			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Want to know the fastest way to master the skill of guitar string muting? This article will discuss this important technique.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">String muting is a relevant method that may assist you in defining your own individual style. It consists of 2 basic types of string muting, the palm mute with your plectrum hand and the string mute with your fret hand. These two types serve absolutely distinct purposes, but both are essential to skillful guitar playing.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Fret-hand muting especially comes into play,while playing chords and power chords. You should use part of you finger tips and fingers to mute the strings you do not need to include in the chord being played. For instance the C major chord is played from the fifth string to the first, your are not supposed to hit the sixth string. I recommend you use the tip of your third finger that&#8217;s holding downward the fifth string third fret to rub up against the sixth string thereby muting the string. You should use this method with power chords. You should also use the chubby part of your forefinger to gently lay across strings 1,2,3. with precisely sufficient force to mute the strings. The wonderful thing is if you get a little bit carried away with your plectrum, it&#8217;ll still sound good. Fret-hand muting is used extensively.</p>
<p><span id="more-64"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Palm muting is more generally applied in distorted rock songs. The method requires resting the heel of your pick-hand palm on the strings as you pluck. Nearly all guitar players rest it straight over the bridge, but you&#8217;ll be able to try out various positionings for diverse sounds. You should attempt several degrees of pressure to determine the level of muting. This method produces a percussive, toned down or chunky sound. Merge fast downwardly strokes with palm muting in varied patterns with mild distortion for sounds alike to Metallica. Kirk Hammett uses string muting to great effect on &#8216;Nothing Else Matters&#8217; and &#8216;The Day That Never Comes&#8217;.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The techniques of both fret hand muting and palm muting are very personal and rhetorical. By applying and integrating this method on a daily basis, you will get the hang of this essential skill in the shortest time.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You now have a better understanding of what string muting is. You know there are 2 types. Apply this newfound knowledge in your guitar playing. You also need to watch how the professionals do it. Copy them but create your own unique guitar sound.Go on, champ!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you want to learn more, there are great eBooks that&#8217;ll make you practically an expert, and it is up for grabs FREE at http://www.playawesomeguitar.com/free-guitar-e-books-downloads.html</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">A large number of people just read about the top nightclubs in the papers or in the celebrity magazines and assume they would never be able to get into such parties. However, it&#8217;s not quite as hard to get into these clubs as they will have you believe. I party every week at the top clubs and always get in with no problems! Follow these pointers and you will be able to get into the exclusive celebrity functions!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Firstly, and most obviously, you need to get your name on the actual guest list. The old myth used to be you had to &#8220;know someone who knows someone&#8221; to get you on the guest list, but these days with the power of the internet it is much easier. There are many websites where you can browse clubs and submit your names on the guest list. Just make sure you use a reputable site that deals directly with guest list for clubs. Don&#8217;t bother with the clubs actual own website as the guest lists are run by the promoter and not the club itself. Therefore, contacting the club directly can often result in the dreaded &#8220;sorry your names not down, your not coming in&#8221;. Trust me, I know from personal experience!</p>
<p><span id="more-61"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So now your names are on the list but this still doesn&#8217;t mean you are definitely getting into the club. There are a few key things to do to ensure your entry and a party to remember.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">1) Arrive Early</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The busier a club gets the less people they can let in. It doesn&#8217;t take a rocket scientist to work that out. Arriving early will help you out a great deal with getting into a club and also means you don&#8217;t have to stand in a queue for too long.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">2) Make sure you adhere to the dress code</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">All A-list clubs will be very strict on letting in only the people that have made an effort with their dress. If you turn up in trainers and a t-shirt, your chances of getting in will be zero. Dress to impress!