Dolce Babi line lets you express your own personal style while providing the safest and most beautifully crafted nursery furniture for your new baby.

Each collection has an exquisitely created crib as its central focus, complimented with matching dressers, chests, hutches, and nightstands in a variety of finishes. Choose the best for your baby and be the envy of your family and friends who will marvel at the beautiful style and value you've found.
Explore Dolce Babi, and you'll discover exactly the collection and finish to fit perfectly into your home. The collections provide additional value because each extraordinary crib transforms into a delightful toddler bed and later the centerpiece of a wonderful room for a teenager, eager to express his or her own personality. Some adult-size beds are platform style, while others have headboards and footboards. Furniture in the Dolce Babi line will grow and change just as your child does, but always remain eternally beautiful.

Just the Right Height
One of the most common issues facing today's parents is access. Cribs set to the lowest position for your toddler (which is a safety must) end up being difficult to access for a shorter stature mother. Several of the Dolce Babi Collections (Bambino & Bella) feature adjustable crib legs to provide close to 4 additional inches of depth to access the toddler. check out the video:

The Elder Scrolls Online: Long Weekend Fun and the ProblemsPosted by Stropp on April 24, 2014 Last weekend in Australia, it was the Easter 4 day long weekend. There's two public holidays, Good Friday and Easter Sunday, and traditionally if a public holiday falls on a weekend, the Monday becomes the day off. So I took advantage of this to unwind a little, and what better way to unwind than to play some games. TESO, being the game of the moment, was what I chose, so I spent nearly all Friday*, Saturday, and Sunday arvo playing. I ended up taking most of Monday off, just vegging on the couch. All up some fun was had, and I ended up getting my DK almost to 15. There were a few things I decided to do.
- Run around the non-Glenumbra starting zones and get all the Soul Shards.
- Clear all the achievement caves/dungeons in Glenumbra.
- Explore all Glenumbra
- Get all the Glenumbra Soul Shards
- Do some leveling
Mismatched Quest LevelsI have been finding that some of the quest levels are simply incorrect. There's a few quests where the level indicates the starting level, 8 for instance and I can start doing that at 7 or even 6, but when I get to the final boss I get completely trounced. So I go off to level up and come back later at level 8. Most I succeed at this point, okay, I don't mind that. But some I get trounced again. Hmmm. Level up another couple of levels. Still getting beaten. Come back even later. Same thing. What am I doing wrong? That's kind of frustrating.
Bots In DungeonsAs I mentioned I spend some time doing the dungeons. But to clear the dungeon and get the achievement, you have to damage the boss. That can be kind of difficult when there are a dozen PCs (all named aedw or dsfsads) standing around the spawn point that kill that boss in less than a second after spawn. There were a couple where it took 3 or 4 attempts before I was able to do enough damage to register for the achievement. I ended up guestimating the next spawn (fortunately not too long) and started swinging or firing before it appeared.
Gold Seller SpamThe chat channels, especially zone chat, are almost continually swamped with multi-line spam. The only option is to add them to the ignore list, but that only slows them a little. A few minutes later more spam bots are spamming. Some players are complaining that they have reached their ignore limit, which is around 90 I believe, and are asking Zenimax to increase it.
*Friday Night DowntimeThe other issue that is a bit(!) annoying is the decision by Zenimax to do two scheduled maintenance periods a week, the second one falling on 9:30pm, Friday night for four hours. I understand the need to do maintenance, fix issues, and patch the game. But seriously, right in the middle of Australian/Oceanic primetime? It's one thing to do on a weeknight, but a Friday night? They did change this from Sunday afternoon because there were complaints, but it doesn't look like they really put much thought into the new time. Scheduled maintenance probably shouldn't be done on a weekend. It's why most maintenance times are scheduled for Tuesdays. Not-A-Weekend. Note: Eve Online is also guilty of this. Their maintenance is every night, for an hour, around 9pm depending on daylight saving.
BugsActually, I'm not too worried about the bugs. There have been a few. Mostly not being able to enter a building or 'use' an object or NPC. They usually clear up, and in a couple of cases with quests, I just haven't got a particular quest item (there's no warning, it just doesn't work and I have to figure that out.) Overall, I agree with other comments about this being a pretty clean launch. Sure, there are problems, but this is software, there's always going to be some bugs. But this has been one of the best launches I've seen.
More ThoughtsThere's no question that, so far, TESO is a successful game. There are a lot of people running around, lots of talk on chat (in between the spam) and the dungeons have lots of active and real players in them. Of course this can change, and we haven't reached the end of the free month yet for most people, or the three month time when a lot of folks drop a game or just stop playing. We will have to wait and see what happens then. The biggest challenge I think Zenimax faces now is to figure out how to clean up the bots and the spam without alienating their players. There was talk about limiting boss drops in dungeons using a timer to make it unprofitable for bots to farm boss loot, but this also punishes players who like farming. And there have been some bannings of players who haven't actually done anything wrong. It's probably that frustrated players clicked on the wrong player name to report them and ended up getting them banned. It's also possible that some players have been deliberately reporting players who 'offended' them or are doing it to grief. Zenimax has to be very careful here, they don't want to drive players away.
Next WeekendSo. This weekend is another public holiday weekend. ANZAC day, the Australia & New Zealand version of Veterans Day in the US is on the 25th of April. This kind of alignment doesn't happen too often, simply because Easter is based on a lunar calendar and changes date every year, but it's always worth taking advantage of when it happens (a lot of people are taking the three days off this week and getting 10 consecutive days off!) I'll try and clean up a few more achievements, finishing off the following.
- All the Glenumbra Soul Shards.
- Get the last dungeon.
- Find all the Lore Books (hopefully there are clues for those too.)
- Finish all the remaining Glenumbra quests (if I can).
- Move into the next area.

