Items in the Circulating Collection are shelved in the Special Collections Room on the third floor of the library. They are available any time the library is open, and most of them may be checked out.
The Rare Materials Collection is comprised of items that because of age, value, or rarity require special handling and security. It consists mainly of books and journals, a small collection of photographs related to the history of the university and the medical campus, and a small collection of medical artifacts, a wide range of objects dating from the 19th and 20th centuries. Rare materials are housed in a secure temperature- and humidity-controlled area, which is not open for browsing. All materials must be requested individually. They are available for use in the third-floor Rare Materials Office by appointment only.

DES MOINES – MidAmerican Energy Company residential customers who live in Iowa can participate in the Plant Some Shade® program. The program offers customers discount-priced trees to reduce future energy use, landscape properties and green up their neighborhoods.
Plant Some Shade events will be held on Sept. 21, in Des Moines, from 8:30 to 11 a.m., in the south parking lot of the Hoover State Office Building; Sept. 28, in Oskaloosa, from 9 to 11 a.m., at the Southern Iowa Fairgrounds; and, Oct. 1, in Sioux City, from 4 to 6 p.m., in the parking lot of the Sioux City Explorers Baseball Park. Prepayment and advance orders are required. Order forms can be obtained at www.midamericanenergy.com/iowa_plantsomeshade. Orders will be accepted until all trees have been sold.
Strategically placed deciduous trees provide shade on hot summer days, easing the cooling load on air conditioners or heat pumps. Trees planted on the west side of a house provide the most benefit. Additionally, conifer trees planted as windbreaks help protect the home from blustery Iowa winter winds thus reducing the energy needed for heating.
Plant Some Shade is a partnership initiative to aid long-term energy and natural resource conservation. The program is funded by MidAmerican Energy and administered by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources – Bureau of Forestry, with three local partners: Mahaska County Extension, Polk County Conservation and Siouxland Chamber of Commerce.
Plant Some Shade offers MidAmerican Energy's residential customers the ability to purchase up to two, 2- to 3-foot conifers and 6- to 8-foot landscaping trees for $30 each. A variety of trees are available, including two or three varieties of shade trees, a low-growing ornamental tree and a conifer.
"Encouraging residents to plant trees in their yard is an effective way to reduce energy costs and also promote a healthy and aesthetically pleasing environment," said Tina Yoder, MidAmerican Energy's manager, energy efficiency. "Strategically planted trees provide year-round protection of homes from the elements and that means energy savings. Plant Some Shade helps our customers save energy."
Tree recipients are given instructions on how to plant and care for their trees, including safety information regarding the need to call 811 before digging to check for underground power lines. In addition, it is important to choose a tree that fits the site characteristics so that it will not grow into overhead power lines or buildings.
"This is a wonderful opportunity for homeowners to get a quality tree at an affordable price," said Matt Brewer, partnership coordinator for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources – Bureau of Forestry. "Fall is an ideal time to plant new trees. The season's warm days and cool nights are excellent for root growth."

Bomber Jacket Smart Phone Holster
Bomber Jacket Smart Phone Holster
My husband is a truck driver and this works perfectly for his Samsung Galaxy s3 phone.
January 28, 2013
Great, but with caveats
I've had this holster now for about 60 days and it works well for me. I wear a loose-hanging second shirt on most days, and it hasn't caught, opened, or interfered with my normal movement. The leather has held up beautifully, and my phone (an iPhone 4) rests nicely inside without shifting. That said, it is worth noting that the clip on the back is, as has been reported, VERY strong. It's a challenge to get this holster on, but once it is there, it will certainly stay! As with many, the clip does not reach the bottom of my belt, but the strength of the closure has ensured that almost no movement happens. Were the clip just a bit less forceful to allow easy attachment while still preventing loss, I'd give it maximum marks.
August 24, 2012
Close, but not right
As other reviewers have pointed out, the length of the clip on this is insufficient for all but the narrowest of belts. And while the clip is sufficiently strong to hold the holster to the belt, the down side is it is VERY difficult to clip onto the belt. I have a very thin belt (nylon web belt) and I have problems getting the clip open far enough to get it clipped onto my belt. I've only had my holster for a few days, but I am concerned the leather and stitching will quickly show wear from putting the holster onto a belt. The leather for the holster is beautiful (I have the Bomber Jacket wallet and love it). The magnet closure is OK. I wouldn't want to go for a run and count on this keeping the phone in the holster, but for normal, every day wear, this seems OK. Sadly, this is the first product from Levenger I don't think I'd recommend to a friend. My quest for the right iPhone carrier continues.
June 4, 2012
Design Flaw or wearer flaw?
This item is beautifully executed and handy, however I must place a caveat in it's design as it is flawed. I no longer carry mine (I've owned it for over 30 days now) and tried various ways to wear it...on the belt area, on the top of the pocket on jeans, on camera strap, etc. and it boils down to losing the phone. It gets caught in seat belts and pulls off, it brushes against table edges & pulls off, it pulls off of camera bag straps as it catches on doors, etc. It's a great item otherwise, but I can't afford to lose iPhones. I'm not sure what the exact design flaw is (is it a longer clip needed? is a stronger clip needed? is the area I wear it--to the side & not on the belt buckle--wrong?) but since it is a great item otherwise, I might suggest that it be checked into. It seems most people have no problem with it, so maybe it is me, but I simply cannot use it as much as I would like to.