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">3) Bring I.D</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">All London clubs are now required by law to check each customers I.D on arrival. If you have nothing to hide then bring your I.D to ensure you get in. Otherwise, its simple. &#8220;No I.D? No entry!&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">4) Don&#8217;t get drunk beforehand!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It might sound good to have a few pre-drinks before you hit the club but nightclub owners are very strict on this as it means you will drink less in their club and maybe even create more trouble for security. Save the drinking till your inside the club.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">5) Don&#8217;t turn up in large all male groups</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This is frowned upon by security at clubs as they feel large all-male groups can sometimes cause an intimidating atmosphere. If you do have a large group of males that want to go out either persuade some females to come along or book a table area in advance.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So there you have it, if you followed all these tips you should now be in the club ready for a night to remember! Just make sure you have plenty of money as these clubs can cost a bit more then your local. And if you don&#8217;t have the money? Well then you are in the wrong place!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I party in London every week at the best clubs and always get in with no problems. If you want a good site to browse clubs and actually put your names on the guest list then you wont go too wrong with http://www.loveguestlist.com.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">The pace of life was progressing towards unknown destination. Margret&#8217;s ignorance was predominant and shadowed her line of thinking. Although her appearance painted a wrong picture as enterprising, yet she dwells in her own confusion. On her 27th birth day, she realised that Malcolm was slowly drifting away from her. It was her apparent view and her perception was vague. She has a lot of spare time to spend with friends. She frequently visited shopping malls. She did lot of fiction reading and got carried away by flimsy character and events. Her myopic approach and misunderstanding the situations, was in general, lead to unpleasantness among them.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">On the contrary, Malcolm was an efficient doctor and a very popular among all hospital staff. Patient loved him. He ensured that they feel at home in the hospital. His convivial talk and smiling face put the entire patients at ease and in a comfortable position. However, his domestic life was much short of his expectation. They have a divergent frequency and different level of thinking. Hence it was difficult to reconcile even trivial issues.</p>
<p><span id="more-58"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As a married couple their life was interesting, intriguing and melancholy. Many years passed by and they were blessed with four children, two girls and two boys. They were grown adults and got married barring one child who remained a bachelor. The passage of their life did not transform into something extravaganza, yet smooth with minor hiccups. Malcolm could not enjoy her company on the social or literate level. The gap between their understandings widens considerable and beyond any possible patch. His casual drinking habit became regular eventually made him alcoholic.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">His closest childhood friend meeting him regularly, and it was a great source of consolation for him. They discussed life in general and analysed objectively too. Malcolm&#8217;s conclusion was firm and realistic about women, in particular about his wife. Her reaction to his advances pitter-pattered on flimsy grounds, making his passion melted down. At times, it was a shower of love, affection and forceful hug and kisses. Instantaneously, his thoughts zoomed into her mind reasoning this must be her awakening. Alas, these moments were always short lived and unpredictable. He remembered Guy De Maupassant: &#8220;Women are really very strange, complicated and inexplicable being.&#8221; He also knew that the contrary is also true, that women are like a flower, delicate full of fragrance and attraction. They also possess dormant intelligence, which reflects the brilliance when explored. However, they&#8217;re susceptible and gullible too.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Malcolm thought that her association as a wife is important for a family. He did not want the stigma, &#8220;Broken family&#8221; attached to his family. He wanted a healthy relationship among his family members. He wanted the grand children to carry an image of love and happiness. He decided to give up drinking and reconciled to the fact that life must be lived in its fullness.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">He decided to go on vocation with Margret. She felt very happy and excited about it. They went on a lonely trip to Asia. There was a sudden change of heart and mind for Margret. She said to Malcolm that she was guilty of being very immature on many occasions. Malcolm gently kissed her and said,&#8221; I love you immensely and feel proud that you gave birth to four lovely children&#8221;. He praised for her loving nature and kind heartedness. He also said that he is proud of her being his wife. The trip was concluded on a happy note. They returned home totally changed person. The environment in their home was very happy and full of love and affection.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;How are you doing, yourself, Evens?&#8221; He asked me.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;Done this, seen that, other than that, I&#8217;m just tired, Father Marcelo,&#8221; I tell him.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;You&#8217;ve seen a lot, just here in Peru.&#8221;</p>
