diaphragmatic hernia (a hole in the diaphragm present at birth). This may allow the stomach and intestines to move into the chest, which can result in pulmonary hypoplasia (underdevelopment of the lungs). Other signs and symptoms may include abnormalities of the fingers and toes; distinctive facial features; severe developmental delay and intellectual disability; and abnormalities of the brain, cardiovascular system, gastrointestinal system, kidneys, and genitalia. Most affected individuals die before birth or in early infancy. The cause of the condition is not known, but it is thought to be genetic and appears to be inherited in an autosomal recessive manner.[1]
Fryns syndrome is a condition that affects the development of many parts of the body. Signs and symptoms vary widely among affected individuals. Many affected individuals have a defect in the diaphragm muscle such as a congenital

Shakespeare's First Folio isn't terribly rare by antiquarian book standards, so what makes it so valuable? This is a question with many answers. For one, the First Folio is an important primary source for Shakespeare's plays and the iconic image we recognize as Shakespeare. Its iconic cultural status, along with its infrequent appearance on the book market, make it more valuable than it would otherwise be. The current record sale price was set in October 2000, when a private collector purchased Abel Berland's copy at Christie's New York for $6.2 million.
A book this valuable is bound to attract thieves. In fact, three First Folios were stolen in the twentieth century — one from Williams College, Massachusetts in 1940; one from John Rylands Library at the University of Manchester, England in 1972; and one from the University of Durham in 1998. Sadly, only two of these copies have been recovered. The Williams College copy was returned the same year it was stolen, while the Durham copy remained at large for a decade. It was brought into the Folger in 2008 by a man who claimed he was a book dealer who had acquired the volume in Cuba. The images on this page show just a few of the identifying details Folger staff and others used to authenticate and identify the book. The BBC documentary Stealing Shakespeare tells the story of the eccentric man at the center of the Durham First Folio case, and of the eventual return of the Folio to its home at Durham University.

Here we are going to focus on making Nigerian soups.
If you are a Nigerian or have visited Nigerian at one time or another you probably know what soups are used for. Soups in Nigerian serve as a common denominator for eating several other Nigerian foods. The popular Nigerian Eba (garri), fufu and Pounded Yam doesn't go without a delicious soup
On this page I would be listing several kinds of soups eaten in Nigeria, I hope to write an easy to follow article on making all known Nigerian soups and also include a video demonstration to cases that could not be properly illustrated with written words.

I want to start with the very popular soups and then delve into local soups that are eaten by the Specific Nigerian Tribes. Take the Igbo tribe for instance, There are lots of different foods that are reserved for just the Igbos, Likewise the rest of Nigeria tribes.
In Nigeria, egusi soup is likely the most popular of all simply because it is accepted by almost all Nigerians. Second on this list is the edikaikong soup which gained popularity because of its nutritional value and ease of preparation.
The Nigerian edikaikong soup is very rich in vitamins because it is made with different types of vegetables.
The third on the list of Nigerian popular soup is ogbono soup. This is popularly called draw soup because of its stretchy ability. Nigerian Obgono or Ogbolo soup soup which is third on my list of Nigerian popular soups is also easy to make and could be refrigerated for up to two weeks without losing its delicious quality.
The last on my list of Nigerian popular soups is bitterleaf soup. Nigerian bitter leaf soup is very popular and could be made in several ways by different Nigeria tribes and ethnic groups. Ofe onugbu (as the Igbo man would call it) is one of Nigeria's most delicious soup.
Here is how to make the most popular Nigerian soups, actually there are two type of egusi soup recipes that I know how to cook, you can learn how to make the two of them by clicking on the image above to visit the page that deal specifically on making the Nigerian most popular soup.

Hi Chy, I am excited being a part of your blog now, the problem i have with cooking is:
1)i can cook well but can't sometimes determine the amount of salt or
ingredients to use especially when it deals with rice. at the beginning
the food may be delicious but towards the end the food may be
tasteless am i doing something wrong. I prefer cooking soup to rice due
to this reason.
2)i lack creativity when it comes to the kitchen and am scared of
trying out new dishes especially cooking them for people to eat. how
can i overcome this?
3)due to the above reasons i usually shy from cooking for a large family size.
Am very much eager to learn especially a wide variety of meals.
Pls i need help. thanks a lot -

WOW! That's the Silver Surfer on the third to last photo!! Epic spoiler!
Makes so much sense for "Galactus" to actually be an Engineer-driven force of destruction. The engineers sent the silver surfer to prepare Earth for destruction but failed. Thus why needing the Juggernaut to go there themselves.
Engineers = Galactus.
Who would have thought that the Silver Surfer and A L I E N were connected all along?

Questions Over Biblical Image On Fire Truck
CEDAR RAPIDS, IA (CBS 2/FOX 28)--One Cedar Rapids fire truck is at the center of a discussion between city leaders.
That's because the city's civil rights commission received a complaint about an image painted on the department's 100-foot ladder truck.
Folks at the fire department say this is the first time they've ever received a complaint about the image on the fire truck, which has been part of the department for close to 17 years.
They say they are willing to make any necessary changes.
The image is on the bucket of the truck's aerial ladder.
First you see a firefighter, and behind him is what looks like the shadow of Christ holding a staff.
On the bottom of the picture are the words "The Lord is my Shepard."
"We have an image that may be considered Christian...and they were wondering if any government dollars had been used to put it on there, said Executive Director of the Cedar Rapids Civil Rights Commission.
John-Paul Chaisson Cardenas says he received "a friendly complaint" about the image a week and a half ago. That's when he contacted the fire chief.
"That image was on the truck when we bought it. We did not ask for that. We did not pay any money for it, said Fire Chief Mark English.
He says none of his firefighters ever complained about it.
"A lot of them take personal solace in it and faith in it. They like it. They want to see it stay, Chief English said.
However, Chief English says he willing to change the image.
He's now working with the civil rights commission and the ecumenical council to find an inclusive solution.
"I think it shows that at least the fire department and the whole city of Cedar Rapids is open to all faiths. We don't want to exclude anyone, said English.
"We have two opportunities on this one. One is to, you know, we could erase it...however we have a wonderful opportunity to include other people in our community, said Chaisson-Cardenas.
The fire department does have a new truck coming in, something they've been planning for several years.
That means the truck with the image will no longer be used as a first response vehicle.
Still, the fire department plans to make some changes to the picture.

