ôThe Hunger Games: Catching Fireö and 3-D animated musical ôFrozenö dished up box office records over the Thanksgiving holiday.
Lionsgateĺs sequel earned a prodigious $75 million in its second weekend, while Disneyĺs frosty fete opened with $67 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.
Both films bested the previous Thanksgiving record holder, ôHarry Potter and the Sorcererĺs Stone,ö which earned $57.5 million in 2001 over a three-day period.
Snowballing its way to the top, ôFrozenö became the biggest Thanksgiving opening ever and the largest opening for Walt Disney Animation Studios. It earned $110 million globally.
ôFor a company whose foundation was built on animation, to have this as the biggest opening ever is a pretty extraordinary thing,ö said Dave Hollis, executive vice president of distribution at Walt Disney Studios, adding that the box office draw of ôFrozenö exceeded studio expectations.
ôWe came into the weekend feeling like anything that would exceed the result from ĹTangledĺ from a couple years back would be great,ö Hollis added. ôTangledö opened with $68.7 million in 2010. ôWe thought something in the $70-$80 million range is what might be possible with ĹFrozen.ĺ We are hoping it lends itself to a big, long payoff after this great start.ö
The films topped records for the highest domestic box office grosses for the three-day and five-day holiday weekend. ôCatching Fireö blazed the trail to No. 1 and ôFrozenö slid in at No. 2.
ôCatching Fireö earned the biggest-ever gross for a film from Wednesday to Sunday over the Thanksgiving holiday. It brought in $110.2 million, raising its domestic total to $297 million. ôFrozenö scored $93 million over the five days, topping Disneyĺs previous five-day champ, ôToy Story 2,ö which earned $80.1 million in 1999.
ôAll of these records being broken, itĺs like a true snowball effect,ö said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for box-office tracker Rentrak. ôOverall, this is the biggest Thanksgiving weekend for the industry ever. Last year was the Thanksgiving record holder, but this one-two punch with ĹCatching Fireĺ and ĹFrozenĺ was just amazing.ö
Internationally, ôCatching Fireö continued to bring the heat, earning $276 million through Sunday. Opening No. 1 in France, Italy and Belgium, the sequel exceeded the opening weekend of ôThe Hunger Gamesö in all three markets. Overall, the sequel has grossed $573 million worldwide.
After dominating the box office during its first two weeks in theaters, Disneyĺs ôThor: The Dark Worldö dropped to No. 2 last weekend and was knocked down one more spot to No. 3 this weekend, earning $11.1 million. Globally, it continues to keep Disney on the map with a total of $591.1 million.
Maintaining a healthy position at the box office, Universalĺs romantic comedy ôThe Best Man Holidayö held the fourth slot with $8.5 million, while thriller ôHomefront,ö starring Jason Statham and James Franco, opened in the No. 5 slot with $7 million.
Also debuting over the holiday, Fox Searchlightĺs ôBlack Nativityö landed in the top 10 with $3.9 million, while the Weinstein Co.ĺs ôMandela: Long Walk to Freedom,ö starring Idris Elba, saw a solid launch, earning $100,306 despite playing in just four theaters.
Opening with $850,000, Spike Leeĺs ôOldboyö failed to make an impressive impact at the box office.

