Lady Warriors win over Rockets 9-6
Wednesday, September 18, 2013 1:00 AM
The Choctaw Central Lady Warriors scored eight runs in the fifth inning to knock off previously undefeated Neshoba Central 9-6 in slow-pitch softball action.
"Choctaw Central has a good team and they beat us," Neshoba Central Coach Trae Embry said. "We haven't been hitting the ball consistently and it cost us. Our hats are off to them."
The Lady Warriors went 5-0 last week.
Other local highlights saw Philadelphia hand Quitman High School its first loss of the season in a 9-6 decision. The Lady Tornadoes visit Neshoba Central on Thursday night.
All four local teams will be in tournament action on Saturday. Leake Academy will enter the Class AA North Half fast-pitch tournament at Bayou Academy. Philadelphia and Neshoba Central each have two games in the West Lauderdale tournament which will be held at Sammie Davidson Park in Meridian. And Choctaw Central plays in the Houston tournament.
Local records at start of the week:
Choctaw Central 16-1
Neshoba Central 12-1

Philadelphia 10-5

The Lady Warriors picked up five victories last week. They opened the week with a 10-0 win over Raleigh and then stopped Leake Central 8-4. The Lady Warriors bested Neshoba Central 9-6 on Thursday and then played two games in the New Albany tournament. First they defeated Mooreville 10-5 and then they dropped Tishomingo County 14-3.
"We are playing well," Choctaw Central Coach Aaron Terrell said. "But right now, we are 0-0 in district and those are the games that are going to count. We have some big games coming up and those are the ones we have to focus on."
Tiara Joe was the pitcher in all five games.
Hannah Hickman had three singles and Raina King added two doubles to lead the Lady Warriors over Raleigh.
The Lady Warriors outhit Leake Central 15-6 in their game. Jonica Thomas hit two home runs. Hickman hit a home run and two singles while LaShayla McMillan added three singles.
Neshoba Central led 3-1 going into the fifth inning. The Lady Warriors came back to score eight runs in the fifth and claimed the win. Hickman hit a home run. McMillan added a double and a single while Brooklyn Bell had two singles.
The Lady Warriors came out swinging against Mooreville as they scored five in the first, three in the second, one in the fourth and one in the sixth. Gu'yu'eze Morris had four singles while Jada Sockey went 3-for-4.
It was more of the same against Tishomingo County. Hickman led with two home runs, including one grand slam. Sockey hit a single, a double and a grand slam homer.
Neshoba Central
The Lady Rockets turn their attention to region action this week as they were to play at Madison Central.
This year, Neshoba Central is playing in the Region 4-5A-6A along with Madison Central, Ridgeland and Canton.
"They put the 5As and 6A schools together this year," said Coach Embry. "Last year, we had to worry about New Hope. But they aren't in our district in slow-pitch. We'll have to take them one game at a time."
The Lady Rockets split two games last week, beating Ridgeland 15-0, and then losing to Neshoba Central.
Against Choctaw Central, Madalyn McMahon hit a two-run homer. Hailey Lunderman added a home run while Katlyn Duke went 4-for-5.
The Philadelphia Lady Tornadoes went 2-1 last week.
They started the week with a 10-3 loss to Newton County, and then bounced back to beat Quitman 7-5, and Winona 15-0.
Precious Sanders, Kambresha Griffin and Marsha Hunt all went 2-for-3 for the Lady Tornadoes in their loss to Newton County.
Philadelphia's win over Quitman was the Lady Panthers' first loss of the season. Hunt went 4-for-4; Alyssa Davis had three singles and Griffin added a double.
Sanders belted a home run for the Lady Tornadoes in their win over Winona. Davis went 3-for-3 while Griffin and Hunt both hit a double.
Leake Academy
The Rebelettes wrapped up their regular season Tuesday at home against Manchester and will be playing the Class AA North Half Tournament starting Saturday at Bayou Academy.
The semifinals and finals will be held next Monday. Eight teams will be entering the tournament with the top four moving on to the state tournament the following weekend.
Last week, the Rebelettes took a win over Oak Hill 10-2. They then entered the Jackson Prep tournament where they scored wins over Copiah Academy 3-2 and Winona 5-0 before being eliminated by East Rankin, 1-0.
Bayly Moss hit two doubles and a single to lead the Rebelettes past Oak Hill. Alahan King was the winning pitcher.
Chloe Thaggard had nine strike outs in the Rebelettes' win over Copiah Academy. Katie Webb hit a double and a single.
Mary Grace Key, Anika Jones and Thaggard all hit a double against Winona.
East Rankin scored one run in the first and the two teams locked into a defensive struggle afterwards. Leake Academy had a 3-2 hitting edge.

