			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Written by F. Scott Fitzgerald</strong></p>
<p>This book is quite an interesting read, yet still disappointingly short.  It could have been developed into a very satisfying novel, because the story idea is quite captivating.</p>
<p>The story is humorous because it’s completely different and unusual compared to real life, because people don&#8217;t age backwards.  When Mr. Button went into the hospital and was asking people about his baby, it was funny because everyone he asked about his child had a terrified look on their faces, and each next person he talked to made him more and more anxious about his baby.  What was funnier, when he eventually got to see his baby, it turned out to be an old man.</p>
<p>Another thing I found funny was the fact that Roger Button was so in denial of the fact that his ‘child’ was not a baby, even to the point of asking a store clerk whether “the paint would come off the pink duck if the baby put it in his mouth”.</p>
<p>What was also ironic about Benjamin marrying a younger woman was that in actuality they were both the same age yet it looked like he was 50.</p>
<p>What was also funny was how the story showed how short people’s memories are – it’s ironic because, at first people were sad for the girl being married to a man of 50.  But as Benjamin’s age “decreased”, people were then sad for him being married to a woman of 50 (although in actuality they were the same age)!  They couldn’t even remember that a while ago, they were saying the exact opposite thing!</p>
<p>Also, as Benjamin got “younger” he didn&#8217;t like his wife Hildegard anymore because she got older, and as she got older Benjamin didn&#8217;t find her beautiful anymore.  Benjamin married Hildegard for her good looks, and Hildegard married Benjamin for his stability, and what happened was that Hildegard lost her good looks and Benjamin lost his stability, so their relationship didn’t work anymore.  Basically, as he got younger, she got older.</p>
<p><a title="readbookonline.net" href="http://www.readbookonline.net/read/690/10628/">Read the book online here</a> (just to let you know, there&#8217;s a few typos).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span>Hey everybody!!! I am really excited because I just got a brand new guitar pedal!!!</span></p>
<p>It is an MXR Phase 90 by Dunlop. (Or MXR, Dunlop makes MXR). MXR is a very nice and reliable brand, and the sound is AMAZING!!! This pedal retains all of the tone of your guitar and amp, and just adds this watery, warbley, crisp sounding effect. Plus I mix this pedal with my Palomino V16 Class A Tube Amp (With Groove Tubes) and the sound is like you hear off of some Van Halen and Pink Floyd recordings!</p>
<p>This pedal has only one knob, to adjust for speed, but seriously, this is all it needs! It is a very simple set up, in a very sturdy metal box. It is a very impressive stomp-box, and when you adjust the settings on your amp, and your guitar, you can make this thing really sing.</p>
<p>I seriously would recommend to any who play guitar (or bass, or vocals, because this pedal sounds amazing with those too!) to check it out and buy it! Its usual price is around $80, but I got it for a sweet deal for only $68! MXR is an awesome brand with pedals that retain the sound of your amp, and not make it sound like something it&#8217;s not. I will be getting many more MXR pedals in the future. IT ROCKS!!!</p>
<p>(Also, this pedal is great for solos, especially when you turn on distortion and reverb, and you can sound like &#8220;Aint Talkin&#8217; Bout Love&#8221; and &#8220;Eruption&#8221; and even great tones like &#8220;Speak to Me/Breathe&#8221; and &#8220;Wish You Were Here&#8221;) (Turn down the speed on this pedal and it makes chords awesome! Perfect for rhythm guitar as well!)</p>
<p>Check this pedal out at these websites!</p>

<p><a href="http://www.music123.com/MXR-M-101-Phase-90-Pedal-Refurb-151100-i1124431.Music123">http://www.music123.com/MXR-M-101-Phase-90-Pedal-Refurb-151100-i1124431.Music123</a> (I did not get the refurbished pedal off of this website for $69.99, I got my pedal in Guitar Center for a great deal of $68, and it wasn&#8217;t refurbished. It was brand new.)</p>
<p>Rock on!</p>