Kid Sister & Estelle Pay Homage to Hip-Hop's First Ladies
Kid Sister has teamed up with Estelle for a 2008 remake of Queen Latifah and Monie Love's 1989 classic "Ladies First."
"'Ladies First' was a Queen Latifah song, so ours is 'First Ladies.' We made an updated, cool new beat to it that has an old school [vibe]. Curt [Cameruci] from Flosstradamus made the beat," said the rapper, born Melisa Young, on set of her Rap-Up photo shoot in Brooklyn.
It turns out the Windy City MC is a big fan of the British singer. "That girl can blow! She's just so talented and I didn't know she raps, so she rapped on the song. She's a little pit bull!"
The updated ladies anthem will appear on the 28-year-old's debut album Dream Date. "We just wanted to pay homage to the ladies who came first without being too cheesy. You can't cross the line into the land of cheese. I think we steered clear of that. It's one of my favorite tracks."
On and off wax, Kid Sister gave props to the women in hip-hop who came before her, pioneers like Queen Latifah, Monie Love, and MC Lyte. "'Ruffneck' was my song! I used to record that off the radio." She even shouted out more recent female MCs like Lil' Kim. "Hardcore is a good-ass album. I know it's old, but Lil' Kim just really skilled in that category."
Dream Date will be released on January 27, 2009. View the official tracklisting.Tweet

i have had these symptoms. if fact almost everyone of them.
i have myoclonus, in the ear, e tube and the muscles above my ear on the side of my head. the reaction in the opposite ear you get from the cell phone is a spasm, its the stapedial reflex. please do a search on this board, you will find a ton of info.
it took a few top notch drs to diagnose me. they are not sure if it will go away, i guess they say it can but i feel it is permanent. i had the tendons severed to relieve some of the symptoms, this made a huge difference.
Your syptoms have a display of hyperacusis, but what I also had took note of that you mentioned "dizzy spells" one of the leading syptoms of Meniere's disease pt's. Hyperacusis is only a syptom, that so happens to be a possible cause from Meniere's disease. The leading syptom of Meniere's disease are;
Not sure if this helps in any way, but perhaps speaking to your ENT/Audiologist about it should be considered.
these symptoms are myoclonus symtoms. i have it, and have had it since 03. mineres was rulled out right away. my surgery relieved a ton of it and that confirmed the diagnoses of myoclonus.
i think relaxing does help along with excersise, but i rarely do that.
my symptoms did progressivly get worse. i had the surgery and they then got better. it is a very unpredictable disorder, a variety of symptoms. i think a neurotoligist could help you.

text: I'm good on the chaturanga. I've progressed up to one legged version and unless I'm in a super hard class after a layoff from yoga, I rarely have to put knees down after several reps. I'm trying to go from crow (balancing on your hands in a ball position with knees on side of upper arms) into other positions: Headstand - I think that's core and shoulder? Chaturanga - core and chest? Handstand - core and shoulder? Problem is, if I can't do it I can't figure out what to work on in order to get the strength I need to pull it off At the end of the day, just a pretty competitive yoga practitioner. If I continue to practice, these poses will come. Sometimes I want to speed up my progressions though. Side note: sounds like your new career is going rather well. Congratulations! Is it fulfilling?

