"That opening of the door which I had heard after I had returned to my room might mean that he had gone out to keep some clandestine appointment." Are you a word wiz? If you think our example sounds like it is a quotation from a book, you're right. We're not keeping it a secret, we just want you to guess who wrote that sentence using "clandestine." Which author do you think wrote the quotation? A. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in _The Hound of the Baskervilles_ B. Robert Louis Stevenson in _Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde_ C. Carolyn Keene in _The Picture Perfect Mystery_ D. Agatha Christie in _And Then There Were None_ Answer: You may be a detective in the making if you figured out that our quotation comes from the famous Sherlock Holmes story _The Hound of the Baskervilles_. A natural choice for mystery writers, "clandestine" is often used as a synonym of "secret" and "covert." All three words mean "done without attracting observation." "Clandestine," however, is commonly used for actions that involve secrecy kept for an evil, illicit, or unauthorized purpose. Often, "clandestine" emphasizes fear of being discovered in the act of doing something wrong. *************************************************************** Brought to you by Merriam-Webster's Word Central http://www.wordcentral.com *************************************************************** To subscribe to or unsubscribe from the Daily Buzzword, visit: http://www.startsampling.com/sm/wod/buzz_signup.html (c) 2003 by Merriam-Webster, Incorporated *mf mwb 070603 MURPHYCOPY@aol.com mf* ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 6 Jul 2003 11:19:06 -0400 (EDT) From: Catherine McKay Subject: 2 Joni-isms in top 10 female dog names - vljc This is weird and stupid but I'm trying to avoid doing stuff I have to do, in favour of things that are fun (and weird and stupid). I happened to spot a link on msn's Canadian website to "top ten dog names." On the top ten female dog names - they also give names of famous *people* (but not famous dogs) who have these names - are these: Coco (which is Joni's Jack Russell terrier's name - she's not mentioned, but Chanel is, of course) and Chelsea (no mention of the Joni song or buns here but Ms Clinton is mentioned). http://www.lifenetwork.ca/life_online/top_10/top10_6_2. asp ===== Catherine Toronto ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 6 Jul 2003 15:05:13 -0400 From: "PA.Net" Subject: It's 'madding' crowd From Mastertexts.com: An immediate success when it was first published in 1874, (Thomas Hardy's 'Far From The Madding Crowd' is) a 'pastoral tale' of the wilful and capricious Bathsheba Everdene, her three suitors - the faithful shepherd Gabriel Oak, the lonely widower Farmer Boldwood, and the dashing but faithless Sergeant Troy - and the tragic consequence of her eventual choice remains one of the most enduring and popular English novels.

Happy Independence weekend everyone. I spent the weekend in Asbury Park. Who would guess?!? LOL! Asbury Partners canceled the music festival at Convention Hall where I was supposed to see Lucinda Williams for lack of ticket sales. The Grand opening of the Cadillac Ranch Saloon is postponed for three more weeks. So instead I went to the Stone Pony both nights to see La Bamba, John Eddie, Gary US Bonds, Bobby Bandiera and South Side Johnny and The Asbury Jukes. My friend Tony Armato AKA Boccigalupe and his band Bocci and The Bad Boys played out on the beach yesterday afternoon with the 90 degree sun beating down in their faces...where they feckin' nuts or what?!? Asbury was mobbed yesterday. Everyone was expecting Bruce to show up, but he was vacationing with his family in Lake Placid, NY. I knew he wouldn't be there because Tony told me so, but I was there to see Southside and Gary anyways. yeah, right.... Gary set included: A New Song(can't remember name) Jole Blon New Orleans Rendezvous Daddy's Come Home Out Of Work Dedication Roll Of The Dice This Little Girl (Another new song) Quarter To Three SSJ: On The Beach Fade Away - was killer!

