Some places have romantic names, some places have exotic names, but in Mississippi, we have lots of places with unusual names. One such place got its name from a man who never really felt on top of the world.
It's on the road between Taylorsville and Laurel on one highway, Bay Springs and Ellisville on the other, in the northern end of Jones County.
According to researcher Jim Brieger in his book, Hometown Mississippi, the first name of the area was Woodbury.
I don't know a lot about Woodbury except when the railroad came through, the tracks were laid near it and not through it. So when they moved the post office to the tracks, the name of the village was changed to reflect a saying most folks in the area had picked up from one of the early citizens.
Maybe he had aches and pains, or just a melancholy disposition, but he never seemed to feel great. But then again he never seemed to feel rotten, either. Just sort'a so-so. And the townspeople decided that was an apt description for their part of the world.
It ain't Hawaii, but it ain't Death Valley, either. It's just soso. So the post office, when it relocated to the tracks officially adopted the name, the same name its know by today. Soso, Mississippi.
What's to see in soso? Well, it's one of those small towns like so many once thriving little country towns that is having to reinvent itself in light of modern day world and modern day shopping patterns that lean toward the big stores in the big towns.
There are old buildings that, no doubt, date back to a day and time when there was less entertainment to be had around the house. So there was more time for other interests.
The past is evidently revered at Soso. Old cemeteries reflect the care that is taken to keep up the graves of people, who in most cases, died so long ago that no one today could possibly have ever known them.
There is one celebrity of sorts buried in Soso, hymn writer J. B. Coats. You may have heard or even sung his, "Where Could I Go But to the Lord." Elvis recorded it.
The tall pines of the Mississippi piney woods first attracted attention to the area for logging. And when the pines were logged out, people stayed for the pastoral farmland. And for the tolerable surroundings that they found to be pretty okay, or, as they put it, soso.

---- — Once in awhile you read something that you know is 100 percent accurate; that's how I felt when I read Angie Colip's coverage on Cindy Ormes, of Cooper's Sport Bowl.
I had the pleasure of working indirectly with Cindy several years ago while hosting karaoke at Shouts Sports Pub of Cooper's Sport Bowl. If I ran into problems, or just needed help on something, I could always depend on Cindy, and she seemed to always be on the job. She is a true example of how you should manage your work-life. Cindy, to this day, is always pleasant and treats everyone the same. If you are doing your part, she will go out of her way to assist you. Congratulations, Cindy, on your award; you truly deserve it.Judy C. Miller

Internet drugs warning after Winterbourne Abbas Olympic hopeful's death (From Dorset Echo)

Internet drugs warning after Winterbourne Abbas Olympic hopeful's death
10:03am Friday 12th October 2012 in News By Harry Hogger, Dorchester reporter
A CORONER has warned of the dangers of buying drugs over the internet at an inquest into the death of a keen diver and sportsman at his home near Dorchester.
The mother of 25-year-old Jake Holden found him dead at his home in Winterbourne Abbas on May 9.
The electrical engineer had won a shooting silver medal for Britain at the age of 13 in an international competition in France and had been tipped as a future Olympic hopeful.
Mr Holden was also a member of the Old Harbour Dive Centre in Weymouth.
The inquest at County Hall in Dorchester was told that a post mortem and toxicology analysis indicated he had taken heroin prior to his death while there were traces of a number of other drugs in his system.
PC Gillian Cregg, who attended the address on the day his body was discovered, said in a statement that Mr Holden's girlfriend had told her he bought tablets over the internet to try and help him relax and sleep.
She said Mr Holden's mother Barbara had told her how he had taken his dinner to his room at around 8.30pm the previous evening and she had heard him snoring in the night.
Mrs Holden said she had shouted goodbye as she left for work but did not get a response and, after attempting to call him a couple of times during the day without reply, she returned home to find him dead in his bed.
Pathologist Dr Mark Deverell said the cause of death was pulmonary oedema due to opiate toxicity.
West Dorset Coroner Michael Johnston said: "Jake Holden had obviously bought a variety of drugs either over the counter or over the internet and from somewhere he had also got heroin.
"He told his girlfriend he was doing this to help him sleep and I have to say it is really dangerous to play around with drugs you buy over the internet because you don't know what's in them nor do you know the levels that they would be prescribed by a doctor."
Mr Johnston urged anyone thinking of obtaining drugs to help them sleep to go and see their doctor.
He recorded a verdict of accidental death.
Mr Johnston said: "I believe what has happened is a tragic accident and that's the verdict I'm going to return."

Mamma Media wrote:Could it possibly be due to the fact that the inquest has just been delivered in court, as is the case after a death in unusual circumstances added to the fact that he was an Olympic "hopeful".
I would like to say that I don't know why this has to put in the echo as front page news months after this persons death.
It seems very insensitive, think of his mother.
RIP jake.
I realise that it may seem insensitive to his mother, but she has obviously just sat through the inquest too, so I doubt the report contains anything she hasn't recently heard there. Maybe she will see that the coroner's front page warning may act as a deterrent, thus preventing other parents from being in the same situation as her own.

Is it me or is everything rubbish? says...
The article states that heroin was found in his system- not sure if you can buy this online?
A truly tragic story- I guess that he felt that he needed the drugs to cope with life.

