You guys weren't kidding... I hope I can still walk my 'Mech up the ramp into the dropship later today. >.< Gumbo was a great batch, by the way!
Thanks much for the company and, um, nourishment (lol). The money display was more to show that I was willing to give business. I wasn't too worried about a fight; I tend to stay away from sleazy places almost on instinct. Y'all seems like a good bunch of fellows.
Hmm, I need to check in with my unit commander soon, before going to the dropship for our next job... heck with it. Another drink, bitteschön!

Don't ask me why it's in the kitchen or right next to the bar. We've still got a few hiccups in the plumbing. Beater was supposed to have fixed that before he took off with Jenny.

Of all the nights the storm had to roll in on this one, heavy rain obscuring visuals and the lighting screwing over any kind of electronic sensors. I knew they were out there some where but how lost we'd become was unknown. This was supposed to be an easy mission, rolling over a forward outpost. Briefing said it was guarded by a pair of medium mechs and a few vehicles, nothing Morgana (BL-7-KNT) couldn't handle. I switched the radar over to passive, it wasn't helping me and I'd rather not give myself away before bringing up the zoom. I could see the silhouette of a Scorpion Light Tank at about 400 yards. I slowly brought up her PPC and the pair of large lasers and pulled the trigger. The sucker didn't stand a chance as the steam rolled of Morgana. "Contact" I whispered over the coms, not like it mattered, I had no idea where the rest of the C.C. was. Scans picked up a massive heat signature so I waited for a moment, no lights came, no sirens blared, nothing but the smoking ruins of the light tank showed on view giving it a few minutes I slowly pushed onto the base.
It looked like a mech hanger and some smaller vehicle hangers off to one side, exactly as described in mission briefing. Picking up some undamaged mechs would be an added bonus, god knows we needed the parts. I made a slow loop, keeping on eye on the scans and one on the screen. "Cerberus over watch, I am at base, I repeat I am at base." I kicked up to the Outlaw Star, she was a few clicks away but could be here in moments, hopefully my message made it through this damn storm.
Making my way to the closest vehicle hanger I forced the door open with Morgana, careful not to damage the lasers mounted in her arms. Much to my surprise a pair of Demolisher Tanks greeted me, apparently abandoned but other wise intact. "Cerberus Command, we have salvage, do not open fire on the hangers. I repeat do not open fire on the hangers" I clicked off a few times as I moved over to the Mech bay.
As the lightning crashed my censors went dead, leaving me blind except for visuals. About Ten yards from the massive door it exploded, heavy auto cannon shells ripping through it and tearing into Morgana's left arm. I threw her into reverse, side stepping another blast of shells as the Enemy Atlas pushed through what remained of the hanger door, it's death head grinning in the flash of lightning. "Crap" I muttered, sucking in a breath and opening fire.

"Commander, we have a heat sig. Looks like a firefight." The pilot spoke too loud into the mic, the sounds of the cockpit rattling nearly drowning him out.
"Get us there. I'm gonna jump." Umbrias turned up the reactor output and readied his weapons systems. He checked the parachute system. "...Hope that back armor holds..."
The mic opened again,"Get back here!" The Bebop shuddered and listed to the left,"Green light, Raven!"
The deck leaned further as another wind shear lashed the ship. Umbrias began running, fired the jets and was falling. The rebuilt Centurion rattled and shook as he fought the jump-jets back underneath him. The storm swallowed him whole, ice forming on his arms, chest. He fired the jets again. If they iced over, he would rip the back armor off when the parachute opened.
A lance of artificial lightning shredded past. "Taking fire! C-1, check your scopes!"
Static hissed back. A quick glance answered; someone was jamming them.
The darkness of the clouds peeled away, the ground closer than it should have been. Umbrias kicked hard, the jump jets roaring as he glared at the speed indicator. Gritting his teeth, he slammed a fist on the parachute release and thrust harder against the jump triggers.
The 'chute opened and jerked the mech. The frame strained around him and he felt the impact as he hit the ground.
A warbling alarm screamed at him, missiles incoming.
Umbrias lunged forward, trying to spot the missiles in the rain as he trained his auto cannon on the mechs before him. The round shoulders of an atlas turning away as missile doors closed.
"Huh..." And missiles rained down around him..
Posted 15 April 2012 - 10:23 PM
Rounding the far side of the Vehicle hangars I could see the Atlas, still standing guard in front of the door that it had shattered not a moment before. It was looking in the direction I had taken off, left side exposed to me. If I was lucky I might be able to get behind it. Easing Morgana's right side around the corner, I tried lining up what I hoped would be a surprise shot on the Atlas. I would only get one shot so it had to be a good one. Triggering both her PPC and Large Lasers I held my breath as three shots hit across it's left leg.
Damn, too low.
I switched to the medium lasers as lightning lit up the sky, striking mere yards from the Atlas, enough energy pumped out to frazzle the onboard computers on both or mechs. I opened up as it turned to face me, lasers striking across the left arm and torso as the assault machine turned to face me. More fire from the heavy auto cannon ripped into Morgana, mangling her right arm as I slipped back behind the building as short range missiles and laser blasts blew holes into it's corner, throwing massive chunks of masonry onto the open tarmac, melting steel support beams and opening holes in the roof. At this rate he had to be down to half munitions for the Auto Cannon. If he ran out that would help level the playing field and maybe give me a chance.
Slowly backing away I tried moving Morgana's right arm, it still functioned but a massive crack ran down the side of the PPC barrel. "One more shot and it's toast, better make it count." I told myself, holding her right arm as steady as possible, letting the PPC blast build as the Atlas came charging full speed around the corner, shoulder down as if he was going to charge me.
The ***** was going to charge me….
I waited until the last second before letting go of the trigger, the PPC shot exploding what was left of Morgana's arm as it impacted the Atlas, scoring armor from it's shoulder and the massive Death's Head.
I knew it hadn't been enough....
and I braced for a 100 ton impact.

