Because of the story's occasional macabre and potentially frightening content, it has become a regular target of the censors and is #56 on the American Library Association's top 100 list of most frequently challenged books. YES, I said J.A.T.G.P is banned in many children's libraries .

Zero and infinity .

watch this disturbing stuff

The main character in this 153-page novel was a married woman with 2 children, Edna Pontellier. Her "awakening" is of a woman growing to discover herself, her highly independent nature, and of course has a sensuous affair with another man, all of which were unheard of in that time.

She reminds me of the person Kate Chopin, the author, was reported to be of herself; although married with 6 children, she was exceptional unconventional and progressive for her time period. Marriage did nothing to prevent her from being so. She dressed unconventionally, took long unchaperoned walks, and smoked cigarettes. Upon her husband's sudden death, she took over the management of the Chopin family plantation in Louisiana and began writing seriously; short stories and two novels.
Now back to our story. Edna, her husband, and two boys are staying in a beach cottage in France. Mr. Pontellier, who the husband is usually referred to, has a brokerage business, and is frequently away working in the city. He is a traditional man of the times, and goes out at night to play pool and comes back late with money he has won. However, he is leaving Edna alone to her male friend, Robert, and to spend most of her days the way she wishes to. Robert does get frequent crushes on women, but the women merely flirt with him and remain married to their husbands in the way one would expect of them. Edna's best friend, Madame Ratignolle is truly the antithesis of Edna, is a devoted wife and protective maternal figure towards her children, and extremely feminine in appearance.
Edna is in no way a victim in this book. Her awakening to her new lifestyle is entirely of her own choosing. She does not need a man to complete her, although men are attracted to her, (more than one), she is strong, and autonomous in her own right. She takes huge risks and defies all of the rules set upon her by her husband and society. She becomes a modern woman.
This novel is beautifully written, and Chopin is a master in creating this, her last novel and writing. chopin was devastated by the harsh criticism that surrounded her novel's publication. That is why she stopped writing, and died 5 years later. If it weren't for women like Kate Chopin, who knows where women would be today. Thank God for all of those who rebelled against all of the conventions. This book might even inspire someone to attain new goals and move ahead in her own path.

The ghost belongs to me!:::

1913. Alexander Armsworth is a normal boy until he sees a ghost of a girl in his barn, warning him of an impending disaster. This leads to him to become a local hero, but when he explains that a ghost warned him. It unburies the story on how she came to rest on their property, far from her home in New Orleans, Louisiana. He takes it upon himself to take her body home to New Orleans.
Main characters

Alexander Armsworth
13 years old, and a 7th grader at Horace Mann Middle School, he is informed by his classmate Blossom Culp, that he is receptive to ghosts. When she also tells him his barn is haunted, he thinks that she is playing a trick on him. Eventually he meets the ghost of Inez Dumaine, the ghost that haunts his barn. With her help he saves the lives of others when a mad man who weakened and set a fire to the supports for the trestle in hopes to crash the trolley. He becomes a famous local hero, but when he explains he had help from a ghostly source, it leads to a journey to return her body to New Orleans. With the help of Blossom, he eventually returns her body to New Orleans, to be placed within her family’s crypt.
Blossom Culp
She is a 12 year old girl, who first informs Alexander of his ability to see ghosts. She lives in a shack by the trolley tracks, and she helps out Alexander on his trip to return Inez’s body to New Orleans.Uncle Miles Armsworth
Alexander’s great uncle. He is a carpenter who works as he pleases. He is the only one who knew the history of Captain Campbell, and Inez Dumaine. He accompanies Blossom and Alexander to New Orleans, and to see to it that Inez returns home.
Inez Dumaine
She is the ghost that haunts the Armsworth barn. She warns Alexander about the man who damaged the trestle bridge, so he could save others. She tells him her body is buried nearby and asks to be returned to her family, who were “above ground, but they rest.”

BOOK TWO:::
Blossom Culp: fourteen-year-old girl, outcast, troublemaker, Gypsy, psychic? Living on the edge of Bluff City’s society, in a tiny dwelling furnished with whatever they can scrounge or with what mama’s skills as a Seer can earn, Blossom Culp is a bit of a misfit. After events on Halloween Night cause an uproar at school the next day, Lizzie finds herself embraced by some of those in Bluff City “who have already arrived,” as she delicately puts it. To the great distress of the stuck-up Letty Shambaugh, Blossom makes an appearance at the former’s little after school girl’s club. When Bluff City’s mean girls try to embarrass Blossom with a seance, she turns the table on them with aplomb—until the Universe turns the tables on Blossom herself. Suddenly burdened with the Sight, Blossom saves Letty’s brother’s life and gains a patroness, the eccentric Anglophile spinster Miss Dabney.

