I posted this already on the cleaning forum, but though maybe some parents could help if their child had bed wetting problems. Sorry for the cross-post!
Help! I have my 4 kids staying with us from out of town for the month and the 5 y/o peed on my 2 month old sofa!! Is there any tried and true methods to getting rid of the stain/ smell?? We bought a warranty for the sofa for things such as this, but after reading the fine print today, it does not cover pet / human body fluids. I feel like crying...... |
Follow-Up Postings:
Clean immediately with a baby wipe. That alone seemed to deoderize for me. But if the smell is still there, mix baking soda and hot water in a spray bottle. Spray on, and blot off with a clean, white cloth. Good luck!!! |
Use a product from the pet store called Nature's Miracal.....works like magic to remove urine stains....and odor. Linda C |

Fabreeze did the business for me when the cat got shut in the bedroom one day and had the choice - either pee on the bed or explode. He chose to moisten my blankets. If fabreeze can neutralise tomcat's pee, surely it can do the same for your predicament. |
Do the cushions come off? I have been know to disassemble to cushions and take them outside to hose them off. I even wash the covers in a very gentle wash cycle and hang dry. And use Nature's Miracle. |

Put 1 part vinegar and 3 parts water in a spray bottle. Spray the cushion and set it outside, not in direct sunlight, or you'll bleach the fabric! I cloth diaper, and this is how I get the smell out of my diaper pail!! It cuts the urine smell! This works in the bathroom as well if you have a little boy who 'misses', or a hubby who does!!!! HAHA! -Lisa |
Hi I have had similar issues and i swear by this site as it covered most of my needs. I tried fabreeze without any luck although it made the area smell nice for a short time :0 I find detergents don't do it for me so we must have strong urine LOL |
Here is a link that might be useful: urine stains

Varian Wrynn is Right {WoW}
May 10th 2009 1:21PM Cheesy story. Very cheesy indeed.
Varian is a Rexar rip-off and Grom wannabe.
It is really absurd they even made a comic series just for him.
Also it is ironic that Alliances get a hero so much like Horde-style.
Alliance is not right. Don't try to justify their meanings.
They attacked to New Horde at the first place, even they helped Alliance against the Demon invasion.
It is also ironic to say "New Horde doesn't punish aggresive orcs". Cause, aggressive Alliances don't be punished too.
Also don't forget Alliance's racist behavior, they turned their back to High/Blood Elves.

