I hope it's just a (forest) moon: ILM rep to be at NASA press conference Thursday
ILM visual effects supervisor John Knoll will be at a NASA press conference on Thursday. The presser is regarding a discovery made by the Kepler misson.
Kepler is the first NASA mission capable of finding Earth-size planets in or near the "habitable zone," the region in a planetary system where liquid water can exist on the surface of the orbiting planet.
What could it be?
In the news: Vader costume going on the auction block
Costume for sale. An original Darth Vader costume – believed to have been from The Empire Strikes Back – will soon be going up for auction at Christie's in London. It's being put up for sale by "an American private collector" and is expected to fetch at least $250,000. A percentage of the sale price will go to cancer research.
In spaaaaace. A stable planet orbiting twin stars has been found 49 light-years away. (Alas – it is a gas giant.) Still, researchers have named the planet "Inrakluk," which sounds pretty Wookiee to me.
Partnerships. Lucas Online has a new partner, Big Spaceship, for some of their digital endeavors. Maybe this means we'll see a kickass StarWars.com app?
People. USA Weekend interviews Matt Lanter, the actor who angsts enough for two on The Clone Wars and 90210.
Books. Visions is getting some nice press… Check out a profile of contributing artist Robert Bailey, who got to meet George Lucas, from The Edmonton Journal.
The fandom minute: Felicia Day, Kristen Bell, space, Jedi and discounted alcoholic beverages
Felicia Day gets her saber on. The internet geek superstar (you probably know her from The Guild, and Dr. Horrible) can check another box on her ultimate geek list by appearing in an internet lightsaber fight.
Kristen Bell teams up with hometown 501s. The Fanboys actress helped the the Great Lakes Garrison raise $2,000 for Michigan charities.
Those look familiar. Check out what they're building on the International Space Station. Go go science fact!
Jedi church looking for a Master. Too easy. Way too easy.

Video: Gravity and the Great Attractor
George Takei and Mark Hamill are guests on this episode of Irrelevant Astronomy. And how can you say no to a tongue-in-cheek robot talk show produced by NASA anyway?
The catchup: Links from Twitter
Here are some of the things I've micro-blogged over @clubjade in the last week or so.
Hollywood hyperbole. Sony's Amy Pascal thinks that James Cameron's Avatar could be the next Star Wars. I'm just trying to think of an upcoming genre movie I care less about than Avatar and failing miserably.
Duck and cover, Dallas. Will Texas be able to handle the squee produced by an official Twilight convention? We can only hope the lack of Robert Pattinson gives them a fighting chance.
Space blob approaches! Guys. GUYS. Waru is coming! I repent of all my Twilight mocking. Okay, not really.
But the real question is, who did they ship? Wired's Scott Brown takes a brief look back at Sherlock Holmes fanfic.
Presented without comment. Guess who wants to write a Wonder Woman novel?
This post is brought to you by the letter T
It's Monday and I got nothing. Granted, I just got here, so don't give up on us yet. But for now, take a look at The Secret Life of Toys. It has stormtroopers, Indiana Jones, and bloodthirsty Muppets. Score!
- How about teddy bears… IN SPAAAAACE! (Sorta.)
- Or if that fails, there's always edible books. Genre standouts include Lard of the Rings and Sword and the Scone.
- Looking for something less stationary? How about Joss Whedon and Ron Moore playing themselves on the season premiere of Robot Chicken?
Double sunset not all that far-fetched
Scotty heads back to space
James Doohan (known to many of us as Scotty) will be heading to space on April 27th.
Jimmy, who died in 2005, wanted his remains sent to space; following the lead of friend Gene Roddenberry. Also on Jimmy's rocket will be remains of astronaut Gordon Cooper.

Historical facts do not support Hank Plante's unstated premise, in essence that the tribes are going for too much.
In 1969, we were part of a coalition that had to threaten a sit-in in order to meet with the U.S. secretary of agriculture in order to get a hearing on rural poverty. When we mentioned poverty on the reservations, he quickly dismissed the issue by saying that these were sovereign nations and they should decide any economic issue. ...

Hi. I really hope this is the forum for general help. I imagine my question's been asked before, but I have searched both the forums and the web, and don't feel I've found what I need. I thought it might be too general for the Plugins forum, but if not, I will gladly post there.
In short, I am looking for a plugin that will allow me to publish a blog post to a Facebook page. I would like to sync the comments between the Facebook page and WordPress so the same set of comments appears both in Facebook and on the blog.
I sincerely apologize if I flew right over the answer to this. Thanks very much in advance.

