I now make it for myself and lately for my daughter who has come to enjoy it -especially when she heard the story of how her Thatha used to make it for me. Everytime she eats it though, she stoutly insists that "Your French Toast is the best, Amma!" And so the story continues.
There's really not much to actually warrant a recipe - one egg, about 1 cup of warm milk and 5 tbsp of sugar.
1.Dissolve the sugar in the milk and then lightly beat the egg into it. Pour the egg milk mixture onto a shallow dish.
2. Heat a heavy non stick skillet and melt some butter in it (about a tsp per slice of bread).
3.Dip a bread slice into the milk and soak for about 30-40 seconds before turning and soaking again. Gently moisten the edges as well and then cook on the hot skillet on a medium flame turning till each side is golden brown.
This was my adaptation of French Toast for hubby who can't abide by sweet things for breakfast - I myself don't like sweet stuff in the morning - French Toast is the exception.
Replace the sugar with a mixture of salt and green chilli-coriander paste. (Grind 2 green chillies with a a cup of cleaned coriander). Go through steps 2 and 3 as above.
Bread - 8 slices - crust removed,
Eggs - 2
Mozarella cheese - 4 slices. (mozarella melts well, but you could use cheddar)
olive oil
1. Put a slice of cheese between 2 pieces of bread and cut diagonally into a sandwich.
2. Mix the eggs with salt and put into a large shallow bowl and beat. Add the sandwiches and leave them to soak for 30 minutes, turning them once over, halfway through.
3. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a frying pan, press the edges of the sandwich firmly together and fry till golden brown.

Star Wars: The Old Republic is a frustrating game. At its core, it uses the same basic tenets and concepts that many other MMORPG's use – holy trinity grouping, mailboxes, taxi points, a combat system that at times amounts to "stand next to each other and trade blows," etc. BioWare has stated in the past that they didn't set out to revolutionize the MMORPG genre, but at times, while playing, I got the feeling that the game was a boiler-plate MMO with a fresh coat of paint on it.
Now that I've had a chance to play the game for several months, I'd like to look back and reflect on what parts of SWTOR turned me off and kept me from playing.
Note: As with all of our editorials, they are the opinion of the writer themselves, not the entire staff here at Darth Hater. Keep that in mind and be respectful in the comments section.
World Quest Arcs
The story on each planet is the same for every character that passes through. This creates a frustrating experience for alt characters, as a majority of quests that any given character will encounter on a planet will be one of these shared world arcs. Disabling the defense turret on the other side of the hill was fresh and exciting the first time, but doing it for the third time on my alt was boring.
Uninteresting Combat & Skill System
There are too many buttons, most of them deal direct damage, and many of the skills you can pick from are percentage increases to damage, healing or defense, or they make a skill useful rather than marginal. Looking back, considering a Razer Naga or similar gaming mouse mandatory for playing the game is a ridiculous notion. However, I don't think I could have played the game and enjoyed it at all without one. I would have been contorting my hand in unusual ways to hit button combos and activate many of my enormous cache of abilities. Either that, or I may have had to become a clicker – perish the thought. The combat itself felt like "standard MMO" combat – d20-based, a little asynchronous, and vanilla. I've had my fill of games that feature melee combatants that hack at each other in close range for a minute until one falls over. My blows should alter my enemy! If I thrust with my saber, my enemy should not continue firing/swinging at me, unfazed. Threat of impalement should be a real threat, as should dismemberment and serious injury.
"Many vs. One" Operations Boss Fights
Four Jedi, two Smugglers and two Troopers all teaming up to fight a big droid doesn't feel Star Wars-y. Most of the "big" battles in the Star Wars universe, in my opinion, should be many vs. many, several vs. several, or uneven in favor of the enemy, not the heroes. Encounters like the Infernal Council in Eternity Vault got it right; ones like Annihilation Droid XRR-3, Soa and Karagga didn't. It's ok to pit several players against a particularly dangerous beast every once in a while, but if we're supposed to be vaunted heroes, Jedi Masters, and beings of immense power and skill. I think that 8-16 of those individuals against one droid or beast, no matter how immense in size, should feel unfair. I would have liked to see more boss fights that pit the operations group against many enemies rather than only a few. The many vs. one boss fight issue also wasn't helped by…
Weak Lightsabers
I swing my Jedi's lightsaber at an enemy, he loses a fraction of his health. I know the game needs to be balanced, but a saber should be severing limbs. Not everyone wears cortosis armor or has Force-augmented ability to dodge attacks! I don't care if Kephess has a personal shield generator – with several experienced Jedi hacking at him with energy swords and a few crack shots unloading a flurry of energy bolts into him, he shouldn't be standing for more than about 10 seconds. The combat is too slow, long, and drawn out.
Long Loading & Travel Times
Going from planet to planet is painful. I don't have a solid state drive, so any time I got onto my ship, off of my ship, onto an orbital station, landed on a planet, changed characters, or even alt-tabbed, I had to wait a protracted amount of time for my computer to catch up. It wouldn't be so bad if the load times were a few seconds, but some of them are upwards of 30 seconds. It adds up. Additionally, the ship – orbital station – planet – combo made jumping into the action on a planet tough, as it took a while to get to the battle front, especially with two loading screens to work through to get there.
The Illusion of Choice
Despite being given two to three options for every dialogue tree, conversations and stories are all fairly linear. Sure, some of my light/dark decisions in Act I & II of my personal story may impact some of the people I see in Act III, but in the short term, the story doesn't change much. (SPOILER ALERT for Jedi Knight story) If I decide to spare, execute, or intimidate Bengel Morr in the Jedi Knight prologue, the Council still sends me to Taris. (END SPOILER ALERT) There's no differentiation in the paths I can take to get to the end. Sure, I understand why BioWare did it this way – it's nearly impossible to keep the story threads straight as is, introducing additional branching and complexity to the class story arcs would have driven the writing team to madness. Still, it was disappointing that no matter how I played Act I, Act II would be fundamentally the same.
Expertise as a PVP Stat
I hate having to keep multiple sets of gear around for different modes of play. I can accept needing different gear for tanking and DPSing in a trinity-based combat system. I dislike, however, having to collect a full set of gear to advance in PVE, but being unable to use it in a Warzone if I want to dabble in PVP. It's difficult for me to express why this bothers me so much, but it's always irked me that player-originated damage is treated differently than NPC-originated damage. Damage is damage is damage – the damage type should matter (physical, energy, elemental, Force…), but the source should not, in my opinion. The true source of this problem is the stat gap between tiers of gear in a gear-dependent system, but I don't know how else to address this problem without giving up the "gear grind" that's supposed to keep players plugging away at the "end-game" content – without the carrot of a significant bump in stats and player potency, there isn't a ton of incentive to keep repeating operations once I've seen the story. There are other games that have come up with a solution for this, but they put more emphasis on timing and active dodging in combat, which would be a big shift in the way combat is handled in SWTOR. Suffice to say, there's a problem here, I didn't like this as a solution in other games, and I still don't like it in SWTOR.

