We should totally do a concept album.
The tubes seem clear here in the desert.
The figure, while well executed, would probably have several elements eliminated if Tufte had a hand in it.
True enough. But while Tufte is inspiring, I tend to follow Bill Cleveland for practical details. The light gridlines and all-round tickmarks are there deliberately, given the purpose of the figure -- you explicitly want to read from one axis to the other. Although, looking at it now, if I hadn't been in a rush this morning I would've remembered to have the y-axis read "Cooking Time in Hours at 325F" instead of just "Cooking Time in Hours."
what if the makers of 300 made a movie about the American Revolutionary War?
This is SPARTANBURG!
Little stories that put the hem in Hemingway.
Tolkien began in minuscule when Gandhi was still a lawyer, and didn't end til the wastebasket was finally cleaned out after the millennium -- a enormously long delay that caused substantial embarrassment, trumped only by that Publisher's Weekly occurrence when a wired Asimov connoisseur couldn't be accommodated in the fan hierarchy: with a deity like Asimov at the top, etiquette demanded Pharaonic treatment be enforced by someone; maybe Teresa, or perhaps it's Macdonald, no its that Nielsen-Hayden guy.
A lot of university press ... titles get distributed to a handful of bookstores. Are they trade books? Those authors and those publishers would say yes, and I can't see any good reason to contradict them, at least not to their faces.
Ow, I flinch. I wince. If you prick us, do we not bleed, etc. :-)
I like it that the first four comments offered four different solutions, each of which would work.
I need to find the menu option that bans people from writing 1-page announcements or fliers in Word and then emailing them as attachments to hundreds of people.
I study this stuff in my non-blogging spare time ... Just to echo what several people have said, it's very important to talk explicitly to your next-of-kin about your wishes. Next-of-kin effectively have a veto in cadaveric donation, signed donor card or not.
Just to pile on:
Webb, though, is in an advantageous position since he has both the grassroots and D.C. Democratic establishment firmly behind him.
If the grassroots are firmly behind him, does that mean Webb is flat on his back?
Ah, my green'n'lovely homeland. Have a grand time, but be sure not to take any shite from the locals -- especially about literary Ireland. The "Great Irish Writers" poster you will inevitably see hanging in a pub somewhere is notable mainly for the fact that more or less all of the writers on it left Ireland voluntarily never to return, were driven out by their fellow countrymen, or stayed and roundly despised the place while on their way to an early death.
When correctly viewed
Everything is rude
I could tell you things about Peter Pan
Or the Wizard of Oz --
There's a dirty old man.
I wrote about this the other day. I'm here at the University of Arizona, and have been wondering what it would be like to teach in an environment where this law was in effect. I mean, it's prime facie insane, so it will be interesting to see if it passes.
That was fun. I imagine the reference to "shite sandbags" in the last dream should really read "white sandbags," but I am not a military man.
Some say that hell is filled with tires
Some say with mice
The bards I think have crossed their wires
I hold with those who favor pliers
But if I had to sing it twice
I think I too might go astray
And say that for damnation mice
Are also grey
And would suffice.
