"It hits your best defenseman in the face, blows up his cheek pretty much." "Terrible bounce," Dallas goalie Jake Oettinger said. Immediately, Heiskanen dropped to all fours. The puck hit Stars defenseman Ryan Suter, then rose high and wide right, striking Heiskanen. The score was 0-0 early in the second period of Game 3 on Sunday when Kraken forward Tye Kartye fired a shot above the left face-off circle. Luckily, it wasn't too bad and too serious." "It's kind of bad feeling when you are laying on the table and can't do much there. "Of course, I can hear the goal horn," Heiskanen said. Heiskanen made it seem so routine that it was hard to believe where he had been about 48 hours earlier, stuck in a training room after taking a puck in the face, getting stitched up, feeling helpless as his team unraveled in a 7-2 loss. Game 5 is at American Airlines Center in Dallas on Thursday (9:30 p.m. The 23-year-old defenseman had an assist and played 31:02, by far the most of any skater on either team, helping the Stars tie the best-of-7 series 2-2. Dark red, almost black, dried blood scabbed over stitches holding together a deep cut in his cheek.

Over several days, the ape, Ishmael, as gruff as his Greek model, drags the man into a new understanding of humanity's place in the world. The nameless man, who narrates, answers a newspaper ad (``TEACHER seeks pupil.'') that takes him to a shabby office tenanted by a giant gorilla lo! the ape begins to talk to him telepathically (Quinn's failure to explain this ability is typical of his approach: idea supersedes story). What's most unusual is that this novel scarcely is one: beneath a thin narrative glaze, it's really a series of Socratic dialogues between man and ape, with the ape as Socrates. Is it that good-or bad? No, but it's certainly unusual, even eccentric, enough to place Quinn (the paperback Dreamer, 1988) on the cult literary map. Here's the novel that, out of 2500 submissions, won the ecological-minded Turner Tomorrow Award-and caused a mutiny among the judges when it was awarded the $500,000 first prize. Is A la recherche du temps perdu an autobiographical novel? Discuss. Swann’s Way (Vol One of In Search of Lost Time) by Marcel Proust Here is our joint selection of 10 fictional works inspired by real lives.ġ. Alex Pheby’s work, too, has always dealt with the ways life and writing intersect, and with the combination of lucid perception and fantasy to be found in both fiction and the experience of mental illness. The overlap is clear, because stories about real people, where individual consciousness meets the historical record, are inventively inflected, and in any case, as Proust said, “the facts of life do not penetrate to the sphere in which our beliefs are cherished.” But invented stories should still respect real sources: in Murmur, my fantasia on themes inspired by the life of the logician and computer science pioneer Alan Turing, I had no wish to attribute to a genius things he did not say, and so there is a Turing avatar, Alec Pryor, doing the wondering for me. The A and B slugs are the shortest and only just protrude above the cover. The D and G slugs are highest, with the E slugs slightly shorter. These Jaguar pickups have the post-64 staggered magnets, but it’s a very different stagger to Fender’s previous designs. The foam on this particular specimen is most likely non-original, but if a wider strip replaced it, the foam would contact the bridge pickup when deactivated and this might help to dampen any unwanted vibration. When deactivated, which will probably be most of the time, it can rattle a bit. It’s a spring-loaded device, with a foam strip that lifts to butt up against the strings. Mechanically activated string ‘mutes’ or dampeners were a popular feature on many guitars at the time, but the Jaguar was the first Fender model to have one onboard. Individual pickup switches replace the three-way toggle selector and the third switch activates a bass frequency roll-off filter. The Jaguar shares the Jazzmaster’s offset body shape, vibrato design and the rhythm-circuit concept, but it’s a very different guitar. Both of these pairings demonstrate clear evolutionary steps, where the subsequent model carried some ideas over from the previous one, while addressing certain issues and introducing new features. In a sense, the Jaguar was to the Jazzmaster what the Stratocaster was to the Telecaster. Although Fender made several different types of guitar before the CBS takeover, four models are clearly more significant than all the others.

Once Michael realizes the new nature of Skellig, he realizes he can’t help the creature alone. Thematically, this is an important factor for the rest of the novel. Not only does the main character have the name of one of the archangels-Michael-but he also lives on a road named after a person who trains winged creatures. It is here, too, that the overtones of names in the novel should be noted. On one of these trips, a key revelation of the book comes about-Michael discovers that Skellig seems to have wings where his shoulder blades are. Skellig gets Michael to promise to not tell anyone and the boy agrees, also agreeing to bring Skellig sustenance-in the form of food and ale (a much better meal than the insects Skellig had been eating). It is at this point that Michael’s luck begins to change, because while Skellig looks run down and hopeless, there is a sense that he has more capabilities than he lets on. There, he finds what he first thinks is a creature, but more resembles a man-who you later come to find out is the titular Skellig. A little while after moving into the new house, Michael decides to take an adventure down to the garage on the property-which he’s usually not allowed to go near because it is structurally unsound and his parents don’t want him getting hurt.