"Where'd they get off to?" He moved past the ruined hanger door. It wasn't hard to track the footprints of an Atlas in fresh mud.
Turned the corner. The Titan was bearing down on Morgana with his elbows out and head down. Umbrias aimed for the feet and clicked through his triggers. The auto cannon rocked his arm and tore a furrow in the soft earth, glancing off the right foot. The laser hit the back of the knee, the blast soaked up by steaming armor. LRMs shot out in a rising arc turned and raced for the ground, many of them shredding the weak rear armor of the torso.
Pushed forward by the missiles, the atlas stomped into the furrow and began to overbalance. His step stuttered as the gyros fought for balance.
The pilot inside tried to lean to the right, get back on course, his torso shifting as the feet guided themselves left.
The Atlas thundered along. Straining to stop and turn.
Morgana stood the half cover of the building, right arm up to fend off the atlas, PPC smoldering.
Umbrias flipped the PA on, "You still operational?"

Exactly the same technique as the previous flower, except you don't glue the edges together to create the looped look. Start with a strip of felt, again this was using felt by the yard to create a larger flower. I cut the width on this particular one to be about 1" wide. A little wider would also create a nice whispy looking flower.
Trace your template on to your felt. FYI - using a pink or dark marker isn't the best choice, white colored pencils on darker colors are ok or pencils maybe.
Cut out the template. And starting at the end you will place a dot of glue with the glue gun and begin rolling it all the way around gluing as you go. You should end with the large round circular piece that is the bottom of the flower. Sorry I forgot to take a pic of this process.
Flower #4 - Frosting Flower {couldn't think of a better name}
You will need to cut a bunch of circles out of your felt. I used a medicine measuring cup to trace for this particular flower since I wanted it small, but any round small cup or bowl is a great size for larger ones. For my small one I used 12 circles of felt. You will also need 1 slightly bigger circle as your base.
Start by taking your circles of felt and folding them in half and gluing a dot in the middle to hold it.
Place another dot of glue then fold it over like this. Then take the extra and fold it back the opposite direction. It should look like an "S" shape.
Like this.
Start gluing them to the base like fitting pie pieces back in to the pie. 6 pieces on the bottom.
Then another 6 on top of the first layer of 6. This will create a very full ball of frosting look. You can add a button or rhinestone with hot glue if you'd like. Fluff it up when it's dry and it will look like the top picture.
Flower #5 - Scalloped Frosting Flower
Have a great week.

Biography (Dictionary of World Biography: The 19th Century)
Article abstract: Although Chekhov had a significant impact on the creation of modern drama with his four major plays, his most important influence has been on the development of the modern short story. With his numerous lyrical stories, Chekhov liberated the short story in particular from its adherence to the parable form and fiction in general from the tedium of the realistic novel.
Early Life
Anton Chekhov was born on January 29, 1860, in a small port town on the Sea of Azov in the Crimea. His grandfather was a former slave who bought his own freedom. In what is perhaps the best-known remark Chekhov ever made about his life, he said he felt the necessity to "squeeze the slave" out of himself. Chekhov's father, Pavel Egorovich, owned a small general store in which Chekhov worked as a child. When Chekhov was sixteen, however, his father had to declare bankruptcy and escape his creditors by going to Moscow. Chekhov's mother, along with the two youngest children, followed soon after. Chekhov stayed behind as a tutor to the son of one of his mother's former boarders.
After living in poverty and fending for himself for three years, Chekhov was graduated from high school in Taganrog and went to Moscow to enter medical school at Moscow University. Because his father had a low-paying job outside town and was only home on Sundays and holidays, Chekhov had to assume the role of head of his family's...