<p><span id="more-53"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;Well,&#8221; I say, &#8220;we all need a lot of luck, if not prayers in this here neighborhood of ours.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;We got robbed two years ago,&#8221; Rosa said.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;I&#8217;m kind of glad they got away, I pert near shot them-like a bird on a leaf-given another ten-seconds, had they not jumped into their car and made their getaway in time.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;I wouldn&#8217;t mind learning how to shoot a pistol,&#8221; the priest says.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;It&#8217;s easy to learn,&#8221; I said.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;Sure,&#8221; Rosa says, &#8220;it doesn&#8217;t take long to learn. You come with us next time we go shooting, Father Marcelo. You don&#8217;t have to shoot anyone, just show them you got a gun, and that&#8217;s that.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;All right,&#8221; Father Marcelo says. &#8220;Sure. I got time to learn.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;Here, look at the gun&#8221; (I empty the cartridges out of the 38 Special and hand it to the priest, its heavy).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The four of us, Rosa, I, the priest, and Carmen, who works at the church are sitting at the table at our home, just finished lunch. Carmen feels the weight of the gun. Looks at its gleaming blue sleekness, we are all drinking coffee.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;You stay in your house too much!&#8221; the priest says to Carmen.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;Yes, I know, that&#8217;s it,&#8221; says Carmen.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;Carmen,&#8221; Rosa takes the gun from her, hands it back to me. &#8220;There are so many robbers around here, and we Peruvians don&#8217;t help one another.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;They&#8217;re always talking about this and that person, who got robbed, and the police don&#8217;t care one-way or the other, they&#8217;re in on it, no workable infrastructure here in Peru.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;What does he mean, Rosa?&#8221; says the priest.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;Robbers,&#8221; Rosa goes on, &#8220;we saw some the other day, several in the street were going to beat up the bicycle man, who helped a woman they robbed, broke their motor vehicle window with a rock, they wanted revenge, and my husband shot two bullets a foot over their heads and they ran off.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;The robbers don&#8217;t like to be robbed, or have to spend their loot on fixing a window&#8230;&#8221; I mentioned to everyone there.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;These robbers and their gangs, they are all around,&#8221; says Carmen.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;Your husband can&#8217;t fight them alone, they&#8217;ll come down to your place if he tries,&#8221; says the priest, &#8220;he&#8217;s courageous.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">That was the Father Marcelo; he could say what he felt most of the times; it was nice to hear that, that he didn&#8217;t like it much. He was like me and tried to get along with everyone, but after a while, the robbers commenced to get on his nerves. They had all agreed it would be an awful thing should they start invading the neighborhood, it would sour quickly, not many had stamina enough to stand up to them in the long run. And although the conversation started out somewhat in a kidding mode, it was serious. It wasn&#8217;t very funny, and the priest told of the time he was robbed of eight-hundred soles ($300, apex.), by terrorists, and again the police doing little to nothing about it. It wasn&#8217;t funny either and it wasn&#8217;t very good, and it began to get to us all at the dinner table, although it was the sort of stuff that needed to come out, weights on the chest.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;The robbers don&#8217;t want to work, so it pays in Peru to rob, because the police get paid to look the other way; they ask which way do you want us to look, to the robber,&#8221; I tell the group chidingly.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">That&#8217;s about it, they all agree.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;Well,&#8221; says the priest &#8220;I better get going, back to the church. I enjoyed the beef ribs.