You may or may not know it, but today is Loving Day! The holiday seeks "to fight racial prejudice through education and to build multicultural community" by commemorating the famous 1967 Loving v. Virginia case. As members of a community that promotes and believes in the power of civic reflection and dialogue in the pursuit of social change, we should all take time to remember the history of the Lovings and celebrate this budding holiday!
Shocking as it may seem today, interracial marriage was still illegal in states across the country as late as 1967. Anti-miscegenation laws represented one of the last—and most viciously enduring—remnants of Jim Crow legal segregation. After nearly a century of countless futile attempts to challenge these laws (including 1964's McLaughlin v. Florida, 1955's Naim v. Naim, and many more), the Supreme Court unanimously struck down all anti-miscegenation laws in the 1967 Loving v. Virginia decision, legalizing interracial marriage across the country.
This legendary case made Mildred and Richard Loving national celebrities. Mildred Jeter, a black woman, and Richard Loving, a white man—both natives of Virginia—had married in 1958 in Washington D.C., where interracial marriage was legal. Once back at their home in Virginia, however, the couple was woken in the middle of the night to three police officers violently bursting into their house. The officers declared that their marriage was "no good here" and arrested them, ostensibly for "illegal cohabitation." Each was sentenced to a year in prison or 25-year exile from their home state. Under pressure, the Lovings agreed to move out of Virginia. But after a few years, missing their friends and families, they wrote to Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy about their case, who referred them to the American Civil Liberties Union. Before they knew it, their case had made it all the way to the Supreme Court, and was destined to transform the lives and opportunities of all American citizens. The couple, however, shunned the spotlight. Like many who become hallmarks of a changing regime, they did not seek notoriety or even leadership in the Civil Rights battle. They only wanted to get married.
Richard Loving died tragically in a car accident in 1975 and Mildred, who never remarried but lived a calm life on a Virginia farm, passed away in 2008. But Ken Tanabe, a graduate student at Parsons the New School, was determined to see that the history of the Lovings' struggle did not disappear with the couple. Troubled that the Lovings had not been a staple of his American History education, Tanabe started Loving Day in 2004 to commemorate the arduous fight for interracial marriage in America. The holiday's name carries a dual significance, both honoring the couple who initiated the infamous case and announcing its broader commitment to tolerance, awareness, and understanding around the romantic relationships of "interracial, multicultural, international, and interfaith couples." Celebrations of Loving Day are taking place all over the country, on and around June 12th. Some include concerts, picnics, or festivals, but all are united in their drive to celebrate and educate people about the history and rights of interracial and multicultural couples in the United States.
This holiday, which reminds us of the fragile state of individual rights in this country and the relative newness of interracial couples' right to wed, seems more relevant now than ever. The issue of interracial marriage was much discussed during the 2008 presidential election, as Barack Obama himself was the product of one such controversial union. When his parents took the audacious step to marry as an interracial couple in 1961, it was still illegal in 22 states and exceedingly rare. Now, interracial marriages are at an all-time high. Based on the 2010 census and nationwide telephone surveys, the Pew Research Center estimates that 1 in 7 marriages in the U.S. are now an interracial pairing.
Loving Day carries additional significance for Chicago residents this year because of the current case for LGBT marriage equality underway in the state of Illinois. On May 30, 2012, Lambda Legal filed a suit, Darby v. Orr, against the state of Illinois on behalf of 16 same-sex couples (a number of them also interracial) for their right to marry, proving that marriage equality remains a fundamental and deep-seated American concern. The historic struggle to legalize interracial marriage to which Loving Day pays tribute has countless parallels to the current fight for LGBT marriage equality. Marriage still confers an enormous number of rights and protections (including hospital visitation, parental rights, financial benefits, and more). Like the Lovings, the 16 Illinois couples represented in the Darby v. Orr case see marriage as both an emotional and a legal right, and are waging a similar fight against their status as second-class citizens. As Americans for social change and racial justice, we should celebrate Loving Day both to commemorate the long historic civil rights struggle for interracial marriage and to affirm the ongoing fight for marriage equality in our state and in the nation.

I love the way that MMF looks and is so easy to work with, but I always hated the taste, so I have been experimenting.Ingredients
- 16 oz Jiffypuff marshmallows 2-3 TBS water 6 cups powdered sugar (use pure cane sugar, so it doesn't leave gooey bits) 2 Cups corn starch 1/4 cup vegetable shortening
You may not need to use all the powdered sugar, just kneed in enough so you dough is not sticky. Using half of the shortening, grease a large microwave safe bowl, pour in marshmallows and water. Melt marshmallows and water in microwave until melted Sift half the sugar and half of the corn starch kneed and continue adding corn starch and sugar until it forms a ball. knead in the rest of the shortening Your mixture should not be sticky, but not too stiff either. Hold the ball in your hand and if it doesn't ooze off of your hand or around your fingers, it should be good. I use 2 drops Lor Ann butter rum flavor to my melted marshmallows, taste delicious!