Low Blood Sugar: Emergency Care
Topic Overview
This information is for people who may help you if you are too weak or confused to treat your own low blood sugar from diabetes or some other health condition that can cause low blood sugar.

Traveler/kid friendly and so homey!
You know how there are some "rentals" you walk into and it feels like a rental...well this place isn't one of those! Honestly, if I could have shrunk the house, packed it up, taken it home with me and inflated it when we got back to Illinois, I would have. Of course, the views would have been back in Colorado:) Easily sleeps up to 12, wonderful kitchen/ eating area, nice bathrooms, 2 separate living room areas (one w/ TV and one w/out TV) and like I said so homey! If you are not looking for the Ritz-Carlton, but just a very cozy, relaxing, nice, fun, clean property to stay at, you will not be disappointed! By the way, I search vrbo all the time, and the price for this place for what you get is awesome..other places will cost more and probably will not be this nice or this spacious. Not sure if this is addressed in any other reviews, but we were glad to have a 4-wheel drive vehicle going up and down to the cabin. if you decide to stay here, you would be glad to have one too! So thankful to the Jeffers for sharing this amazing place with us!

President Barack Obama just signed into law a bill that may help veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan who were exposed to a potential health risk - pits of burning waste.
A Leavenworth, KS, woman blames exposure to that toxic smoke for her husband's death and is speaking out about the danger he and other veterans faced.
With more than three decades of service to the U.S. Army, Command Sgt. Maj. James Hubbard certainly earned his place in Leavenworth National Cemetery. But proving the reasons he is now buried there were caused by his service turned out to be much more difficult.
"This is his favorite photo that he had," his wife Katie Hubbard said.
James Hubbard loved to serve - it could be seen in the care he took with his uniform, even using a ruler to place his ribbons.
"Whatever the military code said it was it was, he would be. If it's a quarter of an inch, it's a quarter of an inch," Katie Hubbard said.
But his 36 years of service took their toll.
"You can see how it wore on him being over there as long as he was," his wife said as she looked at a photo album showing him from the start of his deployment to the end.
She said he was full of life at the beginning and she noticed how haggard he became towards the end.
It wasn't a sniper or a roadside bomb for James Hubbard - death came from a burn pit that military bases use to dispose of waste in place of a garbage truck.
"Sometimes there's body parts put in there, there's human waste, there's sometimes chemicals," Katie Hubbard said.
James Hubbard breathed the air from the pits in Iraq, but it took years for doctors to tie the exposure to his growing fatigue and strange blood work. Things took a dramatic turn in 2008.
"The doctor came in the room and he said, 'well, you have cancer,'" his wife said.
He had a form of leukemia that the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs said was affecting more and more service members returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, caused by exposure to burn pits and depleted uranium.
James Hubbard lost his fight with cancer six months ago, but it was just the start for his wife.
"He squeezed my hand really tight," she said. "For the longest time nobody wanted to do anything. It's burn pits, it's cancer - nobody wants to talk about it."
Then, after years of lobbying, Obama last week approved a new burn pit registry to track those exposed and get them treatment faster.
"This legislation is huge for so many people, it could potentially help and prevent deaths of millions of people," Katie Hubbard said.
Though it was too late for her husband, Katie Hubbard can still keep his uniform in perfect shape, keep flowers at his grave and help others to understand that, no matter how a soldier goes, they still mean something to someone.
Katie Hubbard also hasn't received most surviving spouse benefits since her husband was a reservist, not on active duty, when he died. She said it's not about money, but about honoring his service.

Poured from a bomber into a shaker. A normal pour produces a creamy white head of about an inch. The head reduces but sticks around. The beer is quite hazy with moderately high carbonation, and is a distinctly pale lemon-yellow color. It looks like a shandy.
Plenty of floral hops on the nose, with a touch of hemp(?), with a bit of grapefruit and lemon on the palate against a backbone of rather sweet, pale malt. Maybe just a little pine. Quite light and refreshing despite a rather strong ABV.
If a person was so inclined, you could make a lemonade shandy out of this one and I bet it would be awesome. Quite a good beverage in warm weather.

yeah boi, poured this beer into a big mtn brew fest mini glass. Anywaaaays, it drools a pale yellow and nice white lacing . Straw yellow with a touch a cloudiness. Aromas are hops and bright, sweet citrus fruit. Quite a nice softness to the spices that are detectable on the nose. Huge hop mouth, bold obnoxiously bright fruit and kind of a fruit-perfume mouth. Nice brew, the mouthfeel is high level carbonation... off-dry complementing the fruit, i feel. Quite a quenching brew. i would love to have this as my drink of choice on my yacht in the mediterranean, soaking up the sun.