Yes, it gives dramatic lashes but what's the point if the are sticking down straight over my eye? This pulls curl out of my long, somewhat fine lashes like no other. The brush deposits too much product and weighs my lashes down more than any other mascara I've tried. On top of it all, it flakes off my lower lashes. I've tried this deluxe sample 5 different times with the same results no matter how I apply it. Perhaps it works on someone with really thick curly lashes but I'm throwing it in the garbage right now.
I found this one to be the best out of the hypnose and definicils because it looks great on both upper and bottom lashes. i have medium length and not so thick lashes so when i wear mascara everything looks natural. i have received so much compliments about how my eye makeup looks gorgeous and when i went home and looked in the mirror, i noticed that my eyes look like it had very well done eyeliner on when i wasnt wearing any! i do agree with the name "drama", it does give you a dramatic look. Fairly expensive ($58 NZD) but the amount of product, packaging, brush and product itself are worth it. I agree on how the curvy brush picks up alot of the product but it lasted a very long time for me. I go to high school and wear it mon-fri including some weekends and this lasted 4 months without drying out. after 4 months i was still able to use the mascara which has become a bit drier but it still has some left in it and was usable.
I got a free sample of this mascara from my local drugstore. It's important to mention that I almost never wear eye makeup, so I don't have a whole lot of experience with it, but it's definitely not a good mascara.
The brush seems to pick up too much product, making the application messy and clumpy. It does accomplish the task of making my eyelashes look thicker, and the smell is pleasantly floral, but you can buy much better, cheaper mascaras (I understand it's sold for about $30).
This is everything I hate in a mascara....thick (not in a good way), clumpy, messy brush that applies too much product and contributes to the clumpy effect. I'm not one of those people who wants her lashes to look like bottle brushes; I like them to look believably "natural" but a bit longer, darker, thicker and each lash more defined. NOT at all what I get with this mascara.
UPDATE: Liking this somewhat better now that it seems to be drying out a bit. I still need to brush through with a dry spoolie or eye lash comb and using the comb actually prompted me to try one of Wayne Goss's techniques for great natural looking lashes. He recommends running the mascara wand over a lash comb (one with metal teeth - I use the Tweezerman one) and then using the comb to apply the mascara. While the comb itself looks lethal (take your time and be careful) the results are fabulous especially if, like me, you don't want that "bottle brush" effect.
Oh my god! I can't believe this mascara has gotten so many bad reviews, when it's actually super! This mascara i absolutely fabolous! I bought this on my trip to Paris, France and I use it almost every day.
- It doesn't smudge.
- Gives lots of volume even if you don't curl your lashes.
- Holds the curl.
- Stays on ALL day.
- Doesn't flake.
- Easy to remove.
- Gives lots of length.
- Thickens lashes.
- Separates well.
- Beautiful, black colour.
- Can give some clumps.
- A bit expensive.
This mascara is really show-stopping and does wonders for your lashes. I couldn't believe the results when I first tried it on! You get wonderful, false-like lashes. If you are going for the natural look, this is not the mascara for you. Overall, it's a great mascara.
5 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This mascara worked great for the first week I opened it and was very volumizing. However after one week it became very goopy and make my lashes look very spidery with even one coat! Pretty sure I was closing it tight so maybe just the way the formula is as it starts to dry. With the price, not worth just using for a week unfortunately so won't repurchase
This was awful! It clumped like nothing before! And yes it was drama, but not in a positive way. I'm gonna throw it right away. And it was were expensive!
There are 2 things I don't like about this mascara...the brush and the smell. It has a very floral/rosy scent which hung around long after applying. I really loved the volume and length it gave my lashes though. The only reason I would not repurchase is the high price tag.
I love Lancôme Hypnose. I bought drama hoping for something...well, a bit more dramatic. The formula itself is good. The brush is a bit tricky to use (use it in a u shape then flip) but the bad thing is that WAY too much product gets on the brush - it clumps horribly and I end up wasting so much of it combing it or scooping it off the brush. I have taken to dipping my old Dior wand into the tube and using that - which somehow doesn't get way overcoated in product. If you look at photo number 3, that girls lashes are exactly what mine turn out like when I use the overcoated brush. If you like that look you will love this product. If you want a less clumpy look, it takes work and isn't worth it - buy something else. For reference my faves are Dior show, Lancôme Hypnose and benefit they're real.

Who do you think looks best today? (5 photos)
The best street style from London Fashion Week: http://ow.ly/p48HS via @StyleCaster
According to N.Y.C. dermatologist Francesca Fusco, it's how you prep your skin before working out?not how you clean it afterward?that prevents breakouts most effectively. "Wipe your face with a disposable cleansing cloth before you begin. Exercising with makeup on can clog pores and obstructs the normal production of oil, sebum, and perspiration." To mattify without causing zits, dust your T-zone with a tinted mineral powder like one from Colorescience (colorescience.com).

Blender lags
I am running Ubuntu feisty with and ATI card with 128 ram, 1 gig of ram in my computer, on a Dell Inspiron 5100.

Are you by any chance running Beryl/Compiz too? I've found that with some applications you get some bugs while running them with Beryl. I can't think that it can be a display driver issue, I mean it's just a couple of buttons so I can't think that installing the ATi drivers might resolve the problem, however they are in the Ubuntu repositories in case you don't have them, give it a shot!

I installed the ATI Radeon Mobility driver, and I made sure that I don't even have Beryl installed, and neither seems to help. I'll look to see if there is quality settings on blender i can change.
This confuses me because I have run blender on a system with worse specs than this.

