To mark IDC Herzliya's 20th anniversary, we spent a day following Prof. Uriel Reichman, IDC's founder and president, and Jonathan Davis, VP for External Relations, around its delightful campus.
A Canadian judge has ordered child protection officials to use law enforcement agencies to apprehend 14 children in the haredi Orthodox sect Lev Tahor after most of them fled the country.
On Wednesday, the judge was supposed to hear an appeal of an earlier ruling to seize the children and return them to Quebec to be placed in foster care. No members of Lev Tahor showed up, and reports surfaced that several sect members had fled to Guatemala and Trinidad and Tobago.
The judge ordered child protection officials in Chatham-Kent, Ontario to use the resources of local, provincial and federal police, and the Canada Border Services Agency, to locate the children and return them to Canada to be placed in the temporary care of Chatham-Kent Children's Services. The order applies to three families.
Police said that 12 of the children under the order have left the country. The location of the other two remains unknown.
Earlier this week, authorities in Trinidad and Tobago stopped nine sect members of the sect — three adults and six children — at the airport as they were en route to Guatemala. They were offered a flight back to Toronto but refused, insisting they go to Guatemala.
According to a report in Trinidad media, the nine are "not detained" and neither are they deemed "fugitives." They were stopped because of "inconsistencies" in their answers to questions and have hired a local lawyer, the report said. They remain at the airport, having spurned offers of a hotel.
Canadian embassy officials met Thursday with authorities from Trinidad's security ministry, which handles immigration.
Another six children are already in Guatemala, reported the Montreal Gazette.
In an interview Thursday with the Gazette, Canadian youth protection official Denis Baraby said he's concerned the remaining members of Lev Tahor are planning another exodus and that the rest of the children have to be seized soon.
"I think the community is preparing a mass move," Baraby said. "If we want to protect the children that are in the community, we need to start working on the exit of the 114 other children."
Some 250 members of Lev Tahor fled Quebec in November just ahead of a court order to seize 14 children and place them in foster care. Authorities said they had evidence of physical abuse, neglect, underage marriage and the forced ingestion of drugs.
The Lev Tahor settled in southwest Ontario, where the Quebec order was upheld last month. The affected families were told not to leave Canada pending the appeal. Baraby said the adults who took the children out of the country could be charged with kidnapping.

abusing children is not jewish, neither is that cult.Inspite of their lofty and utterly phoney name. "Pure heart" ? my foot! their hearts are pure evil!
May Hashem bfing His Mighty Holy hand of judgement down like a ten pound hammer and COMPEL them to give those children back.
Why were they taken
Hello….Why don't we hear exactly what "abuses" the people/children endured and compare them with what Muslim children endure…in addition to the women legally re. Shariah being obligated to be one of 4 allowed wives at "under age" according to western standards??? Why not expose all of it for every religion and sect???
Let's hope that they find these children.
This cult need to be brought to a halt.
It's unhealthy for the parents as well.

Jun 5, 2011Alter Ego has a good basic gameplay but everything else is riddled with flaws. The puzzles are too simple, the ending is disappointing and the animations just aren't impressive.
While Black Mirror was a great game from Future Mark, they are struggling to follow up to their hit ever since. Alter Ego "convinces" with inconsistencies in the story telling department as well as dated graphics.
It is wonderful that there are still really entertaining games you can find in this genre. Fans of adventures and the Victorian England should try to solve the riddles about Sir Williams' corpse.

I needed to complete day 3 of week 2 of my "Run for God" 5K challenge. My friend and I were suppose to meet last night to get in our third (my 4th) run for the week. Only, she txtd me to let me know that she had been hit with the stomach bug that has been going around. So I decided in my mind that I would take off Friday, since I ran Wed and Thursday, and run on Saturday morning. I figured it would be warmer and a great way to get the day going.
Only I was wrong. When I woke up…Continue

Note to self: Never drink your last cup of coffee at 6pm, go to church, and then get on a treadmill and run/walk for 30 minutes thirty minutes before your bedtime and expect to sleep peacefully.

That's it. I'm off the juice (Coke-a-Cola). OK. I mean all soda. For good this time. No transition period. No weaning off it. Cold. Stinking. Turkey. I know that although you have been there to support me without judgment in my most darkest hours you are just no good for me. In fact, you are slowly killing me with every sip I take. So goodbye dear friend. May we never meet again.