Biography (Critical Survey of Drama, Second Revised Edition)
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov was born in the provincial town of Taganrog, Russia, on January 29, 1860. The grandson of a serf, Chekhov was the third of seven children. Chekhov said of his early days, "There was no childhood in my childhood," largely because of his father, Pavel, who frequently forced Chekhov to tend the family's unheated food and hardware store until late at night. Chekhov's father beat his children and taught them how to cheat customers, yet he was in his own eyes a religious man. He forced his children into a religious choir that rehearsed frequently and sang at various churches. Chekhov disliked these duties. It is not surprising that in later life he was not a religious man, that he spent his life trying to "burn the slave" out of himself and become a man of culture, and that he became convinced that work was useless unless it improved humankind's lot.
Chekhov's home life was disrupted in 1876 when his father's business went into bankruptcy and his father fled to Moscow to escape debtors' prison. His mother sold the house, took the younger children, and joined her husband. Chekhov stayed behind to finish his schooling and became, at sixteen, the main support of the family, providing income by tutoring. He finished school in 1879, rejoined his family, and tried to provide material and moral support, lecturing at times on the need to avoid lies, affirm human worth, and be fair, all values that would be of great importance...

Biography (Critical Survey of Short Fiction, Second Revised Edition)
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, the third of six Chekhov children, was born on January 29, 1860, in Taganrog, a provincial city in southern Russia. His father, Pavel Egorovich Chekhov, son of a serf, ran a meager grocery store, which young Anton often tended in his neglectful father's absence. A religious fanatic and stern disciplinarian, Pavel gave his children frequent beatings and forced them to spend long hours in various devotional activities. For Anton, who did not share his father's zeal, it was a depressing, gloomy childhood.
Although the family was poor and Pavel's marginal business was slowly failing, Anton was able to get some schooling, first at a Greek parochial school, then at the boys' gymnasium, or high school. In 1875, after a bout with acute peritonitis, young Chekhov decided to become a physician. His future brightened when, in 1876, his father, trying to evade his creditors, secretly moved the family to Moscow, leaving Anton to finish school.
In 1879, Anton moved to Moscow, entered the medical school of the University of Moscow, and almost immediately began publishing stories in various magazines and newspapers. A very prolific apprentice, by 1884, when he was graduated from medical school, he had published his first collection of short fiction. By 1886, Chekhov had begun his long association and friendship with A. S. Suvorin, the owner of an influential conservative newspaper to which Chekhov contributed dozens of pieces....

Biography (Magill's Survey of World Literature, Revised Edition)
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (CHEH-kawf) was born on January 29, 1860, into a family of tradesmen in the southern Russian port town of Taganrog, a stiflingly provincial place where he spent his first nineteen years. Chekhov despised Taganrog and used the adjective "Taganrogish" for behavior that he regarded as dull, boorish, squalid, or vulgar. Chekhov's father, Pavel Egorovich, was a despotic grocer who terrorized his wife, five sons, and one daughter, overworked them, eventually went bankrupt, and had to flee town to escape his creditors. Chekhov's mother was the soul of kindness, but she was too timid and deferential to protect her children against an abusive father who beat his offspring, ordered them to attend church services daily, and forbade them the luxury of play. "We felt like little convicts at hard labor," Chekhov wrote in an 1892 letter about his childhood—though he did manage to fish and swim and to become a great practical joker. It is nonetheless crucial to note that he was deprived of an adequate portion of familial love in his formative years. That may account for the central flaw in Chekhov's character: his marked tendency to avoid emotional (and with women, physical) intimacy with family, friends, and lovers.
Chekhov's Taganrog schooling coincided with tremendous socioeconomic revolutionary ferment incited by the writings...

Biography (Magill's Survey of World Literature, Revised Edition)
"You ask me what life is?" Anton Chekhov once wrote his wife. "It is like asking what a carrot is. A carrot is a carrot, that's all we know." Chekhov records facts: people, places, things, words, actions. Held in his artist's vision, they catch the comic, pathetic, sometimes frightening, other times loving but always vulnerable and lonely human pose between birth and death. Chekhov is the subtlest, quietest, most indirect of storytellers and dramatists, capable of examining his characters' darkest despair with calm sympathy, gentle irony, and restrained affection. As an author, he seeks to be an impartial witness to the human condition, careful not to indulge in moral fervor, messianic dogma, or anything that smacks of theatricality. A hater of lies and delusions, he has no remedy for the disease of modern life and refuses to arouse false hopes about the future of humankind.