Tom Jones ønskede at indspille med Elvis (engelsk)
In 1965 Tom visited his music idol Elvis Presley on the set of the movie Paradise, Hawaiian Style at Paramount Studios in Hollywood.
Their mutual musical admiration sparked a close friendship which lasted until the King of Rock's death in 1977.
When both singers appeared in Las Vegas – Elvis at the Hilton and Tom at Caesar's Palace – they would stay up all night singing old gospel and
country songs around the piano in a hotel suite.
Tom said: "Elvis loved gospel music more than anything else. He would bring his vocal group up to my suite and we'd sing songs such as Why Me by Kris Kristofferson. Another favourite was Killing Me Softly by Roberta Flack.
"I first met Elvis in 1965, my very first year in showbusiness.
"I got to know him well but it was still nerve-wracking. I was in awe.
"We would literally stand around the piano until 4am or 5am just singing.
"Sometimes he wouldn't let me out of the door. I used to say, 'Elvis, I gotta go…I've got to get ready for my show'. But Elvis didn't want to stop singing."
Tom's biggest regret is that he never got the chance to record a song with Elvis.
He once tried to bootleg his hero but was rumbled by Joe Esposito from the Memphis Mafia, the US singer's close-knit and fiercely protective entourage.
Tom said: "I'd love to have made a record with Elvis but his manager, Colonel Tom Parker, wouldn't let him sing with anybody else.
"He did a Frank Sinatra TV special but that was it.
"In those days it was also impossible to get artists from different record labels into the same studio. Had we both been signed to RCA Records I might have had a chance.
"On one occasion I was in Hawaii and all calls to my hotel suite were blocked. When Elvis called up, they wouldn't put him through. When he told the operator, 'It's Elvis Presley', she thought he was a nut.
"When Elvis made it to the suite and we began singing, I stuck a cassette into a tape machine and recorded the session.
"But Joe Esposito spotted it and confiscated the tape. So the Memphis Mafia put the blocks on it.
"I would have loved to have had just one tape of Elvis and me singing.
"I wouldn't have done anything with it. I'd just have kept it as a private keepsake. But it wasn't to happen.

I have a few questions about replacing an existing bathtub with a shower as we remodel our bathroom, The existing tub on our upper floor was plumbed with a 1.5 inch p-trap and then a horizontal run of about 9 feet before it heads vertically downwards towards the basement between all the walls. My understanding is that code calls for 2 inch drain pipe for a shower. My question is somewhere along the line (I can rip up the subfloor) I need to transition form the new 2 inch drain to the 1.5 inch line and what would be the best place to place this reducer to minimize the speed at which water can flow. It could be right at point the drain meets the the p-trap where I could reduce to 1.5 inch p-trap or I could put in a 2 inch p-trap and 2 inch line and then transition at the point the horizontal drain line connects to the 1.5 inch vertical drain line between the walls headed to the basement. I am thinking the second option would be better? My second question I son venting- the existing tub never drained very fast. The current vent is about 52 inches form the existing p-trap. I have looked at code on the web and it varies by jurisdiction with it being with 5 feet in some and within 3.5 feet. My question is if I move the vent closer than the existing 52 inches could I increase the rate at which the water drains. If I actually left the first vent in place and added a second vent that was closer could this cause a problem? Any advice would be appreciated |

Code prohibits decreasing the size of a line in the direction of flow. (Common sense should explain why). If you pull the tub and replace it with a shower you will be required to make the entire run of the drain line with 2" until it connects to a larger line. Under the IRC a 1-1/2" line requires a vent within 6' of the trap, while under the UPC they only allow 3'6" from trap weir to vent opening. For a 2" line the IRC allows 8' while the UPC only allows 5', however according to your profile you are in Canada and I do not have the Canadian Plumbing code so you will have to find out what your local code requires. Generally you can call the code inspection office, any local plumber or perhaps the reference desk at your local library to find out what your requirements are. All vents must rise vertically until they reach an elevation at least 6" higher than the flood level rim of the highest fixture served by that vent. |
afaik. each province has its own code, and they all allow 1.5" drains. Everyone says so, but I've never seen it in writing. Check with a Master Plumber. Any Master Plumber. They are professionals who do not lie. They know 100% for certain what is required and they tell you the truth, when it concerns their expertise; also you do not have to hire them first before they answer questions about their area of expertise. Each Master Plumber will give you the same answer as the previous one and the next one. Ditto, do not decrease any "drain line in the direction of flow." The trap size has to be the same as the drain size. Many people conclude that a 2" trap can be reduced to a 1.5." pipe after the trap. Use a 1.5" trap if the drain line is to going to be 1.5" diameter. This is very serious, not to be disregarded. Ask a Master Plumber if you need to hear it again. You may wonder why you see on the internet that showers need 2" ... It find the 2" diameter requirement for showers to be overkill. I'm surprised that after many years of searching, I've never seen an internet comment from an experienced Master Plumber telling me how Code changed over the years. I'm 100% certain that a 1.5" drain line used to be Code everywhere, for showers. I'd like to know what discussion went into voting for the new size, 2" diameter. (?) Code has changed over the years and will continue to change in the future. Imagine all the people who have been forced to do a lot of extra work for no reason !! When a 1.5" drain already plumbed could have been used, they ripped it all out and put a 2" drain in. I'm not a plumber. Since this is a discussion forum, I'm posting this here as part of a *discussion*; everything I have written here concurs with the previous post from an expert who knows, and who shares, precisely what is code today. Code has changed over the years and will continue to change in the future. |