As you guys know, Tas and I bet on games every week in our B-Ball Picks Contest, and, at the end of the month, we bust out the calculator, tally it up, and make the loser do something humiliating. We call it our Book-Off Payoff.
Well, I won the month of January. So, once again, we got Tas in tights.
Watch your eyes, kids.
(Note: Many thanks to M.J. and Flirty Girl Fitness for letting Tas unleash his inner diva. I have it on good record that his pole has been removed from the facilities and burned in a garbage dumpster out back.)

The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 "Shout! A full-throated shout! Hold nothing back - a trumpet-blast shout! Tell my people what's wrong with their lives, face my family Jacob with their sins! | 1 "Shout it aloud, do not hold back. Raise your voice like a trumpet. Declare to my people their rebellion and to the house of Jacob their sins. |
2 They're busy, busy, busy at worship, and love studying all about me. To all appearances they're a nation of right-living people - law-abiding, God-honoring. They ask me, 'What's the right thing to do?' and love having me on their side. | 2 For day after day they seek me out; they seem eager to know my ways, as if they were a nation that does what is right and has not forsaken the commands of its God. They ask me for just decisions and seem eager for God to come near them. |
3 But they also complain, 'Why do we fast and you don't look our way? Why do we humble ourselves and you don't even notice?' "Well, here's why: "The bottom line on your 'fast days' is profit. You drive your employees much too hard. | 3 'Why have we fasted,' they say, 'and you have not seen it? Why have we humbled ourselves, and you have not noticed?' "Yet on the day of your fasting, you do as you please and exploit all your workers. |
4 You fast, but at the same time you bicker and fight. You fast, but you swing a mean fist. The kind of fasting you do won't get your prayers off the ground. | 4 Your fasting ends in quarreling and strife, and in striking each other with wicked fists. You cannot fast as you do today and expect your voice to be heard on high. |
5 Do you think this is the kind of fast day I'm after: a day to show off humility? To put on a pious long face and parade around solemnly in black? Do you call that fasting, a fast day that I, God, would like? | 5 Is this the kind of fast I have chosen, only a day for a man to humble himself ? Is it only for bowing one's head like a reed and for lying on sackcloth and ashes? Is that what you call a fast, a day acceptable to the LORD? |
6 "This is the kind of fast day I'm after: to break the chains of injustice, get rid of exploitation in the workplace, free the oppressed, cancel debts. | 6 "Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? |
7 What I'm interested in seeing you do is: sharing your food with the hungry, inviting the homeless poor into your homes, putting clothes on the shivering ill-clad, being available to your own families. | 7 Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter-- when you see the naked, to clothe him, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood? |
8 Do this and the lights will turn on, and your lives will turn around at once. Your righteousness will pave your way. The God of glory will secure your passage. | 8 Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard. |
9 Then when you pray, God will answer. You'll call out for help and I'll say, 'Here I am.' A Full Life in the Emptiest of Places "If you get rid of unfair practices, quit blaming victims, quit gossiping about other people's sins, | 9 Then you will call, and the LORD will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I. "If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk, |
10 If you are generous with the hungry and start giving yourselves to the down-and-out, Your lives will begin to glow in the darkness, your shadowed lives will be bathed in sunlight. | 10 and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday. |
11 I will always show you where to go. I'll give you a full life in the emptiest of places - firm muscles, strong bones. You'll be like a well-watered garden, a gurgling spring that never runs dry. | 11 The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail. |
12 You'll use the old rubble of past lives to build anew, rebuild the foundations from out of your past. You'll be known as those who can fix anything, restore old ruins, rebuild and renovate, make the community livable again. | 12 Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins and will raise up the age-old foundations; you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings. |
13 "If you watch your step on the Sabbath and don't use my holy day for personal advantage, If you treat the Sabbath as a day of joy, God's holy day as a celebration, If you honor it by refusing 'business as usual,' making money, running here and there - | 13 "If you keep your feet from breaking the Sabbath and from doing as you please on my holy day, if you call the Sabbath a delight and the LORD's holy day honorable, and if you honor it by not going your own way and not doing as you please or speaking idle words, |
14 Then you'll be free to enjoy God! Oh, I'll make you ride high and soar above it all. I'll make you feast on the inheritance of your ancestor Jacob." Yes! God says so! | 14 then you will find your joy in the LORD, and I will cause you to ride on the heights of the land and to feast on the inheritance of your father Jacob." The mouth of the LORD has spoken. |

Set the Wellness Wheels in Motion
The movement of body structures is created by the contraction of muscles. All movements are identified by the directions which affected structures are moved. In the human anatomy, all motions are considered to be a mixture of or a single contribution of general motion such as flexion, abduction, internal and external rotation, elevation, decompression and adduction. It is well known that a body in motion tends to stay in motion. On the other hand, a body which does not move becomes stagnant, immobile, inactive and prone to illnesses.
At Motion Council, Dr. Jason Hurley and his team of wellness experts put their patients' bodies in constant motion by providing the ultimate chiropractic care, nutrition, exercise and massage therapies available. Patients who have chronic health conditions that cause them pain, steal their energy or lower their quality of life get back in the swing-of-things with the finest quality of care through the use of modern chiropractic treatment and equipment.
The authorities, or Council, at our wellness center sets our patients back on the path to optimal function and increased movement. Each patient is evaluated and given customized treatments for total wellness by providing the latest techniques for neck, back, shoulder, leg pain, as well as joint pain and herniated discs.
If you put people in motion the body will heal itself. We set the wheels of wellness in motion for our patients to become the person they most want to be by doing just that. Place the future of your health in good hands with the authorities at Motion Council.

