Reader Friday: Who Was That Masked Man?
36 comments:
I would have said John McClane, but just saw the new Die Hard, and it was such a disappointment! So now I'll say I'd like to see Harry Callahan turn up with a sarcastic quip and his .44 Magnum!ReplyDelete
I agree with Kathryn about John McClane, but I'm going to have to go with Indiana Jones, probably one of the most fully developed screen heroes ever.ReplyDelete
Bryan Mills, from TAKEN & TAKEN 2.ReplyDeleteReplies
Pike. If you need someone to save the day and look cool in his aviators (even at night) while doing it, gotta be Joe Pike.ReplyDeleteReplies
I totally agree. Don't forget those red arrow tatts.Delete
I'm with Joe with Indiana Jones-- love the wry humor, bravery in the face of fear (think snakes), the ability to take a beating, the academia smarts, and probably a reason Joe wouldn't consider, he's easy on the eyes.ReplyDelete
Zorro. Especially the old Guy Williams version. Had a huge crush on him when I was a girl.ReplyDeleteReplies
Kris, Zorro (the fox so cunning and free) was my favorite as a kid. Also, I think the sword fight in the Ty Power version, where he takes on Basil Rathbone, is perhaps the best such contest in movie history.Delete
Agreed, Jim and PJ. Antonio Banderas, wasn't bad either. especially with Catherine Zeta Jones in tow. I fell in love with her in their first movie.Delete

I wouldn't mind that lovable rogue Han Solo coming to my rescue...ReplyDelete
Jack Ryan. He always had the perfect solution.ReplyDelete
How about Tarzan? Gets the job done without boring you with idle chat...ReplyDelete
Of course there's a little elephant mess to clean up...Replies
My first choice would be The Shadow, followed closely by Doc Savage. Bring the blood and thunder!ReplyDelete
- Amanda MFebruary 22, 2013 at 12:28 PM
Batman/Bruce Wayne, but only the version from the recent trilogy. I loved how human and relatable they made him, while still being the legendary hero that he is. Pretty much my favorite story, character, and hero ever.ReplyDelete
I'll take Elementary's Sherlock. I like his style.ReplyDelete
The Fox... Tzoro, Tesoro, Zorro.ReplyDelete
Growing up on the old series rerun on Saturdays after cartoons hooked me, every incarnation I've seen still gets me. Like an old world Batman.
Jason Bourne, although it would be important that he looked like Matt Damon but remained Jason Bourne. And if someone were about to do me harm, I would hope Mr. Reese and Finch (Person of Interest) had my back.ReplyDelete
Hercule Poirot. He used his "little gray cells" to solve crime. No fights, magical settings, and the snotty upper class to put up with.ReplyDelete
On the other hand, There is Phillip Marlowe, the exact opposite. I love him too.
A double-dip hell yes on Indiana Jones. I do tend to like my heroes brainy, so a nod to Jack Ryan and MacGuyver as well.ReplyDelete
And, of course . . . Batman.
Here's another continuing debate: Mannix, McGarrett or Magnum?ReplyDeleteReplies
Magnum, but only if he brings "the lads" and the Ferrari.ReplyDelete
Trunks optional.Delete
Repairman Jack. Great combo of superhero, action hero, and family hero.ReplyDelete
Oh! That's a hard question. I can't pick just one so I'll go for three: Adam Cartwright, MacGyver, Steve McGarrett.ReplyDelete
Oh yes, Dirty Harry! And of course Marshall Matt Dillon....oh the list could go on and on.ReplyDelete
I figure it depends on what KIND of chips are down. If I'm caught in the urban jungle of noir, I'd turn to Marlowe or the Charles couple. If I was facing the House on Un-American Activities Committee, I'd bring in Groucho.ReplyDelete
A combo of Tarzan and Spiderman....a hero that can swing between tall buildings and large trees but has the spidey sense to rescue me from lions, tigers, and bad writing habits.ReplyDelete
It would be Jim Kirk for me. Good ole 1960's Captain Kirk, not the movie version. Things always worked out when he was around.ReplyDelete

Domestic Violence & Violent Crimes
Domestic Violence Lawyer in Illinois
Attorneys for People Accused of Violent Crimes in Lake County and Other Areas
Being accused of violence— whether against a family member or anyone else — can be a frightening situation. You may be unsure what you can do to protect your rights and defend yourself against these charges in the criminal justice system.
The best thing for you to do is talk to an experienced attorney who understands how to respond to serious criminal charges. At Noonan Perillo Ltd., our team of Illinois criminal defense lawyers includes three former prosecutors, and we use our well-rounded knowledge to vigorously defend our clients.
Whether you've been charged with murder, reckless homicide, aggravated battery, domestic violence, assault, battery or any other violent crime, contact us at our offices in Lake County to schedule a free consultation.
Defending Clients Against All Violence-Related Charges
Our criminal defense attorneys represent clients charged with any crime involving accusations of violence. Under Illinois criminal statutes, violence includes actions that cause bodily harm, involve the use of dangerous or deadly weapons, or threaten physical force. Common criminal charges include the following:
If you have been charged with any violent crime, you will be facing serious consequences, including imprisonment, fines and a criminal record that can damage your future employment prospects.
Providing a Full Response to Domestic Violence Accusations
Accusations of domestic violence are a special category, often involving both criminal law and family law. Whether or not you have been charged with the crime of domestic violence, your accuser may decide to seek an order for protection — also known as a restraining order — from the family court.
You have a right to a hearing before any domestic violence protective order becomes permanent. This hearing is separate from a criminal trial. Our firm's family law attorney is also a former criminal prosecutor, so we have the well-rounded experience to represent you in all matters based on domestic violence accusations.
Don't hesitate to contact us to get an experienced advocate on your side as you face charges of domestic violence or any other violent crime.