Jukebox musical 'Million Dollar Quartet' celebrates famous 1956 jam session
A fabulous foursome
The legends-in-the-making portrayed in Million Dollar Quartet:
Johnny Cash
• Known for his deep voice and rebellious spirit, the singer-songwriter performed blues, folk, country, gospel, rockabilly and rock 'n' roll. His crossover appeal spurred his induction into the Country Music, Rock and Roll and Gospel Music halls of fame. Signature songs: Folsom Prison Blues, I Walk the Line, Man in Black, Ring of Fire.
Jerry Lee Lewis
(born in 1935)
• Nicknamed "the Killer," the rock pioneer had a series of hits in the late '50s — but his career was undermined by the scandal of marrying a teenage cousin. Signature songs: Breathless, Great Balls of Fire, High School Confidential, Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On.
Carl Perkins
• Dubbed the king of rockabilly, the singer-songwriter was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters, Rockabilly and Rock and Roll halls of fame. His tunes were recorded by Cash, Elvis Presley, the Beatles and Jimi Hendrix. Signature songs: Blue Suede Shoes, Boppin' the Blues, Matchbox.
Elvis Presley
• Often hailed as the King of Rock 'n' Roll or just "the King," and recognized as the best-selling solo artist in popular music, the cultural icon was known for hip-swiveling performances that helped popularize rockabilly, a blend of country with rhythm and blues. He moved rock into the mainstream through his chart-topping records, TV appearances and films. Signature songs: All Shook Up, Heartbreak Hotel, Jailhouse Rock, Love Me Tender, Suspicious Minds.

Early in their careers, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley gathered for a few golden hours on Dec. 4, 1956, at Sun Studio in Memphis, Tenn.
The jam session — the only recording of the four performers together — inspired the musical Million Dollar Quartet, which will begin a weeklong run on Tuesday at the Palace Theatre.
"It has never happened since (with other legends) and probably never will," director Eric Schaeffer said. "I don't think we'd see Barbra Streisand and Madonna and Lady Gaga and Cher ever get together in one room to perform."
Floyd Mutrux and Colin Escott came up with the jukebox musical, which ran for a year (2010-11) on Broadway and another year (2011-12) off-Broadway.Regionally, it has had its greatest success in Chicago — playing there since 2008.
Among the songs in the 105-minute one-act: Blue Suede Shoes, Fever, Great Balls of Fire, Hound Dog, Matchbox, I Walk the Line, Who Do You Love? and Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On.
"It's part rock show, part concert," said David Elkins, who portrays Cash."It's just us and the band, so there's an energy that comes from playing the music live. We see the best of these guys, these four musical legends, interacting — from a fly-on-the-wall perspective."
Elkins initially found his role daunting, even though he plays a 24-year-old Cash — well before the singer became a country-music star.
"His musical abilities are legendary," Elkins said. "Beyond his ability as a singer and songwriter, Cash is the only country guy in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I have immense respect for him and his life story and what he stood for."
Among the trademark hits that Elkins sings: IWalk the Line, Folsom Prison Blues, Ghost Riders in the Sky and Sixteen Tons.
"I used to listen to Johnny and sing along just as a fan, not knowing I was preparing for a job," he said. "So I've had years of practice playing this role.
"In many ways, though, there's only so much you can do. Your voice is your voice. His was honest — a real, true, unaffected baritone that really cuts through.
"He was vulnerable, a genuine person who embodies his stories as a storyteller. . . . But he's got a dangerous side, just below the surface."
When the four young musicians meet to record music together, Cash becomes the "big brother," Elkins said.
"Cash is grounded; he has a great dynamic with all the other guys. Jerry Lee is the young upstart vying for attention, Carl is the slightly under-appreciated father of rockabilly, and Elvis has just gotten back from Hollywood as the golden boy."
The relationships forged among the four were familial, Schaeffer said.
"Sam Phillips (the studio owner) was the dad, with Johnny the eldest, Jerry Lee the spoiled brat, Elvis the huge success story who could do no wrong and poor Carl as the ignored son in the family."
Sibling rivalry occurred, too.
"We kept the relationships real," Schaeffer said, "so you see Carl being frustrated with Elvis singing Blue Suede Shoes (which Perkins wrote and first recorded) and everyone thinking it's Elvis' song."
To help come up with the characters and their interactions, the director listened to tapes of the original session.
"They were sitting around; shooting the breeze; catching up with each other; and, every now and then, picking up the guitar to start singing," he said.
"It surprised me that no one had ever done a show like this before, because it's a great idea for a musical."

Cook is a very good player who had a series where he overachieved and no KP is light years ahead in terns of natural talent Cook disciplined was outstanding this series.
Agree with PEWS here. Cook, as is obvious to even casual observers, doesn't have KP's range of shot, barely hits a ball down the ground for instance.
What he has in spades is discipline and determination. Now he's totally sure where his off stump is he's also (mostly) ignored the balls slanted across him he used to consistently nick behind. Ironically his dismissal at the SCG was "Cook's outs 101", but as he's made 189 at the time one's minded to look past it.
KP's only rival in our XI for the "natural batting ability" stakes is Bell IMHO.

Even if people think discipline and temperament are just as much a talent as strokeplay, colloqiually it's not used in that way.
When someone says about a 14 year old "this kid is very talented, we should nurture him" you don't think "he doesn't get sucked into half volleys outside off stump". You think "he can pull a ball off a length better than most kids his age."

