A very busy day!
... on the Gulf of Finland.
Two things I must mention. Firstly the weather has been magnificent with brilliant sunshine since our arrival and day temperatures in the low to mid 20s. Amazing!!
Also last night one poor couple had a section of the ceiling in their room collapse to the floor with a crash at midnight, missing the husband by moments. They said it would have been 2x 3 feet.
Must get some sleep. Love to all. Xx
Trans Siberian
... but the taxi driver had told us "it isn't there right now with all that is going on" which was a slightly more than worrying comment! He also warned us that the forecast was heavy rain. I said to Michi that it didn't matter as we have good wet weather gear, let's just go - "don't be so soft" to quote the leader on our Arctic trip who used to go on deck in bare feet, t-shirts and shorts in freezing temperatures looking for the ...

We had a look and got a picture of an old locomotive supplied by the USA during WWII as part of the Lend-Lease Act in 1942 to provide military supply for the war effort. The train station itself is an impressive old building. Next we stopped at the airport express train office to find ...

After our day in Mongolia we once again made the border crossing. The hours were a bit better this time, reaching the Mongolia border at 6.45 am. The only problem is that while you are at the borders you are not allowed to have a shower as the shower water is released directly onto the tracks, and we assume they check under the trains at the crossings. This meant we had to get up early to have our showers before we arrived at the crossing. Once again Mongolia ...

Mother Of Mercy
I don't own DBZ
Life, what was the point anymore? Why was it ever worth it? For him the only escape from the hells of life was when he closed his eyes at night and hoped for a better day. It was all because he was weak, a low class worthless piece of trash. Or at least that's what he was told. What else was he to think? For every family member he once had, a tombstone had eventually taken their place. The only person he shared any connections with was his mother.
"Why God? Why do I have to be the one to still be alive?" The little boy cried with his hands clasped together. Thankfully there was no one near him or this would only result in another beating from a slightly superior.
"Why have you taken everyone away from me!? I'm only 5 years old! It shouldn't be this way." He shifted his legs that were shackled together so they wouldn't scrape against the cement floors and cut him again.

What is a Judge?
Also known as: Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Supreme Court Judge, Hanging Judge, Senior Judge, Chief Judge, Probate Judge, Trial Judge, Presiding Judge, District Judge, Court of Appeals Judge, Circuit Judge, County Judge, Circuit Court Judge, Superior Court Judge, District Court Judge, Magistrate Judge.
Table of Contents
Judges apply the law to court cases and oversee the legal process in courts. They also resolve administrative disputes and facilitate negotiations between opposing parties. Most judges are employed in the various levels of government. Most work in courts, and the majority work full time.
How to Become a Judge
What does a Judge do?
Judges typically do the following:
- Research legal issues
- Read and evaluate information from documents such as motions, claim applications, or records
- Preside over hearings and listen to or read arguments by opposing parties
- Determine if the information presented supports the charge, claim, or dispute
- Decide if the procedure is being conducted according to the rules and law
- Analyze, research, and apply laws, regulations, or precedents to reach judgments, conclusions, or agreements
- Write opinions, decisions, or instructions regarding the case, claim, or dispute
Judges commonly preside over trials or hearings of cases regarding nearly every aspect of society, from individual traffic offences to issues concerning the rights of large corporations. They listen to arguments and determine whether the evidence presented deserves a trial. In criminal cases, they may decide that people charged with crimes should be held in jail until the trial, or they may set conditions for their release. They also approve search and arrest warrants.
Judges interpret the law to determine how a trial will proceed, which is particularly important when unusual circumstances arise for which standard procedures have not been established. They ensure that hearings and trials are conducted fairly and the legal rights of all involved parties are protected.
In trials in which juries are selected to decide the case, judges instruct jurors on applicable laws and direct them to consider the facts from the evidence. For other trials, judges decide the case.
A judge who determines guilt in criminal cases may impose a sentence or penalty on the guilty party. In civil cases, the judge may award relief, such as compensation for damages, to the parties who win the lawsuit. Some judges, such as appellate court judges, review decisions and records made by lower courts, and make decisions based on lawyers' written and oral arguments.
Judges use various forms of technology, such as electronic databases and software, to manage cases and prepare for trials. In some cases, they also may manage the court's administrative and clerical staff.
Types of Judges:
- Bankruptcy Judge
- Probate Judge
- Trial Judge
- Presiding Judge
- Magistrate Judge
- Family Law Judge
- Superior Court Judge
- District Court Judge
- Chief Judge
- Senior Judge
- Circuit Judge
- Court of Appeals Judge