March 28, 2012
Oh So very close
This is a very attractive well made case. It holds my phones well. I have had my case for 17 months. It has held up very well. The leather has aged nicely developing a little patina as it has aged. I mark it well down on functionality because of the belt clip. The clip is about 1.25 inches in depth while all of my belts are between 1.5 and 1.75 inches in depth. I believe to get the highest functionality grades the clip should fully trap the belt. Lengthen that clip and I would buy a second Bomber Jacket Smartphone Holster. I would also like to see a variation of this holster that held the phone vertically.
February 23, 2012
Bad design -- unusable product
I was very pleased when the case arrived and was ready to begin using it. Unfortunately, the belt clip was too short to stabilize the case on my belt. I was disappointed that the high-quality leather was not matched by high-quality design and am returning the case.
January 21, 2012
The usual top quality
While I read the negative reviews & positive of this item, I purchased it with skepticism, but I have found it to be an outstanding item. Perfect for my iPhone 4G with a 'skin' around it, it has a strong magnet closure and strong (though shorter) clip to attach to belt or jean side pocket (in my cases). I cannot find any fault with this item whatsoever & fail to comprehend the complaints. Hopefully other colors will be offered in the near future as I highly recommend this style.
August 27, 2011
The case looked and felt great, but, felt the magnetic closure was weak. Returned for a refund. My search continues.....
June 30, 2011
Perfect Case for iPhone
After using the original for several years, I wanted a roomier case for my iPhone 3gs which I keep in a Speck case. Nothing that I tried could handle both, except this case. Levenger products last, look good after years of use and are practical
May 13, 2011
Too big for iPhone 4
This holster is too large for an iPhone 4 even with the bumper installed -- the phone just rattles around in the case. The quality is everything you expect, it is just not the right case for this application. It's on the way back for a refund.

Pizza, baked goods and more to roll into Tinley Metra station
BY STEVE METSCH firstname.lastname@example.com January 22, 2013 4:10PM
Michael Papandrea pulls a fresh pizza from the oven at his Parmesans Wood Stone Pizza in Frankfort, Illinois, Wednesday, January 23, 2013. | Joseph P. Meier~Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: February 25, 2013 12:16PM
Starting Monday morning, Michael and Mary Ann Papandrea will be serving baked goods and coffee inside the 80th Avenue Metra train station in Tinley Park.
That's just the start of what soon will be a full-service restaurant.
Their Parmesans Station will be open from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. weekdays, and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. weekends, eventually offering much of the same cuisine found at their Parmesans Wood Stone Pizza in Frankfort.
Papandrea, 51, who grew up on Long Island and attended culinary school, is a former executive chef at the Holiday Inn in Matteson. He and Mary Ann, his wife of 25 years, opened their Frankfort restaurant in 2004.
They and village officials believe their concept for the restaurant in the train station will work out well.
"This is what we had in mind," Village Trustee Dave Seaman said.
Papandrea is thrilled knowing about 3,000 people will be at the station twice a day, calling it "a great target market."
He envisions a smoothly operating system in which commuters can place orders when leaving downtown Chicago, pay in advance, and pick up their dinner order moments after exiting the train as they are heading home.
The first focus is on the commuters, who may get hungry early because he plans to be baking in the train station from 2 to 4 a.m., he said.
"We have an app in the iTunes store. People can download the app, order online from the train. Their food is not only ready and packaged but paid for so they can continue that mass exodus every day to get to their car to somehow be first out of that parking lot. Not even a stride missed," Papandrea said.
The village board Tuesday night approved a license agreement that has the couple paying $1,100 rent to the village every month, along with 2 percent of annual gross sales up to $300,000. After gross sales hit $400,000, that rate increases to 2.5 percent, assistant village manager Michael Mertens said.
The restaurant owners will not be responsible for paying property taxes because it's a license agreement, not a lease, Mertens said.
Both sides agreed to a five-year deal with an option for five more after that expires, Seaman said.
A gas oven, which can use wood chips for flavoring, will be installed in the restaurant, Papandrea said.
The other vendor finalists for the station were the Odyssey Country Club's banquet facility, and Diana's Kitchen, 16707 S. Oak Park Ave., village manager Scott Niehaus said.
Any of the three would have worked out well, Seaman said, but the village board was impressed with Papandrea's attention to detail and long-range plans.
What sold Papandrea on moving into the train station was the beauty of the building, with its great hall and towering ceiling, he said.
"I see musical events happening at this location," said Papandrea, who plans to cater parties there on weekends and after the weekday evening rush ends.
"We see the whole idea coming together and phasing things in over time," he said.
Three of the couple's four adult children will be involved in helping run the restaurant, Mary Ann Papandrea, 52, said.
"Every restaurant owner you talk to that has a restaurant in Tinley and one somewhere else say the one in Tinley does so much better," she said.
Parking shouldn't be a problem as the village has designated about 20 spaces for the restaurant.
"The spaces that are closest to the door will open first because those people get there at 4:30 or 5 (a.m.)," Michael Papandrea said.

UCL SECReT
UCL SECReT is the new training centre for security and crime related research. UCL SECReT has been set up in 2009 following a £7m cash grant award by the EPSRC (the UK's Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council) and £10m of cash and in-kind support from industrial, academic and public sector partners to establish Europe's largest centre for doctoral training in security science. The centre is a world-class interdisciplinary centre applying the latest techniques in a variety of disciplines to problems in the crime and security domain.
The centre has been set up to promote the new national standard in PhD training: the four-year degree programme.
Security science
Crime and terrorism are constantly evolving threats. National infrastructures such as transport, power and communications need to remain protected, and identity theft and credit card fraud continue to have a devastating impact on everyday life. UCL SECReT will produce the next generation of security scientists who will be ready for these challenges.