Tenants have tried over the years to bring some art and cheerfulness to their environment: 22 giant murals depicting the work of Tony Garnier, the turn-of-the-20th-century Lyon architect, were painted on the walls. Artists from around the world, with the support of UNESCO, have added their vision to the creation of the ideal housing project.

New FZ150- TO FZ200 owner initial findings...
Sep 6, 2012
Switching from the FZ150 to the new 200 I must say the new cam is already pleasing me. Despite the horror stories on here I'm fining the F2.8 nice and sharp with nice bokeh. Low noise at ISO 100 and the EVF is although small its much much better than the old one. Its really clear. Could this be the perfect camera for me? Gonna give it a real test drive on sunday to see!

Commodores in command of Starships?

Stocker taking command still irritates me. Despite his rank, he was in no way qualified to command a starship. And when he decided to take a "shortcut" through the Neutral Zone, he should have been certified batshit crazy. There were plenty of officers unaffected by the aging disease -- Sulu, Uhura, hell even Chekov -- who were better suited to take command. If Stocker were not focused on his own selfish needs, he could have recognized that and put one of them in command.
It did stretch credulity that rank alone could give someone command despite having no applicable experience.
Perhaps that usage has changed by the 23rd century, though. After all, in his log at the beginning of TUC as commanding officer of the
, Sulu refers to himself as "master of this vessel."
Yeah, that was really grating. Maybe he has a more poetic log style? Still, I would avoid it.
But that is, as you say, a "courtesy." If an admiral -- say an obsessed admiral like Kirk at the beginning of TMP, for example -- wanted to throw his weight around, is there any reason he couldn't just stroll onto the bridge and issue orders?
I suppose so but it is almost unimaginable. For one thing, admirals really don't come to you, they summon you to them. Also, the admiral coming to the bridge and giving orders in front of everyone would be such a show of no confidence in the captain that some very serious stuff would probably go down in the aftermath. It would be contrary to all professional norms and the experience and expectations of all involved. There are channels for everything to go through that have worked for many years.
BUT, it is true that admirals can micromanage and meddle in the management of the flagship, because who is going to stop them? Some are worse than others. Ernest King turned down command of
and waited for
because "Sara" would be the flagship and he didn't want an admiral breathing down his neck. And then he went on to become a fairly meddlesome admiral, himself.

Her due date is right around the corner but she has three other kids to remind her of the importance of education especially during back to school time.

Obviously, knowledge of bicycle mechanics is pretty important, especially when you want to start building/upgrading a bike with specific components or you start touring.
But did you buy/receive your bike first, and learn the mechanics as problems arose? Did you practice on an old bike before buying/building one yourself? Who did you learn from, or did you do it alone/with help from a book/internet?
Just curious