Enjoyed 19 June 2012, reviewed from notes. Thanks to RWNewhouse and EricCioe for the bottle. I'm having a hard time determining if this is the Amarillo or the CTZ version, but I'm fairly confident it's the Amarillo.
Pours pale yellow with a touch of orange. Almost completely clear, just a bit of haze. An eruptive, massive, fragrant white head forces me to stop the pour. It gradually subsides, cratering and leaving gobs of foam sticking to the glass. Wow. Almost perfect, but it just has too much head.
Smell is dominated by herbal hops, with slight spice and a sweet citrus burst.
Taste is quite good. Medium-thin bready malts that provide just enough base. Slightly spicy, like a saison, with a mild bitter finish.
Medium-light body, plenty of carbonation. Rather dry finish.
This beer works well for me. Nothing about it stands out, but I really like it. It's like a cross between a pale ale and a saison, with hints of spice backing a hop-forward pale ale.

picked up while in Whitefish, Montana (from notes)
A - Hazy bright golden, thumb of white head retained reasonably well
S - Light mandarin and floral, toasty grains and lightly spicy
T - Resiny cascade hops with citrus and floral accents, light grainy malt support, a very pleasant and tasty hop mix
M - Medium body, juicy start that turns to an oily bitter finish
O - A classic NW hopped pale ale, the hops starts relatively relaxed and build throughout the drinking experience, a very nice offering, I will be keeping my eye out for more from this brewer on my next trip to the Pacific NW

A- Big fluffy head, long lasting retention, fantastic lacing that isn't complete but enjoyable. Creamy head with very, very tiny bubbles when identified. Much, much carbonation. The streams are many and rapid. Clear to light and cloudy without, murky honey body.
S- Light floral and grassy hop notes, maybe citrus. Barest lemon zest and pulp nature to it. Very simple and light but exactly what I'm looking for.
T- Clean, light sweetness. Some faint bitterness creeps in just ever so gently. Very refreshing amount of bitterness. Also has what may be grassy hop flavor, vegetal. Finish is bits of pine needles and sucrose. Delightful.
M- Grainy, full bodied, low stickiness, medium to light bittering the cheeks and tongue. That grainyness is disappointing though. Its almost as if this is a cousin to sand water. Not as oppressive, but you think they might be related. Very crisp opening hid the grainy nature for a while before I realized what it was.
Without that grainyness this beer was good, almost great.

4.08/5 rDev +10.6%
This pours a hazy, particulate-laden orange-peel orange with one of the frothier heads I've ever seen that stuck around forever. On the nose there is a pungent, citric-centric hop note that dominates a base of pale malt. It's a very vivid nose. In the mouth, the pale malt sweetens up the bitterness I was expecting and turns the body into a rather soft affair, sort of a strange cognitive disconnect for me. But the flavors are good, with the amarillo fading back perhaps a bit too much for my taste, but then it's important to remember this is an APA rather than an IPA. The finish is medium long and rather soft, like the body was, with orange peel hanging on longest.
Overall, this beer far exceeded my expectations. Having just moved out here, I've been told that Bitter Root beers aren't worth it. But I cannot resist a single hop pale. I like what they did here. I'd be curious to see what a similar but slightly bigger beer would turn out like. Highly recommended from a totally unknown brewery.

22oz bottle, from a grocery in Bozeman. Part of the NW Yoga and Beer tour, 2011...
This beer pours a cloudy, opaque, sediment-infested, burnished golden hue, with three healthy fingers of chunky, rocky off-white head, which leaves a panorama of webbed high-hanging lace around the glass in its rather long-awaited dissipation. It smells of bitter pine and citrus pith, and a light bready, cracker malt. The taste is more restrained bitter grassy, earthy, leafy hops, and a nice bready malt to keep things all on the level. The carbonation is mild enough to be a non-issue, the body a lower-middle class medium-weight, and pretty damned smooth. It finishes off-dry, clean, and nicely hoppy from a persistent, yet waning, single minded bitterness.
Lacking complexity, to be sure, but still a nice balanced hoppy pale ale affair. Nothing stands too far out, and by extension, nothing gets chopped off - this can be a good thing when you just want a decent damned drink!

A: Pours a misty golden tan ale with a single finger of off-white head which slowly dissipates to a thick quilt of the same. Domineering lacing, thick like a beard.
S: Clean, grassy, soap suds, citrusy lemons. underlying grain bill is subtle. Nice beer. Delicious beer.
T: Relatively bitter ale with sweet hopping flavors. Good, grassy flavors. Decent with well balanced tones. The hop schedule allows for good appreciation of the capacity for the hop.
M: Medium with medium to high carb. Slick finish.
O: Well done beer. Fun ale with capacity to allow for sessionability. I like this beer.

I found this out while talking with them at the Blues, Brews, and BBQ festival in Salmon, Idaho. The website list the name of the hop strain used as CTZ.
Appearance: Lots of white head. The brew itself is a light tan and somewhat opaque but not much due to the lack of filtering. Laces exceptionally.
Smell: Fruity and a tad bit earthy hop smell. The nose is pretty big on this one and quite nice too!
Taste: Follows the smell almost to a T. Very delicious. The hop strain is apparently a cross strain.
Mouthfeel: Smooth with a good amount of carbonation.
Drinkability: I went back to this brew all night long at the BBB festival in Salmon. Was definitely better than anything else the other breweries had to offer. Would seek out again. The ABV according to the brewers website is apparently 6.33% ABV.