Security Science DTC will train and shape a generation of thought
leaders in integrated and socially sensitive security; this will
encompass not only future academics but also the policy makers and
industrialists with whom they interact during and after their training.
We aim to transform the way security is done."
Professor Gloria Laycock OBE, former UCL SECReT Director
Research areas
SECReT has a broad research remit and the following list is not exhaustive. Before applying you must identify at least two academics at UCL who would be a suitable reviewer for your application. To improve your chances of being interviewed, we recommend that you identify some academics who carry out research in your field of interest.
To obtain a list of academics covering your areas of interest, click on the links in the bottom half of this page, or alternatively search individual departmental websites.
Please contact relevant academics directly by email or by phone in the first instance, and please bear in mind they are usually busy people!
UCL SECReT supports research in the below areas. This list is not exhaustive so please contact us if you are not sure whether your proposed research will be covered by our centre:
- Information security and ICT: Computer and network security, cryptography, digital intellectual property, wireless sensor networks, cyber security, cyber terrorism
- Security and the built environment: Access control, building design, crime prevention strategy, ship design, port management
- Disaster management: Disaster modelling, contingency and operational planning
- Detecting, imaging, locating and tracking technology: Radar, sonar, CCTV, acoustic sensors, RFID, and associated processing techniques
- CBRNe agent mitigation: Radiation physics, nanotechnology, material science, biochemical engineering
- Forensic sciences: Forensic chemistry, soil forensics, electronic forensics, multimedia forensics, evidence, digital forensics
- Language: Linguistics, speech, hearing, and phonetics sciences
- Intelligence and data analysis: Surveillance and open source intelligence, artificial intelligence
- Temporal and spatial pattern analysis: Urban modelling, crime mapping, social analysis
- Human perception and behaviour: Cognition, Decision making
- Ethics and public engagement: Privacy, consent, public understanding
- Socio-human studies: Radicalisation, pathways into crime and terrorism, sociology of deviance and crime control
A new national standard
In December 2008, EPSRC, the largest research council in
the UK, provided £250m of funding to establish 40 new doctoral training
centres in the UK. All of these centres will promote the new vision for
research degrees that RCUK (Research Councils UK) has agreed to
implement following extensive study of the best doctoral training
programmes around the world.
The core of this vision lies in promoting a
new four-year PhD format for students taking research degrees in the UK.
The four-year format represents a leap forward for the international
credibility of UK doctorates which have usually been three-year programmes,
at least a year less than many other countries.
The four-year format also permits students to explore their research domain before settling on a thesis topic. This ensures both a more rewarding experience for the student and a more focused piece of research.
University College London
UCL is consistently ranked as one of the world's best universities. As one of Europe's largest multi-faculty universities and
recognised as one of the best applied research facilities in the world,
UCL has the academic resources to provide a terrific training
environment for researchers aiming to achieve genuine excellence in
their chosen field of crime or security research.
With over 20 departments from across UCL (the majority nationally rated in the top tier of their discipline in the recent UK-wide Research Assessment Exercise (RAE 2009)) involved in this new training centre, a truly interdisciplinary community has been catalysed at the university to create a unique experience for our students.

Podcasting makes an audio file, typically an MP3 file, available online for downloading via an automatic "feed." You can then hear the podcast whenever you want from your computer or a portable media player.
The first thing you need is podcast subscription software. Your options include the latest version of Apple's iTunes (which has the software built in), or other services such as Odeo or iPodder, to manage your podcast subscriptions. At this point, you will already be able to listen to podcast audio from your computer (provided your computer has a sound card and can play MP3 audio files). If you want to make your podcasts portable, you will need to transfer them from your computer to a portable media device.
To subscribe to a podcast listed in the directory, click on its name to view a brief description and subscription instructions.
You may subscribe to many podcasts by clicking the buttons for popular tools like iTunes and My Yahoo!
If you don't see a button for your preferred tool, simply highlight the URL in the box next to the orange [POD] icon. Right-click this link (or Control-click in MacOS) and select "Copy" or "Copy Shortcut." You may then paste the link into your podcasting software. In iTunes you can find this option under the "Advanced" menu as "Subscribe to podcast."
You may also save the latest episode of the podcast by clicking the button "Download MP3", which allows you to save the podcast to any other MP3 device.
First, be sure that you have audio player software; then, verify that the correct audio file was downloaded to your computer. You may need to modify the update settings in your podcasting software to ensure that this process occurs automatically. Next, check the update times in the description and make sure that a new edition should have been posted. If an audio file is not present and the feed time has passed, please contact NPR from our Help Center.
Among other considerations, many NPR stations incorporate local stories as they air nationally produced newsmagazines; we are currently unable to integrate local and national content into a combined podcast, and thus cannot reflect the radio experience listeners enjoy -- and expect -- in their individual markets. Additionally, podcasting full-length daily programs such as Morning Edition and All Things Considered could be extremely expensive, and we are still working out the economic model to support podcasting.
As a first experiment, however, we are now podcasting the weekly news quiz program Wait, Wait... Don't Tell Me!.
Additionally, the stations that produce several other signature programs for NPR are also podcasting those programs in their entirety; these include On The Media from WNYC, The Diane Rehm Show from WAMU, Latino USA from KUT and Only A Game from WBUR.
If you're looking for a podcast for an NPR program, topic, series or journalist, it may be available: go to the page where it lives. For example, a podcast for Ofeibea Quist-Arcton is available on her bio page.