Biography (Cyclopedia of World Authors, Fourth Revised Edition)
Anton Chekhov (CHEHK-awf)—also written Chekov, Tchehov, and Tchekhov—was Russia's foremost playwright and one of the great masters of the short story. He was the third child of Pravel Yegorovitch Chekhov, a "merchant in the third guild"—that is, the proprietor of a small grocery shop—in Taganrog, where the future writer was born in 1860. When, after an unhappy childhood, he entered Moscow University to study medicine, he assumed the burden and responsibility of supporting the family, which he undertook to do by writing humorous sketches and stories for periodicals. The first of these tales was published in 1880, and in the next seven years he wrote as many as six hundred stories. On his graduation in 1884, with health already impaired by hard work and tuberculosis, he took up the practice of medicine, which he was to pursue somewhat desultorily in later years, as inclination and poor health permitted. There would be no lack of patients, but money was always scarce.{$S[A]Chekov, Anton;Chekhov, Anton}{$S[A]Tchehov, Anton;Chekhov, Anton}{$S[A]Tchekhov, Anton;Chekhov, Anton}

Of all the great Russian writers in literary history, Anton Chekhov stands as perhaps the most touching and immediately accessible. He is remembered primarily for advancing two forms—the play and the short story. As a playwright, Chekhov emphasized mood over plot and is credited with influencing countless dramatists from his period onward, even though he wrote only five full-length plays during his lifetime: Ivanov, The Cherry Orchard, The Three Sisters, The Seagull, and Uncle Vanya. As a writer of short fiction, he perfected a tone of sympathetic detachment when describing the misfortunes of his characters. Chekhov's work in the genre has influenced canonical writers as diverse as Raymond Chandler, Franz Kafka, and Ernest Hemingway.Essential Facts
- Chekhov's grandfather was a serf who bought his freedom, and his father worked in and owned a grocery shop.
- As a young man, Chekhov was profoundly influenced by Russian literary giant Leo Tolstoy. Tolstoy, however, did not later return the admiration: he reportedly hated Chekhov's plays.
- After Chekhov graduated from Moscow University in 1884, he practiced medicine for several years.
- One of his most famous plays, The Seagull, was a complete flop when it premiered in St. Petersburg in 1896; however, it caught the eye of two very important men: Constantin Stanislavski and Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko. When the two formed the Moscow Art Theatre two years later, they produced The Seagull to great acclaim. This artistic relationship became the most important of Chekhov's life.
- Chekhov battled tuberculosis for most of his short life. He eventually succumbed to the disease in 1904 at the age of 44.

