|Rajon Rondo: 'We kept fighting despite regardless of the other stuff out there'
|04.12.12 at 1:09 am ET
In many ways, it was the ugliest of the 19 triple-doubles in the career of Rajon Rondo.
But no Celtics fan alive cares that he made just three of his 16 field goal attempts. They'll live with that when you're talking about a point guard on a record-setting pace few have ever seen in NBA history. Wednesday, he had 10 points, 10 rebounds and 20 assists to lead the Celtics over the Hawks, 88-86 in overtime at delirious TD Garden.
'Putting the ball in the hole, pretty simple," was Rondo's answer when asked how one goes about getting 20 assists in a game, referring to his teammates. "They were concentrating a little bit more today. I don't know you got to ask them. I think a lot of them were uncontested shots, we got out, we got stops. We did a great job rebounding and that hasn't been what we do best but tonight we did an excellent ball rebounding the ball.'
The 13 missed shots weren't the only ugly part of the game. The Celtics again could not take care of the ball in the first half, committing 12 of their 23 turnovers in 53 minutes of play.
And there were the questionable calls. The two on Greg Steimsma and the one on Kevin Garnett that sent both to the bench for the night with six fouls. And there was the offensive foul on Paul Pierce with 5.3 seconds remaining that gave Atlanta one last shot. But still and all, Rondo and the Celtics found a way to win.
It's just how it is, you win some you lose some," Rondo said. "We kept fighting regardless of the other stuff out there, we stuck together and we followed through and got the win.'
There were no reported outbursts tonight at halftime or bets with assistant coach Ty Lue. Everyone was just too tired to expend the energy. And who can blame them. But still, they knew they had to cut down on the turnovers.
'It starts with me, if I take care of the ball I think we do as a team because I think I dominate the ball a lot, more than anybody, so I try to be more conscious when I am turning the ball over in the first half, but overall I think we got to slow down as a team and try to execute our assists and not try to force anything," Rondo said.
|Doc Rivers: 'Guys are locked in'
|04.09.12 at 11:59 am ET
Doc Rivers has preached it over and over.
The shots aren't always going to fall but the defense will always be there.
Such was the case on Saturday night when they shot just 42 percent in Indianapolis.
But they held the Pacers to 35 percent in an 86-72 win. Sunday night, they followed that up by holding the Sixers to 38 percent in a 103-79 romp that put them on the brink of their fifth straight Atlantic Division title.
How appropriate since defense has been the backbone of everything in the Doc Rivers "Big 3" plus Rajon Rondo era.
Sunday, the Celtics held the Sixers to 6-of-22 shooting the second quarter to take command of the game.
'The defense is really good; guys are locked in," Rivers said after Sunday's game that improved the Celtics to 32-24 on the season. "Your offense will fail you, you know that guys; I don't care how well you play, your offense is going to fail you sometimes. But if you come with the right mindset your defense never should. And it'll always give you a chance to win a game.'
Even two weeks ago it would've seemed far fetched that Avery Bradley would succeed Ray Allen as the starting off guard next to Rajon Rondo in the backcourt. But combine his newfound ability to cut the basket with his shutdown defense and he's become too valuable not to start. He has seen success defensively from both sides now.
'Its very important for the bench to come in and bring the intensity," Bradley said. "That's something that Doc always, we take pride in as a team so we want to come in and bring the intensity and play hard on the defensive end and that's what we did in the second quarter.
'It was very important for us to win this game. We want to come out and play hard and ya know coming in the second half we wanted to come out in the third quarter and we wanted to bring our intensity up even higher. That's what Doc told us, he told us to come in the third quarter and play hard and we were making shots and we just continued to make the lead even higher.'
Part of defense is rebounding and with Paul Pierce staying home and crashing the boards, like his six first-quarter rebounds Wednesday against the Spurs, the Celtics are not giving up as many second and third-chance points. Even Sasha Pavlovic has bought in. He had four rebounds in the first half Sunday, including three in seven minutes in the second quarter.
'Well it's a combination of things," Pierce said. "We got to take care of the ball definitely, but we got to rebound the ball and I thought we did a better job competing on the rebounds, especially at the guard level myself, Avery, Sasha, Rondo getting in there rebounding the ball. So its going to be important for us as we wind down the season and in playoffs, that's what our one true weakness is and if we can address that down the stretch we will be a tough team to beat.'
|Rajon Rondo proves again: 'It starts with me'
|04.09.12 at 11:08 am ET
Rajon Rondo has put up numbers this season that are pretty unreal.
At halftime Sunday night, his numbers were again staggering, but for a far different reason – five turnovers to go with six assists – and still the Celtics were cruising by 14 over the fading 76ers.
In his streak of 17 games of double-digit assist totals, Rondo has also prided himself on taking care of the ball. The first half Sunday night made Rondo really, really upset.
"He was really upset at halftime because he had the five turnovers," Doc Rivers said. "I think he had a bet – not real money – with [assistant coach Ty Lue] that he'd have zero turnovers in the second half."
Well, Rondo played the odds well because Rondo had the perfect second half, including nine third-quarter dimes without a turnover, and played 12 minutes in the second half without a miscue. He played so well that he got the entire fourth quarter off as the Celtics rolled, 103-79.
He finished with 15 assists but it was the zero turnovers in the second half that meant the most to Rondo after the game.
"The second half I just tried to keep it simple," Rondo said. "We ran particular play the entire third quarter and it was good for myself and the team. It's a good win for us. Guys got some rest for Miami."
So how did the Celtics double their lead from 14 to 28 in the first nine minutes of the third?
"It starts with me," Rondo said. "I had five [turnovers] in the first half. I played 12 minutes in the third and I didn't have any turnovers and I think that's why we were able to open up the lead on Philly and blow this game out."
Rivers was certainly on board with Rondo's approach, as he watched his point guard simply things.
"Keeping it simple," Rivers said. "As simple as Rondo can."
That doesn't mean Rondo won't pull of the spectacular – like when he hit a turnaround, fadeaway baseline jumper as the shot clock was expiring midway through the third.
But Rivers realizes, turnovers or not, put the ball in Rondo's hands when he's pushing the ball up the court and good things almost always happen.
"Guys do a great job, they know when Rondo is pushing the ball up," Rivers said. "We've changed a little bit. Early in the year, we were always running toward Rondo to set a pick for him. Now we're running away from Rondo and setting a pick on everybody else. And it's been a good move by us and [the picks] are getting guys open."
|Paul Pierce: With LeBron James and Heat on Tuesday, 'it doesn't get any easier'
|04.08.12 at 10:22 pm ET
The Celtics have earned a day in the sun on Monday in South Florida after they all but locked up their fifth straight Atlantic Division title on Sunday with a 103-79 shutdown of the fading 76ers at TD Garden.
They'll need that rest.