To build a custom podcast, you can Mix Your Own Podcast or, for technically savvy users, use the API Query Generator.
NPR's podcasts are free for you to use, but expensive to produce and serve. To help support NPR's podcasts, you can become a member of your local NPR station.
Nearly all podcast applications (including iTunes) allow you to share your library by exporting it as an OPML (Outline Processor Markup Language) file. In iTunes, right click the podcast button (on the left side, under 'library') and select 'export song list...' Select 'Podcast Subscription files (*.opml)' and click save.
To import someone else's OPML file in iTunes, select 'Import' under the 'File' menu. If you have a high-speed connection, you can even load the latest episodes of all 230+ NPR podcasts into your iTunes library by saving our opml file to your desktop and importing it into iTunes (or some other listening application).
NPR has been experiencing occasional network problems that could disrupt podcast downloads. If your download does not appear complete, try these steps: First, unsubscribe from the podcast. Second, locate your downloaded file, and delete the partial episode. Third, resubscribe to the podcast and try the download again. This will usually result in a complete episode. We are working to fix this issue and we apologize for the inconvenience.
NPR works with the appropriate rights holders (artists, labels, publishers...) to secure the proper permissions to stream and download music. In some cases, we receive rights to stream music, but not to offer it for download/podcast.

During the last few gamesessions, our Throne Agent Cadre have encountered marines none of us were quite able to identify. Recently it turned out that these marines were of the Wordbearer chapter. However, they have been seperated from the imperium since before the heresy.
Now don't worry about how they came to be in their current state, because this will likely remain an unsolved mystery for the rest of the campaign.
A bit of context.
We've recently found a lost Imperial saint on a deathworld in Segmentum Tempestus. This great find, as well as the recovery of a daemonhammer and an absolutely ancient print of Lexio Divinatus, has led my Hierophant to declare the planet a Shrine-world and send word to the Imperium to send a missionary-fleet. They are due to arrive in a week or two.
In the meantime, we've started exploring the planet. It turns out the planet is actually playing host to a few enemies of the imperium, who are currently ripping each-others throats out over something. Eldar and Traitor marines are fighting on the planet, and as we approached the ancient ruins of an Imperial cathedral, another group entered the mix. The offshoot wordbearers. The CSM were trying to take an imperial cathedral, the WB were holding, while the Eldar waited for a moment to strike (BTW our party's scout is amazing)
Long story short, we flattened both the CSM and Eldar with the use of the foolproof Imperial tactic of drowning the enemy in lasgun fire and a mountain of corpses. Now it was just us and the cathedral, and the marines inside.
Our inquisitor spoke to them and it appears that for now, he is willing to give them the benefit of doubt, so we haven't nuked their position from orbit yet.
What is your take on these marines?
They have openly declared their allegiance to the Emperor, however they have also flatly stated that the Emperor is by no means a holy man, nor should he be worshipped in any fashion.
Now, of course, the only thing stopping me from charging them in suicidal, burning frenzy was the fact that I had solemnly sworn to let the Inquisition handle this matter until the Missionary fleet arrived.
This got me thinking. Many Astartes chapters have different views of the Emperor than what the Ecclesiarchy would prefer, but I actually don't know alot about how much these views differ, nor if they are openly accepted or if they are secrets, kept between the marines and higher-ups of Imperial government. Nor do I know how to react to these supposedly not-fallen marines.
Are they guilty of heresy, by being Wordbearers alone, or is there some Imperial writ that lets them seek redemption? Does it matter that they were not involved in the Horus Heresy?
Is it even for us to decide, or is it supposed to be decided by the other marines, or some congregation of Ecclesiarhcal, Inquisitorial and other officials?! What kinda matter are we dealing with here.
My gut told me to firebomb them and let it be done with, but I am wondering if there isn't more depth to it than that.
What do you guys think?
Thanks in advance.

" Fifty Shades of Grey catapulted to high popularity shortly after its release, although its credibility as a piece of writing still remains up for debate. Unique, exciting and approachable to read. "

I decided to read this book as I work in a library and try to keep up with what our patrons are reading and what books are popular at the moment. As someone who works in a library it is also very important for me to not judge book before I have read them, so I do try to read books people say are bad or 'controversial', such as Satanic Verses or Lolita.
I guess this is a fun book to read if you have time to kill, but if you are after more serious and heavy things to read, or you are a normal person with common sense, avoid it.
What immediately struck me when reading this book was how poorly written it was. Endless repetition of words, expression and phrases, no variety to the language whatsoever.
The story and characters were not believable either, and this is fine in a work of fiction. But in this book the story and characters are just too out there for anyone to be able to relate to them. Take Ana. A young lady at college who has never had sex, even thought about sex or a sexual encounter prior to meeting Christian. Really? And Christian. A 24 year old, dastardly handsome, fabulously rich singly guy who can cook. And fly a helicopter. And play the piano. Apparently. These are not characters that appear in anything but a young girl's daydream, in my view.
And the sex in the book is just not quite there either. It sounds like mummy porn; multiple orgasms, orgasming the first time Ana ever has sex, sex always and in every encounter done flawlessly and without a hitch or giggle. When does this happen in real life? And don't even get me going on how Christian treats Ana outside of the bedroom.
I a guessing sex sells and that is why this book has come so popular. I cannot see why it would sell so well otherwise. I would only recommend this to a friend if I knew they were into BDSM, and even then I'd tell them to read it with a pinch of salt.
Having heard my friends rave on about Christian Grey on Facebook and Twitter, I have to admit that I was somewhat intrigued. Being an avid bookworm anyway, I was ready for a new book and thought "why not!".
