It may help me get it published. https://www.inkitt.com/stories/thriller/201530 On This Day – 20th December 1808 - The original Covent Garden Theatre in London is destroyed by a fire, along with most of the scenery, costumes and scripts. 1924 – Adolf Hitler is released from Landsberg Prison. It’s Bo Aung Kyaw Day in Myanmar, and International Human Solidarity Day 365 Reasons To Be Proud To Be A Londoner - Magical Moments in London's History Frosty First You might think it's nippy in winter, but in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries it often got so cold that the Thames froze over. People went skating, set up markets, had horse and coach races, roasted oxen and even led an elephant over the ice in events known as Frost Fairs. A two-moth freeze started today in 1683, and a man named Croom set up a printing press to produce souvenir postcards for sixpence featuring the customer's name, the date and the fact that the card was printed on the Thames. They were wildly popular, with King Charles II even buying one. Croom thereby pioneered the modern postcard, celebrity endorsement, and the marketing of tourist tat in one fell swoop. Chuck D Presents This Day In Rap And Hip-Hop History 2011 - Young Jeezy releases his fourth album "TM: 103 Hustlerz Ambition" on Def Jam.

Rex - Electric Warrior Number 1 compilation album in 1991 - Various - Now 20 Drabble A drabble is a complete story that is exactly one hundred words long. Secret Santa “DIY Made Easy” was the title of the book. Someone who obviously didn’t know him well had given it to him in secret Santa. DIM would be more appropriate – destroy it myself – was the outcome of any home improvements. Clumsy was an understatement. The bookcase had a missing shelf, where he’d stood on it whilst unpacking it from the flat pack. The chair was missing an arm from resting laminate flooring on it to cut to size. Cut through the arm perfectly, but the floor panel was wonky. Perhaps the sender did know him, and was actually plotting to kill him! Joke An Irishman named O'Malley went to his doctor after a long illness. The doctor after a lengthy examination, sighed and looked O'Malley in the eye and said, "I've some bad news for you. You have cancer, and it can't be cured. You'd best put your affairs in order. O'Malley was shocked and saddened. But, being a solid character, he managed to compose himself and walk from the doctor's office into the waiting room, where his son had been waiting. "Well son, we Irish celebrate when things are good, and we celebrate when things don't go well. In this case, things aren't so well. I have cancer. Let's head to the pub and have a few pints." After 3 or 4 pints, or more, the two were feeling a little less sombre. There were some laughs and some more beers. They were eventually approached by some of O'Malley's old friends, who were curious as to what the two were celebrating. O'Malley told them that the Irish celebrate the good as well as the bad. He went on to tell his friends that they were drinking to his impending end. He told his friends, "I have been diagnosed with AIDS." The friends gave O'Malley their condolences, and they had a couple more beers. After the friends left, O'Malley's son leaned over and whispered his confusion. "Dad, I thought you told me that you were dying of cancer, and you just told your friends that you were dying of AIDS!" O'Malley said, "I don't want any of them sleeping with your Mother after I am gone." Random Items Facts The image of Father Christmas in Red and white was created by Coca-Cola in 1931 for an advertising campaign. Prior to this it was traditional for Father Christmas to be dressed in green. The name Santa Claus is derived from St. Nicholas who lived from 270-310AD, and was the bishop of Myra (modern day Finike) in Turkey. His Saints day is actually December 6th. Christmas crackers were invented around 1876 by Tom Smith, a baker of wedding cakes from Clerkenwell in London. It was invented from the French habit of wrapping sugared almonds in twists of paper as gifts. Thoughts Why is Christmas cake called fruitcake for the rest of the year? Is the day after Christmas called Boxing Day because you always have those relatives you hate round? Why are small children more interested in playing with the wrapping paper and not the present that came in it? Forgotten English Blottesque Of painting characterized by blotted touches heavily laid on; a rough executed picture. Words You Should Know Clandestine Secret, usually for an immoral or illicit purpose. Clandestine meetings are unlikely to involve your spouse; if they are work-related there won't be anyone taking minutes, because there's something slightly subversive going on. Popular Expressions – What They Mean And Where We Got Them Gordon Bennett A mild oath, similar to 'Oh God'. In fact, 'Gawd' and St Bennett (or Benet) have been put forward as the pair behind this expletive; St Benet is short for St Benedict. (Shakespeare has in Twelfth Night, 'the bells of St Bennett', possibly from the church, St Bennet Hithe, Paul's Wharf, opposite the Globe Theatre.) However it seems more likely that the said Gordon Bennett was in fact James Gordon Bennett (1841-1918), the editor in chief of the New York Herald, who, among other things, was responsible for sending Henry Morton Stanley (1841- 1904) to find Dr David Livingstone (1813-73) in Africa. Extravagant and extrovert, he gave his name to a motor race held in France in the 1900s, where he resided after a scandal in America. Such was his profile in society that there is a street in Paris named Avenue Gordon-Bennett. In English, the similarity between Gordon and Gawd must have struck a chord. At the turn of the nineteenth century, people shied away from blasphemy in the name of God and so this curse, which is still used today, was born. Similarly, 'Gorblimey' (later 'Cor Blimey') evolved instead of 'God blind me'. Flash Fiction Something between the 100 word shortness of a Drabble, and the short story, these are works of fiction somewhere between five hundred and seven hundred words. A Letter To Melissa Hello Melissa, There is no really appropriate way to open a letter like this and just saying hello and then your name seems so insignificant in the circumstances. What I am going to tell you will be impossible for you to believe, I am sure that you will think that it is just a story to try and appease you, from a heartless cad who has grown bored, I know if the roles were reversed that is probably how I would feel. However, nothing could be further from the truth, and I wish that I could tell you in person, so that I could explain fully and so you could see the truth in my eyes, and feel the sincerity of the words I could say to you. However events have overtaken me and I don’t have time to be there in person, in fact I barely have time to write and send this letter, as I am writing it as I am being whisked away to my flight home. I wasn’t expecting to go home, but my ancient overlords have found me out, and have given me no choice in the matter, I have had to leave with them.

