Don’t lie though; we know you’re at least a little interested in knowing who will be part of the lucky ’13. At least we here at Flyby are, and we’re going to make it our business to stalk the class of ’13 like we stalk central administrators…and celebrities with twitter...
Though more than 30 million live Christmas trees are sold in the U.S. every year, almost all Christmas trees are raised on commercial farms--which makes them a renewable resource more akin to a stalk of corn than to a wild Douglas fir in the forest. When a yule tree is chopped down and sold, farms will plant another one in its place, making that part of the process carbon-neutral. The fossil fuel burned to transport the trees from farm to hearth is another matter. But given that most artificial trees are manufactured and shipped from China, fakes have...

The rest, including guitar savant Slash, departed years ago, presumably too intrigued by the Internet and other human advances to stay locked up in a recording studio with their famously controlling singer.

In keeping with its pervasive and carefully modulated echoing of Henry James - especially of his open-ended and slippery ghost stories - this is a book full of hauntings, specters, doubles, reflections and revenants. They stalk the two types of art or mimetic representation that the book brings into contact with each other: Tom's, in language; Nelly's, in images. They also mark the lives and memories of the characters and, crucially, the narrator's own discourse, for one of the things that de Kretser has undertaken...