Fifty shades of Grey is basically a love story with a twist. We are introduced to the characters, Ana and Christian and the initial scene with Ana and Christian at the interview sets the tone of the book quite well. Christian is compelled by Ana and it seems that she is mutually attracted. However, the kind of relationship that Ana wants is quite different to what Christian Grey has in mind. He wants to make her his new submissive! Without ruining the story, I will add that not all is what it seems and the story has a few twists and turns on board.
I felt that the story was good in places but at times, seems to go a little off track. It's far too repetitive and nearly had me tearing my hair out at Ana biting her lip on every other page! The erotic scenes are mainly very good but in places somewhat predictable and again repetitive in places.
In summary, it's fine for a light summer read but I personally wouldn't be interested in reading it again. I have however, read the following two books so therefore it does have an ability to keep you interested.
After reading several reviews from other dooyoo users, i was a bit surprised on the outcome that it appears a lot of people didn't actually enjoy reading this book - considering i only ended up reading it because of the massive hype circulating the trilogy, and deciding after most people had read the books a few months previously to finely conform and download the book on my kindle.
i wasn't entirely sure what the books were about but after reading countless status updates on Facebook about 'how amazing christian grey is' and 'the best mummy porn out there' i knew that they were somewhat 'erotic' not realising that they actually focused on BDSM. I was half way through the book when the reader discovers the 'red room of pain' and christians haunted soul, although a little shocked i decided to continue reading.
i found the relationship between christian and Ana interesting, the desire as a woman, to want to nurture someone who is i guess you could describe as 'damaged', and that someone so independent and powerful as christian grey is attracted to 'normal, geeky' Ana and how he also wants her to help 'change' him.
in terms of the writing, the author portrays the clear electricity between christian and ana by the fact that she seems to climax on every page. i ended up skipping through a lot of the sex scenes as they became incredibly repetitive and to be frank, a bit boring.
the constant reference to the book title actually ended up making me giggle a couple of time. - my 50 shades...' 'he really is 50 shades of fucked up..' etc etc. it was stupid basically.
saying that, i didn't read this book for its literacy accuracy, i read it because i am a hopeless romantic, wanted to read something a bit different, and most of the time, it was quite entertaining. obviously it is a fictional novel, so some of the story lines did seem a bit far out there and ridiculous but hey it is no different to a story about something like mass zombies taking over the world?!?
I was a little late jumping on the grey wagon as I tend to be one of those awkward non conformists types who try to resist the temptation of becoming part of the herd for as long as possible. When I eventually caught up with the rest of the world, I found myself bitterly disappointed. What I had hoped to read was a mature and expertly done piece of fiction and yet this was far from the reality of what I actually got.
The book reads like it was written for a much younger audience than what the subject matter allows for. The language is simple except for the occasional word where the writer has clearly used a thesaurus. For any friends fans I likened this to the episode where Joey had used a thesaurus on every word, including his own name, which became baby kangaroo.
As for the 'plot', I struggled to find it, n fact when my kindle died half way through the third book I had still not discovered it and I can only imagine it was buried in the last half of the third book. There was little in the way of subtext and any attempt at drama was quickly squashed with a 'never mind false alarm'.
I realise I am part of the small minority of people who have not managed to experience the delights of the series but having given it a good chance by getting through all 3 books (almost) I feel i can justify my distaste and hope to discourage others from wasting their time as I have.
This is the book that hit the mainstreaming charts with a hit. And not surprising too, as the book contains no academic value at all, making it the perfect read for just about anyone. On first reading the book it took me a while to get passed the poor grammar and just how it was generally structured. However, if you can get passed this, the whole concept of the storyline is very fascinating if not a little bit over done by various other authors. The whole business man and young student with added dom and sub scenario has been around for years, however none which got so much publicity as this. The more fascinating part is that E.L.James not only managed to get this in the charts, but also another two follow up books, leading the storyline further into the lives of the main characters showing how they developed their lustful relationship into something of a more serious substance.
Like most people, I decided to read Fifty Shades of Grey purely to see what all the fuss was about and so I could better understand my colleague's tongue-in-cheek comments, making fifty shades references about everything from her keyboard to the water cooler.
This book must be amazing, I thought.
While I don't pretend to be any sort of literary genius and I often read simple, good-page-turner-not-much-substance type books for nothing more than pure escapism, this book annoyed me. It annoyed me because it was supposed to be amazing and it wasn't.
Not only in the sense that it was an anti-climax after all the hype but it's actually a really poorly written book. I'm sure I couldn't do the job any better but I don't pretend to be able to and haven't been transformed into a multi-millionaire off the back of something so badly crafted. But, EL James herself is probably completely awestruck by its success too. I don't blame her for misleading me, I blame the publicity machine surrounding this book.
In a nutshell, the characters were unbelievable, there wasn't any substance to the plot, the language and sentence structure is appalling and once you've read one BDSM sex scene you've read them all; it becomes repetitive and a chore to read.
But, sex sells. And so-called "mummy porn" just so happens to be in this season.
There can be no other explanation as to why this book has been so successful.
I don't normally read books just because I'm too busy or too tired, and the only time I read book is when I am relaxing on holiday because I don't have much to do except relax and get a good tan!
I only reason I bought this book was back in 2012, when EVERYBODY was writing statues on facebook about how they cannot put this book down and everyone was talking about it. So I decided to buy the book just to what the hype and fuss was about.