We hit Hamilton with a goal of getting some good food and a beer or two.. Bitter Root had pretty much all of their bottled selection on tap, so I immediately turned my attention to the Brewer's Whim chalkboard... The single hop caught my eye almost immediately.. Poured into a standard shaker pint.
Good head and lace atop a hazy pale golden brew.. good lace for the entire glass...
Nose is bunches of citric hops with a great fruity hoppiness to it.. good pale maltiness.
Flavor has a fruity minerally hoppiness to it.. reminds me of the Flintstone vitamins I had as a kid.. citrus and some background pineapple.. the maltiness is there to pull the hops to the middle of the palate.. Good body and expected carbonation.. Out of the gate, this reminded me of a AIPA.. but as it warms, I realize there is not enough bitterness for an IPA.. Very drinkable and I am digging the Amarillo hops.. I swear I could pick them out of a line-up.. I like the experimentation the brewers are doing.. The huckleberry beer was pretty damn good.. and that was my next pint. :-)
Bitter Root should be a staple stop for anyone within 50 miles of Missoula.. the menu is very nice and the beer is always solid.. I just want to spend more time there than my alotted 3 pints.

So I decided to try this place out. I had seen it while at the nearby Crate & Barrel getting a snifter for bier.
The selection really isn't that diverse, and not that impressive (Compared to Binny's Beverage Depot in Chicagoland). BUT...I bought some CAPITAL Blonde Doppelbock!!!!
Words cannot describe how amazed I was to find this in Tucson.
I am native to an area under the cheese curtain, and have become accustomed to Capital's sublime lagers.
I have not found ANY craft bier out of Wisconsin save for Leinenkugel out here, and that's not saying much.
Finding this bier here was a refreshing explosion to my parched, lager-deprived soul.
It was a bit $$$ ($3), but I am used to buying it locally.
Regardless, this was truly a find of note, and I will be returning again periodically to look for such finds (and/or to buy up their last pack of Capital).
If you're in the area, not a bad stop for bier. Worth a look if in the mood for something different. If I knew they were going to regularly stock Capital, I would go out of my way monthly to shop for bier.
Otherwise an average selection of brews in a refridgerated aisle where one can make their own 6-packs.
Service in the rest of the store seemed attentive...

Q---- Great store. Plain and simple. Then again it is the Foothills of Tucson and it is in a high end mall. There is a Tiffany's so that figures and some good places to eat in La Encantada. Great supermarket with good food and a excellent deli.
S--- For wine... Excellent. Beer?? Not so much. Helpful staff but far more knowledgable on wine and food.
S--- Average beer selection. Basically one chilled isle with a mix of US and imports. Some good US stuff. IE Stone, Anderson Valley, Steamworks but then some very average stuff as well.
V--- The negative. It is the Foothills, so it is pricy. Almost .50 cents to a dollar more expensive than other places per bottle. Go to the Safeway on Swan and Sunrise for cheaper beers and at times a better selection. Lived off of Bridgeport IPA for $6.00 a 6 pack at Safeway for a month. The deli and sushi bar makes it worth while.

Visited mid May 2008. Thank you fellow BeerAdvocates for the recommendation. In Tuscon for a couple of days for a wedding and wanted to make sure I was able to sample some of the local craft beers and other beers I can't get in Northern California.
This place is exactly like a Whole Foods in California: very ritzy, fabulous looking food/items at (mostly) ridiculous prices. The beer prices, however, were very reasonable by California standards. Nimbus brewery singles at 1.49. Most microbrews under 2$ a single.
Great selection of local stuff and beers from Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado (not just New Belgium) and a lot of Dogfish Head. Exactly what I wanted.

Visit: November 21, 2007
We were in Tucson visiting family for the Thanksgiving holiday. My wife wanted to bring a nice bottle of wine to dinner, so we were told by her cousin that AJ's was the place to go.
It being the afternoon before the Big Day, the store was quite a madhouse. Charging ahead through the bustling crowds, my wife and her mother dove into the extensive wine/booze department; I sidestepped to the next aisle, where the lengthy beer coolers were almost completely deserted.
They shouldn't have been...terrific selection, far more variety than I'd expected (unfair, I might add - apologies to AZ BA's reading this...). Nice coverage of the European continent, with many Belgians, Germans and UKs to select from. I stayed to the left end of aisle, where the Rocky Mountain/SW beers are kept. Picked up several from local brewer Nimbus and from Santa Fe (that's two new states for me right there); also grabbed some from CO brewers Ska and Breckenridge. The 'score' was a nice caged/corked of the De Proef/Port Tomme Arthur Signature Ale. All things I could never get in Oregon, so I am very happy.
A nice woman from the department with a fair knowledge of the beers helped me choose one or two, grabbed me a couple empty carriers (we got 11 bottles total...and I would have liked more), answered a few questions and chatted about the NW and her trip to OR over the summer.
Prices to me seem quite fair, especially for a 'high-end' specialty store. I liked the pricing on individual bottles especially, not the 'flat-pricing' I've seen elsewhere.
Could have stayed much longer than the 10 minutes we could spare, but we had to leave...family first! At least I now know where to shop on the next visit.

A decent selection of good beers here, but despite its "specialty/gourmet" grocery store status, I haven't talked to anyone there yet that knows their beers or whiskys. Call me crazy, but I think if you're going to try to have have good selections in those departments, you should staff them with someone who knows an ESB from an IPA and a Speyside from an Islay. I rarely visit the place, as its a little out of my way and I don't really like the shopping center its in, so I guess the best thing about AJ's is that I haven't gotten any beer there that tasted mishandled in any way.