Ann was increible on vocals (better than ever) and Nancy was vibrant on that guitar. Go see them if you can. You will not be disappointed. Makes me want to scream out, " I am woman hear me roar!" They talked to the audience and to each other throughout evening and Ann said she has a 12 year-old and a 5 year -old and Nancy has twin boys to Cameron Crowe age 3. These chicks are in their early fifties, late forties!!!!! They sang a few new songs, both rock n roll and ballads. A rocking one was named "MOVE ON", their take on how to handle life. Another balld was called "Lost Angel", I think for 9-11. What a testament to the power of music. The entire audience was off their seats rocking to Straight On, Barracuda, Magic Man and Wild Child, etc. Happy Independence Day weekend to all, Janine ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 06 Jul 2003 21:47:48 -0500 From: "mia ortlieb" Subject: vh1 classics VH1 Classics is a channel on cable tv that plays classic music videos and concerts, and everyday they devote an "all-request hour" for the viewing audience. I just visited their website and clicked on the e-mail link for requesting Joni footage, but the e-mail was sent back to me as undeliverable, and I can't figure out what went wrong. Has anyone else out there ever tried putting in a request? It would be nice to see Joni get played more on the tube!

She's in great voice, but she isn't singing "The Trolley Song" or "The Man That Got Away." Instead, she's covering Joni Mitchell's "A Case of You," tearing it up on Freddie Mercury's "Bohemian Rhapsody" and stirring souls with Leonard Cohen's majestic "Hallelujah." -- From a review in the San Fran Chronicle by Edward Guthman http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/chronicle/archive/2003/06/26/DD13 2946.DTL Which makes me wonder, what no-longer-with-us singer would you like to see come back from the dead to perform a Joni song, and which song would it be?

I never know what they mean. I told you guys about the time I had a dream that my red toolbox needed to be replaced, then less than 24 hours later it was destroyed. I told you about the time a co-worker had recurring dreams about being compelled to be present on "moving day". We weren't friends or anything but he was freaked out about it so he told me about it. When we moved the company from one office building to another, he both caused me to asphyxiate, and removed the blockage. I have no idea what either one "means". They mess with my head just the same. Both times they were a precursor of a close call. - --------------------- Tonight I saw a movie called "Bruce Almighty" wherein Morgan Freeman as God, delivers a few "signs", literally. In turn Bruce delivers a few "signs", figuratively, to his girlfriend. I left the theatre. As I came out the stairwell, outside, into a courtyard, I heard words over the Public Address speaker. Just words without context: "didn't it feel good?" I was disoriented so I stopped. The same voice, this time with a backing track over the Public Address speaker: "Didn't it feeeeeeel go-oooooo - -ooooooo - -ooooooo - -oooooooD? - -didn't it feel good? - -didn't it feel good?" It was Joni's "Free Man in Paris" from 'COURT AND SPARK'. The scalp on the back of my neck went crazy. I smiled. Yeah, it's some kind of sign. Sure. Onward. I shuffled a few more steps then stopped again. It seemed like someone was trying to get my attention. You know what I mean. That feeling that you're missing something. Like an old friend from school is right beside you but you haven't noticed yet. It was hard to walk and the hair on the back of my neck was electrified again. I stood there in the courtyard waiting for rational thought to return. I decided to just wait it out. I looked at my feet. As Joni's song continued, I looked up. Ahead and to the left was a store and the sign read, "MITCHELL'S FISH MARKET" I blinked several times and my mouth just dropped open. Paging Dr. Sigmondegreen. Paging Jesus. Paging Fate. Paging Page. Paging Lamadoo- "You're life is ready, Mister L'Hommedieu. Mister L'Hommedieu? Your life is ready now, Mister L'Hommedieu."

It's a valid argument although I've personally settled the quandry by regarding them as equally great but totally different (or unique in that they are incomparable to most). I think that opinions like this one from Hoskins may come from the fact that Laura has been generally less feted than Joni and therefore has become the underdog that many wish to root for. Joni mostly exceeds Laura in lyrics and mostly equals Laura in music. Laura sometimes greatly exceeds Joni in performance and in the originality of her musical compositions. It's a push. ;-) Kakki ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 6 Jul 2003 22:43:17 -0700 From: "kakki" Subject: Re: my evening, njc Lama asked for mystical explanation: > It was Joni's "Free Man in Paris" from 'COURT AND SPARK'.