Johnny Depp-Tim Burton collaboration is a flat out disaster; Statham's 'Safe' is a gritty 1970s-style throwback
There is something so sad about a movie that wants to be funny and isn't. Dark Shadows is exhibit one, another collaboration between director Tim Burton and actor Johnny Depp, a union that has produced excellent results in the past (Edward Scissorhands, Alice in Wonderland) and some misfires (Sweeney Todd).
The movie plays its parody elements dead straight, with a plot revolving around a befuddled vampire who can't quite get the hang of life in modern times and his nemesis, a witch who relishes the modern world.
Depp plays the vampire, Barnabas Collins, who has been locked away in a coffin for 200 years, put there by the vengeful witch Angelique (Eva Green), whose love for Barnabas was spurned in favor of the innocent Josette. In revenge mode, Angelique bewitches Josette, who plunges to her death over a cliff.
This all happens before the opening credits, then we are sent forward in time to the discovery of the Barnabas Collins casket and the release of Barnabas, who revives his spirits with some fresh kills and then goes home to meet his modern ancestors.
The plot is based on the hit vampire soap opera TV show of the same name from the 1960s. I never watched it so I can't explain the fascination that led to Burton's interest in reviving the story.
The vampire angle is almost a side issue. Yes, Barnabas kills construction workers and a band of hippies, but it is not with any malice. He wishes he didn't thirst for fresh human blood, but what can you do when a witch has cursed you?
A series I did watch as a child was The Addams Family, and Dark Shadows comes off as a wan rip-off of that show without any of the laughter or wit that John Astin brought to the TV series and was later continued by Raul Julia in the movie version.
Dark Shadows just sits there flat and boring, with the energy of the actors in lock down mode thanks to laugh lines that get no laughter and a storyline that never goes anywhere interesting,
The only actor who almost pulls off her performance is Green. She is outlandishly over-the-top and determined to breathe some life into this total misfire. Unfortunately, except for a couple of rare joke set-ups that actually work, her efforts are in vain.
'70s Throwback 'Safe'
"This movie lacks a good plot so badly that one wonders during the film - yes, during watching! That's how disturbingly empty this film is! - whether they may have forgotten to cut everything into the film that they actually shot. I seriously felt like something has accidentally not been edited and just forgotten. Whole characters disappear out of the film for long periods of time, nothing is ever explained, and whoever wrote that was either 8 years old or drunk or both. Yikes, what a waste of money. On the bright side - there is a pretty good re-occurring ghost-sequence, and Barnabas is hellish sexy."
"I've never liked any of Tim Burton's movies - they are all so dark & ever so tediously long - it's ashame that such a talented movie star who is 'fun' to watch (beside being handsome) spends so much of his time in Burton's movies."
"I still remain a huge fan of the original Dark Shadows TV series. I think the problem with this film remake is that it will not satisfy the yearning of nostalgia for original fans....and does not do enough to make new ones for the the next generation. The first ten minutes begin with a bang....and it fizzles out from there. I'm not sorry I saw it....but the film had the potential to be so much more."
My fellow film critics and I tend to use previous films of a similar genre to compare and contrast the worthiness of the latest entry in that genre. However, when your film is titled Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, there isn't much hope of finding a similar effort for a side by side comparison.
Joss Whedon, the man behind beloved TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly, has unleashed a ton of unadulterated popcorn movie fun with his marvelous multi-superhero extravaganza, The Avengers. It's everything you would expect from a comic book adaptation that doesn't take itself too seriously, and it delivers plenty of action along with an equal amount of superhero temper tantrums.
for movie showtimes, click here for movie capsules, click here This spring has featured a barrage of movies that have low to middling expectations. Never has a spring featured so many movies that ...
A decade after the disappointing sequel Men in Black II, Will Smith — with a big assist from Josh Brolin and writer-director Barry Sonnenfeld — has delivered an enjoyable third film in the series.
Ridley Scott, welcome back to the genre you helped define and expand with Alien and Blade Runner. Prometheus, featuring sumptuous 3-D landscapes and a new Ripley-like protagonist embodied by Noomi Rapace, is an intelligent summer blockbuster that explores our place in the universe and the notion that spirituality and science can co-exist.
I've been a crafty film critic over the decades, which means I have learned to avoid movies that look horrible in the coming attractions. Of course some movies featuring major stars and high profiles simply can't be avoided.

