The Gunslingers Art is not lost in the future nor in the past.
The Dark Tower
The Dark Tower Stands
Stephen King has written and continues to write this massive volume of perhaps his most famous work.
Wizard and Glass plus the Dark Tower Series of books perhaps the largest tome that Stephen King has ever done.
As most constant readers know the dark tower series is perhaps Mr. Kings best work with the shreds of what appears to be our world that has impinged on a future world that has been destroyed by a war or many wars.
The dark tower books are woven in-between many different books including some of his older works that are now movies, you have to be a good reader and watcher to know which of these books contains references to the world which Roland of Giliad, is from and the walking man, from the Stand as well as many other books, there are references to this work in many of these tales.
This tells us many things about this book and the author, as also many of you will know Mr. King was injured by an alleged drunkard, who hit him while not paying attention to what he was doing.
His work changed after this and some think that it changed for the worse, but for sure being a victim of a head injury it changes you sometimes for the better sometimes for the worse, you just never know for sure how it will work out in the long run, we may see some different things in the end for Roland and his pals, because of so many things that happened and because of the rush to end the series, so believe that he thought he may not finish the book at all.
Still others believe that he has not actually finished the book but has instead placed it in a state of suspended animation, until such time as the real course of action can be fixed in the absence of the true story which did not truly end but instead left things in a state that you may not like.
Either way, one thing that many have forgotten was the tale of Susan Delgato.
Warning Spoilers beyond this point, if you have not read the dark tower series you should not read any further.
To be continued…

These Tv shows are popular in fact they are so popular that there have been several spin off programs that have been created each with different types of content, many of the actual professional CSI technicians criticize these shows as being too easy of course when you have less than 45 min of programming time to work with minus the commercials you have to do something a little different.
The original show was good in fact, it was so good they made three more shows from that one, but only one of them really did well CSI Miami, and CSI new york, of those two you can get a different opinion about each, of course the lead Gary Sinise takes the cake hands down, against the lead for Miami, whom some say tends to pull his punches a little too much.
Either way the show is certainly popular and is sure to please the scientist at least most of the time, I have seen some of these shows that seem to just take the plot too far and some that dont go far enough, of course a good writer can make these things work better and a less talented writer well you know how that usually ends up.
The graphic nature of some of the shows sort of turns off the younger crowd mostly girls, however the technical schools are filled with would be CSI students, and there is no end in sight to the commercials you see on TV about becoming a CSI investigator.
The real life work is rarely as simple and easy as they show on TV and the music is definitely never as good.
However they do a good job at times of showing exactly how frustrating it can be dealing with suspects that dont want to get caught.
Criminal law is rarely portrayed in the correct manner, usually they show a pro prosecution standpoint, which is only one side of the story, the defense side of the story is rarely told, but again they do not have as much time as it would take to do the job right.
Production is a mess on these shows, with special effects taking a lot of budget potential and music also being a large part of the budget, often you might wonder if they are doing the right thing.
Entertainment is the way of these shows and that is something they do well.

There is rarely just one way to learn however, reading has long been the best way to learn. Learning by reading or by visual interoperation is the best method for retaining information.
With all the influence the media has on television and cable viewers one might incorrectly jump to the conclusion that reading is a by gone habit that is no longer as popular as it once was however, that may not be the truth at all considering that most college and university settings still use the written word over all other methods of interaction with students.
So for all the naysayers that think reading is a thing of the past, take a good solid look at Amazon.com and also take a good look at their sales figures, they sell a lot of stuff and reading is just one small part of the whole.
Read a book, learn a little more than you thought you knew and you will find that you have improved your life in the small amount of time it takes to read just this article you will have improved your hand to eye coordination and your comprehension, with all the recent hype that we see on the cable shows, you can get everything you want and know every news story in less than 15 minuets.
The next time you get ready to turn on the TV, grab a book instead…

In The Cambridge Companion to Keats, leading scholars discuss Keats’s work in several fascinating contexts: literary history and key predecessors;
Keats’s life in London’s intellectual, aesthetic and literary culture; the relation of his poetry to the visual arts; the critical traditions and theoretical contexts within which Keats’s life and achievements have been assessed. These specially commissioned essays examine Keats’s specific poetic endeavours, his striking way with language, and his lively letters as well as his engagement with contemporary cultures and literary traditions, his place in criticism, from his day to ours, including the challenge he poses to gender criticism.
The contributions are sophisticated but accessible, challenging but lucid, and are complemented by an introduction to Keats’s life, a chronology, a descriptive list of contemporary people and periodicals, a source-reference for famous phrases and ideas articulated in Keats’s letters, a glossary of literary terms and a guide to further reading.
