A swatch of pale loveliness, here are this year's Vanity Fair photos of Hollywood ingenues. I believe the mag has done Kristen Stewart (Twilight) and Amanda Seyfried (Mamma Mia!), at least, before. Last week, Stewart was in Sundance supporting The Runaways and Welcome to the Rileys; Rebecca Hall stole Nicole Holefcener's Please Give at Sundance; Mia Wasikowska was also there, starring as one of the Kids Are All Right. She plays the title role in Tim Burton's upcoming Alice in Wonderland, which should break her out even more.
Here's the Vanity Fair story.
[Annie Leibovitz photo from left: Stewart, Abbie Cornish (Bright Star), probable Oscar nominee Carey Mulligan (An Education), Seyfried, Hall, Wasikowska, Emma Stone (Zombieland), Evan Rachel Wood (Across the Universe), and Anna Kendrick, who should also nab a supporting actress nom on Tuesday for Up in the Air.]

Are you all serious? Had they put Gabby on the cover, with only one movie under her belt, people would be outraged that they "threw in a token black girl." I'm proud of Vanity Fair for not caving to forced diversity. People are people, its time we stop focusing on race.

Fashion Designer John Robert Holbrook ( J.R. Holbrook ) selects the 5 best and worst dressed celebrities that attended the 26th annual Sundance Film Festival January 21-31, 2010. www.johnrobertholbrook.com
1 RYAN REYNOLDS - This man has golden era movie star style and looks! Why is he married again? He could be the new Warren Beatty!
2 KATIE HOLMES - Elegant, slender, talented and TALL! I wondered if she smacks Tom around? Her film "The Romantics" was a lot of fun! Katie's game is ON!
3 JOAN RIVERS - She is the original funny girl and style guru! She is a hard act to follow. She is the reason I started The Sundance Fashion Review in 2002!
4 MARISA TOMEI - A graceful, ageless beauty that has great taste. Her clothing brought out her beautiful skin, hair and smile!
5 JESSICA ALBA - The Sundance home run hottie! Amazing coat over a warm, elegant casual outfit! Loved it! Her film, "The Killer Inside Me", traumatized me for days!
1 ADRIAN GRENIER - The line from "Devil Wears Prada" came to mind when I saw him, "I asked for clean, athletic and smiley and they sent me DIRTY, TIRED and PAUNCHY! He acts to big for his britches and there are many examples of his bad manners throughout the festival!
2 BILL GATES - He is the worst dressed billionaire! He was dancing at a house party trying to be hip and cool and it was totally not natural for him. The girls at the party were laughing at him and it took him right back to high school! Sorry Billy.
** On an amazing note, Bill Gates donated 10 billion dollars today to immunize the world children! Awesome!
3 KRISTEN STEWART - She looked great in the movie "The Runaways" but her personal clothing choices were off. She was always hiding her face from the crowd like a vampire. I guess that is what happens when you have a shy actress portray a fearless musician!
4 TILDA SWINTON - I would have liked to have seen her in more feminine clothing to offset her extremely masculine features.
5 MARK RUFFALO - Guy-rilla! Did you make your own clothes on your family compound!? He looks like one of the cast members of "BIG LOVE"! Pull it together!!!
Fergie & Josh Duhamel - All I can say is GLAMOROUS! They are the new Brangelina!
Tommy Lee Jones & Chris Cooper - A lot of talent that looks TIRED! I did love their film "The Company Men"!
Brian | February 2, 2010 4:24 AM
I've never seen a single one of these actresses in a movie. I've never even heard of some of them. (If they would only start co-starring with Jason Statham that would all be corrected, of course.)
Sergio | February 1, 2010 11:06 AM
Yeah 31 is like REALLY REALLY old. She should be a old folks home by now
mary | February 1, 2010 10:53 AM
Zoe Saldana is 31 years old, so she isn't young actress anymore.
On the other hand.... I would think that Gabourey Sidibe should be on the cover.
jl | February 1, 2010 9:57 AM
double double, animal style, fries, shake
Dugan | February 1, 2010 9:46 AM
Someone feed these poor girls a hot dog or two.
jl | February 1, 2010 8:41 AM
@Alan @Sergio ... yeah, it's like it's "tea time" at the polo club.
Vanity Fair, you disappoint me once again.
Alan Sharpe | February 1, 2010 7:59 AM
Where's Gabourey "Gabby" Sidibe, from "Precious"? What a joke -- ZERO credibility, Vanity Fair.
Sergio | February 1, 2010 7:15 AM
They couldn't find ONE black actress suitable for the cover? Like Zoe Saldana who's been in two of the biggest hit movies of the year?? Give me a F______G break!

BP Resumes Barrier Island Clean-Up as Bird Nesting Season Comes to a CloseBy Rhonda Miller | Published 23 Sep 2011 08:55am |
After six months of giving the birds privacy for nesting, BP resumes clean-up of Mississippi's barrier islands today. MPB's Rhonda Miller reports coastal residents have been monitoring the shoreline all along.
Shirley Tillman is walking along the beach in Pass Christian and taking pictures, like she does a few times a week. Today, she's not finding anything unusual. But last week, she was disturbed by the number of tar balls she found on a Hancock County beach.
"It was maybe a block, this one little section of the beach, but it was just covered," Tillman said. "I guess the sun had dried them out, and they were a brown color. When you opened them up it was gooey oil inside of them." (Why do you think it was oil? )"Because I smelled it, the minute you broke them open you could smell it."
Out on the barrier islands, boaters have been giving reports of tar balls washing up.
Captain Louis Skrmetta of Ship Island Excursions talks about what he's seen.
"It looked fresh. It wasn't covered in sand. There were two pieces. One the size of my hand one the size of a hamburger patty, about an inch or two thick, and it was nasty. It had me a little concerned," Skremetta said.
BP spokesman Ray Melick said clean-up crews have been doing maintenance all along on beaches that are not part of Gulf Islands National Seashore. Beginning today, a clean-up crew of about 40 people will be return to the barrier islands.
"We haven't been to those islands since March 1," Melick said. "It's no surprise that there might be indeed tar balls out there. There were when we left the islands back in March.
Melick says BP is continuing to work with the Coast Guard and other state and federal agencies, and they'll keep the clean-up going until the job is done.