Just a quick little share before bed. I did run this morning and I felt great. I ran the whole thing and I did it in 11min 43sec. My fastest mile time as an adult. I'm pretty proud. And even better I could have kept going if I had the time but I had to get back to have time to walk my other dog that can't run.

The time has come for me to put up or shut up. This messing around and making choices that I know will make me feel bad later is over. And when I say "make me feel bad" - I am not talking about the "beat yourself up" guilt trip we send ourselves on. I'm talking about the choices that make me PHYSICALLY feel like a piece of crap. Like eating white potatoes when I know they will make me feel like a slug. Choosing a gooey dessert when I've eaten my fair share of food ... the sugar high and…Continue

Product description
A pioneering cardiologist and the author of the international bestseller The South Beach Diet presents the truth about cardiac care in this country and offers his proven program for preventing heart attacks and strokes. This year alone more than 1 million men and women in this country will suffer a heart attack or stroke. The shocking fact is that the majority of heart attacks and strokes can be prevented with the medical knowledge we already possess. Yet this isn't happening. Why? Because doctors and hospitals are paid more to treat disease with invasive techniques like angioplasty and bypass surgery than to prevent it. In his most personal and passionate work yet, Dr. Arthur Agatston champions a revolution in heart disease prevention that will enable people to stay out of the hospital and off the operating table. In Part 1 of this compelling book, he tells you why seemingly healthy people can suddenly have a heart attack and why people with great cholesterol numbers can be walking time bombs. He explains why belly fat can be an early warning sign of future heart disease and why a noninvasive heart scan can help predict your risk of heart attack. In Part 2, he presents the South Beach Heart Program, his 4-step plan for detecting, preventing, and even reversing heart disease: The 4 steps include: Heart-healthy eating, regular aerobic and core-strengthening exercise, state-of-the art diagnostic testing, and the latest heart-protective medications, as necessary. Thanks to his aggressive prevention approach, Dr. Agatston rarely sees a heart attack or stroke in his practice. Now you can benefit from the prevention strategy he uses to help his patients every day.

Kelty Auction #6 - Gordie Howe, Sid Abel, and Ted Lindsay Signed Pucks ***UPDATED***
July 04 2014 09:42AM
You guys really are amazing. To this point, we've raised over $3000 for our friend Kelty and we can't thank you guys enough. The money we're raising is going to help her with all the physiotherapy that she's going to need after her surgery and your help is going to go a long way. If you don't have the cash to bid, we understand, but if you can help us spread the word that's doing more than enough to help. Today's item is another great one, we've got a Gordie Howe, Sid Abel, and Ted Lindsay signed pucks with picture and frame. Check it out.
Kelty Auction #5 - Signed Eberle Jersey ***UPDATED***
July 03 2014 10:38AM
Our auction for Kelty is winding down and we want to end it off with some really great items. Today's item, I almost can't believe I'm putting it up. Our very own Wanye donated a signed Jordan Eberle jersey that we were almost sure he was going to be buried in. At this point, we've raised over $2000 for Kelty and the money we're sending is going to help her out with the physiotherapy she'll need after her surgery. Let's get right to it.
3 Thoughts - Free Agency, Hockey Insiders, & Grabbing Ass
July 02 2014 02:30PM
When I'm not busy putting my feet up and pretending to be busy, I'm a deep thinker. I always have something rolling around in my brain. Usually these things have to do with the female anatomy and jelly beans, but once per week I bang my head against the desk and see what falls out. This week I offer my wisdoms on Oilers free agency, rumours, and Claude Giroux.
Kelty Auction #4 - Development Camp with NHLers ***UPDATED***
July 02 2014 11:19AM
Today is the 4th auction in our drive to raise as much money for Kelty as possible. At this point, we've raised $1950 that will be going directly to Kelty's family to help with the cost of her surgery. We've still got some great items to go, so keep checking with us to see what's happening. If you don't have the cash to bid on the auction, we don't blame you, but you can still help us by sharing and spreading the word. Today's item is a spot in Brian Sutherby's hockey development camp. If you've got a little hockey player in your family that would love to spend some time with some NHLers, this is for them. Thanks, Nation.
Free Agency Live Blog ***UPDATED***
July 01 2014 10:00AM
Is there anything better than Canada Day and free agency falling on the same day? For some reason, the NHL wanted to keep the two days separate (like spending time with family is important... pfft) but I think it's a great way to spend the day. Join me as I live blog the free agency spectacle from an Oiler standpoint. We'll take a look at rumours going around Twitter, the guys we sign, and the guys we missed out on. Happy Canada Day, Nation!