  • In the Court of Appeal of the State of California
    Filed 12/7/15 Certified for Publication 12/22/15 (order attached) IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA FOURTH APPELLATE DISTRICT DIVISION THREE THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, G050444 v. (Super. Ct. No. 13CF1958) RAPHAEL JARED SCALLY, O P I N I O N Defendant and Appellant. Appeal from a judgment of the Superior Court of Orange County, Michael J. Cassidy, Judge. Affirmed. David R. Greifinger, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant. Kamala D. Harris, Attorney General, Gerald A. Engler, Chief Assistant Attorney General, Julie L. Garland, Assistant Attorney General, Charles C. Ragland and Marvin E. Mizell, Deputy Attorneys General, for Plaintiff and Respondent. * * * The jury found defendant guilty of one count of pimping (Pen. Code, § 266h, subd. (a)) and one count of pandering (Pen. Code, § 266i, subd. (a)). The court held a bench trial and found it to be true that defendant committed the offenses while out on bail. (Pen. Code, § 12022.1, subd. (b).) The court sentenced defendant to the midterm of four years on the pimping count, stayed imposition of the sentence on the pandering count, and imposed, but stayed, a two year on-bail enhancement. On appeal, defendant raises a single issue: that the court erred by permitting the People’s expert to testify that certain text messages sent from defendant to individuals other than the particular prostitute at issue were consistent with pimping activity. Defendant contends this was improper character evidence under Evidence Code section 1101. We conclude the evidence was relevant to rebut the defense that the prostitute was merely defendant’s girlfriend — a nonpropensity basis for relevance — and thus we affirm.

It has endured in the face of the changing times, without itself changing much, isolated off in its own world. Glorfindel had the opinion that Bombadil would be the last to fall, after all else was lost, last as he was first. In Tolkien’s story, that opinion was never tested. Good triumphed over evil, and everyone lived happily ever after. Not true on the Internet. Since 1993, the forces of evil have created a desolation and oppression that Sauron even with the help of his ruling ring could not imagine perpetrating. From the days of the Internet as an academic research network until today’s Internet I have witnessed ruination unbelieveable. The decay, corruption, and runiation of the Internet boggles my mind. Like Tom Bombadil in his carefully demarcated borders, The Genesis Discography has been an island in the storm, surrounded on all sides but never giving in.

  • Lycra, Legs, and Legitimacy: Performances of Feminine Power in Twentieth Century American Popular Culture
    LYCRA, LEGS, AND LEGITIMACY: PERFORMANCES OF FEMININE POWER IN TWENTIETH CENTURY AMERICAN POPULAR CULTURE Quincy Thomas A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2018 Committee: Jonathan Chambers, Advisor Francisco Cabanillas, Graduate Faculty Representative Bradford Clark Lesa Lockford © 2018 Quincy Thomas All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jonathan Chambers, Advisor As a child, when I consumed fictional narratives that centered on strong female characters, all I noticed was the enviable power that they exhibited. From my point of view, every performance by a powerful character like Wonder Woman, Daisy Duke, or Princess Leia, served to highlight her drive, ability, and intellect in a wholly uncomplicated way. What I did not notice then was the often-problematic performances of female power that accompanied those narratives. As a performance studies and theatre scholar, with a decades’ old love of all things popular culture, I began to ponder the troubling question: Why are there so many popular narratives focused on female characters who are, on a surface level, portrayed as bastions of strength, that fall woefully short of being true representations of empowerment when subjected to close analysis? In an endeavor to answer this question, in this dissertation I examine what I contend are some of the paradoxical performances of female heroism, womanhood, and feminine aggression from the 1960s to the 1990s. To facilitate this investigation, I engage in close readings of several key aesthetic and cultural texts from these decades. While the Wonder Woman comic book universe serves as the centerpiece of this study, I also consider troublesome performances and representations of female power in the television shows Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the film Grease, the stage musical Les Misérables, and the video game Tomb Raider.