Industrial Design Directors in the United States can look forward to a sizeable six-figure salary — around $112K per year on average. Location is the biggest factor affecting pay for this group, followed by career length. Male Industrial Design Directors are far more common among survey respondents than their female counterparts, who typically comprise less than one-third of the field. Most Industrial Design Directors like their work and job satisfaction is high. Nearly all enjoy medical while most get dental coverage. Vision coverage is also available to more than half. This report is based on answers to PayScale's salary questionnaire.

Industrial design directors are responsible for directing and overseeing the correct industrial design processes in their organization. These individuals are in charge of facilitating and reviewing industrial design standards and completing production output. In addition, they provide support to creative tasks, including the concept, the quality assurance processes, and everything in between.Read More...
Some of their main responsibilities include developing and implementing industrial design strategies that will maximize efficiency to minimize use of company resources. They develop products that increase brand loyalty, usability, and recognition in selected markets. They conduct research to identify areas of improvement and increment client satisfaction after implementing product and design changes. Industrial design directors collaborate with other company departments to share knowledge and visual developments during the product creation. They manage a group of industrial design professionals and lead by example in performing different design tasks. They motivate personnel to accomplish company goals under strict deadlines. Additionally, they can multitask effectively, and they can work well on their own or in a team capacity. They use a personal computer loaded with industrial design tools and applications to modify designs, and they utilize specialized programs. Industrial design directors follow strict regulations to prevent design errors and possible legal issues. These directors also participate in design meetings and suggest new changes to the industrial phases and design processes. One of their main duties is allocating resources to manage existing products and create new ones. They usually present their progress to the industrial design vice president in their organization.
A bachelor's degree in industrial design is usually needed for this job. Previous experience in a directing capacity can be helpful. Industry and leadership certifications are a plus.

Sunday Ticket 2013 Pricing announced
Posted 24 July 2013 - 09:17 AM
Posted 24 July 2013 - 09:20 AM
I'm glad you got a deal that made you happy. But I just called D* today and after being a sub since 1998 with NFLST every year ,they wouldn't give me a deal as good as yours. I have never been late paying my bill.
I tried to get transfered to retention but was informed I was still under contract for another 30 days from a HD receiver I added 23 months ago( I didn't know HD receivers were cause for a two yr contract,I thought it was just the HD DVR's ).
I really hate calling and trying to get a deal.
But I'll try again next month . If I don't get a deal for NFLST maybe it's time to looking at cable and Dish options.
No way. Call back and try saying cancel at the voice prompt. If you get asked additional questions and say cancel you will go straight to retention. If you dont get asked additional questions, dont listen to the reps about your 1 month agreement left. Ask for Retention anyway. You will get a deal.

I just called and got a great deal...
NFL ST with Red Zone free (I don't use streaming or watch short cuts, so neither is a loss to me)
$10 off Total Choice Plus for 12 months
$5 off HBO for 6 months
Free Starz for 6 months
I'm really happy with this deal.

I did say "cancel" . And I also asked the csr to transfer me to retention. The CSR said retention couldn't help me because I was still under contract. At this point I just gave up. I will try again .

The CSR kept trying to help me, at one point saying she was going to get her supervisor. That was about the fourth time on the call that I asked to be transferred to retention. I even said, "I really don't need you to assist me, can you please transfer me to retention?" If you get a CSR, they won't just transfer you, they try to help first.

That's baloney. I had to agree to a 2 year commitment in February when I got my Genie for free, but when I called to get ST I had no issues with my commitment status.
Call back. If you say "cancel" and get transferred to a rep right away you are getting a front line rep. Just ask for Customer Retention. If the front line rep insists on helping you, you just have to give them a reason to get to retention. Tell them you're unhappy with the offers you've been given regarding ST and ask for Customer Retention. If you're a customer in good standing they will try to help you as best they can.

DTV customer since 1999 with NFL ST every year. I have Premier, Whole Home, and MLB EI (which I have never asked for credits on). I have gotten "deals" on ST pretty much every year for the past several years, ever since I discovered this site. I just saw the first $49.99 ST renewal charge on my July statement.
Called today, said "retention" at the first prompt. When CSR came on the line, I told him I was looking to get the ST cost reduced in some way. He didn't ask any questions about why, just looked up my account and offered the following:
$18 credit x 12 months off base package (15 + 3 - not sure what these are for exactly, but he split them out this way)
$5 credit x 6 months for paperless billing (I have been on paperless for years, and am just coming off a 3 month, $5 credit for this)
$10 credit x 6 months for HD fee
$25 credit x 6 months for the premium channels ($5 each Showtime, HBO, etc.)
Total credits $456, which works out to $58 in credits for the first 6 months, then $18 for the next 6 months.
He didn't mention anything about a new commitment, but I think I just entered into a new 2 year commitment in May when I got the free Genie upgrade.
Overall, I'm happy, as I am in essence getting NFL ST Max for free, with an additional $156 in credits. This is a better deal than I got last year, which was 50% off ST Max, and $10 credit x 12 months. That was a bottom line of $27.96 for ST Max.
Posted 25 July 2013 - 08:35 PM
Just called Directv about the $6.50 cinemax offer, instead the CSR gave me 4 months of Showtime and free Sunday Ticket with 4 months added to my commitment which is fine because I'm not going anywhere. So free football, Dexter, and Homeland for 10 minute call.