Kyle Draper's send-off, two new kids and other island happenings
About town
A get-together was hosted by the Abrams and Draper families for Kyle Draper and his many friends last Friday at McGovern's Yellow Kittens, following Clam Shack. All were there to give Kyle a warm send-off before his departure, last Tuesday, for his six-month tour of duty in Iraq. Just before the flight to Iraq from Green Airport, Kyle and others who were deploying were honored at an early morning service at Quonset Point.
Priscilla Anderson, of West Side Road, has expanded her interior design expertise from the Boston area to Block Island, seeking to express and suit her clients' lifestyles with comfortable, pleasing rooms. Pictures of some of her interiors, with contact information, can be found at her website, PriscillaAndersonDesign.com.
Two new kids, and we do mean baby goats, are now residents at John Willis's Beacon Hollow Farm. The two, named by Cailin Buffenmeyer for the constellations Pegasus and Pyxis (Peg and Pyx for short), were born in an open field at the Abrams Animal Farm during the island's cold snap last winter: Pegasus on January 31 and Pyxis on February 1. The kids and their mothers were rescued from exposure to freezing winds and icy ground by Heather Sniffen.
Runner Tracy Fredericks, in Florida last week to compete in a 35-mile Ultra Marathon, completed the run along the beach from Jacksonville to St. Augustine in less than six hours. She returned home to friends, family and hearty congratulations last Thursday. Great going, Tracy, we're proud of you!
A very happy anniversary to Anna and Mike Lofaro on April 12.

April 9 is the birthday of Lew Fagan, so wish him a happy one when you visit the airport!
Edith Blane and Brad Marthens both have birthdays coming up, April 13.
A very happy birthday to Zenith Gross, Kathy Szabo and Greg Kyte, on April 15.
In memory
In the last two weeks, Block Island has lost three people who contributed generously and immeasurably, each in his or her own way, to this island and this community. The three are Elise Lapham, Weld Coxe and Gil Plumb, and all will be sorely missed.
On the date of this paper, some of us will be traveling to nearby Essex, Conn., for a memorial service and celebration of the life of Gil Plumb. Your columnist and her husband were introduced to one another by Gil in November 1986, and in addition to that history making event, we have memories of many happy times with Gil and his family.
As noted in the obituaries in this paper, services for Elise, Weld and Gil will be held on Block Island starting in May, so that friends here may honor and celebrate their lives among us. Dates and times will be announced in this newspaper as they become known.
Let us know what's happening! Visiting relatives, special occasions, updates on friends near and far, projects… Deadline is Tuesday morning, and Fran can be reached at 466-2892 or firstname.lastname@example.com

I called my sponsor today. I haven't talked to her in years, quite litteraly. We don't even go to the same meeting anymore, so there wasn't even the occasional small talk... Nothing. Anyway, to get to the point - She relapsed a month or so ago, and is right now in the process of trying to quit again. Nothing like the person you relay on relapsing to make you hopeful about your own recovery.

Really Hide Your Views
Hiding views in Notes with the parenthesis around view names can be circumvented using Ctrl+Shift and opening the database. I've had times when this is not acceptable. A fairly straight forward way of really hiding the view is to give the view only an aliase. ( i.e. "|aliaseName" ) This will keep the view from showing up in any mode, but still allow it to be accessed programatically.