Would you make a good judge? Sokanu's free assessment reveals how compatible you are with a career across 5 dimensions!
How to become a Judge
Judges are required to have a law degree and work experience as a lawyer. Getting a law degree usually takes seven years of full-time study after high school—four years of undergraduate study, followed by three years of law school. Law degree programs include courses such as constitutional law, contracts, property law, civil procedure, and legal writing.
Additionally, most judges must be either appointed or elected into judge positions, a procedure that often takes political support. Many judges are appointed to serve fixed renewable terms, ranging from four years to 14 years. A few judges, such as appellate court judges, are appointed for life.
Judicial nominating commissions screen candidates for judgeships in many local jurisdictions and for some federal judgeships. Some judges are elected to a specific term, commonly four years. All jurisdictions have some type of orientation for newly elected or appointed judges.
What is the workplace of a Judge like?
Judges do most of their work in offices and courtrooms. Their jobs can be demanding because they must sit in the same position in the court or hearing room for long periods and give undivided attention to the process.

Hydraulic redistribution
Hydraulic redistribution refers to the mechanism by which some vascular plants redistribute soil water. It occurs in vascular plants that commonly have roots in both wet soil and extremely dry soil, especially plants with both taproots that grow vertically down to the water table, and lateral roots that sit close to the surface.
Hot, dry periods, when the surface soil dries out to the extent that the lateral roots exude whatever water they contain, will result in the death of such lateral roots unless the water is replaced. Similarly, under extreme wet conditions when lateral roots are inundated by flood waters, oxygen deprivation will also lead to root peril. In plants that exhibit hydraulic redistribution, there are xylem pathways from the taproots to the laterals, such that the absence or abundance of water at the laterals creates a pressure potential analogous to that of transpirational pull. In drought conditions, ground water is drawn up through the taproot to the laterals and exuded into the surface soil, replenishing that which was lost. Under flooding conditions, plant roots perform a similar function in the opposite direction. For a visualization of this process, see "Hydraulic Redistribution Cartoon," Dawson Lab, UC Berkeley, CA
Though often referred to as hydraulic lift, movement of water by the plant roots has been shown to occur in any direction.[1][2][3] This phenomenon has been documented in over sixty plant species spanning a variety of plant types (from herb and grasses to shrubs and trees)[4][5][6] and over a range of environmental conditions (from the Kalahari Desert to the Amazon Rainforest).[4][5][7][8]
The movement of this water can be explained by the theory of water transport through a plant. This well established theory is called the cohesion-tension theory. In brief, it states that movement of water through the plant depends on having a continuous column of water, from the roots to the leaves. Water is then pulled from the roots to the leaves, through the plant system, by the difference in water potential between the boundary layers of the soil and the atmosphere. Therefore, the driving force for moving water through a plant is the cohesive strength of water molecules and a pressure gradient from the roots to the leaves. This theory can still be applied when the boundary layer to the atmosphere is closed, e.g. when plant stomata are closed or in senesced plants.[9] The pressure gradient is between soil layers with different water potentials; water moves through the roots from wetter to drier soil layers in the same manner as it does when the plant is transpiring.
The ecological importance of hydraulically redistributed water is becoming better understood as this phenomenon is more carefully examined. Water redistribution by plant roots has been found influencing crop irrigation, where watering schemes leave a harsh heterogeneity in soil moisture. The plant roots have been shown to smooth or homogenize the soil moisture. This sort of smoothing out of soil moisture is important in maintaining plant root health. The redistribution of water from deep moist layers to shallow drier layers by large trees has shown to increase the moisture available in the daytime to meet the transpiration demand.
The implications of hydraulic redistribution seem to have an important influence on plant ecosystems. Whether or not plants redistribute water through the soil layers can affect plant population dynamics, such as the facilitation of neighboring species.[10] The increase in available daytime soil moisture can also offset low transpiration rates due to drought (see also drought rhizogenesis) or alleviate competition for water between competing plant species. Water redistributed to the near surface layers may also influence plant nutrient availability.[11]
Observations and modeling[edit]
Due to the ecological significance of hydraulically redistributed water, there is an ongoing effort to continue the categorization of plants exhibiting this behaviour and adapting this physiological process into land-surface models to improve model predictions.
Traditional methods of observating hydraulic redistribution include Deuterium isotope traces,[3][5][8][12] sap flow,[4][7][13][14] and soil moisture.[2][5][15][16] In attempts to characterize the magnitude of the water redistributed, numerous models (both empirically and theoretically based) have been developed.[17]

