations and admitting the top 10% of each high school class.
Professor Brittain also shared the new "messaging strategy" for those favoring using race as a factor in admission decisions. Here are the Ins and Outs:

Skip to comments.Gen. George S. Patton, 80, Son Of World War II Commander, Dies
Posted on 06/30/2004 4:44:08 AM PDT by SLB
WASHINGTON, June 29 - Maj. Gen. George S. Patton, the son and namesake of the World War II armored commander and a veteran of combat in the Korean and Vietnam Wars, died on Sunday at his home in Hamilton, Mass. He was 80.
General Patton, who retired from the Army in 1980, had been in poor health for years because of complications from hip surgery and other ailments, his wife, Joanne, said.
The younger General Patton was occasionally asked whether he felt overshadowed by his father, who gained fame for his exploits in North Africa, Sicily and France and who was introduced to new generations of Americans through George C. Scott's movie portrayal. "I've never worried about it," the son said in an interview in 1977. "I've been too busy."
The younger officer was wounded in one of his three Vietnam tours and was awarded a Purple Heart. He was twice awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, the second-highest decoration for bravery in combat.
George Smith Patton was in his last year at West Point when his father, George S. Patton Jr., was killed in a traffic accident in Germany in December 1945. For a time, the younger man was known as George S. Patton III, but he eventually dropped the Roman numeral, his wife said.
General Patton acknowledged that, just as his father had, he demanded a spit-and-polish look from his soldiers. And like his father, he loved history and spoke French, Joanne Patton said. He received a master's in international affairs from George Washington University.
As a colonel, he commanded the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment in Vietnam. As a major general in 1975, he took command of the Second Armored Division at Fort Hood, Tex. His father had led the division in North Africa.
In 1964, the younger George Patton and other relatives objected to a new biography of the World War II commander, "Ordeal and Triumph," saying it used unauthorized material from the general's wartime diaries. Some material was deleted, and the book was published.
In retirement, the general ran Green Meadows Farm in Hamilton, north of Boston.
Also surviving are three sons, George, of Hamilton; Robert, of Darien, Conn.; and Benjamin, of New York; two daughters, Mother Margaret Patton, a nun in Bethlehem, Conn., and Helen Plusczyk of Saarbrücken, Germany; six grandchildren; and a great-grandson.
This came to me in email this morning. The source was listed as the Earlybird. I will check the Earlybird later, right now off to the "honey do."
Some of you are in an earlier post. Sorry about doubling.
George the Third gone to Fiddler's Green.
He joins a group of very honorable warriors on Gods side.
Thank you. I have a couple of what I think are funny stories about him while I was stationed at Fort Knox in the 70's. I'll share them later when I have a little more time.
BTW, I was about to say that I knew him as "the III" and then I read the article. RIP GSP III.
We radioed back all of our findings to the company, who forwarded them to battalion, and up the chain it went. We sent the maps and radio code sheets back with one of the squads.
At about 0600, General Patton's helicopter came over and SGT Porter called it in to the landing zone at the HQ. When it landed and the General got out, my squad took both him "prisoner" and "captured" the helicopter as well.
We got most of his staff, his maps and radios (and code sheets), and his helicopter. 2nd Armored lost that wargame as the Cav rolled it up like a f*rtsack.
Another BTW:
I learned yesterday from a friend that the Vice Chief of Staff of the Army, General Casey is the son of the 1st Cav General who was killed in a helicopter crash in Vietnam. Damn, I'm feelin' old.
You magnificent bastard..I READ YOUR BOOK!
Yikes! *giggle*
During the road march north the radio suddenly came to life with information that the Regimental Commander, COL George S. Patton, Blackhorse Six, was standing on the side of the road saluting each A-Cav as it went by him. The troopers on each vehicle, including myself, returned the salute as they went by Blackhorse Six. At that time, B Troop was commanded by CPT John Hays, an outstanding Troop Commander. Several days later CPT Hays was killed in an attack against dug in NVA troops.
COL Patton's simple leadership act of standing by the road and saluting each vehicle as it went by had a great affect on me. That image has stuck with me to this day.
May he enjoy his hero's welcome in heaven! REst in peace...
God bless him, and the old General, too. What a colorful family.
And he gets extra stars in my book for dropping the III once his father and grandfather were gone. Except for kings and popes, the numbers are supposed to be temporary, only to distinguish among *living* holders of the same name.
The rumor around Ft. Knox when the movie, "Patton" came out was that the family would not cooperate with any studio until after Colonel Patton was selected for BG. If true, I always thought that was a classy move. They didn't want it to be said that the movie helped him get a star.
Gen. George S. Patton visited the University of Vermont in 1972 as a speaker to the campus ROTC cadets. These were tough times in this country particularly for us military types. The General was magnificent in every respect. He was very real in those surrealistic times. Inspiring.
Thanks for sharing your stories. They are so interesting, and give us a feel for who the man really was.
Rest in Peace, General Patton.
Thanks for the ping.
America has been blessed by the capable military leaders. This gentleman was another example.
I bet the general was a real happy camper over this. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall watching all of this.
Well, he wasn't too happy with his security people, but he was a real gentleman about it with all of us Cav guys. After the exercise was over, he sent each one of us a set of his two-star collar insignia (the silver Class-A type) and a pretty neat two paragraph memo complimenting us on our professional and tactical expertise.
Yup ... a real fine man ... but I certainly wouldn't have wanted to been a part of his HQ section during the next training cycle.
God Rest the General.
Thanks for the post SLB
Wow. And J F Kerry was "wounded" three times in his one(4 month) tour of duty. Interesting.
Thanks for the story. He sure looked like his father!
"And J F Kerry was "wounded" three times in his one(4 month) tour of duty. Interesting"
Maybe he isn't real good at ducking except when it comes to questions.
Bumpity Bumpity Bumpity.
Hahaha love it!
God bless General.
Sounds like he was a class act.
Thanks for the ping, Johnny! BTTT!
The younger General Patton was occasionally asked whether he felt overshadowed by his father, who gained fame for his exploits in North Africa, Sicily and France and who was introduced to new generations of Americans through George C. Scott's movie portrayal. "I've never worried about it," the son said in an interview in 1977. "I've been too busy."
His father would be proud of him for this.
May he rest in peace.
Somebody got their butt in a sling over this.
Don't know much about this guy, but I know his father was a great American.
Patton seems to have arrived at Bastogne after the 101st and others had already fought the enemy to a standstill.
Thank God for this hero and his family!
Good morning.
In 1968 my company worked for the 11th ACR for a while and I met Col. Patton in our TOC a couple of times. I remember him being cool towards us, probably because we were too loose for him. Blackhorse was a good unit to work for which, to me, means Patton was a good leader.
Michael Frazier
I remember when he ended up at AMC or DARCOM or whatever it was called. Didn't he have a tour in Germany after being the Armor School Commandant? The reason I ask that is because there were stories he had been in the front seat of a Huey when they violated some kind of German restricted airspace. I also remember that the Army Times ran a story that he was about to retire when he was a BG. Soon after that he came out on the MG list. Not sure of all my dates.
