Tours and attractions
Top of the Rock Observation Deck at Rockefeller Center
Sure, the 86th floor observatory at the Empire State Building is the original place to go for an eagle's-eye look at New York, and it's located atop a global icon. But at 70 stories up, the observation deck at TOTR affords a spectacular vista of Central Park without the crazy lines. Plus, the sprawling subterranean mall at 30 Rock offers amenities like shopping and eating.
Empire State Building
Try imagining New York City's skyline without the towering spire of the Empire State Building. Impossible, right? Taking a mere 11 months to construct, the 1,454-foot-tall emblem became the city's highest building upon completion in 1931. (When One World Trade Center is finished, it will tower over the ESB by a good 300 feet.) During your visit, pay special attention to the lobby, restored in 2009 to its original Art Deco design. You can also impress your pals with these tidbits while queuing for the observation decks: In 1945, 14 tenants were killed when a plane crashed into the 79th floor during heavy fog; a terrace on the 103rd level was once intended for use as a docking station for airships; and the topper's three tiers of lights can illuminate up to nine colors at a time. High-speed elevators shoot visitors up 1,050 feet to the 86th-floor observatory, where you can either peer out at the city from the comfort of a glass-enclosed pavilion or brave the elements on the open-air decks. Tickets to the 102nd Floor Observatory are an additional $17. Daily 8am–10pm: The New York Skyride Visitors take a motion-picture tour over, through and below the city streets ($29; seniors, students and children 6–12 $19).
Ripley's Believe It or Not! Odditorium
Times Square might be a little whitewashed these days, but you can get a taste of the old freak show at this repository of the eerie and uncanny. Items on display include a six-legged cow, a 3,000-pound meteorite and the largest collection of shrunken heads in the civilized world.

Here's what you missed at the Time Out New York Comedy Showcase last night
The first edition of Time Out New York's new monthly comedy show took place last night at Carolines, and those that braved the crappy weather in Midtown were treated to one hell of a show. Host Phil Hanley kicked things off by introducing our surprise special guest for the night - none other than the comedy legend that is Jim Norton, who let rip with some surprisingly heartfelt and touching thoughts on the matter of deep ass-cracks. Bonnie McFarlane followed with some (affectionate? Maybe?) bullying of the audience (sorry, Scottish people, we're sure she loves you really), then Ted Alexandro reduced the room to helpless giggles (who knew classical music radio stations could be so funny?) before Michelle Wolf closed out the show with one of the best awkward date text exchanges we've ever heard. See some photos of the show below, and if you didn't make it last night, there's always next month... Phil Hanley Bonnie McFarlane Ted Alexan

Nintendo to preview 3DS on 19 January
We recently told you about the "Save the Date" that was floating around from Nintendo regarding a special event.
And now we can confirm that the event is a 3DS preview, as Pocket-lint has received its invitation.
This early date gives us hope that we could be seeing a February launch here in Europe - Japan has a date of 26 February touted for it, and it would be nice if we could get hold of the glasses-free 3D handheld on the same date.
The price-tag for the 3DS is reported to be around 25,000 yen in Japan, which is about £189 - so expect something around the £200 mark in the UK. It is going to be available at launch in either aqua blue or black.

Why are data scientists so obsessed with graphs? It's because graphs are the best tools we have for modeling the real world. By analyzing the graph representation of a real-world structure, we can glean a variety of insights about it. Graphs that model real-world phenomena are called "natural" graphs, and a great deal of data science focuses on them. However, obtaining natural graphs is hard; it would be nice if we had a way to generate similar-looking graphs without the data-gathering work. Enter the stochastic Kronecker graph model: an easy way to generate almost-natural synthetic graphs. This post will give an overview of natural graphs and describe the stochastic Kronecker model of generating graphs.