With Miss Dabney’s support and interest, Blossom explores her abilities, soon freeing Miss Dabney’s own ghost hired girl Minerva from her eternal torment. As a rousing second act, Blossom first appropriates then discredits the act of a traveling spiritualist, gaining widespread notoriety in the process. But it is when she is called to the carpet by her principal Miss Spaulding, and interviewed by a local newspaperman, that Blossom really gets going. When asked by Miss Spaulding and Mr Seaforth for a demonstration of her Powers—with the idea of disproving them, natch—Blossom sinks into a trance that takes her to a small boy named Julian, left by his parents to drown in Arctic waters. Coming to again, Blossom is soaked with icy salt water, and clutching a blanket embroidered, Royal Steamship Titanic.

Puritan Monster::

The other day, I finished Eve LaPlante's American Jezebel, a biography of Anne Hutchinson:

I won't review it now, and may not do so here at all. Still haven't decided, though I'll recommend it generally. (I will give in to the temptation to yet again recommend Linebaugh and Rediker's The Many-Headed Hydra:)



But I did want to share one story from the book that struck me. It concerns a stillbirth of Mary Dyer in Boston in 1637 and the responses to it:

Only three weeks before her trial, on a balmy October night in 1637, Hutchinson had sought and received private advice from [John] Cotton about a matter that, had the other ministers learned of it, would have caused an outcry. The matter was the birth of a deformed stillborn to a Boston couple, an event that most of their neighbors would have seen as evidence of God’s displeasure with the baby’s parents.

On October 17, Mary Dyer, the twenty-six-year-old wife of the milliner, William Dyer, went into labor two months before her due date and lost consciousness. The midwife Jane Hawkins, who was attending her at home, sent a man on horseback to summon Mistress Anne Hutchinson to assist in the birth. Later that evening, with both midwives present, Mary Dyer delivered a stillborn female with extensive deformities of the head, spinal column, and extremities.

To protect Mary and her husband from public shame, Hutchinson and Hawkins swaddled the tiny corpse, concealing its deformities. When Mary Dyer regained consciousness, the midwives told her only that her baby had died. But what to do with the body? Anne Hutchinson proposed that they bury it and not speak of it again. The risk of this, as both she and Jane Hawkins knew, was that if townspeople heard what had happened, they would suspect evil intent, which would only intensify the Dyers’ shame. English common law allowed a midwife to bury a dead baby in private, as long as ‘neither hog nor dog nor any other beast come into it’, but the Massachusetts court had forbidden this practice as a way of preventing attempts at abortion. Anne Hutchinson thought to ask Reverend Cotton for his advice.

Well past midnight, she walked from the Dyers’ house, at the corner of what is now Summer Street, to the Cottons’ gabled mansion…

…Anne tapped on the parlor window, and the minister let her in. in the candlelight, she described Mary Dyer’s birthing and requested his counsel.

Yes, conceal it, Cotton agreed, aware of the English custom and law. She thanked him and went back out into the night. Before dawn, she and Jane Hawkins buried the baby. According to one account, Cotton accompanied the midwives and dug the grave. A few other women who had been present at the difficult birth knew of the baby’s state. But no man in the colony save John Cotton, William Dyer, and probably Will Hutchinson knew that the midwives and the minister had conspired to save the Dyers additional pain (pp. 88-9).
This seemed to me so compassionate and moral. Hutchinson and the others weren't just concerned with protecting Dyer socially, but emotionally as well. There was nothing to be gained from their actions socially or - to their imaginations - with their deity, and in fact they took a great risk, motivated only, it appears, by the desire to spare others pain. Which is why I found the denouement so sickening:

[At the conclusion of her church trial, at which she was publicly excummunicated] Holding her head high, [Hutchinson] stood, turned, and walked swiftly to the meetinghouse door. Now she took the proffered hand of her friend Mary Dyer, whom she had aided after her difficult birth. A group of Anne’s supporters, shrunken by the many banishments, disenfranchisements, and voluntary exiles from the colony, clustered around the rude wooden door that led out to the late-winter light.