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;Were they better than the pork roast we had last time?&#8221; I ask the priest.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;Yes?&#8221; says Father Marcelo, &#8220;the pork has a lot more fat on it.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The grandfather clock had just struck three o&#8217;clock, &#8220;Well, a fine dinner Rosa,&#8221; the priest said, standing up ready to leave.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;So long, Rosa,&#8221; he says, and Carmen, says &#8220;Thank you very much for the lunch. See you later.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;See you soon,&#8221; says Rosa.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It always takes twenty-minutes to say goodbyes in Peru, I tell myself, smiling at everyone: it was a good afternoon, a fine dinner with good friends, coffee and a worthy conversation. It&#8217;s what life is all about.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Nine-thirty p.m., I look out my bedroom window, put Rosa in bed, tell her good night, and about to go down stairs and do some reading, I see a few people over across the park, bringing out some household items, putting them into the car. I know they have parties over there a lot. Angel sees it also, and comes down from his one-room apartment to investigate; he&#8217;s a security person, hired for day security in the neighborhood. I tell myself, &#8216;I don&#8217;t think so,&#8217; that they are robbers. And there is Angel checking it out (and these folks, they don&#8217;t pay security anyhow, like so many in the neighborhood, they want to piggyback it, get it free because they are in-between those who do pay).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The following afternoon, standing outside of the house, looking for the ice-cream man, Angel approaches: &#8220;What&#8217;s on your mind?&#8221; I ask Angel.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;Just that they robbed the house over there last night,&#8221; and he points to where I saw the three young bandits.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;Really,&#8221; I said. I was really tired of hearing about such things and no one doing a damn thing about it; it really was stale news, but curiosity got to me of course. It was hard to sleep also at night, worried in the morning, if you&#8217;d have what you had before you went to sleep. &#8220;The owner had two dogs, he&#8217;s been away two days now; the robbers locked the dogs in a room, gave them steak.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;They come here, I&#8217;ll shoot them.&#8221; I said, but I knew they&#8217;d come when I and Rosa were not at home, so how can I shoot them, it was anger talking. &#8220;Well,&#8221; I continued to say, &#8220;everybody&#8217;s going to get it sooner or later around here a few time over until we wake up and become vigilantes,&#8221; knowing we already got it once and someone tried it a second time, and I&#8217;m waiting for the third. But I knew our robbery at our house wasn&#8217;t as bad as many, I pert near showed up in the onset, where some of the robbers clean out the whole house. I didn&#8217;t ask about if they notified the police, it was very well known-you&#8217;re on your own.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Body painting is a common form of application of colours, drawing, and painting of pictures on human body. It is an art in which, the human body is used as a medium for paint. There are different reasons for body painting, and a type of body painting is face painting. Face painting is the artistic application of colours, drawings, and paints on face. Face painters and artist use paints to decorate their faces, to show their feelings, or desires through painting on their faces. This is done using the water based cosmetic paints, and it has become a very common activity for different parties, celebrations, and events.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For many centuries, people have used face painting for different purposes including military, religious, and hunting. The activity and art became popular when in 1960s many women started painting flags, or symbols on their cheeks for promoting peace during different anti-war protests. We can say that the use of make up on face for decorating and adding colour is also closely related to this art.</p>
<p><span id="more-54"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Face print is also used in different profession. For example at a circus, it is a very important part of the costume. The clowns and actors paint their faces smiley, or like different characters to entertain. The activity of using face-painting for entertainment is very common in Europe, and it can be seen at different fairs, and open-air markets for attracting children, and adolescents.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Face picture is taken as a part of an outfit when it comes to parties, and celebrations. It is a very common activity at a festival or a children party where the children get their faces painted like their favourite characters. The art makes them feel like a real cat, fairy, prate, clown, dog, or any other character that they want to be.