Absolutely worth it (737 comments)
I have to add my thanks for your post. It was very well written and really made my day. It didn't change my mind (I already agree) but it was a great description of the state of fear in the US. I only hope that a lot more people read that post and any similar things you write. We need more voices to say what is happening and help bring the US back from this point.
Thanks for linking to that video. It'll be a long time before I trust the police in the US again.

The Equinox LED clock by Bram Knaapan is an innovative new way to look at clocks. Instead of using traditional hands the way most clocks do, this clock is open in the center and looks like a big illuminated ring. The clock uses LED lights lining the outside to produce colorful bars that travel around the clock to tell you the time.
The color scheme changes with the time of day, and the clock is also able to light up entirely and use dark spaces (where the LEDs aren't lit up) as the "hands" instead. The Equinox LED clock is difficult to read at first but fantastic to look at once you understand it.

Whether it's national comics on the rise or local performers displaying their acting, singing or dancing talent, McHenry County has a wide array of live theater entertainment to suit any taste and budget.
Fall and winter are a great time to enjoy a night out at the theater. Whether your plans are a special date night or introducing your kids to the magic of live performance, check out one of McHenry County's great local venues.
Raue Center for the Arts Now in its 12th year, downtown Crystal Lake's Raue Center for the Arts offers an eclectic mix of national, regional and local performing arts, live music, comedy, children's shows, lectures, films and more.
The 750-seat theater opened in 1929 as the El Tovar movie theater. Later known as the Lake and then the Showplace, it closed in the 1990s until a gift by lifelong Crystal Lake resident Lucille Raue allowed the Crystal Lake Civic Center Authority to purchase and renovate the theater.
The restored interior still features many original details such as the façade of a Spanish village in the auditorium.
Executive Director Richard Kuranda says that during the past four years, the Raue has focused on ways to broaden its audience, adding an array of lower-cost, cabaret-style shows to its season of nationally known performers.
"The $20 ticket price point has been welcomed by the community, especially by a younger audience that wants to come out but can't afford some of the higher-priced tickets," Kuranda says.
One of the most popular offers is Lucy's Café comedy night.
"We've worked closely with Zanies Comedy Club in Chicago to book some of the acts coming into the area," Kuranda says. "These are people you might see at Zanies on Saturday nights, but we have them on Friday night."
Other cabaret shows include Lucy's Music Café and Nashville Backstage.
The Williams Street Repertory Company is the Raue's resident company made up of professional actors from the area and from Chicago.
"Most have some professional credits, but occasionally we have people who are new to professional theater," says T. Paul Lowry, producing director for the Raue Center and the Williams Street Repertory Company.
For the holiday season, the company will present "It's a Wonderful Life" radio drama. Set in the late 1940s, the drama includes a play-within-a-play, as a cast of radio actors attempt to broadcast the Christmas classic.
"It's Christmas Eve, and everything that can happen does, as the cast tries to pull everything together," Lowry says.
The Raue also will present "The Nutcracker Ballet" in conjunction with the Berkshire Ballet Theater of Crystal Lake. Now in its sixth year, the ballet is an annual favorite featuring local dancers and professionals.
"Every town needs a holiday tradition, and the community has embraced it," Kuranda says. "It's become a benchmark of the holiday season."