AJ's is one of my favorite places in Tucson to find top of the line brews. It dosn't have quite the selection Plaza liquors does, but it comes close and you can also make your own six pack with most everything there. Sometimes they also carry some unique brews that you don't find anywhere else. Unfortunately, if they don't sell much of something they tend to not order any more of it. Their prices aren't unreasonable, but they might be a little higher than most other shops. Overall, it's a great place for beer, especially if you live up in the foothills where it's right nearby.

Quality: well anyone who has been into an AJ's knows that quality is high on the list. this is the highest end store i have been into in Tucson
Service: I know that this isnt a beer specalty store but the person i spoke to didnt seem to know much about the section so i just picked a nice assortment myself.
Selection: as far as top notch beers go this is the place. amazing how many hard to get beers this place has.
Value: for selection you will pay. i noticed that the beers i had seen in other establishments were $1 even $2 more here. an example of this was the Chimay.

*Revisited May 6, 2006*
Selection is still good, thought other stores in town are better. Quality is fine, nothing there has been bad in the times I have gone back. However, prices have seemingly gone up, or I just know more about what the prices for beer in Tucson should be. Besides some of the more regional craft beers, like New Belgium, which seem to all fall at between $1.19 and $1.59 per bottle, everything else is at least $.50 to $1.00 more than most other stores in town. Especially the larger, more expensive bottles, which can be several dollars more.
In this case, I don't think you are paying more for selection. There are cheaper stores in town with far better variety and quality on-par or better. Rather, you are paying more because of the store you are in. AJ's serves, or at least purports to serve, a fairly wealthy clientele. This means they are likely to charge more because 1) they can as their patrons will pay it and 2) they want to project the image of a high-dollar establishment.
AJ's Fine Foods of Tucson is set in one of the more picturesque areas of town. Located as the centerpiece of La Encantada shopping center in the foothills area of town, it's a bit of a trip for me to make, but it's usually rewarding.
First off let me note the setting: beautiful mountain and valley views spread out in all directions as the store sits atop a relative highground for the area. The surrouding shopping center is nothing if not high-dollar. $200 dollar blue jeans and gold-plated kitchen supplies are abundant in the many designer stores. A few larger chains like Pottery Barn and Crate & Barrel offer more reasonable prices, and C & B has a good selection of glasses that go well with differing beer varieties. I recently picked up four 24oz Weizen glasses for $8. Several upscale restaurants are scattered around.
Now to AJ's itself. It's a high-end food store first, an eatery second, a wine shop third, and beer store a close fourth. Quality fruits and vegetables, good meat and fish market, expensive cheeses and smaller, more expensive brands of foodstuffs abound. They have a large deli, a full service sit down sushi bar, and an ourdoor patio grill area that serves a really good burger, cooked to order. Nice views can be had while eating outside. A large wine section is well stocked and seems to be staffed with at least two sommeliers on staff at all times to help.
Finally, to the beer! A long, open front cooler holds probably 200 or so varieties of beer. A few six packs (mostly the BMC's), but mostly singles in a variety of sizes. It seems to be organized by region and variety, with the lighter Euro Lagers and Pilseners starting on the far right, ending with the Stone and Rogue bombers on the far left. The beer is kept a little colder than need be, but not frozen. It's lit quite brightly with flourescent lights, a mistake in my opinion, but it's mainly the top row, which were mostly brown bottled, so it might be a passable offense. If you're buying a green or clear bottle, just reach a bit further back to avoid the chance of a skunky front-rower.
I had a few questions that one of the wine sommeliers was willing to help with, and he did seem knowledable enough about the stock on hand. However, he'd never heard of a number of the beers I inquired about, so it'd be better to come prepared as a beer shopper. Very curtious staff, all in all.
Overall, a nice store, and nice place for lunch, and a good place to get beer. The prices are quite good too, with Stone AB and IPA and others in 22oz bottles for $2.50. Lots of good 12oz bottles linger in the $1.25 range. Check it out if you're in the area or have another reason to visit La Encantada.

AJ's has a fairly large selection of single bottles (150-200) and a smaller selection of six packs, twelve packs, and cases. They have a decent selection of North American beers, with the US west-coast reperesented best. They also have a number of imports but tend to stock German and Belugn beers, overlooking a lot of UK brews. They are not going to have any real raraties but you are not going to have a hard time finding something you want to drink either. All beer is refrigerated, so the optio of buying warm does not exist. Keep in mind that you will pay, the pricing at AJ's is quite dear.