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Popular face-painting ideas, and designs among the youngsters that they use for birthday parties, Halloween, or themed parties are tiger, clown, super hero like spider-man, Dalmatian dog, cat, fairy pirate, etc. There are different types of face picture designs, and ideas, and all depends on their use. The main purpose is however to attract, and get attention of the people.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It is used as a cosmetic for dramas, acts, plays, etc especially if someone is wearing an animal costume. The painting on the face makes the person look like the actual animal, and makes him/her feel like a real animal character. Sometimes a part of the face is painted, and sometimes the complete face, neck, and other parts of the body are painted.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The use of face work of art can be seen in different sports events when people paint the flags of their favourite countries, or symbols showing the team they are supporting. Painting a country flag shows the patriotism of the person while sometimes it shows the loyalty, and support of the person towards a specific team. Soldiers also use face painting, camouflage technique is a common example. Other professions that use face picture are wrestling and circus where they draw different symbols to convey different messages.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You can buy a wide range of face painting kits and other Face Paint supplies online.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">City Libraries can be hauntingly beautiful with a palpable air of stoicism; yet slippery and altogether unforgiving mistresses &#8211; especially during the bleaker months. The principal appeal of working in one, Dreyfus thought to himself, would be the benefit of any prospective boss being constrained by his/her surroundings and unable to chastise him as vocally as they might like; something to which Dreyfus had grown accustomed throughout his not so glittering career working at call-centers and ostrich-burger vans; those ostriches could be so hard-nosed at times.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Running a hand through his waxen brown hair before accidentally tucking his shirt into his pants, Dreyfus looked into the mirror and liked what he saw. He grinned, terrifyingly, and adjusted his brown clip-on tie; the appropriate accoutrement to the unconvincing veneer of &#8216;prospective employee&#8217;, a look which could be tweaked to suit weddings/funerals, 1920-60 fancy-dress costume and &#8216;appropriately smart attire&#8217; for any imminent court appearances &#8211; it was surprising how often they seemed to pop-up Dreyfus thought to himself, his quizzical expression reflecting back at him. To a distant observer unfamiliar with the concept of reflective surfaces, it would appear as if two uncannily similar individuals were staring gormlessly at each other in an absurdist stand-off &#8211; imagine that if you will.</p>
<p><span id="more-50"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Whilst this story may be concerned with such trite observation, the author would like to apologize for a most unwelcome and distracting tangent on its behalf and, furthermore, wishes to reassure the reader that a minimum of 71 words will be deducted from the end as reparation.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Having scaled the large staircase up to the pillared library entrance, our hero takes a deep breath to compose himself before pushing a thick brass bar to enter the building. It refuses to open and the force causes him to jolt forward sharply, smacking his forehead directly on the &#8216;pull&#8217; sticker affixed to the glass pane in front of him. &#8216;A minor setback&#8217;, he reasons, (and a throwaway joke in the buildup to, &#8216;The Plan&#8217;, which immediately follows the next full stop, I think to myself).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Plan:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Dreyfus checked his clip-on tie was still clipped-on and tried to block out the pain radiating from his head and the almost comfortingly familiar nausea that accompanied it, before squeaking his way across the marble hall; oblivious to the silent disgust of a small collective of bespectacled types.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;Hello, how can I help you?&#8221; The ludicrously young-looking librarian asked. &#8220;Hi there, I was checking the library&#8217;s website the other day and saw you had a trainee job advertised?&#8221; Dreyfus inquired, at a suitably library-friendly volume and with only minimal spit fall-out. The librarian wiped his face before answering in a friendly and confident manner: &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry but that job had been up quite some time and the position has been filled&#8221;.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Dreyfus already thought this might have been the case, but didn&#8217;t let on. Leaning forward to catch a subtle glimpse of the man&#8217;s name-tag which read:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8216;Joe Marsden &#8211; Trainee librarian&#8217;, he asked: &#8220;Sorry could you repeat that I&#8217;m a bit hard of hearing&#8221;, gesturing to his right ear as he spoke.