Very difficult programs in the sciences.
Health & Safety:
The University Park campus is probably one of the safest places on the planet. It is safe to walk alone at almost any time of day, although it's definitely safer to travel with a friend or group in the middle of the night. The biggest safety concern is drunk students traveling at night on weekends. They are the perpetrators of the majority of crimes on campus.
Greek Life:
They think they're above everyone else.
Greek Life:
Greek life is huge at Penn State, although there are many students who are not involved in fraternities or sororities. There are dozens of Greek organizations, many of which have off-campus houses, and some of which live on campus. I'm not involved with a fraternity, but from what I've heard, unless you're an older member of a fraternity, the living options in houses aren't exactly desirable.
Local Area:
State College is a fairly large town in a valley surrounded by mountains. There are a few small towns in the immediate area around State College, but the closest decent-sized town is over ten miles away. While State College may be isolated, the local population of 75,000 (of which over 40,000 are students), would make you forget that you're in the middle of the mountains entirely if didn't get to watch the sun rise and set over them every day.
Overall Experience:
Professors seem pretty great with getting their information across to the students but don't typically care about grades.
Penn State competes at the Division I level in almost all of its sports, and many of its teams are excellent. There is huge support for varsity sports on campus, and school spirit is always incredibly strong.
Penn State has great programs for almost all of the degrees it offers, and many of its programs are among the best of their kind. There are many different professors to choose from, so it's pretty easy to find a professor that you'll enjoy learning from. The workload is average as far as higher education goes.
With being a state school, there is limited financial aid from the university to students in general. There is more financial aid form individual colleges and departments though. It seems that the financial aid process at Penn State is no more difficult than at other schools, although it isn't always the smoothest process. In the end it does get you what you need though.
Campus Food:
From what I've heard from friends at other schools, Penn State's dining commons are above average. In many cases, the dining commons can compete with restaurants in terms of quality and selection.
Off-Campus Dining:
There are tons of options for off-campus dining in State College. The dining options are as diverse as the student population at the university and a large percentage of them are tailored to students in terms of price, convenience, and hours.
Guys & Girls:
At Penn State there's a pretty typical mix of guys and girls, probably like you would find at most American colleges or universities.
Off-Campus Housing:
I've always lived on campus, so I'm not the best authority.
Party Scene:
If you're interested in parties, Penn State is a great option for you. There are lots of events to choose from every weekend, so you can find a party that fits you, guaranteed.
So many people from different areas but also I can walk down any sidewalk and see someone I know or went to high school with. Lots of people to meet and get to know, it's very easy to have a social life
Off-Campus Dining:
Lots of diversity and options. The same thing doesn't have to be chosen every night from the dining hall, go out and explore what's around
Campus Food:
it's great for convenience but there are so many other affordable and amazing food places on and off campus. Go out and explore
Beaver Stadium has one of the best student sections in the country. If you don't partake you miss out big time
I honestly think it's just as average as the rest and just a school people prefer to attend.
Local Area:
gorgeous, well taken care of, so much pride comes with Happy Valley's appearance and locality
There is a lot of diversity on campus, there are people coming from Europe and well as Asia. People are very accepting of each other at Penn State, you could be coming from a economic background where you are very well off or have barely enough to get by and people will treat you the same. I am of asian background and I find that everyone is really polite and not discriminating towards me.
Smoking or drinking in the dorm (especially underage) is very strict. I have know a lot of people who got into a lot of trouble for doing so. There are students who can be very loud at 3 am on a school night where there are rules about keep the noise low after 12 pm. Other than that, the school doesn't have much of a problem with students. Visitations in the dorm are very lenient as long as your roommate(s) agree to you having someone stay over.
Overall Experience:
There are many courses offered especially for your general education requirements. For example, to complet your arts credits you can be taking visual arts, art history or music. Like any school you are going to have professors who prepare you for the final exams better than others, so far all my professors have been really great. Even though they are teaching a lecture with 400 students, they have office hours where you can get extra help and this can be the difference between an A and a B on your grade. Classes sizes also vary, as you take more courses in your major the class size becomes smaller.
Overall Experience:
Penn state has one of the largest alumni network in the world. There are tons of opportunities for internships for students where companies come to the school to interview students. Also, there are at least 2 job fairs each academic year where students who are about to graduate can go and find companies they are interested in working for after graduation.
Guys & Girls:
There is wide range of people on our campus, it is a very diverse place. Almost everyone is nice and helpful.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Despite common reservations about the location and climate, most Penn State students are fiercely loyal to their alma mater. Penn State boasts one of the largest alumni populations in the United States; graduates are proud of their degrees, and employers recognize the University's name immediately. Although the campus is located in a very rural area, school is technologically up-to-date and on the cutting-edge of current research.
Aside from academics, PSU is also known for its social scene, especially in relation to sports and parties. Nittany Lion football—home of the 2008 Big Ten Champions—is a national draw and a point of pride for both the University and the town of State College. For anyone interested in playing or watching varsity sports, PSU is a top choice. Penn State has also been ranked highly by many polls and "party school" surveys as one of the top party schools in the nation. While it certainly isn't the wildest town, these rankings are definitely accurate. The small-town setting and large-school atmosphere makes for little else in the way of entertainment, so it can be hard to avoid encountering the party scene during your time as a student. Still, the mix of work and leisure seems to work well for most of the student body, and academic standards at Penn State remain relatively high. It's easy to spend four years at Penn State as an ever-serious student, focused completely on whatever you choose to study. With so many opportunities to relax nearby, balance and moderation are some of the best skills to learn from your four years in college.