Obama�s Last Chance to Save His Presidency
President Obama can't move on domestic policy, but still has the power to make headway abroad—especially with Iran (to explore a Mideast strategic overhaul), China (to emplace a viable and critical Asia pivot), and Russia (to prevent a new little Cold War). He shouldn't throw this last chance away.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Giving back by paying it forward.
At The Karma Foundation, we are proud to be able to sponsor and support special charitable events and causes around the world. Our collective of philanthropists generates funds that are used when and where they're needed the most. Individually we could not have the same impact, but as a group we do great things for the planet. Philanthropy has always been, and will always be, a core value of our organization.
I was reminded of this tenet of our Foundation recently when I read a heart-warming piece in the Non-Profit Quarterly, written by Philadelphia-based freelance writer and editor Austin DeMarco. While relating some very touching personal experiences of charity and philanthropy, DeMarco expressed: "When members of an organization work to take care of each other and those around them, hope spreads. Activities and performances create a social space where like-minded people can congregate and share their stories while simultaneously doing something about their shared concerns, working together to create a world where such problems no longer influence our lives."
This sentiment really struck a chord in me personally, and chimed with the founding pillars of our own Foundation. Many of us are able to be philanthropists because we have experienced success in life that has produced wealth. Now we want to use that success and wealth to benefit greater society while enjoying fund-raising events and activities in the company of like-minded individuals. The Karma Foundation revels in producing large-scale, high-profile events at unique worldly locations for the benefit of charity. A portion of revenue from all Karma Events, Karma Membership dues and member spending goes to benefit our carefully chosen charities. We also organize special charity/volunteer events called 'Karma Cares' which see Members and their friends participate to raise funds and awareness.
In his insightful article, DeMarco also notes: "We give because we see a need in the world, and we continue to give because filling that need fills a related need inside of us. It's our job as philanthropists to nurture that hope and, in the process, rekindle our own sense of purpose and meaning in life."
This is why we actively recruit Karma Members that have a pay-it-forward attitude and enjoy knowing that we give back while creating some of the most unique life experiences this world has to offer. We believe good karma comes full circle in our lifestyle of sharing and caring.

In today's post, I briefly discuss a 2005 article published in Medical Hypotheses authored by two Italian scientists, Alessandro Cellerino and Emmanuele A. Jannini, in which they applied the concept of honest signaling to erectile dysfunction. The researchers cite cross-cultural studies regarding the prevalence of erectile dysfunction, and conclude that this affliction applies to roughly 1 out of 3 men globally. Unlike numerous other male mammals that possess a penile bone (known as the baculum), human penises function via the neurovascular system (blood needs to engorge the phallus). Furthermore, comparatively speaking, human copulation lasts longer than that of many other species. As such, Cellerino and Jannini argue that the ability to obtain and maintain an erection is physiologically speaking indicative of a man's overall health status since many illnesses will result in erectile dysfunction across a wide range of etiologies including systemic, vascular, endocrine, metabolic, immunologic, neurologic, urologic, psychiatric, psychological, and pharmacological (see Table 3, p. 182 for diseases associated with this taxonomy). A man's penile health (functioning) is a window to his overall health.
It is important to note that while the likelihood of erectile dysfunction increases with a man's age, many younger men suffer from this medical condition for reasons other than the standard performance anxiety that is often ascribed to this demographic group. For example, young men who are heavy smokers are much more likely to experience erectile dysfunction (Natali et al., 2005). This brings me to my next point, namely, the idea that the design of maximally effective public service announcements should cater to evolutionarily relevant triggers (as I discuss in my books when tackling dark side consumption). Rather than warning young men about the eventual likelihood of developing heart disease in forty years, make it clear that their ability to sexually perform tonight
Two final points:
1. Readers interested in learning more about penises can visit three of my earlier Psychology Today articles on this issue: Facts and Myths About the Human Penis; Penis Size and Preferred Sexual Roles Among Gay Men; and Male Circumcision and Quality of Sex Life (For Both Sexes).
2. Readers might be interested to know that in French "tail" is "queue," which is also a colloquially crass term for "penis." So the comparison of a peacock's tail and a man's penis is particularly à propos in the French language. Ah, the French!

Ok, this is absolutely insane. I realize that it is primarily being sold in L.A., and L.A. is expensive, but $2 a container!??!! Plus 2-day shipping!?I'm also kind of put off by the ages recommended for each stage of food. Max is only 7.5 months, and he had had enough with silky smooth textures a while ago. He will only eat baby food if it's kind of lumpy and thick, or if he can serve himself using his cute little pincer grasp.
I know I bitched about having no time to make Max's food myself, but I've actually started to do it. I made him prunes (his favorite, especially when mixed with oatmeal or mixed grain cereal), Moroccan squash and spaghetti & meatballs. It's really not a big deal.
Attention readers of this blog: I will be happy to make you organic
baby food if you are willing to pay me $2 per container. I will even
have Dylan recite her yoga chants over it, thus making it yogic and
imbued with special healing powers.