Raising Sand - Robert Plant And Alison Krauss
- Band Name: Robert Plant And Alison Krauss
- Record Label: Rounder
- Release Date: Oct 23, 2007
- Summary: The Led Zeppelin singer pairs up with Bluegrass singer Alison Krauss.
- Record Label: Rounder
- Genre(s): Folk

Score distribution:
Positive: 19 out of 20
Mixed: 1 out of 20
Negative: 0 out of 20
The most remarkable collaboration since Norah Jones and the Foo Fighters is also one of the best albums of the year. [Nov 2007, p.92]
This collection is simply a joy to listen to, with great singers lovingly rendering great songs with a talented producer at the helm.
Though Alison Krauss and Robert Plant make strange bedfellows indeed, the result is an engrossing, powerfully evocative collection.
More revelatory are Krauss' splendid R&B turn on Little Milton's 'Let Your Loss Be Your Lesson' and Plant's Dr. John impersonation on Allen Toussaint's 'Fortune Teller'--just two of the many eye-openers on this surprising, and surprisingly effective, collaboration.
Raising Sand is an album of deep, dark Americana, a scintillatingly stitched patchwork of country, R'n'B and singer-songwriters that represents what Plant describes as "the America I have always loved musically."
So even though Burnett has assembled a crack acoustic support unit to play the choice material he's selected from Gene Clark, Townes Van Zandt and the Everly Brothers, without that magical X factor you've got nothing but two good vocalists trying to stay out of each other's way.

Business Dinner Suggestions in Raleigh, NC
I will be taking a group of six adults out for a business dinner while in Raleigh, NC. I usually like to go to places that are casual upscale, but I will take any suggestions that are true to the area. Any opinions would help narrow down my options. We will be staying in the Crabtree Valley area is that helps. Thanks!!!!!
I would take your group to The Pit in downtown Raleigh. White table cloth BBQ done very well.
While some will disagree, the Angus Barn is a Raleigh institution. If you want more modern, creative fare then consider these.
Bloomsbury Bistro
Nanas (durham)
Magnolia Grill (durham)
I agree with the Pit suggestion, unless you know you have vegetarians. The Pit is definitely unique to Raleigh and has local character, but also upscale and with a nice atmosphere.
If you find you need to stay in the Crabtree area, there is Bella Monica, which is very good Italian food - but it's not the quietest, if you need to have business discussions.
re: dubedo
There's also Savoy, just a straight shot up Lead Mine, as well as Coquette just off 440 on Six Forks. They're both French places that I haven't tried. If I were taking colleagues out in Raleigh, I'd hesitate to take them out for steak or French food. I've been to Fins, Frazier's, Nana's, and Mag Grill. They'd be quite suitable. Another idea is Second Empire in downtown Raleigh, a bit pricey in these days of economic malaise, tho...
re: dubedo
I was at The Pit this weekend and noticed there was a BBQ Tofu on the menu - so not entirely out of the picture for vegetarians, but not optimal for them either.
Please don't go to the Angus Barn. Sure, it is an "institution" and frankly, the food tastes like institution food. There is nothing special here at all, besides history. Also, not good for a business dinner because it is so loud in there.
I really like 18 Seaboard which is near Peace College. It would be a straight shot up Glenwood towards downtown and then turn onto Peace St. Good locally owned place. Great upscale southern recipes and very nice atmosphere. I'd choose this long before the Pit. The Pit is good, but in the end it is just BBQ, not exactly upscale.
I've taken quite a few out of town business acquaintances and personal friends to several of the places mentioned here, and we've gotten consistently good food and service at The Pit, Angus Barn, and Fins. All three are great, and AB and The Pit are especially good if you have out of towners or those not familiar with BBQ in tow.
Margaux's is not far from Crabtree Valley mall- it is a 5 minute drive.
Megabytes had really great suggestions- Bloomsbury & Fins -- only about 10 minutes away from Crabtree.
If your crowd are drinkers, going to the Angus Barn's Wild Turkey bar is nice, maybe before or after dinner..
Don't forget Porter's! Also on Hillsborough St, next to Frazier's. Or another great place in North Hills is 115 Midtown.
115 Midtown
4421 Six Forks Rd Ste 115, Raleigh, NC 27609
Porter's Tavern
2412 Hillsborough St, Raleigh, NC 27607
i recommend fleming's at crabtree mall. i saw some business dinners going on. upscale and casual and quiet enough for business.