Polish Central Bank Seen Holding Rates for Ninth Month
Poland's central bank will probably refrain from cutting interest rates and leave borrowing costs unchanged as the economy grows six times faster than the euro-region average and inflation holds above target.
The Narodowy Bank Polski will leave the benchmark seven-day interest rate for a ninth month at 4.5 percent, the highest since January 2009, at a meeting today, according to all 36 economists surveyed by Bloomberg. The bank will announce its decision after 12 p.m. in Warsaw with a news conference to follow at 4 p.m., where a guideline for an updated economic outlook will also be released.
"It's quite clear that inflation staying much above the target for a number of months already creates some internal pressure within the Monetary Policy Council, which does not feel comfortable with a high growth plus high inflation environment," Maciej Reluga, chief economist at Bank Zachodni WBK, said in a report.
Poland's main interest rate is at a three-year high as inflation has stayed above the 3.5 percent upper limit of the central bank's target range since December 2010. Rates are now at an appropriate level and any change will hinge on the central bank's new inflation forecast, Jerzy Hausner of the Monetary Policy Council said Feb. 28. Consumer prices grew 4.1 percent in January from the same month a year earlier.
Policy makers in the Czech Republic and Hungary left rates unchanged last month amid a temporary spike in inflation.
"The inflation path in the March projection will be the key for interest rates in the coming period," said Wiktor Wojciechowski, chief economist at Invest Bank in Warsaw. Rates will hold steady until the end of the year, he said.
Economic Growth
Poland's economy expanded 4.3 percent in the fourth quarter from a year earlier, topping the 4.1 percent median forecast of 27 economists surveyed by Bloomberg, the statistics office said March 1. Growth was boosted by a 10.3 percent jump in investment, fueled by EU subsidies spent on roads, bridges and farm modernization. Strong growth and high inflation may trigger an interest rate increase, central bankers said in recent weeks.
"The new GDP projection will be probably lowered on a weaker economy in the euro region, while inflation will be probably seen higher," Piotr Kalisz, chief economist at Citigroup Inc.'s Polish unit Bank C Handlowy SA in Warsaw, said in a report.
'Relatively Fast'
The central bank is "more likely to keep rates unchanged or raise them" than cut borrowing costs, Monetary Policy Council member Anna Zielinska-Glebocka told private broadcaster TVN CNBC on March 1. Most council members said rate increases can't be ruled out if Poland sustains "relatively fast" economic growth and an "elevated" inflation rate, according to the minutes of the January rate meeting published on Feb. 23.
Six-month forward-rate agreements, used to bet on future interest-rate levels, traded six basis points below the Warsaw interbank offered rate yesterday, the smallest gap in three weeks, suggesting investors expect the central bank to leave rates unchanged in the coming months.
The zloty, up 8.6 percent against the euro this year, is still 9.1 percent weaker against the euro than in April 2010, when it hit 3.83, its highest since the global financial crisis. The zloty slump last year helped Polish exporters and boosted prices of imported goods boosting inflation together with commodities prices.
The zloty traded at 4.1612 per euro at 9:44 a.m. in Warsaw, up from 4.1676 late yesterday.
Upward Revision
Governor Marek Belka said March 2 the statistics office's 2011 full-year economic growth estimate of 4.3 percent "is probably going to be revised up somewhat," and while a slowdown should be expected this year, the economy will still expand at least 3 percent.
The government has stuck to its 2012 GDP growth target of 2.5 percent even as JP Morgan and PKO Bank Polski recently both raised theirs to 3 percent. The European Commission last month kept its forecast for Poland's economy to expand 2.5 percent this year, the fastest growth in the 27-member bloc.
"This means the commission shares the view that our economy is resistant to external shocks," Marek Rozkrut, director of the Finance Ministry's Analysis and Statistical Department in Warsaw ,said in a March 2 interview. "The indicators point to the start of a recovery in the euro area, even if we have to wait for it until the second half of the year. In this scenario, Poland would weather the EU slowdown relatively easily."

'"They're about taking out the entire Iranian military."
'This particular spine-chiller comes from Alexis Debat, excitingly identified as "director of terrorism and national security" at the Nixon Center. According to Debat, the big takeout is what the U.S. Air Force has in store, as opposed to mere "pinprick strikes" against the infamous nuclear facilities.
'Predicting imminent war on Iran has been one of the top two items in Cassandra's repertoire for a couple of years now, rivaled only by global warming as a sure-fire way to sell newspapers and boost website hits.' (CounterPunch article).