LeBron James and the Heat most certainly feel they have debt to pay after the Celtics handed them their worst loss of the season on April 1 in Boston.
'Oh yeah, I've looked at this since the schedule came out," Paul Pierce admitted. "It doesn't get any easier of course. You go to Miami, you come home and play Atlanta, then you got three in a row. Its tough, every team in the league has to deal with it, unfortunately we got to deal with it at the end of the season when teams seem to be winding down, getting tired legs. But maybe its good for us, cause it seems like we are playing our best basketball right now in this crucial stretch.'
Then the Celtics return home to play the suddenly resurgent Hawks, whom they could face in the first round – and would if the playoffs started today. Then they have Thursday off before playing three straight on the road, albeit against the Raptors, Nets and Bobcats.
It appears that the message of Doc Rivers was heeded very well in the last two games as the Celtics have allowed 72 and 79 points in wins over the Pacers and the Sixers. Doc might have been ticked off but Pierce said after Sunday's game, he wasn't the only one.
"He was frustrated but we all were frustrated, of course we were frustrated from losing a game that we all feel like was a very winnable game," Pierce said. "As veterans we know how to respond, we know how to take our game up another level, you felt the frustration from the coach but we felt it ourselves. Even if Doc didn't express it, I think we would have came out and play the way we played the last couple nights.'
The Celtics are now 32-24 and lead the Knicks and Sixers by three games with 10 left on the schedule. The division ensures no worse than a No. 4 seed and home court in the first round. But obviously, the Celtics have their sights set much higher.
|Doc Rivers: 'I'm just so pissed at the way we played'
|04.06.12 at 1:22 am ET
Doc Rivers had seen enough.
After his team blew an 11-point halftime lead against the NBA's top team and fell to the Bulls, 93-86, Rivers ripped into his team in a postgame press conference Thursday night in Chicago. But it wasn't losing by seven to the best team in NBA on their home court that bothered him.
It was the lack of effort in the second half, and the lack of fight.
"I think it was the worst loss of the year for us," Rivers said. "I think Chicago was too tough for us, tonight."
Rivers was referring to the fact that the Bulls found a way to win without their star point guard and last year's MVP Derrick Rose, who was missing his 12th straight game with a sore groin.
The Celtics played tough defense in the first half, holding the Bulls to 38 percent from the field, and assuming a 49-38 lead. But things fell apart quickly in the third quarter, as the Bulls outscored the Celtics, 29-17. The Celtics faded badly in the fourth and never regained the lead. They were again badly outrebound, 44-36.
"They were too tough for us tonight," Rivers continued. "We let go of the rope. That was a crime. That was unacceptable."
Rivers was only warming up.
"I don't want to hear about us winning crap," he said. "That was unacceptable. We're not going anywhere playing like that. I'm just so pissed at the way we played. The playoffs are the furthest thing from my mind right now.
"We were the cool Boston Celtics. That's what you could see. We were walking around. We couldn't get the ball inbounds? We were the cool Boston Celtics. It was a joke."
|Paul Pierce: 'Some days they fall, some days they don't'
|04.04.12 at 11:43 pm ET
When you have the reputation as one of the best clutch shooters in recent NBA history, you have to live with the occasional failure.
Wednesday night was that occasional moment of frustration for Paul Pierce as his shot from the right side of the free throw line extended hit the rim but never fell through, allowing the Spurs to escape with a heart-pounding 87-86 win Wednesday night at a breathless TD Garden.
Pierce was making no excuses for taking the inbounds pass from Rajon Rondo and using the last 7.9 seconds of regulation before missing the shot that would've dramatically extended the Celtics winning streak to six. The play called for Rondo to inbound to Pierce, facing the basket. Pierce then has the option of driving to the basket or recognizing who's guarding him and drive to a spot to get off an open jump shot.
When he saw Tim Duncan switch to guard him, Pierce chose the second option. Kevin Garnett was open but once Pierce put the ball on the floor with a dribble there was no time to get it to him for a clean shot. Instead, Pierce, as he has before dribbled to one of his favorite spots on the court.
"You just play the game and you see what happens, you don't know what to expect," Pierce explained. "There are numerous possibilities of things that could have happened when I come off the pick and roll and obviously they switched, they could have trapped, Stephen Jackson could have stayed on me, but that's not what I'm thinking about. You play a lot of this game on instinct and the things that happen, they happen on the fly and happen so quick. I like the shot that I took, but at the end of the day it came down to I thought lose balls, they got two huge offensive rebounds late for buckets and to me that killed us.'
'We got Paul into an iso," Doc Rivers said of the trademark isolation play that he has drawn up for Pierce many times before. "He got probably the shot he wanted. He just didn't make it… and they had a foul to give. So most teams switch. We actually said that they probably would and we were trying to get Duncan on a Paul matchup because we thought we had the speed advantage." Read the rest of this entry »
|Celtics are talking about practice!
|04.03.12 at 9:04 pm ET
Boy, would Allen Iverson love these Celtics.
Thanks to the compressed schedule and their ridiculously long eight-game road trip of mid-March, Tuesday marked their first practice since the All-Star break. It also marked their last – at least of the regular season.
"We might be able to squeeze one more in but I think this is it," Rivers said after their 90-minute session Tuesday.
The Celtics are about to embark on a stretch of 11 games in 15 days, including three straight on the road April 13-15. They're in good shape in the division but how they make it through the next two weeks will go a along way toward determine how they stand up in the playoffs – and more to the point – how long.
"Rondo reminded me – or asked – 'I think this is our first practice since the All-Star break', which it was. I didn't realize that. It's good."
What exactly did the Celtics get out of it?
"I don't know," Rivers admitted openly, as he always does. "We got some pick-and-roll coverages with the new guys, and when I say new guys, I mean all the new guys, I'm talking [Keyon Dooling], all the guys. I thought that helped a little bit but you need more than one practice, honestly. [Monday] we had a meeting. We could've gone over 50 things so we just have to cut everything out and work on some offense, very little, and a lot of defense."
Overall, Rivers' last comment on his veteran team's conditioning might have been the most telling.
"My guess is we're in average shape, along with every other team because I think you decondition during the season, I don't think you get in better shape," Rivers said. "I've always thought that. That's where the practices come in, where you can run and get back into stuff. I will say this – our veterans especially, they do a phenomenal job on off days.
"If we're in a hotel on the road, they're running on the treadmill. They do a lot of extra work because I think they know their bodies and they are conditioned. I thought in the Miami game [Sunday], we went on that one spurt in the third quarter, there were four or five guys with their hands up, ready to come out, and we couldn't take them all out at the same time. But that was because of the pace. That tells me we still have to get in a little better shape to play the way I think we should play."