…[John] Winthrop was unaware, as he watched Mistresses Hutchinson and Dyer in the rear of the meetinghouse, of the events in October that had followed Dyer’s stillbirth. Within a week, however, word of the ‘monster’ that Dyer had borne – and that Hutchinson and Hawkins, with Cotton’s support, had secretly buried – would reach the governor, horrifying him. He had always admired the charming and attractive young Mary Dyer, but now she seemed ‘of a very proud spirit’, ‘much addicted to revelations’, and ‘notoriously infected with Mistress Hutchinson’s errors’. Of the Dyer baby, he would report in his journal:

It was so monstrous and misshapen as the like that scarce been heard of. It had no head but a face, which stood so low upon the breast, as the ears, which were like an ape’s, grew upon the shoulders.

The eyes stood far out, so did the mouth. The nose was hooking upward. The breast and back was full of sharp prickles, like a thornback [an ocean dweller with thornlike spines]. The navel and all the belly with the distinction of the sex were where lower part of the back and hips should have been, and those back parts were on the side the face stood.

The arms and hands, with the thighs and legs, were as other children’s, but instead of toes it had upon each foot three claws, with talons like a young fowl. Upon the back above the belly it had two great holes, like mouths, and in each of them stuck out a piece of flesh.

It had no forehead, but in the place thereof, above the eyes, four horns, whereof two were above an inch long, hard, and sharp.

The infant’s condition is consistent with a severe birth anomaly, anencephaly, the partial or total absence of the brain, according to modern medical experts. The horns, talons, and prickles are, however, embellishment.

‘Many things were observable in the birth and discovery of this monster’, the governor would note. The Dyers were ‘Familists, and very active in maintaining their party. The midwife, one Hawkin’s wife, of St. Ives, was notorious for familiarity with the Devil, and is now a prime Familist. This monster was concealed by three persons about five months’. Intimating a communal revulsion like that later associated with the witches of Salem Village, Winthrop reported that most women present at the birth ‘were suddenly taken with such a violent vomiting, as they were forced to go home, others had their children taken with convulsions, and so were sent home, so as none were left at the time of the birth but the midwife and two others, whereof one fell asleep. At such time as the child died, the bed where in the mother lay shook so violently as all in the room perceived it’.

Learning of the birth, Winthrop would order that Mistress Hawkins be questioned and the corpse exhumed. ‘The child was taken up’ from its grave, he reported, ‘and though it was much corrupted, yet the horns and claws and holes in the back and some scales were found and seen of above a hundred persons’ (pp. 205-6).
Monster, indeed.

This is a book from 'inside' another book.

The Red Book, also known as Liber Novus (Latin for New Book), is a 205-page manuscript written and illustrated by Swiss psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung between approximately 1914 and 1930, prepared for publication by The Philemon Foundation and published by W.W. Norton & Co. on October 7, 2009. Until 2001, his heirs denied scholars access to the book, which he began after a falling-out with Sigmund Freud in 1913. Jung originally titled the manuscript Liber Novus (literally meaning A New Book in Latin), but it was informally known and published as The Red Book. The book is written in calligraphictext and contains many illuminations. (fancy drawings). He made it look like a Bible from the 1600s. 

---

Jung was associated with Freud for a period of approximately five years, beginning in 1907. Their relationship became increasingly acrimonious. When the final break came in 1913, Jung retreated from many of his professional activities for a time to further develop his own theories. Biographers disagree as to whether this period represented a psychological breakdown. Anthony Storr, reflecting on Jung's own judgment that he was "menaced by a psychosis" during this time, concluded that the period represented a psychotic episode.
Jung referred to the episode as a kind of experiment, a voluntary confrontation with the unconscious.[4] Biographer Barbara Hannah, who was close to Jung later in his life, compared Jung's experiences to the encounter of Menelaus with Proteus in the Odyssey. Jung, she said, "made it a rule never to let a figure or figures that he encountered leave until they had told him why they had appeared to him."
About the Red Book, Jung said:

"The years… when I pursued the inner images, were the most important time of my life. Everything else is to be derived from this. It began at that time, and the later details hardly matter anymore. My entire life consisted in elaborating what had burst forth from the unconscious and flooded me like an enigmatic stream and threatened to break me. That was the stuff and material for more than only one life. Everything later was merely the outer classification, scientific elaboration, and the integration into life. But the numinous beginning, which contained everything, was then."

This picture is of Jeremy Britt, who was here playing Sherlock Holmes, who does play a violin in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's books. he was the best and the only Holmes ever.  