Learning for Life
ALS diagnosis only strengthens Cindy Crowe's
commitment to education
As she has dedicated her life to improving educational opportunities for children, it's only fitting that Cindy Crowe would use her diagnosis with a usually-fatal disease as a teaching tool, too.
Crowe has served on the Westerville Board of Education for 14 years. The stay-at-home mother has a bachelor's degree in education and is a certified teacher in K-8 special reading instruction.
She first got involved with the district via its remediation program in reading, and eventually decided to run for school board out of a desire to make a difference for students. Among her goals have been to improve student achievement and development, maintain financial accountability, and work with legislators on education issues affecting Westerville. She has seen success in all these endeavors, she says.
"During my tenure as a board member over the 14 years, I am most proud of the opportunity to share in the family celebration of educational achievement and shake the hands of approximately 18,200 Westerville school graduates," says Crowe.
In addition to serving on the school board, Crowe is on the Westerville Area Chamber of Commerce's Education Committee and a delegate of the Ohio School Boards Association. She's also involved with the Westerville Education Foundation, OhioReads, Character Education, Read Across America, Westerville Parent Council, Westerville Alumni Association, Westerville Parks Foundation Committee, Kids Voting USA and Rotary Club of Westerville.
Crowe and her husband, Alan, a director at Oliver Wyman Actuarial Consulting Inc., have two grown sons: Brandon, operations manager at Promotions Onc Inc., and Tyler, a student at The Ohio State University. Both are graduates of Westerville City Schools.
In March 2013, she was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, better known as ALS or Lou Gehrig's Disease.
ALS is an incurable and progressive neurodegenerative disease caused by the degeneration of motor neurons, the nerve cells that control voluntary muscle movement. It leads to paralysis and is eventually fatal, and has a genetic link; about 20 percent of individuals with ALS had a genetic susceptibility to it.
Crowe is part of that 20 percent; her mother died of ALS when Crowe was 15.
Early symptoms may include twitching, cramping, muscle stiffness, muscle weakness in an arm or leg and slurred or nasal speech.
Crowe's first symptoms were muscle stiffness and weakness in a leg, which she noticed while exercising. She underwent tests at the OSU Wexner Medical Center, the Cleveland Clinic and Cornell University's research center in New York City before getting her final diagnosis.
"Since the diagnosis in March of 2013, I have experienced increased paralysis of my limbs and difficult in speaking, breathing and eating, but no impairment of my mental functioning," Crowe says.
Shortly after her diagnosis, Crowe began looking for ways to raise awareness of the disease, improve treatment for patients and, eventually, help find a cure.
Among her most active partners is Vicki Jarrell, principal at Emerson Magnet School. Jarrell has her own connection to ALS: Her brother, Donald "Donnie" Jarrell, died of the disease in 2005.
Donnie, a special education teacher and triathlete, had bulbar onset ALS, the most aggressive kind. At the time of his diagnosis, he was given six months to live, but lasted 27, Jarrell says.
That up-close experience with ALS – and Crowe's years of hard work for the schools – inspired Jarrell to offer her assistance.
"I love Cindy – she's done so much for our community, so much for our school system," Jarrell says. "She's just a tremendous individual – so unselfish, so giving of her time."
Jarrell told Crowe that if she wanted to do anything to raise awareness, to let her know, and a few weeks later, they started the Crowe-Wentzel Winning the Fight Foundation. Wentzel, Crowe's maiden name, is part of the name as a tribute to her mother.
The foundation raises money to help individuals afflicted with ALS pay such expenses as treatment and travel. Its kickoff event took place in July and included live music, children's activities, a walkathon and overnight camping.
"We were able to raise $30,000," Jarrell says.
Though details have not yet been finalized, the foundation plans for spring and summer events this year.
The foundation is also a mechanism to raise awareness. Jarrell has been meeting more and more people touched by the disease, including eight in central Ohio.
"It's probably the most devastating disease that not many people know about," she says.
Beyond her work with the foundation, Crowe has sought out other opportunities to improve the survival odds of those who are hit by ALS, including participation in clinical trials.
"I have been determined to fight ALS and I have voluntarily participated in an important research study with Cornell University," Crowe says.
And she's still attending school board meetings. Though her loss of limb function means she needs help clipping on her microphone, she's still participating and doing her homework, as well as offering her help to board newcomers Tracy Davidson, Nancy Nestor-Baker and the Rev. Rick Vilardo.
"There are three new people on the board, and she's teaching and guiding us and doing a great job," says Davidson.
Though she was just elected to the board in November, Davidson has known Crowe for five years from their work on Westerville Education Challenge, a group that works to support the anti-bullying Challenge Day program in the school district. Davidson is also on the board of the foundation.
Jarrell describes Crowe as "tireless," as well as intelligent, clear-thinking, focused, bright, funny and positive. Crowe has always fought hard for public education and opportunities for the district's children, so it's appropriate that she's also battling ALS with aplomb, Davidson says.
"She's fighting for a cure, and I think she's doing a good job," says Davidson.

LIMASSOL - An investigation was launched on Friday after a 36-year-old Iranian man in police custody died of a suspected drug overdose.
According to the police, the suspect was arrested in Makarios Avenue on Thursday evening. The suspect locked himself in his car to avoid being apprehended but officers smashed a window and managed to place handcuffs on him. He was taken to a police holding cell where sometime later he had a seizure and lost consciousness. He was pronounced dead upon his arrival at Limassol General Hospital.
After conducting an autopsy state pathologist Eleni Antoniou confirmed the victim died of a pulmonary oedema caused by congestive heart failure.
"A nylon bag containing a narcotic substance was removed from the victim's stomach. It appears to have burst and likely resulted in his death."
Authorities are still uncertain over the type of drug in the victim's system.
"We believe it may be methamphetamine but this will be confirmed after we receive the results of the toxicological test."