Cumulative Exposure and Feminine Care Products |
At the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, we make it a top priority to provide you with information on exposure to toxic and untested chemicals in personal care productsfrom shampoo to makeup to fragrances. We often talk about why the timing of exposure matters and why cumulative exposures matter. Industry spokespeople often claim it's just a little bit of a toxic chemical in a given product, and that a little bit cant hurt. But when there are carcinogens in the bathtub, hormone disruptors in soaps and fragrances, and traces of toxic chemicals in food, air, water and other consumer goods, it all adds upand the sum could harm our health. One concerning source of toxic exposures that we dont often hear about is the products we put inside of our bodies: feminine care products like tampons. About 43 million women in the United States use tampons.(1) A woman who uses tampons monthly will buy more than 11,000 in her lifetime. You'd think that there would be ample ingredient and safety information about such an intimate and often-used product, but there isnt. As with cosmetics, feminine-care product manufacturers arent required to tell you whats in their products. Unfortunately, tampons may contain traces of dioxin from bleach, pesticide residues from conventional, non-organic cotton, and mystery fragrance ingredients. Lets take a closer look. Dioxin The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says that tampons are safe, and that dioxin levels are at or below the detectable limit.(2) However, even trace levels are concerning because dioxins are cancer-causing agents;(3) can disrupt the hormone system;(4) have been linked to endometriosis;(5) and can affect the body at very low levels.(6) The amount of dioxin in our bodies is already above the safe limits.(7) (The majority of our exposure comes from eating meat, dairy products, eggs and fish because the chemical builds up over time in animals and in us.) The World Health Organization states that reducing dioxin exposure is an important public health goal for disease reduction.(8) And another (pretty obvious) reason for concern: tampons come in contact with some of the most sensitive and absorbent tissue in our bodies. Pesticides According to Pesticide Action Network, cotton growers use some of the most hazardous pesticides in use today,(9) and the World Health Organization has classified many cotton pesticides as extremely or highly hazardous.(10) These pesticides have been linked to infertility, neurological dysfunction and developmental defects. Pesticides can adversely affect the health of cotton workers and those living near cotton fields, and seven of the top 15 pesticides used on cotton are classified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as possible, likely, probable or known human carcinogens.(11) Its clear that conventional cotton production is harmful to the planet and to workers, but what about to women who use tamponsfor days and days every monthmade with this cotton? Are there traces of pesticides in tampons? We dont know, because the FDA does not require companies to test for harmful chemicals or to disclose their presence. The FDA just recommends that tampons be free of pesticide and herbicide residues.(12) Fragrance Just as with cosmetics, the fragrance in your tampons may contain dozens of chemical ingredients. Because the formulas are considered trade secrets, companies don't have to disclose whats in fragrance. We know from product-testing that fragrance may contain allergens, sensitizers, phthalates (a class of chemicals that has been linked to hormone disruption, which can affect development and fertility), neurotoxins and synthetic musks (which can also disrupt hormones). Secret chemicals linked to skin irritation and reproductive harm in a tampon? So, Whats a Girl to Do? While there is a lack of data on health effects associated with recurring use of conventional tampons, we think that erring on the side of caution whenever possible makes sense. The good news is, we can switch to products that are better for the environment and likely safer for us, and we can tell companies and elected officials that we want all of the products we use in and on our bodies to be safe! There are feminine care options free of bleach, pesticides and toxic chemicals, including organic, unbleached tampons and pads made by Seventh Generation and Natracare, cloth pads, and silicone and natural rubber cups (like DivaCup and the Keeper).

I do love a good list of books! What were your favorite books read this year? My list is painfully short. Though I read a lot, most of it was forgettable. Here are my top three: 1) The Fault in Our Stars - John Green 2) The Perks of Being a Wallflower - Stephen Chbosky 3) Lexicon -- Max Barry What books did you love this year? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by woodnymph2 (My Page) on Fri, Dec 20, 13 at 11:21
One for my class in Eastern European History: "Under an Evil Star" by Heda Kovaly (memoir of a Jewish woman trapped between the wars in Hungary). And --- The Hunger Games Trilogy wins, hands down! I literally could not put these down and was reading in the wee hours of the morning, wide awake.... |
The Dinner by Herman Koch Very different mystery, kept me reading, twists and turns The Handmaid's Take by Margaret Atwood A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini Library of the Dead by Glenn Cooper A House in the Sky by Amanda Lindhout |
THE WATCHERS by Jon Steele Spooky, interesting read based on Dante's Inferno. |
Two stand out in my mind: The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn |
These were my favorites in 2013: Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies by Hilary Mantel The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry by Rachel Joyce A Good Hard Look by Ann Napolitano Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk by Ben Fountain Emily Alone by Stewart O'Nan Delilah Dirk and the Turkish Lieutenant by Tony Cliff I read a lot more than this, but these are the books that really stood out. |
Great thread! My TBR list is growing. Artiste8 - I've already started The Dinner and am finding it fascinating. Thanks for the recommendation. |

Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan series (read and enjoyed all of them this year) The Fault in Our Stars by John Green The Cruel Sea by Nicholas Monsarrat Helmet for My Pillow: From Parris Island to the Pacific by Robert Leckie With the Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa by EB Sledge Me Before You by Jojo Moyes (and several others by her) Galway Bay by Mary Pat Kelly The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey The Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker Attachments by Rainbow Rowell (and several others by her) The Leopard and the Cliff by Wallace Breem Several romantic fairytale-esque historicals set in WWI & WWII period by Eva Ibbotson (despite some stereotypes and too-good-to-be-true heroes and heroines, these are funny and magical; great comfort food reading) |

Two more I forgot to mention: "Killing Kennedy" and "Killing Lincoln" both by Bill O'Reilly. superb! |
I also read The Fault in our Stars after being nagged by my fifteen-year-old daughter - and I liked it very much, I have to say. But my favourite book this year was probably - well, almost certainly - A Tale for the Time Being |
OK - does the "Edit Post" button work for anyone else? It doesn't for me. What I meant to put was:- But my favourite book this year was probably - well, almost certainly - A Tale for the Time Being by Ruth Ozeki. |
Three that come to mind are: Flight Behavior by Barbara Kingsolver Juliet in August by Dianne Warren Whistling Season by Ivan Doig The last two were suggestions I found on the RP. Thanks. |
That is so cool that you liked both books, dedtired! Thanks for saying so. I loved them. One of the best I read this year was "The Cowboy and the Cossack" by Clair Huffaker. The premise intrigued me. I also enjoyed "Plan B" and "This is Where I Leave you" by Jonathan Tropper. His stuff just seems to him me just right. And, of course, my yearly reading of "Make Way for Lucia" by E F Benson. |
Just loved those books, Norar. I'll jot down the titles you mention above since I like your taste in books. I am reading the sequel to Whistling Season now.It's called Sweet Thunder, but I have to say it is not grabbing me right away. |
Martin, I tried the Edit Button too once but it didn't work. So I have to be careful and double check the Preview before I Submit! |
This is great, my list of books to look for next year is growing. Georgia peach, I'm glad to hear you liked Me Before You as that's my next book group selection. I've also been curious about The Golem and the Jinni. On the list it goes! Phaedosia, I also loved Last Night at the Lobster, I'll have to look for other books by O'Nan. Isn't Emily Alone a sequel of sorts to another book he wrote? Martin, I've had no luck whatsoever with the edit button. |