Woodstock Opera House Built in the 1890s and city owned for all of its 122 years, the Woodstock Opera House has been a city hall, town library, fire department and performing arts center.
"In Victorian times, it was fashionable for cities to have a place for people to gather for events, theater and dance," says John Scharres, managing director. "This has been maintained and owned by the city of Woodstock as a service to the public."
The theater's first floor public rooms are used for parties, community events and exhibits such as the annual holiday display featuring trees decorated by more than 30 community groups.
Next door, a newer building constructed 10 years ago houses the Stage Left Café, offering live music, open mic nights, storytelling, coffee house events and more.
"It was originally a glorified concession stand, but it's now become a venue in its own right," Scharres says.
The opera house auditorium seats 410 and preserves the look of the 1890s.
"It's a state-of-the-art theater in an historical box," Scharres says. "We preserved and restored what we could, but you can't light with open flame anymore. We have digital sound and are in the process of upgrading our lighting. It's good now, but we want it to be great."
The opera house hosts local and national performers and is home to two local theater companies. Each December, the opera house presents the Judith Svalander Dance Theater's production of "The Nutcracker."
"A lot of people use it as a way to introduce young kids to classical music and the theater experience," Scharres says. "Everyone gets dressed up and goes out for dinner afterwards. Because it's a non-verbal show, we also have people with hearing disabilities, because the story is told with music, not words."

Black Box Theatre Located on the McHenry County College campus, the Black Box Theatre is both a training ground for aspiring actors and other theater professionals and a resource for the community.
"Our goal is to educate students with [a]nice, eclectic mix of productions, everything from Greek tragedies to American classics," says Jay Geller, chairman of theater, speech and journalism at MCC.
"We want to expose the students to different things and also to illuminate the community."
Past productions have run the gamut, such as works by renowned playwrights Sam Shepard and Tennessee Williams, to modern Broadway hits such as "The Wedding Singer." William Shakespeare's comedy "The Twelfth Night" will open in November.
Cast members and crew are primarily MCC students, though many productions include people from the community, MCC faculty and alumni.
"We try to make the experience as professional as possible, whether the students will be transferring to a four-year school or going out and starting to audition professionally," Geller says.
That approach applies to not only the cast members, but also those behind the scenes.
"We work hard on the sets, lighting and costumes," Geller says. "There are a lot of people doing a lot of hard work to make it the best we possibly can."
He describes the 100-seat theater as a big, empty room that can be arranged to fit the production.
"We have done theater in the round, thrust, alley — we can build it to whatever we want," he says. "It's a very versatile space."
Geller says the goal for each show is to make it "the best show we've ever done."
"When people come out and see our shows, we want them to say, 'Wow! What an amazing thing we have right here in the community.'"

Shattering Glass with my Voice
Name: N/A Status: N/A Age: N/A Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: N/A
I hope I have the correct section! One of my students is trying to put together an in class project where she shatters a glass using her voice. Our question is how would we find out the correct thickness of the glass that would shatter with her voice? Or what type of glass works best for this. Any help or advice would be appreciated!
You need very high quality (ie. expensive) glass. The likelihood of the glass shattering increases with the Q value for the resonance of interest. You can tell what the resonant frequencies are by just hitting the glass with a fork (I do this at parties all the time) and the Q value would be determined by the length of time the tone the glass makes takes to decay till you cannot hear it any more. Also, the thinner the glass the more likely it will shatter. Try to find a thin glass with a resonant frequency in a range where your student can sing and with a very long-lasting tone, and get her to sing long notes exactly on that resonant pitch. It still might not work though... Good luck!