AbstractSecond Generation High Temperature Superconductor (2G) wire is providing new capabilities critical for various military applications. The enhanced flux pinning at 65K, the lower limit for liquid nitrogen cooling, is useful for achieving useful power densities at magnetic fields of 1-3 T. For the use of 2G wires for AC applications substantial modifications are required to the present 2G wire architecture. This proposal aims at the development of a novel 2G wire architecture. The main advantages are low ac losses and a simplification of magnet design and construction. Demonstration of the concept will include a practical approach to stabilization of the conductor.

Skyrim Creation Kit "on track for release" February 7
Bethesda's Pete Hines has used the magic of Twitter to let folks know the Skyrim Creation Kit is on track to be released Tuesday, February 7. What's more, the developers have a "special surprise" in store with the release. Here's the tweet: "For our Skyrim PC fans, the Creation Kit is on track for release on Tuesday. And, we also have a special surprise with it." Nary a hint was given as to what the surprise entails, but it won't be much longer now.

I think most people that go to Lightfoot Restaurant in Lessburg, VA will tell you they had amazing food, wonderful service all packaged together within its unique and historical atmosphere. Not only will I agree, but I will let you know that they can also organize one heck of an event. My husband and I had our wedding at Lightfoot in October of 2011 and I can't imagine having a more perfect wedding anywhere else.
Lightfoot offers numerous different event packages for a variety of party sizes and budgets. We had just under 100 guests that were easily accommodated in their large event room upstairs, which features a piano lounge and separate bar space from the dining room--perfect for cocktail hour. Lightfoot allows you to contract with your own DJ--even with about 100 guests there was still room for a dance floor and space for the DJ's materials.
I loved Lightfoot because it had the unique charm I wanted in a wedding venue (it's a historic building in downtown Leesburg--it is a restored bank) without all the hassle of dealing with multiple vendors. My husband and I are foodies at heart, so having a wide variety of delicious food was #1 on our priority list, and boy can they deliver in that territory. We had a wide range of appetizers (including their famous fried green tomatoes, which were a huge hit with all the guests) and chose to do a buffet style dinner which was perfect. All the food was hot and cooked to perfection. The waitstaff at dinner were very helpful and so kind to us and to all of our guests.
The manager at Lightfoot went above and beyond with the set-up for our wedding--even allowing us to deliver decorations and centerpieces the night before and offering to put them out for us so we didn't have to make a second trip back the day of (which wasn't necessarily part of the package--she just did it because she was nice). The room was absolutely beautiful!
Lightfoot also owns a bakery right next door who designed our beautiful wedding cake to our specifications (we wanted a big, brown chocolate cake--it was beautiful, nontraditional and most importantly delicious).
We have been married almost 2 years now and I can't wait to return to Lightfoot again this year for our anniversary. The food it out of this world and we know we are being taken care of by a wonderful staff in a beautiful setting. Keep Lightfoot in mind for lunch or dinner (you may want to make reservations) and seriously considerate it for a unique event venue.