Material man: Bill Woodrow on his new sculpture show at the Royal Academy
Alongside Anish Kapoor and Antony Gormley, Bill Woodrow was a key figure of New British Sculpture in the Eighties. As a major retrospective will show, his recycled art was prescient but not political, he tells Ben Luke
Published: 30 October 2013
Updated: 10:30, 30 October 2013
Bill Woodrow's sculpture is increasingly fitting for our times. In the late Seventies, though the environmental movement was in full swing, it hadn't begun to make a huge impression on people's everyday lives — as Woodrow says when we meet at the Royal Academy, where a retrospective of his work opens next week, "recycling wasn't invented" then, and the notion of global climate change was the preserve of environmental scientists.
But he reused the flytipped stuff on London's streets, from hairdryers to washing machines and old electric fires, and transformed them brilliantly in his most famous works, cutting shapes such as animals, an electric guitar, guns and bombs, which would miraculously unfurl from the original objects. Through the Eighties, Woodrow was a poetic and pioneering up-cycler, creating wondrous sculpture from abject rubbish.
That made him a key figure in what was known as the New British Sculpture, alongside Anish Kapoor, Richard Deacon and Antony Gormley. "I was dealing initially with materials. Those other ideas about the context you're working in, statements about consumerism and stuff being thrown away, I discovered those through making the work," he says. Now, when climate change is a palpable reality, those 30-year-old sculptures looks increasingly prescient.
Rooted in time: Regardless of History, 1998 — a bronze maquette of Woodrow's Trafalgar Square Fourth Plinth commission (Picture: Bill Woodrow RA) The cutouts are only one chapter of the five-decade RA retrospective. Woodrow, who turns 65 on Friday, became a Royal Academician about a decade ago, and proudly shows me the Keeper's House, the swish new RA friends' facilities, before we settle in the Academicians' room, a huge, airy space, also newly restored, and chat over a beer. He is softly spoken, thoughtful and thoroughly engaging company, clearly still in love with sculpture after nearly 50 years of making it.
On the day we meet, we've both just heard of the death of the sculptor Anthony Caro. It's often said that Woodrow, who grew up in Hampshire and lives between there and south London today, was taught by Caro when he attended the St Martin's School of Art in the late Sixties, but while Caro's "presence was still very much there", he never directly tutored him. And while he acknowledges that Caro's ideas were "useful", Woodrow says that he and his followers "had created a strong mainstream, which, for me, was something to rebel against, and that's what made it interesting. It was a very formalistic approach to sculpture, and notions of emotion or narrative especially were not given much time at all. In fact, they were almost forbidden."
But Woodrow had other examples to follow: Gilbert and George and Richard Long were slightly older St Martin's rebels who'd achieved early success. Inspired by them, he sought places to show his student work: playful and uncanny combinations of sculpture and photography, where branches protrude from black-and-white photographs. Impressively, he secured a show in 1972 at the Whitechapel Gallery. But a long hiatus followed, as he and his wife, Pauline, had their two children, Ellen and Harry. "That was the mechanics of life: getting a job, looking after children, making a home, restoring a house, not having a studio," he says.
Sculpturally interesting: Camera and Lizard, 1981 (Picture: Bill Woodrow RA) He never doubted he'd return to his artworks: "It was something I had to do, I didn't really have much choice in that." Initially, he worked at home at weekends, when Pauline would take the children away, but eventually he made enough money to get a studio. In the late Seventies he began creating the work that regained the art world's attention, "encasing things in concrete or plaster and then cutting them back like an archeologist". The objects in question were everyday things — telephones, hairdryers and vacuum cleaners — and these futuristic time-capsules were inspired by visits to the Geological Museum, now part of the Natural History Museum, looking at fossils with his family. "That just slowly permeated into: 'I wonder if I could make a fossil? Could I make a fossil of now?' It was as simple as that, that started the whole thing off," he recalls.