Contract speaks with New York-based architectural photographer, Edward Addeo, to learn more about the inspirations behind his breath-taking work.
Name: Edward Addeo
Company: Edward Addeo Photography (www.edwardaddeo.com)
Portfolio Sample: W Washington, D.C.
How and why did you get into architectural photography?
I have had a fascination with atmosphere, color, and texture from the beginning. I captured the play of light and texture in a series of photographs of my great grandfather's old Brooklyn home. This led to interior assignments with The New York Times Magazine, Vogue Living Section, House Beautiful, and Architectural Digest.
What do you consider your specialty in the field?
Imparting luminosity, mood, color, and attitude to interiors and interior objects.
What is the most fulfilling part of your job?
I enjoy it when clients react emotionally to the image and imagine the space with their senses.
What is your favorite type of space to shoot and why?
Intimate spaces in rich, deep colors, and atmospheric natural light.
What is your favorite architectural interior and why?
The Pantheon in Rome, because it embodies and underscores an understanding of natural light and earth's orbit. The display of the sun's movement through a fixed opening, the oculus, evokes a primal, elemental scene.
I would not have selected another career. If I had to I would have set my sights on lighting and design for the stage.
What is the best thing you've learned in the past 10 years?
Understanding the natural atmosphere of a room and working with it.
A sense of humor is important.
What is the biggest challenge you tend to run into on an architectural shoot?
A beautiful but quick-moving winter sun. Also, missed-matched light sources and fluorescent bulbs.
What advice would you give architects or interior designers on working with a professional photographer?
A photographer's portfolio gives a client the most information about their style and interests.
Choose a photographer whose work mirrors your passion and stylistic sense.
I began my career with a fusion of two interests: photography and color. While attending The School of Visual Arts as a Photography Fine Art Major I interned at the Design & Decoration building in NYC with a colorist. My passion for photography and color led to a series of interior photographs that would become my BFA thesis. These images led to assignments with The New York Times Magazine, House & Garden, Vogue Living Section and Avenue.
Through the years my fascination for atmospheric interiors, color, and photography has grown. I have five books to my credit by major book publishers: Bullfinch Press, Clarkson Potter, Gibbs Smith and Viking Press.

So I guess I missed a sippy cup of milk, and it soured and dripped all over the diaper bag. The bag can't be submerged, so I have been cleaning the surface. I have treated it many times with Bac Out, which has helped, but it still has a lingering sour milk smell. What else can I try? Vinegar? But then would it smell like vinegar? Nature's Miracle? I really love this bag (it's from Land's End - they make great diaper bags) and I don't want to replace it.

I'd try Nature's Miracle. Hopefully the enzymes will eat the milk protein. Good luck! |
Baking soda......dump it in, rub it around, let it sit for a day and shake and vacuum it out. Linda C |
Baking soda, then turn it inside-out to dry, if that's possible! |
The Nature's Miracle did the trick! Yay! I was all prepared to try baking soda next but didn't need to. thanks! |

0Jun 12, '08 by ONCRN84I learned very quickly who I can trust and who I can't. The nurse who trained me isn't all that older than I am so we're pretty close at work, but not so much outside. I have several close friends that I've been friends with since elementary school, so I never feel like I'm missing something. I go to work, I socialize, then I leave it there. We also have a couple people who are widely known to be backstabbers and you never discuss anything with them beyond "can you waste some ____ with me?"
I have an interview tomorrow for a new job and I'm pretty sure if I get it, I won't keep in contact with people at my current job, and I'm ok with that. -
0Jun 12, '08 by angel4grammaYears ago I always attempted to make friends at work. Only one or two would actually make it to be my friend. The problem was they were not friends and only after the manager would talk to me I would find out they were talking and complaining behind my back. We even went out once a week and kept in touch on days off. I cant count the number of times in 12 yrs it happened. Now I look forward to working with some people but thats as far as it goes.

McKenna Pope–Child Activist: Haters Gonna Hate
I feel so proud of this young lady, though I don't know her and I never even heard of her cause until seeing this video early morning on Sunday. She sends a powerful message though – that we have it in all of us to effect change. When we make a stand–specially on a potentially controversial issue-it's inevitable that not everyone will agree with us, but so what? Take a stand anyway.
Haters will hate.
So what did she campaign about? She had a younger brother who was really interested in cooking and so the family thought it would be great to give him an Easy Bake Oven. Now we don't have those locally, so not everyone may know what it is, but I believe it's a toy that allows kids to actually bake something. I would have loved one as a kid!
Photo credit: http://www.thecookinginn.com/easybake/easybakerecall.html
The problem was that McKenna's brother was hesitant about getting an Easy Bake because it was "for girls." All the marketing for the toy was aimed at girls.The colors were pink and purple, and the commercials always had girls. It was as if they were perpetuating the stereotype that the place for girls and women is at home and in the kitchen.
So she started a petition to ask Hasbro, the makers of this toy, to use gender-neutral colors for producing and marketing the Easy Bake.