The answer: more competition leads to more technology adoption. This is the finding from a study by Karaca-Mandic et al. (2016). They use data from 100% Medicare claim in 2003 and 2004 as well as linked information on hospitals [American Hospital Association (AHA) Annual Survey] and physicians [American Medical Association (AMA) Masterfile].

Is value-based purchasing working for hospitals?
The Incidental Economist is one of my favorite blogs to read. This week's post on a recent BMJ article on the failure of P4P did not disappoint. The article (Figueroa et al. 2016) looks at 4267 acute care hospitals in the United States that participated in Medicare's Hospital Value Based Purchasing (HVBP) system. During my time […]Read the rest of this entry »
"Adjustments" drive variation in Medicare hospital reimbursement rates
In my previous work, I have examined regional variation in Medicare and Medicaid costs through reports to the Institute of Medicine and publications in peer-reviewed journals. We found significant variation in health care costs across regions, that high-cost regions tended to remain high cost over time, but that a region that is high-cost for treating one medical condition […]Read the rest of this entry »
Impact of Medicare Advantage on Hospital Admissions
Do patients who enroll in Medicare Advantage go to the hospital less frequently? The answer is yes. However, this fact may not be causal. Patients who enroll in Medicare Advantage are generally younger and healthier than patients who enroll in Medicare's fee-for-service (FFS) program. A paper by Duggan, Gruber and Vabson (2016) uses a novel […]Read the rest of this entry »
Are home births as safe as hospital births?
The popularity of home births has been rising in recent years. One question is whether they are as safe as in-hospital births. A new study in NEJM found that most home births are safe, but hospital births are safer. As the N.Y. Times reports: The study analyzed nearly 80,000 pregnancies in Oregon, and found that […]Read the rest of this entry »
2016 ASSA: How does competitions among insurers affect premiums
Typically, most economists believe that increased competition decreases prices. However, is that the case for competition among health insurers? On the one hand, competition among health insurers could decrease prices if consumers choose plans based on premiums. Competition may increase insurer's incentive to negotiate with providers and may force insurers to make lower margins or lower […]Read the rest of this entry »

A recent trend where urgent care centers are being converted to free-standing emergency rooms has hit the Midwest.

The president of the American College of Emergency Physicians, Michael Gerardi, was recently interviewed about his plans for the organization. One of his key initiatives will be to stop the practice of housing psychiatric patients in the ER. According to Dr. Gerardi: It is inhumane that a lot of patients, especially adolescent patients, sometimes live in an […]Read the rest of this entry »
Did Hospital VBP work?
How can Medicare improve quality and reduce cost? One idea is to introduce value-based purchasing (VBP). For instance, Medicare's hospital value-based purchasing (HVBP) system increases payment rates for hospitals that demonstrate high quality. A paper by Ryan et al. (2014) explains the program in more detail. Under HVBP, acute care hospitals—those paid under Medicare's Inpatient […]Read the rest of this entry »
Do EHRs increase "upcoding"?
Upcoding occurs when physician or hospitals artificially increase the patient's severity of illness. For instance, a hospital may record additional comorbidities. In Medicare's inpatient prospective payment systems (IPPS), Medicare reimburses hospitals more for caring for patients who are sicker. Some health policy experts worry that electronic health records (EHRs) will decrease the cost of documenting […]Read the rest of this entry »