I have read a lot of books this year and after reviewing my list these are the ones I enjoyed the most. The Edge of Nowhere - Elizabeth George A Week in Winter - Maeve Binchy An Eye for an Eye - Ben Coes The English Girl - Daniel Silva How the Light Gets in - Louise Penny. Pat |
Honestly, I read a lot. I should make a list and keep track because I am not sure if I read a book in 2012 or the first part of 2013. So, I will be choosing books from the past six months. Science fiction: The Windup Girl I loved the setting in a futuristic Thailand, the plot, just a great read. A Tale for the Time Being I had a lot of fun discussing this one here so perhaps that has something to do with this choice! The Orenda by Joseph Boyden. He is a Canadian author, and this novel is "a defining epic story of first contact between radically different worlds, steeped in the natural beauty and brutality of our country's formative years." There are three narrators, a captive Iroquois girl, A Huron leader and a Jesuit. Boyden did his research, I found it fascinating and learned a lot. Also I just finished it last night, so it is very fresh in my memory, lol. |
Informative, well written, suspenseful: William Boyd - 'Brazzaville Beach' Humorous and heart warming: Different look at Cromwell, didn't want to put it down: Hauntingly beautiful |
Sheri, checking my reading list for 2013 I find most of the books quite unmemorable. One that stands out, recommended by Liz/lemonhead was The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne by Brian Moore also The Enchanted April by Elizabeth Von Arnim and The Diary of a Provincial Lady by E M Delafield |
Janalyn, since you liked Bacigalupi's Windup Girl, check out his 2 young-adult novels: Ship Breaker and The Drowned Cities. I particularly liked Cities, perhaps because it takes place in DC, where I work. :) As usual, I have a hard time choosing a 'best' of the year, but I will probably take Gaiman's The Ocean at the End of the Lane, because of the subtext about the adult forgetting the wonder of the child. Mieville's The City & the City is a close second, because of the concept of the alternate realities occupying the same space and how well Mieville held it together with a murder mystery story. This was one of the books I read from the "50 SFF must-read" list, and in fact most of the books I read from that list were memorable: Butler's Kindred and Whitehead's Zone One are right up there with the best. |
Cheryl I'm laughing. Here is my autoconfirm email from Amazon from several days ago: Delivery estimate: Jan. 6 2014 - Jan. 7 2014 1 "The Ocean At The End Of The Lane: A Novel" I should have ordered Kindred since my library doesn't have that one. The third book had good reviews, it was a spur of the moment purchase, we will see if I like it because it's not something I would ordinarily have picked up. And yes, that was a last kick at the can because I am going to try to use the library more despite wait lists. See New Years Reading resolutions. Who am I kidding here? LOL |
- Posted by carolyn_ky (My Page) on Thu, Jan 2, 14 at 18:07
Here are some of the books I especially enjoyed in 2013: A Settling of Accounts, Carolyn Hart I read a total of 122 books during the year. |
Vee, I loved both The Enchanted April and The Diary of a Provincial Lady . Even the Diary sequels were pretty good. Donnamira, I have had The Ocean at the End of the Lane on my bedside table for weeks now -- time to pull it out! |
Carolyn, you reminded me to count how many books I read in 2013. I have to make a guess, totalling up the local library records, delete two I didn't finish, add books from other libraries and ones I bought. About 60-70 this year. Far less than usual but I had a house move and I notice that I borrowed and know that I even bought a lot of DVDs as I felt more like watching than reading, being rather unsettled. Sadly not one of the books was memorable. In fact, I had forgotten quite a few from the record that came up on my screen! |
I read 45 books this year, which is paltry by the usual RP standards. Oh well, I'm happy with it. My favorite books of the year: Sentimental Education by Gustave Flaubert. A French classic! Kamouraska by Anne Hebert. A beautiful and terrifying account of adultery and murder in early 19th century Quebec. The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters. My favorite ghostly read of 2013. The Secret Agent by Joseph Conrad. Intense and powerful novel about anarchists and terrorists. Sunday, Monday, and Always by Dawn Powell. The only book of stories published in Powell's lifetime, some of which are absolutely unforgettable. The Easter Parade by Richard Yates. Left me absolutely devastated. The Regeneration Trilogy by Pat Barker. What an incredible achievement these books are. I am still haunted by them. Play It As It Lays by Joan Didion. Why are these unpleasant, neurotic people so fascinating and compelling? The Line of Beauty by Alan Hollinghurst. A sumptious account of 1980s debauchery and corruption. I was horrified and fascinated at the same time. The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion. Incredible non-fiction. Best discoveries of 2013: Nancy Mitford, Dorothy L. Sayers, Joseph Conrad, D.H. Lawrence, Joan Didion, Gladys Mitchell, Richard Yates. |