Posted 26 July 2013 - 12:05 PM
Just got off the phone with directv. My contract was up, and said "cancel" and "cancel" at the menus which got me to the retention department (I think). Just mentioned that I wasn't happy with my price I was paying and asked if they had any promotions for me because I could switch to Dish and get all their offers. The agents name was Cassidy, she was super nice, long story short she gave me:
a $45 discount on my monthly bill (basically 1/2 off) for 1 year
6 months of premium movie channels free
ST max free
and if I was willing to sign a 2 year contract she could get me free equipment upgrade to the Genie with free technician installation.
She also told me a little about how the retention department works, and what they can give you depends on what "level" customer you are with them. She said a few things factor into it, like how long you've been a customer, what package you have, and if you've been paying your bill on time. Anyways, the higher the level you're considered, the more they can offer you and she said when you call, your calls get prioritized by that level as well, meaning shorter hold times for higher customers. She almost exclusively deals with "VIP" level costumers and she has a much larger credit allowance to use to give customers stuff. So thats probably another reason why we see different people getting different offers from them. One more thing worth mentioning, she told me that after my discount falls off after this next year, I would be eligible to call and get another promotion added on even though I'd still be in in the middle of my contract. So you definitely don't have to wait for your contract to end before calling to get promotions like this.

Was reading this thread while on hold to discuss a billing question and decided to go ahead and ask. The CSR told me the ST Max price is normally $59.99 for 5 months but I could get the early renewal deal at $49.99 for 6 months. Once I pointed out that the end cost is the same and he verified the prices/length he had to laugh along with me. Very nice CSR but said there was nothing else he could do.

Well after my deal of a few weeks ago I figured id call again and see what else they had. on top of what I got a couple weeks ago, she said she couldn't do the ST MAX free but only half price (which is what I already have plus other credits) but she could give me a 100 dollar visa card for a one year agreement...big deal, I am already on a 2 year agreement for my genie receiver...so I took it for now...now im down to 50 dollars for ST MAX not counting the bill credits...50 to go.....and I still think ill be able to get free by the end of august.

I called today trying to get a discount. No luck. They did their standard "lie" (they may not consider it to be, but that is what it is) that everyone is paying full price and there are no discounts to be had. I didn't feel like arguing with them. I just cancelled Sunday Ticket. Maybe I'll call back in a few weeks and see if there are any discounts if I add it back.
For what little good it will do, I went to the DirecTV web site and sent customer service an email stating how distasteful I find this whole situation where some customers get big discounts or even free service whereas others are told no discounts are available. In my situation I've been with DirecTV 7+ years, have never been late with a payment, and spend about $150 a month with them each month. One of my friends got ST for free this year for no particular reason. He called in to change his programming and they threw that in for free. Makes no sense to me at all.
Posted 26 July 2013 - 08:22 PM
I called today. Couldn't get to retention directly but after the CSR told me the credits he had available for me I just said that I wasn't happy with those discounts and he had no problem transferring me to retentions at my request. I told the lady in retentions the same thing and she got right to work on my account in regards to billing discounts, ST, and a Genie upgrade.
I was not under contract and have been a customer for 5+ yrs. I already had a $10/24 month credit and a $5/12 month credit on my account. She gave me the $15/15 month, $10/24 month (HD), and $6/6 month (Sports) credits along with free ST plus Red Zone. Also got a Genie upgrade with 2 clients plus install for free (I have the protection plan). Very happy!

Took two calls for me today -
1st call - Called to inquire about getting RZ added again. Informed CSR that I had it last year. She said she would look on my acct and add it if she sees it. No Dice. So she transfers me to someone else. Not sure it if was retention. Anyway, 2nd CSR comes on and explain to her about get RZ again this year. Puts me on hold and informs me that that was a special 1 time offer last year. Then proceeded to offer me ST Max for 29.99 for months. I said thanks i'll think about it.
2nd call - 20 min later. Called back and stated "terminate service". and was transferred to Retention. I asked when my contract was ending. He confirmed and then asked if I was shopping around and if I was interested in lowering my bill. I mentioned about having RZ last year and looking to get it again. He then offered ST Max for free and $10 credit for 12 months for 1 yr agreement. He then clearly stated that he is in retention dept and has more leverage to offer long time customers special deals. Since my current contract doesn't expire till Nov 2014, this 1 yr agreement (Jul 2013- Jul 2014) falls within my existing contract, so it has no additional extension.
Politely accepted his offer. Logged into my DTV account and show the $10 credit already, and NFL ST MAX upgrades at $0.00. The second call was way to easy.
Looking forward to Sept 8th
Posted 27 July 2013 - 06:42 PM
Got ST Max for free last year.
Called and got:
$10/6m-Sports Package
$20/6m-HBO/Starz/Max/something else
$10/1y-HD Extra
Got ST Max for half price and then $50 off for paying the half price.
So $300 off for the year, but paying $97 for ST Max.
I'll call back in 6m to get those other discounts re-added.
Oh also got the Genie upgrade.