Scouring Brixton's streets like an arty rag-and-bone man, he soon began cutting into the objects, exposing their innards. He chopped up a bicycle frame, and pondered reversing the process. "There was a spin dryer sitting there, and I thought, 'I wonder if I can make a bicycle frame out of that?'" He drew the shape of the frame on the side of the spin dryer, cut it out and formed it into a sculpture. "From there, I realised these things that I am finding have this fantastic amount of material on them that I can use to make other things."
A second bicycle sculpture immediately followed, this time with handlebars, and is one of the highlights of the RA show, alongside other gems such as Red Monkey (1985) in which a playful scarlet simian stands on a filing cabinet from which he's been cut, surveying a scene featuring guns and bombs formed by bowling balls and cut metal.
The images of violence and war reflected Woodrow's humanitarian concerns and "a feeling of not being able to affect any of those", he says. "The only thing I could do is to make something about them, but not as a political statement. It was just me, I suppose, writing the next page of my diary: 'this is what's concerning me today'."
Animals were used as a Trojan horse to deal with these more troubling subjects. "I've called it 'the Bambi syndrome': if you have an image of an animal in a sculpture, it immediately draws people's attention to it, it's this sort of magnet," he says. "And then you can have this other thing that's happening around it, which isn't such a magnet — you pull people in and then you hit them with something else."
But he stopped making the cutouts at the height of interest. "It got to the point where I was bored, and I knew exactly what I was doing, and that's the time to stop and go somewhere else," he says. "I would have gone mad."
Mystery art: Untitled 1979, from his archeologist and fossil period (Picture: Bill Woodrow RA) So while peers such as Kapoor and Gormley slowly developed their Eighties work to spectacular success, Woodrow took a different path and has been a quieter, if still important presence within British sculpture in the past 20 years.
His post-cutout work features more traditional materials such as bronze and wood in theatrical creations, like his Beekeeper series from the late Nineties, featuring a wooden marionette in curious narrative tableaux. "When you're a younger artist, there are always things that you're not going to do because they're part of art history, or that's what the old farts who have just gone by were using," he says. "But then there comes a certain point — and it came after stopping the cutout work — I thought: 'This is ridiculous, there aren't any rules, you can use anything you like.'"
This spirit of playfulness continues in his newest sculpture, which he unpacks from its crate for the Standard. A cluster of sticks fashioned into a crude human skull, cast in bronze and covered in gold leaf, it's called Self-Portrait in the Year 2089, part of a series of putrified sculptural selfies. "I wanted to make a self-portrait of when I wasn't going to be around, and the skull is the classic memento mori," he says.
It's a witty take on the solemn, contemplative self-portraits of art history, but, like so much of Woodrow's work, it's also a strange and intriguing object. "I hope there's some mystery, because if there isn't, then I'm not interested in it," he says. "If I can make something where I say, 'What the fuck's that?' and it's sculpturally interesting, then I get the biggest hit from that."
Bill Woodrow RA is at Burlington Gardens at the Royal Academy, W1 (020 7300 8000, royalacademy.org.uk) from Nov 7 until Feb 16. Admission £8, concs available.