Medical professionals and 4X4s needed for new wild weather emergency plan
7:00am Wednesday 22nd January 2014 in News
Retired medical professionals and ex-members of the emergency services are being called to action in a new emergency plan for Cury.
The parish council is behind the idea of setting up the plan, which will come into force in the event of flooding, heavy snow, outbreak of disease or similar disaster.
It is not intended to replace the assistance provided by the emergency services but supplement it, providing immediate local support on the ground when it is most needed.
The aim is to look after the welfare of people in the parish and/or help maintain its infrastructure.
Once published, a copy of the emergency plan will be kept in the village hall and updated periodically.
Parish clerk Samantha Folds explained: "Within recent living memory the village has been isolated through severe weather events, and has had to look inwards for immediate support.
"Amongst other matters, the plan will include the manning for emergency reception centres, details of relevant parish community groups and contact details of those who can provide assistance."
Examples given of the type of emergencies the village might have to contend with include surface water flooding, utilities failures – particularly electrical power outages – severe weather and human or animal disease outbreaks.
"The parish belongs to all its residents and no one else, so it is up to us to provide the local support for our emergency plan," added Mrs Folds.
The council is particularly looking for fit men and women of all ages to act as general helpers, in particular qualified first aiders and retired doctors/nurses/vets, plus retired members of the emergency services. Drivers with 4x4 vehicles and tractors are also urged to come forward, as well as people with appropriate training in using generators, chainsaws and lifting equipment.
At the same time, the council is compiling a confidential list of elderly or infirm residents who wish to be included as needing particular assistance in an emergency, whom the village should look out for.
Anyone willing to help or who needs particular help in an emergency should contact councillor Robert Wright, emergency plan co-ordinator, by February 10 by calling 01326 241208, writing to Colvennor Farmhouse, Cury, Helston, TR12 7BJ or emailing firstname.lastname@example.com

Sesame Street Music Works is an ongoing initiative to get kids up to age six and their parents, teachers and caregivers involved in active music making. The program uses the powerful appeal of the Sesame Street characters to spread this message across numerous media components, including television, video, the Internet, books, magazines and local/national public events.
Since 2001, NAMM and Sesame Workshop have provided over 1 million free Music Works DVDs and educational materials to the public and preschool instructors to further promote the initiative and create more active music makers. Sesame Street licensees have given away an additional one million of these fun and educational DVDs!
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What are the goals of this program?
The program aims to…
- Show parents and caregivers the role music plays in a pre-school age child's development
- Provide means for parents and caregivers to make music with children regardless of musical talent or training
- Demonstrate that everyone can enjoy, make and value music
- Encourage a love of music in children during their formative years
- Illustrate musical links among cultures
Q. What are the central messages of Sesame Street Music Works?
- Children grow and learn with music
- Everyone, everywhere can celebrate with music

Q. How did Sesame Street Music Works come about?
NAMM, the International Music Products Association and Sesame Workshop, the producers of Sesame Street, hosted a two-day symposium in February 2000 that assembled a broad spectrum of music education and early childhood development experts. The purpose of the gathering was to lay a conceptual groundwork and develop educational goals for a cutting-edge, multi-media Sesame Street outreach initiative in English and Spanish on music education. Leading researchers in early childhood development, education, the music-brain connection and other disciplines joined forces to design a multi-media program.
Q. What organizations are sponsoring Sesame Street Music Works?
NAMM is the founding sponsor of Sesame Street Music Works. Major support for the creation and development of Sesame Street Music Zone, the program's online component was provided by the ChevronTexaco Foundation.

The Shuberts conceived of the Imperial Theatre, their fiftieth New York venue, as a home to musical theatre hits, and their dream has been realized many times over. The playhouse was constructed as a replacement for the Shubert's 20 year old (and out-of-date) Lyric Theatre.
Over the years, the Imperial has witnessed a distinguished roster of hits. Its inaugural production was Mary Jane McKane (1923) followed by Broadway's biggest grosser of the 1920s, the operetta Rose-Marie (1924). Next was George and Ira Gershwin's Oh, Kay! (1926) starring Gertrude Lawrence, which included the now-classic "Someone to Watch Over Me." Successes of the 1930s included two George and Ira Gershwin tuners, Of Thee I Sing (1933) and Let 'Em Eat Cake (1933), Moss Hart and Cole Porter's Jubilee (1935), which featured premieres of "Begin the Beguine" and "Just One of Those Things", and Rodgers and Hart's On Your Toes (1936). Mary Martin debuted on Broadway in Cole Porter's Leave It to Me (1938), singing "My Heart Belongs to Daddy", and backed up by a chorus boy named Gene Kelly.
Many of the 20th century's most respected and successful composers and musical theatre stars played the Imperial Theatre. Irving Berlin had four hits here in the 1940s: Louisiana Purchase (1940), Miss Liberty (1949), Annie Get Your Gun (1946) and Call Me Madam (1950). Cole Porter had his collaboration with Herbert and Dorothy Fields Let's Face It (1941), and Silk Stockings (1955).
Frank Loesser's The Most Happy Fella (1956) led a new generation of hits, followed by Carnival (1960), Oliver! (1963) and the history-making Fiddler on the Roof (1964) starring Zero Mostel, which went on to become the longest running musical of its time in Broadway history. When Fiddler trasnferred to the Majestic to finish its run, two John Kander and Fred Ebb musicals moved in: Cabaret (1967) and Zorba (1968).
The most successful shows of the 1970s were Bob Fosse's production of Stephen Schwartz's Pippin (1972) starring Ben Vereen, and back-to-back Neil Simon hits: Chapter Two (1977) and They're Playing Our Song (1979). Michael Bennett's Dreamgirls (1981) was followed by two Shubert-produced musicals: Chess (1988) and Jerome Robbins' Broadway (1989). In 1990, Les Misérables moved to the Imperial from the Broadway, and completed its 6,680 performance run.
Most recently, the Imperial welcomed Australian heartthrob Hugh Jackman in the Peter Allen musical biography, The Boy From Oz (2003), the award-winning musical Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (2005), Tracy Lett's acclaimed August: Osage County (2007), the Tony Award-winning Best Musical Billy Elliot (2008) and Nice Work if You Can Get It (2012) with Matthew Broderick and Kelli O'Hara.
Like many other Shubert theatres, the Imperial was designed by Herbert Krapp in his trademark Adam-style. The recessed ceiling and ornamental panels that grace the walls are elaborately decorated with a number of motifs, including florals and geometrics. The rectangular auditorium is wider than it is deep, which allows most audience members to feel close to the stage and performers.

