New york ap ; -- is james frey's "my friend leonard, " the sequel to his discredited "a million little pieces, " fact or fiction? in an author's note to the paperback edition, which has just come out, frey says it's some of both. "to call this book pure nonfiction would be inaccurate, " the author writes. "it is a combination of fact and fiction, real and imagined events." frey has acknowledged that major sections of "a million little pieces, " his million-selling memoir of addiction and recovery that oprah winfrey endorsed, then ridiculed, were fabricated. some of the revelations, first reported by the investigative web site the smoking gun, also raised doubts about "my friend leonard." frey now acknowledges that "significant" parts of "my friend leonard, " a best-selling story about his friendship with a gangster, were also invented. in "a million little pieces, " frey writes of a threemonth jail term that he later acknowledged never serving. "my friend leonard" begins with the author behind bars, getting hit in the head by a "three hundred pound man named porterhouse.
To show 7 ; . we show this using lemma 1.8, that is, by showing that the options of the games n and 2a ; + q are all equivalent. the options of n are 0, 1, 2, . , the options of 2a ; + are of two kinds, depending on whether the player moves in the nim heap 2a ; or q. the first kind of options are given by 0 + r2a -1 where the equivalence of i + with some nim heap ri , for 0 i 2a , holds by inductive assumption. moreover, by lemma 1.11 which is a consequence of theorem 1.10 which can be used by inductive assumption ; , both i and q are less than 2a so that also ri 2a . the right hand side in 8 ; , there are 2a many nim heaps ri for 0 i 2a claim they are all different, so that these options form exactly the set . namely, by adding the game q to the heap ri , 5 ; implies ri + q that ri r j implies ri + q that is, i j and hence i j by lemma 1.9, for 0 i, j 2a the second kind of options of 2a ; + are of the form 2a ; + 0 where the heap sizes on the right hand sides are given again by inductive assumption. these heaps form the set . together with the first kind of options, they are exactly the options of n. this shows that the options of n and of the game sum 2a ; + q are indeed equivalent, which completes the proof. the nim sum of any set of numbers can be obtained by writing each number as a sum of distinct powers of two and then cancelling repetitions in pairs. for example, 6 4.

And complete a merging of actions as those walton describes as occurring when we engage with a depiction, though. remember, walton wrote of the viewer of hobbema's painting that "his actual act of looking at the painting is what makes it fictional that he looks at a mill" 295 ; . though i can imagine that my act of clicking makes my listening to a friend's story fictional, this imagining is not prescribed by most of the work. in fact, many nodes are hard to incorporate in such an analysis, as they are told in the present tense and ignore the narratee completely, as though they were thought at the time of the event rather than told to a listener or reader. the question in the first node, "do you want to hear about it?" does require me to imagine myself being directly addressed by the narrator. in that question, the narrator directly addresses me. perhaps i imagine peter, the narrator of the story though i do not yet know his name as i read this node for the first time ; , turning directly towards me and speaking to me. fictionally, peter asks me a question. in the actual world, words on a screen pose a question. fictionally, i respond by answering yes, or no, or by remaining silent. in the actual world, i answer the question by clicking y or n simply clicking at random. i imagine my actual answer to be a fictional answer. this question and my answer are an example of a depiction. in this depiction there is also a brief moment of what pavel calls ontological fusion. "do you want to hear about it?" is asked both of the fictional narratee and of me, the actual reader, and in my acts of reading and answering the question i fuse with the fictional narratee for an instant. walton uses depiction to refer to representations in which the actual act of viewing, reading or listening is part of the game of make-believe. this has some similarity with kacandes's involuntary performatives, where by reading the words you enact what they say kacandes 1993; walker 2001 ; . a sentence like "you've read me this far then? even this far?" barth 1988: 127 ; is, according to kacandes, an involuntary performative. we could also call it a depiction. reading the sentence, i 47.

By ed martin ed jackmyers hollywood, ca -- there are always a handful of controversial or problematic panels during any television critics association conference, but the one network that generally escapes unscathed and never fails to impress the press is the discovery channel. after all, given the nature of its programming, which is usually educational or entertaining or both, what's not to like? yesterday, however, in what may be a tca first, discovery found itself promoting a program that elicited a hostile reaction from the critics and reporters gathered here. and, later in its session, the network dealt with an even more troubling issue: the recent bizarre behavior of steve irwin, otherwise known as discovery's crocodile hunter, who made headlines when he alarmingly carried his infant son into a crocodile pit. the program that upset the press is discovery's upcoming series "animal face-off, " which seeks to educate viewers about the sheer power and physical abilities of some of the strongest and most dangerous creatures on earth, such as lions, sharks and crocodiles. in a move that will surely attract the "battlebots" crowd, each installment will feature impressive mechanized models of these animals ferociously biting, clawing and destroying things. so far, so good. but for reasons the series' participants a cluster of self-proclaimed animal lovers ; could not sufficiently explain, each episode will end with a computer generated violent showdown and Yahoo.

How well i was paddling. even stacey said we all worked really well as a team. that night was had a great dinner, and i went back to my tent to read, relax, and fall asleep. i believe john, michelle, gary, and jonathan lost some money, and god knows what else, in a joker poker game. then, there was the variety show produced by the crew that i missed. sunday morning i awoke to the smell of breakfast, and wandered over to the cantina. when we made our way to the river, we made friends with another boat team i'll call them "the allies" ; , which proved to be a blessing later. i'll explain what i mean in time! the air was colder, and the water was wilder, and stacey had the flu. we got a substitute guide. i can't remember his name, but we knew we could push the limits with him. he did say that "some people" complained about get caught in water wars, and that the crews were going to try to separate them. out of about 12 boats, we saw that maybe only thress others were with us. i guess the other nine didn't like us. oh, well. our war with the people who don't live in pasadena escalated, and we plotted to kidnap peach, their guide. john actually got to her, and was going to drag her off, but she convinced him not to. john, you're too nice, damn it! you should have at least made her walk the plank! the allies were right into joining us in war against the people who don't live in pasadena, and we were really kicking their butts, in races, and cont. on page 4.

Play in these levels, as they dont want anyone drawing on them. so if the board doesnt have any kind of possible straight flush threat that can develop, you may just check call the flop then checkraise the turn. itll help your image if you win, as others wont be able to bet all over you later in the game, which is important. in late position, if the board is nonthreatening, you may even check it down to give others a free card and hope someone pairs on the turn. being check raised on the turn after checks on the flop is a really scary scenario for most players. ideas of two pair and trips usually develop in this situation, as many people automatically dont even begin to think of someone checking over pair on the flop. when you are shortstacked and make a play, players are more apt to call you down on your slow play. they will view your play as a desperation move and are far less likely to believe you. the rest of the general strategy for these levels is to just play tight, make a few moves when you can, but otherwise hunker down and take cover. level four and up now comes the fun part! now that the limit is 200 400 blinds 100 200 ; , you need to change gears very fast. half, if not more of the table should be gone now and more will follow quickly. in a shorthanded game, semistrong hands become strong and strong hands become monsters. a9s for example, a playable hand with 10 people becomes very playable with 4 people. k9o, weak in a 10person game, is very playable with 4 people. the same rules of joker poker in regard to position still.