"O magnify the Lord with me!"(Ps 34:3). One effective way to closely examine, investigate, and wo..
Rick loves playing the drums
Father continues to illustrate His redemptive ways and reveal kingdom blueprints through His precious Father's House family in Uganda. We are prompted to share a recent breakthrough He accomplished in our 15 year-old son Rick. In the three years since we received him from a refugee camp into the love and security of our family, the Spirit has been delivering and healing Rick layer by layer and unearthing a mighty calling and purpose within this precious son. He has a great academic aptitude, and as his reverence and affection for the Father and Son has grown, creativity in art, dance, and playing the drums has burst forth in him. He has a colorful, radical, beautiful spirit!
As a boy, Rick was with his mother harvesting crops when a band of rebel soldiers came upon them and murdered his mother before his eyes. Miraculously, they did not abduct Rick, but the trauma left him emotionally paralyzed and vulnerable to darkness. Recently he became deeply distressed by a sudden recurrence of memories of his mother's murder. Another "layer" was clearly being laid open to the Light. For the first time he related to us how his aunt (guardian after his mother's death) imparted to him the "gift" of seeing the future. With a knife she would cut into the flesh of his neck and lower back and invoke a divining spirit. Rick showed us the scars. The power of this witchcraft still held sway over him because he knew those experiences were real and "believed." Belial is a very crafty captor, using half-truths to inspire a counterfeit "faith" in himself as a "credible source" to thwart Father's future and bring about his own plan. "As sheep they are appointed for Sheol; Death shall be their shepherd…and their form shall be for Sheol to consume so that they have no habitation [rest]" (Ps 49:14).
As we carefully opened to our son the reality of two opposing kingdoms, each with their own source, fruit, and end, Rick voluntarily prayed, "Father, I want to be Your son and I choose Your future for my life, in Jesus' name!" Through our hands, Father anointed each of the scars on Rick's neck and back with oil, defusing their power. "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call on Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you'" (Jer 29:11-14). As Father's children seeking first His kingdom and righteousness, we are destined for His future!
The spirit of childhood [childlikeness] is the natural emblem of the Christian spirit…self-unconsciousness, trustfulness, guilelessness, conscientiousness, teachableness, obedience, faith, hope, love–which give the child a particular aptitude for the kingdom of God…the child-state is prerequisite to the heavenly [nest of rest] (George Dana Boardman, The Church, p77).
Pray for our Lifechangers medical team of doctors, nurses, and their families coming to Uganda May 16-30. The team of 28 along with our Father's House family will touch and illumine a vast slum snared in poverty, witchcraft, alcoholism, and all forms of abuse that accompany these things. The Spirit has directed us to engage the slum as six small, 'family' teams going into homes since many cannot afford or will not seek medical care. The teams will provide vitamins, de-worming tablets, and mosquito nets and do basic triage in the homes. Those who need medical care will be treated in a mobile clinic set up in our women's micro-business center nearby.
We eagerly anticipate Father's future for us together. You are greatly loved,
The Mumfords