My contract was up last November (received a free Genie upgrade, client and $20 / month off for a year) so I was not expecting much when calling to cancel the auto renewal of the Sunday Ticket Max. Spoke with a first level customer service rep and politely told her I wanted to cancel and speak with customer retentions. She was very polite about it and did so with no questions asked. Told the retentions lady I wanted to cancel ST Max and to please remove the autopay $50 charge on my credit card. She immediately said no problem and then offered the ST Max for half off (which I accepted a year ago). Told her I mainly only watched the Red Zone station (which is the truth) and she says you can have the ST Max for free for a one year commitment which she confirmed would not extend my contract. I asked if there were any other discounts and she gave me credits similar to what others here got ($15 off for 15 months, $10 off for 6 months, 1/2 off Cinemax (which almost makes it free with the current $6.50 / month promo) for 6 months. The call from start to finish was ten minutes.

I believe the first week is free. you even get max free the first week. Then I plan on calling for a deal. Who were you speaking with, regular customer service or retention? regular hardly do anything but they sometimes can be the nicest people especially the ones from the Utah branch.

Ok, called retention direct and this time they gave me the ST Max package for 4 payments of $36.99 which matches what I got last year. Its essentially half price. I already got several of the credit packages 2 months ago so all in all I'm happy.

I called today and spoke to what the lady told me was customer retention and after telling her I wanted to cancel my ST she said ok give me a few mins. Which she did and never even asked why I wanted to cancel or what D* could do to keep me. So as of now my ST is no more for this year. I kind of like the idea " streatordogs09 " had. Watch the 1st week free and then call and see what happens. After I told her to cancel I wasnt going to change my mind once she did not offer any discounts and went right into cancel mode. Guess she showed me what for !!

Would be quite happy with that deal !! I have 2 months left on my current contract and I even asked her to verify that hoping she might offer up some kind of break. Nope, not at all just continued on with canceling me out. That's the luck I have :-)

From a master of the historical novel, Empress Orchid sweeps readers into the heart of the Forbidden City to tell the fascinating story of a young concubine who becomes China's last empress. Min introduces the beautiful Tzu Hsi, known as Orchid, and weaves an epic of a country girl who seized power through seduction, murder, and endless intrigue. When China is threatened by enemies, she alone seems capable of holding the country together.
In this "absorbing companion piece to her novel Becoming Madame Mao" (New York Times), readers and reading groups will once again be transported by Min's lavish evocation of the Forbidden City in its last days of imperial glory and by her brilliant portrait of a flawed yet utterly compelling woman who survived, and ultimately dominated, a male world.

