First of all, thank you very much for buying
Diablo. We have worked hard to create a game that

To further that end, we have added some features
in Diablo that may not be apparent at first
glance. Diablo is a VERY different play experience

Soft Bodied Animals Early Cambrian Rocks Large

In Namibia, where the rock record is excellent,
Vendian fossils are followed immediately by
Cambrian fossils, and they may have overlapped
briefly in time. In Siberia, a whole suite of
small shelly fossils appears in the rocks as the
Cambrian period begins, together with sponges of
several different types. Most of the small shells
are tiny cones and tubes that we don't understand
properly, but at least some of them are complex
animals, including the first molluscs. Soon,
archaeocyathid sponges w...

Midsummer Nights Dream was written and produced
during a period of English history that was not
the most productive for farming. In fact it was a
time when nature was anything but typical. During
the years of 1594 97, England had undergone four
bad harvests in a row, an odd weather pattern
turned normally warm summer days into chilly
winter ones. The overwhelming number of peasant

At some point during your youth, your parents
probably took you aside and after several minutes
of blushing and throat-clearing gave you the
Reader's Digest version of the birds and bees.
(The folks apparently never realized that you had
learned about sex in far more detail several years
earlier from a friend in your preschool finger
painting class. ) But just what did we learn about
the actual birds and bees, not to mention the
thousands of other species of animals that share

creatures similar to vampires enough so that they

In the description of the Prioress found in the
prologue of The Canterbury Tales, Chaucer depicts
this woman as one who would appear to on-lookers
as being mannerly, becoming, and pleasant. The
phrase where Chaucer wrote She was a great
delight, and always tried, To imitate court ways,
and had her pride would indicate that not only did
the Prioress place a great deal of importance on
her outward appearance but that she also took
pride in it as we...

Fairest Creatures We Desire Increase Fairest Creatures We Desire Sonnet

FROM FAIREST CREATURES WE DESIRE INCREASE When God
saw his creatures, he commanded them to increase
and multiply. Shakespeare, in this sonnet,
suggests we have internalized the paradise command
in an aesthetic ized form: From fairest creatures
we desire increase. The sonnet begins, so to
speak, in the desire for an Eden where beauty's
rose will never die; but the fall quickly arrives
with decease (where we expect, by comparative with
increase, the milder decrease). Unless the young
man pities th...