Sheby H. Rider Haggard
View All Available Formats & Editions
- LendMe LendMe™ Learn More
A runaway bestseller on its publication in 1887, H. Rider Haggard's She is a Victorian thrill ride of a novel, featuring a lost African kingdom ruled by a mysterious, implacable queen; ferocious wildlife and yawning abysses; and an eerie love story that spans two thousand years. She has bewitched readers from Freud and Jung to C. S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien; in her Introduction to this Modern Library Paperback Classic—which includes period illustrations by Maurice Greiffenhagen and Charles H. M. Kerr—Margaret Atwood asserts that the awe-inspiring Ayesha, "She-who-must-be-obeyed," is "a permanent feature of the human imagination."
Editorial Reviews
Another hot new series from Penguin, "Great Books for Boys" offers a handful of top adventure stories from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Each volume sports a nice vintage-looking cover to complete the spell. Great fun (and girls can read them, too!).
Michael Rogers
"The Broadview edition of She represents a benchmark in Rider Haggard studies. Situating She within a broad array of cultural documents on race, gender, empire, and archaeology, Andrew M. Stauffer has created an invaluable resource for contextualizing this fascinating adventure story within the ambulatory scope of the late-Victorian scientific and geographical imaginary. This edition will provide students, scholars, and the general reader alike with a sound foundation for reading (and rereading) Haggard's classic novel." Shawn Malley, Bishop's University
"Professor Stauffer's editing is an exemplary case of textual stewardship: great care without imposition. His introduction is not only authoritative and lucid but stylistically engaging, as energetic as the novel itselfan ideal introduction for first-time readers. The appendix topics are exactly what is needed, and the materials included provide an excellent context. The selection of non-fiction pieces by Haggard himself on questions of genre, imperialism, archaeology, and gender roles provides especially valuable insights into the author, the novel, and the times." J. Jeffrey Franklin, University of Colorado at Denver