In 1219 A.D., after the fifth crusade, in a period of truce and peace negotiations between the Christians and Muslims, St. Francis of Assisi collaborated with the Sultan of Egypt, Malik al-Kamil. In Saint Francis and the Sultan, John Tolan writes, "If the crusades lend themselves to the paradigm of the 'clash of civilizations', the peaceful encounter of Francis and al-Kamil offers, on the contrary, a gleam of hope." New York Times writer, Thomas Cahill wrote in The Peaceful Crusader, "We stand in desperate need of contemporary figures like Kamil and Francis of Assisi to create an innovative dialogue."

Swingin' New Years Eve
Sometimes you want to enter the future while paying tribute to yesteryear. It seems a bunch of parties make this their thang, but at Retro Lounge, formerly 5 Points Lounge and Monterrey Club, has kept their Rockabilly aesthetic steady, day in and day out. They'll be welcoming 2014 with a Rat Pack tribute by Tony Martelli, more sounds by the Retro Lounge Swing Band, and DJ Ronn's bringing videos from the past. Naturally, there will be burlesque - "Bump and Grind Classic Vegas" style - tattooed ladies, and Frank Sinatra lookalikes. Times Square and a balloon drop will connote the arrival of January First. Remember, the key here is: It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing.

Ratings & Reviews
I worked with Rico to sell my father's home. Rico was not only knowledgeable and a good negotiator, but he was an absolute pleasure to work with. Working long distance by phone and email went smoothly and he was very prompt with his responses to my questions. He worked diligently and often late into the evening to get necessary paperwork completed and forwarded to escrow. I feel comfortable with the price we got for the house, and we had an several offers on the table within just a few days of putting it on the market. Although we had accepted an offer and was in escrow, Rico held an open house and got a good backup offer just in case the first deal fell through. When the buying party wanted some unreasonable demands to be met, Rico fought for us and refused the demands, ready to bring in the backup offer if the buyer pulled out--but they didn't. Escrow finished in about 30 days, and Rico was on top of it right to the end. I would highly recommend Rico to anyone wishing to sell a home.
Rico Alexander is very nice and professional, he showed us a lot of houses in San marcos and Oceanside ,they are all beautiful ,it's too bad we decided not moving to San diego. If we change our mind in the future, we will contact Rico again.
Rico was an excellent agent. I highly recommend Rico if you are looking for a honest, knowledgeable agent. He was reliable and VERY patient thru our purchase of our first home that was also a short sale. Rico responded quickly to all our inquiry's and was familiar with com-parable's in the areas that we were looking at. He went out of his way to make sure we understood the short sale process and supported our decisions when it came to negotiating the final cost with the financial institution.
Rico took a stressful process and made it trouble free.
Rico was amazing to work with! He was patient during the long process of looking at different condos in a variety of areas. When I finally selected one, he made a very difficult process as easy as possible. His follow up with the other agent was nothing short of miraculous. I am finally a homeowner, thanks to Rico!
I would recommend Rico to all of my friends and family. We met Rico through a referral from a close friend and he lived up to his reputation. The house buying process is difficult to say the least and Rico is there every step of the way to answer any questions about the buying and lending process.
Rico will work hard for you and come up with solutions to get you the house of your dreams!
Thank you Rico!
-Wade & Kristi
I did a Short Sale on my East San Diego home in 2010.
What normally would have been a devastating and stressful situation actually went quite smoothly and I attribute all of that to the expertise and compassion of this realtor.
Rico is exactly that type of person you want to work with. I found him to be responsible, discrete, knowledgeable, integriful, conscientious, cooperative, flexible, considerate. I could go on. Bottom line, he's a professional gem and if you ever have an opportunity to work with him, do not hesitate. You will not be disappointed. He knows his stuff and he genuinely cares about his clients.
Rico was very helpful in guiding my wife and I through the short sale process. He walked us through step by step with this process, which was very reassuring to us. Without his expertise, we might not have been able to get through this sometimes tedious ordeal. Rico was also very instrumental in my wife and I purchasing our first home. Prior to that, he was also our property manager. I would recommend Rico to anyone with full confidence.
I was really lucky to have Rico help me to buy first house in Encinitas. He always make sure I'm in right track and take a time for me to understand these complicated house contracts. Because I'm from foreign country, it was very important for me to have a broker who I can truly trust. Once I made a big decision to buy a house, it went very smooth! I definitely recommend Rico to everyone who look for house!
Rico Alexander helped my wife and I sell our home in Chula Vista in 2009. He sold it faster than he said he would. He negotiated the short sale and dealt with both lenders to make sure we would be legally protected. We have reviewed Rico to friends and family and will continue to do so. Great guy and has great follow up and is very professional.

La Joliette, Marseille, France
Awaking each morning to tea and toast etc. served to our room whenever we desire (6:30 for me) and having it on the balcony as the ship comes in to the next port is an unforgettable experience. This we did again today as we arrived at Marseilles - La Joliette. The view is stunning and we later enjoyed it more as we had 'proper breakfast' on the Terrace upstairs with John and Melinda. Then off on our meanderings into Marseille. After a good ...

For dinner tonight, a few of us when to the locally owned Thai food restaurant that was next to the hotel. I had never had Thai food before, and never would have thought that the first time I would be having it would be in France. It was incredible! I had a curry chicken and shrimp that was very much like coconut shrimp that I have had in the ...

The "Gwens" did their own thing in Marseille and commented on the poor shopping, how filthy the city was and how they regretted not doing a tour out of Marseille. After a lovely farewell dinner we returned back to the cabin to pack our bags to fly to Paris tomorrow. We had to have our luggage out by 1am to be collected and taken down to a holding area.

We passed a lolly shop that Eli wanted to visit on the way back. I think we've bought more lollies for Eli than chocolate for me this trip! It was quite a hot day, as I mentioned (not rubbing it in for those who enjoy hot weather at home :D) so we stopped to put some sun cream on. We couldn't get onto ...