A drenching rain storm was pummeling Western Washington for a second-straight day, not only forcing some extra creativity for keeping dry but causing some flooding issues as well.
A Flood Warning remains in effect for the very-flood-prone Skokomish River, with minor flooding expected through Thursday afternoon. Elsewhere, a Flood Watch remains in effect for rivers in King, Pierce, Snohomish, Skagit and Whatcom County meaning flooding is possible. Any flooding that occurs would be minor.
The National Weather Service is also telling all counties of Western Washington that minor small stream and urban flooding along roadways.
All the rain made certainly made it a trick for commuters to get into the city Wednesday morning. A semi-truck flipped over on I-405 in Kirkland. Not far from that wreck, a car that slid into a barrier.
On the Valley Freeway, several cars tangled up to create miles of backups coming in from the South End. Once the sun came up, another wreck on SR-520 had just one lane of cars and buses squeaking by. If that wasn't wild enough, on northbound I-5 in Tukwila, police created a pretty big distraction while guarding a broken down prison bus for much of the morning commute.
Off the roads, water piled up in yards. A drainage pond overflowed at a Mukilteo apartment complex Wednesday and flooded three or four units. Residents awoke to find 3 feet of water inside. Maintenance crews did have a pump in place to drain water from the pond, but it was discovered a wire had been cut and the pump was not operational.
Rainfall totals have been impressive, especially considering how dry it was just a few short weeks ago. Up to 3 inches of rain fell on the coast and west slopes of the Cascades while the interior lowlands of Western Washington got 1 to 2 inches. The mountains could get another 1 to 2 inches of rain Wednesday while the lowlands get one-half to more than another inch, the Weather Service said.
More than 3 inches of rain have fallen this week in Seattle. A record 1.36 inches fell Tuesday at Sea-Tac Airport, breaking the old mark for the date of 0.87 set in 1997. Wednesday's record was 1.04" and was likely safe, but Seattle was set to add at least another half inch to the monthly rain total.
In fact, as of mid-morning Wednesday, Seattle was perched at the 8th wettest October on record at Sea-Tac, with enough rain left in the forecast to perhaps push the month into 5th place by the end of the day. And that's after going the first 11 days of the month with no rain.
Rain will gradually taper off this evening and overnight leaving us with just scattered showers for Thursday and perhaps a dry Friday. But more rain is in store for the weekend.

Re: BMW Financial Services
I applied for a BMW car loan and the guy told me as long as I pay off all my C/O accounts and or collections they would have an easy chance of approving me. I had a Credit score of about 530 he told me 600+ with no outstanding debts owed ( c/o or opencollections) he said would give you good apr. I paid off my collections and C/O and went to a honda dealer instead with a credit score of 540 and I got approved for a brand new 2012 civic SI with all the goodies and an apr of 4.9%. make sure you have a low uti. youll have no problem my next car after I pay this one off next year will be a BMW. Happy car buying took me a good month to decide what i want and for what i want to pay. Other dealers tried to tell me 17% is the lowest they can go but dont believe their BS. they can go lower. trust me i walked a couple times then got many many phone calls a day later.

Romeo and Juliet (Teatro alla Scala) based on 0 ratings. 1 reviews.
I'm no ballet expert but I love the Prokofiev score and for me, the definitive choreography is Kenneth McMillan's. This La Scala production features the radiant Alessandra Ferri and Angel Corella, a passionate, exuberant Romeo. There are a few moments of uncertainty on Corella's part but he quickly recovers and his delight in love and in dancing are reflected in his movements and expression (although the smiles are so frequent, one would almost think they were permanently attached.)He's undoubtedly one of the handsomest Romeos dancing today--and one of the most technically arresting dancers. Ferri is exquisite; at once an adorably coltish adolescent and elegantly heartbreaking. So what's wrong with this picture? Simply put, the supporting cast and La Scala's corps don't match the leads. The large ensembles are fuzzy and lack sharpness and characterization. Paris, Mercutio and Benvolia are bland; only Tybalt has an air of menace about him. Much of the mime comes off as tepid gestures and posturing. The Brits (and ABT) are the champs with this ballet and the 1984 VHS with Ferri and Wayne Eagling is a thoroughly satisfying production in every respect. Although Corella is drop dead gorgeous,young and brash, Eagling's internalized Romeo has more depth. Ferri is simply remarkable--in the sixteen years since this Covent Garden production, she has lost none of her suppleness, strength or expression. Her elasticity in the tomb scene is breathtaking. The camera work in this dvd is less interesting than in the vhs. Some of the large ensemble scenes look as though the camera was in the ceiling; you have to squint to make out what's going on. Sound quality is good.