Read an Excerpt
My imperial life began with a smell. A rotten smell that came from my father's coffin—he had been dead for two months and we were still carrying him, trying to reach Peking, his birthplace, for burial. My mother was frustrated. "My husband was the governor of Wuhu," she said to the footmen whom we had hired to bear the coffin. "Yes, madam," the head footman answered humbly, "and we sincerely wish the governor a good journey home." In my memory, my father was not a happy man. He had been repeatedly demoted because of his poor performance in the suppression of the Taiping peasant uprisings. Not until later did I learn that my father was not totally to blame. For years China had been dogged by famine and foreign aggression. Anyone who tried on my father's shoes would understand that carrying out the Emperor's order to restore peace in the countryside was impossible—peasants saw their lives as no better than death.
I witnessed my father's struggles and sufferings at a young age. I was born and raised in Anhwei, the poorest province in China. We didn't live in poverty, but I was aware that my neighbors had eaten earthworms for dinner and had sold their children to pay off debts. My father's slow journey to hell and my mother's effort to fight it occupied my childhood. Like a long- armed cricket my mother tried to block a carriage from running over her family.
The summer heat baked the path. The coffin was carried in a tilted position because the footmen were of different heights. Mother imagined how uncomfortable my father must be lying inside. We walked in silence and listened to the sound of our broken shoes tapping the dirt. Swarms of flies chased the coffin. Each time the footmen paused for a break the flies covered the lid like a blanket. Mother asked my sister Rong, my brother Kuei Hsiang and me to keep the flies away. But we were too exhausted to lift our arms. We had been traveling north along the Grand Canal on foot because we had no money to hire a boat. My feet were covered with blisters. The landscape on both sides of the path was bleak. The water in the canal was low and dirt- brown. Beyond it were barren hills, which extended mile after mile. There were fewer inns to be seen. The ones that we did come upon were infested with lice.
"You'd better pay us," the head footman said to Mother when he heard her complaint that her wallet was near empty, "or you will have to carry the coffin yourselves, madam." Mother began to sob again and said that her husband didn't deserve this. She gained no sympathy. The next dawn the footmen abandoned the coffin.
Mother sat down on a rock by the road. She had a ring of sores sprouting around her mouth. Rong and Kuei Hsiang discussed burying our father where he was. I didn't have the heart to leave him in a place without a tree in sight. Although I was not my father's favorite at first —he was disappointed that I, his firstborn, was not a son—he did his best in raising me. It was he who insisted that I learn to read. I had no formal schooling, but I developed enough of a vocabulary to figure out the stories of the Ming and Ch'ing classics.
At the age of five I thought that being born in the Year of the Sheep was bad luck. I told my father that my friends in the village said that my birth sign was an inauspicious one. It meant that I would be slaughtered.
Father disagreed. "The sheep is a most adorable creature," he said. "It is a symbol of modesty, harmony and devotion." He explained that my birth sign was in fact strong. "You have a double ten in the numbers. You were born on the tenth day of the tenth moon, which fell on the twenty-ninth of November 1835. You can't be luckier!" Also having doubts regarding my being a sheep, Mother brought in a local astrologer to consult. The astrologer believed that double ten was too strong. "Too full," the old hag said, which meant "too easily spilled." "Your daughter will grow up to be a stubborn sheep, which means a miserable end!" The astrologer talked excitedly as white spittle gathered at the corners of her mouth. "Even an emperor would avoid ten, in fear of its fullness!" Finally, at the suggestion of the astrologer, my parents gave me a name that promised I would "bend." This was how I was called Orchid.
Mother told me later that orchids had also been the favorite subject of my father's ink paintings. He liked the fact that the plant stood green in all seasons and its flower was elegant in color, graceful in form and sweet in scent.
My father's name was Hui Cheng Yehonala. When I close my eyes, I can see my old man standing in a gray cotton gown. He was slender with Confucian features. It is hard to imagine from his gentle look that his Yehoonala ancestors were Manchu Bannermen who lived on horseback. Father told me that they were originally from the Nu Cheng people in the state of Manchuria, in northern China between Mongolia and Korea. The name Yehonala meant that our roots could be traced to the Yeho tribe of the Nala clan in the sixteenth century. My ancestors fought shoulder to shoulder with the Bannerman leader Nurhachi, who conquered China in 1644 and became the first Emperor of the Ch'ing Dynasty. The Ch'ing had now entered its seventh generation. My father inherited the title of Manchu Bannerman of the Blue Rank, although the title gave him little but honor.
When I was ten years old my father became the taotai, or governor, of a small town called Wuhu, in Anhwei province. I have fond memories of that time, although many consider Wuhu a terrible place. During the summer months the temperature stayed above one hundred degrees, day and night. Other governors hired coolies to fan their children, but my parents couldn't afford one. Each morning my sheet would be soaked with sweat. "You wet the bed!" my brother would tease.
Nevertheless, I loved Wuhu as a child. The lake there was part of the great Yangtze River, which drove through China carving out gorges, shaggy crags, and valleys thick with ferns and grasses. It descended into a bright, broad, richly watered plain where vegetables, rice and mosquitoes all thrived. It flowed on until it met the East China Sea at Shanghai. Wuhu meant "the lake of a luxuriant growth of weeds." Our house, the governor's mansion, had a gray ceramic-tile roof with the figures of gods standing at the four corners of the tilted eaves. Every morning I would walk to the lake to wash my face and brush my hair. My reflection in the water was mirror-clear. We drank from and bathed in the river. I played with my siblings and neighbors on the slick backs of buffalo. We did fish-and-frog jumps. The long bushy weeds were our favorite hiding places. We snacked on the hearts of sweet water plants called chiao-pai.
In the afternoon, when the heat became unbearable, I would organize the children to help cool the house. My sister and brother would fill buckets, and I would pull them up to the roof where I poured the water over the tiles. We would go back to the water afterward. P'ieh, bamboo rafts, floated by. They came down the river like a giant loose necklace. My friends and I would hop onto the rafts for rides. We joined the raft men singing songs. My favorite tune was "Wuhu Is a Wonderful Place." At sunset Mother would call us home. Dinner was set on a table in the yard under a trellis covered with purple wisteria.
My mother was raised the Chinese way, although she was a Manchu by blood. According to Mother, after the Manchus conquered China they discovered that the Chinese system of ruling was more benevolent and efficient, and they adopted it fully. The Manchu emperors learned to speak Mandarin. Emperor Tao Kuang ate with chopsticks. He was an admirer of Peking opera and he hired Chinese tutors to teach his children. The Manchus also adopted the Chinese way of dressing. The only thing that stayed Manchu was the hairstyle. The Emperor had a shaved forehead and a rope- like braid of black hair down his back called a queue. The Empress wore her hair with a thin black board fastened on top of her head displaying ornaments.
My grandparents on my mother's side were brought up in the Ch'an, or Zen, religion, a combination of Buddhism and Taoism. My mother was taught the Ch'an concept of happiness, which was to find satisfaction in small things. I was taught to appreciate the fresh air in the morning, the color of leaves turning red in autumn and the water's smoothness when I soaked my hands in the basin.
My mother didn't consider herself educated, but she adored Li Po, a Tang Dynasty poet. Each time she read his poems she would discover new meanings. She would put down her book and gaze out the window. Her goose-egg-shaped face was stunningly beautiful.
Mandarin Chinese was the language I spoke as a child. Once a month we had a tutor who came to teach us Manchu. I remember nothing about the classes but being bored. I wouldn't have sat through the lessons if it hadn't been to please my parents. Deep down I knew that my parents were not serious about having us master the Manchu language. It was only for the appearance, so my mother could say to her guests, "Oh, my children are taking Manchu." The truth was that Manchu was not useful. It was like a dead river that nobody drank from.
I was crazy about Peking operas. Again, it was my mother's influence. She was such an enthusiast that she saved for the entire year so she could hire a local troupe for an in-house performance during the Chinese New Year. Each year the troupe presented a different opera.My mother invited all the neighbors and their children to join us. When I turned twelve the troupe performed Hua Mulan.
I fell in love with the woman warrior, Hua Mulan. After the show I went to the back of our makeshift stage and emptied my wallet to tip the actress, who let me try on her costume. She even taught me the aria "Goodbye, My Dress." For the rest of the month people as far as a mile from the lake could hear me singing "Goodbye, My Dress." My father took pleasure in telling the background to the operas. He loved to show off his knowledge. He reminded us that we were Manchus, the ruling class of China. "It is the Manchus who appreciate and promote Chinese art and culture." When liquor took hold of my father's spirit, he would become more animated. He would line up the children and quiz us on the details of the ancient Bannerman system. He wouldn't quit until every child knew how each Bannerman was identified by his rank, such as Bordered, Plain, White, Yellow, Red and Blue.
One day my father brought out a scroll map of China. China was like the crown of a hat ringed by countries eager and accustomed to pledging their fealty to the Son of Heaven, the Emperor. Among the countries were Laos, Siam and Burma to the south; Nepal to the west; Korea, the Ryukyu Islands and Sulu to the east and southeast; Mongolia and Turkestan to the north and northwest.
Years later, when I recalled the scene, I understood why my father showed us the map. The shape of China was soon to change. By the time my father met his fate, during the last few years of Emperor Tao Kuang, the peasant revolts had worsened. In the midst of a summer drought, my father didn't come home for months. My mother worried about his safety, for she had heard news from a neighboring province about angry peasants setting their governor's mansion on fire. My father had been living in his office and trying to control the rebels. One day an edict arrived. To everyone's shock the Emperor dismissed him.
Father came home deeply shamed. He shut himself in the study and refused visitors. Within a year his health broke down. It didn't take him long to die. Our doctor bills piled up even after his death. My mother sold all of the family possessions, but we still couldn't clear the debts. Yesterday Mother sold her last item: her wedding souvenir from my father, a butterfly hairpin made of green jade.
Before leaving us, the footmen carried the coffin to the bank of the Grand Canal so we could see the passing boats, where we might get help. The heat worsened and the air grew still. The smell of decay from the coffin grew stronger. We spent the night under the open sky, tormented by the heat and mosquitoes. My siblings and I could hear one another's stomachs rumbling.
I woke at dawn and heard the clattering of a horse's hooves in the distance. I thought I was dreaming. In no time a rider appeared in front of me. I felt dizzy with fatigue and hunger. The man dismounted and walked straight toward me. Without saying a word he presented me with a package tied with ribbon. He said it was from the taotai of the local town. Startled, I ran to my mother, who opened the package. Inside were three hundred taels of silver.
"The taotai must be a friend of your father's!" Mother cried. With the help of the rider we hired back our footmen. But our good luck didn't last. A few miles down the canal we were stopped by a group of men on horses led by the taotai himself. "A mistake has been made," he said. "My rider delivered the taels to the wrong family." Hearing this, Mother fell to her knees.
The taotai's men took back the taels.
Exhaustion suddenly overwhelmed me and I fell on my father's coffin.
The taotai walked to the coffin and squatted as if studying the grains of the wood. He was a stocky man with rough features. A moment later he turned to me. I expected him to speak but he didn't.
"You are not a Chinese, are you?" he finally asked. His eyes were on my unbound feet.
"No, sir," I replied. "I am Manchu." "How old are you? Fifteen?" "Seventeen." He nodded. His eyes continued to travel up and down, examining me.
"The road is filled with bandits," he said. "A pretty girl like you should not be walking." "But my father needs to go home." My tears ran.
The taotai took my hand and placed the silver taels in my palm. "My respects to your father." I never forgot about the taotai. After I became the Empress of China I sought him out. I made an exception to promote him. I made him a provincial governor, and he was given a handsome pension for the rest of his life.