I saw an offer in Morrisons for £3.99, and the next day when I went to buy it, the whole shelf with that book being advertised was empty! That's how popular it was at the time - but then I went to WHSmiths and had to pay an extra four pounds, I was hoping it was going to be a good read like everyone said it was or claimed to be.
The story is about a young, final year student, named Anastasia Steele who has to take the role of an interviewer because of her friend's Kate's illness. Which does not do either of them a favor as Anastasia has final exams approaching, putting more stress on Anastasia, but helping Kate out as she is too ill to do her job. It turns out that she is interviewing a man named Christian Grey. Christian Grey is a wealthy, young, attractive, successful entrepreneur. As the story progresses, Anastasia starts to fall for him and develops feelings for Christian as they start making regular visits with each other, with Christian spoiling her rotten and meeting/picking her up in exclusive cars and helicopter rides, after Christian turns up at a store where Anastastia works.
Anastasia learns that Christian is more than just being an attractive, wealthy man but has a very sexy side to him which has to be kept distance between them and making this secret between them, and Christian makes a contract with this relationship. Anastasia just wants more of him, more than just friends with benefits. This man is what any girl could dream of, and this book will keep you gripped to the pages wanting to read on and find out more...
My overview of this book is that it is probably the most sexiest book I have read, since reading Secret Diary of a Call girl, it is very tensions and very cliff-hanging which makes you want to read on more, I will admit I read up to two or three chapters a day! The best bit is around chapter eight - chapter nine. Very tense, I had the unfortunate luck of reading this on a train and I couldn't read it without feeling awkward.
So I could see why there was a big hype about this novel! A film is due to come out next year, so there's going to be a bigger hype than the novel!
After months of listening to people 'big up' this book and hearing all the hype, i decided to give in and give it a read. How i really wish i hadn't.
there really isn't much of a plot to this book, perhaps Ana's eventual acceptance of Christians lifestyle? other than that there is hardly any plot development throughout the entire book. as an erotica book, obviously there was going to be mentions of sex in the book, but the sheer amount is ridiculous and not even tactfully used. It is also slightly unrealistic and far fetched. i think there is a sex act or reference to sex on at least every other page.
the language is very simple, with no clever lexis or other types of high quality grammar you would expect to find in a published book (metaphors, pathetic fallacy etc).
unlike other books, this really hasn't lived up to the hype, with it not really being gripping or a page turner. it was honestly more of a chore to carry on reading, with the notion that id endured so much i owed it to myself to finish it. it felt like the author didnt really have an idea about writing a good quality book with substance, and instead just filled the majority of the book with sex, believing in the saying that 'sex sells', which unfortunately in the case of this book series it has.
i only dread the upcoming release of the film and hope that the directors have more tact than the author
Honestly, what seemed to have propel the novels standing in the world of litreature was hype.
Firstly, the novel had very little plot. The novel centered mainly around sex - which I believe was overused. There must have been a sexual act occuring on almost every page. This got boring, very fast. The novels plot, albeit a lack of plot, was very thin, quite corny and overused. They are together, he is damaged, wants the female protagonist solely for sex, falls in love and there is an obsessive stalker. The obsessive stalker, in my opinion, was just something added in - it was utterly useless. It was akin to adding spices to an already spicy dish.
What mainly frustrated me was the triology. It was definitley not needed. The novel could have been done in one book. There was definitley no need for 3 novels - this caused the sexual aspects of the novel to become overused and utterly tedious. After all, how many times can we read of the same act occuring, with the same two characters?
What I really vehmently disliked was the fact that the male protagonists sexual preferences were put down to his childhood. This was also not sufficently explored, in my opinion.
Overall, the book has a lack of plot and is too sexualised - which gets boring very quick!
I was really excited to buy this book after hearing how it was the book of the decade and an abolute must read, I was very disappointed. It really could have been written by a child or a teenager doing a mock exam, was no clever writing, no indepth content, characters weren't believable or likeable and I found reading it actually quite boring. The benefits are that it is extremely easy reading so requires no thought or effort. It's a book you can unwind to in the bath or when you're wanting to relax but if you are wanting something gritty and to get your teeth into then this book is not for you.
The sex scenes in it are scenes you can find in any book, nothing like they are made out to be all shocking and new, really just the same kind of stuff that authors have been writing for years. I wouldn't bother reading this again.
This is a book that has become essentially very famous of late for its no-holds barred description of erotica and BDSM; it is has been labelled groundbreaking in the way in which it appeals to female sexuality as perhaps no other novel before has done?
That said, this is not a well-written book. No-one is alleging that. It's clichéd, trite, at time excruciating and of course it was originally Twilight fan-fiction so don't go into it with hopes high for a literary exploration of female sexuality.
That said, it is very educational insofar as sex goes: if you wish to know what you're missing or spice up your bedroom life then this is an excellent route into further erotica. It's extremely readable and it's probably a good idea to skim through it before its film adaptation this year.
However, it's probably a good idea to buy it new or on Kindle. Enough said, I think.
Bought the book on my kindle because I was too embarrassed to buy it in store. However, it was not the overtly erotic novel I expected it to be!
On starting the book I learnt a lot about s&m bedroom activities, things that I never dreamed of, but by the end of the book the sex descriptions became long winded, repetitive and boring. I am a normal 30 something but towards the end I found myself flicking the pages at the over the top sex scenes as to get back to the love story unfolding. And yes the love story had me gripped - I had to buy the next two books as well - however I did not think it was any better than other love stories I have read recently. In places I would even go as far as saying badly written!
In short this hyped erotic novel is a page turner that's a must for a 21st century women but not book of the year by a long shot.