Victoria Strauss -- Again, Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award
Via Publishers Lunch: Amazon.com and Penguin Group will sponsor a second Breakthrough Novel Award in 2009. (Hewlett-Packard, a co-sponsor of the previous award, will not return.) Here's the announcement on the Penguin website.
Once again, the winner will be published by Penguin, with an advance of $25,000, as long as he or she is willing to sign a non-negotiable publishing contract within 7 days of receiving notification of his/her win. Finalists receive an expense-paid trip to Seattle for the awards ceremony, and semi-finalists receive a review from PW (all prizes are described here). As before, only Amazon customers will be allowed to post reviews of contestants' entries.
There are some procedural changes, presumably as a result of issues encountered during last year's contest. Up to 10,000 entries will be allowed (double last year's 5,000), with 2,000 of these selected by "expert reviewers from Amazon" based on their pitch statements (a 300-word summary of the book--kind of like a query letter on steroids). 500 will be chosen as quarter-finalists by "Amazon Editors and Amazon Vine Reviewers" based on a review of 3,000-5,000 word excerpts (last year, the contest went directly to semi-finals, with 1,000 semi-finalists chosen). The quarter-finalists' excerpts will be displayed on Amazon for review and comment, and reviewed by PW (half the number of reviews PW provided last year).
Penguin editors will then winnow the quarter-finalists down to 100 semi-finalists, of which 3 will be selected as finalists (last year, there were 10 finalists). Finalists will receive detailed reviews of their manuscripts from an expert panel of authors, editors, and agents. Popular vote will determine the winner. (For full info, see the contest FAQ, and also the official contest rules).
I blogged twice about the Award last October. My reservations about people's choice-style awards for literature remain unchanged, with the additional proviso that entrants can expect to be spammed by Amazon with come-ons for its CreateSpace self-publishing service (to enter, you must first register with CreateSpace). That said, this is a solid competition with a worthwhile prize--and possible fringe benefits, as Penguin offered contracts not just to last year's winner, but to four of the finalists. Also, unlike many contests, the Breakthrough Novel Award doesn't tie your manuscript up in exclusive submission for a huge amount of time.
In fact, those possible fringe benefits may be the main reason to enter the contest. Last year's winner, Bill Loehfelm, was announced in early April, and his book was rushed to market, coming out just four months later, in August. A rush to publication isn't such a great thing; as frustrated as writers sometimes get with the year or more that elapses between contract signing and publication, there are good reasons for that long lead time. For the four finalists, whose books are due in 2009 and 2010, Penguin allowed a more normal timeline, making possible not just a more leisurely editing process, but also the important pre-book marketing that plays such a vital role in books' success. In my opinion, they got the better deal.

Thanks for the essay on the long lead time between signing a contract and getting published. It makes sense now.
- Joylene Nowell Butler said...
Thanks for the heads up, Victoria. I made it to the first round last year. Never one to sit back, I'll try again next year.
- Emma Larkins said...
Thanks for the information. Definitely something to look into! I'm glad you put the cautions in there, it's easy for newbies like me to get overly excited without thinking things through :)

Ever indulged in a little pizza with the kids or Italian food on date night, gone to bed at a perfectly respectable blood sugar, but then woken up in the middle of the night with a sky-high number that has you racing for the bathroom?
If you have, then you've encountered a dreaded delayed postprandial spike, which happens when food takes longer than insulin to enter your system. Usually it's the other way around. Fast-acting insulin starts working in 10-15 minutes, peaks at 1 to 2 hours, and then slowly tapers out. It's usually out of your system after 4 to 5 hours. But in a few special cases, the insulin finishes working long before the bulk of your food ever hits your system.
Typically this happens with high-carb meals that are also high in fat, like pizza, Chinese food, Mexican food, etc., because the fat delays the impact of all those carbs on your blood sugar. Sometimes even super high-carb meals, like some Italian dishes, which have a lot of carbs but is low on the glycemic index, and perhaps not as much fat, can still take hours to digest. According to endocrinologist Dr. Lauren Golden, that's because "the food essentially sits in a ball in your stomach. The more carbs you have, the longer it takes to digest." Dr. Golden and her team at the Naomi Berrie Diabetes Center recommend using a so-called "dual wave bolus" for any meal with carbs over 70 grams.
Ever heard of the dual wave? Medtronic has actually trademarked that term…
The deal is that most modern insulin pumps now have an option for changing how a bolus is delivered to deal with this latent effect. They allow you to set a certain percentage of your total meal bolus to be given immediately, with the rest to be slowly delivered over a period of time. In Medtronic pumps, it's called a dual wave bolus, and as noted, that company has cornered the market on that terminology. So in Animas and Cozmo pumps, it's called a combo bolus, and in the OmniPod, it's called an extended bolus.
Despite best intentions, using this setting is tricky. Personally, I shamelessly use a regular meal bolus for everything under the sun. But I almost always suffer the consequences with a middle-of-the-night run to the bathroom when a sudden surge of carbs hits my system that my insulin is no longer prepared to handle. This is often after sliding into bed with a low or almost-low blood sugar because of too much upfront insulin.
Want to brush up on this technique? Warning: it can be very tricky to know exactly how long some food will take to absorb, so this is likely going to take quite a bit of practice. Different high-fat, high-carb meals will affect you differently. First recommendation is to try it while using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), even if only temporarily, so that you can literally see what's happening with your BG in real-time. Many clinics now have CGMs that patients can check out as loaners for a week, so you can test out how you react to certain foods.
Kelley Champ Crumpler, a diabetes nurse educator and type 1 herself, shares this tidbit: "At the ADA Scientific Sessions in 2009, I attended a talk discussing CGM, and some slides were shown on extended bolusing. Of the T1s wearing CGM that ate pizza, many were still absorbing the carbs (hence experiencing the glucose rising) after 8 HOURS!! What the frappuccino?! This was VERY eye-opening. So for pizza, I have patients extend their bolus for at least 6 hours to prevent this!"
What the frappuccino is right!
If you're just starting to explore this advanced pumping technique, give the 60/40 rule a try. Upfront, set your pump to deliver 60% of your bolus at the meal, with the remaining 40% being delivered over the next four hours. Some people might find that too little, so you can also try out 70/30 or 80/20, depending on how what you're eating. But don't just ride it out — you have to fine-tune with lots of testing. Kelley recommends checking every 30-60 minutes when testing the split-bolus method.
"An excursion of 30-50 mg/dL is acceptable," Kelley says, "But a rise of greater than 2 mg/dL per minute is too fast, and I would consider more insulin."
Another advanced pumping tool I've been looking into is the square wave or extended bolus (again, the name depends on your pump company). Less common than the dual wave, it's a constant drip of your bolus insulin over a period of time, with no upfront insulin given. Since at least some food hits the system right away, this doesn't work for a lot of scenarios. However, holiday parties (which are just around the corner — November is next week, ya know!) are a perfect opportunity to employ this tactic.
"The square wave bolus is good for a cocktail party, grazing, or if you will be eating a constant amount of food over a period of time, like popcorn for 1+ hours at a movie," says Caroline Bohl, CDE and registered dietician at the Naomi Berrie Diabetes Center.
Of course, just because you're not on an insulin pump doesn't necessarily mean you're not still facing this problem. If you're using multiple daily injections with Lantus or Levemir, you can still partake in extending your insulin action. Gary Scheiner, type 1 PWD and famous CDE at Integrated Diabetes Services, recommends using one of the following options:
Mastering the dual wave bolus looks like it could be aggravating… Good thing there are many ways to handle heavy carb/fat-laden meals, with the dual wave being just one of them. Some folks use a temporary basal rate to handle sneaky spikes. Personally, I'm not sure a four-hour dual wave does much for pizza. Then there are times where I seem to spike no matter how much insulin I give or how much I extend!
But Kelley has some words of wisdom: "Diabetes is like a fingerprint, so different for all of us. What works for me won't work for you, or for my hubby [also a PWD]. A lot of advanced pumping is trial and error, so if it doesn't work the first time, don't get frustrated. Just make adjustments the next time! You are in an even better position if you have, and wear, a CGM, as you will know immediately if something isn't working."
Although pizza and Mexican food are not on my regular menu, they are foods I enjoy and don't want to give up permanently — but sure as heck don't want to suffer the late-night wake-up calls either! Assuming you indulge every once in awhile, how do you handle the ramifications from high-carb meals? Are you pro-active with your bolus settings or do you just "ride the highs"?