My "Best of the Blogs" posts are usually random, but this week I thought it'd be fun to spotlight a theme: the ever-popular top 5 lists.
Top 5 Children's Books for Grown-Ups
Posted by Brain Pickings
There's nothing out of left field on this list, and I'd bet most of us have already read all 5 of these titles. But still, it's nice to be reminded of stories we loved as children, and the excerpts printed on the blog have inspired me to revisit these classics. Here's a quote from the #1 pick; can you guess the book? "Here is my secret. It is very simple: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."
Malcolm Gladwell's Top 5 Novels of All Time
Posted by Read This
Short stories, a literary classic, spy thrillers. . . there's a lot of variety on Gladwell's list, and his comments on To Kill a Mockingbird fit nicely with the Top 5 Children's Books for Grown-Ups post: "I know, I know. Everyone read it as a kid. But I think it deserves to be read again, because if you read it closely, as an adult, all of a sudden a lot of what you thought was moving and beautiful turns out to be a bit creepy. That's all I'm saying." When I read TKAM as an 8th grader I found certain parts disturbing, heartbreaking, funny—but never particularly creepy. (Well, Boo Radley was creepy.) Maybe it is time for another close read.
Yann Martel's Favorite Reads
Posted by The Daily Beast
If you've read Beatrice & Virgil, it'll come as no surprise that #1 on Martel's list is The Divine Comedy. Turns out he also loves Coetzee (his favorite living author) and Zora Neale Hurston.
What are your favorite book blog posts from the week? Seen any good top 5 lists?
Du Bose Heyward's classic 1939 picture book The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes—in which a mother bunny dreams of being an Easter Bunny–will be adapted into a series of animated holiday specials for TV and DVD. Animation Studio Rainmaker Entertainment bought the rights to the story, and Bernice Vanderlaan (Disney's "Life With Derek" TV show) will write the adapation.
Learning Magazine called the book—which teaches how a female bunny really can defy prejudice and be the Easter Bunny (all while raising a family)—a "very modern feminist tale." In a blog post on The New Yorker's book blog, Kelly Bare writes of the book's "small but worshipful following"—the 71-year-old story has never been out of print. Are you among that group? Will your family watch The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes when it comes out on TV?
The Moby Awards—recognizing the best (and worst) in book trailers—were announced last night in New York City. I am happy to say that the trailer for Lowboy by John Wray won for Best Cameo in a Book Trailer (actor/comedian Zach Galifinakis is hilarious in his interview with the author); you can watch the video in my original post about the awards.
Other winners include:
Best Low Budget/Indie Book Trailer: I am in the Air Right Now by Kathryn Regina
Best Big Budget/Big House Book Trailer:? Going West by Maurice Gee
Best Performance by in Author: Dennis Cass in Head Case
Least Likely Trailer to Sell the Book: Sounds of Murder by Patricia Rockwell
You can watch all the trailers on the Moby website. Also, do you know of any particularly good (or bad) book trailers you'd like to share?
Here's another update for Kathryn Stockett fans. (I keep thinking The Help may have lost some momentum—but then someone new will recommend it to me, not knowing that I've read it, or beg for a book suggestion because they just finished The Help and they loved it. No wonder Penguin's holding the paperback release until January 4, 2011. . . nearly two years after the hardcover's publication.)
Anyway, the news is that Octavia Spencer has been cast as Minny Jackson, Aibileen's feisty best friend and Celia Foote's maid. According to Entertainment Weekly, Stockett and Spencer have known each other for "close to a decade" and the actress "served as the inspiration for the outspoken character." (She's also Minny's voice on the audio version of The Help.) Spencer has appeared in a number of movies and TV shows, but she's probably best known for her role as Constance Grady in "Ugly Betty."
I mentioned this briefly during Children's Reading Week, but I want you all to know that next Wednesday (May 26) we're launching a children's/teen e-newsletter called Reading Corner. I am really excited about this project because I love teen and middle grade novels (see here, here, here... here) and I think it will be a lot of fun to share our children's coverage with a group who especially appreciates books for young readers.
We're creating the newsletter for parents, grandparents, teachers, librarians, young readers and adults who love kid lit. Each issue will be filled with interviews, news and reviews of the best new books—and much of the content will appear in the newsletter before it's published on BookPage.com.
In the first edition, we're doing a mega-giveaway. You could win these five new novels (a couple of which I'd bet will be serious Newbery contenders). So, if you want a chance to win the books, sign up for the newsletter here.
As we approach the launch date, I'd love to hear any thoughts on what type of kids books you like to read about: picture books? dystopian teen novels? Feel free to leave a message in the comments section, and I hope you enjoy Reading Corner!
Another week, same cookbook: the Brombergs had so many to choose from. First Spicy Egg Shooters, now dessert. Read on for a sweet treat from two sibling chefs with a passion "for making whatever they make the best it can be." This one comes with a great story.
October 25, 1992. One week prior to opening Blue Ribbon, we place a call to Paris: "Bruno, help!"
The faint reply from the other side of the ocean: "Don't worry, guys, I'll be there. Besides, I could use a break."
And with that, our mentor, Chef Bruno Hess from Le Recamier restaurant in Paris, was on his way to the rescue.
Bruno worked four nearly 24-hour days in a row, sleeping on the floor of the dining room while helping us get to opening day. Some break!
One of the nights during his stay we attacked the famed Fondant Chocolat, a dense chocolate mousse that was one of Bruno's specialties in Paris. Due to the differences between American and French eggs and butter, we couldn't get the recipe to work at all. We were incredibly frustrated; it was something we'd made hundreds of times before in France, so why wasn't it coming out right in SoHo? By sunrise, and several hundreds of eggs later, we arrived at something completely different but perhaps even more delicious than the original. It could no longer be called Fondant Chocolat. Voilà, the birth of Chocolate Bruno.
5 ounces white chocolate, chopped
2 ounces graham crackers (½ sleeve, or 4 full crackers), crushed (1 cup)
18 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 cup (2 sticks) plus 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons brewed espresso
8 large egg yolks
8 large egg whites
1 tablespoon sugar
Unsweetened cocoa powder, for serving
Hot Fudge, for serving
Raspberries, for serving (optional)
1. Line the bottom of 6 (8-ounce) ramekins with parchment or wax paper. In the top of a double boiler or in a bowl set over (but not touching) a pan of simmering water, melt the white chocolate; stir in the graham crackers. Divide equally among the prepared molds, using a spoon to spread evenly on each base.
Refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.
2. In the top of a double boiler or in a bowl set over (but not touching) a pan of simmering water, melt the semisweet chocolate and butter with the espresso.
Let cool for 2 minutes. Stir in (do not whisk) the yolks until just incorporated.
3. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the
whites until foamy. Slowly add the sugar and increase the speed. Beat until the
whites form soft, floppy peaks.
4. Fold a little bit of the whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it, then gently fold in the remaining egg whites. Spoon the mousse into the molds and level the tops with an offset spatula or spoon. Chill until set, about 3 hours or overnight.
5. To serve, gently dip the bottoms of the ramekins in a bowl of hot water for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Run a spatula along the edges of each ramekin (outside the parchment paper) and pop out the mousse. Remove the paper. Transfer the desserts to plates and dust with cocoa powder. Serve with a drizzle of hot fudge and raspberries, if desired.
Note: Pregnant women, the elderly, and people who have compromised immune systems should exercise caution when consuming the raw eggs in this recipe.
Blue Ribbon Wisdom
Chocolate, White and Otherwise
White chocolate can be a pretty sketchy product if you don't know what you're looking for. Read the ingredients and check for cocoa butter, which is the only thing about white chocolate that's related to chocolate at all! If it's not made with real cocoa butter, chances are the manufacturer is substituting cheap hydrogenated vegetable oils instead—resulting in a product euphemistically called "white confectionary tablet." You might be surprised that this recipe calls for semisweet rather than bittersweet chocolate. There's a reason, of course. Calling for semisweet chocolate allows us to use less sugar when beating the eggs whites, which makes a looser, lighter meringue. This keeps the Bruno mousse-like and fluffy rather than dense.