Biography (Short Stories for Students)
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov was born on January 29, 1860, in Taganrog, a Russian town on the Sea of Azov. His father owned a small grocery store, where Chekhov worked as a child, and imposed a strict religious discipline on the family. When Chekhov was sixteen, his father's business failed, and the family moved to Moscow to avoid debtor's prison while Chekhov stayed on to finish his secondary school studies. After joining them in Moscow in 1880, Chekhov began to support his family by writing short, humorous sketches for popular journals. Measures of his prolific literary output during this time are the some three hundred short, humorous pieces written in the subsequent four years. Meanwhile, he enrolled in medical school at the University of Moscow, earning his degree as Doctor of Medicine in 1884. Chekhov later made the now famous comment that, while medicine was his wife, literature was his mistress.
That same year, 1884, his first two collections of stories were published: the first was entitled Tales of Melpomene, and for the second, In the Twilight, he was awarded the Russian Academy's Pushkin Prize for distinguished literary achievement. His only novel, The Shooting Party, was also published in serial form between 1884 and 1885. A turning point in his literary career was in 1888 when he published his first piece in a serious journal, a long short story entitled ''The Steppe.'' He subsequently turned exclusively to writing longer, more serious stories. In 1889, Chekhov took a trip across Siberia to study life in a penal colony in Sakhalin where he stayed for two years, eventually publishing the monograph, The Island of Sakhalin (1893–1894). Chekhov continued to publish short stories, purchasing a six hundred acre country estate in 1892.
In 1898, he met and befriended Stanislavsky, whose newly formed experimental Moscow Art Theater eventually produced many of Chekov's plays. His major dramatic works include The Sea Gull (1896), Uncle Vanya (1896), Three Sisters (1901), and The Cherry Orchard (1904). In 1901, he married the actress Olga Knipper, who starred in many of these productions.
In the late 1880s, Chekhov showed signs of the onset of tuberculosis, and he spent the last years of his life, from the late 1890s, in health spas in Crimea France and Germany, where he died in 1904. Over the course of his life, the inexhaustibly prolific Chekhov published approximately fourhundred-and-fifty narratives. Throughout the twentieth century, Chekhov, a cultural icon in Russia, has been considered internationally to be one of the greatest and most influential of short story writers and playwrights.of short story writers and playwrights.
Biography (Short Stories for Students)
Born on January 29, 1860, in Taganrog, Russia, Chekhov, the third of six children, was the grandson of a serf who bought his freedom. His father owned a small grocery business which went bankrupt, leaving the family impoverished. Chekhov managed to earn a scholarship to study medicine at the University of Moscow, and by 1884 he went into practice. By this time Chekhov had published humorous sketches in magazines in order to support his family. He supported his mother and sisters for many years, turning out sketches and stories with astonishing speed while also practicing medicine.
Famous for the profound influence of his plays on the course of modern drama, Chekhov perhaps exerted an even greater influence on the modern short story. While he is known for his sympathy for and insight into the human condition, his stories ultimately exhibited dispassionate emotional balance, rigorous stylistic control, and a rational, ironic, and sometimes cynical attitude toward human relationships and aspirations. It is Chekhov's cool, detached artfulness that distinguished his work from the confessional style of Dostoevsky, the moral fervor of Tolstoy, and the absurdist fantasies of Gogol. Critics note that Chekhov wrote ''The Lady with the Pet Dog''—the story of a middle-aged man's belated discovery of true love—shortly before he himself married actress Olga Knipper in 1901. Their love was bittersweet, as he did not expect to live long. Some critics point out that just as Gurov felt bored and disgusted by the triviality of Moscow society in the absence of Anna, Chekhov felt miserable among high society at a health resort in Yalta (where he composed the story while seeking a tuberculosis cure) because he was separated from Olga. Like Gurov, Chekhov loved the company of women and seemed to share a special sympathy with them but simultaneously remained somewhat detached.
Chekhov was influenced by Tolstoy's ideas on ascetic morality and nonresistance to evil. He especially became more actively concerned about human suffering after visiting and caring for patients at a penal colony on the island of Sakhalin. In one of his most famous stories, ''Ward Six,'' Chekhov depicts a doctor's inner journey from philosophical detachment to deep human sympathy, which resembles Gurov's journey from a thoughtless and cynical lady's man to a deeply sympathetic lover in ''The Lady with the Pet Dog.''
Chekhov's first major work as a dramatist, The Seagull, was produced in 1896 by the Moscow Art Theater. Although the first performance of this unprecedentedly realistic and "uneventful" play caused the outraged audience to riot, it was soon appreciated as a new and profound kind of theater and was followed by Uncle Vanya, The Cherry Orchard, and The Three Sisters. Chekhov died from tuberculosis in 1904 in a Black Forest health spa.
Biography (Drama for Students)
Anton Chekhov was born on January 17, 1860, in Taganrog, a dreary Russian seaport village on the Black Sea. His grandfather was an emancipated serf who had managed to buy his own freedom. His father, Pravel Yegorovitch Chekhov, a cruel and dictatorial taskmaster who made his children's lives miserable, ran a small grocery store. In 1876, that business failed, forcing the family to flee to the anonymity of Moscow to escape from creditors. Although Chekhov's fame as a dramatist rests largely on works he wrote during the last eight years of his life, his love of the theater extended back into his youth in Taganrog, where he frequented dramatic presentations at that city's provincial playhouses. Young Anton remained in Taganrog to complete his schooling before following the family to Moscow and entering that city's university to study medicine.
It was there that Chekhov began writing his sketches and stories, works that fairly quickly brought him financial independence and a moderate degree of fame. Between 1880, when the first of his pieces appeared, and 1887, Chekhov published about 600 pieces in periodicals. Quite literally, he wrote his humorous sketches as "potboilers," works providing money enough for his family to get back on its feet.
By 1884, when he graduated from the university and began practicing medicine, Chekhov already knew that he had contracted tuberculosis, a disease that would leave him but twenty additional years to write. His success and much improved financial situation soon allowed him to give up medicine to concentrate on his writing, though he sometimes worked as a physician to help the poor. At first Chekhov did not take his writing very seriously, but starting in 1885, after he moved to St. Petersburg, his attitude began to change. He became a close friend of A. S. Suvorin, the editor of Novoe vremja, a fairly conservative journal. Recognizing Chekhov's genius, Suvorin encouraged the writer to take more pride in his work and to seek a greater critical reputation. It was there, too, that Chekhov fell under the influence of the great novelist Leo Tolstoy especially that writer's moral preachments, including his passive response to evil.