By Tom Regan
In 1975, Peter Singer published Animal Liberation. The book was (and continues to be) heralded by many as the "bible of the animal rights movement." This is unfortunate. Not only does this cede to Animal Liberation a status it does not enjoy; it gives to Singer an authority he does not deserve.
The Philosophy of Animal Rights
The animal rights movement is abolitionist in its aspirations. At the heart of the movement's ideology is the belief in fundamental moral rights. What matters most is whether humans and other animals are treated with respect, not what good consequences are secured by failing to do so. "The end does not justify the means" is a moral truth that applies beyond the boundaries of our species.
Singer's Philosophy
All this Singer denies. As a utilitarian, he believes that right and wrong depend on how much satisfaction results from our actions, an outlook that leads him to accept many practices that advocates of animal rights reject.
For example, given his utilitarianism, there is nothing wrong in principle if animals are raised to be eaten. If farmed animals live a good life, are killed "humanely," and are replaced by new animals who will be treated in the same way, satisfaction is optimized, so no wrong is done.
Singer on Bestiality
Never before has it been more important to note the vast distance that separates the author of Animal Liberation from animal rights. In a recent review of Midas Dekkers's Dearest Pet (the review appeared in the online sex magazine Nerve.com), Singer explains why, to his way of thinking, having sex with animals need not be such a bad thing.
Granted, sex involving cruelty to animals is wrong. But, Singer notes, "sex with animals does not always involve cruelty." In fact, when done "in private," "mutually satisfying [sexual] activities" involving animals and humans "may develop." In these cases, consistent with his utilitarian philosophy, Singer can find no wrong.
Why Bestiality is Wrong
No serious advocate of animal rights can agree. And none can agree because none uses Singer's utilitarian standard as their moral standard. As already noted, for animal rights advocates, more than consequences matter.
Consider sex with infants. Animal rightists do not say that, when done "in private" there is nothing wrong with "mutually satisfying [sexual] activities" involving adults and infants. Rather, we say that there is something wrong in engaging in such activities in the first place.
A baby cannot give informed consent. A baby cannot say "yes." Or "no." In the nature of the case, engaging in sexual activities with infants must be coercive, must display a lack of respect, thus must be wrong.
Bestiality is no different. Animal rightists do not say that, when done "in private," there is nothing wrong with "mutually satisfying [sexual] activities" involving humans and animals. Rather, we say that there is something wrong in engaging in such activities in the first place.
An animal cannot give informed consent. An animal cannot say "yes." Or "no." In the nature of the case, engaging in sexual activities with animals must be coercive, must display a lack of respect, thus must be wrong.
Animal rights advocates are not here paying irrational homage to out-dated sexual taboos or parading their sexual prudishness. Engaging in "mutually satisfying [sexual] activities" is one of life's finest pleasures. By all means, then, the more such activities, the better . . . provided that those who participate are able to give or withhold their informed consent. The end of mutual satisfaction never justifies the means of sexual coercion.
So before we are treated to the all but certain avalanche of outrage and ridicule showered on partisans of animal rights because of Peter Singer's musings regarding sex with animals, let this much be clear: Peter Singer does not speak for animal rights — or for any of us who believe in them.