Going to Nursing School at an Older Age - page 2
I have been planning to go to nursing school (direct entry MSN) & have been progressing in that direction. The other day I was having a conversation with a coworker (a non-practicing nurse!) and she said, now at your age (I am in... Read More
- 4Jul 24, '10 by kcochraneMany of the "younger" candidates aren't going to stay in nursing for 40 years. Even if they stay in nursing, they will probably move on from bedside nursing. I was 42 when I got my LPN and 47 when I got my RN. I probably have at least 20 years to work.
Most of my classmates were 30's, 40's - some 50's. Schools don't care as long as you have the $$$ and the grades. I had no issue with getting a job either.
Right now there is not a nursing shortage, but we do need good people to be nurses.
- 1Jul 24, '10 by ThePrincessBride, BSNQuote from A4L4SThere is a difference between a 40 year old and a 70 year old, though. Forty is still relatively young, whereas seventy isn't. At forty, you still have a good twenty-five years left of working. Seventy, you are pretty much at that age to retire. If I were an employer, I would be VERY hesitant to hire a seventy-something. The forty year old? Not so much.If it is a school that goes strictly by your GPA etc then age wouldn't even be considered. Most of the people in my class are in their 40s and 50s.....and they are doing just fine. One is pushing 70. I don't see why they would care how long you plan on being a nurse after you go to school. What about the young ones who get into and realize they hate nursing? Or quit after 1-2 years to stay home with children. No one knows what will happen with each person. I work with a 78yo nurse who has no plans on retiring any time soon....so there is your 30+ years on the job for ya!
If nursing schools is what you want to do then go for it! Don't let people like that hold you down.
- 1Jul 24, '10 by SnowStar4Quote from ThePrincessBrideThere is a difference between a 40 year old and a 70 year old, though. Forty is still relatively young, whereas seventy isn't.

The forty year old? Not so much.
Oh, I know that! I highly doubt she will find a job. As horrible as it sounds I sure wouldn't hire her myself. At least she will become a licensed RN and no one can take that from her. But, the OP was asking about whether it was wrong to take a seat in the school from a younger person, which I say everyone has the right to an education.
- 5Jul 24, '10 by sunnycalifRNTo the OP,
your friend's comments are bull excrement, IMHO. You can be a great nurse at any age, 18 to whatever!! Nursing programs cannot discriminate based on your age, so you need not worry . . . I started nursing at age 54! I say "Go for it"!! Nursing is a great profession!!
- 0Jul 24, '10 by reimundijanetIt's great to have more nurses no matter the age as long as you got the passion for it. I started my nursing career at 28 after raising my 3 children and it was a great challenge and it's only been 2 years and it's been very fulfilling and wonderful experience and yes I started a little bit later in the race but I'm way ahead of a lot other girls that started nursing right out of high school and also I only got an ADN and have way more field training than the girls that been studying for 4 years. So your nursing career is what you make of it not what is expected of you.
- 2Jul 24, '10 by Chinook2Quote from AmaurosisFugaxMaybe I have a jaded view of the administration of nursing schools, but I would think that the primary factor as to who is admitted to a nursing program is how successful they are likely to be on the NCLEX (based on prior gpa). The program's accreditation, and to a large extent reputation, are directly tied to its NCLEX pass rates. They have a far greater interest in selecting candidates who they think will pass the NCLEX on the first try rather than in selecting candidates based on potential length of career. I doubt that anyone tracks how long a nursing school's graduates stay in nursing, but in most states if a school falls below 80% NCLEX pass rate they lose accreditation.Is it really socially more desirable to prefer younger candidates? And does this factor into admissions decisions?
As an aside: As I was thinking about your post I dug around looking for studies that look at correlations between NCLEX first time pass rate and demographic/educational factors. Most seem conclude that most demographic factors like gender have no effect on NCLEX first time pass rate and age may have a marginal effect (students over 23 may do slightly better). By far the strongest indicator of future NCLEX pass rate is (no big surprise here) nursing school gpa.
So I'd ask your friend if she would rather have nursing schools turn out nurses that are less knowledgeable (as measured by the NCLEX) but who will practice for longer or nurses who practice for a shorter amount of time with more knowledge.
- 3Jul 24, '10 by tokidokifantasyMy mom was 57 yr old when she got her RN and it took her long time to pass the test since English was her second language. Now she works for the state hospital and is not looking forward to retiring until her body gives up. so, don't give up!! If being a nurse is your dream, then go for it. Have no regrets!^^
- 1Jul 24, '10 by PostOpPrincessI saw go for it. You will bring the maturity and life experience. That is great. The one "discriminatory" thing you won't experience is your patients questioning your knowledge--"are you sure you're not a kid?" "Are you sure you're old enough to be a nurse?" I fought that for years, and only now...reverse age discrimination? LOL.
Anyway, you should go for it!
- 5Jul 24, '10 by wannabecnlIt's awesome to read all the responses from people like the OP and myself, especially those who have finished school in their 40s and are out there working.
I just turned 40 and am in my first year of a 2-year direct entry masters program. Our class ranges from a few 23-year-olds all the way up to about 54. I had a young ICU nurse (probably in her late 20s) tell me the other day that she loves to work with the more "mature" students because we bring a lot of experience and diligence to the job. She said she found our demographic to be very competent, with life experience that changed how we interact with the patients. I remarked that we are in this program because we want to be, on our own dime and on our own time, often away from family and our lives on hold. I'm more invested now than I ever was as an undergrad.
Now, I have a huge amount of respect for the "kids" in the program, most of whom have a great bedside manner and a lot more energy than the old-timers like me. I just know that if I had done this in my 20s, I would have been a totally insufferable, arrogant, doc-hating nurse. I've learned a bit in the past few decades, and assuming I do manage to find a job, I hope that I'll be a better nurse for having waited.
As for being a student at this age, it's tough. I'm a good student, always liked school, etc., but I'm tired pretty much all the time. Date nights with my husband? Once a month if we're lucky, and then probably just dinner so I can get home and study. I've been blessed to be home for a lot of my kids' stuff, but the reality is, I am missing a lot more at home now than I would have if I had gone to school when I was younger.
Still, I believe God has a plan, and the timing is part of it. And let's be realistic: it's not like we're going to get any younger! Go for it, but be realistic about what you can do on the side (almost nothing, but you'll find your outlets to stay sane). Good luck!!!
- 0Jul 24, '10 by Hospice Nurse LPNI'm 53 and am in a LPN/BSN bridge program. One of my classmates in 58. We'll be 55 and 60 when we graduate and will probably work another 10 years. As far as taking seats from younger students...oh well.

