  • Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister
    Reading Guide Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister By Gregory Maguire ISBN: 9780060987527 Summary We have all heard the story of Cinderella, the beautiful child cast out to slave among the ashes. But what of her stepsisters, the homely pair exiled into ignominy by the fame of their lovely sibling? What fate befell those untouched by beauty...and what curses accompanied Cinderella's exquisite looks? Set against the rich backdrop of seventeenth-century Holland, Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister tells the story of Iris, an unlikely heroine who finds herself swept from the lowly streets of Haarlem to a strange world of wealth, artifice, and ambition. Iris's path quickly becomes intertwined with that of Clara, the mysterious and unnaturally beautiful girl destined to become her sister. Far more than a mere fairy-tale, Confessions is a novel of beauty and betrayal, illusion and understanding, reminding us that deception can be unearthed -- and love unveiled -- in the most unexpected of places. Questions for Discussion 1. While versions of the Cinderella story go back at least a thousand years, most Americans are familiar with the tale of the glass slippers, the pumpkin coach, and the fairy godmother. In what ways does Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister contain the magical echo of this tale, and in what ways does it embrace the traditions of a straight historical novel? 2. Confessions is, in part, about the difficulty and the value of seeing-seeing paintings, seeing beauty, seeing the truth. Each character in Confessions has blinkers or blinders on about one thing or another. What do the characters overlook, in themselves and in one another? 3.

  • A Path to Beauty - Architects Foresee a Day When More Local Homes Fit City's Glorious Setting DOES NEW ANCHORAGE HOUSING HAVE to BE SO UGLY?
    A path to beauty - Architects foresee a day when more local homes fit city's glorious setting DOES NEW ANCHORAGE HOUSING HAVE TO BE SO UGLY? Anchorage Daily News (AK) - Sunday, June 11, 2006 Author: MARK BAECHTEL Anchorage Daily News ; Staff Back in 1978, there was a civic dust-up concerning the Captain Cook statue on L Street. It seems some were offended that Cook is standing with his back to the city. At the time, Ralph Alley, an iconoclastic local architect who has since left Alaska, said there was a logical reason the good captain had turned away: Anchorage, he said, is ugly. Cook simply didn't care to look at it. While Alley took some heat for saying that, a fair percentage of those who have opinions about the look of our city -- particularly its neighborhoods -- have agreed with his sentiment. Indeed, according to a group of residential architects consulted for this article, the nearly 30 years that have elapsed since Alley spanked Anchorage for its aesthetic deficiencies haven't given Cook much reason to turn around. "Ugly means different things to different people," says architect Catherine Call. "When I think of an ugly neighborhood, I think of T1-11- siding, vinyl windows of one size repeated everywhere, a 4-in-12 roof pitch with asphalt shingles, and a two-story box." The odds are good that many reading this article at breakfast tables across the Anchorage Bowl just thought, "Hey, that describes my neighborhood." Opinions vary about what has caused the bland uniformity- that holds sway along too many of our city's streets, and there is disagreement about what might cure it or what we're really talking about when we say "ugly house." While architects and policymakers debate such questions, there is a rising tide of homeowners taking matters into their own hands.

Okay, you wanna talk about turning 13? It’s a nightmare. I’ve got hair growing in places I didn’t know were places. Plus, my parents are splitting up. Plus – plus I also have to have my Bar Mitzvah. The one event that defines you. The Jewish Super Bowl. I don’t care how much my parents hate each other. They’d better pull it together and make sure that everything about this party is absolutely, positively, for once, please God, perfect! (Answers phone) Hey mom, what’s up? What? You never said anything about moving! Where? INDIANA? Noooo! Patrice: Let me get this straight: your mom decided to move to Appleton Indiana because her cousin Pam lives here? Wow. Sounds like the divorce got ugly. So you’re going to have your Bar Mitzvah here? The one day of your life that everything is supposed to be happy and perfect. See, Catholics don’t have that day.

The Pilot 19 (P19) is the vee hull version of our HM19. While the HM19 offers a maximum of stability and is very economical to build and operate thanks to it's dory type flat bottom hull, several builders requested a vee hull to handle choppy waters without pounding. The vee hull will require more labor than the HM19 hull and also more horsepower to reach the same speed but she will keep going in bad weather while the HM19 will have to slow down. The proven hull shape with a moderate vee similar to the C19 and CX19:45 degrees at the cutwater, 10 degrees at the transom. Sufficient deadrise to run smoothly in bad weather but moderate enough to provide good stability at slow speed without the wild roll typical of deeper vee hulls. The generous freeboard and the classic sheer are also tried and true features contributing to seaworthiness. This boat will negotiate both head and following seas with ease. The P19 will require 90 HP to cruise in the low 30 mph range. This boats transom is designed for a standard 20" shaft.