Here is what I would work to do as a league.
The first order of business is to come up with a framework for the 2011 calendar year that the league would play under. Things like restricted free agency, franchise tags, salary caps would all be illegal under labor laws as they would limit the players ability to get the best wage for his services.
1) Cap rosters at 53 players - Even during training camp and the offseason. This would eliminate many of the free agents from the workforce without singling any of them out. A player can't argue that he was unfairly treated just because he wasn't good enough. This will eliminate 864 (out of 2560) available jobs.
2) Eliminate the practice squad and IR - Again, the goal is to limit the amount of players that have jobs. This will force the players association to get back to honest negotiations.
3) Eliminate all mandatory benefits, insurance, pensions etc... from all new contracts. Here teams need to be careful to act completely independently. Maybe the big markets keep paying them knowing they can afford to. But the small markets cut everything they can.
4) Cancel all offseason conditioning and workout programs and close down all facilities. If players want to work out, make them do it on their own. This way, if they get injured, it's not covered under their contract. Be prepared to pay any existing offseason workout bonuses as long as the player can prove he was working out during the time he was supposed to.
5) Do not allow coaches to have any contact with players until 2 weeks before the first preseason game. The purpose of this is to ensure that star players will be forced into playing all 4 preseason games and the games will be more meaningful as coaches try to ensure their team is ready for the regular season.

1. OT Bryan Bulaga- Wow, we didn't think he'd actually fall to us. For us, it was Bulaga or a pass rusher. Bulaga was the general consensus on the best player on the board and he fell to us. His only knock is not being a great athlete and has short arms. Well, Chad Clifton had the same knock and he worked out very well for us. Bulaga aka "the whale" is a fine addition to Green Bay. ---A+
2. DE Mike Neal- A shocker for most of us as in he was a reach. Word is we were targeting a pass rusher in the 2nd Round, but the board didn't work in our favor here. Whether we tried to trade down or not, I'm not sure. If we couldn't, then we got our man. He has the ideal size to be a 3-4 DE, so we can't complain there. With Jolly possibly facing a suspension and becoming a free agent after this season, Neal looks to be a future starter. He has a great first step and can provide a decent pass rush. The area he needs to work on is stopping the run. Often times he gets tied up in blocks. ---C+
3. SS Morgan Burnett- 100% approval by us fans. I haven't heard or saw one fan complain about our trade up for Burnett. He's best known for his coverage skills and being a ball hawk. Allow me to introduce Nick Collins II. His only flaw is his tackling ability, which can always be worked on. Bottom line, he made a ball hawking secondary even scarier. I'm sure by this point some fans wanted a Cornerback for obvious reasons. Perhaps that could have been addressed in the 2nd Round, but TT didn't like who was on the board. One thing to be aware of though as we continue our transition into the 3-4, the Safeties have a bigger role than Corners. While the corners play zone near the sideline, the Safeties are covering the majority of the football field. You all saw what happened to Pittsburgh's defense went it was without Troy Polamalu. You all saw what happened to Baltimore's without Ed Reed. That is how important Safeties are in a 3-4. While in the 4-3, you generally play man to man and the Safety sits back deep. In the 3-4, you play a lot more zone blitzes and the Safeties have more responsibilies as the Corners cover the sideline. ---A+
5. TE Andrew Quarless- Puzzle for most us. This is the time where you begin to take risks though. Quarless is best known for his poor attitude and big ego. Before his senior season he was almost kicked off the team for his drinking problem. Supposedly he cleaned up his act, so we'll see. The man does have talent though. Standing at 6'4 and being 255 lbs, he does have the ability to create mismatches. Our risk on TE Jermicheal Finley a couple years ago definately paid off for us, so we'll see if Quarless does as well. He's not known for his run blocking so much which we need, but he is a good receiver. If he does pan out, then we'll have a dual threat TE Attack. Remember the days of Chumura and Jackson. ---B-
5. OG Marshall Newhouse- Another puzzling selection here. Is he a Guard or Tackle? Or is he just an athlete. He's got upside, but is a risk. Another one of our classic boom or bust guys. Green Bay has good depth at the interior of the line, but needed OT's. Whether he turns into our starting tackles over the years, we will see. ---C
6. HB James Starks- In a year and a half, he broke Buffalo's rushing records. Electric runner in the same build as Ryan Grant, just a lot faster. His knocks are the talent he played against and him missing all of his Senior Season due to an injury. ---B+
7. DE CJ Wilson- A good safe pick in the 7th Round. He's got good size to play as a 3-4 DE. He should provide quality depth to our Defensive Line, maybe turn into a starter in the future. Rarely do these picks ever do that, but we'll see. ---A
Overall: We should very happy with our draft. We needed to get a pass rusher and cornerback, but since the board didn't work in our favor early, we addressed other needs. A very good draft overall and we can't complain. We can't address every position we want in a single draft. Next year we will most likely target a CB and OLB early in the draft. Maybe Brad Jones will turn into a solid pass rusher, we will see. Jones is clearly a big winner in the draft though along with the rest of the linebackers. Adding in another guy in the trenches only makes their job easier. Pat Lee and Brandon Underwood are also winners as they get to keep their jobs for another season. Lee needs to stay healthy and show improvement as Underwood needs to take another step in learning his position. The faster they develop, the less concern they have of losing their job and the cornerback position becomes.
Overall Grade- B+