Max loves eating. I started him on solids at about 4.5 months, just like I did with Dylie (yes, this is earlier than a lot of breastfeeding moms start solids. no, i don't care). WIth Dylie, she ate mostly homemade food that I cooked, pureed and froze in ice cube trays. I had way more time then. In the interest of my sanity, I decided that Max would eat the jarred stuff. Organic jarred stuff, but jarred stuff nonetheless.
Well, let me say. That stuff is frickin' expensive. And, the kid eats like a horse. A few weeks ago, Amalah wrote about baby food here. And linked to this awesome article here. Which basically says to feed your baby flavorful foods, just like those that you are eating, but just mushed up. And, I really like that article. Because it's true - I mean, rice cereal and banana are TOTALLY constipating, and taste very bland, and I'm sure that they are the cause behind all of these cranky, constipated, picky eaters running around, and really, I don't want my kids to end up that way.
So, after I read that article, we headed out to Kotobuki for dinner, and I didn't really know what to give Max, b/c it's kind of hard to mush up sushi, so I put soy sauce in his peas, and I gave him mushed up tofu from my miso soup. He liked it all. But, I'm still buying jarred food. Because, I just can't bring myself to feed him everything we eat. Like, take tonight for example. Dyl and I are having Dream Dinners Mexi-Meatballs (yes, I am VERY VERY afraid). He can't eat that! Can he? No, he can't. Well, first they have egg whites in them I think. Which you can't give babies under the age of 1. Second, it just seems weird to give him Mexican meatballs. So, I'm a total hypocrite, b/c I've been telling everyone about this damn article, yet I feed Max jarred food every day.
Anyone have any input here??

The condition of mankind is, and always has been, so miserable and depraved that, if anyone were to say to the poet: "For God's sake stop singing and do something useful like putting on the kettle or fetching bandages," what just reason could he give for refusing?

If you can't or won't, I shall confiscate your passport and send you to the mines."

The tranquility and peace that a scholar needs is something as sweet and exhilarating as love. Unspeakable joys are showered on us by the exertion of our mental faculties; the quest of ideas, and the tranquil contemplation of knowledge; delights indescribable, because purely intellectual and impalpable to our senses.Honor de Balzac
One writes out of one thing only one's own experience. Everything depends on how relentlessly one forces from this experience the last drop, sweet or bitter, it can possibly give. This is the only real concern of the artist, to recreate out of the disorder of life that order which is art.James Baldwin

A Good Read
There have been a number of posts and references around the bloggernacle recently about what constitutes a good book. The Wiz lamented the state of bestsellers, Heather O talked about what she thinks is a good story (and in doing so, referenced those she thought were bad), and Adam linked to A Reader's Manifesto, which attacks recent Literary Works. All of this got me thinking about what I consider a good book.
One thing that made me think about this especially were Heather O's disparaging comments about Stephenie Meyer's Twilight. While I don't know that it's a Literary Masterpiece, I do consider it one of the best books I've read in years. It's one of the few books that, after I checked out a copy and read it, I went to the bookstore and bought my own (new) copy. It was good enough that I knew I wanted to have it in my collection. Of course, Heather O is entitled to her own opinion of it, but our differing opinions really got me thinking about why I like it, and why I like books in general.
The conclusion I came to was that for me, a good book is all about the characters. A good book makes me feel what the characters are feeling. There needs to be a halfway decent plot, but if I can't relate to the characters, no amount of plot will save the book for me. The same goes for the actual prose. It needs to not get in the way of the story too much, but I honestly don't care if it's great. I recently re-read what have always been some of my favorite books (the early Valdemar books by Mercedes Lackey) and I realized that the prose really isn't that good. It's not horrible, but there are a lot of places that sentence structure and the like could be significantly improved. But you know what else I realized? I really don't care. The fact that the prose isn't wonderful really doesn't bother me, and doesn't make me love these books any less. They mean a lot to me because they made me feel like someone understood me and understood how I felt at times in my life when I wasn't really sure anyone did. That is what makes them great books — I can empathize with the characters, and conversely, if others can write characters who feel like these ways, I'm not alone in feeling them.
So for me a story is all about its characters, and my ability to really empathize with them, and feel what they do. I realize that this isn't true for everyone, though. So I want to know: What makes a book really great for you?