So earlier this week, maybe last, I joked on the air that a way to handle these TSA pat-downs would be to show up at the airport wearing a speedo. Well this was just a JOKE with serious undertones that I believed in. But I just thought it was a funny concept especially if you were to think of me in a speedo with my 300 plus pound body strutting through the airport without any shame in my game maybe even a skip in my step. But I saw this post on Facebook today and couldn't believe it. A guy actually went thru security at the airport just wearing a speedo. It was GREAT! Great, to see other people who not only think like I do, but have the courage to actually go out there and do it.

Spy Shots: 2010 BMW 5 series gets new nostrils
by John Neff (RSS feed) on Jun 18th, 2008 at 11:27AM
Click above for high-res gallery of 2010 BMW 5 series spy shotsThe current BMW 5 series is a bit awkward in appearance, but it appears that the propeller brand will be getting away from the Bangle-inspired creases and concavities of the current model with the car's next redesign. Caught testing on the 'Ring recently, the next-gen 5 series is sporting a new grille with nostrils large enough to drive a 1 series through. Seemingly inspired by the mondo nose of the BMW CS concept, the new 5 series will also apparently sport a smoother overall shape that gets us back to BMW sedans of the past. We... Read More

Washington State faces a growing crisis of student homelessness that is causing many of our children to fall through the cracks in school. Imagine living in your car as a child and being unable to complete your homework at night as the dome light in your car burns out. This is a true story, and tragically is not far from the reality faced every day by tens of thousands of Washington children who are are living on the streets, in homeless shelters, motels, under bridges, or moving from place to place due to economic instability.
While education is the way out of poverty and toward a bright and secure future for these kids, data shows that Washington's homeless students are struggling to succeed in school. It's time for our state to focus on solving this crisis and ensure we are doing all we can to help ALL our kids get on a path to graduation.
The Homeless Children Education Act (SB 6074, HB 2373), sponsored by Sen. David Frockt (D, Seattle) and Rep. Kevin Parker (R, Spokane), and supported by homeless youth advocates across Washington State, is the first step to addressing this crisis. If passed by the legislature, the HCEA would improve data collection on the educational outcomes of homeless students, and provide teachers and school staff with improved training to help them identify and serve homeless students in school.
Improved data collection will help schools, community organizations, and policy leaders target effective solutions to help homeless students succeed in school. Improved training will help teachers and staff bring homeless students out of the shadows and provide these kids with the stability and support that will help them graduate.
A crisis this serious, with children's' futures at stake, demands bipartisan action from our leaders, regardless of ideology. Inaction will not solve the problem, and waiting will mean more vulnerable kids continue to fail in school. It is time to start a conversation in our state about how to best serve our growing population of homeless students, and to take the first step to improve data and training by passing the Homeless Education Act!

Daniel Craig Gossip
Daniel Craig gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Bond Spectre's first day
Last week, the Sony hacked email leak exposed the budget drama unfolding behind the scenes of Bond 24, now titled Spectre. A messy script was also revealed. According to Gawker, the movie opens strong but needs some serious retooling in the third act. Full Story
Sony Hack reveals budget drama on Bond 24
Fallout from the Sony Hack continues, and this time it's the new Bond movie, Spectre, caught in the crosshairs. Emails between the president of MGM, Jonathan Glickman, Bond producer Barbara Broccoli, and Sony executives, including co-chief Amy Pascal—is anyone having a worse week than Amy Pascal?—reveal that the new Bond movie is already way over budget, even though it just started filming on Monday. Full Story
Bond 24: Spectre
I like Bond movies but I'm no Bond historian. Spectre, the title of Bond 24, just announced today, will mean something to Bond nerds though the way "alohomora" means something to Potterheads (me). For many, a Bond film is an Event. My best friend Fiona is big on Bond. She'll see it the first weekend. Full Story
Daniel shorter
Daniel Craig was wearing his hair slightly longer for a while when he was on Broadway last year for Betrayal. Last night he stepped out in New York for an event at the Museum of Modern Art with a much shorter style. You like it? Word is he's starting work soon on the next Bond. They're currently working on casting some of the female characters. Full Story
Rachel & Daniel's night out
Wenn, Gilbert Carrasquillo/ Splash
We don't see these two very often. They spend time in New York but they don't wave themselves in front of the paps so when they do step out, it's like a gift. Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig were at the Night of Opportunity gala in NYC last night. The organisation helps low income high performance students access educational opportunities that might otherwise not be available. Full Story
Rachel, Daniel, Madonna, Pussy Riot, and Blondie
Janet Mayer/ Brian Prahl/ Splash, DON EMMERT/ Theo Wargo/ Getty
There are certain words we are not allowed to say on daytime television. But what if one of those words is part of a proper name? We can say pussy willow if we're actually referring to pussy willows. I'm not sure if we'd be allowed to say Pussy Riot when referring to the band. Anyway, Pussy Riot was part of the Amnesty International benefit concert last night in Brooklyn. Full Story
Gossip Nostalgia: Jude, Sienna, and Daniel Craig
Dan Kitwood/ Dave Hogan/ Dave M. Benett/ Getty
Remember when Jude Law got caught f-cking with his nanny Daisy while engaged to Sienna Miller? And then Sienna got back at him by f-cking Daniel Craig? Well we're reliving it now because Jude testified at that never-ending phone hacking trial in London where it was revealed that Sienna and Daniel (who starred in Layer Cake together – their chemistry was HOT) were actually carrying on for a while and she'd call Daniel while was with Jude and leave him messages like, "I can't talk. Full Story
Daniel Craig's holiday pout
Wenn, Bryan Bedder/ Getty
Ever since I read that article about Daniel Craig's pout, I can't stop seeing it. Click here for a refresher. Last night Daniel was out in New York at the Artists For Peace & Justice Holiday Benefit. He hung out with Susan Sarandon and Paul Haggis. Full Story
Daniel Craig's pout
The other day I read an article about Daniel Craig's pout, and how it's distracting in his non-Bond movies. Then I was flipping channels on the weekend and Skyfall was on. He does pout. Hard. Is that just the shape of his mouth? Or do you think he's practised his pout for years? Does he practise it like Posh practises posing? We are not supposed to think of Daniel Craig like Victoria Beckham because he's Serious and Private. Full Story
Rachel & Daniel on stage
AKM-GSI/ Splash
They are the Brange for Sarah from Cinesnark. So seeing them holding hands on stage after the first night previews of Betrayal on Broadway will be like porn for her. Me I'm fully into their 70s wardrobe. That vest he's wearing is hilarious. Full Story
Rachel & Daniel for Sarah
Once in a while I need to be nice to Sarah from Cinesnark because she thinks I put up ugly pictures of Benedict Cumberbatch on purpose. It's just...really hard to find a good photo of him. Seriously. Anyway, Sarah has the Chicago sads this week because all the thumbs are down after Roger Ebert's passing. Full Story
Daniel Craig's Dragon Drama
Despite generally positive reviews and five Oscar nominations, the English-language adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo didn't bowl over the box office. Still, Sony announced they would go ahead with the sequels, which to me was always the point of remaking the Swedish films anyway. Full Story
This is their work ethic
Lee Brown/ Splash
I must be the only loser to actually GAIN weight during the flu. Here are Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig yesterday heading to the gym in heavy snow in New York instead of ordering up Sandra Bullock's While You Were Sleeping, eating bread and tomato bisque, and watching from under the covers. Full Story
Rachel & Daniel date night
TK/ Splash
If Sarah had a Robsten, it would be Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig. During the Golden Globes live-blog, I could feel her, all the way in Chicago, wanting to turn the entire conversation into a mega gush about her favourite couple. They are indeed hot. And she makes him so. Here they are in New York last night, hand in hand, at the premiere of Cat On A Hot Tin Roof (Scarlett Johansson). Full Story