If these covers are any indication, we're going to be starting at the backs of a lot of people's heads this fall.
At least this brunette beauty is letting her locks flow free! Probably because she's an unconventional woman for her time, just like Cleopatra. The Improper Life of Bezellia Grove (Crown, August) is the second novel from Susan Gregg Gilmore, and it's set in Nashville! We're looking forward to giving it a read.
No one does "wistful" like an Anita Shreve heroine, and this photograph evokes that emotion perfectly. It's possible that Shreve's novels kicked off this back-of-the-head trend; her last book, A Change in Altitude, featured this motif as well.
And last but not least, a debut novel about a ballerina, Russian Winter (Morrow, September). Her chignon is lovely, but the low back on her top (leotard?) combined with the backwards necklace is giving me an Exorcist flashback.
Have you noticed this trend? Do these covers spark your imagination, make you curious or set a mood? Or would you rather see a person's face on the cover of your book?
Yesterday a book crossed my desk that would be a nice read for elementary and middle schoolers this summer: a middle grade version of Dewey the Library Cat by Vicki Myron and Bret Witter.
As many of you already know, Dewey Readmore Books was an orange tabby cat who lived in the Spencer Public Library in Spencer, Iowa. When library director Myron told his story in Dewey: The Small Town Library Cat Who Touched the World, the book sold for a reported $1.25 million and became a #1 New York Times Bestseller.
The middle grade version, which came out a few weeks ago, tells Dewey's now familiar tale and includes some adorable pictures. For the youngest readers, there are also a couple picture books available (such as Dewey: There's a Cat in the Library!).
Adults who fell in love with Dewey will be happy to hear that Myron has a new book coming out on Oct. 12—Dewey's Nine Lives: The Legacy of the Small-Town Library Cat Who Inspired Millions.
It's a no-brainer that readers love libraries, which Myron has called "the last great free enterprise in American society." What are your favorite books that are about libraries (or are love letters to libraries, as PW described Dewey back in 2008)?
Also, kid versions of adult books are nothing new—everyone from Glenn Beck (The Christmas Sweater: A Picture Book) to Al Gore (Our Choice: How We Can Solve the Climate Crisis, Young Reader's Edition) to Greg Mortenson (Three Cups of Tea : One Man's Journey to Change the World... One Child at a Time) seems to be doing it. Have parents/teachers/librarians found any such adaptation to be a notable hit with kids?