Cheval des Andes 2005 Launched In London
Cheval des Andes winemaker Nicolas Audebert found an interesting way to launch the 2005 vintage of Cheval des Andes – the joint venture between Cheval Blanc's Pierre Lurton and Terrazas de los Andes. He appeared at the Ham Polo Club in south west London atop an Argentine polo pony to play polo with some local wine industry professionals. And it wasn't just a stunt, there does happen to be a polo pitch at Terrazas de los Andes.
The Cheval des Andes is a blend of 50% Malbec, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot s from Terrazas de los Andes' Las Compuertas vineyard located in Mendoza. The fruit of two vines go into each of the limited number of bottles produced. The wine has undergone five weeks of maceration and 18 months French oak barrel ageing resulting in a Bordeaux style with the beefy exuberance of Argentine grapes.
Audebert, who was born in Bordeaux, works with Pierre Lurton of Cheval Blanc and Château d'Yquem to combine Argentine terroir with French wine knowledge.Terrazas de los Andes is owned by luxury conglomerate Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy. The Cheval des Andes 2005 sells for $69.99 on Wine.com.

Question: Do my standard checks include any security features?
Answer: Yes, all Sage checks have built-in security features. However, as check fraud has become more prevalent, Sage Checks and Forms decided to take a proactive approach to help customers prevent it. The MaxProtect Check has nearly tripled the number of security features of our standard check to aid in deterring criminals from trying to wash, lift, and alter sensitive information from checks and assist payees to recognize and not accept fraudulent checks. The MaxProtect Check has a special foil hologram, a thermochromatic heat sensitive icon, visible and invisible fluorescent fibers, and a prismatic multicolored background built into the paper. In addition, the MaxProtect Check paper stock is an exclusive and controlled paper that is produced solely in secure, U.S. Treasury-approved facilities.

Answer: Yes, all checks sold by Sage Checks and Forms are guaranteed to be 100% compatible with your Sage solution, including the MaxProtect Checks. No formatting needed. No forms wasted on misprints. Just enter your data and print!
Question: What is the price difference between the standard checks I have and the MaxProtect Checks?

Answer: Currently, there are three colors to choose from: Hologram Blue, Hologram Green, and Hologram Maroon. Remember, the MaxProtect Checks feature a prismatic multi-colored background with subtle gradations, so even though you order Blue, Green, or Maroon, you will see a color transition—yet another security feature.
Question: What are the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) regulations regarding who is responsible for check fraud if it occurs on my business account?
Answer: The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) regulations place the burden of check fraud on the party that was most negligent in preventing it. Banks may hold business customers accountable if a bank finds customers did not protect themselves from check fraud to the fullest. MaxProtect Checks certainly help remove the liability off the issuer of the check.
Question: Is it true tape can lift sensitive information from checks?
Answer: Customer testimonials have taught us thieves will intercept checks in the mail to lift the payee information and fraudulently alter and endorse checks. For check paper stock that does not have toner adhesion, it is known that using a piece of tape can lift the toner for the payee information from the check, when a laser printer is used to write the check. At that point, a thief can apply any name and cash it. Rest assured, MaxProtect Checks have toner adhesion, allowing the toner to seep into the fabric of the check, making the toner nearly impossible to remove without visible damage to the paper.
Question: How do I order MaxProtect Checks?
Answer: Call 800-617-3224, 8 a.m.–8 p.m. ET (Monday through Friday), to place your order with a Sage check specialist. Order online by visiting www.SageChecks.com and selecting your software solution.

NBA PM: Time to Credit Grunwald for Knicks' Offseason
Say what you want about the age (Jason Kidd, Pablo Prigioni) or conditioning (Raymond Felton) of the New York Knicks' point guards, the chemistry of forwards Carmelo Anthony and Amar'e Stoudemire or even the way the team handled Jeremy Lin's contract situation.
What you absolutely cannot criticize is the way general manager Glen Grunwald has filled out the team's bench.
Like MacGyver building a hot air balloon out of stacks of newspapers, Grunwald has used a favorable labor ruling, the reduced mid-level exception and the expired contracts of bench players to conjure up an elite reserve unit.
In his latest stroke of sanity—a strange phenomenon for the Knicks' front office—Grunwald declined to match Landry Fields' three-year, $20 million offer from the Toronto Raptors, instead reportedly signing Ronnie Brewer for one year at the veteran's minimum (Brewer confirmed the signing on Twitter and NBA.com's David Aldridge is reporting that the deal is for one season).
Yes, Fields had fans at Madison Square Garden. He even played a pivotal role on two playoff teams. But in a side-by-side comparison with Brewer, Fields' production fails to impress.
The 24-year-old Fields has a better career scoring average (9.3 points per game to 9.0) and he had a better rebounding rate last season than the former Chicago Bull (8.5 to 7.9); but the pair had the same assist rate (20.0) and Fields had a significantly higher turnover rate (12.1 to 8.6) in 2011-2012 than Brewer did.
The biggest difference may be on the defensive side where Fields' mediocre athleticism undermined his intelligence. Brewer is generally considered a plus defender with solid athleticism, even if he is three years older than Fields.
Brewer's immediate role is clear. He'll be taking Iman Shumpert's minutes while last year's rookie sensation recovers from a torn ACL. When Shumpert does return, Brewer can fill a back-up role at shooting guard and small forward along with recently signed swingmen J.R. Smith and James White.
Brewer's signing may put a fitting end to a surprisingly productive offseason in New York.
At first, the Knicks seemed poised for a brutal summer given their lack of a first-round draft pick and unfavorable cap situation. The team maintained its confidence in re-signing Lin, a restricted free agent, but players like Steve Novak and Smith seemed lost. Then an independent arbitrator ruled in favor of granting Bird rights and early-Bird rights to qualifying waived players in June, and suddenly the Knicks were able to exceed the salary cap to keep Novak while saving the mini mid-level exception for Kidd.
And while many Knicks fans are upset over the loss of Lin, Grunwald provided a remarkable silver lining by adding Felton in a sign-and-trade deal for spare assets like Jared Jeffries, Dan Gadzuric, the rights to two European players and a second-round pick. Yes, Lin is younger and more athletic than Felton, but the latter has experience playing with both Stoudemire and Tyson Chandler.
It's worth noting that Lin's best basketball came in February, while Anthony recovered from a groin injury; and Anthony won Eastern Conference Player of the Month in April without Lin, who was dealing with a knee injury. As good as Lin was, it's hard to argue that he and Anthony fit together, and since Melo already had a max deal with the team, Grunwald opted for a less-expensive solution (exponentially less expensive considering the luxury tax situation).
Knicks fans also shuddered at the thought of trading three young players (Toney Douglas, Josh Harrellson and Jerome Jordan) to the Houston Rockets for Marcus Camby—a player old enough to share a teammate (John Long) with Bob Lanier—but that's a bad way to look at the transaction.
It's important to remember that Douglas was excluded from the rotation by both Mike D'Antoni and Mike Woodson while Jordan looked awkward in his brief appearances at the NBA level. Harrellson did fill a role for the Knicks, but it's a role Camby has already mastered.
Even at 38, Camby still led the league in rebounding rate while playing 22.9 minutes per game last season (that means he rebounded a higher percentage of missed shots when he's on the floor than any other player in the NBA). It may be too much to ask Camby to be a difference maker at 39, but he's simply backing up the reigning Defensive Player of the Year in Chandler. That's a very reasonable challenge for the veteran.
And for support in that area, Grunwald nabbed Kurt Thomas in the deal with Portland, and he added combo forward Chris Copeland for relatively nothing. Copeland is only 6'8, but his ability to play power forward will help keep Camby and Thomas at the five.
No, the Knicks didn't re-sign Lin and they didn't woo Steve Nash, but the pieces they've added complement the frontcourt, which is ultimately the team's strength.
Perhaps the best way to evaluate the Knicks' offseason is to ask if the team is better than it was at the start of last season. Grunwald can't take credit for all of the progress, but the days of impetuous, irrational decisions from the Knicks' front office might be over.
Kirilenko Returning to NBA?
As we mentioned in yesterday's NBA PM, Andrei Kirilenko might be returning to the NBA this season, and on Tuesday there was another report suggesting as much. Salt Lake Tribune beat writer Brian T. Smith tweeted that Kirilenko "plans to return to #NBA for 2012-2013 season, league source says."
Obviously the Nets are in the running for Kirilenko's services, but they can only offer the veteran's minimum. Meanwhile, keep an eye on the Utah Jazz—Kirilenko's former team—the Golden State Warriors and the Indiana Pacers, all three of which can offer more money and will be competing for a playoff spot this season.
Kirilenko played for CSKA Moscow last season with…
Alexey Shved Finalizes Deal With Timberwolves
As expected, Alexey Shved has agreed to a three-year, $10 million contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves, according to a report by Ray Richardson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press and another by R-Sport, Russia's news agency.
Shved was a budding young star with CSKA Moscow, where he averaged 10.6 points and 3.0 assists while hitting 49.3 percent of his three-point attempts in Russian League play. He's capable of playing both guard positions, but the presence of Ricky Rubio will keep Shved at shooting guard.

