Fred the Head weaves a collage of stories, some fictional, others disguised memories, together in search of mutual cohesion. The stories examine, to differing degrees, the lives of those who are obliquely connected to the title character of the piece, who holds them together like orbiting planets.The reader might consider where lost memories go, whether they can ever be found, and how they might be connected to all of us. Is this voodoo, metaphysics, fancy, or madness? Or, perhaps, an acknowledgement that we all are bound by invisible threads which only sometimes make themselves visible to us and the participants of these stories.Fred the Head indirectly examines the nature of fiction, the experiences that inform that fiction, and the power of those experiences to hold us and to follow us over time.

The story is about a body-brain named Tom, and a soul-consciousness-awareness thing that doesn't have a name. Tom's body-brain has the very latest sensors and articulation devices, such as fingers, arms, toes and legs. His sensors are tuned for a specific frame-rate and frequency bands. His body-brain can take samples and can analyze them in several ways including consuming the sample. However, a body-brain cannot determine meaning or purpose without a soul-consciousness-awareness thing. Tom's original soul-consciousness-awareness thing vanished after an accident caused a total loss of memory. Tom's body-brain needed a replacement in order to function in a reality of Gods and Demons where a society of body-brains like Tom, all had an advantage--a soul-consciousness-awareness thing. Finding a replacement wasn't going to be easy, what type of soul-consciousness-awareness thing would want a damaged body-brain? There was no choice but to grow one. Tom's body-brain had several near-death-experiences after the accident, with each NDE altering or replacing the soul-consciousness-awareness thing. With enough practice, body-brains become skilled and Tom's body-brain was getting really good at growing a soul-consciousness-awareness thing and playing music and creating art. It takes time and diligence to grow a soul-consciousness-awareness thing because there are several stages or levels of development that occur that require nourishment and nurturing. Tom's body-brain fine-tuned his recipe from his earlier efforts and created the perfect soul-consciousness-awareness thing to fulfill his desire to talk with a God of the first kind.

*Includes pictures of Astaire, Rogers, and other important people and scenes. *Includes their quotes about each other. *Includes a bibliography for further reading. Virtually all famous actors are regaled by the public, but even still, Fred Astaire occupies a privileged position in American pop culture. The specific films in which Astaire acted may not be especially famous in their own right - most people likely cannot recall the title of Top Hat (1935), his most decorated film - but Astaire's dancing prowess invariably creates a lasting impact on viewers. Instead of tying his fame to a single film, Astaire's genius lay in constructing his star persona around a specific set of iconographic imagery that has become embedded within American culture. Across his films, the recurring iconic images of the top hat, cane, and coat tails, as well as the image of Astaire dancing with Ginger Rogers, all constitute a timeless symbol for elegance that continues to captivate viewers who are unfamiliar with the plots of his films. There have been other film musical actors who were proficient dancers, Gene Kelly chief among them, but none were able to perform with the seamless elegance of Astaire, and none have been remembered nearly as well. Astaire's dancing numbers epitomized grace and gaiety, making it seem as though he was carefree, but this was hardly the case. While it is easy to imagine Astaire being raised in an aristocratic family, his working-class background was so blue collar that his family eventually relied on him and his sister as the primary breadwinners in the family. Rather than being born and raised with wealth in a large city, Astaire came from a working-class neighborhood in Omaha, Nebraska, a setting so antithetical to the world of dance that it quickly became clear that the family would need to relocate. If anything, Astaire's unglamorous origins further demonstrate that the magisterial dancing and the effortlessly elegant image accompanying it were products of Astaire's tireless work ethic and insistence on perfection. Considering the immense success of their films together, it is entirely understandable that Astaire and Rogers are joined at the hip in the eyes of the public. However, an appreciation for the Fred and Ginger musicals is only enhanced by knowledge of the personal backgrounds of the two stars. After all, the fact remains that Astaire and Rogers came from vastly different cultural backgrounds, and at the time that they met, their careers had unfolded in dissimilar ways. Astaire was a national celebrity for his skills as a stage performer (mainly with his sister Adele), while Rogers was raised in a more archetypal Midwestern setting and her professional success was reached entirely through cinema. While Astaire made a name for himself through his dancing, Rogers was more recognized for her singing talents. Clearly, it is still possible to discern fundamental differences between their professional talents, contrasts that would become more distinguishable once they ceased making films together. Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers: The Story of Hollywood's Most Famous Dancers profiles the lives and careers of both stars, as well as a comprehensive analysis of their movies together. Along with a bibliography and pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about Fred and Ginger like you never have before.

This Introduction & Overview to Civil Procedure is the result of over two decades of teaching the Civil Procedure course in law school, each year providing students with new and revised editions of this book as it has developed over time after receiving valuable student feedback each year on how to change, revise, and update the book for optimum understanding and study usage. Each year, the book was provided to students so that they would have a helpful summary and "Roadmap" to the Civil Procedure Course, not only as they were learning the material, but also to use as they prepared for final exams, and eventually the Bar Exam. The goal has been to make this book as concise and accessible as possible, yet still a very thorough, comprehensive, and rich learning source of Civil Procedure Law. Topics include: Judicial Structure (federal and state courts, trial, appellate, and supreme courts, the criminal-civil procedural law distinction); Personal Jurisdiction (long-arm statutes and minimum contacts); Subject Matter Jurisdiction (federal question, diversity, supplemental jurisdiction, removal); Venue; The Erie problem (choice of law and conflict of law); Pleadings (court papers and filings, complaint, answer, reply, motions to dismiss, amendments, default); Complex Litigation -- Joinder of Claims and Parties (claims, counterclaims, cross-claims, permissive and compulsory joinder, impleader, intervention, interpleader, class actions); Discovery (pretrial conferences, initial disclosures, scope of discovery, interrogatories, depositions, production of documents, admissions, medical exams, sanctions, "electronic-discovery"); Resolution without Trial (summary judgment, alternative dispute resolution) the Trial Process (trial and post-trial motions, directed verdict, JNOV, new trial); The Appeal Process (final, adverse ruling, interlocutory appeals, standards of review, timing); and Former Adjudication (claim and issue preclusion/res judicata and collateral estoppel). An excellent study and reference guide for law students and lawyers alike.