I really like your point about "prose . . . need[ing] to not get in the way of the story." I don't read much fiction, but in any kind of writing, I think your point is correct. A few writers are skilled enough to actually make their prose work in their favor, but for everyone else, it's best if they just make it as unobtrusive as possible. I include myself in the latter group, of course, in my academic writing, or really anything I write.
I'm an "it's all about the characters" person as well, so the standard "more plot!" request presents me with a formidable challenge. I've heard of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight before, but this is the first discussion that has left me strongly tempted to read it……..
I love good books, I really do.
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Starred Review. Grade 9 Up–Headstrong, sun-loving, 17-year-old Bella declines her mom's invitation to move to Florida, and instead reluctantly opts to move to her dad's cabin in the dreary, rainy town of Forks, WA. She becomes intrigued with Edward Cullen, a distant, stylish, and disarmingly handsome senior, who is also a vampire. When he reveals that his specific clan hunts wildlife instead of humans, Bella deduces that she is safe from his blood-sucking instincts and therefore free to fall hopelessly in love with him. The feeling is mutual, and the resulting volatile romance smolders as they attempt to hide Edward's identity from her family and the rest of the school. Meyer adds an eerie new twist to the mismatched, star-crossed lovers theme: predator falls for prey, human falls for vampire. This tension strips away any pretense readers may have about the everyday teen romance novel, and kissing, touching, and talking take on an entirely new meaning when one small mistake could be life-threatening. Bella and Edward's struggle to make their relationship work becomes a struggle for survival, especially when vampires from an outside clan infiltrate the Cullen territory and head straight for her. As a result, the novel's danger-factor skyrockets as the excitement of secret love and hushed affection morphs into a terrifying race to stay alive. Realistic, subtle, succinct, and easy to follow, Twilight will have readers dying to sink their teeth into it.–Hillias J. Martin, New York Public Library