Crazy Love: A Memoir by Leslie Morgan Steiner
St. Martin's, March 30, 2010
Crazy Love is the story of Leslie's love-gone-wrong with boyfriend—and then husband—Conor. At first Leslie and Conor seemed like the perfect couple—totally in love and excited to begin their lives together—but slowly Conor begins to abuse Leslie, subtly and verbally at first, brutally and physically later. Gradually and methodically, he isolates her from friends and family, leaving Leslie terrified that she might never escape from the man she loves.
It's not an easy book to read, but I think it's an important one. And even though the subject matter is violent and difficult, Steiner's writing is fluid and lovely.
Here's an excerpt from the middle of the book, days before Leslie and Conor's wedding, and just a few hours after Conor pushed Leslie up against a wall, choked her and then threw her to the floor over a simple misunderstanding.
I pretended I didn't hear the Volkswagen pull in around 6:00pm. He came into my office holding the car keys, head down. I could smell fear on him, panic that I was going to vilify him for what he'd done or announce I'd canceled the wedding.
The dread on Conor's face offered a spider's thread of hope. If he were afraid, he'd never attack me again, right? I could leave anytime. And anyway, he'd just grabbed my throat. He couldn't have hit me. We were getting married.
Three days later, when my family and our wedding guests started arriving, the ten small reddish brown bruises around my neck were so faint no one noticed them.
Since today's Trailer Tuesday, it seems like a perfect time to write about the 2010 Moby Awards, which on Thursday will recognize the best and worst book trailers produced between April '09 and April '10.
A panel of judges will award prizes in the following categories: Best Big Budget Book Trailer; Best Low Budget Book Trailer; Best Cameo in a Book Trailer; Best Author Appearance in a Book Trailer; and Least Likely to Actually Sell the Book.
You can view the complete list of finalists (and watch the trailers) at this link. I don't think anyone will be surprised that two mash-ups from Quirk Books made the list—Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: The Dawn of the Dreadfuls (one of our first Trailer Tuesday selections) and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.
The trailer for Lowboy by John Wray (a finalist for Best Cameo) had me cracking up at my desk. Check it out:
What's your favorite out of the Moby finalists? On Friday morning, I'll do a follow-up post on the winners.

In The Girl with the Crooked Nose, Ted Botha tells the absorbing story of Frank Bender, a gifted, self-taught artist who can bring back the dead and the vanished through a unique, macabre sculpting talent. Bender has been the key to solving at least nine murders and tracking down numerous criminals. Then he is called upon to tackle the most challenging and bizarre case of his career.
Someone is killing the young women of Juarez. Since 1993, the decomposing bodies of as many as four hundred victims, known as feminicidios, have been found in the desert surrounding this gritty Mexican border town. In 2003, prodded by local political pressure and international attention, the Mexican authorities turn to the United States to help solve these horrific crimes. The man they turn to is Bender.
Through breathtakingly realistic sculptures, Bender reconstructs the faces of unknown murder victims or fugitives whose appearances are certain to have changed over years on the run. The busts are based in part on the painstaking application of forensic science to fleshless human skulls and in part on deep intuition, an uncanny ability to discern not only a missing face but also the personality behind it.
Arriving in Mexico, Bender works in secrecy, in a culture of corruption and casual violence where the line between criminals and law enforcement is blurry, braving anonymous threats and sinister coincidences to give eight skulls back their faces and, hopefully, their histories. Drawn to one skull in particular–"The Girl With the Crooked Nose"–Bender gradually comes to suspect that perhaps he is not meant to succeed, and that the true solution to the mystery of the feminicidios is far more terrible than anyone has dared to imagine.
Ted Botha brilliantly weaves Bender's story–the cases he has solved, the intricacies of his art, the colorful characters he encounters, and the personal cost of his strange obsession–with the chilling story of the Juarez investigation. With a conclusion as shocking as its story is gripping, The Girl with the Crooked Nose will haunt readers long after the last page is turned.
"…[a] crackling account of a quirky, maverick forensics artist, Frank Bender, and his largely successful efforts in facial reconstruction of murder victims…. extraordinary is Botha's writing, with his unerring depiction of Bender's painstaking work and the eventual unraveling of the brutal crimes it solves…. the tales in this book accurately capture the dark motives and complexities of senseless murder, and even the most savvy true-crime reader will not be able to resist the author's insightful storytelling."--Publishers Weekly

Go Raw With Shaved Salads — Sensational Sidesby Allison Milam in Recipes, April 17th, 2013
It seems that spring is finally gracing us with its presence. Good thing we didn't hold our breath, eh? In celebration of the season, bolt to your nearest farmers' market — or produce section — for some fresh, fresh, fresh produce.
Here's the catch: rather than zapping these veggies with heat, reach for a trusty kitchen tool instead: the mandoline. With its thin-slicing capabilities, this gadget converts veggies into some sensational no-cook sides. But be sure to watch yourself — this tool is seriously sharp. (Don't have a mandoline? A standard vegetable peeler will work just fine too.)
Summer Squash Carpaccio by Food Network Magazine is vibrant and vital as we progress into the warmer months. Here ribbons of yellow squash and zucchini are thin but perky as they marinate in a simple lemon vinaigrette with herbs and grated pecorino.