James Morrow (born March 17, 1947) is an American novelist and short-story writer known for filtering large philosophical and theological questions through his satiric sensibility.
Most of Morrow's ouevre has been published as science fiction and fantasy, but he is also the author of two unconventional historical novels, The Last Witchfinder and Galápagos Regained. He variously describes himself as a "scientific humanist," a "bewildered pilgrim," and "a child of the Enlightenment."
Morrow presently lives in State College, Pennsylvania with his second wife, Kathryn Smith Morrow (a veteran bookseller, freelance editor, and occasional literary critic), his son Christopher, and his two dogs. [1] His cousin is the journalist Lance Morrow.
Godhead Trilogy[edit]
- Towing Jehovah (1994), in which the corpse of God (a two-mile long white male with a grey beard) is discovered floating in the Atlantic Ocean. The captain of a supertanker is dispatched by the Vatican on a secret mission to tow the Divine Corpse to a tomb carved out of the Arctic ice. A group of atheist extremists plan on destroying the body, as although God is dead, his corpse proves that they were wrong and he existed at some point in time. An extended subplot deals with the evolution of a character's views on ethics and morality as he faces the idea of a post-theistic world. Towing Jehovah won the World Fantasy Award for Best Novel in 1995;[2] was nominated for a Nebula Award in 1994;[3] and received Hugo, Clarke, and Locus Fantasy Award nominations in 1995.[4] Terri Windling selected it as one of the best fantasy books of 1994.[5]
- Blameless in Abaddon (1996), in which God's body is now part of a religious theme park. A small-town magistrate, who has suffered many personal troubles, including the death of his wife and prostate cancer, decides to literally put God on trial for crimes against humanity. God's defense lawyer is a parody of C. S. Lewis. Other biblical figures including Satan and Jesus Christ appear in this book. "Abaddon" is the name of a small fictional township in Pennsylvania and as well as a biblical figure. Blameless in Abaddon was nominated for a Locus Award in 1997.
- The Eternal Footman (1999), in which the absence of God, save for his skull orbiting the Earth, results in a plague of death-awareness. The Eternal Footman was nominated for a Locus Award in 2000.[6]
- A special limited run (26 copies) leather-bound set was published by Dimension House and contained a fourth book that contains previously unpublished material containing short stories and plays by James Morrow. This volume is called "Reflections and Refractions", and contains three plays purportedly written by a character within the main novels. Two of these have appeared in short-story collections by Morrow, while the third is available on the author's web site.
Other novels[edit]
- The Wine of Violence (1981) – First published novel. A space expedition crash lands on an undiscovered planet. Landing in a veritable utopia the survivors discover a dark and viscous secret that is the source of the murky moat that surrounds the walled Utopia and fends off the cannibalistic hordes that threaten its tranquility
- The Adventures of Smoke Bailey (1983) – novelization of the computer game In Search of the Most Amazing Thing.
- The Continent of Lies (1984) – Dealing with the future medium of "Dream Apples" entertainment that is eaten so that the experience of the entertainment goes straight into the viewers mind. A "Dream Apple" reviewer is lured into a dark and horrific world akin in many ways to Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness
- This Is the Way the World Ends (1985) – deals with Nostradamus, a nuclear war, and the trial which sees the survivors of the war prosecuted by "the Unadmitted", or those who would have existed had the protagonist of the novel never signed away his complicity of the nuclear arms race that lead to Mutually Assured Destruction – nominated for a Nebula Award in 1986,[7] and a John W. Campbell Memorial Award in 1987.[8]
- Only Begotten Daughter (1990) – in which Jesus' half sister, the daughter of God, is born into contemporary society. Winner of the World Fantasy Award for Best Novel in 1991;[9] nominated for a Nebula Award in 1990;[10] nominated for Campbell and Locus SF Awards in 1991.[9]