So he has kicked off a new campaign called "no labels", which is designed to ramp up pressure on politicians to do their jobs.
For example, Congress hasn't approved a federal budget in almost four years. that's something they're supposed to do every year.
"Number one, no budget, no pay. No bill, no spending bill, no pay," says Huntsman.
If Huntsman's proposal was actually the law today, everyone in Congress wouldn't have seen a paycheck since they last approved a budget, over three years ago.
Huntsman believes we would see a lot more production from our elected leaders if this type of motivation was in place.
You can join the movement at nolabels.org.

Pretty dotty
Who doesn't love sleeping?
After eating it has to be one of my most favoured activities. It's just not usually that photogenic, or there'd be more photos of it alongside food shots on Instagram and Pinterest.
What you sleep on, however, is extremely photogenic.
If you know me, you know my love of all things vintage. I scour op shops for old clothes, shoes, silk scarves, tea cosies, tepots (I really like tea) and baby handknits - just about everything, really. But great quality linen sheets are really hard to find and I think, best bought new for really gorgeous, crisp, beautiful ones.
Thread has found a kindred spirit in loving fabulous linens in ex-Brit, now New Zealand resident, Laura of Laura Thomas Linens. Laura has launched her business around the love of, as she says, "going to sleep wrapped around crisp, clean bed linen."
She started the business in Edinburgh 2010. She was sitting in bed one crisp spring Sunday morning, looking through her bedroom window at Edinburgh Castle when a thought arose. What did the bedlinen of Kings and Queens past look like? She put this thought into action and developed Laura Thomas Linens; contemporary bedlinen using the ancient art of hand embroidery, with the highest quality 400 thread count 100% cotton.
Thread ordered the Spots duvet and pillowslips ($196) from the Laura Thomas classics collection. It has the most gorgeous hand-embroidered corded stitch within a blue border of coloured hand embroidered spots in blue, yellow, red and green. It feels AMAZING to sleep on. It comes with Oxford pillowcases with the same border, and the duvet closes with buttons.
They have free worldwide delivery which makes it really affordable to get it where you live. This is how my package arrived; tied up with ribbon in brown paper.
The linen is fully approved by bears...
...and by the toughest critics of all: cats.

Brooklyn >
Beauty > Art Of Natural Beauty Center239 Court St , Brooklyn, NY | Directions
Mon-Sun 10am-9pm
Neighborhoods: Cobble Hill
I came here for a consultation about 3 weeks ago regarding some sun spots on my face. I had noticed on their website that they were using the Cynosure Elite MPX which had multiple good reviews online. I had one treatment and saw a drastic change in my skin. The treatment itself only took 15 mins, within a week the area scabbed up a little bit and then fell off. The pigmentation was almost completely gone, I didn't even have to apply make up! I came in for a touch up treatment and now two weeks later my face looks flawless! This place does wonders! I highly recommend Julia and Kate (the two technicians that worked with me).
they have this new super high tech laser hair removal and i've always been pretty self conscious of my back hair so i thought i'd give it a try. works wonders! and the technicians are really nice. it's pretty pricey, but worth it.
Excellent teen facial – My daughter is 13 and has periodic breakouts but terrible blackheads. Seeing a dermatologist just gives her medication. I convinced her to try a facial and she was very nervous the first time. Katie was amazing! Totally recognized that she was nervous, modest and overall kind of weirded out at the process. Katie made her feel very comfortable and relaxed. We've been back several times and she always does a fantastic job and it's a very pleasant experience for my daughter. Last time we even had Katie do her eyebrows. She wouldn't wax - said she's too young and her skin is too delicate. She did an unbelievable job tweezing them. I highly recommend going.
Best spa in BK – I love not having to go into the city to get good spa services. Their prices are a lot more affordable too and it's one of those places where you feel instantly comfortable.
AWESOME – The service is perfect and the atmosphere is exactly what we look for when we come to a spa. Everybody is very patient and polite. I have tried many spas before but this experience was the best by far.
Friend recommended them – I went to art of natural with a bit of hesitation cuz I'm always nervous trying out new spas but my friend swore by them and she and i usually agree on everything--and this was definitely a good call on her part. I could not get over how cheap they are and for such legit services! My new fave spa :)
Great waxing pros – Wouldn't trust anyone else with my waxing needs...and they're so affordable and nice!!!
Best Spa in Brooklyn – I've lived in Brooklyn my entire life, and never knew about this place till one of my friends wife started working here. I said "Eh--why not, I'll give it a shot." I am SO glad that i did! I love the specials that they offer (not to mention the convenience of booking your appointment online and instant gift certificates!
Love this spa – Their entire staff is just so sweet and makes you feel so comfortable. All of their rooms are very relaxing and clean--the entire time you're there you feel completely relaxed.
B'klyn's Best Day Spa!!!!! – What a great place to get in zen, their friendly staff always gives exceptional service. Warm and friendly greeting everytime I walk in with a tea offering, even if you are only shopping for products. Everyone is very knowledgable with the products, they ask me questions to determine what I am looking for not just trying to sell me product that I don't need. Weather its getting a massage done, getting a facial or laser . It is definitely some place I send my friends to. Great prices and great service. I leave feeling like I was VIP everytime.