Chekov began to write plays at about the same time that he started writing fiction but did not immediately achieve the success and acclaim that he did in fiction. His work in drama falls into two distinct periods. The first, from 1881 until 1895, is predominately one in which he wrote adaptations of his prose sketches as curtain-raisers or ''vaudevilles," single-act farces of the sort that were immensely popular in Russian theater at the time. Two of these pieces, The Bear (also known as The Brute and The Boar) and The Marriage Proposal, are extremely durable examples of this kind. Chekhov also experimented with longer pieces in his early years, but, except in the case of Ivanov (1887), he had little success with them. In fact, because one of them, The Wood Demon (1889), was so chillingly received by critics and was rejected for performance, Chekhov all but gave up writing drama for the next seven years. With The Seagull (1896), he entered his second period of dramatic writing and produced the world-renowned masterpieces on which his fame as playwright largely rests. In this second period, lasting to his death in 1904, he wrote his greatest plays, which, besides The Seagull, include Uncle Vanya (1899), The Cherry Orchard (1900), and Three Sisters (1901). It was also in this period that Chekhov commenced his fortuitous association with the Moscow Art Theater, then under the joint directorship of Constantin Stanislavsky and Chekhov's friend, Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko. In their stage interpretation of his work, these two men and their actors brought the author both great fame and fortune. His sickness soon took its toll, however, and after his marriage to the actress Olga Knipper in 1901 until his death in 1904, Chekhov's failing health depleted his energy and prevented him from adding new works to his limited dramatic canon.
However, by 1901 he had done enough to acquire an international reputation. In these latter plays, Chekhov perfected hallmark techniques and a style that earned him a lasting reputation as a seminal figure in modern drama—in the minds of many the coequal of the ''father'' of modern drama, Henrik Ibsen. To this day, in manner and technique, he is still admired and imitated by aspiring playwrights.
Biography (Drama for Students)
Although Anton Pavlovich Chekhov was trained as a physician and practiced as one, he came to dominate not just one field of literature, but two: plays and short stories. He was born in 1860 in Taganrog, a provincial town in the Ukraine area of Russia that was similar to the one described in The Three Sisters. His family had a small grocery business that went bankrupt, forcing them to move to Moscow in 1876, although Chekhov stayed behind in Taganrog to finish his education. With a scholarship to Moscow University, he studied to be a doctor of medicine, going into practice in 1884. At that time he started publishing short humorous sketches in the Moscow newspapers, though he had no serious artistic aspirations. His writing career became earnest when he moved to St. Petersburg in 1885 and befriended the editor of a literary journal, who recognized his talent and encouraged him. He did write plays, and some of these were produced, but his most memorable work from that period were his short stories, and by late 1880s, he was one of the world's great masters of short story writing.
It was in the late 1890s, when Chekhov became associated with the Moscow Art Theatre, that he reached full maturity as a playwright. The theater, under director Constantin Stanislavsky (whose theories about acting method are standard texts for theater students today), produced The Seagull in 1896, followed by Uncle Vanya (1899), The Three Sisters (1901) and The Cherry Orchard (1904). Chekhov was very involved in the Moscow Art Theatre's productions of his plays, offering suggestions for the actors and constantly rewriting passages. He courted an actress from the company, Olga Knipper, who played Masha in the original production of The Three Sisters (he wrote the part with her in mind); they were married in 1901, just four months after the play opened. During much of their marriage, they were apart, because Chekhov, suffering from tuberculosis since 1884, often went to country retreats for medical treatment. He died of tuberculosis in Yalta in 1904, when he was forty-four years old.
Biography (Drama for Students)
Born on January 29, 1860, in the port village of Taganrog in the Ukraine Anton Chekhov was the third son of Pavel Yegorovitch and Yevgeniya Yakovlevna (Morozov) Chekhov. Though the family was descended from Russian peasants, Chekhov's grandfather purchased the family's freedom, allowing Chekhov's father to run a small grocery store. The family's fortunes took a sudden turn for the worse, however, when his father's store went bankrupt in 1876. Following that disaster, his parents moved to Moscow, leaving Chekhov in Taganrog to complete his education.
In 1879, Chekhov reunited with his family in Moscow, where he began studying for a degree in medicine at Moscow University. In 1884, he completed his studies, began to practice medicine, and started publishing short, humorous sketches in popular magazines. In 1886 these collected sketches were published as a book, entitled Motley Stories. According to his biographers, Chekhov only began to take his writing seriously after he moved to St. Petersburg in 1885 and befriended an influential editor named A. S. Suvorin. During the late-1880s, Chekhov wrote some of his most famous short stories, including ''The Kiss'' and ''The Steppe.''
Chekhov had attended plays by Nikolai Gogol and William Shakespeare growing up in Taganrog, as well as appearing as an actor on the amateur and professional stage. In the 1880s, Chekhov began to write one-act and full-length plays. Many of his dramatic efforts were poorly received; the 1896 premier of The Sea Gull at the Imperial Alexander Theater in St. Petersburg was drowned out by whispering and derisive laughter. Chekhov's fortunes as a playwright improved after he met Konstantin Stanislavsky, who produced The Sea Gull at the Moscow Art Theater in 1898. In fact, the Moscow Art Theater was so indebted to Chekhov that an ideogram of a sea gull—from Chekhov's play of that title—still adorns the theater's curtain. In 1899, the Moscow Art Theater presented Uncle Vanya, a revised version of Chekhov's one-act play The Wood Demon. Chekhov's reputation as an innovative and influential dramatist rests with Uncle Vanya and his two subsequent plays, The Three Sisters (1901) and The Cherry Orchard (1904).
Even as his literary fortunes grew, Chekhov continued to work as a doctor, often refusing payment for the care he dispensed because he earned a good living from writing. In the summer of 1901 Chekhov married Olga Leonardovna Knipper, an actress from the Moscow Art Theater. Ill with tuberculosis, he spent much of his last years traveling to health spas in Europe. He died on July 2, 1904, in Badenweiler, a German health resort, and was buried in Moscow. Chekhov was a highly regarded short story writer and dramatist in his own lifetime and recognition and appreciation for his unique literary gifts have continued to grow throughout the twentieth century..
Biography (Beacham's Guide to Literature for Young Adults)
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov was born on January 17,1860, in Taganrog, a city in southern Russia. He was one of six children born to Evgeniya and to Pavel Chekhov, a strict religious man who owned a grocery store and who was physically abusive with Anton and his two older brothers. Though Anton had a depressing childhood, he was educated at an early age and apparently well-read. He earned a medical degree from Moscow University in 1884, then began practicing medicine at the Zemstvo Hospital in Vosklressensk.
About the same time Chekhov entered medical school, he began writing for publication. At this time he wrote for newspapers and humor magazines, primarily to earn money, and he published comical short stories under the pseudonym Antosha Chekhonte. In a short time, Chekhov realized his passion for writing and launched his literary career. It was during the second stage of his writing career that he became famous. Chekhov was heavily influenced by the political views of Leo Tolstoy, specifically by his rejection of materialism and his concern with alleviating the suffering of the peasants. Tolstoy's influence on Chekhov became obvious in this second set of stories, published after 1886 under his true name. Later, when Chekhov rejected Tolstoy's views, this rejection was reflected in Chekhov's works including his short story "Gooseberries."
After Chekhov abandoned his medical career to write, he enjoyed a prolific writing career. Though he wrote...