Top 8 U2 Songs
With the amount of press that goes into covering Bono's charity work and massive ego, it is easy to forget at times that U2 is still one of the biggest and best rock bands on the planet. The Dublin, Ireland-originating rock band has been rocking for over thirty years now and show no signs of slowing down. While even their most ardent fans acknowledge that they have had ups and downs, the group has always made it back to the "up" position by the virtue of their skill as musicians and their ability to reach a mass audience. The band has a new album coming out this year, their first since 2009's
No Line on the Horizon
. This week I thought we could look at the best U2 tracks in the band's history.
As usual with these act-specific lists, I was looking for original songs performed by U2 and not covers; I chose to focus on the original mixes and not remixes as well. As another note, this was another one of those very difficult lists to narrow down. I ended up leaving some songs off that I absolutely love because as great as they are, they just aren't quite in the top eight (or eleven, if you count the honorable mentions). Feel free to lambast me for not having "Where the Streets Have No Name" or "If God Will Send His Angels" on this list, but I promise it's not because I don't like them. I just like the songs that made the list an infinitesimal amount more.
Just Missing The Cut
"Mysterious Ways" (1991)
"Vertigo" (2004)
"New Year's Day" (1983)
#8: "Bad" (1985)
There are people who will note that this list is heavy on U2 hits, and in my defense it is difficult not to include a bunch of hits because the group released so many songs as singles that became hits. Seriously, the group has fifty-six songs that were released as singles off of twelve albums; of those fifty-six twenty became top ten hits in the US (thirty-four in the UK). So it isn't like there were a ton of great non-hits that the group had for me to choose from. "Bad" is their best song that was never released as a single; despite the fact that it never became a huge charting hit, it is one of the group's more popular songs and one of the most frequently-played by the group on tour. Bono's lyrics about heroin addiction are inspired by the rise of the drug in Dublin during the recession of the early 1980s, specifically a friend of his. The song has an atmospheric, almost dreamy quality to it that fits well with the lyrics to create a perfect example of one of the archetypes U2 does best: songs that are downbeat without being maudlin.
#7: "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" (1987)
As any fan of music might expect, there is going to be a lot of
The Joshua Tree
love on this list. That album is, for many people, the seminal U2 album with an epic 25 million copies sold worldwide; it launched the band from stardom to megastardom and for very good reason. This is the second track off that LP and is the band's ode to gospel music. The lyrics about spiritual longing and trying to one's way in the world are both accessible and deep in meaning; they are accompanied by some very evocative imagery. Like some of the greatest songs out there it isn't overly complex in structure and it doesn't try to be clever; it simply lays it all out on the line and says in a relatively few words what many, many groups have failed to say with more. The music is soaring and inspirational without needing to go over the top; this doesn't go to extremes because it never has to. In many ways, "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" is the quintessential pop-rock song and it remains a relevant and meaningful song to those who listen to it even today, nearly thirty years after the fact. That says a lot about it.
#6: "Beautiful Day" (2000)
The mid-to-late 1990s were not good to U2. Flush with the trifecta success of
The Joshua Tree
Rattle & Hum
Achtung Baby
, the band was more or less untouchable from a critical and commercial standpoint. The band felt it was time to change things up and we got some disastrous missteps in
, which found the band on a downward slide in not only critical praise, but fan following and commercial sales numbers. Thus, when
All You Cannot Leave Behind
was released in 2000 it was a welcome return for the band to their mainstream rock ways; as Bono put it, they were "reapplying for the job of the best band in the world" and they certainly made their case here. One of the biggest parts of their return was the first single off
Leave Behind
, the opening track "Beautiful Day." . What makes it work though so well though is that instead of just tucking tail and trying to replicate the success of their previous work, they pushed ahead and fused their old sound with what had actually worked from Zooropa and Pop. The result was the improbable restoration of their old fans while retaining many of their new fans, and once again U2 was the biggest and best mainstream rock band in the world. "Beautiful Day" has high-flying music and glorious lyrics; it was the group's triumphant return in a way that you simply could not deny.
#5: "All I Want Is You" (1989)
Rattle & Hum
was a huge commercial success and has a high level of acclaim among many of the band's fans, but there was a very vocal group who were disliked the album in a form of backlash against the group's watershed success with
The Joshua Tree
. No matter who you are though, you have to appreciate the final track on the album. "All I Want Is You" served as the final single off of
Rattle & Hum
and while it did not achieve the level of success that some of the group's other songs from the era did, it is easily the best song off the LP and one of their best song from the late '80s. Much like "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," this song is simple in its structure but quite powerful thanks in no small part to that simplicity. Bono wrote the song as a love song depicting his relationship with his wife Ali when they were younger, saying of marriage: "I think it's madness, but it's grand madness." It's a hell of a love song and the swell of the music in the chorus has been known to send a chill or two up my spine.
#4: "With or Without You" (1987)
One of the many huge hits off of
The Joshua Tree
, "With or Without You" was the group's first number one single in the United States and remains a mainstay of U2's catalogue for a very good reason. It is one of the most earnest songs in the band's repertoire and showed a side of the group that hadn't been seen up to that point. It would set the template for some of the band's biggest songs with a restrained sound that slowly builds as the song progresses while Bono's unmistakable voice rings with emotion. More than just the sum of its individual parts, there is a quality to "With or Without You" that strikes at the heart. The song is one of those hits that were never meant to be; the group almost passed on including the song for fear that it would be too sentimental. Even when recording it there were problems and producers Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno threw in the towel before Bono and Gavin Friday took the reins and delivered the unforgettable song that we ended up getting. You can mock the band for their success, but you can't deny the power of this song, which is one of the most emotional tracks that the band has ever done.
#3: "Pride (In the Name of Love)" (1984)
Inspired by a book about the life of Martin Luther King Jr., "Pride" is one of the band's more powerful socio-political tracks. The second of two tracks off
The Unforgettable Fire
to score in my top eight, the lyrics are powerful but we'll get to those in a moment. First we have to talk about The Edge's guitar work, which is perhaps the best he's ever been. Few songs have a more impressive collection of riffs than this one; The Edge switches smoothly from one to another and doesn't repeat himself from one part of the song to another. It underscores how good (and frankly, underrated) of a player that he is. As to the lyrics, they are carried by Bono who paints a vivid picture of a man who stands up to resist against all odds for what is right. He could be talking about any noble crusader until the final chorus, when it becomes crystal clear to anyone who knows their history who the subject is. It is a celebration of fighting for peace and what is right and one of the two best songs of the band's pre-
Joshua Tree
#2: "Sunday Bloody Sunday" (1983)
"Sunday Bloody Sunday" is one of those songs that you know will be an epic just from the opening moments. You have Larry Mullen Jr.'s iconic military-style drumbeat, The Edge's unforgettable opening guitar licks and, if you're listening to the famous live version from the band's 1983 Red Rocks show, Bono declaring that the song "is not a rebel song." At the time of its release the song caused a fair amount of controversy for the band, as some believed that they were glorifying the violence of the bloody struggles in Northern Ireland. Anyone listening to the lyrics knows that this couldn't be further from the truth. The song is certainly militaristic in sound, but the message is pure non-violence as it examines the brutality of the conflict and a refusal to, in Bono's own lyrics, "heed the battle call." What makes it so amazing is its timelessness; sure, we know that the song is primarily inspired by the Northern Ireland conflict, but the lyrics could really apply to any conflict and it resonates just as strongly today. "Sunday Bloody Sunday" is the song that took the band to a new level and prepped them for super-stardom; it also remains one of the most powerful protest songs of all time.
#1: "One" (1992)
I almost included "One" on my list of most misunderstood songs a while back. This song is surprisingly popular at weddings, which is rather funny when you think about the lyrics. The band was reportedly near the point of breaking up over a disagreement in their musical direction when, while working on the song that would become "Mysterious Ways," they found the melody that would become "One." According to Bono, "the whole thing was done in fifteen minutes." The very song was inspired by the band's fractured relationships at the time, but it has since taken on meaning for everything from a breakup song to an anthem for AIDS. It is only the best of songs that can seamlessly fit in so many interpretations and fit them so perfectly. While "One" may be the only song from the band's 1990s work to make my list, it alone is almost good enough to singlehandedly put their output in that decade on a level with their other work by sheer law of averages. It's evocative, poignant and incredibly powerful and in many ways it is the quintessential U2 song, which makes it their best in my book.
With the earnestness and seriousness of U2 pervading the column this week, I thought we could flip it around and go goofy for the Music Video A-Go-Go.

