A beautiful book that reveals the world of art collecting from home, featuring exquisite examples of Hollingsworth and Morris family furniture. Start with House, Finish with a Collection is the story of how a couple's use of American art and antiques evolved from furnishing a house into a full-blown passion for collecting. Featuring exquisite examples of Hollingsworth and Morris family furniture, Weber boxes, Pennsylvania clocks and Kirk-Stieff silver, as well as American paintings by the Peale family, Edward Hicks, Edward Redfield and Horace Pippin, this museum-calibre collection reveals a pride in the early American sensibility. The combination of text and extraordinary photographs traces this remarkable journey and demonstrates that life can be more than comfortable living among these collections. The compendium catalogues the diversified and important collection, making this a valuable scholarly reference as well as a reading pleasure.

Traces the rise and fall of Maya civilization through its great royal cities, from El Mirador, the largest and oldest, to the rival city-states of the Classical period such as Tikal, Calakmul, Yaxchilán, Palenque, Toniná, and Copán. He then moves on to the great cities of the Terminal Classic period; at a time when the mighty centers of the southern lowlands were in a steep decline, cities to the north such as Uxmal and Kabah achieved a pinnacle of architectural beauty. After that he turns to the Postclassic period and Chichén Itzá in central Yucatán, a huge, cosmopolitan city that flourished during a military and cultural takeover by the Toltecs of central Mexico.

Starting as a noob and having a dream to become pro………………………. So from the title of my blog you all can guess that this is my first blog and I'm have no experience in writing blogs but I do want to share something with all of you that when I was in 9th standard there was a teacher of English and he was very expert in failing students most of the time 90% of the students were failed in his subject . It's not just that the children don't have skills or they write everything wrong in the answer book but the teacher used to point out silly mistakes and just mark failure . Sometimes we used to get only 1/2 marks in 5 marks questions .It was new for all of us because we used to get 90% at-least till 8th grade . suddenly the declination in marks makes all of our classmates very upset some of us started skipping his class .Most of us started making fun of him like we use to copy his walking style some time we use to still his books that he carries with him always also some of our teacher don't like him and they said he is nothing without his bag . Although we all were very frustrated because of his gesture that he used to have . His teaching technique was very unique and he never used white board during my whole period of study. He never used any marker to explain anything on board . He was the first teacher I ever knew who never used markers . He used to dictate when he wanted us to write something .Sometimes we asked for a word again but Never repeated the word . In the whole period of time he never told us how to do problems , we have to do things on our own and then we got wrong most of the time and he just put a cross and left the solution to do it again on our own. This was ridiculous that time we somehow by practicing we got that question correct. We also have to read the fiction and tell its meaning to class from 4/5 students he use to choose the correct explanation of the stanza it was quite fun because the student whose explanation is wrong was not allowed to sit till the class end but rule for girls were different he allow them to sit after a while. After all his cruelty we somehow started liking him because the gap between the toppers and backbenchers was no more, everyone

She's been dirt poor; she's been filthy rich. Rich was more fun. She married three times, divorced twice, found her true love, and lost him to cancer. At twenty-one, she was told she would soon die. She lived. Doctors said she'd never be able to have children. She had 'em. She's bargained with God, dictators, and Democrats. She's partied with princes, presidents, premiers, Barbara Walters, Anwar Sadat, Margaret Thatcher, Tom Hanks, and Francisco Franco . . . though not all at the same time. She captivated powerful men with her feminine charm, and then persuaded them toward unlikely political alliances through her formidable intelligence. She waltzed with Prince Philip in Buckingham Palace, dressed in men's clothes and smuggled herself in a barrel across the Pakistani border, threw a Roman-themed party so extravagant it was featured in Life magazine, and survived a Soviet gunship attack in the mountains of Afghanistan. Joanne Herring, the Houston socialite portrayed by Julia Roberts in the film Charlie Wilson's War, is far more colorful, funny, and likable than any screenwriter could have guessed. The former Texas television anchor is known for her improbable fight with the mujahideen against the former Soviet Union. But her full story-with all its God, guns, and Gucci glory-has never been told. Born in the man's world of Texas in a time when women had limited choices, Joanne Herring blazed a trail with allies as unlikely as Charlie Wilson, Pierre Cardin, and President Ronald Reagan . . . and in so doing forged new paths for women in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and America.