NSF Grant Establishes Nanomagnetics Research Program in Collaboration with Naval Research Labs
Detecting biological agents, developing land mine discovery techniques and improving computer memory durability are among the projects in which some University of Houston engineering students will be involved through the National Science Foundation-Navy Civilian Service Fellowship Program.
Through a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant, the Nanoscale Interdisciplinary Research Team at UH's Cullen College of Engineering is collaborating with the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory and the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division to provide opportunities for a group of students in the electrical and computer engineering department to participate in joint research programs to study and develop technologies in the area of nanomagnetics.
Nanomagnetics looks at magnetic materials at the near-atomic level, encompassing devices and systems made of magnetic building blocks invisible to the naked eye.
To date, graduate students Barry Craver, Ariel Ruiz and Darren Smith were selected by the department to participate in the program. These students are pursuing research at UH during the academic year and will be interning throughout the summer at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C., or the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division in China Lake, Calif. A mentor will be working with each student throughout their internships at these sites as part of this professional development program.
"Not only is this a great opportunity for the students, who may potentially receive job offers from these labs, but the collaboration also allows the college and university to work closely with Navy research and development centers," said Dmitri Litvinov, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at UH and principal investigator for the project. "We've placed three highly qualified students in the program who specialize in the designated research areas so far, and the prestige of this program will help us with our recruitment efforts."
Litvinov, along with Jack Wolfe, UH professor of electrical and computer engineering, pursued the program offered by NSF in an effort to expand collaborative research ventures with the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, one of the top research organizations in the nation. The research will be conducted at the Center for Nanomagnetic Systems at UH led by Litvinov as part of the Nanoscale Interdisciplinary Research Team.
Totaling more than $226,000 in direct costs, the NSF grant will support the fellowship and tuition-related costs for the students. The research will focus on the development of device structures, including nanomagnetic biosensors, magnetic random access memory (MRAM) and ultra-sensitive magnetic sensors for detecting land mines.
The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory is interested in development of the nanomagnetic biosensors that can be utilized for detection of biological warfare agents, such as anthrax, as well as for civilian applications, such as food and water safety monitoring. The lab also is interested in the development of low-power, non-volatile computer memory that can withstand the effects of ionizing radiation and severe electromagnetic pulses, the by-products of nuclear explosion.
The third project, in collaboration with the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division, will focus on the development of a new high-sensitivity technique to improve land mine detection for U.S. military personnel while on foreign soil.
"The opportunity to work in collaboration with the naval laboratories is substantial," said Raymond Flumerfelt, dean of the Cullen College of Engineering. "The students and faculty members will benefit greatly from these joint research endeavors and play a significant role in developing technology that will ultimately have great impact."
Employing nanomagnetics has the potential to power the information age far beyond the roadmaps of the data storage and semiconductor industries.
In addition to the research and educational benefits such a program provides participants, the Navy has scheduled biannual NSF-Navy Civilian Service Leadership symposia to help students with professional development.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
08 Nov 2012 20:19 GMT | Politics, Asia, France, Iran
France has called on the Iranian authorities to explain the death in custody of a blogger who, opposition activists say, was killed by torture for criticising the government on the internet.
A French foreign ministry spokesman said on Thursday that Paris was "profoundly shocked" to have learned of the death in custody of 35-year-old Sattar Beheshti.
"We call on the Iranian authorities to shed as much light as possible on the circumstances of his death," the spokesman said.
"The repression of peacefully expressed dissident voices in Iran is unacceptable."
According to opposition groups, Beheshti's family were asked on Wednesday to collect his body from the Kahrizak detention centre in Tehran, where he had been held since being arrested on October 30.
In the last blog he wrote before his arrest, Beheshti had said he was being constantly harassed by telephone by members of the security services.
"Yesterday they threatened to tell my mother that she would soon be wearing black if I did not shut up," he wrote.
It is thought Beheshti was targeted for his writings on political and social issues on his blog and on Facebook.
Beheshti's family say they have been prevented from visiting his grave, with the exception of his brother-in-law.
Amnesty International (AI) has also called on the Iranian authorities to answer questions on Beheshti's death.
"Fears that Sattar Beheshti died as a result of torture in an Iranian detention facility, after apparently lodging a complaint about torture are very plausible, given Iran's track record when it comes to deaths in custody," said Ann Harrison, AI's deputy Middle East and North Africa programme director.