In regards to the last anonomous reviwer, this book is classified as a fiction. Min has every right to express or portay Empress Orchid in her view. However, you seemed almost convinced (maybe even brainwashed from Chinese history which tends to blame everything on the women) that it is Empress Orchid is a negative person. For example, how many thousands of years has the women been responsible to bring sons to the family and it is still going on today!!! Look at all the babies girls being thrown away just so families can have a son to bear their last name! Yet, it was never the sons fault!!! Bound by tradition, Orchid fought her way to save China, and try to help her son become Emperor. Perhaps it was ShunShim that poisoned Guang-Xsu? How was it provened it was Empress Orchid? Please enlighten us with your fact!!! Dont forget, its a fictional novel! Either you enjoy it for its sensitivity, or you are just ONE-Minded!
The elaborate details of the Qing Dynasty¿s court life and etiquette made this book extremely enjoyable as I have been very interested in this particular dynasty since I was young. Moreover, this book was written in the form of Cixi¿s autobiography, making it even more intriguing as you can imagine yourself to be in her shoes and think the same thoughts as she did. However, there are some inaccurate historical details in this book that left me quite fustrated such as how Lin Zhe Xu destroyed opium after the Opium Wars. In Anchee Min¿s book, he set fire to 20000 cases of opium and that the burning pit was as large as a lake. That is the most common misconception anyone can ever have about the Opium Wars. Commissioner Lin did not set fire to the opium cases, he in fact dissolved the opium into sea after chemically treating it with sulphur, etc such that it could no longer serve as an addicitve drug. That was the biggest sorepoint of the entire book.
I gave this book 3 stars because it did keep me entertained and was a fast read at the airport. However, many story lines were left without a conclusion - for example: I spanked the Emperor and now I would be punished - then nothing - was she punished? How? There are also some unjustified pseudo-passions that lead to nothing. An admirer risks getting sealed in the Emperor's grave while she is deciding whether to live or die. Really silly.
This is an interesting peek into the life of what it must have been like for a woman chosen as a concubine - or wife - of a Chinese Emperor. She has to bend with the whims of her husband, who is shared amongst as many partners as he pleases. She may not even be able to raise her own son, if she is not the #1 wife, designated as Empress. Also a very intriguing historical read of the frustrations of the Chinese court and the inability of the emperor in the mid-1800s to stop the invasion economic control of foreigners into his own domain.
entertaining and easy to read, great to learn more about imperial life in the XIX century China.
I love to read a book that transports you into the story. This book does that beautifully. I was no longer in my humble home in south east Texas, I was walking in lavish gardens and gilded halls of the Forbidden City. Anchee Min holds her readers captive from the first page to the last. I never wanted this book to end. One of my new favorites.
One of my favorites
Very interesting story. The author (Anchee Min) did a fantastic job of bringing history to life. She managed to paint a clear picture of imperial life and custom, as well as the general political atmosphere of China at the time. Empress Tzu Hsi is a rather controversial historical figure, and Min did a great job of advocating for a perspective of Tzu Hsi that is not often considered, while still sticking to historical accuracy. The pages were packed with well researched history, yet there was not a feeling of being overwhelmed by boring facts. I really enjoyed this book, and learned a great deal from it.
I for one am very disappointed in the style of writing. I love to read stories about china and japan. I have read almost all of Lisa See's books and would recommend them over Anchee Min any day of the week.
I enjoyed this book very much. very entertaining.
I read this book awhile ago. So forgive me for not getting into so many details as I would like. But I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading about different cultures. But its very well written. I couldn't put it down. And that I can remember.
I didnt want it to end......
This book covers an interesting historical period in Chinese history, and I was fascinated by Min's description of the Forbidden City. Given all that she endured and accomplished, the main character should have been interesting, but instead her voice is very flat and her relationships with other characters remain one-dimensional. I skipped the last 40 pages or so - really didn't care what happened to the narrator.
Really enjoyed this amazing story
If u like this read the twenty first wife