I am giving book reviews of two Sherlock Holmes mysteries. The first is of Study in Scarlet, but first I need to say that this is the book that finds Holmes and Dr. John Watson at their first acquaintance. Watson has just come to England, after being in the military in Afghanistan during a war. His shoulder was wounded by a bullet. All of this Holmes deduces upon their first meeting. They have met in order to share quarters together and split the rent. Holme's incredible art for deduction is unbelievable to Watson as to how he arrives at conclusions with what appear to be few clues. Holmes breaks this and a couple of other mysteries down for Watson step by step, and Watson does come to believe that Holmes is an unbelievably good detective. Holmes is not a police detective, but a type of detective consultant, who does not get paid for his work. He is also a scientist in some areas, sometimes a candidate for OCD medicine, a violinist, and a cocaine and morphine user, to boot. Okay, enough introduction. Here is my first book review.

A Study in Scarlet, by Arthur Conan Doyle--a Sherlock Holmes mystery

The premise of this story, in a nutshell, is that Sherlock Holmes receives a letter from someone telling him that a murder has taken place in an otherwise empty house. The victim's cause of death is not immediately known, as there are no wounds or blood seen on his body. There is a woman's wedding ring amongst the evidence and a message on the wall written by another unknown person, in his or her blood. The plot is very complex, and of course Holmes is just the person to solve such a crime. The Scotland Yard police detectives are portrayed as incapable of solving any crime by themselves without Holmes's help, and taking most or all of the credit. It is nearly impossible to guess at the conclusion to this case, and Sherlock Holmes really does has his work cut out for him.

This is madam Curie . She was a polish chick who was a super-scientist. Her story is well known.

She was the first (or one of) Lady super-scientists in Physics and Chemistry . When she made the discoveries she had to give her Husband the credit . Later she got the credit herself. 

Anyway ...I have many WOMAN-FIRST-TIMERS here at my site .You must scroll back to the posts about the first Programmer of all time and the first Sci-Fi. writer of all time. 

One thousand years ago this year, a Japanese court lady put the finishing touches on what would become the world’s oldest novel. Spanning 75 years, more than 350 characters and brimming with romantic poems, “The Tale of Genji” tells the story of an emperor’s son, his quest for love and the many women he meets along the way.

On April 18, Washington University will celebrate the novel’s 1,000th birthday with two afternoon events in the Women’s Building Formal Lounge — a roundtable discussion at 1 p.m. and the annual Stanley Spector Memorial Lecture at 4 p.m.

If the mark of a great novel is its ability to stand the “test of time” — to remain captivating to readers from generation to generation — then “The Tale of Genji” more than meets this criteria, said Rebecca Copeland, Ph.D., professor of Japanese language and literature and co-organizer of the Genji celebration.

Now a central pillar of the Japanese literary canon, the book has inspired writers and artists working in every conceivable genre and medium and has been translated into more than 30 languages.

“One thing that I find remarkable about this event is that the work that we are celebrating was written by a Japanese women,” Copeland said.

“Not only is the work the oldest novel in the world (if we stretch our concept of ‘novel’) but it was written by a woman from a society that most Westerners consider chauvinistic,” Copeland said.

The roundtable brings together noted Genji scholars to discuss how this important literary work has survived the centuries, thriving well beyond Japan’s borders through a variety of adaptations that encompass medieval reworkings, early modern parodies, modern translations and even contemporary comic books.

oldest complete book IN THE WORLD ! (maybe).
it happens to be a hymn book , but its still a book !
Sumerian Temple Hymn, baked clay, circa between 1800 and 1600 BC (Old Babylonian), currently located at the Walters Art Museum.

This tablet, inscribed on all four sides, is one of the best preserved copies of the Sumerian hymn to the temple at Kesh. The popular hymn, written in praise of the temple built for the mother-goddess Nintu in the city of Kesh in southern Mesopotamia, describes the temple in both physical and heavenly terms.

Delta of Venus is a book of short stories by Anaïs Nin. Though the stories were largely written in the 1940s while Nin was writing erotica for a private collector, the book was first published posthumously in 1978. In 1995 a film version of the book was directed by Zalman King. There are multiple short stories in this work with certain important characters reappearing throughout. She deals with many different sexual themes, some of them very taboo— including abuse, incest, homosexuality, prostitution, infidelity, and paedophilia— while maintaining the focus of her life's work: the study and description of woman.