After Chelsea's last match of the season, 2-year-old Josh Turnbull (son of Chelsea goalkeeper Ross Turnbull) decided to show off his skills. As Josh inched closer to the goal, the crowd began to cheer louder and louder, until the ball finally rolled across the line — at which point everyone just completely lost their minds. Crank up the sound on this, or wear a pair of headphones.
Like any great athlete, young Turnbull reveled in the roars of the spectators.
Kid knows how to celebrate — he's basically halfway to being a pro.

Vintage: 2007
2007 was the year that saw California's wine industry pick up once again, after a troubling couple of years. Indeed, all across the state of California, fantastic harvests were reported as a result of fine weather conditions throughout the flowering and ripening periods, and Napa Valley and Santa Barbera wines were widely considered amongst the best in the world in 2007, with Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes packing in all sorts of fine and desirable features in this year. South Africa, too, had a much-needed fantastic year for red wines, with Pinotage particularly displaying strong characteristics, alongside the country's other flagship red wine grape varietals. Over in Europe, France had another fine year, especially for white wines. Champagne wineries were very happy with their Chardonnay harvests, and the Loire Valley and Graves in Bordeaux are proclaiming 2007 to be a memorable year due to the quality of their white wine grapes. For French red wines, Provence had their best year for almost a decade, as did the Southern Rhone. However, 2007 was most favorable to Italy, who saw high yields of exceptional quality across almost all of their major wine producing regions. Tuscany is claiming to have produced its best Chianti and Brunello wines for several years in 2007, and Piedmont and Veneto had a wonderful year for red wines. For Italian white wines, 2007 was an extremely successful year for Alto Adige and Campania. Germany also had a very good 2007, with Riesling displaying extremely dry and crisp characteristics, as did Portugal, where Port wine from 2007 is said to be one to collect.
Varietal: Merlot
Merlot is one of those grape varietals which produces wines loved by almost everybody. Single variety Merlot wines tend to be balanced, medium bodied and full of rich and juicy fruit flavors wherever they are produced, which is almost in every wine producing country across the globe. Their wide appeal is partly due to the fact that Merlot, unlike other dark blue grape varietals, have a thinner skin carrying a lower tannin content. This allows wineries to produce wines which are packed full of fruit-forward flavors, and yet have a softer, fleshier and more rounded character making them highly drinkable and easy to pair with a wide variety of foods. As one of the 'Bordeaux varieties', Merlot is used in the production of some of the world's finest and most expensive wines, but is reliable enough and of a high enough quality as a grape to produce a wide range of wines affordable for all.
Region: Umbria
The region of Umbria in central Italy is one of the country's most interesting wine regions, as well as being one of the most ancient. Umbria was home to many of the Roman's finest wines, and ancient civilizations such as the Romans were quick to recognize the potential a small region such as Umbria had, with its rolling, lush green hillsides, long hot summers and cooler ripening periods. Today, the region has a strong and characterful wine industry, with wineries in Umbria keen to experiment with blending together native grape varietals such as Sangiovese and Grechetto with imported Bordeaux varietals, in order to produce truly unique and exceedingly delicious wines. Tradition still plays an important role in Umbria, however, and wineries in the region are keen to use modern techniques alongside their time honored methods in order to produce the best wines possible.
Country: Italy
There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.

How easy it is to feel and be grateful when circumstances are good. But the real test of genuine faith is our heart's response when life is difficult. Today we are facing uncertainty individually and as a nation, and the question before us is whether we will trust, with thankful hearts, the sovereign God who rules over all or succumb to fear and self-pity. Nancy's book on gratitude is a guide worth following in stressful times, for she shows us that giving thanks in all things is the key to a peaceful, joy-filled heart in every circumstance of life.
-Barbara Rainey, cofounder of FamilyLife
Given what Christ has done for us, our lives should overflow with gratitude. Sadly, too often they don't. Choosing Gratitude speaks powerfully to one of our most important issues as individuals, families, and churches. Nancy Leigh DeMoss is biblical, honest, challenging, and practical. I enthusiastically recommend this book.
-Randy Alcorn, bestselling author of If God is Good