Hmm, I have to confess I'm not big on vampire romance novels.
I'm not very much into vampire romance either but all this discussion of "Twilight" is really piquing my curiosity.
I have to add this though:
Meyer adds an eerie new twist to the mismatched, star-crossed lovers theme: predator falls for prey, human falls for vampire.
It's hardly a new twist. "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" did this 10 years ago. A book called "The Silver Kiss" — another YA book — did it 15 years ago. The "Anita Blake" books have been doing it for 14 years and have 15 books in the series.
Robin McKinley jumped on the vampire romance bandwagon four years ago with "Sunshine." I don't know about the Anne Rice books; I don't know if they're vampire romance or just vampire sex. None of this means "Twilight" isn't a good book. It's just not a new concept.
Now, show me a book where the vulnerable human is the guy and the noble, tortured supernatural creature is the girl and THAT I will consider a new twist!
And I thought I was the only woman alive who disliked vampire fiction.
Just as a point of information for those of you who are not fans of vampire fiction — I'm generally not, either. Twilight and its sequels are, in fact, the only vampire fiction I have ever read (though I have watched Buffy and Angel). But I definitely recommend it, especially if you're someone who likes character stories.
Great questions, Vada.
I'm intrigued by the question of what it is that opens and closes books to us, of what draws us to some and repels us from others. I always like to know what books other people like, and why, and what books they don't, and why not. It's a great way to get to know someone and to understand something about her.
I find (as I'm guessing most of us do) that different books offer different pleasures, and that sometimes books that were previously inaccessible suddenly open to me in the light of greater experience and expanded understanding, or that I come to appreciate books I already love on more levels. A few years ago I started to find an immense, almost wholly new in nineteenth-century novels, for the simplest of all possible reasons–they're long. They sustain their pleasures over time, and they offer more and more and more of their characters, more and more stories, more and more narrative reflections and interlocking lives. There's something so satisfying about a really long and engaging book, about knowing a short way in that there's so much to follow. There's even something satisfying about holding a thick novel in your hands and feeling the thickness of it, the weight.
It's fascinating too how books meet individual character. When I first encountered Donald Barthelme's brilliant short stories in college, I thought immediately of my siblings Ziff and Kiskilili. The incisive, manic perfection of Barthelme's tone reminded me of the endless smart-alecky remarks they used to reel off as Lynnette and I, the serious sibs, tried (bossily, in my case) to get everyone to get something done.
This summer I've been reading Dickens and now A.S. Byatt's quartet of novels about Frederica Potter. I love the way her novels are both so intellectually engaging, full of ideas and reflections, and so socially astute in their renderings of all the subtleties of character and motive and human interaction. (I'm fascinated too by how dislikeable her main character is, and yet sympathetic in her very dislikeability. That's an enormous achievement, I think.)
But neither Lynnette nor Kiskilili likes Byatt much. Kiskilili loves Rosellen Brown; I like her quite well but not as much as Kiskilili does. I know most of us love Margaret Atwood. (Any dissenters besides Ziff who I know doesn't read fiction much?) And my absent sister Melyngoch and I may be the only ones in the family who like either Shakespeare or Billy Collins.
Questions of taste and pleasure in art are just endlessly engaging. (And just for the record, vampire fiction has never particularly appealed to me, either.)
Although I am certainly not the reader I used to be, I have found a few great books in the last few years. I'm a big fan of Chaim Potok, and have just started A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini's (although I'm not sure I'll finish it, it's too depressing). Like Ziff, I'm more likely to read non-fiction than fiction, but when I do, I agree that character is a big part of what draws me in. Also, I don't like too much emotional manipulation. I get sucked into the story so easily and if I'm crying by page 30, I know it's going to be a miserable experience. But with some books it's worth it (like The Chosen) and with other books, it's not. The author has to really give something back if they ask you to commit so much emotionally.
How's that for criteria for liking a book? Don't make me cry, but if you do, it had better darn well be for a good reason.
It's an interesting question. I find that a lot of the time when I'm reading for pleasure, I'm feeling lazy, and I want something that draws me in right away; I don't have the patience to make it through a couple of slow first chapters before things get going.
The books I've read that have really impacted me, though, and which I've re-read multiple times have tended to be more character-driven than plot-driven. And sometimes they have been slow at the beginning (and not only at the beginning!) So I think it must also have to do with the mood I'm in.
I'm not at all into vampire stuff–I like Buffy and Angel despite the vampire aspects, not because of them. But this has gotten me curious about Stephanie Meyers; I'll probably give her a try.
It's interesting that you say that the prose doesn't matter, as long as it doesn't get in the way. I actually feel the same way, and one of the reasons that I was annoyed with Twilight was because the prose WAS distracting to me. Her overuse of adjectives was killing me, and it just seemed like she was trying too hard. Interesting that you found the opposite.
I do applaud Meyer for finding some new twists with what could be tired ground–inventing new myths about vampires–the super speed, and why they stay in doors, etc.
And I didn't say I wasn't entertained. I got sucked in like everybody else, and went ahead and bought the sequel, too, just to see what happens. But I have to say I'm actually tired of her prose, and probably will not pick up another one of her books. Her story in the second book I found was actually even better and more intriguing than the vampire/human love story, but even her good story wasn't enough to overcome her distracting prose.
Of course, that said, her books have sold more than Harry Potter in Orem. Oh, that I could write such bad prose….
I know most of us love Margaret Atwood. (Any dissenters besides Ziff who I know doesn't read fiction much?)
I don't mean to shock you, Eve, but I've actually read three of Margaret Atwood's books. I loved The Handmaid's Tale but I really didn't get Surfacing or Lady Oracle. I think maybe I just liked The Handmaid's Tale because I tend to like dystopic and apocalyptic fiction maybe more than I liked Margaret Atwood specifically. You may now commence to throwing things. Oh, wait, but before you do, should I try Oryx and Crake?