Police asked to ticket water hogs
(MIAMI) – Police departments in South Florida have a new task – monitoring water use.
Officials at the South Florida Water Management District is urging a zero-tolerance policy. They say police officers should give tickets to anyone caught violating restrictions on such things as watering lawns or washing cars, with no friendly warnings.
The area is in a severe drought with Phase 2 restrictions on water use in force. But officials say that the amount of water consumed is down only 5 percent from last year, and more severe Phase 3 restrictions may be needed if the Phase 2 ones are not enforced.

Junior Diabetes Research Foundation
CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA (Charlotte Observer) - Idlewild Elementary's annual participation in a program to raise awareness and money for Type 1 diabetes research has special meaning for first-grader Elizabeth Stabler-Tarver. Elizabeth lost her grandmother to Type 1 diabetes.
"Nana was very sick, she had to get her leg cut off, she couldn't see out of her right eye, and she was in dialysis," she says. "She died too soon."
Elizabeth and her classmates participated in the Junior Diabetes Research Foundation "Kids Walk to Cure Diabetes" program for schools, which also educates students and teachers about the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. It helps students understand, among other things, why classmates with Type 1 diabetes have to go to the nurse several times a day to check their blood sugar and get an insulin shot.
The program inspired Elizabeth to raise $540 toward Type 1 diabetes research all by herself. She asked friends and family all over the world to contribute and received donations online from Iraq, Afghanistan, New York, South Carolina and Georgia.
Here she's at the school gym in front of a "shoe wall" -- where, for every donation students receive, they put the donor's name on a shoe. Idlewild Elementary raised more than $1,000 for Type 1 diabetes research.
"If there is not a cure by the time I am a doctor, then I want to find a cure so that other people's nanas don't die so soon," Elizabeth said.

Historically Aware: Apartment Building in London by Squire and Partners
The architectural office of Squire and Partners has designed a new office and residential development in Mayfair, a district of London with a heritage of its own. Accordingly, the design of the façade provides subtle references to the past.
Architects: Squire and Partners, London
Location: 10 Hanover Street, London W1S 1YF, Großbritannien
The wide office building and slender residential block in Hanover Street were completed in early December. To put the smaller width of the narrow plot to more effective use, the two buildings have a shared circulation core.
The apartment building has an open and highly-modulated façade. The pale prefabricated balcony elements make an airy impression with their glass balustrades and lend horizontal articulation to the seven-story mass. Storey-height perforated shutters that can be closed across the complete width of the building provide the residents with privacy yet allow light to permeate into the rooms.
The foldable aluminium elements refer back to the history of the district and the street, which between 1800 and 1930 was largely occupied by military tailors producing, among other things, red parade uniforms with golden trim. These colours are to be found in the foldable sun screens, while the pattern of the perforations is abstracted from the chevron motif woven into the fabric of the uniforms. The dark bronze look of the shutters echoes the traditional colour of Mayfair shop fronts.