The Vote
We remember the year that Margret Heinz won. The memory refuses to be mulled in with the rest, unable to be blotted away in the unending current of identicalness, despite our desperate efforts to do just that. Forgetting makes it easier, forgetting allows us to get on with our lives, to cope with the things we have done. None of us are proud of this, but it is our way of life, entwined into our very being. It is how we survive, how we always have survived. We are what we are supposed to be, what we have to be, and we spend our whole lives trying not to disrupt this careful image we have crafted. No one wants to be the stone tossed into the glassy lake, to disrupt the serenity with coarse, unwelcome ripples.
Some of us don't get a choice but to be this stone.
Margret Heinz's husband had always seemed like a very nice man, certainly one of us. He would wave to you if you walked by as he watered his daffodils, say hello if you met him at the mailbox, give you a smile if you passed him on the sidewalk. Friendly enough to not be discounted, but distant enough to remain inconspicuous. He had perfected the art of complete inconspicuousness, achieved the perfect balance that all of us aspired to attain for ourselves. Though it was hardly surprising, as he was a man of some sixty years, and one does not make it that far without gaining some experience. So, as one might expect, it was a complete shock to us when Mr. Heinz suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Government agents had been the first sign that something was wrong at the Heinz household, appearing one morning with their dark, pressed suits, eyes hidden behind black-tinted sunglasses. We pretended not to notice, went about our business like nothing was happening, but we questioned the presence of the men within the relative safety of our own minds. There were three of them, identical in every way, moving in unison as they approached the home of Mr. and Mrs. Heinz. Some of us saw Mrs. Heinz open the door, heard what the men in the suits asked. Mr. Heinz had gone missing and they were here to investigate.
The agents entered the premises, the shocked look on Mrs. Heinz's face unable to be hidden before it was noticed. The door shut slowly behind her while we watched from the corners of our eyes as we walked our dogs or mowed our lawns. They stayed there all day, the door remaining shut and drapes folded uncharacteristically over the windows, forcing any casual look at the Heinz's house away. Eventually, late in the evening, the door opened and the agents exited, getting into their black car and driving away, disappearing like they had never been there.

Spring is in the air
Dear Master Gardener:
Is spring the best time to prune trees and shrubs?
Pruning at the correct time is important for the health of your trees and shrubs. Pruning during the late dormant season (late winter, before spring growth begins) is best for most trees. Oaks should not be pruned in April, May, or June. Apple trees, including crabapples should be pruned any time between February and early April because spring or summer pruning will increase the chance for infections and/or the spread of fireblight. Trees that have free-flowing sap, such as maples, butternut, walnut, birch, ironwood, and blue beech can be pruned when their leaves are fully expanded in late spring or early summer to prevent bleeding. Remember not to remove more than ¼ of the live foliage.
Trees and shrubs that bloom early, such as azalea, chokeberry, chokecherry, forsythia lilac, and early-blooming spirea, should be pruned right after they have finished blooming. Shrubs, such as barberry, burning bush, dogwood, honeysuckle, ninebark, and other bushes grown more for their foliage than flowers, should be pruned in spring before growth begins. Shrubs that bloom on new growth may be pruned in spring before growth begins. Shrub roses should be pruned back to live wood. Late-blooming spireas and smooth hydrangeas (snowball) should be pruned to the first pair of buds above the ground. Potentilla will bloom best if one-third of the oldest stems are removed to the ground each year before growth starts.
Dear Master Gardener:
What flowering shrubs do you recommend for our northern climate?
There are many beautiful, flowering shrubs from which to choose for our Zone 3 climate. The azaleas that are hardy in this area were developed by the University of Minnesota and are the 'Northern Lights' series. They range in size and color from 3 feet ('Orchid Lights') to 8 feet ('Pink Lights' and 'Rosy Lights'). Rhododendron 'P.J.M.' is evergreen with lavender-pink flowers and is proving to be hardy to -35 degrees F.
The American Cranberry Bush Viburnum grows to be 7-12 feet tall and has large, flat-topped clusters of white flowers that bloom in June. Arrowwood (Viburnum dentatum) grows to 7-10 feet and has white clusters of flowers. Another flowering Viburnum is the Nannyberry, which gets 15 feet tall and blooms in late May with clusters of ivory flowers. The Pagoda Dogwood is a beautiful, 15 foot, native shrub with horizontally spreading branches that produce small, creamy white flowers in June.
Hydrangeas are deciduous shrubs that grow better in semi-shade rather than full sun. Annabelle Hydrangea (Hydrangea arborescens) is hardy here and has very showy flowers that start out green and then turn white. Peegee Hydrangea (Hydrangea panicualta 'Grandiflora') has white, conical-shaped flowers, which turn a pinkish hue as they age and bloom in August and September.
There are a variety of lilacs that range in size and color that are hardy here. To get an abundance of flowers, lilacs need to be planted in full sun. Potentilla, also known as cinquefoil, blooms throughout the growing season starting in June and come in yellow, white, and pink. Anthony Waterer Spirea has bright rosy lavender flowers and Vanhoutte Spirea is an arching shrub that has white blooms. Weigela is a flowering shrub that comes in red, white or pink and is hardy to Zone 4, but many in the area are having good luck with growing it.