Forum post of the day: Heals and heels {WoW}
Aug 3rd 2008 12:52PM "I totally agree. Just because you pay $15 a month does not give you the right to be anti-social. This is an MMO after all and you have to work with other people to get the most out the game. "
Huh? The "right"? Once again, it's a GAME. It's a game that you play Blizzard to play. Like it or not, Blizzard decides you're "rights" in the game - not you. And like it or not, Blizzard has gone out of their way to make their game friendly for solo players.
Maybe people don't want to be social. There are many different ways to play this game, and you can get to 70 without running any dungeons or grouping with anyone. People are different, not everyone gets enjoyment from the social aspects of the game.
So you do not have to work with other people to get the most out of the game because it all depends on what you want out of the game. And what you want out of the game could be very different than what someone else wants out of the game.
Forum post of the day: Heals and heels {WoW}
Aug 3rd 2008 12:33PM "As for the "I pay my $15 and I'll play however I want" comment, I am so SICK of hearing people use this as an excuse for their anti-social and idiotic behavior."
So everyone should play the way you want them to? It's a GAME. Nobody is required to do anything.
I'll play how I want to play. If I don't feel like giving you heals, you're not getting any. If you tell me to give you heals, you're *especially* not getting any. Also, if I feel like sitting on the bridge on EotS and mind controlling people off the side the entire time for my own amusement, that's what I'm going to do. You don't like it? Too bad. People don't always do what you want them to - that's life.
Get some perspective - it's a game. People pay good money to play, and they can play however they want to. Get over yourself.
A WoW player's guide to Guild Wars {WoW}
Jul 31st 2008 4:14PM I would try lots of different MMOs if they had Mac clients.
I did try EVE Online for the worst 15 minutes of my gaming life (which was after the 20 minutes it took to even get to any game play).
A WoW player's guide to Guild Wars {WoW}
Jul 31st 2008 4:08PM I don't care what anyone says - Guild Wars is NOT an MMO. It's like 95% instanced...how is that a real MMO?
When I played I was annoyed that I could only put like eight of my spells on the action bar at any given time, and if I wanted to swap them out I had to go back to a town.
Also annoying is the only place you can interact with people is in the towns. Personally I like WoW because I can be strolling along on a quest and get a quick PUG if I need some help. Or I can assist someone I see in trouble. No such fun in Guild Wars.
The Daily Grind: Which MMO should go away? {Massively}
Apr 21st 2008 10:08AM "I was reading an article about RuneScape. It said 'People spend months, and YEARS, devoting dozens of hours a week playing RuneScape, and for what? A really expensive item? (That is only 70 pixels)'"
I've got news for you - that's what you're doing in EVERY MMORPG. I'm not bashing MMORPGs, but don't kid yourself that the time spent playing WoW is any less "wasted" than playing Runescape (aside from the fact that Runescape sucks).
Scattered Shots: Professional development {WoW}
Apr 10th 2008 3:36PM Maybe - but not so profitable when you consider you have to level it up to at least 225 (and higher) to disenchant high level items. There is nothing cheap about leveling Enchanting.
A Lament for the Qiraji mount {WoW}
Mar 3rd 2008 6:56PM Actually I think we opened the AQ gate yesterday on the last server to do so - Misha. From what I understand all new servers will have the gates already opened.
So if you wanted the legendary mount, I think you're SOL. :)

The Year of the Snake
Posted by Huw,In China, 2013 is the year of the Snake, which begins on 10th February. To celebrate this and, I suspect, to increase interest in the brand in China, which is now the second largest economy in the world, LEGO has released this set 10250 Year of the Snake.
Instructions for it appeared on the LEGO Customer Services page a few weeks ago; now we've received reports that it's been seen in Chinese shops. Chris in Shanghai bought one from his local Carrefour, for 249 CNY (~£25/$40), and there's quite a few for sale on Taobao (Chinese eBay). There are some lots on eBay.com at the moment, and I suspect it's only a matter of time before they appear in eBay.co.uk and BrickLink, although you'll probably need to pay through the nose for one :-)

i like the little door that comes with it
Wonder if you can order the doors from Lego as the rest of the pieces are pretty common...I already have made the snake, just need to complete the door!
I think this looks gorgeous. Another giant snake for the Ninjago snake villains to use against the heroes :).
Going to ask relative in China to pick up a few for me. Glad my grandparents are leaving to Hong Kong/China tomorrow night.
The set is nothing special, you are pretty much paying an extra $20 for a single piece.
Extra doors available at Lego (through customer services "bricks and pieces" at around £1.2 (I'm ordering 2 - can bring an extra one to Watford store on Feb 2 if anyone wants)

text: Is there such a controller that when the batterys are full it disconnets the wind generator from the batterys and then brakes the generator. Brakes meaining it switches the wind gen to resistive load and eventualy shorts the generator leads. All the charge controllers I've found have the wind generator hooked directly to the Battery and a diversion load running from the battery's when fully charged. I don't want a diversion load running constantly from the batterys and want the wind gen to stop or be significantly slowed when no longer needed. So the wind gen is only connected to the batterys when needed.