My Visitor
There are some events of which each circumstance and surrounding detail seem to be graven on the memory in such fashion that we cannot forget them. So it is with the scene that I am about to describe; it rises as clearly before my mind at this moment as though it had happened yesterday.
It was in this very month something over twenty years ago that I, Ludwig Horace Holly, sat one night in my rooms at Cambridge, grinding away at some mathematical work, I forget what. I was to go up for my fellowship within a week, and was expected by my tutor and my college generally to distinguish myself. At last, wearied out, I flung my book down, and, walking to the mantelpiece, took up a pipe and filled it. There was a candle burning on this mantelpiece, and a long, narrow glass at the back of it; and as I was in the act of lighting the pipe I caught sight of my own countenance in the glass, and paused to reflect. The lighted match burnt away till it scorched my fingers, forcing me to drop it; but still I stood and stared at myself in the glass, and reflected.
"Well," I said aloud, at last, "it is to be hoped that I shall be able to do something with the inside of my head, for I shall certainly never do anything by the help of the outside."
This remark will doubtless strike anybody who reads it as being slightly obscure, but in fact I was alluding to my physical deficiencies. Most men of twenty-two are endowed with some share, at any rate, of the comeliness of youth, but to me even this was denied. Short, thick-set, and deep-chested almost to deformity, with long sinewy arms, heavy features, hollow grey eyes, a low brow halfovergrown with a mop of thick black hair, like a deserted clearing on which the forest had once more begun to encroach; such was my appearance nearly a quarter of a century ago, and such, with some modification, is it to this day. Like Cain, I was branded—branded by Nature with the stamp of abnormal ugliness, as I was gifted by Nature with iron and abnormal strength and considerable intellectual powers. So ugly was I that the spruce young men of my College, though they were proud enough of my feats of endurance and physical prowess, did not care even to be seen walking with me. Was it wonderful that I was misanthropic and sullen? Was it wonderful that I brooded and worked alone, and had no friends—at least, only one? I was set apart by Nature to live alone, and draw comfort from her breast, and hers only. Women hated the sight of me. Only a week before I had heard one call me a "monster" when she thought I was out of hearing, and say that I had converted her to the monkey theory. Once, indeed, a woman pretended to care for me, and I lavished all the pent-up affection of my nature upon her. Then money that was to have come to me went elsewhere, and she discarded me. I pleaded with her as I have never pleaded with any living creature before or since, for I was caught by her sweet face, and loved her; and in the end by way of answer she took me to the glass, and stood side by side with me, and looked into it.
"Now," she said, "if I am Beauty, who are you?"
That was when I was only twenty.
And so I stood and stared, and felt a sort of grim satisfaction in the sense of my own loneliness—for I had neither father, nor mother, nor brother; and as I stared there came a knock at my door.
I listened before I went to answer it, for it was nearly twelve o'clock at night, and I was in no mood to admit any stranger. I had but one friend in the College, or, indeed, in the world—perhaps it was he.
Just then the person outside the door coughed, and I hastened to open it, for I knew the cough.
A tall man of about thirty, with the remains of singular personal beauty, hurried in, staggering beneath the weight of a massive iron box, which he carried by a handle with his right hand. He placed the box upon the table, and then fell into an awful fit of coughing. He coughed and coughed till his face became quite purple, and at last he sank into a chair and began to spit up blood. I poured out some whisky into a tumbler, and gave it to him. He drank it, and seemed better; although his better was very bad indeed.
"Why did you keep me standing there in the cold?" he asked pettishly. "You know the draughts are death to me."
"I did not know who it was," I answered. "You are a late visitor."
"Yes; and verily I believe it is my last visit," he answered, with a ghastly attempt at a smile. "I am done for, Holly. I am done for. I do not believe that I shall see to-morrow!"
"Nonsense!" I said. "Let me go for a doctor."
He waved me back imperiously with his hand. "It is sober sense; but I want no doctors. I have studied medicine and I know all about it. No doctors can help me. My last hour has come! For a year past I have only lived by a miracle. Now listen to me as you never listened to anybody before; for you will not have the opportunity of getting me to repeat my words. We have been friends for two years; tell me how much do you know about me?"
"I know that you are rich, and have had the fancy to come to College long after the age when most men leave it. I know that you have been married, and that your wife died; and that you have been the best, indeed almost the only, friend I ever made."
"Did you know that I have a son?"
"I have. He is five years old. He cost me his mother's life, and I have never been able to bear to look upon his face in consequence. Holly, if you will accept the trust, I am going to leave you as that boy's sole guardian."
I sprang almost out of my chair. "Me!" I said.
"Yes, you. I have not studied you for two years for nothing. I have known for some time that I could not last, and since I faced the fact I have been searching for someone to whom I could confide the boy and this," and he tapped the iron box. "You are the man, Holly; for, like a rugged tree, you are hard and sound at core.
"Listen; this boy will be the only representative of one of the most ancient families in the world, that is, so far as families can be traced. You will laugh at me when I say it, but one day it will be proved to you beyond a doubt that my sixty-fifth or sixty-sixth lineal ancestor was an Egyptian priest of Isis, though he was himself of Grecian extraction, and was called Kallikrates.* His father was one of the Greek mercenaries raised by Hak-Hor, a Mendesian Pharaoh of the twenty-ninth dynasty, and his grandfather or great-grandfather, I believe, was that very Kallikrates mentioned by Herodotus.† In or about the year 339 before Christ, just at the time of the final fall of the Pharaohs, this Kallikrates (the priest) broke his vows of celibacy and fled from Egypt with a Princess of royal blood who had fallen in love with him. His ship was wrecked upon the coast of Africa, somewhere, as I believe, in the neighbourhood of where Delagoa Bay now is, or rather to the north of it, he and his wife being saved, and all the remainder of their company destroyed in one way or another. Here they endured great hardships, but were at last entertained by the powerful Queen of a
*The Strong and Beautiful, or, more accurately, the Beautiful in strength.
†The Kallikrates here referred to by my friend was a Spartan, spoken of by Herodotus (Herod. ix. 72) as being remarkable for his beauty. He fell at the glorious battle of Platæa (September 22, b.c. 479), when the Lacedæmonians and Athenians under Pausanias routed the Persians, putting nearly 300,000 of them to the sword. The following is a translation of the passage: "For Kallikrates died out of the battle, he came to the army the most beautiful man of the Greeks of that day—not only of the Lacedæmonians themselves, but of the other Greeks also. He, when Pausanias was sacrificing, was wounded in the side by an arrow; and then they fought, but on being carried off he regretted his death, and said to Arimnestus, a Platæan, that he did not grieve at dying for Greece, but at not having struck a blow, or, although he desired so to do, performed any deed worthy of himself." This Kallikrates, who appears to have been as brave as he was beautiful, is subsequently mentioned by Herodotus as having been buried among the 'ir´enes (young commanders), apart from the other Spartans and the Helots.—L. H. H.
savage people, a white woman, of peculiar loveliness, who, under circumstances which I cannot enter into, but which you will one day learn, if you live, from the contents of the box, finally murdered my ancestor Kallikrates. His wife, however, escaped, how, I know not, to Athens, bearing a child with her, whom she named Tisisthenes, or the Mighty Avenger.
"Five hundred years or more afterwards the family migrated to Rome under circumstances of which no trace remains, and here, probably with the idea of preserving the idea of vengeance which we find set out in the name of Tisisthenes, they appear with some regularity to have assumed the cognomen of Vindex, or Avenger. Here, too, they remained for another five centuries or more, till about 770 a.d., when Charlemagne invaded Lombardy, where they were then settled, whereon the head of the family seems to have attached himself to the great Emperor, to have returned with him across the Alps, and finally to have settled in Brittany. Eight generations later his lineal representative crossed to England in the reign of Edward the Confessor, and in the time of William the Conqueror was advanced to great honour and power. From that time to the present day I can trace my descent without a break. Not that the Vinceys—for that was the final corruption of the name after its bearers took root in English soil—have been particularly distinguished—they never came much to the fore. Sometimes they were soldiers, sometimes merchants, but on the whole they have preserved a dead level of respectability, and a still deader level of mediocrity. From the time of Charles II till the beginning of the present century they were merchants. About 1790 my grandfather made a considerable fortune out of brewing, and retired. In 1821 he died, and my father succeeded him, and dissipated most of the money. Ten years ago he died also, leaving me a net income of about two thousand a year. Then it was that I undertook an expedition in connection with that," and he pointed to the iron chest, "which ended disastrously enough. On my way back I travelled in the South of Europe, and finally reached Athens. There I met my beloved wife, who might well also have been called the 'Beautiful,' like my old Greek ancestor. There I married her, and there, a year afterwards, when my boy was born, she died."
He paused a while, his head sunk upon his hand, and then continued:
"My marriage had diverted me from a project which I cannot enter into now. I have no time, Holly—I have no time! One day, if you accept my trust, you will learn all about it. After my wife's death I turned my mind to it again. But first it was necessary, or, at least, I conceived that it was necessary, that I should attain to a perfect knowledge of Eastern dialects, especially Arabic. It was to facilitate my studies that I came here. Very soon, however, my disease developed itself, and now there is an end of me." And as though to emphasise his words he burst into another terrible fit of coughing.
I gave him some more whisky, and after resting he went on:
"I have never seen my boy, Leo, since he was a tiny baby. I could never bear to see him, but they tell me that he is a quick and handsome child. In this envelope," and he produced a letter from his pocket addressed to myself, "I have jotted down the course I wish followed in the boy's education. It is a somewhat peculiar one. At any rate, I could not entrust it to a stranger. Once more, will you undertake it?"
"I must first know what I am to undertake," I answered.
"You are to undertake to have the boy, Leo, to live with you till he is twenty-five years of age—not to send him to school, remember. On his twenty-fifth birthday your guardianship will end, and you will then, with the keys that I give you now" (and he placed them on the table), "open the iron box, and let him see and read the contents, and say whether or no he is willing to undertake the quest. There is no obligation on him to do so. Now, as regards terms. My present income is two thousand two hundred a year. Half of that income I have secured to you by will for life, contingently on your undertaking the guardianship—that is, one thousand a year remuneration to yourself, for you will have to give up your life to it, and one hundred a year to pay for the board of the boy. The rest is to accumulate till Leo is twenty-five, so that there may be a sum in hand should he wish to undertake the quest of which I spoke."
"And suppose I were to die?" I asked.
"Then the boy must become a ward of Chancery and take his chance. Only, be careful that the iron chest is passed on to him by your will. Listen, Holly; don't refuse me. Believe me, this is to your advantage. You are not fit to mix with the world—it would only embitter you. In a few weeks you will become a Fellow of your College, and the income which you will derive from it combined with what I have left you will enable you to live a life of learned leisure, alternated with the sport of which you are so fond, such as will exactly suit you."
He paused and looked at me anxiously, but I still hesitated. The charge seemed so very strange.
"For my sake, Holly. We have been good friends, and I have no time to make other arrangements."
"Very well," I said, "I will do it, provided there is nothing in this paper to make me change my mind," and I touched the envelope he had put upon the table by the keys.
"Thank you, Holly, thank you. There is nothing at all. Swear to me by God that you will be a father to the boy, and follow my directions to the letter."
"I swear it," I answered solemnly.
"Very well; remember that perhaps one day I shall ask for the account of your oath, for though I am dead and forgotten, yet shall I live. There is no such thing as death, Holly, only a change, and, as you may perhaps learn in time to come, I believe that even here that change could under certain circumstances be indefinitely postponed," and again he broke into one of his dreadful fits of coughing.
"There," he said, "I must go; you have the chest, and my will can be found among my papers, under the authority of which the child will be handed over to you. You will be well paid, Holly, and I know that you are honest; but if you betray my trust, by Heaven, I will haunt you."
I said nothing, being, indeed, too bewildered to speak.