Getting to Proficiency: Helping Maine Graduate Every Student Prepared
Getting to Proficiency: Helping Maine Graduate Every Student Prepared provides technical assistance, resources and guidance for school districts to implement the proficiency-based diploma, and to do so in a way that promotes student learning and achievement of the Maine Learning Results.
Many Maine schools have already begun implementing proficiency-based learning to ensure that their students graduate from high school with the skills they need for success in college, careers and civic life. In proficiency-based learning, time is the variable and learning driven by rigorous standards is the constant. See best practices from Maine schools for implementation of proficiency-based learning.
Proficiency-based educators in Maine are seeing increased student engagement, increased personalization of instruction and increased targeting of interventions to the specific needs of students. Educators also report that implementation of a proficiency-based system leads to greater collaboration and articulation of curriculum within and across schools, more reflective practice and a greater capacity to respond to the individual needs of students. The reporting system provides parents with more specific information about their child's growth and achievement. Parents are better able to understand school and grade-level expectations and more thoroughly support their child in achieving those expectations.
Wondering where to start? Take the self-assessment.

Dear God-- saw a preview-- the View on Steroids!!!Women´s Rights, (reproductive) Better Budgeters-- Whay can´t we all get along-- All of them think we´ll have a female candidate for pres in 2016.Way too much estrogen!
SAid to my wife this morning; and lived to tell y´all about it- that we made two mistakes in America:We chose not to harvest our own crops.We thought that women could handle the repsonsibility of voting.Wrong, wrong wrong...........present company excepted of course but if I had to sacrifice your vote to regain the America we all knew and love I´d do it in a heartbeat.
Well, as angry as we all are at congress, perhaps realizing that these men will have to deal with all these women pmsing at the same time will be some comfort.
Seriously? Why don´t we judge these women on their performance rather than their gender. I have a feeling that these women have more cajones than some of the GOP men.
How many final nails can there be in America's coffin?
Pardon my overt sexism but why is this a news story? What is is about women that everytime they do anything, they want special recognition?Unless, of course, it involves staying home and raising their children.The democrats are rapidly destroying our country and ABC is crowing about the number of women in the Senate. God what an awful organization ABC is. Aptly named writer, too, Sullen.
God help us.Query: What makes conservative women so intelligent and liberal women so blasted stupid (especially the purportedly "book smart" ones with "Professor" in front of their names. See, e.g., Warren, Elizabeth)?I demand answers.
"... more collaborative," Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, said.Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., said by nature women are "less confrontational."Sen-elect Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, says that women are "problem solvers."Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., says that women have a camaraderie which helps in relationships that are key to negotiations on Capitol Hill, something she says comes natural to women more than men.Uh huh, oh yeah, you betcha, sure thing, without a doubt, no question about it, whatever you say, dear. [Did I just arrive from Mars or am I to disregard everything I´ve observed since the first day 60 years ago when I first attended co-ed kindergarten?]
You watch. It´ll come down to the pants vs. the skirts as gals have taken to heart "save the women and children!" leaving men on deck to sink with the ship. Men are inferior wastrels after all, no? Animals-- deserving of uproarious crotch-kicks.
Cat fights, cliques, snubbing, back-stabbing. Yeah, girls get along great. Maybe not as overt and violent as the males, but it´s still there.I´ll be glad when we stop having this all "historic" nonsense. Wait, what, it´s not ever going to stop? (sigh)
I agree that it´s too bad that after all these years a story like this is still news.I am, however, glad to see some Republican faces among the female Senators. Let´s hope they indeed have the cajones (as #4 says) to keep their lefty sisters´ ideas in check.
As a woman who has worked with women I feel sort of sorry for all of them. As sorry as I can feel for any politician right now.
Does this mean they will stop blaming white men for all the problems in the world? Does this mean when they do the same thing they usually do (women certainly haven´t proven to be effective in cutting spending, just the opposite) that the Kneepad media will put the blame on them and not the men? Does this mean that the killing spree in Chicago will suddenly stop? Does this mean that the welfare state will suddenly come under control? Will unlimited unemployment welfare stop? Of course not. All this means is we have a new set of incompetents with no desire or intent to actually goobern.
It´s not their gender that matters, it´s their policies and their ability to lead. I´d take 100 Margaret Thatchers in our Senate over one moderate male RINO.
Ya know, I don´t give a rats patoot if they are female, male, red, yellow, green or blue, as long as they´re qualified, but all that doesn´t matter anymore. What a mess.
Nancy Pelosi has forever eliminated any special expectation or celebration of more females in Congress.
Four responsible Americans and 16 lefty witches like Granny Warren, the fake Indian.
Lets take a second and imagine if a male comedian performed pseudo oral sex on a CNN anchorwoman on a live broadcast. What would these 20 senators say? Maybe by the year 2050, we´ll have 40 female senators..... in burqas
The Senate will still be much less feminine than the media.
Repeal the 17th Amendment now!
considering that unmarried women put Clinton and 0bama in office, not sure what this portends.
I thought we were over making distinctions between men and women.Why is the AP still harping on how many women are in the Senate?
They could at least include a sidebar from the Science Editor on how the vagina is connected to the brain. Oh, that´s right, this is a religion piece. . . /s
Among the "4 responsible Americans" - please, please, please - just one Dagny Taggart? Or does shoe only exist in Ayn Rand´s imagination?
Already posted at http://www.lucianne.com/thread/?artnum=717512.
I attended a Pennsylvania Bar Institute training session in 1980, the only non lawyer present.And during the lunch break, I sat with several female and male lawyers. We had a discussion about the increase of women practicing law, and I offered the comment that with more women attorneys, perhaps legal conflicts, especially divorce proceedings, would become more gentle.A woman lawyer glared at me, and said that when she represents a woman in a divorce proceeding, she will rip off the husband´s testicles to win.I stopped talking.
And Diane Sawyer couldn´t put words together to ask " if there are so many female senators who are democrat,s why aren´t women included in the WH meetings"?