How to Grow Out Your Hair by Summer
Waiting for your hair grow makes that whole watching-paint-dry thing seem like a heart-stopping action-adventure. Yes, it takes forever, and yes, you'll be tempted to give up and go back to your lob. But if your goal is long hair by summer, there are a few things you can do to speed up the process—and fight the signs of damage that made you chop it all off in the first place.
Know where you're starting
Hair usually grows anywhere from a quarter inch to half inch per month, says New York City dermatologist Francesca Fusco. The healthier it is (and you are), the faster it grows, Fusco adds, but even if you're a paradigm of wellness, hair has its limits. "The length a hair will grow is hereditary," says dermatologist Rhoda S. Narins. On average, women's hair tends to max out at a foot past the nape of the neck, around the middle of the back.

Campus security offers escorts to students who don't want to walk alone, and access to buildings on campus is limited to students and employees. Friends University is located in a part of Wichita that is neither the safest or most dangerous to live in, though as a whole, Wichita has a far higher crime rate than the average city. There are a fair amount of sex offenders that live nearby the Friends campus, including one who even goes to school there.

DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Tigers and Houston Astros matched two-run ninth-inning comebacks Saturday night. Luckily for the Tigers, they had the last one.
Novak Djokovic and Japan's Kei Nishikori both powered through in straight sets at the ATP Toronto Masters to set up a repeat of a high-profile spring final. Top seed Djokovic dismissed Gael Monfils 6-3, 6-2 in 74 minutes, winning the 14th of his last 15 matches at Masters 1000 events. Nishikori took advantage of a fade in form from Stan Wawrinka as Asia's top player reached the title match with a 7-6 (8/6), 6-1 win.

Product Description
From Booklist
Scarlett Jane Stein has always turned men's heads. With her long, black hair and perfect breasts, she draws attention wherever she goes. But an adult case of the chicken pox and the words of her envious friend Pam make Scarlett start to wonder if her looks, not her personality, are the only reason men like her. So Scarlett opts for a "makeunder," cutting off her long hair and dressing in dowdy clothing. Determined to truly reinvent herself, Scarlett quits her job at the Danbury Library, changes her name to Lettie Shaw, and gets herself hired at the smaller Bethel Library. She sets her sights on Saul, a handsome investment adviser she meets in a bar who, sure enough, just wants to be friends, that is, until Scarlett defrumps at a Halloween party. But one of the library's patrons--Steve Holt, a window painter--seems to be taking to Lettie just as she is. Baratz-Logsted offers a clever twist on makeover fiction. Kristine Huntley