Background

The collection of short stories that makes up this anthology was written during the 1940s for a private client known simply as "Collector"'. This "Collector" commissioned Nin, along with other now well-known writers (including Henry Miller), to produce erotic fiction for his private consumption. Despite being told to leave poetic language aside and concentrate on graphic, sexually explicit scenarios, Nin was able to give these stories a literary flourish and a layer of images and ideas beyond the pornographic. In the introduction, she called herself "the madam of this snobbish literary house of prostitution".

The stories range in length, and are tied together not just by their sexual premises, but also by Nin's distinct style and feminine viewpoint.

Here finally is "Bluebeard" as I should have called it before, and it is short but truly amazing.

Bluebeard

by Sylvia Plath

I am sending back the key

that let me into bluebeard's study;

because he would make love to me

I am sending back the key;

in his eye's darkroom I can see

my X-rayed heart, dissected body :

I am sending back the key

that let me into bluebeard's study.

Sylvia Plath killed herself by sticking her head in an oven and breathing the fumes until she was dead. 

I had just started reading Fear Agent by Rick Remender a couple of weeks ago, it’s an awesome sci-fi pulp comic. If you enjoy that type of stuff it’s worth a read, so with a little research and advice, I decided to pick up Strange Girl. I managed to get the complete series in a limited slipcase version for under 20 bucks and it even had the signed print.

The Cherry Orchard 

This play review is on another light-hearted, comedic, and nostalgic tale by a brilliant playwright. There are four main characters in the play, all family members. The mother is Lyubov, who is extrememely empathetic, gives her money and belongings away to those in need, and cherishes her childhood home. Her brother, Gaev, also loves their home, is humorous, and impulsive. The two arrive at the home they had left long ago with Lyubov's two daughters, Varya and Anya, the other two characters who seem to be central in the play. There is a beautiful orchard on their property. 

The main thrust of the play is that the family has lost or spent so much money that the house and property are in arrears, and may soon be sold soon to someone else if the family cannot come up with enough money to keep it.

The characters in the play are all beautifully drawn, and the plot keeps you on your seat a bit. The family's love for their home and orchard is touching. I think if I were to meet these characters in real life they would be interesting to know; good-hearted, likable, and a bit eccentric, as well.

As I have said, Anton Chekov was an amazing, Russian playwright and short story teller, and he is usually considered a master in his own right. My book of great Russian plays actually contained six plays, and not four, as I had probably indicated when I made my post about Turgenev's play entitled A Month in the Country. If you have a chance, try the book with the four plays, including The Cherry Orchard, A Month in the Country, The Inspector General by Gogol, and The Lower Depths by Gorky. I can't believe the two plays not in this book included one by Tolstoy and Andreyev, as they are unbelievable writers, themselves. How can one even talk about Russian literature without mentioning Tolstoy? Well, in the introduction in my book it says Americans walk out of plays that are dark, which probably explains why. Tolstoy's play is called The Power of Darkness, and Andreyev's is entitled He Who Gets Slapped. They are both deep, psychological, and at least somewhat dark, which is a hallmark for a lot of Russian writing. I did not like Gogol's satirical play as much, although it was entertaining, and The Lower depths is only a little dark at one point, but it is only my opinion. The book on google is well-worth reading, and I think is called Four Great Russian Plays.

This is a book review of a book I read by Cuban/French writer Anais Nin, and the book is entitled Collages. It is about a book of brief vignettes about colorful eccentrics the main character, Renate, has known. Nin paints pictures with words like an artist, which is Renate's profession, with unique and amazing imagery that is completely one-of-a-kind.

You do not know that the title, Collages, refers to another character until at least half-way into the book. The character, Varda, is an artist, as well, who only makes Collages made from different pieces of exquisite cloth. His own daughter prefers science to his artwork, and does not like or accept his work because it reminds her of all the beautiful women he has known.

There are tons of portraits of peculiar and wonderful creative people in different areas of the arts who are featured in Collages on Nin's, and likewise Renate's canvas in this book. They are all visually stunning images and Nin's style is like no other I have ever read. My copy of this book is only 122 pages. It is an amazing story that does not appear to have a tie with the beginning of the book, which is during Renate's childhood, until the end of the book. Then the story suddenly has a direct correlation to it and a pattern that you will not understand until practically the last page. This book is unique, and definitely worth reading.

all right , the above is difficult to explain so Ill let someone else do it
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Seven_Daughters_of_Eve

That book is meant for lay-people like me. A more scientific is here.
http://www.ornl.gov/sci/techresources/Human_Genome/elsi/humanmigration.shtml

Its the story of how a special kind of DNA tells us how and when humans migrated out
of Africa . It has been known now for a long time that ALL humans can be traced back to
Africa. ...that every human is related to every other human if you go back far enough.
They have PROOF of this now . Brittney Spears and Mike Tyson have the same
 grand parents...in Africa.