Celebrities like Kelly Osbourne and Lucy Hale transition into spring with chic leather jackets.
The easy-to-wear trend works with everything from faded jeans to floral dresses, and because it's a timeless piece is a true investment purchase. So give your trusty cardigan a rest and try a shrunken, cropped fit, like Kelly Osbourne. If you're in need of some transitional outwear that's as cozy as it is cool, look to Rachel Bilson, whose slouchy number works for the drabbest of spring days.

- How can I preserve my family photographs for my grandchildren?
- I have a collection of film negatives. Is it a good idea to store them in my refrigerator?
- I have some glass plate negatives. What is the best way to care for them?
- I have an album with photographs that have been pasted onto the pages. Is there a safe way to remove the photos from the pages?
How can I preserve my family photographs for my grandchildren?
Place your photographs in either plastic or paper enclosures that are free of sulfur, acids, and peroxides. Preservation quality paper enclosures can be found in both buffered (pH 7.5-9.5) and unbuffered stock; buffered enclosures are preferable for deteriorated prints on poor-quality mounts. Stable plastic enclosures made of uncoated polyester film (Dupont Mylar Type D or ICI Melinex 516), uncoated cellulose triacetate, polyethylene, or polypropylene can also be used. All materials used for storing photographic collections should pass the PAT (Photographic Activity Test) and will be marked as such by suppliers of high quality photographic enclosures.
Store photographs in a closet or air-conditioned room — not the attic or basement — at 68° F and 30-40% relative humidity (HR). Higher humidity levels speed up deterioration; very low humidity may cause prints to crack, peel or curl. If relative humidity cannot be controlled consistently below 80%, plastic enclosures should not be used, because photographs may stick to the surface of plastic.
Avoid exposing photographic materials to anything containing sulfur dioxide, fresh paint fumes, plywood, cardboard, or fumes from cleaning supplies. Also avoid acidic paper envelopes and sleeves, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic, rubber bands, paper clips, and poor-quality adhesives such as pressure-sensitive tapes and rubber cement. Cheap, readily available "drugstore type" photo albums, or albums with sticky adhesive pages, should not be utilized; instead, use photo corners to mount photographs. For guidance on finding suitable storage materials, see the FAQ on archival suppliers.
For more information, consult the Library of Congress publication Caring for Your Photographic Collections.
I have a collection of film negatives. Is it a good idea to store them in my refrigerator?
Photographic materials should be kept in proper environmental conditions. While, in general, lower temperatures will always be better for photographic materials, relative humidity is the single most important factor in preserving most items of this type. Conditions around 68° F and 30-40% relative humidity are appropriate and the easiest to maintain in enclosed areas, such as an interior closet or an air-conditioned room. High temperatures and high relative humidity levels (above 60%) will accelerate deterioration, as can fluctuations in temperature or humidity; this makes some spaces, such as attics or basements, inappropriate for storing photographic materials.
For more information, refer to the Library of Congress publication Caring for Your Photographic Collections.
I have some glass plate negatives. What is the best way to care for them?
Appropriate environmental and storage conditions are key to the longevity of glass plate negatives. Maintain relative humidity between 30% and 40% and temperature between 65° and 70° Fahrenheit. Housing materials and shelving must be strong enough to bear the weight of the glass plate negatives. Boxes should be clearly labeled "fragile/glass" and "heavy."
For more information, see the Library of Congress publication Caring for Your Photographic Collections, Preservation of 19th-Century Negatives in the National Archives by Constance McCabe in the Journal of the Americal Institute for Conservation 30 (1991)no. 1, and the Conserve-O-Gram Caring for photographs: special formats [PDF: 699 KB / 4 p.] (National Park Service).
I have an album with photographs that have been pasted onto the pages. Is there a safe way to remove the photos from the pages?
It can be very difficult to remove photos that are adhered to pages. If not done by an experienced professional, the potential to incur irreversible damage is high. The American Institute for Conservation (AIC) provides a free conservator referral service where you may select the type of conservation service you need, identify your geographical area, and receive a list of local conservators. For more information about the care and storage of your photographic collections, refer to the Library of Congress publications Caring for Your Photographic Collections and Care, Handling, and Storage of Photographs. Other useful resources include Preserving Photographs from the National Archives and Record Administration and Care of Photographs from the Northeast Document Conservation Center.

Any printed or pictorial material containing representations of sexually obscene behavior, intended to sexually arouse its audience.
There is an obvious and necessary imprecision in this definition of the term pornography, in the sense that what is considered to be sexually obscene behavior, and, for that matter, what might sexually arouse an audience, vary quite widely from time to time, from place to place, and from individual to individual. Nearly all modern societies have laws that prohibit the possession or distribution of at least some forms of pornography, although the statutory suppression and criminalization of sexually obscene material is a relatively recent phenomenon, and is significantly predated by the legal censorship of material that was judged to be sacrilegious or antireligious (religiously obscene) or seditious or treasonous (politically obscene). Generally, laws against pornography have been based on the controversial assumption that exposure to pornography morally corrupts individuals and is a cause of sexual crimes. In the United States, legislation concerning pornography dates from the middle of the 19th century. Since that time, the admittedly elusive legal definition of what constitutes pornography and can be regulated by law has evolved into material that portrays sexual conduct in a patently offensive way and appeals to prurient...