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;Of course sir, I said I&#8217;m afraid the position has been taken and there are no other jobs at the moment&#8221;. He spoke loudly and clearly, catching the attention of the bespectacled collective and a tall gaunt man with steel-framed glasses who was clearly a seasoned librarian from the way he had perfected gliding instead of walking; weaving between rows of books in stealth-mode, only assuming a visible form when dealing with unacceptable noise levels or confiscating food and drink.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Dreyfus winced and said, &#8220;Sorry I&#8217;m afraid I didn&#8217;t catch that&#8221;. Brushing back his tussled hair behind his right ear to reveal an old-fashioned clunky hearing aid, he continued: &#8220;It&#8217;s this awful thing, sorry, I&#8217;m only just getting used to it&#8221;.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;No problem at all sir, but I can&#8217;t speak too loud in here, I&#8217;ll get in trouble!&#8221; Young Joe was obviously fairly new and trying to avoid alerting his senior.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;What?&#8221; Dreyfus asked.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;I said, I CAN&#8217;T SPEAK TOO LOUD, this is a library sir!&#8221; He was quickly becoming frustrated and was inexperienced; Dreyfus was no super sleuth but the clue was in the job title. He thought he felt a breeze as the tall gaunt man silently glided over to reception &#8211; now &#8216;The Plan&#8217; was entering its critical phase.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;What&#8217;s all the commotion about Joe? People are trying to work, have a bit of consideration please,&#8221; the man had a calm voice but it was tinged with sinister undertones; like a serial killer reading a bedtime story.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;I&#8217;m sorry sir&#8221;, Joe replied meekly, the confidence draining from his voice. &#8220;This should be becoming second-nature to you Joe, people come here for peace and quiet and we need to maintain an appropriate working environment&#8221;, he continued. He turned his attention to Dreyfus and asked, &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry sir, is there anything I can help you with?&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Dreyfus began: &#8220;Actually there is. I came here to apply for a job and young Joe here started acting strange and said that you don&#8217;t like to employ people like me,&#8221; flicking his hair back once more to reveal the supersized hearing aid.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;I beg you&#8217;re pardon, is this true Joe?&#8221; The senior asked, flabbergasted. Joe looked flustered with rage then snapped, &#8220;That is an absolute lie, he asked about a job and I told him that the position had been filled&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;Shhhhh&#8221;, the senior cut him off, shaking his head, &#8220;Keep the volume down Joe, this is a library, have some decorum for God&#8217;s sake.&#8221; Dreyfus decided it was time to press his advantage home, young Joe was caving like a weak dealer in a Vegas casino and Dreyfus was playing for a prize greater than money &#8211; well actually no, equal to money.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;So now you&#8217;re calling me a liar are you?&#8221; He said. &#8220;And more to the point&#8221;, he pointed at the trainee and continued, &#8220;He told me that if I couldn&#8217;t speak quietly, then I shouldn&#8217;t even be in a library&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Joe was purple with rage and was now almost shouting: &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry but that is a barefaced lie and I would never deliberately insult people like you..&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The bespectacled collective had been getting progressively more agitated as the argument intensified and it was all too much for a couple of the more sickly members who promptly fainted and had to be revived shortly after this story ended.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;People like me? I&#8217;ve never been so insulted in all my life&#8221; Dreyfus fumed, as he simultaneously managed to force a tear.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;I&#8217;m so sorry sir&#8221;, the senior started again. &#8220;Joe, I think you better go and wait in the office, we need to have a serious talk about this&#8221;. Young Joe stormed off, knocking a stack of papers off his desk as he left.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;All I wanted was a chance to prove myself,&#8221; Dreyfus explained. &#8220;I&#8217;m not after sympathy but it can just be so difficult for people with disabilities sometimes, you understand?&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;Oh, I do think you&#8217;re very brave and unreservedly apologize for any offense caused, I don&#8217;t know what got into him, he is very new&#8221;. He paused for a moment and looked down at the papers strewn across the floor. &#8220;I tell you what actually, what&#8217;s your name?&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;It&#8217;s Dreyfus&#8221;, he sniveled, blowing his nose, quietly.