There was this massive hype about this series of books.. at the time I never really knew much about it. Decided to purchase my first one of the series (this book), to see what I think before carrying on with the series.
When I first started to read it I never knew it would be quite as erotic as it tuned out to be. I am extremely broad minded so it didn't startle me whatsoever.
I simply couldn't put the book down because I got engrossed with Ana the main character and the weird S and M guy she met a long the way called Christian. .sounds very debonaire and handsome but isn't so right in the head so she should have really steered clear of him.
Christian is a lot older than Ana and is extremely rich so he can provide anything that she wants.. he treats her with lavish gifts and lives in a great apartment, so she is lucky in that respect.
Would definitely recommend the whole series
Definitely not for the crude people amongst us!
~ As this is a high opinionated topic, please be aware this is MY opinion **SPOILERS might be included**~
So I bought this for my kindle before the big hype and hoo-har started. I read all three books within five days. This being a huge accomplishment considering I hated reading and hadn't read since leaving school. In fact this was my first 'book' I bought for the kindle, the first of many. I now love reading and my kindle is my best friend. That is a whole other review tho ;-)
** The Plot **
Sweet sexually innocent twenty something girl called Ana, falls for a hot CEO of his own company, rich man who is also in his twenties called Christian Grey! Just wondering, did I say super hot? From reading on other social networking sites fans and haters think that Ana is a innocent 'little' girl but in all honesty for me she is head strong, knows what she wants but falls to pieces around Mr Grey. Don't we all around our true love? She in my eyes is just innocent sexually. Which brings me onto the next part. It is all not what it seems, he is very much into being a dominant and having a submissive at his will. BDSM is all he has ever known, contracts rolled up. As the story goes on they fall in love and lots of other things happen (I don't want to give away too much so will leave it at that).
** My Thoughts **
As you can probably tell I LOVED them all three, I am a avid fan and can not wait until the movie is out. Though they are taking their time!!! Enjoying reading about all the filming and so happy that Jamie Dornan is Mr Grey :D!
One thing I will say is when you read them, okay they aren't the best written books in the world (again please remember it was a FAN Fiction she just got a lucky break) any way back to my point, you really have to see beyond the whole BDSM lifestyle and see the bigger picture that this is a love story that goes so far beyond the "sex" stuff. In fact during some of the book (people who have read and enjoyed them might agree) but there was even parts where I welled up and could of cried, one bit in particular I did indeed cry. You do get attached to the characters and this is what I believe is the making for a really good book/series.
It will not be everyone's cup of tea like everything else in life we have our own tastes but if you want some erotic, fun or easily readable books I definitely recommend you BUY these :-) I could indeed talk for England about these books, I've read them a few times ;) so well worth them pennies as they are not a one hit wonder. Every time I have re read them I have found something else that I have missed or can not remember.
Hope this helps and please comment below if you have any comment.
Everyones heard of the elusive Mr Christian Grey and to be fair I decided to buy the book itself purely because of so many people writing about it and saying how brilliant it was. To be fair it was an interesting read to say the least but for me I couldn't really understand the book as it seemed to be all over the place and I couldn't really find a plot or storyline to follow. Being an avid reader myself of many genres I had thought maybe reading this book would be exciting and that I would be spewing all sorts of praise for it having finished it. In actual fact only for the fact that it came with the other two books in the trilogy I wouldn't have went out to buy the second and third book as I finished the book a little frustrated as to what exactly it was all about.
In saying that book 2 and 3 are brilliant reads and are in fact books that you don't want to put down until you have finished them. The plot develops, theirs a storyline to follow, the characters develop and the overall story is amazing. For Fifty Shades of Grey whilst its not the best book in the trilogy it at least introduced the key characters in the collection and I dont regret reading it after finishing the trilogy. Im glad I gave it a chance!

From the Archives: Miracles and Science, Part 5
By getting rid of the miracle stories in the Bible, Bultmann and his followers hoped to make the Christian story more palatable to modern man. Although I recognize the emotional weight of this sentiment, I am not convinced that it is an intellectually coherent approach, mainly for reasons of self-consistency.
From the Archives: Speciation and Macroevolution
A common challenge to evolutionary theory is that while life does indeed change over time (what is known as microevolution), no one has ever seen one species evolve into another species (macroevolution).

Are We Genetically Predisposed to Believe in God?
This entry was originally posted on February 13, 2010. While the question of evolutionary predisposition toward religious belief may be challenging, Christians need not see it as threatening. In fact, this is actually a Pauline notion that is explored in Romans 1, where Paul claims that it is in mankind's nature to "know God".
Evolution: What We Know and What We Don't
This entry was originally posted on February 17, 2010. In this video conversation, Jeff Schloss makes the observation that when we use the term "evolution", it is not always exactly clear what we are actually discussing unless we denote the intended usage.
Stochastic Grace
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
Evolution and Immunity: Same Story?
The evidence suggests that God has chosen to work through a random process, one which involves the routine creation and destruction of millions of cells that never get used. This is the ordinary means by which God maintains our health. The miracles of healing recorded in the Bible are miraculous precisely because they don't occur by this normal, natural process.
Evolution, the Enlightenment, and Worldviews
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright discusses how the Enlightenment worldview -- which clearly separates God from the world -- has impacted our view of Scripture, and why cleaning the "spectacles" through which we view the world can help us see both Scripture and the world more clearly.
Made in the Image of God: Human Values and Genomics
Genes and physiology are seen as something different from "us" and "our mind," and they seem to be controlling us, so we can't even change our mind. Humans are presented as pawns of their biology, puppets dancing to the tune of their genetic masters.