In A LITTLE CHANGE OF FACE by Lauren Baratz-Logsted, a woman decides to change her image from a beauty to a plain Jane, to see if she can attract a man not for her looks, but for what is inside.
This was my introduction to Baratz-Logsted's books, and I have to say I enjoyed this one. A LITTLE CHANGE OF FACE is not your typical chick lit novel. The premise is a bit off the wall, but I feel that the author made it work. Scarlett Jane Stein has always been known for her good looks and great body, but she's tired of being judged by her appearances. She decides it's time to make a change, so she goes from beautiful to plain Jane, even changing her job and moving to a new town to complete the process.
As Lettie Shaw, she is now a dowdy old maid, and she is no longer attracting the people she did in the past when she was a beauty. With the help of her `default' best friend Pam, Lettie is as plain as can be.
Scarlett (Lettie) finds out what it's like to live like the other half - to have to make an impression on other people without having to use her body. But she also learns a bit about friendship and people through this experiment. This was chick lit with a little bit more, and A LITTLE CHANGE OF FACE may be a book that not everyone will "get", but I felt it was a well-written book, very witty and funny, and will be reading the rest of Lauren's books in the near future.
The first problem with all this is that there's no antithesis. Nobody ever really believes - nobody ever even argues, and I can't think of any reason why they should - that men will *not* stop constantly hitting on Scarlett, and buying her drinks in bars and asking her out under no provocation, if she cuts her hair very short, wears ugly glasses, and dons long, baggy dresses to hide her gorgeous figure. From the beginning, the novel conflates this sort of empty and surface-oriented attention with the (generally) deeper regard signified by friendship and real romantic interest. Even Scarlett seems to have no opinon at all on the subject; she seems barely notice the attention she receives, and she has no boyfriend or close male friend at the start of the novel to give another perspective.
So Scarlett goes through a sort of reverse physical blossoming. In the process she changes her name to Lettie, sabotages her career by moving to a lower-level position in a different town, and gives up her condominium to rent a less showy home. She decides to revise not only her appearance but her entire personality, remaking herself as the self-effacing, unglamorous person she imagines a dowdy, bespectacled Lettie would be. This explicit assumption that a less beautiful woman would be less outgoing and sociable is a circular proof of the hypothesis that as an average-looking woman Scarlett will receive less notice. She goes through the usual contortions of trying to attract the most gorgeous and shallow of the men she meets and - in a bit of poetic justice apparently unnoticed by its recipient - manages to develop, for the first time, a personality not based on long hair and big breasts.
Whatever "A Little Change of Face" is supposed to be, it fails. Its agenda - which is both overworked and unpleasant - hampers its enjoyability as fluff. But its desire to be fluff (in accordance with its Red Dress Ink label) hinders its ability to be interesting in any other way. This is really too bad, as the author is obviously talented. She manages to turn a shell of a plot and a few barely-there characters into a marginally pleasant, absorbing three-hundred page book. And she has certainly tapped into some interesting questions of style versus substance, how much of who we are is influenced by how we look, and the importance of physicality to self-concept and our interactions with friends, coworkers, and lovers. Few novels manage to wrestle successfully with this issue, though, and most of them are much more complex than this immature anti-Cinderella tale.
I get what the author tries to do with this book. I can appreciate how different this is from cookie-cutter chick-lits out there. Most of the characters aren't very likable (especially Pam. What a petty, jealous person! And how on earth did Scarlett not see through her?), including the heroine, whom I had a hard time identifying with for most of the novel. The only thing she and I have in common is that we love books... and that we're both vertically challenged (I, too, am only five feet tall)... and we're brown-eyed brunettes... and the breasts thing rings a bell. Okay, okay, so we do have a few things in common, but the similarities end there. I appreciate her personality flaws and the fact that she cannot see what is so patently obvious. We've all been there at some point in our lives. The thing is that I liked the premise, appreciated the message, but disliked the execution. I couldn't get into this novel, which is a shame, for Lauren Baratz-Logsted is a talented writer. I LOVED her novel Vertigo and I really wanted to love this one too. Alas, I didn't. One of the chapters starts out with something along the lines of, "I bet you're dying to know about my breasts." Uh, no! Have lunch with one of your friends and have her talk to you about her breasts and see how fun that is. Only men would find the aforementioned topic interesting. Anyway, I bought How Nancy Drew Saved My Life and I have my fingers crossed, hoping that book will be better than this one.

This is disapponting. I hope this is just him being stubborn and lying even though he knows he's not getting Matthysse. Lundy is a joke I don't wanna watch him fight Matthysse.

i think lundy should have stayed at 135 and tried to bounce back from that beltran loss. i also would have liked to seen matthysse get a solid LWW instead of a guy coming up in weight and coming off a loss. it is what it is, hopefully it's a fun fight while it lasts.