Biography (Drama for Students)
Anton Chekhov was born in Taganrog, Russia, on January 16, 1860. His grandfather had been a serf who had been able to earn enough to buy his freedom and purchase a small home. In 1876, however, Chekhov's father, a grocer, was forced to move the family to Moscow because of their many debts and the repossession of their home. Chekhov remained behind to finish his studies. His years in school at Taganrog were plagued by poverty, and he often agreed to complete other students' school work for payment in order to support himself.
In 1880 Chekhov moved to Moscow and entered medical school at the University of Moscow. He graduated with an M.D. in 1884. Chekhov had written hundreds of short stories by the time of his graduation, but he did not consider writing as a career until he moved to St. Petersburg in 1885 and became friends with A. S. Suvorin, editor of the journal Novoe Vremja. By 1888 Chekhov was practicing medicine only during epidemics, focusing instead on his writing.
Though his one act plays The Boor and The Marriage Proposal were successful, his first full length plays lvanov and The Wood Demon were great disappointments. He did not write another full length play until The Seagull in 1896. Though The Seagull failed in its first production due to its intense psychological realism (very unlike the fashion of the time), the Moscow Art Theater's production in 1898, which was staged under the...

Biography (Short Stories for Students)
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov was born on January 16, 1860, in Taganrog, Russia, the third of six children. Chekhov's father, a grocer, was intense, religious, and demanding of his family. Chekhov's paternal grandfather was a serf who managed to buy his freedom, enabling his descendants to lead better lives. Chekhov was a good student whose interests included writing, journalism, and drama. His mother's storytelling ability is often credited as the source of Chekhov's talent. When his father's grocery store failed in 1876, the family moved to Moscow, but Chekhov stayed behind alone to finish school. Upon graduating, he received a scholarship to attend medical school at the University of Moscow. While in medical school, he supported his impoverished family by writing for humor magazines. In 1884, he began practicing medicine and also saw the publication of the first collection of his writing.
In 1901, Chekhov married Olga Knipper, a well-known actress in Moscow. Chekhov's health had been steadily declining since his twenties, when he suffered the first symptoms of tuberculosis. His illness forced him to leave Russia for extended periods of time, and his wife was often unable to accompany him due to her stage success. On July 2, 1904, Chekhov died at a spa in Badenweiler, Germany, with Olga by his side. He is buried in Moscow. Literary historians note that his death marked the end of Russia's Golden Age of literature, an age that included the works of Fyodor Dostoyevsky Leo Tolstoy and Ivan Turgenev.
Chekhov's career is often divided into three periods. The first, 1880–1887, spans his years of humor writing. The second, 1888–1893, found Chekhov writing at a more leisurely pace as he began writing more experimental and ''literary'' works. This period shows Chekhov's early adherence to Tolstoy's philosophy of nonresistance to evil. Chekhov abandoned this philosophy after an 1889 trip to a prison camp, when he decided that he could not justify passivity in the face of injustice and cruelty. In fact, Chekhov's second period is characterized by his growing concern over social and psychological ills. The third period, 1894–1904, reflects his evolution as a complex and innovative writer. ''Gooseberries'' was published during this time. This period also includes the bulk of Chekhov's writing as a dramatist. Today, he is still regarded as a master of both short fiction and drama, and numerous modern writers are influenced by his thematic and technical contributions to literature.