Sharda Ugra in Bangalore
March 9, 2012
Rahul Dravid's retirement from international cricket was announced at his home ground, the Chinnaswamy Stadium, in a function room filled with more than 200 people. Family, team-mates, friends, KSCA members, officials and journalists had gathered - as did fans watching a live broadcast on national television - to mark the end of a remarkable career and a "reassuring presence" in the Indian team. Dravid, the second-highest run-getter in the history of Test cricket, possibly the last of India's classical Test batsmen, was a cricketer who successfully straddled the old school with the new age, becoming a pivotal figure in the growth of India's Test team in the 21st century.
The press conference began on schedule and, within three-quarters of an hour, Dravid left the room and international cricket as he had walked in. Swift, smooth, business-like, and, on Friday, to the sound-and-light burst of camera flashbulbs. The significance of Friday's announcement will be understood only six months down the line, when India play Test cricket for the first time in 16 years without the most reliable one-drop in their history.
The decision to retire was not sudden, he said; the period of contemplation had lasted over a year as he assessed his game series after series. The disappointment of the Australia tour had not given him any 'eureka' moment around his decision to leave the game. "I didn't take the decision based on one series… these decisions are based on a lot of other things, it's the culmination of a lot of things. I don't think it's based on what happened in the last series. For each one it comes differently, for me it's come with a bit of contemplation, a bit of thought, with friends and family."
On his return from Australia, Dravid spent a month, taking out the "emotion" from the overall result in order to "look at things dispassionately," he said. At the end he said, "I came to this decision and when I came to it, I was very clear in my mind." It had, he said, been easy as it was difficult, that he had known "deep down in his heart" that it was time for the "next generation of the young Indian cricketer" to take over.
It was tough to leave "the life I have lived for 16 years and, before that, five years of first class cricket. It [cricket] is all I have known all my grown life … it wasn't a difficult decision for me because I just knew in my heart that the time was right, and I was very happy and comfortable in what I had achieved and what I had done. You just know deep down that it is time to move on and let the next generation take over."
Dravid entered the function room straight into a scrum of photographers, looking almost apologetic at having caused such a fuss. He was dressed in his India blazer and seated on the podium next to BCCI president N Srinivasan and his former team-mate, captain and now KSCA president, Anil Kumble. The walls around him were lined with portraits of Karnataka's Test players, in the front row of the audience were members of his family, team-mates and the cricket community of the city.
He began by reading out his statement, his voice steady as he listed the people who'd played a part in every stage of his career - coaches, selectors, trainers, physios, officials, team-mates, family, even the media. He ended with the Indian cricket fan. "The game is lucky to have you and I have been lucky to play before you… My approach to cricket has been reasonably simple: it was about giving everything to the team, it was about playing with dignity and it was about upholding the spirit of the game. I hope I have done some of that. I have failed at times, but I have never stopped trying. It is why I leave with sadness but also with pride."
With the statement ended and applause breaking out, Dravid looked at his wife in the first row. There was both relief and calm on his face and something other than television lights reflecting in his eyes. After the contemplation and the deliberation, the conversations with people he trusted, it was over.
Dravid became the first of India's senior-most cricketers - Sachin Tendulkar and VVS Laxman being the others - to quit the game after a season of speculation surrounding their future. His decision follows a poor tour of Australia but he enjoyed a prolific run through 2011, scoring five centuries - including four in the Caribbean and England. However, he is set to captain Rajasthan Royals in the upcoming IPL season.
The biggest surprise of the afternoon, however - far more unexpected than even the finality of Dravid's retirement - was to follow. It came from BCCI president N Srinivasan: a man famous for an undemonstrative, glacial public face made an emotional and heartfelt speech. He spoke extempore of an "irreplaceable" cricketer, his voice wavering more than once. Srinivasan recalled having watched Dravid "grow from the days he played club cricket in Chennai, from the Ranji Trophy days … to the time he captained India". Dravid, he said, was an "ambassador for the sport, for the Indian team and for India".
"None of us really want to see such great players go away, we like to think they are permanent," Srinivasan said. "I think that deciding when to retire is possibly the hardest decision Rahul has ever faced. It is not easy to say adieu…"
Kumble called Dravid one of Karnataka's "finest cricketing sons" and spoke of his "reassuring presence" for India in the dressing room and on the field. It was Kumble who got Dravid to eventually crack his first smile of the afternoon, when he said the KSCA would now "expect to see you often in the association wearing the administrative hat." There were also a few tips on life after retirement, Kumble telling Dravid that apart from being busier "with exceptional demands made on your time, your ability to say no will be challenged like never before".
Sitting in the audience was Dravid's former team-mate Javagal Srinath, the current KSCA secretary, who had walked into the room before the event to check if the arrangements were in order. Dravid's immediate future includes six weeks of the IPL and he offered no clues as to whether he would take up a post-retirement life as coach, administrator or commentator. "I truly believe that some time away from the game will be good for me, I've played the game for 20 years I've lived in a cocoon, in a surreal world, this world has been away from reality in some ways." He did say though that because he loved routines, his return to the real world could include his new routines that involve dropping his sons off at school and shopping for groceries.
Among Dravid's contemporaries, both Kumble and Sourav Ganguly retired just after Test matches and Dravid was asked whether he had not wanted to end his career that way, walking off a field of play. "Just to keep playing for the sake of playing just one Test match, I didn't think was right." He needed to play, "for the right reasons - to win Test matches for India. I've done that for 16 years and I feel the time was right, I've had a great run. I have given this some thought … at the end of the day when a player has to go, he knows he has to go and I didn't feel the need to drag it on longer [in order to have a farewell Test]." Dravid was replying to questions in three of the four languages he speaks, taking particular pride in receiving special applause from the back of the room for working his way through a fairly long answer in Kannada.
Along with his wife, sons and brother, Dravid had walked onto the Chinnaswamy field for a short while just before he came in to speak to the media. The stadium was his finishing school before his graduation to Test cricket, and the adjacent NCA nets turned into a trusted training ground over the past decade where Dravid had always showed up early to work on his game.
Now retired, he will finally be free of the 7am gym and nets sessions. But what about the pure love of just batting? Of striking the ball with bat? Wouldn't he want to steal into the nets just for a hit or two? Dravid paused for a moment, smiled and then said: "Probably in the quiet. I'll come very late at night."
On the day he left the international game, this became the perfect final image of Rahul Dravid. Not that of the obdurate competitor in the arclights of cricket's 'surreal' centre. But of the "reassuring presence", of the craftsman in the quiet of dusk, of the man who never stopped trying.