Depending on how much you buy into the hype and dialogue about Depression 2.0, you may also be considering some of the claims about how the economy affects people.
One thing is certain: men are being affected more than women. Men have experienced a whopping 82% of the job losses thus far. The author of the Slate article I've linked to, Emily Bazelon, has extended this claim to insist that male job losses are affecting relationships. It poses some confusion for the traditional roles of men and women, as well as some opportunities for women in the work force. It's certainly not easy for anyone.
Another belief about economic hardship that pertains to women is that female sex symbols plump out in difficult times. We seek more maternal, substantive and rubenesque body types when the economy is down: Marilyn Munroe, Nigella Lawson, or Scarlet JoHansson. By contrast, in periods of economic stability or excess, we admire thinner women: Twiggy in the sixties, or Kate Moss during the heroine chic of the Nineties.
The psychology behind this thinking is that we seek fertility and certainty in uncertain times and our sex symbols usually stand in contrast to the status quo. As resources are scarce, we value women with more meat. When resources are plentiful, we admire those who show self-restraint.
You can look at the evolution of different women's body types here and decide for yourself where we're headed. One thing is certain: times are tough right now so maybe we all need a little extra comfort food. (Besides, it might be a little sexy.)
Eat some grilled cheese. It makes everything better.
5-Blend Grilled Cheese Sandwich
No, this recipe does not abound in antioxidants. You can get some fiber if you use a nice whole-grain or 12-grain bread and the cheese has lots of calcium and a good amount of fat so you really absorb all the benefits of the calcium. We all know it's high in fat though, so it's not something I would make every day. I almost forgot: there's one more thing it's high in: soul. This recipe is very, very comforting and good for your soul.
2 tbsp of freshly-shredded strong cheddar
2 tbsp of freshly-grated parmigiano-reggiano
2 tbsp of freshly-grated mozzarella
2 tbsp of freshly-grated Gruyere
4 slices of 12-grain bread
3-4 tbsp of salted butter
Butter all the sides of the bread. Mix together the bousin with all the cheeses to form somewhat of a paste. Spread paste on 2/4 of the bread slices. Top cheese slices with other bread slices to form sandwiches. Fry in pan with butter until golden brown. Squish bread flat for panini effect. Serve with homemade vegetable soup.
The parmigiano-reggiano and cheddar add lots of flavour to the cheese blend, while the mozzarella and Gruyere lend a melty and deliciously stringy texture. The Boursin adds a herbaceous creaminess to the blend.

(WMC-TV) – A church in east Tennessee is defying man's law to honor what they say is God's law.
Snake-handling. It is an ancient form of worship with a modern day twist.
The pastor of the Tabernacle Church of God in LaFollette is 20-year-old Andrew Hamblin.
"The lord said thou shalt take up serpents. If there was a law that came against this world that said, 'You cannot praise God or read your Bible', there would still be somebody that would read their Bible," said Pastor Hamblin.
The church has about 30 full-time members.
"We're not up here throwing snakes across the church house and things like that," explained Pastor Hamblin. "I know the world thinks we're crazy. That's not what I want to share with the world, we're Christian people, we are part of the Pentecostal movement."
Hamblin grew up in a Pentecostal church that spoke in tongues but did not handle snakes. He saw a documentary on snake-handling and became interested when he was 17 years old.
He is now a full believer.
"You can take up serpents. A four, five-foot deadly rattlesnake, lay it in the palm of hand under the anointment of God and there'll be no harm come to you," said Hamblin.
Pastor Hamblin said you do not pick up a snake unless the spirit moves you.
"You don't set at home and say, 'When I go to church, I'm gonna sing one song, I'm gonna pray for brother so-and-so. When I get finished praying for brother so-and-so, I'm gonna handle two rattlesnakes and a copperhead. I'm gonna put them up then I'm gonna shout a while and go home.' You don't do that. We're led by the spirit of God," explained Hamblin.
Hamblin, who has a wife and four children, has been bitten four times.
"I've got a crippled finger to prove they're not de-fanged," he said.
Hamblin did almost die from one of those snakebites.
Over Memorial Day weekend, one of his mentors, Reverend Randy Wolford, was bitten by a rattlesnake and died the next day.
His father, who was also a preacher, died from a rattlesnake bite in the 1980s.
"The way he died, that was pre-appointed before the foundation of the world," said Hamblin. "What it means to me that, that just shows the ones that does believe in it this is not a game. This is not something you play with," he explained.
Hamblin and his fellow worshippers are part of a new generation of serpent-handling Christians.
They use Facebook to promote their kind of worship. Their worship is illegal because in Tennessee it is illegal to own venomous snakes. That law is something Hamblin is aware of.
"I don't never try to cause no trouble and the law around here, they wouldn't unless someone got bit and went to the hospital," said Pastor Hamblin.
At Hamblin's church, anyone under 18 years old is not allowed to handle the snakes. But other members do handle the snakes, even putting them close to their face.
During the service Action News 5's Janice Broach was invited to, some of the women wept, while others danced, shook tambourines, and spoke in tongues.
Hamblin says everyone is welcomed in his church.
"I'll welcome anybody and we'll treat ya good. We want to love everybody because that's what God is. God is love," he said.
Most snake-handling churches do not let the media inside. Pastor Hamblin said his congregation has nothing to hide.