Brain Sykes (above) writes a lot about the 7 major groups in Europe .
 It might be 9 or 10 by now.

Because of these new tests ...scientist now say that KING TUT ...was a white guy.
google ' King Tut MtDNA ' , if you like .

Saturn Storm - Late last year, a new, remarkably bright storm erupted in Saturn’s northern hemisphere. Amateur astronomers first spotted it in early December, with the ringed gas giant rising in planet Earth’s predawn sky. Orbiting Saturn, the Cassini spacecraft was able to record this close-up of the complex disturbance from a distance of 1.8 million kilometers on December 24th. Over time, the storm has evolved, spreading substantially in longitude, and now stretches far around the planet. Saturn’s thin rings are also seen slicing across this space-based view, casting broad shadows on the planet’s southern hemisphere

An international team, led by EXOEarths researchers (Centro de Astrofísica da Universidade do Porto, CAUP), proposes that metals like magnesium might have an important role in the formation of low mass planets.

The team, lead by CAUP researcher Vardan Zh. Adibekyan, analyzed high resolution spectra of 1,111 Sun-like stars, obtained by the HARPS spectrograph (ESO). Of these stars, 109 are known to harbor high mass (Jupiter-like) planets, and 26 have Neptune-like planetary companions.

The team focused especially on studying the abundance of alphaelements in these stars, like magnesium (Mg), silicon (Si) or titanium (Ti). The research found that the ratio of these, compared with the amount of iron (Fe), was consistently higher in stars with planets, with the greatest discrepancy observed for Mg.

The lead author of the paper, CAUP Astronomer Vardan Zh. Adibekyan, commented, “These findings indicate that some metals other than iron are involved in the process of planet formation, especially when the amount of iron is lower than solar. These results may provide strong constraints for the models of planet formation, especially for planets with low mass.”

The leading theories of planet formation suggest that planets form by clumping smaller particles of heavy elements (metals), into larger and larger bodies. The results put forward by the present study suggest that planets need a minimum amount of “metals” to be formed. The formation of planets, even the lowest mass ones, is dependent on the dust content of the cloud that gave origin to the star and planetary system.

I just finished reading the book 'Tis, the book following Angela's Ashes by Pulitizer prize-winning author Frank Mc Court. Another wonderful, biographical tale of how the teenage author leaves Ireland at the ripe age of 19, from a poverty-stricken life to finding hope for himself in the United States in 1949.
During his boat ride over, he meets a priest who tries to impart information on how to become rich by meeting the right people with connections, in his mind "rich Protestants". His first living quarters is a hotel room he shares with the priest, who does something (while being drunk) which is very unbecoming a man in his religious position, etc. This later causes the priest to seek out a cheap apartment for Frank, as well as his first job, albeit a menial and unlikable one. So right away Frank is being rescued by someone, for he has very little money on coming to this country.
Frank's life begins here with several different jobs and living arrangements, but at some point he enters the army, at one point in Germany and staring a Holocaust oven in the face (that war is over), and has to touch it because he feels he will want to say this one day. He meets a variety of colorful people with strange and wonderful personalities, including a landlady who is always drunk and lives in the apartment building with her son Michael "what's left of him". Several friends tell him that he should want to get a college education, which he does, without even graduating from high school, on a trial basis. He has different adventures with women at various times, and at college meets a girl with the nickname Mike, who he falls head over heels for and eventually marries. His teaching experiences, as well as many other, are just hilarious, and teaches in different high schools, including a vocational school, an elite prep school during the turbulent 1960's and all of the assassinations taking place. His mother comes to New York, and grows older there, one other brother does, as well, and becomes famous. Throughout the beginning of the book he struggles with money, but later comes more into his own. Anyway, there is a third book, which I really want to get my hands on, Teacherman, and finish off the series. This book is well worth reading, and I, as with Angela's Ashes, laughed out loud many times, and highly recommend to anyone.

humiliation porn, and the young ladies who love it

  BRNAD NEW SITE HERE: http://tinylotushumiliation.tumblr.com/

Function of this blog

the function of this blog is 2 fold.  One is that I can post nerdy geeky stuff that doesnt fit into a porn board and 2) it will be an information center for all the boards that will be devoted to porn or non-porn that is really unsafe for work . This is because there is very little chance of this blog being deleted

Lord Byron

Lord Byron was a poet. But he was famous for many other reasons . He is quoted as saying " I awoke one mourning to find myself famous". This quote is where we get our modern saying of "Overnight success" .