EMPORIA, KAN. -- Local business owners submitted a petition against the smoking ban in Emporia today.
Representatives of Emporia Open for Business gave the city clerk about 1400 signatures to force the issue to a public vote. They needed to gather more than 700 signatures by February 2nd.
Local business owners expressed a concern that the smoking ban will negatively impact their business.
S.C. Dixon owns two businesses in Emporia and strongly disagrees with the smoking ban. Dixon said it is an individual's decision and should remain that way.
Clean Air Emporia led the charge in favor of the smoking ban, which city commissioners voted for last December.
"The choice to smoke shouldn't interfere with others' need to breathe clean air," said Teresa Walters, executive director of Emporian's for Drug Awareness. Clean Air Emporia is part of Emporian's of Drug Awareness, at www.emporiansfordrugawareness.com/cleanair/index.htm.
The ban will take effect on March 3rd, while the public vote would occur in April. The leaders of Emporia Open for Business presented City Manager Matt Zimmerman with a request to delay the ban until voters can voice their opinion.

This is a very hard book to rate because I am on the fence about it. I liked the story, but I absolutlet hated every single character except for the 2 cats, Dinah & Sylvester. I know that is very strange, but every character in this book pissed me off with their crap excuses. The main character was dumber than a box of rocks, her best friend was in denial, her mother was a drunk who had taken up with a perv, her boss ignored the bad stuff going on, her boyfriend was a POS, and the one person ...more

A teenage stripper happens to come across another stripper shooting up heroin and decides pretty much right there on the spot to try it. Instantly, she's hooked, can't live without it. This "magical potion" changed her life! This teenage girl grew up with an alcoholic mom and she makes it sound as if she does not want to go down that road, so instead alcohol she chooses an even lower way of life and shoots up heroin.

For a decade, students in my Junior English classes have come upon this slim volume and really enjoyed it. Make that LOVED it. Like A Child Called "It", this is a book that reluctant-reading teens can get through and feel the same rhapsody that adult readers find in literature. Because of this, I appreciate what the book can do; it can kick-start a reader.