For the better part of the winter, the East Coast has been getting hammered with record snowfall amounts. And now, the Midwest gets its turn at bat. A storm that some are predicting will be one of the biggest ever is descending on Chicago and other, less important cities. Some estimates put the expected snowfall at up to 18 inches with nearly impossible travel conditions.
While spending a few days snowed in may not seem like a bad thing to the workers of the world who might be lucky enough to have their workplace shut down for a day or two, being snowbound isn't without its risks. It's easy to forget that cold weather can leave you without heat, water or any feasible means to travel out and get food. What good is a snow day if it ends in you being an icy corpse, you know?
Here are five essential purchases for surviving a winter snowpocalypse…
Sengoku CV-2230 Portable Kerosene Heater
When the all the Winter storm hell really breaks loose, don't be surprised if your electricity goes out. Unfortunately, the people in charge of fixing things when that happens are immersed in the same snow and ice ridden mess that you are, so the chances of them getting to you in any sort of timely manner are slim to none. Unless you're lucky enough to have a wood burning stove or a fireplace in your home, both of which require a chimney system, chances are no electricity means no heat for you. How's that snow day sounding now?
But it doesn't have to be a problem as long as you're prepared for it. If you know a storm is coming or if you live in an area where the likelihood always exists, do yourself a favor and pick up a kerosene heater. The Sengoku CV-2230 is battery operated, so it's perfect for emergency situations. Keep one handy (along with plenty of kerosene to fuel it, duh) and you can focus on all of the other problems that a power outage presents, like a complete lack of Xbox connectivity, in relative warmth and comfort.
And speaking of kerosene heaters and a lack of electricity…
Lots of Extra Batteries
Take stock of all the things that contribute to your life of leisure and make note of the stuff that can run on batteries. If you don't have electricity, you can't charge your cellphone. If you can't charge your cellphone, you can't call for help. If you can't call for help, it's way harder to avoid a frigid death. So an extra cellphone battery or two isn't a horrible idea.
An extra laptop battery might be a good idea also. If your only internet connection is via a wireless router, it won't serve much purpose. But if you have a broadband card that's connected to a network that somehow manages to withstand the Snowmageddon, you'll at least be able to get online to stay connected to the outside world. And by "stay connected to the outside world" we of course mean "look at porn."
Aside from that, a nice selection of standard batteries is a must. You'll probably want some functioning flashlights when the power goes down. That's not going to happen without batteries, people.
Bottled Water
Hey, you know what's embarrassing? Dying of dehydration when surrounded by mountains of frozen water. It literally should not happen even if you're unprepared, but who knows what kind of nastiness is waiting for you in that pile of snow you may resort to melting with a cigarette lighter (oh yeah, buy some lighters). Trading dehydration for dysentery is hardly a win.
Instead, keep a lot of bottled water around. The pros suggest five gallons for each person in your home. If that's outside your budget, a stock of tap water will do the trick also. But how fucking gross is that? You might as well be drinking straight from the river.
Food You Don't Have to Cook
Did we just use a picture of Chef Boyardee Beefaroni as an example of food you don't have to cook? You bet your shivering cold ass we did. Hell, this slop is almost better if you don't heat it up, because it removes the humiliation of knowing you expended physical effort in preparing it right out of the equation. Oh, and if you ask how you're supposed to open the can if you don't have electricity…kill yourself.
If mushy "Italian" food isn't your bag, maybe opt for canned fruits and vegetables, tuna, crackers or anything else that will stave off death by starvation while also not blessing you with a slimming tape worm should you consume it without the benefit of an open flame.
A First Aid Kit
We almost left this off the list for the same reason we did leave blankets off the list…you should already have it. We assume most of you do have at least a few blankets lying around, even if you live in a relatively warm climate, there's always the possibility that a scantily clad movie killer escapee will come pounding on your door someday seeking shelter and protection. You'd just look like a perv wrapping her up in a bath towel or something.
But we're less certain about the first aid kit. Don't wait for an emergency to arise to have one on hand. Even if the Storm of the Century isn't bearing down on your place of residence, get it handled now anyway. You never know when you'll need it.

Mr. and Mrs. Kwon
Here are Grace's parents. My Korean birth father died when I was little and I have no memories of him. So I'm just projecting when it comes to Korean dads. Luckily I have no less than 5 Korean uncles to draw from. Mr. Kwon's "Balls!" line is probably one of my favorites from the book.
Mrs. Kwon's penchant for feeding all of Grace's friends is, of course, lifted straight from my wonderful Mom. There was a review of "Good As Lily" that criticized that scene as stereotyping Korean moms. I'm not sure what the reviewer wants from me. NOT to write from experience? Also, I doubt that particular habit is limited just to my mom, or just to Korean moms for that matter.
I wish I had had the room to unfold the scene where Grace asks her parents about Lily more slowly. I think it could've been much more powerful and subtle if I had more pages. With all the plot elements I had to get in inside the 144 page limit, I really had to pack each scene as tightly as I could. It's nobody's fault but my own though. I knew the book had to be 144 pages going in. The story just ended up having way more plot points and characters to cover than I had originally thought. When a story is just some mercurial blob in your mind, it's really hard to predict exactly what shape it will take once you put it down on paper. There were even scenes I wanted to get into the story that I had to excise all together. I think the book could've easily been 200 pages or so if I had had the freedom to tell the story in as many pages as the story naturally dictated.
But I don't have regrets about having to do that though. It was a good exercise. There are lots of instances when there are limits like that. A regular comic book issue has to fit into 22 pages. Every episode of every TV show has to fit into an exact minute. Movies have time limits of course, lots of instances dictated by studio heads who have no direct involvement with the story. I have a new-found respect for these writers now. I have no idea how they put up with these restrictions day in and day out.

meh...stereotyping schmereotyping.
mrs. kwon is like any mom. maybe american moms whip out the chips and soda for their kids' friends. maybe they order in some pizza.
my family, you get what feels like a ten-course meal. then you are served what amounts to a box of fruit - peeled, cored and sliced into finger-friendly wedges. and like mrs. kwon, you never leave empty-handed.

PEORIA, Ill. -- Peoria city officials are taking steps to expand global partners.
The city is about to enter into a sister city agreement with Jwaneng, Botswana.
All week long Peoria city officials have hosted a delegation from Botswana.
Today, the chamber of commerce and other business officials held a roundtable discussion with the group from the African nation. They heard more about Botswana businesses and the economy which is a big exporter of diamonds.
"We would hope that since the mayor has been to Botswana we will now see more businesses and that in Peoria when anybody says Botswana people will know we know where that country is," said Botswana Ambassador Tebelelo Mazile Seretse.
Both Caterpillar and Komatsu produce mining equipment which is used in Botswana.
This evening Peoria city officials will sign a memorandum of understanding with the mayor from Jwaneng, Botswana on becoming a sister city.