Texts are listed chronologically, with multiple works by the same author grouped together in order of appearance. I've tried to give publication information for the first appearance of each book, but may not have found both American and British editions. If you don't find something where you expect to see it, try searching for part of the title or the author's name.
Author names are listed in bold according to the Library of Congress' authority controlled form of the name, where one is available. Unauthorized forms, or additional information not in the authorized form, appear without boldface. Where the title page shows that a work appeared under a variant form or pseudonym, that original attribution follows the title: e.g. "A Vision of our Country in the Year 1900" by "Miss J. A. E." Where a work was co-written with a man, it is listed under the woman's name first, and the attribution following the title indicates the original publication order of the authors.
I have listed several works which often appear in bibliographies of women's works, but whose attribution to a women is questionable, using a grey font to distinguish them from the rest of the list, and indicating their probable authorship. I've also grey-fonted male co-authors, to make it easier to distinguish between actual male authors and women's pseudonyms.
I've concentrated on pre-1923 works which are no longer under copyright. In 1923 U.S. copyright renewal requirements take effect. Works by women become more frequent after 1923, but are also less likely to be in the public domain and available online due to copyright status. I've listed a few later works whose copyright was not renewed or for which it was possible to find an online edition. After 1923, I've made no effort to create a comprehensive list.
I would like to thank L.Timmel Duchamp for Science Fiction and Utopias by Women, 1818-1949: A Chronology, which inspired me to start this list. I found additional useful information in

Legal Ethics
Does 'milquetoast' ethics report ignore 'schizophrenic message' sent by judicial license plates?
Posted May 9, 2013 11:25 AM CDT
By Martha Neil
Responding to concerns that the state's judges could be getting a pass on traffic enforcement by trumpeting their status via special license plates, the New York Commission on Judicial Conduct starting looking into the issue last year.
In a Tuesday report (PDF), the commission says that displaying a license plate on a personal vehicle that identifies the registered owner as a judge is not a per se violation of legal ethics rules that prohibit an appearance of impropriety, and is hence a matter of personal choice.
It is, however, a violation of ethics rules for a judge to affirmatively seek to avoid the consequences of a traffic stop by asserting his status as a jurist.
As has been pointed out, judicial license plates can be useful in determining who is, and is not, entitled to use designated courthouse parking spots, but might also pose a security risk by making judges' vehicles readily identifiable to disgruntled litigants. For that reason, the report says that removable dashboard placards should be made available to judges who prefer them, noting that display of such a placard when the judge is not using his or her car for official business could result in discipline.
In a dissenting statement, Richard D. Emery calls the "milquetoast" report an "exercise in evasion" that is "ducking" the "schizophrenic message" created by judicial license plates.
"We have repeatedly disciplined judges for requesting, or even appearing to request, special treatment based on their judicial status," he writes, and yet "at the same time, by authorizing the issuance of special license plates to "public officers" and others ... the legislature has implicitly permitted judges, as public officers, to have license plates that ... flaunt their judicial status on their personal vehicles wherever they go."
While many judges undoubtedly display the special plates as a point of pride rather than intending to take personal advantage of their status, there is, as far as the application of legal ethics rules is concerned, no real difference between driving a vehicle with judicial license plates and an individual voluntarily identifying his or her judicial status to a police officer in a traffic stop, Emery writes.
Describing what he calls an "open and notorious" policy in jurisdictions throughout the state of not enforcing against judges traffic laws that apply to other citizens, Emery says the fact of the judicial license plates being displayed, whatever the intent of the car owner may or may not be, encourages police officers to give jurists a pass when enforcing traffic laws.
By failing to address directly that clear issue, he contends, "the commission I hold dear has reneged on its commitment, and its duty, to confront a thorny ethical question and provide a meaningful, reasoned response."

The images of homes devastated by hurricanes, tornadoes and severe wind storms is heartbreaking.
It's just as tragic to see entire businesses and communities leveled within minutes in the wake of a damaging storm.
In July 2012, a storm completely damaged the Claysville Snack Bar in Marshall County, Alabama. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but the owner wasn't sure if she would be able to rebuild.
"You know, we'll just have to see how it goes," Shirley Eaves said.
Meteorologists with the National Weather Service said the diner was hit by a microburst, a powerful downdraft of sinking air that occurs in thunderstorms. The wind damage is similar to that of a tornado.
Weeks later, powerful winds leveled yet another diner.
This time it was in Richburg, South Carolina, but this damage was part of scientific study conducted by the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety inside the organization's six-story, one-of-a-kind lab.
"No matter where you live in this country, wind is a problem," IBHS CEO and President Julie Rochman told America Now. "It's a different kind of wind, but it's wind."
The IBHS conducted the wind test with two similar-looking commercial buildings constructed of concrete blocks and steel.
The diner painted yellow was built with typical construction techniques used in nearly every part of the country. The diner painted green was built using a more advanced design to make it stronger and more resilient to the wind.
"We are trying to spotlight the difference between doing things the right way versus the regular way," Rochman said.
More than 100 fans are located along one side of the massive test lab facility. When turned on, they replicate the force of mother nature's most violent winds.
A 73 mile-per-hour wind gust ripped off a portion of the roof on the yellow diner like a peeled banana.
When the winds hit 100 miles-per-hour, the roll-up garage door buckled. Wind blew through the diner sucking inventory out of an opening in the wall.
The windows shattered after two-by-fours were fired from a cannon simulating tree branches being hurled through the air.
At 110 miles-per-hour, a small, jagged crack formed near the roof line.
Within seconds, larger cracks appeared in the masonry when the wind intensified to 136 miles per hour, causing one wall of the yellow building to crumble.
The green building, or the one built utilizing improved construction techniques, had hardly any visible signs of damage.
That's because better screws, steel cleats, flashing and roof cover material were used on the stronger building's roof.
The air conditioning unit or any other equipment on the roof was anchored to the steel frame.
The wind-rated doors stayed in place better than roll-up doors on the yellow building which simply popped off their tracks.
The walls in the stronger building were reinforced with vertical steel rods every eight feet apart. The common building, however, only had steel reinforcement on the corners.
Experts say if your business is in an older building, you should have an engineer inspect the facility to determine what type of reinforcements can be made to the structure.
If you are thinking about relocating your business into another building, experts say you should find out how the structure was constructed before signing a lease or purchasing the property.
"Take the time to ask questions about how the building is put together," Rochman says. "How it's tied together is going to make all the difference in the world when a wind storm comes along and tries to tear it apart."
It cost less than five percent more to build a stronger building, as compared to the construction cost of a common practice building. In many areas of the country, five percent is less than the cost of sales tax.