Does Evolution Compromise Human Morality?
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
Why Strict Atheism Is Unscientific
Do you believe in God? If a cadre of outspoken, strong atheists wrote a litmus test for scientists, that might very well be question #1.
Series: "And God Saw That It Was Good": Death and Pain in the Created Order (6 entries)
The tension generated by our understanding of God's character, as revealed in the Bible, and by the reality of the natural world around us has been the focus of much debate within the Christian church since the first century. This series examines critically several of the proposed solutions to this problem, viewing them from the perspective of a geologist, paleontologist, and orthodox evangelical Christian.
Can Science Ever Know Enough?
To say something is poetic is not to declare it ultimately untrue, futile and meaningless—it is to say it is more profound and meaningful and true than many other modes of expression.

text: The Iowa Department of Natural Resources has been closely monitoring two diseases affecting deer heading into the fall of 2012 – Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease and Chronic Wasting Disease. The DNR created a webpage off the Deer Hunting tab in the Hunting section to go in to more detail on the diseases. The direct link is http://www.iowadnr.gov/Hunting/DeerHunting/CWDEHDInformation.aspx. The page will be updated as new information becomes available. Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease, or EHD, has been widely reported throughout Iowa and neighboring states. Losses due to EHD occur annually, usually at low levels and in localized areas. In dry years it can be worse as deer are more concentrated around water, and since the disease is spread by a biting midge, more deer can become infected. Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) is a neurological disease affecting deer and elk. It is caused by an abnormal protein - known as a prion - that essentially eats holes in the brains of infected animals. In the latter stages of the disease, animals appear disoriented, lethargic and emaciated. They often exhibit excessive thirst, salivation, urination and drooping head and ears. It is always fatal to the infected animal.

What Carrie Bradshaws Closet Looks Like NOW
Interior and set design duo Marks & Frantz reimagine every fashion girl's dream closet from Sex and the City
By Sarah Bray
Close your eyes: Envision that scene from 2010's Sex and the City 2 movie where Mr. Big gifts fiancé Carrie Bradshaw a closet. The shoe-obsessed New Yorker swoons. End scene and cue audience envy. The set designers' behind that epic walk-in wonder, and Bradshaw's smaller downtown version (that she decided to still keep as storage space and a as-needed marital escape), were Lydia Marks and Lisa Frantz. Four years after hitting theaters, the successful design duo is still receiving calls for "Carrie" closets. This week at Housing Works Design on a Dime, the design duo reimagines a closet for the 2014 Carrieall for a good cause.
If you find yourself in the city April 25-26, you can see a Marks & Frantz "Carrie" closet for yourself at Housing Works Design on a Dime (a popular 3-day interior design showcase benefitting Housing Works Get A Room for homeless and low-income New Yorkers living with and affected by HIV/AIDS).

Column Line Array Loudspeakers
Oct 10, 2012 2:43 PM, By Mark Johnson
Community Professional Loudspeakers' Entasys ENT220 two-way compact column array loudspeaker has a frequency response of 80Hz to 22kHz and a maximum peak output of 130dB SPL peak. The extruded paintable PVC enclosure houses 20 80mm low-frequency long-excursion mylar drivers and four, three-element Compact Ribbon Emulators. Vertical coverage is 15 degrees and horizontal coverage is 140 degrees. The system provides for 8Ω or 70V/100V operation.
Featuring 32 4in. transducers, Duran Audio's AXYS Intellivox-DS500 is one tall loudspeaker, standing less than 195in. tall. Digitally steerable and capable of synthesizing a 3D radiation pattern, the array is powered by 16 40W Class D amplifiers and using onboard DSP and DDS (Digital Directivity Synthesis). As such, the coverage pattern is 130-degrees horizontal with a variable vertical coverage. The frequency range is 130Hz to 10kHz and peak SPL is 100db.
The EAW LS832 employs eight 4in. woofers and three 1in. soft-dome tweeters mounted on a baffle with a slight convex arc. The coverage provided is 140 degrees horizontal x 20 degrees vertical with a frequency response of 200Hz to 20kHz. The calculated full range peak output is 126dB SPL. Designed for permanent install, connections are affected via a two-terminal barrier strip and six 1/4in., 20 threaded mounting points are integrated into the Baltic birch plywood enclosure.
At just a little more than 6.5ft., JBL's new CBT 200LA-1 is tall. Comprising 32 2in. drivers in two modules, the system provides vertical pattern coverage that is switchable between 30 and 15 degrees with a symmetrical pattern or an asymmetrical progressive-gradient coverage that is narrower at the top and broader at the bottom of the array. The voicing is adjustable via a music/speech setting switch. The frequency range is 80Hz to 20kHz, and maximum SPL is 129dB (in speech mode and narrow vertical coverage).
The K-Array KP52 3D line array element variable beam speaker provides a variable vertical coverage selectable between "spot" (10 degrees) and "flood" (45 degrees). The horizontal coverage is 90 degrees. The weatherproof system can be used for outdoor applications. The frequency range is 100Hz to 20kHz with a maximum peak SPL of 128.
Meyer Sound's CAL (Column Array Loudspeaker) is a self-powered system that offers vertical coverage that is variable from five to 30 degrees, with beam steerage up or down 30 degrees. The horizontal coverage is 120 degrees. The CAL 96 uses 24 4in. drivers and 72 20mm tweeters, each with their own Class D amplifier. The operating frequency range is 100Hz to 16 kHz, and the maximum peak SPL is 106dB.