Christmas is over but still, Happy Holidays everyone and A Happy New Year!
I may not have read that much manga during 2011 but I made up for that during the last month of this year, during the last few weeks I finally managed to read many titles that were finished this year and that I did not have the time to read them as soon as they were released .
As for the manga that were released during the holidays…I don't think it was just me who had high expectations during this period, unfortunately we did not get that many releases worth mentioning, oh well, we gotta be happy with what we got and there are a few other manga that were finished in december and late november and were not yet posted here, so you guys will probably have what to read during these last few days of 2011.
Also, I know everyone loves a top favorites of the year but right now I can't think of any anime and manga titles that really impressed me this year, anyway, everyone is more than welcome to list their favorites, opinions on the closing year, to give it a push I will list my favorite movies released this year and the best books I read in 2011, I still have to think about manga and anime
Best Books read in 2011: The Hammer by K.J. Parker, To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis, The Book of Sand by Jorge Luis Borges, The Tenant by Roland Topor.
Best Movies released in 2011: Midnight in Paris, The Guard, X-Men: First Class.
Worst: The Priest, Season of the Witch.
Best tv series(anime excluded): Community, The League, American Horror Story.

I am pretty sure everyone who visits this site is familiar with Hiroaki Samura's manga, but if you are like me and have a problem with remembering peoples names then it would be easier to also mention that he is the mangaka of Blade of Immortal, now you should immediately know who he is since Boti is one of the most popular seinen titles in recent years, but today I will not upload Blade of the Immortal but some of his more neglected works and my favorite one of those would be Emerald. There is quite a lot of variety when it comes to his shorter manga, you will find everything from action to comedy, to romance, while some are dark and disturbing other are bittersweet and funny.
As for the usual updates… actually since the last post I made a few updates gathered so I have what to post but the free time I had during the last few days I did not really read any manga but preferred to watch some anime movies and ova, I don't remember if since I became an author here any anime were posted but once upon a time anime could be found here too, so I will also upload two OVAs.
For those who want to download all the above Hiroaki Samura manga in one go, I uploaded them in one folder here.
And now to the anime, it seems I did not upload 2 ovas but an ova and an anime movie, even so both of this anime last approx. 30 minutes.

Clarence had surgery on Wednesday. According to his family, and without knowing much in the way of details, his stomach was 'better than expected' and the surgery 'went very well.'
He is recovering and is heavily medicated. The family thinks he might be well enough to start seeing visitors by Saturday.
His family was very appreciative of all the printed-out emails and letters and comments from our stories here on the web, as well as the nice little gift we were able to give them courtesy of the Game Time family.
Thanks to everyone for their concern.

Raw Food Diet
What is the Raw Food Diet?
"The raw food diet (or living foods diet) is a dietary regimen consisting of uncooked and unprocessed organic foods. Most of the foods consumed on this diet are fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Some followers of the diet also consume raw meat and dairy products, although most follow a vegan regimen, as animal products normally need to be cooked in order to be safe for consumption. (Dairy products are pasteurized, eggs are cooked to avoid salmonella, and many meats need to be cooked in order to avoid parasite or diseases.) The exact definition of raw food varies, but the general consensus is that a food is considered raw if it has not been heated to more than 115 degrees Fahrenheit (46 degrees Celsius), and if it has not been frozen.
A raw foodist is a person who consumes only raw food. There is some debate over
what quantity of raw food intake actually identifies one as a raw foodist. Most can agree that if someone eats 75% or more of
their food as raw, they are a raw foodist." From Wikipedia:
Why Raw food?:
All health is cellular health. What is best for your cells is best for your health. Cells thrive in environments that are abundant in what they need and they experience dis-ease in environments that are not, (you are what you eat). Eating a diet that is rich in raw fruits and vegetables provides your cells with minerals, vitamins and enzymes that are traditionally lost through the cooking process.
Anyone who tells you otherwise is itching for a fight.
More on Why Raw Foods?:
Super Model Carol Alt: "Cooked food does not feed the body, yet people want us to eat cooked food because it lasts longer on the shelf and there's more money on the bottom line."
Author & CEO David Wolfe: "Raw plant food is beautiful. Creating and eating this food is an art. Every ingredient is a new color. Each meal is a cloud or a stream or a flower - a piece of the magnificent painting that you are becoming. Every bite is a detailed brush stroke on your work of art in progress. What we see as the world is only a reflection of the work of art we are inside. We find that once we become pure and polished within, everything outside of us also becomes that and more. To me, the raw vegan ideal represents not only a way to live in peace, love, and harmony with Nature and the animals, but also it represents the highest aspirations of beauty in the human spirit."
Chef & Author Roxanne Klien: "Living foods are the key to our health and longevity. They allow our bodies to perform as they were meant to. Our bodies have evolved over a four million year period. For 3,950,000 of those years we ate only raw, living foods. It is only recently that we have begun eating cooked food. When we look at other mammals in nature, we do not see any significant incidence of the diseases that have become pervasive in humans. No cancer, heart disease, strokes or diabetes.
Author T.C. Fry: "In nature all animals eat living foods as yielded up by Nature. Only humans cook their foods and only humans suffer widespread sicknesses and ailments. Those humans who eat mostly living foods are more alert, think clearer, sharper and more logically and become more active. Best of all, live food eaters become virtually sickness-free!"

- 1-1/2 cups sugar
- 3/4 cup water
- 2/3 cup corn syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon oil
- 30 cinnamon sticks (5 inches)
- Using a pencil, draw ten 2-in. ovals on three sheets of parchment paper. Place paper, pencil mark side down, on baking sheets; chill until ready to use.
- In a large heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, water, corn syrup and cream of tartar. Cook and stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Bring to a boil. Cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 325° or mixture is a golden amber color.
- Remove from the heat; stir in oil (keep face away from mixture as oil is very strong). Immediately ladle mixture over ovals; press a cinnamon stick into each. Cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 month. Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.
Editor's Note: We recommend that you test your candy thermometer before each use by bringing water to a boil; the thermometer should read 212°. Adjust your recipe temperature up or down based on your test.