Sci-Fi, Fantasy & Horror Reviews
Book Review: Soulbound
By Sandy Amazeen Jul 9, 2012, 7:23 GMT
A brand-new fantasy with a kick-butt heroine from the author of The Chronicles of Vladimir TodTril is a world where Barrons and Healers are Bound to each other: Barrons fight and Healers cure their Barrons\' wounds in the ongoing war with the evil Graplar King. Seventeen-year-old Kaya was born a Healer, but she wants to fight. In Tril, and at Shadow Academy, where she is sent to learn to heal, ...more
In Kayas world, there are the Unskilled or ordinary folks, Barrons who are born fighters and Healers. Barrons and Healers are Soulbound in pairs at birth with the Barron protecting the Healer and the Healer keeping the Barron healthy but thanks to a hundred year war against King Darrek and his army of Graplars, there are few Healers left. The Graplars are foul smelling, toothy creatures that have been searching out and killing Healers rendering Barrons more susceptible to injuries and death. Kayas parents, both Barrons who lost their Healers went against the law when they fell in love and had a daughter. The only reason they survived was because they hid what they were to live among the Unskilled. Their continued survival is contingent upon Kaya attending training at Shadow Academy, bounding to Trayton whose Healer is dead and staying out of trouble.
Even though she never met him, Kaya is heartbroken to learn her Barron died several months earlier but has little time to grieve as the Academy increasingly comes under Graplar attack. After several narrow escapes, Kaya begs Trayton to teach her fighting skills, a plea he ignores insisting that it is his job to protect her. Unfortunately, it is a decision that will come back to haunt them both as well as Darius, Kayas instructor. As Kaya investigates how the Graplars are gaining access to the school, she discovers madness in the most unexpected places and realizes there is more to Darius then she had been led to believe.
First of a new young adult series, the world of Tril offers a few interesting twists and a solid, brisk pace. There is the obligatory mean bitch-girl classmate and the usual formula teen romance issues but despite that, this is an entertaining read. With Healers the target, Kayas unwillingness to sit back and be the damsel in distress is laudable though she still needs constant rescuing. The culture and world building are not particularly outstanding but the storyline is strong enough to make up for it and likely be filled in more with the next title.

"We eat these here all the time too. I keep a zip locked bag with cold ones. I buy them frozen, and to add a little "zing" to them, I sprinkle on some Molly McButter, and some chili pepper flakes and a little garlic. (Great with real butter, but we are trying to keep the cals low :) Great snack to keep on hand.better than sunflower seeds........"

Fairbanks teens waiting in line for 11 days to get Potter book
Forget piddling around a mere few days for an iPhone. Two sisters are in the midst of an 11-day vigil for this summer's hottest, "must have"...
The Associated Press
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Forget piddling around a mere few days for an iPhone. Two sisters are in the midst of an 11-day vigil for this summer's hottest, "must have" low-tech phenomenon.
Chloe and Sydney Bostian started camping out Tuesday in front of Gulliver's Books in Fairbanks to be among the first Alaskans to find out their hero's fate in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows."
The seventh and final Harry Potter novel from author J.K. Rowling will be released at midnight, July 21.
What sort of sorcery could make teenage girls live outside a bookstore for 11 days?
"It's just so addicting. You think you have it all figured out and then everything switches up on you," said Chloe, 18. "It's the big finale, and all the questions are going to be answered."
They have reserved four copies of the book, but the wait isn't about that. They wanted to beat their friend, Graham Tordoff, 18, to the front of the line.
"He beat me once and I've been in line first ever since," Chloe said. "We're pretty die-hard."
The girls are living out of their parent's camper, parked in the bookstore's parking lot. During the day their parents — who are taking turns staying with them — move it to the customer parking area, but at night it comes right up to the store entrance — the front of the line.
To help pass time, they browse the bookstore and friends bring them food so they don't have to leave the line. To refresh their memories, they're planning to watch the Harry Potter movies on a laptop computer and they playing trivia games, based on Harry Potter tales, of course.
"It's just really fun and people come by and talk to you," said Sydney, 11. "The excitement just builds as it gets closer."
She's been dividing her time between playing card games, taking naps and reading.
"I'm really into Charlie Bone at the moment, so I've been reading that," she said.
What happened to Harry?
"I think they're kind of equal at the moment," she said.
But even an occasional aside to Charlie Bone — a boy with magical powers — the girls' loyalty to the Potter books can't be interrupted, not even to take a few hours to go the movie theater to see the fifth film in the series, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," which opened Wednesday.
Tordoff, who has known Chloe since they were toddlers, has pre-ordered two copies of the book. He got in line after the girls and plans to be there sporadically — he has a job — until the release.
"Chloe and her sister were first, I suppose. It's depressing," he said, laughing. "She earned it; she's good."
Maria Papp, manager of Gulliver's Books in Fairbanks, said the releases of the last Harry Potter book only drew crowds about three days before its it came out.
"They took us totally by surprise," she said of the sisters taking up residence outside her store. "These gals will be the first ones in the door and I'm sure they'll be pretty ready to go home by then."
She said the store will have more than enough Potter books to go around, so there's no need to panic.
Gulliver's is selling the book for a 47 percent discount off the retail price. Combined with the expense of a party being held at the store the Friday night ahead the release, the store will be out about $5,000, she said, but it's worth it.
"It's a community event, and we just want people to be able to come here and get the book," she said.
Publisher Scholastic Corp. is printing 12 million copies of the final installment, a series record, said spokeswoman Kyle Good. Printing has been on the rise with every book, she said, up from 50,000 copies printed on the first run of the first novel, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone." There are 121.5 million copies of all the books in circulation throughout the U.S., she said.
Amazon.com Inc. said more than 2 million people worldwide have pre-ordered "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," the seventh and final volume in J. K. Rowling's series. In the United States, the Web retailer said the book has logged more than 1.2 million pre-orders, breaking the company's record of 919,000 set by the previous installment.
At Gulliver's, it's the festivities that are the main attraction, Chloe said. People show up in costume — Chloe's going as Mrs. Figg, the cat lady — and there are games, crafts, food and the occasional unicorn.
Chloe said she expected some company around the beginning of the week, and by the day before the release, the line should be wrapped around the building, judging from past releases.
"It's just so fun to stay in line 'cause everyone gets so into it," she said. "I'm just enjoying this because it's my last summer before I go to college." — — —