I have this for a year until I finished it.. I use it sparringly since this is soooo expensive 😭💔 I bought this because I've heard so many good things about this serum. Some beauty bloggers even told us it's their Holy Grail product. And it turns out it makes my skin looks radiant and it evens out my complexion. Sure it doesn't happen overnight, but sometimes I feel like it does 😂 When i got pimple, i just dabbed it on, and voila tomorrow it's already gone. The only downside is the price tag. I'm still saving up for my next bottle.

Despite still having the occasional breakout, I'm getting to the age where I'm starting to notice fine lines. I tried this product hoping to improve the overall appearance of my skin, but it didn't work for me. This felt like a gel mask on my face, one I couldn't peel off. It was uncomfortable and the sensation would wake me up. Each morning after I used it, I would have little clogged pores and inflamed whiteheads.
I returned this product after using it for 2 weeks. It's too expensive to hang onto it if it doesn't work!
Just a bunch of hype.

I bought this during a trip to Hong Kong and Japan in March after reading good reviews on MUA. I used it in both places and had no adverse reactions, and very good results! It was good to test it in a humid city (HK) and then dry, chilly, windy, and snowy weather (various locations in Japan) and it didn't let me down in either locations! 2 weeks later I'm using it in Brisbane, Australia, which gets humid and as my skin was fine in the cold in Japan, I am confident it will be fine in our winter here. My skin was radiant, soft and supple within days of using this and I'm still seeing improvements in my appearance from applying this nightly. I've gone so far as to apply this to my neck and décolletage... it's using more, I know... I bought this in a duo pack with the Advanced Night Repair Eye and I'm surprised with that too. I was impressed with both that I bought a second duo pack when I left HK! I love this serum and highly recommend this, it is pricey but worth it. Your skin will thank you!
I probably should add that 2 weeks isn't long enough but I'm happy so far. I have combination skin, more on the oily side and it hasn't made my skin oiler. I'm also prone to pimples (usually before my period) so I've yet to see how that goes... but it hasn't made me break out in pimples either. So far so good...

Such an overpriced product but here is my review.
Two weeks in: yes, my pores are significantly smaller in appearance. I have very large pores.
I look rested. I am an exhausted student and this has made me look less puffy, less jowlely (if that's a word) and overall more refreshed looking.
Prior to this I used 'When Hope Is Not Enough" by Philosophy and it didn't perform like this. So yes, this does something.
With that said, Paula's Choice has a new vitamin C serum that is half the cost and apparently (according to the reviews) performs just as well. That is my next purchase. Ill compare the two & let MUA know.

My T-Zone (Nose and Forehead) where very badly covered with blackhead and large pores. After using Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Recovery Complex II for about two weeks mornings and night my T-Zone looks better, the pores are smaller and the blackheads are almost gone. The skin overall looks refined and toned. It also reduced redness which i have after swimming in chlorine water.
Overall: Also perfect for Men with T-Zone problems and redness on a combined skin.

[For reference, my skin type is dry, sensitive and acne-prone] Unfortunately this made me break out in cystic acne which only happens when I have a bad reaction to a product. I should note that I was using the old formula without the inclusion of hydrolyzed algin, though since algin is highly comedogenic I can't imagine faring any better with the updated version. The formula itself is quite strange since it's not really smooth enough to be a serum and is too thick to mimic a toner; it's quite watery but leaves a sticky film on the skin that never really goes away. Thankfully I received it as a present because this stuff is expensive and I would hate to have wasted that much money!

I luuuvvvvv this product sooo much... It is a miracle in a bottle. I am 40 something and have over sensitive / combination skin. Even if I CAN afford a trip to the beauty salon, I simply just do not have the time. The first time I tried Night Repair was about 4 yrs ago, ( a free sample). I applied a couple of drops to my face including my forehead and so forth. A couple of small drops on my neckline. It did not go on greasy or heavy. I noticed that right away. NO perfumey odor. In fact it is almost odorless. The following morning my skin felt a little tighter and my breakouts seemed less visible. At the end of the day I could hardly wait to get home so I can wash n reapply. LOL, a love affair with a beauty serum. I started getting compliments from co workers and friends. I dont even wear my makeup everyday now. I work in a department store, and once a customer told me her age, and when I told her that we are the same age, her mouth fell open. She said," You look so younnngg." I also apply it after an over exposure to the sun. So amazzzzing...Please please I pray Estee Lauder never discontinues this product. It is the best...