Reading Beauty Queen was scary and deep. It was painful to read but I finished it in a sitting. I was still thinking about it over the next few days. Some say that this book should be banned or shouldn't have been published, but I think Linda Glovach put her own experience with drugs into a story so she can show people what drugs can do to you. Even though Beauty Queen was short (and disturbing), Glovach's powerful story will make sure that you will never consider doing drugs. Give this story a ...more

I read this book when I was in like 7th grade. I shouldn't have, since this book was so in depth when it came to drugs and exotic dancing but it made me really afraid to ever do drugs, and I think I kept that mentality since I still haven't. The good thing about this book is that it may be dated, but it feels real, it gives the feeling of someone who is hurting, someone who is truly going through this when they are writing it. This book may be tragic and kind of scary if you are young, but it is ...more

It's hard to fully grasp--and write, for that matter-- books written in diary form. Beauty Queen, however, surpasses the norm. The reader is overwhelmed with the rawness of the storyline like it was written like a normal novel. When Sam's heroin addiction gets worse and worse, the reader sees it even when Sam doesn't. Sam is stubborn yet optimistic, lovelorn, and absolutely obsessed with heroin. After she is introduced to it, she needs it to do everything. Dates, work, dinner, everything. It's l ...more

I really enjoyed the book Beauty Queen but I would like to state in my opinion no book about how drugs ruin young peoples lives have ever matched Ellen Hopkins' at least non that I have read so far. The story was touching and I felt myself feeling Sam's pain andsorrows right along with her. In conclusion i'd like to say I recommend this book to whomever. The reason I gave this book 4 stars instead of 5 at certain points I didn't uite understand what was going on.

This YA cautionary tale of drug use/abuse misses the mark. The tale, told in diary format, focuses on Sam - a 19 year old from a troubled home (absent father, alcoholic mother). What kept the story from feeling in any manner genuine was the fact that Sam's voice was in no way authentic. What 19 year old girl uses terms like: "floundering", baby-faced ex-con", or "long, shapely legs?" I've yet to encounter a teenager who expresses herslf this way. This was so distracting that it was impossible to ...more

This book is terrible. I've been trying to find more drug-related books for the students who like Tweak and Crank, and gave this one a try. What a mess! First of all, it's extremely dated - almost every "diary entry" contains a reference to a late 80s/early 90s song/actress/movie/etc. Most of which would go right over the heads of YA readers today since it's not anything that has stood the test of time.

The fact that the author got herself all geeked up on that shit again "to get a feel of the book" annoyed me all the more. Of course she wound up in the hospital "almost dead" ! What did she think would happen? People are morons sometimes.

I didn't care for this book. The idea and description of it are what intrigued me, but as I read farther I realized it was all very childish. The main character is struggling through very serious matters, but she writes about them as though they are nothing. Almost like a child would do. She was too immature and unrealistic. I can not imagine anyone dealing with things the way she did. It failed to keep me interested. In the end I just didn't care what happened.

She ends up to be a topless dancer, but won;;t get through it if she doesnt take her magic potion.(heroine) Sam turns out to be addict. she wakes up to it and sleeps to it.

I am not sure why my poor high schooler was forced to read this book because it was pretty horrid. Not only does it graphically describe how to take heroin but it divulges into the world of "exotic dancing". On the back of the book, the author states that in writing this book she "bought $1,500 worth of pure heroin-Brown Gold-and started shooting up ten times a day to get the feel of the book." As my student (and his father states) some people are just "stupid". :)

think of it as a "go ask alice" for the heroin generation. the main character is a bit two-dimensional and the plot is fairly predictable. moves at a very quick pace. recommended for reluctant readers (or those who just like experiencing this sort of thing vicariously, which is obviously safer than the real thing). evidently the author began shooting up 10 times a day to "get the feel of the book". yikes.

I read this YEARS ago, and it had the effect on me that I think most feel after "Go Ask Alice." (I hated that book, by the way, but that's a story for another time.)
Her descent into drugs felt so real, and the ending was heartbreaking. While the writing was juvenile at best, the message was strong, and for that it gets 3 stars.

Lady Gaga Documentary, 4th Album Now In the Works
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Lady Gaga has announced through Twitter that famed fashion photographer Terry Richardson will be producing a movie about her life. She also revealed that she is currently working on her fourth album to be called, "Artpop.'
The international pop star tweeted yesterday, "Merry Christmas little monsters! Terry Richardson ?@Terry_World? is making a ?#LadyGagaMOVIE? documenting my life, the creation of ARTPOP + you!"
While the superstar did not reveal details as far as a release date or title for the upcoming documentary, her Twitter post praised the controversial photographer who is known for his "sexually explicit content' in his work.