I'm always concerned that people have to be reminded to follow basic firearm safety rules. It seems like it should be common sense, especially rule 1: Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.
While other safety rules are equally important, following this one would prevent all injuries pursuant from breaking the other firearm safety rules. If a gun is pointed in a safe direction, even if it is unintentionally fired, no one would get hurt.
The problem is there is no single safe direction when handling firearms. If you're in the first floor of a multiple story home or building, up is not a safe direction as you don't know who or what is above you, just as down is not safe if you're higher up in the building.
Gun handlers must constantly be aware of their location, as well as everything that is going on around them to ensure that the firearm being handled always points in a safe direction. This includes when attaching or removing a firearm in a holster, and never forget that the safe direction can change, quickly.

Dodge, parry and block are all independent events (http://www.tankspot.com/forums/f63/3...bat-table.html)
If you dodge an attack, you take zero damage. If you parry an attack, you also take zero damge and your next autoattack swing is sped up a little bit. If you block an attack, a fixed amount of damage is removed from the hit you take (http://www.tankspot.com/forums/f63/41527-blocking.html). Dodge and parry are called avoidance, and block is a form of mitigation.
Using that, if you have 18% dodge, 18% parry, and 18% block, you have a combined 36% chance to take no damage, and then 18% chance to block some of the damage of a hit. Dodge, parry, and block do not work on most magical effects (though they work on the melee attacks of elementals which deal fire/frost/whatever damage)
Parry does not depend on weapon at all except in that if you parry an attack, you get that little bit of speedup on your next autoattack.

in the same chapter where paul says women don't teach a man, he also says do not do something to cause another to stumble. Maybe that is part of the dynamic that God had in mind in saying don't teach men. they- or some of them- cannot receive or accept truth coming from a woman. Maybe the office of chaplain, as in a hospital, is different. When a man, no matter how manly or proud, has been knocked down by adversity, maybe he can accept as mercy and help words of truth and comfort coming from a woman.
also, it is so easy for people, men or women, to slip into the attitude that what is more public is more important, and that teaching adults is more important than teaching children. Maybe that is why God told women to stay out of the pulpit, so that someone (ok , it's us women) would be on the job with the children and in the one to one situations, and of course living God's mercy.

Physician Agrees to Settle False Claims to Medicare for Services to Nursing Home Residents
Baltimore, Maryland - William Crittenden, M.D., of Kensington, Maryland, has agreed to pay the United States $225,000 to settle claims that he submitted false claims to federal health benefits programs over a twenty month period between January 1, 2003 and November 30, 2005.
The settlement was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein and Special Agent in Charge Nicholas DiGiulio, Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services, Philadelphia Region which includes Maryland.
According to the settlement agreement, from January 1, 2003 to November 30, 2005, Dr. Crittenden submitted fraudulent claims to the Medicare program in connection with his visits to residents in nursing homes. Dr. Crittenden had a doctor-patient relationship with the Medicare beneficiaries in nursing homes or other assisted living facilities in Maryland. For each of these Medicare beneficiaries, Dr. Crittenden established a treatment plan that involved seeing each patient monthly. The billing codes that Dr. Crittenden used for these appointments were time sensitive and were intended to reflect the amount of time that the physician spent with the patient. The codes that Dr. Crittenden used reflected the expenditure of more time than he devoted, on some days indicating that the amount of time exceeded the ordinary work day, and on more than one occasion, exceeded 24 hours.
Dr. Crittenden denies the allegations.
Enacted during the Civil War, the False Claims Act is the government's primary civil tool to combat fraud and abuse in federal programs and procurement. The Act allows the government to recover triple the amount of its actual damages, plus a civil penalty of $5,500 to $11,000 for each false claim and permits the payment of a portion of any settlement or judgment under the Act to individuals who bring fraud to the attention of authorities.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein commended Assistant U.S. Attorney Allen F. Loucks, who handled the case.

How to Look Younger
Brighten up your complexion and send pesky age spots packing with this smart advice
By Woman's Day Staff
The Makeup Trick
Caking on a thick layer of foundation or concealer will only attract attention to an uneven complexion. A better bet is to combine a dime-size amount of a matte gel bronzer with your daily liquid foundation and smooth the mixture over your face, says Emily Kate Warren, YouBeauty.com makeup expert. "The bronzer subtly darkens the rest of your complexion so spots blend in," she explains. One to try: The Body Shop Honey Bronze Bronzing Gel for Face ($14; TheBodyShop-usa.com).

