Quote of the Day: "I take a simple view of life. It is keep your eyes open and get on with it." — Laurence Sterne (11/24/1713 – 03/18/1768), Irish-English writer

Word of the Day: 

alchemical \al-KEM-ik-uhl\, adjective: 1. Pertaining to the transformation of something common, usually of little value, into a substance of great worth. 2. Relating to a form of chemistry and speculative philosophy practiced in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance concerned principally with discovering methods for transmuting baser metals into gold.

In context: “As the book reaches a crescendo, their three stories achieve an alchemical harmony, reminding us that each individual has the spirit to contend with tyranny, apathy, and the brutal circularity of history.” — Andrew Ervin, Extraordinary Renditions

(Alchemical is the adjectival form of alchemy, which derives from the Arabic al-kimiya and the Ancient Greek khemeioa. Both roughly translate as "to pour the juices," a figurative description of the goal of alchemy to transmute the essence of one substance into another.)