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The senior stepped forward and placed his hand on Dreyfus&#8217; shoulder as he spoke:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;Well Dreyfus, if you leave your curriculum vitae with us, I&#8217;ll see what I can do. I can&#8217;t promise anything, but I&#8217;ve got a feeling that young Joe might not be around here for too much longer, I can&#8217;t abide that sort of behavior, not in my library.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">(A Chick Evens story out of Minnesota, based on fact, 1956)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Icy-Mississippi</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Snow is on the sidewalks, in the streets, a thin layer covering the Mississippi River, on top of four-inches of ice -the houses and buildings are all lit, fires glowing in hearths, furnaces burning, as I rush out into the cold early Saturday morning air to sell newspapers &#8220;Five Cents!&#8221; It is December, 1956 and I&#8217;m ten-years old, just turned ten-years old in October.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I see people sitting in their houses: men, women and children-as if their minds are unoccupied, its 6:00 a.m., some of the houses are covered with blotches of snow; some even appear to smile at me-with their shadowy silhouettes.</p>
<p><span id="more-47"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Some of the houses are completely dark, solid gray dark; I suppose the people haven&#8217;t crawled out of bed yet. In other houses I hear laughter as I walk down Jackson Street to the St. Paul, Pioneer Press Newspaper, to get my stack of papers to sell on the corner of Forth and Robert Streets. I even can see the icy-Mississippi from where I sand.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In the quiet morning cold, the houses seem to whisper to me-as if they have secrets to tell-but I&#8217;m too young to stop and listen, I&#8217;m not yet a hunter of tales. Plus, they can only tell me things I&#8217;m too young to fully understand.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I pass a dozen houses, two, then three dozen, now buildings, doors are now bursting open.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I start to yell &#8220;St. Paul Pioneer Press!&#8230;FIVE CENTS!&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Slow moving, and slow speaking people walk by. I think my business is the most interesting in town-but of course at ten-years old, who wouldn&#8217;t think so. There even seems to be a touch of romanticism in this paper business.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">A uniquely American collectable is the Elvis bobble head. Not only of Elvis, but of any character is only made and sold in America. The bobble head, nodder or wobblers is referring to a special doll what has an oversized head attached to a body with a spring.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There have been so many different characters that have been naming them all would be futile. The most common are famous sports figures, and especially baseball heroes. Most Baseball stadiums have a day at their ball park. Once a year the most famous either current or past player is immortalized with a free giveaway.</p>
<p><span id="more-44"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This all started back in 1842 with a short story written by Nikolai Gogol. This is where the original description was produced. The first were made out of paper mache. This was consistent until the 1970&#8217;s when ceramic was the preferred material by the manufacturers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Collectors went crazy for the Elvis along with the Beatles. This was a strange craze that America went thru the 1970&#8217;s but then it almost came to a standstill. During this very popular time the material was once again changed from ceramic to plastic.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Baseball really got into the swing in 1999, with the free give away of 35,000 Willie Mays bobble head dolls. From that point on the bobble head became a main stay in the American culture.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Today one of the best selling is an Elvis. This one is of Elvis from the 1968 comeback tour and can still be purchased for under $20.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There is no better (or more fun) gift for true Elvis fans than the Elvis Bobblehead. Head on over to http://www.historyofelvis.com and get yours today!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">A mouse in a house, well that is poetic for sure, but this little mouse was far from poetic, he was a little brown fur covered ball of mischief. His small black eyes were ever on the move to see what havoc he could raise.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">He considered himself to be in his own house, and the Family, who also lived there with their cat, were to be driven out using whatever means available to him. Now as you know, a mouse is a very small animal and it is hard to see just how he could do this. But this little mouse had some cunning plans, and a very large ego. He thought he was invincible, and something like a Family and a cat would not be a problem to him. He watched the Family carefully before putting any plan into action. Firstly he must watch out for the cat. Not that it was a problem for him, as he knew every little hiding place that the cat could not get into. But he planned his routes carefully, as he had to cross open spaces across the rooms to get to his targets. Going from room to room was quite easy as the doors usually had enough room under them to slide through. Those that were more difficult to enter he had tunneled through to make his own entrances and exits. Again to small for the cat.</p>