Bank Stocks Rise as Investors Shrug: Government Shutdown Winners
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- New York Community Bancorp (NYCB) was the winner on Tuesday among stocks of large U.S. banks, with shares rising over 2.5% to close at 15.48.
The broad indices showed plenty of strength after the federal government shutdown at midnight, owing to the inability of the House of Representatives and the Senate to agree on a budget to send to President Obama. The
Dow Jones Industrial Average
Bank stocks fared quite well, with the KBW Bank Index (I:BKX) rising 0.7% to 62.68, with all 24 index components showing gains.
Investors shrugged off the latest game of budget brinksmanship in Washington, and discounted the possibility of a default by the government in mid-October, as the market yield on 10-year Treasury bonds was up only three basis points to 2.65%. U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew in a letter to Speaker of the House John Boehner (R., Ohio) last Wednesday said the "extraordinary measures" the Treasury was taking to maintain its borrowing power will "be exhausted no later than Oct. 17," unless the $16.7 trillion federal debt limit is raised.With the budget deadline having passed, hundreds of thousands of federal workers will be furloughed, although critical government services, including Social Security, air traffic control and the U.S. Post Office will continue to function. Still, the government shutdown can have quite an effect on the economic recovery. Deutsche Bank market strategist David Bianco in a note to clients on Sunday wrote that "Perhaps 0.02% of GDP is threatened every day the government is shut, likely less the shorter the closure and more the longer." That is, of course, a small daily figure, but with the U.S. economy growing at an annual rate of 2.5% according to the latest Bureau of Economic Analysis estimate, the shutdown could even affect Federal Reserve stimulus policy. The good news for investors on Tuesday was a report from the Institute for Supply Management that its Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) for September increased to 56.2% from 55.7% in August, coming in ahead of the consensus estimate of 55, among economists polled by Thomson Reuters. The ISM said "Economic activity in the manufacturing sector expanded in September for the fourth consecutive month, and the overall economy grew for the 52nd consecutive month."

Hundreds of thousands of people gathered on the streets of the Iranian capital and cities around the country to mark the 35th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution.
In Tehran, huge crowds thronged central Azadi square on Tuesday for a speech by President Hassan Rouhani, his first major address to the public since his election in August.
Rouhani launched into the traditional anti-US rhetoric despite a significant political shift in Tehran, which resulted in his election last year as a leader pursuing a policy of outreach to the West.
"The people's vote had no role in running this country. This was a huge humiliation," Rouhani said, referring to the period when Iran was a constitutional monarchy. "People wanted their views to be an influence [but] the big powers were interfering in the internal affairs of this country ... The Americans thought the country of Iran belongs to them. They interfered everywhere even on security issues."

Soraya Lennie: In Pictures: Iran marks 1979 hostage crisis

Roxane Farmanfarmaian : The Islamic Republic at 35: A matter of interests
The revolution was set in motion in 1979 after a siege began some 10 months following the fall of the US-allied shah.
Radical students stormed the US embassy, taking 52 people hostage. They were released after 444 days, and the seige ended Washington's diplomatic relations with Tehran.
More recently, Iran reached an interim agreement with Western powers to curb its nuclear programme, which the West suspects is meant to develop a nuclear bomb.
But while Tuesday's mood in Tehran is one of celebration, Al Jazeera's Soraya Lennie reported that Iranians still feel there is a lot that needs to be done to strengthen relations between the US and Iran.
"Yes, they want better relations with the United States, they're happy with the government and the diplomatic push from the government, but there's still so much anger in the people towards the history of Iran and the United States," Lennie said.
The slogan's of Tuesday's celebration express Iran's current feelings towards the US and include "we'll stand to the end", "we will stand up against and we are ready for all options on the table", and "we are ready for the great battle".
The first slogan is "obviously a reference to the United States and external pressures on Iran", Lennie said.
The second one is "of course a reference to President Obama, John Kerry and all options on the table including military ones", she said.
Lennie added that the third, like the first slogan, is also about external pressures on Iran.
Missile test
Activities to mark the anniversary come a day after Iran "successfully tested" two missiles, according to the official IRNA news agency.
Iran's ballistic missile programme has long been a source of concern for Western nations because it is capable of striking its arch-enemy Israel.
"The new generation of ballistic missile with a fragmentation warhead, and a Bina laser-guided surface-to-surface and air-to-surface missile, have been successfully tested," Hossein Dehgan, the defence minister, said.
He said the new ballistic missile could "evade anti-missile systems" and was capable of "great destruction".

When I first decided I'd like a doula to help me through labor and delivery, my friends, family and even my husband had questions. First and foremost: "What in the world is that?" The answer: A doula is a childbirth professional who's trained to help expectant moms like me through the birthing experience. A type of labor support coach, doulas provide emotional, physical and informational support during labor and delivery, answer questions throughout pregnancy, help expectant moms prepare their birth plan and communicate it to health care providers, and some even offer postpartum support. That all sounded good -- here's how I made the decision.
Why would I need a labor doula? As a first time mom, I find comfort in knowing someone who has been through it all before will be with me from start to finish -- unlike a doctor or midwife, or even nurses, who will be busy tending to other patients. I also believe a doula will help me feel more confident going through the process, which could be beneficial, considering that a recent study actually found that women who feared childbirth had longer labors than those that did not.
Does a doula mean you're having a natural childbirth? Maybe, but for me, not necessarily. While it's true that many moms-to-be enlist a doula to get through a natural childbirth, I honestly haven't decided whether I'll go for the epidural or not, and my doula supports that. I do know it's best to stay home as long as possible when laboring so you don't get to the hospital too early, which can lead to interventions. (No surprise, but I'd like to avoid unnecessary interventions and a c-section, if possible!) My doula will come to my home once labor starts and help me decide when it's best to go to the hospital. Once there, she'll help me understand how every intervention and decision will affect my labor and act as my advocate and information resource every step of the way.
Isn't that your husband's job? Doulas are also a wealth of knowledge when it comes to positions, breathing techniques, massage and other comfort measures that will (hopefully) make labor easier. Even if my husband learned all of these things in a childbirth class, the chance he'll remember every little thing when it comes down to it isn't that likely. Of course, he'll be by my side and will be be an important part of the process. In fact, my doula will be able to help him get involved by telling him the best things to do at every stage.
Is there any proof that doulas help?
Studies have shown that the support of a doula decreases the likelihood of a c-section by 50 percent, labor will be 25 percent shorter, requests for epidurals are reduced by 60 percent and the use of oxytocin decreases by 40 percent -- and frankly, those are numbers that I like to see.