- City of Truth (1990) – a dystopian novel about a society (Veritas) in which everyone is conditioned to tell only the literal truth. The story revolves around an art critic whose son is infected by a rare illness after being bitten by a rabbit at Camp Ditch-the-Kids. The protagonist comes to believe that his son's only hope is for him to come to (falsely) believe that he will recover. With the help of subversives from "Satirev", he must learn how to deceive again.
- The Last Witchfinder (2006) – a historical novel in which Jennet Stearne, daughter of England's last Witchfinder General, sets out to end the persecution of witches by proving that witchcraft is not logically possible. The book addresses the shifting of world view from the medieval/renaissance viewpoint to the Enlightenment. The story travels from England to America during the late 17th and early 18th century, and features fictional portraits of Isaac Newton, Robert Hooke, the young Ben Franklin, and the Salem Witch Trials. In a metafictional twist, the novel is narrated by Newton's Principia Mathematica, which asserts that books are often the authors of other books (albeit with unwitting human assistance). The Last Witchfinder was nominated for a BSFA Award in 2006,[11] as well as the Campbell and Locus Fantasy Awards in 2007.[6]
- The Philosopher's Apprentice (2008), formerly titled Prometheus Wept. In this novel, a philosopher is offered a large amount of money to come to the Isla de Sangre to instruct the daughter of wealthy Edwina Sabacthani, called Londa. He is to use his skills and knowledge to instil a conscience or a moral compass in Londa, after a diving accident supposedly destroyed her sense of right and wrong. He happily instructs her in schools of thought, from Stoicism to Epicureanism. When he introduces her to the Beatitudes, seeds of a rampaging sense of justice are sown in Londa. She goes on to become a celebrity saint determined to change society for the good with radical means, which include building a utopian metropolis, and hijacking a reconstructed Titanic in order to subject its wealthy passengers to a very steep learning curve. The Philospher's Apprentice was nominated for a Campbell Memorial, placing third.
- Shambling Towards Hiroshima (2009, Tachyon Publications) – In the tradition of Godzilla as both a playful romp and a parable of the dawn of the nuclear era, this satire blends the destruction of World War II with subject of monster movies. Set in the summer of 1945 while war is reigning in the Pacific Rim, protagonist Syms Thorley, a B-movie actor, is approached by the U.S. Navy to participate in their top-secret "Knickerbocker Project": Thorley is to don a rubber suit that will transform him into the merciless "Gorgantis" and star in a film that simulates the destruction of a miniature Japan. If the demonstration succeeds, the Japanese will surrender, sparing thousands of lives; if it fails, the Navy will unleash a new biological super-weapon on Japan: a breed of gigantic, fire-breathing mutant iguanas. Shambling Towards Hiroshima was nominated for Hugo, Nebula, Locus and Theodore Sturgeon Awards in 2010. This novella won the prestigious Theodore Sturgeon Award for 2010.
- The Madonna and the Starship (2014).

The California Highway Patrol received a call just after 11:00 Saturday night after a vehicle hit a pedestrian. The collision happened on southbound Highway 101 just north of Milpas Street in Santa Barbara.
The CHP says a female pedestrian was walking across the lanes of the freeway. While crossing, the 26 year-old was hit and killed initially by a Honda and then struck by multiple cars. There was a dog that was also hit and killed by passing cars.
The CHP believes the dog was the victim's.
Both the victim and dog died before being able to be transported to a hospital.
Additional evidence links a Kia to the traffic collision. The CHP is looking for the driver to the car believed to have moderate damage to the front right corner. The collision remains under investigation; anyone with information is encouraged to contact the CHP.

I got this from the Fix It and Forget It Lightly cookbook. It calls for any diet soda. I actually used Diet Dr. Pepper. I used Kraft Original Barbecue Sauce. Finally, I'm not an onion person, so I skipped them--and used minced onion instead. It was ABSOLUTELY delicious! The only hard part is eating JUST ONE SERVING!