Pornography (West's Encyclopedia of American Law)
The representation in books, magazines, photographs, films, and other media of scenes of sexual behavior that are erotic or lewd and are designed to arouse sexual interest.
Pornography is the depiction of sexual behavior that is intended to arouse sexual excitement in its audience. During the twentieth century, Americans debated whether pornographic material should be legally protected or banned. Those who believe pornography must be protected argue that the FIRST AMENDMENT to the U.S. Constitution guarantees freedom of expression, including sexual expression. Traditional opponents of pornography raise moral concerns, arguing that the First Amendment does not protect expression that corrupts people's behavior. Toward the end of the century, some feminists advocated suppressing pornography because it perpetuates gender stereotypes and promotes violence against women.
Pornography has been regulated by the legal standards that govern the concept of OBSCENITY, which refers to things society may consider disgusting, foul, or immoral, and may include material that is blasphemous. Pornography is limited to depictions of sexual behavior and may not be obscene.
The U.S. Supreme Court has established that obscenity is not protected by the First Amendment. The more troublesome question has been defining what is and is not obscene. In 1957, the U.S. Supreme...

Pornography (American History Through Literature)
The term "pornography" did not appear in the English language before 1857 and did not enter American usage until the late nineteenth century. Until then, Americans referred to objectionable literature as "blasphemous," "obscene," or "indecent." Prior to 1820 the slow growth of literacy and the high expense of books erotic or otherwise generally limited circulation. In 1821, however, in the first recorded American prosecution of literary indecency, Massachusetts jailed Peter Holmes and Stillman Howe for selling John Cleland's Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure (also known as Fanny Hill, 1748), a book previously owned by only affluent Americans such as Benjamin Franklin and William Byrd. Isaiah Thomas, the distinguished printer, ran off a few pages of Fanny Hill sometime between 1786 and 1814 but did not complete the project. Other printers, however, soon used new steam presses (1814) to pirate bawdy imports such as Cleland's novels and Laurence Sterne's Tristram Shandy.
Unlike Massachusetts, most states remained unconcerned about erotica. On his 1831832 visit, Alexis de Tocqueville observed that the United States had few laws against "licentious books" because lack of demand meant that no Americans wanted to write them (1:265). As if to contradict de Tocqueville, McDowall's Journal, issued by the Reverend John McDowall in 1833, inveighed against the proliferation of erotica in New York City, whose population had risen sharply since the completion of the Erie Canal in 1825. In 1834 McDowall assembled an exhibit of "indecent" books, pamphlets, papers, prints, and playing cards for fellow ministers. Twelve years later Henry Ward Beecher (1813887) complained that tasteless literature was by then epidemic (p. 211). The increase was associated not only with the rampant prostitution in American cities but also with the tumultuous politics of the Jacksonian era and the growth of a large work-force created by industrialization.
Historians have observed that obscenity often drives democratic movements as aggrieved groups level charges of misconduct at aristocrats or politicians. During the 1830s and 1840s radical American journalists used sexual invective to call for social and political reform in cities such as Boston, New York, and Philadelphia. Like other professionals, such journalists were drawn to a subculture called "the sporting life," the term applied to a volatile stratum of restless young males who worked in the cities' factories and businesses by day and roistered by night. The sporting life also flourished in the seedy sectors of riverboat towns in Ohio and West Virginia. Those western frontiers also generated bawdy works such Davy Crockett's Almanac of Wild Sports of the West, and Life in the Backwoods (1835), but sporting-life literature was more closely associated with the eastern seaboard. Here, for the first time, domestic sexual expression began to compete with classic European erotica.
Out of the masculine realm of prizefights, billiard rooms, poker dens, cockfight arenas, racetracks, music halls, saloons, and bordellos sprang the sporting press: cheap newspapers that were at first little more than catalogs of amusements. Presses on Ann and Nassau Streets in New York, in a district known at the time for its whorehouses, increasingly became partisan, as Jacksonian Democratic editors savaged Whig politicians. The Whip, The Flash, The Weekly Rake, and The Libertine often caught their political opponents patronizing brothels and bawdy music halls and charged them with hypocrisy and immorality. Some publishers blackmailed their targets by threatening to run exposés unless they were paid not to, but others seemed sincere in their outrage and identified themselves as crusaders determined to crush corruption.
Sporting papers led to penny papers, sensational novels, and the new writing class that produced them. The most famous penny newspapers, Benjamin Day's (1810889) New York Sun (1833) and James Gordon Bennett's (1795872) New York Herald (1835), attacked the sporting papers on "moral" grounds that scarcely disguised eagerness to destroy their rivals. In turn, the penny newspapers slightly sanitized the sexual scandal that was the sporting papers' stock-in-trade by transforming it into crime reporting, a species of salacious subliterature. Just as important, sporting papers extruded sensational novelists. Conservatives denounced as depraved George Lippard's (1822854) The Quaker City; or, The Monks of Monk Hall: A Romance of Philadelphia Life, Mystery, and Crime (1846). A radical newspaper editor, labor organizer, feminist, and reformer, Lippard wrote The Quaker City as a tale of seduction, revenge, forgery, drugs, and murder based on actual Philadelphia events. Its immense popularity triggered imitators of the "city mystery," most of them more sexually candid than Lippard, and influenced writers including Mark Twain (Samuel Langhorne Clemens, 1835910) and Walt Whitman (1819892); the latter, a newspaper editor himself, often printed scandal and actually tried to write a "city mystery" called "Proud Antoinette" in the late 1850s. Edgar Allan Poe (1809849) based his "The Mystery of Marie Roget" (1842) on an abortion scandal of 1841.
The most prolific author of city mysteries was George Thompson (1823. 1873). Also editor of The Broadway Belle (1855858), a sporting paper, Thompson wrote magazine serials, pamphlets, and novels (perhaps as many as sixty), often under the pen name of "Greenhorn." Of several publishers who printed Thompson's fiction, George Ackerman (sometimes spelled Akarman or Akerman) is representative. Ackerman operated a press at 167 William Street in New York. Here he issued sensational works under his own name, and "fancy" or "rich" titles (that is, erotic) under the imprint of "James Ramerio." In the first category was Flora Montgomery, the Factory Girl: Tale of the Lowell Factories. Being a Recital of the Adventures of a Libidinous Millionaire, Whose Wealth Was Used as a Means of Triumphing Over Virtue (1856), by "Sparks." Henry Spencer Ashbee, the great English bibliographer of erotic texts, points out that there is nothing "libidinous" in this story of social justice wrought by Flora, who, after having been duped into a sham marriage, leads a strike that ruins the factory owner who seduced her. By contrast, "James Ramerio" published Thompson's much racier Venus in Boston (1849) and a tabloid, Venus's Miscellany (1856. 1857), whose stories of wives seeking illicit pleasures, augmented by engravings of embracing couples, led to Ackerman's arrest.