Sir Henry Rider Haggard was an English writer of adventure novels set in exotic locations, predominantly Africa, and a pioneer of the Lost World literary genre. Ayesha, the female protagonist of She, has been cited as a prototype by psychoanalysts such as Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung. His most famous, King Solomon's Mines is a story that has universal interest, for grown-ups as well as youngsters.
His novels She, Allan Quatermain, Ayesha, The Return of She and King Solomon's Mines are considered as all time best ever adventure novels.

Free ebook edition obtained via books buddy app. While it is nice to see works made available in ebook format, the edition of this book was converted very poorly. Obviously a former library book from Cornell (complete with a page of due date stamps and cancellations,) this edition was, for all intents and purposes, unreadable due to a poor and apparently completely unlooked at OCR conversion after scanning. A cursory scan of just the table of contents and first page should have led to another attempt instead of release of this work in its mangled, unreadable form.
This is a wonderful story that will take you on a journey to both the darkest and most beautiful landscapes you're ever apt to read about. The epic journey, adversity against impossible odds, and romantic tones might remind you of The Lord of the Rings series. I have no qualm with the story itself, but I found its format to be tough to read on my nook. The footnotes were hard to follow, as they were often written out three or four pages later, and the illustrations in the text itself did not translate onto the nook reader.
This version is copied in a way that introduces many very distracting typos.
While I like the overall story, I found it a little tedious at times. There is a little too much exposition for my taste. Once we get to meet SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED it moves along much faster, but that isn't until almost half way into the story. Before that is several pages of Greek and Latin and also pages of untranslated characters that the nook doesn't recognize (supposed to be Egyptian hieroglyphs possibly). I think it's more a style of writing of that time that I find somewhat tedious, though I don't remember it being so prominent in King Solomon's Mines. It's a good story, if you can get through the first half.
This book is teribble no wonder it is free it suks
Let me make it clear that I am reviewing the abridged audio cassette version of She that was recorded by the Caedmon Players and in which Kathleen Turner plays the role of She. I usually try to avoid abridged audio cassette versions of novels. Having read the original and found it to be slow going, it occurred to me that this might be an improvement with She. And that was a correct assumption. Victorian adventure novels often got bogged down in descriptive detail that made them serve a secondary purpose as travelogues. She fits into that model rather nicely with great amounts of detail about the imaginary African tribe of the Amahaggers. Pared down, the Amahaggers enhance the main story in this version. The book opens as Horace Holly's dying friend begs Horace to take on the task of raising the friend's five-year-old son and preparing him for a challenge when he becomes twenty-five. Since Horace is an honest, hard-working sort and the position pays well, it is an easy decision. Horace and the boy, Leo, quickly become close, and Leo treats him like a favorite uncle. On Leo's twenty-fifth birthday, they open a mysterious chest that Leo's father has left in Horace's care. Eventually, this reveals an ancient story from Leo's family written on a potshard. On the potshard, there seems to be information about the potential for discovering the secret of eternal life. This requires a trek to Africa. Along the way, Leo falls gravely ill but they are rescued by the Amahaggers who have ordered by She-who-is-to-be-obeyed not to hurt them. The rest of the story unweaves the fantasy tale of how the 2,000 year old Ayesha, She-who-is-to-be-obeyed, became connected to Leo's family. Ayesha is a little out of date in her preferences, still being an Egyptian-style autocrat with a taste for the macabre. I wouldn't have gone out with her on a second date myself, no matter how beautiful she was. The Gloria Swanson role in Sunset Boulevard is evoked in She. The recording made me feel young again. I remember listening to radio stories like this one as a child (yes, I'm a pre-television-aged person). The sound effects and music are terrific, and add greatly to the performance. Ms. Turner is very electric as She. She has the same alluring vocal quality that made her irresistible in Body Heat. The only jarring note was that I had not expected the Egyptian temptress, Ayesha, to have a distinctly Southern accent. But I soon got over that. The story is an interesting one, because it builds around the potential of having a world in which women rule by right. That theme was most appropriate for Queen Victoria's time, and the novel considers the Amahaggers, She, and Queen Victoria as alternative models of female leadership. Because of our current enthusiasm for equal opportunity for the sexes, the book is more contemporary in its social commentary than you might think. I saw a parallel in She's overwhelming impact on men to the tragedies that often befall female movie stars who have similar appeals, such as Marilyn Monroe. Clearly, the message that emerges is that a balance between women and men is better than either the male or the female dominated society. A good thing to think about a