He wrote a great deal of famous stuff. Every thing he wrote became famous. (Like the Beatles of today)

More then his work...I will be talking about his friends and his daughters.

One of his close friends was a young lady named Mary and her famous writer Husband Percey. The 18 year old Mary would go on to become the first Science fiction writer of all time  (see post below)

Lord Byron married a mathematician . She was sometimes called "The Princess of Parallelograms" . He was a sensitive-Poet-type and she was a hard scientist;  at a time when it was thought that a Woman could not be such a thing. These two had a daughter that would grow up to be a mathematician herself. Her name was Ada.
This Ada would also become the first computer programmer of all time. (see post below)

The first Programmer of all time

The first Computer programmer in the world was a 27 year old woman named Ada. She was the daughter of a Mathematician and a great poet , she married a mathematician .

She may also have been a writer, Ill have to look that up. She was fiends with Charles Dickens . 


She was the only legitimate child of the poet Lord Byron (with Anne Isabella Milbanke, 11th Baroness Wentworth). She had no relationship with her father, who died when she was nine. As a young adult, she took an interest in mathematics, and in particular Babbage's work on the analytical engine. Between 1842 and 1843, she translated an article by Italian mathematician Luigi Menabrea on the engine, which she supplemented with a set of notesof her own. These notes contain what is considered the first computer program — that is, an algorithm encoded for processing by a machine. Though Babbage's engine has never been built, Lovelace's notes are important in the early history of computers. She also foresaw the capability of computers to go beyond mere calculating or number-crunching while others, including Babbage himself, focused only on these capabilities

The first Science fiction writer of all time

 Ladies and gentleman , I give you the first Science fiction writer of ALL TIME. 


      She was an 18 year old girl when she starting writing Frankenstein--the first genuine example of Sci-fi . She came up with the idea for the novel at a small party that she attended with her writer husband Percey and their good friend Lord Byron . She and Percey and Byron would all remain friends until their deaths. 

The inventor of Sci-FI was an 18 year old girl, 


Mary Shelley's personal life was quite tragic and many modern critics, especially feminist ones, discussFrankenstein in terms of the recurring themes of procreation and death. This paper will examine these issues more fully by applying Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development to Shelley's life. Most particularly we will examine how Shelley's lack of maternal and paternal care led her to conceive of her Creature. The audience will be encouraged to look beyond the exterior of the Creature and decide exactly who is the monster in this classic novel. Understanding identity issues is also critical to understanding Mary's life and fiction. Her husband's untimely death had adverse effects on Mary's identity and she tried, with varying amounts of success, to establish her own career beyond merely being Percy's literary executor. Indeed many people in her own time were convinced that Percy B. Shelly had actually written Frankenstein.

The Lotus Eaters

THE LOTUS EATERS , (short story)

 Hamilton "Ham" Hammond and Patricia Burlingame are married, and thanks to Burlingame's connections, the two have been commissioned by the Royal Society and the Smithsonian Institutionto explore the night side of Venus. There they find a species of warm-blooded mobile plants with a communal intelligence that Burlingame nicknames Oscar. Oscar is very intelligent, quickly picking up English from Hammond and Burlingame.

The humans learn that the Oscar beings reproduce by releasing clear bubbles full of gaseous spores. When the bubbles burst, the spores come to rest on another Oscar being, eventually grow into another individual, and bud off. In “Parasite Planet”, the vicious, night-dwelling Triops noctivivans used these bubbles to attack Hammond and Burlingame, since the spores have a soporific effect on humans.

The humans are horrified to learn that, being plants, the Oscar beings have no survival instinct. Despite their greater-than-human intelligence, the Oscar beings react with indifference when the local trioptes attack and consume them. This prompts Burlingame to name their species Lotophagi veneris – the lotus eaters of Venus. Hammond and Burlingame barely escape the trioptes themselves after exposure to the spores leaves them almost catatonic.