Delta State head coach Mike Kinnison's Statesmen lost for the first time at the CWS in Cary, N.C. after failing to push a single run across home plate, 1-0 to Minnestoa State-Mankato.By TAYLOR MITCHELLSports EditorCARY, N.C. – After winning their first two games of the College World Series, the Delta State Statesmen fell victim to Minnesota State Mankato 1-0. However, it wasn't for a lack of opportunities by the Statesmen.Delta State (48-14) had runners in scoring position several times Thursday afternoon, but no wasted opportunity hurt more than the one in the top of the eighth.Needing just one run to extend the game, the Statesmen put runners on first and third with just one out in the inning. Mavericks' starter Tyler Ockuly met with his teammates on the mound as Michael Vinson walked to the plate. On the first pitch, Vinson hit a ground ball straight to the second baseman, who flipped the ball to the covering short stop at second before throwing the ball to first base, where Vinson was called out after appearing safe.Vinson, a junior from Southaven, threw his helmet on the ground in anger and was ejected from the game. Replays, however, appear to show Vinson stepping on first base just moments before the ball reached first base.-------for the rest of the story see The Yazoo Herald printed edition or subscribe to the Digital Edition.----------

By JOFFRE WASHINGTONSpecial to The HeraldThe Yazoo City High School tennis team finished the 2012 season with a 5-4 record and had two participants advance to the Class 5A State Tennis Tournament held at Ridgeland Tennis Center earlier this month.Mixed doubles partners Jalen Grayer and Aliesha Hudson were the only Indian netters to advance to the state tournament and squared off against Oxford's Judson Watson and Cari Hansen in the opening round. Watson and Hansen defeated Grayer and Hudson 6-2, 6-0 to close out the Indians season."Jalen and Aliesha led us all season long and it was a great accomplishment for them to advance to the state tournament," said Indian head coach Joffre Washington. "This was a tough season. Because we had so many matches cancelled due to rain, it was hard for us to get into any kind of rhythm in competitive playing. But we finished over .500 as a team and had someone advance to the state tournament for the fourth consecutive year. That's a testament to the hard work that we put in. We have some newcomers and a solid nucleus returning so that trend should continue next season."-------for the rest of the story see The Yazoo Herald printed edition or subscribe to the Digital Edition.----------

I posted this in another forum as well: On May 5th, 1862 Confederate Soldiers, that were stationed in Tucson, were attacked by Apaches at Dragoon Springs (an abandoned Butterfield Mail Station). These Confederates were on a foraging mission at the time. The resulting desperate fight appears to have lasted a few hours. The soldiers sought protection by holing up in the stations ruins while fighting for their lives. When Cochise and his warriors broke contact, they had killed 4 Confederates and stolen several horses. These soldiers were buried at the Dragoon Springs Station. (in modern day Arizona) Ironically, Union troops were fighting side-by-side with the Confederates in this engagement. It is believed that the Yanks were prisoners of the Rebs who were used to provide labor on this foraging mission. When ambushed by Cochise, firearms were distributed to every white man to help fend off the common Apache foe. In fact, it was a Union soldier who carved the Confederate names into the headstones. To the best of knowledge, this occurrence resulted in the furthest western Confederate deaths of the Civil War. Enjoy the Pic, Attachment: Dragoon Graves.JPG (Downloaded 13 times) |

The Apache weren't real particular about sides during or after the ACW, a white man was a potential scalp and a certain enemy. |

"The quality of this card was better than I expected. Very durable for mailing and the colors were clear and perfect! The card was definately worth the money and my time saved in hand-writing invitations. Plus, I loved that I could add a picture of the birthday girl."
"I loved how this invitation design made my daughter's picture the focus while still giving the party's Hello Kitty theme. The quality was beautiful and I have gotten so many compliments on them. I chose not to pay the extra for rounded corners and instead rounded them myself with my punch. The customer service provided by Lisa with Tiny Prints was amazing when I had some problems with a glitch in the system causing an error with my order. She had it resolved in minutes and I got my invitations as planned. I cannot rave enough about Tiny Prints and this invitation. I will certainly be ordering again."
"Ladies... this invitation is simply gorgeous. I chose to print them on the pearlized card stock and I couldn't have made a better choice. My daughter is turning 8 years old in March and she is a hello kitty fanatic. The other hello kitty invitations I saw were nice. However, this one was the best one. Choosing different fonts was easy and the colors they had already on the card were perfect and didn't need to be changed. I had to contact customer serviceto get the other half of my invites printed and that was a breeze. They immediately processed my order with no questions asked. I found tiny prints through goolgle search engine and I am so happy I found them."
"This is my second invitation purchase from Tiny Prints, and I'm pleased with my invitations once again. I'm so glad that the site had these Hello Kitty invitations. They are bright, colorful, and very easy to personalize. They also match perfectly with all of the Hello Kitty party items that I purchased at the local party store."
"This invite is soo cute. My daughter and I love Hello Kitty. The service was great too. I had a question about the quality of the photo I submitted and someone called me back within 24 hours."