Gas prices are on the rise, just in time for the holiday travel season.
According to the latest Trilby Lundberg survey, the average cost of regular has risen nearly 8 cents a gallon to $2.99.
San Francisco residents are paying the highest in the country at $3.29 a gallon. The lowest recorded price is in Denver, Colo., at $2.68.
"The retail rise would have exceeded a 10-cent rise if it wasn't for oil's slippage of $1.17 a barrel, which equates to nearly 3 cents a gallon equivalent," Lundberg said in a telephone interview with Bloomberg News.
The current price of retail gasoline is 39.16 cents above the year-ago price of $2.59 on Dec. 18, 2009, Lundberg said.
"It's a wide differential and the gain comes from crude oil price increases in late November and early December," she said.
Whether gasoline climbs to $3 a gallon by the end of the year depends on the "fluctuation in crude prices," which are "driving the price of gasoline more than usual," she said.
"There aren't other issues; we have a surplus of gasoline, a surplus of refining capacity and high unemployment," she said.
The price covers the two-week period that ended Dec. 17 and is derived from data provided by 2,500 filling stations nationwide to Lundberg, an independent gasoline analyst in Camarillo, Calif.

Lunchbox Broccoli, Ham & Cheese Salad
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 5 mins
This is adapted from Kentaro Kobayashi's book Bento Love, which I find to be a great resource for lunchbox ideas. I especially turn to it when I need help with vegetable ideas, and this is one of my favorites from the book. The cheese is my own addition, cheddar just goes so well with broccoli and ham! Note- This is meant to be a side dish, if you want it to be your main (or only) lunch item, increase the quantities to match your appetite.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup broccoli floret, cut into bite sized pieces
- 1 slice deli ham
- 1 teaspoon mayonnaise
- 1⁄2 teaspoon coarse grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon shredded cheddar cheese
- pepper, to taste
- Bring a saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli, and cook until not quite done. (I just barely blanch it, as the remaining heat will continue the cooking while it cools) Drain, and set aside to cool.
- Cut the ham into 1/2 inch squares.
- Mix the cooled broccoli, ham, mayo, mustard, cheese, and pepper to taste.
- ** As this has mayo in it, be sure to pack your lunch with an ice pack to keep cool and safe until lunchtime!

This is a great broccoli salad. I liked the ham in it. The mustard gave a great flavor. I used raw broccoli. Thanks Ingrid :) Made for PRMR tag game
This made for a great lunch today. The ingredient amounts are perfect for one. This was very fast and easy to prepare. I blanched my broccoli for about one minute, but I think I would have liked it better just raw. The flavors of the ham, mustard and mayo were so nice. Yum. Thanks for a great lunchbox salad!! :)

This painting depicts Paule, the artist's wife, together with their first child Rémi. Wilkie seems to have admired and responded to this image of quiet harmony, domestic security and family tenderness. In common with Lessore's work in general, the atmosphere of a particular moment has been captured and revealed through the relation of the figures. The sense of calm and intimacy is enhanced further by Lessore's use of subtle differences in tone, and subdued colours. At the same time the brushwork has a freshness and immediacy which evoke the sense of an informal scene glimpsed momentarily.