Mularky gets the Jaguars Job
Did they see what Mike Mularky did with the Bills as a head coach? He's a very good OC but no way would I want him to run a team. He was a complete Bambi staring down monster headlights in Buffalo. How many guys walk away from a job like he did?
Six years after walking away from a head coaching job in Buffalo, Mike Mularkey will again run an NFL team.
Tania Ganguli of the Florida Times-Union reports that the Jaguars are hiring Mularkey to be their next head coach. Mularkey has been the offensive coordinator in Atlanta since 2008.
Mularkey interviewed for the job on Tuesday and clearly had a strong performance. He gets the job on the same day that Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden pulled out of the running and only two days after Mularkeys Falcons offense didnt score a point against the Giants.
This may not be a popular move in Jacksonville. And Pete Prisco of CBSSports.com points out that it may be popular with many Falcons fans and some Falcons players.
Were inclined to give owner Shahid Khan and G.M. Gene Smith the benefit of the doubt for now. Mularkey had one good season in Buffalo as a head coach and one not so good season. He didnt seem ready for the job, but we always thought he might be someone that would be much better the second team around. (The same goes for former Bills coach Gregg Williams.)Putting the Fanatic back in Fan

Re: Mularky gets the Jaguars Job
This was also to be expected by many Falcons fans. In their case, they did not have to get rid of Mularkey themselves, because he was hired to a head coaching position. I am not sure how the Falcons players felt about him, but the fans certainly gave him the vast majority of blame for Atlanta's offensive struggles this past weekend.
GOTA, I am with you in both cases. I have a feeling that this is a case of both the coordinator and the quarterback. When you see some of the throws that those two guys made under pressure, they were really questionable."Please take with you this final sword, The Excellector. I am praying that your journey will be guided by the light", Leon Shore

Falling Leaves Lay Flat
The empty crisp packet flew across the road, not a single care about the cars whizzing past, fast, and settled itself in a tree that had already shed it's leaves and they now lay dry and dead like a red and brown carpet at the tree's roots.
"Winter's coming..." I spoke, and with it, exposed my lack of concentration. My mother had been trying to talk me into university.
"You're supposed to get your applications in quickly! But how could you manage that if you struggle keeping simple conversation?"
"I'm sorry," I mumbled, as I watched some birds eye the crisp packet uneasily.
If I was honest with my mother, I would have explained that I couldn't care less about university, education, qualifications, career prospects, family and 'life' in general. But I held it back. That wasn't how our relationship worked, although sometimes I wish it did.
"You know I'm only nagging like this because I care? I just want to make sure you don't regret things like this 15 or 20 years down the line."
"I know, mum." And I did. And I hugged her.
We'd been out shopping together, so when we got back we found my dad watching the football with one of his work colleagues. Younger work colleague admittedly, but still moronic and obnoxious as any red-blooded male.
"Eh, Jim? Is your daughter into all that emo, poppy punk music still?"
My dad sighed. Not for me though.
"Ahhhyeah." (He was the master of turning a sigh into a word). "I played her the Eagles from a young age, made her listen to Queen, even Bowie couldn't help her. I don't really understand where it went... GOAL!!!"
England had scored. Well, I guess they had. Football is a foreign language to me, but it did give me the chance to sneak upstairs and think about how I kinda liked David Bowie. I would never tell my dad though.
I sat at my desk by my window and stared outside. I enjoy the transition the world makes when winter comes. It gets darker quicker and everything natural becomes bare and empty until a headlight or a car light shines upon it, and reflecting of its damp surface from a rain that can feel so cold, it could make ice cooler.
The lights make the nights feel like magic, the bare-branched trees give that spooky edge to the day and the people feel less inclined to speak to me. And this makes me less inclined to speak to them.
And this makes me happy.

Anybody ever tried this? What do you think about this training game? Is it good for a beginner in strength training?
I think it's a good training for people who struggle with motivation regarding strength training and cannot afford a personal trainer (like me).