'Son of Ernest' Seeks to Revive the Magic of Jim Varney's Ernest P. Worrell
In Development By Nathan Adams on October 15, 2012 | Comments (4)Seeing as he appeared in commercials, had his own television series, and starred in nine feature films, you would think that the character of Ernest P. Worrell was one of the most hilarious and beloved in comedy history. But that's not exactly the case. As a matter of fact, you would probably be hard-pressed to find anyone willing to admit to ever liking an Ernest movie these days (full disclosure: I still consider Goes to Camp, Saves Christmas, and Scares Stupid to be guilty pleasures). We must have all just been experiencing some mass hallucination throughout the 80s and early 90s, and there's no way anybody could make any money by trying to market another Ernest product in this day and age, right? Well, don't tell that to RuckusFILM, as they're trying to bring the character back in a new feature called Son of Ernest. As announced in a press release (which was originally given exclusively to Variety) today, Ernest creator John Cherry, along with Ruckus' Clarke Gallivan and Coke Sams, and screenwriter Dan Ewen, hope that there's still enough affection for the denim-vested friend of Vern to transition the character from the late Jim Varney to a new actor, who will essentially be doing the same schtick under the guise of being Ernest's son. You know what this means, don't you? Ernest got laid!
Movie News After Dark: Sacha the Slave Trader, General Jimmy Stewart, Luke Mullen's Beard and All the Dials Go to Eleven
Movie News By Neil Miller on November 11, 2011 | Comments (2)What is Movie News After Dark? It's a nightly movie news column that would like to lend apologies to those who despise brevity. Tonight's just not a quantity kind of night. It is, however, a quality kind of night. Quentin Tarantino is now officially on a casting binge for Django Unchained, reportedly signing up Sacha Baron Cohen to play a gambler who buys Kerry Washington as his companion, thus angering the titular slave played by Jamie Foxx. I love it when he plays the villain.
Junkfood Cinema: Ernest Goes To Camp
Features By Brian Salisbury on September 16, 2011 | Be the First To CommentWelcome back to Junkfood Cinema; already too old for this shit. If you are reading this, you are probably doing the internet wrong. This is the weekly movie column that has maintained a hearty resilience to quality since 2009. Every Friday I fricassee a truly bad film, skewering it upon its own ineptitude. But then, just before it's burned past the point of being palatable, I glaze it with a BBQ sauce of unabashed love and shove it directly down your throat. If you find you aren't dead from internal bleeding, you are welcome to then enjoy the snack food item I pair with each film. Because honestly, name one person obesity ever killed, right? This week's heart-clogger? Ernest Goes to Camp.
Weekly DVD Drinking Game: The Ernest P. Worrell Collection
Drinking Games By Kevin Carr on August 24, 2011 | Comments (1)In the doldrums of August, it's slim pickings for new DVDs and Blu-rays, as well as decent films in the theaters. Sure, we could give you a drinking game for Jodie Foster's famous flop The Beaver, but that's likely to put you in a depression in which you can only communicate with a hand puppet. Luckily, some true cinema classics are getting a new release. Jim Varney's films Ernest Goes to Camp, Ernest Goes to Jail and Ernest Scared Stupid are getting their first Blu-ray release, and we invite you to toast with a glass of authentic Bulgarian miak.

The National Institute of Mental Health has broken down anxiety disorders into:
General Anxiety Disorder: Affects about 6.8 million adults and is often accompanied by other anxiety disorders, depression, or substance abuse. People with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) have recurring fears and worries and a looming sense that something bad is about to happen. Nothing in particular may provoke this anxiety, but it still interferes with the sufferer's daily life.
Panic Disorder: Affects about 6 million American adults and is characterized by emotional symptoms such as sudden waves of terror, and physical symptoms such as a pounding heart, sweatiness, chest pain, faintness, or dizziness. Panic attacks usually come with an intense fear of losing control.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: Affects about 2.2 million American adults. People with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) have uncontrollable or unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and use rituals (compulsions) to try to control or rid themselves of their obsessions. An example might be excessive hand-washing to rid one of a fear of germs.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: PTSD affects about 7.7 million Americans and develops after a traumatic event happens—such as a crime, natural disaster, or emotional trauma—to the person themselves, to a loved one, or simply from witnessing such an event. People with PTSD may be extremely on edge, become emotionally numb and lose interest in things they used to enjoy, and even act aggressive.
Social Phobia: Also called social anxiety disorder, it affects about 15 million adults. Social phobia is an extreme fear of social settings or public places, and sufferers are overwhelmingly anxious and excessively self-conscious in everyday social situations. They have an intense fear of being watched and judged by others and of doing things that may cause them embarrassment.

The goals of the Cancer Genes and Molecular Regulation Program (CGMRP) are to identify and characterize intracellular mechanisms that contribute to cell transformation, characterize and validate components of these mechanisms as targets for therapeutic intervention or as biomarkers for detection in cancer, devise strategies for the improved delivery of drugs directed at these and other useful targets of cancer therapy. The program is organized along three major themes:
- Signal Transduction - Characterization and dissection of pathways affecting carcinogenesis
- Target Evaluation - Analysis of putative targets for cancer therapy; development of preclinical models.
- Drug delivery - Analysis and testing of novel methods for drug delivery and cancer therapy.

Museum of Zoology
London, England, WC1E 6BT, United Kingdom
An enchanting cabinet of zoological curiosities, this University College London museum is among the city's best-kept secrets. Housed in an Edwardian library, the intriguing collection was first established in 1827 by zoology professor Robert Edmond Grant and now features over 67,000 specimens. Under the gaze of four jauntily-posed monkey skeletons peering down from a balcony, patrons explore the delicate bones of extinct Dodo birds, a jar of baby moles, a preserved Tasmanian tiger, the skeleton of a zebra-like quagga, and even bisected animal heads. The museum also incorporates exhibit iPads with quizzes and discussion questions relating to scientific ethics.
Insider Tip:
For a small fee, you can "adopt" your favorite specimen in the collection and have your name displayed beside it.