Research Topics
Current Research
Our laboratory focuses on (1) the molecular features of a novel, glycan-dependent, signal transduction cascade and (2) the mechanism of nuclear transport. The nuclear transport of transcription factors, nuclear kinases, steroid hormone receptors, and replication factors often serves a critical regulatory function. We are examining the mechanisms of nuclear import, export, and subnuclear targeting. We identified a novel nuclear transport pathway involving calmodulin. This pathway has been shown to play a role in mammalian sex determination and stem cell differentiation. We are identifying additional components of this pathway using yeast genetics and chemical biology approaches.
The nuclear pore complex (NPC) mediates the transport of mRNA and proteins across the nuclear envelope. Many components of the nuclear pore are modified by a novel modification: O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-linked GlcNAc). The modification also occurs on transcription factors and certain oncogenes and tumor suppressors. Current evidence suggests that the O-linked GlcNAc transferase (OGT) mediates a novel glycan-dependent signal transduction pathway. We have molecularly cloned and characterized the human OGT responsible for glycosylating nuclear pore proteins. This enzyme is expressed as differentially targeted isoforms in man and is localized to both the nucleus and the mitochondria. When expressed in E. coli, the human OGT is catalytically active. We recently solved the X-ray structure of the substrate recognition domain of OGT and we are beginning to understand how it recognizes its many intracellular targets. Although the enzyme is found in a number of target tissues, it is most highly expressed in human pancreatic beta cells, consistent with a role in glucose-sensing. Based on its substrate specificity and molecular features, we have proposed that OGT is the terminal step in a glucose-responsive pathway that becomes dysregulated in diabetes mellitus (NIDDM).
Applying our Research
Our studies may provide insight into how nutrition may impact the health of both mother and offspring.
Need for Further Study
The enzyme catalyzing O-GlcNAc removal, O-GlcNAcase, has also been identified, expressed, and shown to exist as differentially targeted isoforms in man. We are also using the genetically amenable C. elegans model to examine the physiological impact of the enzymes of O-GlcNAc cycling. Using reverse genetics, knockout, and other transgenic models, we are currently exploring the role of these essential genes in signal transduction and pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus. Our studies further suggest that O-GlcNAc cycling plays a key role in the regulation of chromatin structure and may be a key player in epigenetic reprogramming in response to nutrition and other environmental influences.

I feel much stronger and a noticeable improvement in physique
I've been following the program for a few weeks now. But also I have missed a few days here and there. The trainers voice is pleasant and the small incremental goals are really fun to get into. I am at 108 push-ups per day, which is not bad starting from only 20. Highly recommended.
Great app
I'm about halfway through the program and it has been very helpful so far.
Great app
Actually see loads of changes when I started using it - nice motivator

Soldiers in the Panhandle brought a new meaning to the term "heavy metal" in 1943. They collected more than 1 million pounds of scrap metal in Potter, Oldham and Deaf Smith counties.
Residents of Deaf Smith County contributed more than 350,000 pounds toward the total, reported the Aug. 18 Amarillo Daily News.
With its work completed in those counties, the Army's Mobile Salvage Collection Unit was moving to Castro County during its mission to feed "the hungry steel mills, turning out arms for victory" in World War II, the story reported.
The Amarillo Army Airfield's mobile unit of 50 soldiers and 13 trucks planned to spend several weeks in the Castro County salvage search.
County Judge Posie Cunningham was heading up the local effort. He called for his neighbors to give all their available scrap metal to "demonstrate their desire to help win the war," according to the story.

• The central objective in this article is to effect a critical examination of these theories and hypotheses that purport to explain the process by which selected sociocultural factors make their ingression into the personality and emerge as mental symptoms and/or mental disorders.
The difficulties of isolating these specific factors stem from two unresolved methodological concerns. One is the uncertainty as to whether functional mental illness can be differentiated into several qualitatively distinct syndromes or whether it forms a unity of a more generic character. The other is the failure to formulate a valid social-psychological theory that can demonstrate that selected sociocultural factors contribute to the molding of a mental illness observed in the phenotype.
Finally, 15 propositions summarize the factual knowledge that emerges from the several social-psychological, epidemiological, and cultural studies examined.

"Staten Island in American History and 21st Century Education"
College of Staten Island, of the City University of New York March 19-20, 2011
Co-sponsored with Wagner College, St. John's University, and SI 350, Inc. With major support from the Staten Island Foundation.
An understanding of the role of place and the attachment to community in America has never been more critical than in our rapidly changing global environment. This conference seeks to explore major turning points and issues in American history as experienced by the residents of Staten Island past and present. Located at the entrance to New York harbor, Staten Island is one of the five boroughs that comprise New York City. Since 1661, Staten Island has been the home of settlers and migrants from around the globe. Staten Island's cultural diversity and its regional and global interconnections are reflected in its institutions, cuisine, art and architecture, businesses, social movements, recreational tourism, transportation heritage, and in the service of its military veterans. Our goal is to rethink the significance of Staten Island and its important historic sites, as part of New York City, the region, the nation, and the world through the interdisciplinary lenses of history and Place-based Education.
In celebration of Staten Island's 350th Anniversary in 2011, we invite innovative proposals from scholars, curators, teachers, and public historians related to community history and education. Proposals must be relevant to and illustrate the conference theme, including but not limited to the following topics:
* History of immigration and ethnicity
* History of race and gender
* Staten Island in the transatlantic world, e.g. Huguenot refugees, the Loyalist Diaspora, the Free Trade Zone
*Staten Island in the history of New York City, e.g. Civil War Draft Riots, Consolidation, the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Fire
*History of the arts, architecture, health, business, military, sports, transportation, religion, food and drink or environmental history
*Geography, poliics, and economics in the study of local history
*The historical interconnectedness of Staten Island to the New York/New Jersey region
*The role of the museum in public history and preservation
*Pedagogy, including Place-based Education, civic engagement and community-based research
*Memory and oral history
Proposals for complete panels and/or individual papers for this peer-reviewed conference are welcome. Proposals for panels must include the following: 1) a cover sheet with the panel title, paper titles, and the name, address, affiliation, and email addresses of the chair/commentator and of the panelists; 2) a 350-word abstract of the panel as a whole; and 3) a 350-word abstract for each paper included on the panel. Individual paper proposals for twenty-minute papers should include the following: 1)a cover sheet with the paper's title, and the name, address, affiliation, and email address of the participant and 2) a 350-word abstract of the paper.
All materials should be emailed to Dr. Phillip Papas, Associate Professor of History and co-chair of the SI 350 Academic Conference/Education Symposium at firstname.lastname@example.com. Proposals for panels and/or individual papers must be received no later than October 15, 2010. Successful applicants will be required to send a completed paper no later than February 7, 2011.