2. Who played the black pieces in this rapid game from 2012, beating world #1 Magnus Carlsen?
3. Can you name this chess Grandmaster pictured at a tournament in 2012?
4. What was the price of a ticket to the 2012 Istanbul Chess Olympiad's Bermuda party?
5. After six moves of a very strange chess game, the position below has been reached. Can you work out the moves of the game (6 moves for both players)?
6. Which Grandmaster broke the record for appearances at chess Olympiads when he represented his country for the 21st time at the 2012 competition in Istanbul?

8. This year Chess.com's very own David Pruess and Danny Rensch moonlighted as chess consultants during the filming of a new movie. What is the working title of the movie, and who was the big Hollywood star in the cast?
9. Can you name these two cosmonauts taking time out to play a game of chess before their flight?
10. Name this player describing their emotions after a chess game..."When I lose, I'm in pain. It's not depression but a crappy why-am-I-so-dumb? feeling. It passes quickly if I get away from the tournament hall and watch a movie, have a glass of wine, or spend time with friends who aren't in the chess world. When I win, though, the glow stays with me."
11. Judit Polgar wasn't the only woman to play in the Open section at the 2012 Chess Olympiad in Istanbul. Which Georgian-born Grandmaster represented her adopted home country for the second time, having earned her final GM norm at the 2008 Olympiad in Dresden?