I had to stop hooping when 2 of my neighbors went by.
Hopefully I will get over this!
When another neighbor was a bit further I kept hooping & he didn't even see me! (LOL)

Did Isaiah Washington Save His Job?by Steve Marsi at . Comments
It was a close call, but Bill Zwecker of the Chicago Sun-Times, citing an inside source on the Grey's Anatomy production staff, reports that Isaiah Washington may have just barely saved himself from being fired over using a gay slur in reference to co-star T.R. Knight.
Since the incident, the embattled Grey's Anatomy star has ended his relationship with his longtime publicist, issued an apology, met with several leaders of the gay community and has hired a pair of damage control specialists, Allen Mayer and Kelly Mullens. Those consultants previously have helped Chicago's R. Kelly, Tommy Lee and Paula Poundstone when they faced serious image problems.
Even so, Grey's Anatomy star Kate Walsh told Extra at the Sundance Film Festival that the cast is still shaken by the incident.
"I really feel sad... I'm just saying my prayers... I don't know what is going to happen, I just trust that our show will deal with it in the way that they see fit," she said.
Then her co-star, Katherine Heigl (shown above, with Knight) chimed in.
"It's tense ... but I think it'll work out and I'm hopeful that it's handled properly," she said.

With a few exceptions, I agree with the comment that this site contains some of the most high level and rational commentaries of the situation. Isaiah's choice to avoid the spotlight these days is commendable and advantageous to the life of the show. This has been one of those series of unfortunate events that has elicited the invective of Euro-American public, which is horrifying, unappealing, and unworthy of us as a nation of people. On other websites people are calling for much more drastic measures. Such words are not as hurtful as harmful actions. Anger management help is in order, and the situation should be looked upon with tolerance as any other disorder in which somone is legitimately attempting to alter. I hope this is the case with Mr. Washington, applaud him for his effort and hope that he will be successful. We would become the villians if we pursue an attempt to end his career at this point in time.
Purplemerder, I think what Suzan Lastname may be saying is that we are not reading for months and months that Michael Richards should be fired from the Laugh Factory for his slur. The entire event was in the news for a week or two at the most. Richards apologized and we moved on. We have heard from the pulpit of the press gathering rabid followers daily that Isaiah should be fired for his mistake. Michael Richards is still performing. It is hypocritical to ask for a man to lose his career over one slur and not the other particularly when one was intentional and the other may not have been.
CLEERLY T.R. appeared to be a gay man from the very first episode....there was NOTHING screaming "I'm STRAIGHT" from the first time his character was introduced. It was a shock that they created a love interest for him. None-the-less, let it go. And please, there is no comparison for the word "Faggot" and "Nigger". So, please....(non-african american folks) don't go there. Both of these individuals have there own cross to bare and we have not been called to be judge and jury. So let it go, continue watching the show, and live your life.
rebekah isaacs shame on you!!!! What is this mentality you sound like an old (not in age but in your head) grumpy person who never smiles and can not be positive in life. You must be very unhappy. I am 60 on paper not in my head. At 93 my grandmother was more tolerant then you and that's 15 years ago.
Suzan Lastname - who says that any of us tolerated what Michael Richards said???????
Did Katherine Heigl and anyone else who was offended at Isaiah Washington's insensitive comments feel this way when Michael Richards used the N word? Hypocrisy is knocking on your door here. Be brave, be courageous, have a spine. Be fair. You tolerated Michael Richards insensitivity. Tolerate this. Right or wrong is obviously not an issue.
To all of you that agree with me...thank you! To all of you who disagree with me....THANK YOU! I have an opinion just like everyone else and I can respect other people's opinions, but that doesn't mean that I have to agree with and like it. Isaiah does not have to agree with how T.R. lives his life...hell...he doesn't even have to like him as a person. But in order for them to work together...they have to respect eachothers talent and differences. Firing Isaiah would be horrible for the show and it would only give that horrible F word fuel. It gives that word power. Black people were called the N word for years and then they decided to flip it and make it into something positive that they could use...the word ends with an "A" instead of an "ER." Yes, the "ER" still hurts and is wrong but at least they tried to overcome the hurt and piss off some people who tried to overcome them along the way (ha ha). IT IS A WORD...yes it hurts, but let's not give it the power that it does NOT deserve.
If you want to keep IW as Preston Burke on the show please sign the petition http://www.petitiononline.com/...
When I read some of the reactions of some people I have the feeling that the word tolerance does not exist. We should all focus on the real problems of the world and not go on and on and on about this. If someone has no interest in watching this show after hearing IW comments let them do so I just hope they keep in mind that by doing so the jealous detractors of this show score points. Isn't this the hidden agenda of this whole campaign?