Don't hold your breath guys. They have a whole slew of newer titles that they are working on today. They have to keep up with all the updates for these new titles as well (which seems to be a never ending myriad of patches these days as games are often released when they are not ready). All that aside, the place for trainer requests is here: Link

How old is the game? If it's older than one or a couple of years, then you can not ask for a trainer.
Weakness is what brings ignorance, cheapness, racism, homophobia, desperation, cruelty, brutality, all these things that will keep a society chained to the ground, one foot nailed to the floor.

Robert Stieglitz Decisions Enrique Ornelas in a Tough War
By Alexey Sukachev
From the Freiberger Arena in Dresden, Sachsen, Germany - WBO super middleweight champion Robert Stieglitz (39-2, 23 KOs) retained his title with a hard-fought unanimous decision over determined and strong Mexican challenger Enrique Ornelas (30-7, 20 KOs). All three judges (Clark Sammartino of USA, Andre Van Grootenbruel of Holland and Manfred Kuechler of Germany) saw it identically 117-111 - for the defending champion. BoxingScene had it just a notch closer 116-112 - also for the Russia-born German expatriate.
It wasn't a walk in the park for Stieglitz although he started this fight in style. The German stylist utilized his sharp jab to give Ornelas some sofisticated trouble. By jabbing all the time Stieglitz was able both to spoil Mexican's defense and to frustrate his opponent. He added right straights constantly to get things even worse for the challenger. Ornelas did some good work with his hard but sparse blows in rounds four and five but lost some steam as both rounds progressed. BoxingScene had it 49-46 - right after the fifth round of this affair, which was pretty much tactical at the point.
However, Ornelas wasn't there to be taken out easily. He dug deep and found some inner resources to prevail in the sixth round. Rounds seven and eight proved to be almost catastrophic for the defending titleholder as a pure hell of Ornelas' punches had broken in. The Mexican warrior kept the German fighter in big trouble by pounding a visibly gassed Stieglitz from pillar to post and dealing him a a lot of punishment. The German champion was in bad condition at the end points of both of these rounds but managed to somehow weather this wild storm. It proved to be a turning point in this entertaining battle.
While Ornelas lost his focus and caught some boxing arrhythmia, the German fighter improved his guard and started to deliver punches with his own bad intentions. Stieglitz closed this fight well by battling a sturdier opponent and giving him little chance for retaliation.
This victory proved to be a sweet redemption for Robert (originally Sergey) Stieglitz. Two and a half years ago he lost to Ornelas' brother Librado Andrade via the technical knockout. Both fighters were ranked #8 coming into this bout: Ornelas - by the WBO, and Stieglitz - by the Ring magazine.
Female super featherweight multi-champion Ramona Kuhne (17-1, 5 KOs) scored a dominant ten-round unanimous decision over tough but limited Bosnian fine Irma Balijagic-Adler. There were no knockdowns, and the fight went the distance in Kuhne's favor: 100-90 (twcie) and 97-94 - for the German champion, who retained her WIBF, WBF and WBO 130lb titles. Balijagic-Adler suffered her first career loss and her record now reads as 12-1, with 5 KOs.

One dies, six others injured in early-morning one-vehicle accident near Adrian
ADRIAN - An early Monday morning accident killed one Texas A&M-Commerce student and injured six other TAMC students just west of Adrian, a department of public safety spokesman said.
Po Tsang Chen, a 37-year-old Commerce man, died at 2:12 a.m. at the scene of the accident, the spokesman said.
According to a report made by DPS Trooper Arturo Lopez, the seven were in a 1998 GMC van headed east on Interstate 40 in a construction zone when the accident occurred, the spokesman said.
The report stated the driver, Guang-Han Tang, a 28-year-old Arlington man, drifted left from the improved road into an area torn for re-pavement, the spokesman said.
The report said Tang overcorrect-ed and caused the van to overturn on its right side, the spokesman said.
Tang suffered neck injuries, the spokesman said. A Baptist St. Anthony's spokeswoman listed him in critical condition Monday night.
Chih Ping Yang, a 30-year-old Greenville man, suffered head and neck injuries, the spokesman said.
A Northwest Texas Hospital spokeswoman listed Yang in critical condition Monday night.
Also injured were Weili Lou, a 23-year-old Plano man; Yi-Chun Chen, a 20-year-old Sulphur Springs woman; Huei-Ying Chiang, a 30-year-old Plano woman; and Pei-Chen Wang, a 33-year-old Commerce man. All were treated and released from NWTH, the spokesman said.

Ike Davis expresses his displeasure to first base ump Manny Gonzalez on Tuesday at Wrigley Field.LOS ANGELES -- Ike Davis was slapped with a $750 fine and will not be suspended for making contact with umpire Manny Gonzalez on Tuesday at Wrigley Field.
Davis will donate the money to the Baseball Assistance Team, which aids retired players.
Davis' glove made contact with the first-base ump's left arm when he spun to complain about a safe call on a pickoff attempt. He was ejected. Replays showed Davis actually had successfully tagged out the runner, and Davis insisted the contact with Gonzalez was unintended.

The Indiana Pacers are set to battle against the Miami Heat in a rematch of last year's Eastern Conference Semifinals matchup. Both teams have similar rosters as last postseason, but there has also been a few key role players added to each respective team that has helped them get to this point in the playoffs.
After leading the series 2-1, the Pacers were outmatched as the Heat battled back to take the series, 4-2. Miami is much better this year than any previous year during the Big Three era.
If the Pacers want to overcome the defending champions, they will need to play a perfect series and limit the mistakes that they were accustomed to making in the series against the Atlanta Hawks and the New York Knicks.
This slideshow will evaluate the keys to the Pacers' success against the Heat and how they could utilize their advantages to the fullest extent.

We study how aversion to ambiguity about the predictability of future asset values and cash flows affects optimal portfolios and asset prices. We show that optimal portfolios do not always react to new information even though there are no information processing costs or other market frictions. Moreover, the equilibrium price of the market portfolio does not always incorporate all available public information that is worse than expected. This informational inefficiency leads to price underreaction consistent with momentum.