13.The chess position below featured in a major Hollywood movie. What was the name of the movie and what were the final moves of the game?
14. Some say the best chess player in the world is the player ranked at #1 on FIDE's official rating lists. Others say that it is the world champion, by definition. Often this is the same player! But have there been any official world champions since the inception of FIDE ratings (not counting the FIDE KO events) who were not ranked #1 at least once during their reign? If so, who?
15. The position below is from a game played in 2012. Can you name the rising young star who was playing with the black pieces, and what was his stunning next move?
16. When Vishy Anand successfully defended his world chess championship title in May this year there were grumblings about the number of draws in the match. But which match of all the official world chess championship matches featured the fewest draws?
17. Who is this smiling man, and what is his most famous connection to chess?
18. Who am I? I started playing chess at 13 years of age after my older brother qualified for a Chess Olympiad. Within 2 years I had won my national under-16 championship. Now aged 33, I am the highest ranked player in my country and recently earned my third GM norm at the 2012 Olympiad.
Yeah, took me about 15 mins, not an easy one at all
I didn't get #5 either. But I thought about 10-15 minutes.
Just got #5, was beginning to think it was impossible, it's brilliant!
Well I'm an almost-professional, IM-elect and I could answer only 11 out of 18 questions, so it's isn't absolutely true that it's much easier for titled players :)
when is the "early in the new year" I'm so excited for the answers & the winners good luck to all!! & Merry Christmas =)
@ JustinLuti - 2007 - Although I think most of the answers to that question could probably be guessed without resorting to replicating the process!
@ SonofPearl
Auto-correct... which version of Word? It could prove decisive!
Uh, seeing as Mdm Pogonina is a chess.com contributor/staff writer, and is aleady a well-known titled player ...
should she not be graciously asked to exclude herself from this menial competition and leave it to ordinary folks like me?
These are impossible!!!
oddly looking up one of the answers in google, a game of mine popped up on the interwebs. that creeped me out. great questions btw.
got em all...i hope.
Has someone gotten all the answers yet??
@ ShockeR_40 For Q7: The software Microsoft Word has an 'autocorrect' feature. When it doesn't recognize a word it suggests another in its dictionary which is close. Sometimes it suggests words for people's names - the questions are the suggestions it gives for the names of some well known chess players.
Whoa, this Quiz is really hard!
Can someone give me a clue to #8 and #10 pleasseee :)
I just want to know the answer to 15!
And of course Natalia knows who #17 is.... ;)
Magnus Carlsen
Well as for #10, at least we know it can't be Anand because he doesn't drink wine!
The only question I am having trouble with is #10. Many of my friends can relate to such a lifestyle

It happened in Vegas... A sizzling encounter that turned into a scorching biweekly affair. How he'd ended up in bed with a woman like Robin was still a mystery to Paul. One minute they were riding the same elevator and the next he was riding her, the attraction so fierce and immediate he couldn't remember how they reached his room or even shed their clothes. But when Robin suggested they take their relationship to the next level, Paul panicked, prompting her to walk out on him with her head held high and his heart in her hands. Four months later, he's got her in an elevator again, ready and willing, but with her emotions tucked safely away. He's got one shot to prove that what happened in Vegas can happen anywhere in the world, for the rest of their lives. (4,500 words - not including the additional short story, "Salacious Robinson" - 800 words)

Brief SummaryRead full entry
BiologyThe Madagascar sacred ibis can be found wading through areas of shallow water within its habitat, the long, slender legs raising the body well above the water level (3). When feeding, the Madagascar sacred ibis extends its sinuous neck down to the water and uses its elongated bill to probe above or within the sediment for small invertebrates such as worms, snails and crustaceans (2) (3). It may also take small vertebrates such as frogs and reptiles (1). The Madagascar sacred ibis breeds in colonies, which are often found mixed amongst the breeding colonies of various heron species. The ibis constructs a small nest from twigs, in which it lays a clutch of two eggs. The nest is usually situated in a tree, although, on Aldabra, the Madagascar sacred ibis may also position its nest on the ground (2).

93 Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - May/June 2013
(from the F Block, the same parcel that goes into the Kongsgaard chardonnay): Bright yellow. Aromas of mirabelle and medicinal herbs; smells a bit like Chartreuse. Surprisingly big, rich and sweet but with terrific acidity giving cut to the intense lemon curd, wet stone and wild herb flavors. Superb texture and energy here. Finishes with palate-staining length. The rainfall on June 3 and 4 drastically cut the potential size of the crop here, and the harvest took place very early, on September 7.