Happy Bloomsday!
Today I am in my beloved Dublin and can celebrate Bloomsday; however, I am without a costume so my Edwardian döppelganger will have to once again stand in for me, dressed in her best, and ready to celebrate all things Joycean on this Bloomsday.
Bloomsday is the day on which the life of Irish writer James Joyce is celebrated. It is annually observed on 16 June, the date on which the events of his masterwork Ulysses take place. It is said Joyce chose this date for the novel because it is the date on which he enjoyed his first outing with Nora Barnacle, the woman who would become his wife. On that date, the couple enjoyed a pleasant walk to Ringsend, Dublin.
The name of this day of celebration, coined in 1954, is derived from the surname of the principal figure in the novel, Leopold Bloom. The 'action' of the novel takes place over the course of one day in the life of Leopold Bloom.
In addition to pub crawls and other gatherings of celebration, one of the principal activities of the day is a tracing of events which took place in Joyce's extraordinary novel, Ulysses. All over Dublin, and other places around the world as well, groups of people will gather together to read aloud from Ulysses, wearing period costumes, carrying parasols, and delighting in everything Joycean. In Glasnevin cemetery, one the events scheduled for this Bloomsday is the Dublin Shakespeare Society's rehearsed reading from the 'Hades' chapter of Ulysses.
|In St. Stephen's Green is a bust honouring Joyce.
The quotation, "Crossing Stephen's, that is, my green", is from Joyce's
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.
I first encountered the work of James Joyce as an undergraduate reading for an honours Bachelor's degree in English Literature. The first work of Joyce's I read was his book of short stories entitled Dubliners, his novel Ulysses was the second. To be perfectly honest, I was not in love with the text when I first began to work my way through the novel, but I did feel tremendous pride at the fact that this unusual and challenging novel was written by an Irish born writer. Although it is a work of fiction, within its pages there are numerous historical figures mentioned, as well as many places from all around Dublin City, as well as places further afield.
When I began to research my Irish family history, I was surprised to learn that my family is connected to James Joyce, not by blood mind you, but by friendship. Thomas Michael Kettle, a first cousin in my maternal line about whom I have previously written, attended university with James Joyce at the Royal University of Ireland (now called University College Dublin, UCD). Kettle was part of Joyce's group of intimates, which included Kettle's future brother-in-law Francis Sheehy-Skeffington, and the poet and memoirist Oliver St. John Gogarty. How I would love to have been a fly on the wall at one of their gatherings. The family of Mary Sheehy, Tom Kettle's wife, is mentioned in the novel, when Rev. John Conmee greets Mary's mother, Mrs. Sheehy in the street, and asks about Mary's father, M.P. David Sheehy:
He walked by the treeshade of sunnywinking leaves and towards him came the wife of Mr. David Sheehy M. P.
— Very well, indeed, father. And you father?...
Father Conmee was very glad to see the wife of Mr. David Sheehy M. P. looking so well and he begged to be remembered to Mr. David Sheehy M. P. Yes, he would certainly call.
— Good afternoon, Mrs Sheehy. (p.180*)
Also, on page 241 of the novel, mention is made of Michael Geraghty, Esquire, of 29 Arbour Hill, Stoneybatter. Since my father, Michael Geraghty, was born in the Arbour Hill area of Stoneybatter, I can always claim a family connection to a fictional character.
As I mentioned, on the pages of the novel Joyce makes reference to numerous places in and around Dublin City. In celebration of Bloomsday, and James Joyce, here are photographs of a few of my favourites, including some new additions, along with some of the lines in which these places are mentioned in the novel. Click on the images to view larger versions.
The National Maternity Hospital, Dublin. It is generally known as Holles Street Hospital.
(see quote below)
|Hodges Figgis Bookstore, established 1763.
"What she? The virgin at Hodges Figgis' window on Monday looking in for
one of the alphabet books you were going to write. Keen glance you have her." (p.40)
|Daniel O'Connell: 'The Great Liberator'
"They passed under the hugecloaked Liberator's form." (p.77)
|Mount Jerome Cemetery, Harold's Cross, Dublin.
"Do they know what they cart out here every day? Must be twenty or thirty funerals
every day. Then Mount Jerome for the protestants. Funerals all over the world
everywhere every minute." (p.83)
|"As he set foot on O'Connell bridge a puffball of smoke plumed up from the parapet.
Brewery barge with export stout." (p.125)
|The Bank of Ireland building. (see quote above)
|Merchant's Arch.
"They went up the steps and under Merchants' arch.
A dark-backed figure scanned books on the hawker's cart." (p.192)
|"Let me see. Is he buried in saint Michan's?
Or no, there was a midnight burial in Glasnevin." (p.197)
|Prospect Cemetery at Glasnevin, popularly known as Glasnevin.
(see quotation above)
|Finn's Hotel, in which James Joyce's wife Nora Barnacle once worked as a chambermaid.
"Striding past Finn's hotel, Cashel Boyle O'Connor Fitzmaurice Tisdall Farrell
stared through a fierce eyeglass..." (p.209)
*Note: the pagination made mention of for each of the quotes from the novel is from Ulysses by James Joyce, The Gabler edition, First Vintage Books, Random House, New York, 1986. Also, the quotations appear exactly as they do in the text, some with little or no punctuation.

Four new Facebook and Google+ features to help you reach readers
September was a whirlwind month for social networking changes. Facebook rolled out a series of features, including a profile overhaul that drew both praise and criticism from users. Meanwhile Google+ opened up to the public and launched a few new features of its own. As the two networks compete for users, journalists and readers are bound to benefit. Here are four exciting new changes that arrived last month:
Facebook Subscribe demonstrates that Facebook is actually listening to the problems that journalists and other media professionals have had with the network's structure and jargon. First of all, subscribe solves a lot of the old problems journalists had with "liking" pages and becoming "friends" with public figures. Second, it allows journalists worried about separating their personal and professional lives to share from a single account rather than maintaining a personal page and a fan page — as long as you have fewer than 5,000 friends. Visit the subscribe page to allow subscriptions on your profile. When you allow subscriptions, be sure to set your notification and comment settings too.
Facebook Timeline is going to change the way your profile is organized, and re-position the network as a personal archive in addition to a social network. This has big implications for journalists, because it may allow us to organize our shared content both contextually and chronologically and find older content more easily. Timeline is being rolled out for everyone, but you can go ahead and get it now if you're impatient. For more on the Facebook changes, check out Vadim Lavrusik's post on the changes for Nieman Journalism Lab.
Google+ +1 buttons have been improved to allow direct sharing from the web. The +1 button previously shared content to a separate tab on your profile, but Google changed the functionality to allow sharing directly with those in your circles from the +1 button.
Google+ circle sharing basically brings the functionality of Twitter lists into the Google+ network. You can organize your circles and share them with others. The only catch is that the shared circle won't dynamically update. So, if you share a circle, and later update its members, the new members won't show up in the shared circle. Google is attempting to avoid privacy concerns later, but it means that you may need to re-share the circle as it changes.