Andy Whing positive over Oxford United return despite third operation

ANDY Whing remains upbeat about returning to fitness in early March despite having a third operation in six weeks.
The midfielder had surgery in December to re-attach a tendon in his groin to the bone.
It went well, but the wound needed clearing out earlier this month.
That failed to completely solve the problem, so a plastic surgeon was needed to attach a vacuum pump.
Whing admits having a tube attached to a motor for several days was uncomfortable – and attracted some strange looks – but it appears to have done the trick and was removed last week.
He said: "I looked like a right numpty going on the train, but luckily it came off after four or five days.
"There was a big tube and when I was walking it kept getting caught on doorknobs, it was a nightmare.
"Once it's healed I can start doing exercise outside.
"I'm still hoping for early March, which was what we thought from the second op."

Very unique! One of a kind! We are offering this wonderful Antique Limoges - One of a kind! - Tea Cup and Saucer Set! The cup measures 1 3/4" tall and 4" wide and the saucer 5 3/4". There are no chips, cracks or fractures on this piece.
This piece is signed by B.W. Cooper. It was customary to acquire pieces from Limoges, Haviland, B&Co, etc. in the late 1800's and have an artist hand paint them to your liking. We are offering several pieces in our store that were painted by the artist, B.W. Cooper. Not much is known about this artist, but it appears that they painted in both La Seynie France and also in the U.S.A. This artist chose the softest pinks, yellows and greens to decorate the porcelain with. I've never seen such pastels in this time period. The pieces we've collected date from 1910 to 1912. Some of the porcelain is from Limoges, some Haviland, still others B & Co, France. What we do know about all the pieces is that they are lovely - ONE OF A KIND - very unique! - and very delicate. Look through the shop and see what pieces you might like to have!

In theory, I suppose it would be funny—and incongruous—if in the middle of a serious costume drama a noble action hero uttered a four-letter word. Hearing Danny McBride do just that, repeatedly, in Your Highness not only isn't funny but grows wearisome as the film plods along, seemingly unaware that it's played all of its cards.
McBride has become a familiar face in recent years, contributing amusing moments to such comedies as Pineapple Express and Tropic Thunder. But the appeal of the movie he starred in and created with writing partner Jody Hill, The Foot Fist Way, eluded me completely, and I thought Hill's debut feature, Observe and Report, was ghastly. (I haven't seen McBride's HBO series, Eastbound & Down, so I can't comment on that.)
Still, nothing could have prepared me for the unspeakable mess that is Your Highness, written by McBride and Ben Best. I saw it with an audience of several hundred people, only a few of whom—
—found occasion to laugh now and then. Even they couldn't muster a chuckle for many of the film's most puerile and repetitive jokes.
McBride joins an ever-growing roster of childlike men who are putting their most juvenile goof-off ideas on the big screen. Apparently, he and director David Gordon Green cooked up this idea as a lark when they were in film school. In the ranks of movie parody, Mel Brooks and even Jim Abrahams have nothing to fear from these newcomers. The people who cut the trailer have a much better sense of comedy timing than the actual filmmakers, who allow so many of their gags to land with a thud. I feel sorry for people who will be suckered into paying to see Your Highness based on that preview.As for moviemaking craft, there is almost none in evidence. McBride's introductory scene is built around a sight-gag that falls completely flat. Later action and chase scenes are shot, staged, and edited so poorly that you can't really see what's going on! You can certainly hear the bombastic music score, however: it's very, very loud.
James Franco plays the hero and gives it his best shot, never winking at the audience. Zooey Deschanel is his virginal fiancée, who is kidnaped by an evil wizard. As Franco and McBride take off on their quest to save her, they encounter a fearless female warrior, played completely straight by Natalie Portman. (Note to voyeurs: if you're going to see the movie just to ogle Portman in a thong bikini, you've already seen all you're going to see in the trailers and TV spots.)
Perhaps alcohol would make this film seem funnier. I saw it sober and found it almost unendurable.

Alcohol? I think this one's tailor-made for tokers.

"Kidnaped"? Don't you get a red squiggly line under words you misspell before you publish your writing?
Handle your shit, Leonard. Then maybe I'll give some credence to your opinions.
Brian M | April 10, 2011 11:31 AM
Another future BOMB rated film, ehh, Leonard? As always, I hope it is.
Brian | April 9, 2011 8:53 AM
Alcohol, yeah that would make it great! Then I could carry the humor home with me along with a headache, and the squirts! Awsome drug

What annoyed me about it was that Zooey Deschanel was completely wasted as the helpless damsel. I thought Portman's character was simply a penance for the movie's decidedly unprogressive view of women, epitomized by giving Deschanel barely any lines and nothing to do but wait for the movie to rescue her. And apparently it's okay to objectify women (re: the bikini scene) so long as they are portrayed as strong fighters.

ouch. Thanks for the heads up on this. I thought the movie previews were hilarious, sad to know the film really isn't.

Thank you for the "Note to the voyeurs." I was pondering going to see this for that scene alone, but then found it on youtube. Oh well, I guess I'll go watch Hotel Chevalier again.
