As with all good bull sessions, what is said here ranges widely in quality and seriousness, as one should expect when dealing with a complex man." -The New York Times "The values of Plain Speaking, on the whole, are those of the highest form of political communication: the bull session. Truman felt about the presidency, and his thoughts in his later years on his accomplishments and the legacy he left behind. Using a series of taped discussions from 1962 that never aired on television, Plain Speaking takes an opportunity to deliver exactly how Mr. From these interviews, as well as others who knew him over the years, Miller transcribes Truman's feisty takes on everything from his personal life, military service, and political career to the challenges he faced in taking the office during the final days of World War II and the beginning of the Cold War. Plain Speaking is the bestselling book based on conversations between Merle Miller and the thirty-third President of the United States, Harry S. "Never has a President of the United States, or any head of state for that matter, been so totally revealed, so completely documented" (Robert A. This chapter, actually, addresses fundamentals of CMOS IC logic designing with reduced power consumption. Meanwhile, there exists another way how to reduce power consumption: it is possible to use some special methods and concepts even at the initial phases of logic IC design. 2 such methods and solutions are scrutinized in great depth. As it is illustrated in the previous chapters, some special trends in development of present-day submicron technologies are coercing the IC designers to seek after any new design techniques and methods, targeted at reduction of power consumption associated with leak currents value, and input of those noticeably increases along with diminishing of design norms. This chapter attends to some peculiar features of logic designing of CMOS low-power consumption ICs. Of sf interest are Ties like the Gamebook Combat Command in the World of Keith Laumer's Star Colony: The Omega Rebellion ( 1987), and several Star Wars Ties, beginning with Star Wars: The New Jedi Order: Star by Star ( 2001). As the forces of darkness threaten to engulf the galaxy, one last defiant spark remains. (1958- ) US author best known for numerous fantasy Ties, mostly in the Dark Sun and Forgotten Realms domains, at least once using the pseudonym or House Name Richard Awlinson for a title in the latter franchise these are not listed below. The hero is famous for his poetic language, his humourless perspectives and melodramatic flashbacks, for paraphrasing the Bible and even quoting Nietzsche. He is comparable in power to Superman, but he is more alien and aloof to earthly perspectives.

The book was part of a competition with a big cash prize, which was solved in 1988, when Wilks published The Annotated Ultimate Alphabet it included descriptions and clues for each of the items hidden in the extremely detailed paintings. There are more than 7,777 words represented in the book, with lots more little secrets hidden in the paintings there are letters encoded in Morse code or semaphore, obscure symbolism, and visual gags. Back in 1986, artist Mike Wilks published a book called The Ultimate Alphabet, which featured 26 different paintings, each filled with items that corresponded to the letters of the alphabet the letter A painting contains airplanes, ants, an apple tree, and so on. Many of the experiences recounted between the covers will be familiar to queer readers across generations. A parade of pop cultural icons (Cher, Alanis Morisette, Sandra Oh and Eileen Grey from Grey’s Anatomy) and other references (Grease, My Little Pony, Jem & The Holograms for example) are woven throughout as we tag along on Ebensperger’s journey from pre-school to his youth and his adult life. Drawn in bold strokes and bright shades of fuschia and pinks contrasted here and there with shades of gray, the appearance of a snarky Frida Kahlo (tagged with “Not copied from Google”) juxtaposed with the above quote of hers about the value of laughter alerted me of the goodness to follow.Īt the heart of Gay Giant is an existential question central to queer people: Have you ever had the feeling that even if you wanted to you’d never blend in? Ebensperger answers it with unwavering irreverance, charm, humor, thoughtfulness, and compassion. Gay Giant is the title of Chilean artist Gabriel Ebensperger’s graphic memoir about growing up gay and finding his own place in life largely surrounded by a heteronormative and often macho culture. It is strength to laugh and to abandon oneself, to be light. Patton’s Elizabethan ebonics middle passage abecedarium, Teething on Type, came out with Rodent Press in 1995. But anyone who’s been to one of his talks/ installations/ performances has probably seen and perhaps handled, maybe even walked home with one of the carefully written and gorgeously designed works he self-publishes for these occasions. Kocik’s Overcoming Fitness came out as an Autonomedia pamphlet a few years ago. Two names that come immediately to mind in this light are Robert Kocik and Julie Patton: verbal and conceptual geniuses, of different stripes, whose extensive (written) works demand wide readership. I mean, there are plenty of (young) poets whose work I admire and is difficult to find because it’s not yet published, or rarely published. I sat on this so long because I didn’t know where to start or stop because such a question seems geared to the senior poet. Fibroids occur in 20–25% of women of reproductive age, but this percentage may be a gross underestimate as studies by Drs. The role of oral contraceptives in stimulating the growth of fibroids remains somewhat controversial and we have yet to know what effects hormone replacement therapy might have on these tumors. Estrogen and progesterone undoubtedly play an important role in growth and development of these tumors, which are not seen before puberty, undergo a rapid increase in size during pregnancy, and then regress postmenopausally. It is obvious that many of these symptoms are due to the anatomic location of the tumors but other findings, such as impaired fertility, may result from presently unknown biochemical alterations in the endometrium mediated by a fibroid. Uterine leiomyomata are the most common pelvic tumors in women and are associated with a variety of symptoms including abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic pain, urinary frequency, impaired fertility, and spontaneous abortion.