I'm considering going down looking for Grey when he finally climbs back to my room. He looks rather shaken by something...
"Are you alright?"
"Yeah... I just almost got lynched by your brother though..."
I chuckles, knowing my brother well, he probably threatened to do unspeakable things to Grey. Altough finding out when he's serious and when he's not, that's the hard part...
"Just ignore him, he won't touch a hair from you unless I say so."
"That's very encouraging Honey." He says sarcastically and as he prepares the stuff he brought back.
He begins frictioning my back and I feel the muscles loosen up, relieving the lingering pain and soreness. His hands work like magic as he adjust his technique via the psychic feedback from our mental link.
It must sounds embarassing to other who can hear us since I'm quietly moaning in pleasure, after the sucky last three days of horror and pain, I deserve the attention so I let myself be spoiled for once.
After god knows how long of rapturing ectasy, Grey lets himself fall beside me in bed. "Now it's my arms that need a massage." He claims with a humorous smile.
I kiss him gently murmuring "Thank you." For a minute, we both just lie in bed, halfway between tired and ecstatic. After a while though, I gets up from bed. "Let's grab a shower then eat something, I'm starving."
"Right on, man." He agrees, raising his fist in the air.
After a very looooooooooong and nearly scalding shower, I get dressed in some fresh clothes after having spent all of yesterday and today's morning wearing them. In the kitchem, my Father's working on dinner, which is almost ready.
"Good morning boys... Or should I say good evening?"
"Evening Dad." I greet him while Grey does the same, only changing dad for 'Mr. Tanner'
"I thought it was Lucy's turn to make dinner tonight." I remark.
"It was, but Martin managed to browbeat me into doing it instead." My father points out. "You're going to be happy, I'm making Jambalaya like you love it."
"Awe. Frickin. Some!" I declare grinning. Note to myself, I need to give Martin a hug for being awesome.
After a few minutes that seem to strech out forever as my stomach growls, everyone sits down at the Table, the twins doing the service, setting down the table like they usually do. Mostly because they can't cook to save their lives.
Although I don't get to spend much time with them, I really like Amy and Eli, they put so much energy in the house with thier constant yammering and argueing.
The funny thing about them is that despite being Identical physically, they're really polar opposite on everything else; Amy's the socialite with goth chic while Eli's the geeky tomboy.
But despite this, they actually get along, but they just spend hours discussing everything under the sun before agreeing with each others.
I love my family, with all it's odd quirks and the energy of it. There's always an arguement going on but people here remain cool about it. Like when Kathy brings her laptop to the table to continue writting sappy romance novels.

Instead, it's just plain old John Herschel Glenn Jr. (with New York writer Nick Taylor), offering a steady, sober, Boy Scoutish and - especially for those captivated when he became the first American to orbit the Earth - absorbing memoir.
It stretches from his modest childhood in New Concord, Ohio, and marriage to his onetime playmate, Annie, through World War II and Korea as a Marine combat pilot, to his years as a test pilot and astronaut and finally - though briefly - to his 24-year stretch as a US senator from Ohio, until he retired at the end of 1998.
And, oh yes, wasn't Glenn, at age 77, the guy the space agency allowed back in orbit last year for the sake of geriatric science? Yes, that too is covered.
What's unusual, even refreshing, is that it's the unembellished, upbeat story of a lifetime of sometimes difficult, often heroic public service, without a hint of scandal or prurience save for the mild Senate rebuke Glenn suffered in 1991 for involvement in the so-called Keating Five loan scandal (a rebuke he describes as ''the low point of my life'' - and also ''unjustified''). In short, Glenn recounts his extraordinary life in frank, sometimes folksy but never extraordinary terms.
To be sure, parts of the book - thanks mostly to Wolfe's ''Right Stuff'' - are familiar. And Glenn's political life, including two failed tries for the Senate (he finally won election in 1974) and a clumsy presidential bid in 1984, are compressed into a mere three (of 26) chapters.
But what's clearly most important to Glenn are those patriotic ''right stuff'' years as a combat pilot, test pilot, and astronaut - as well as being a faithful husband and good father. And Glenn doesn't grind axes, spread rumors, dig around in anyone's closet, or revel too much in the public adoration that followed his orbital heroics. This book could well be entitled ''The Straight Stuff.'' When was the last time you read that kind of memoir?