David Reynolds has argued that Venus in Boston is the first truly pornographic American novel. As Ashbee notes, however, its tales of "low-life"bduction, attempted rape, confidence swindles, and murderualify only as "semi-erotica." Two other contenders for "first" are more plausible. Appearing also in 1849, Madge Bufford: A Lively Letter to a Lonely Lover. What Uncle Bob taught her; and how she profited by his instruction with men and women black and white, with diversions among the quadrupeds. Showing that Yankee gals, grope, gape, gallopive and take the salacious sweet as sensually as their smutty sisters over the sea contains prurient descriptions of intercourse, sodomy, voyeurism, and miscegenation. The second candidate, also published in 1849, is D'Amour La Rose: or, The Adventures of a Gentleman in Search of Pleasure, whose equally anonymous American author (the legend "translated from the French" is fraudulent) set his story in Europe; here a rich rakehell deflowers women in castles, clubs, and brothels.
Deciding which was the first domestic pornographic novel is less important than observing that erotic fiction had entered a new phase as immigration, education, science (and pseudoscience), and feminism fostered greater awareness of the body and sexuality. From the Midwest came calls for female "dress reform," an attempt to replace shroud-like attire with pantaloons and bloomers. Faddists such as Sylvester Graham (1794851) and John Harvey Kellogg (1852943) crusaded against masturbation and intercourse, prescribing vegetarian diets, celibacy, and enemas as curbs to sensual appetites. At the other extreme, members of communitarian movements as diverse as the Oneida Community (1848) and the Brotherhood of the New Life (1861) engaged in physical unions justified by spiritual desire. After Robert Owen (1771858) purchased the Harmony Community (Indiana), a colony that originally endorsed celibacy, his son Robert Dale Owen (1801877) became the first to advocate birth control in America (in Moral Physiology [1830]). Doctrines of "free love" that would reach an apogee in the 1870s attracted feminists such as Victoria Woodhull (1838927) and freethinkers such as Ezra Hervey Heywood (1829893) because of their advocacy of birth control and the right of women to choose their partners. Their publications on such subjects were routinely suppressed as obscene. Thompson's Fanny Greeley; or, Confessions of a Free-Love Sister Written by Herself (c. 1865) charged freethinkers with promoting extramarital sex; its title probably twitted rival editor Horace Greeley (1811872) as well.
Because such trends seemed to undermine social order, moralists attempted to impose control over what they thought of as the easily inflamed passions of women, immigrants, and the urban poor. The outlawing of "low" fiction, ostensibly a matter of setting standards of taste, aimed to preserve fragile class and gender boundaries. Conservatives worried especially about the effects of romances written for women and about the curiosity stimulated by marriage manuals and physiology texts. In 1850 Dr. Frederick Hollick published his Marriage Guide, the first of an astonishing five hundred editions. It focused on female masturbation, which had been one of the major motifs, according to Peter Wagner, of erotica in the eighteenth century. Hollick's book was followed by Seth Pancoast's The Ladies' Medical Guide and Marriage Friend (1859), which expanded on the female orgasm but warned against lesbianism, and by Harmon Knox Root's The Lover's Marriage Lighthouse (1858), which cautioned against the use of dildoes, an indication that they were common. Images of female sexual appetites, at once frightening and titillating to Civil War soldiers separated from wives, informed steadily more explicit male-oriented pornography. Scenes of homosexuality appeared only occasionally in texts otherwise aimed at heterosexual audiences; the market for exclusively homosexual erotic genres was small, uncertain, and dangerous, as reaction to Whitman's hardly pornographic Leaves of Grass (1855) would soon demonstrate.
By the late 1850s the reformer William Sanger (d. 1894) pointed out that newsboys around hotels, steamboat docks, and railway stations in New York sold "lecherous" publications surreptitiously but freely. Books and sexual appliances were available by mail from cities as large as New Orleans and towns as small as Georgetown, Ohio. The Civil War dramatically increased the number of dealers in both North and South, and advertisements quickly found their way into the trenches on both sides.
Typical was a notice in the September 1863 issue of Ormsby's New York Mail Bag: A Journal of Wit, Humor, and Romance (86 Nassau Street, New York City), which offered Ovid's Art of Love; "Gay & Witty Novels" such as Confessions of a Voluptuous Young Lady of High Rank, Bertha; or, The Adventures of a Spring Mattress, The Private Looking Glass; or, Secrets of Nature, The Amours of a Quaker, The Intrigues and Amours of Aaron Burr, and Confessions of a Boarding School Miss; as well as another manual by the prolific Dr. Hollick, The Male Generative Organs in Health and Disease (1853). Aside from the Hollick text, only one of these titles, The Intrigues and Amours of Aaron Burr (n.d.), was by an American, a proportion similar to that in the booklists of other dealers. A few ambitious American original erotic novels did appear, with titles such as The Life and Amours of the Beautiful, Gay and Dashing Kate Percival, The Belle of the Delaware, Written by Herself, Voluptuous, Exciting, Amorous and Delighting (1864) and Amours of an American Adventurer in the New World and the Old (1865), but most American erotic fiction was short, as was evident from the catalog of "Cupid's Own Library" (the first in the series was a twenty-nine-page illustrated pamphlet called Amours of a Modest Man [1864], by "A. Bachelor").
Postwar traffic in trashy books attracted the notice of increasingly alarmed authorities. In 1865 a federal mail statute prohibited the shipment across state lines of obscene materials, but the law seemed directed as much at birth control information as at erotic fiction. In 1868 conservatives and progressives formed the American Railway Literary Union, modeled on the Pure Literature Society of England, to persuade news-dealers along transportation routes not to handle books that were "unseemly" or "questionable," categories that often included dime novels of thrilling adventure and romance (pp. 3). Although the latter types managed to survive the efforts to censor them, campaigns against truly explicit fiction became more draconian and drove genuine pornography underground for the remainder of the century.