<p><span id="more-41"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Having made all the areas he needed to be in easy and familiar, now was the time to start his plan to get this Family out of HIS house. He was now really ready, and plan number one was to make life hard for the two children that were part of the Family. They were aged three and five The little girl and the young boy. They had to be the first to frighten. It was easy, the mouse had found a white handkerchief on the floor, and he got under it and ran with it across the childrens room. He was delighted to hear them scream and shout for their Mummy. Of course he then shot down his hidden mouse hole, leaving the handkerchief there. The children said that they had seen a small ghost run across the room, which of course made Mummy laugh, and told them not to be so silly. This was a good first plan, and it had worked well. He would have to do this several more times to make mummy fed up with the same story from the children, and start making her angry. He was now rubbing his whiskers with delight.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Now he had no trouble in getting his food, as he used the cats dish to get any food she left. But he always made as much mess as he could by carrying the food all over the floor and treading it in the carpets. It was nice to hear the cat getting told off so much, as the Family thought it was him. The little mouse also let the cat see him on lots of occasions just by a closed door. As soon as the cat ran over to him, he would just pop under the door. The cat would then go wild and meowed and scratched the door to try to get him. But each time the cat was told off for ruining the paint on the door, and told off very sternly.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Eventually the cat was so confused and troublesome, the Family had to get rid of him. The mouse rolled about on his back laughing and was so pleased he was winning his house back slowly. With that plan done and now the children were to frightened to sleep in their bedroom, he felt that this was a good day.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Now the plan for the Mummy and Daddy. The mouse had found a telephone wire just under the floor boards. He had chewed through it carefully to expose the bare wires. As soon as the phone rang he would rush to the wires and with a dead matchstick in his mouth he would push the wires together as soon as the Mummy or Daddy answered it. This of course stopped the phone working, and annoyed them very much. The engineers that came to check the phone could find nothing wrong as the wires were now apart again and well hidden under the floor.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">What a clever mouse. He found lots more ways to stop lights working and going to the desk in the study and taking letters and bills away down under the floor, so that they soon became in debt, as they never paid the bills he was stealing. So eventually they had to leave, and just could not understand why that house had been such a nightmare to live in. The mouse settled back in his bed and had the biggest smile that you had ever seen, he had HIS house back again!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">http://bloggingnewbies.com &#8211; Just a little story that popped out of my head, well it was for the kids!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="body" style="text-align: justify;">
<p>There are many different types of art in the world. I consider &#8220;Art&#8221; to be something a person can find beauty in some form. It enhances life as we live it &#8211; it breathes new life into the world, it creates fads that may come and go &#8211; and even return at times. We truly live in a wonderful world and it&#8217;s nice to appreciate these things that surrounds us each and every day.</p>
<p>It can range from actual paintings, music, TV shows, movies, and many other things. Perhaps we have seen a painting before that captivated us. Or perhaps a wonderfully taken picture of a sunset, a city, or the ocean. Perhaps an anime or cartoon may have a distinct and unique style to it. We&#8217;ve all probably heard music that we immediately fall in love with at some point or another. Even a TV show can be so funny, or a nice sequence of action scenes that can be a spectacle to behold.</p>
<p><span id="more-31"></span></p>
<p>There are movies that may impress us, from the story, to the actors, and a great director. A video game can be so well done, both artistically and within it&#8217;s unique playability &#8211; that it can also be considered Art.<br />
The world we live in, is constantly surrounded by this Art. Sometimes we can see it, sometimes we don&#8217;t &#8211; or at times we may just appreciate something later in life to call it art. Each new day into the future brings us many new things to behold and appreciate.</p></div>
