"How did you get into Kpop!?"
I get asked this question a lot, hihi, seriously so many times. It doesn't only come from fellow kpoppers on youtube, but pretty much in my everyday life people want to know why I have kpop bands pictures up in my work station, or why half of the music on my ipod is in korean. People also wonder why I choose to watch Korean TV shows over American TV shows. To be honest its not that I don't like American Music or American TV but I do appreciate International music and TV as well. I don't only listen to Kpop, I listen to many artists around the world, I just happen to really really really like Korean Entertainment. How did it all start? I blame Naruto, haha...it sounds weird but that is where it all started!
I have always loved international music. In fact I grew up watching and listening to French Musicals. My favorites being "Le Roi Soleil", "Notre Dame de Paris", and "Roméo et Juliette" to name a few. If you have never listened to "Je fais de toi mon essentiel" you must go and do that now!!!!
"Je Fais de Toi Mon Essentiel" link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17CFKRwNd-0
Haha in the meantime fell head over heels for this dude
It didn't seem strange that my favorite singer was a guy from the other side of the world, he was still my favorite. My friends also loved listening to french musicals with me and even though my best friend didn't understand a word of French she would still sing along with me!(haha I would laugh at what she was singing, but it was still cool! I'm sure Koreans would laugh at my singing along with Kpop XD)
I didn't mind explaining what the songs meant or explaining simple cultural things that were different from music in the US. All in all we just loved Christophe Mae and his awesome music. While I shared French Musicals with her, my best friend also wanted to share Mangas with me...... I thought it was so weird that she loved Manga and I would always kind of mock her.....(in retrospect... I'm sorry Chels!!!)
It wasn't till I was in Cali with my Family at Disneyland, after a day of stress and sibling fighting I ended up in the bookstore in Downtown Disney. (Bookstores are my refuge!) Nothing really looked interesting till I came across the manga section and the story of a little ninja named Naruto!
I read the first book, and then the second while waiting for my family...and then bought several more to read whenever we had some down time. Even though I grew up watching Pokemon and Sakura Card Captors, Naruto was my first foray into Asian Culture. ....now 60+books later, all Naruto + Naruto Shippuden dvd seasons, movies, and many Naruto figurines later I have quite the collection! haha all in all Naruto basically opened up the door to my love of Manga. Soon after I read lots and lots of series, my favorites of course, are Naruto and Rurouni Kenshin. My two best friends and I would look up new series, exchange series and read lots of things online. One day one of my friends discovered some drawings that really made an impression on her.
We looked all over to find out what the drawings came from, but since there was no writing on them, it took us quite a while. We discovered that it was the Manhwa "Goong" hihi our first introduction to something Korean and not Japanese. We also discovered that Goong was being made into a Korean Drama. (This is the beginning of our weekly kdrama girls night :) haha we still get together almost once a week and watch an episode or two of the latest drama )
This was back in late 2006 early 2007 :) I remember reading the manga online and being so excited for the Drama. I also remember hearing that the main actress was Yoon Eun Hye, and a lot of people were unhappy about it. Why? Because she was an "idol singer" and not an actress. Kind of funny to think about now, since she is now known as a great actress! Anyways, I had never heard of Kpop or even about Korean singers. While watching the drama I became even more curious to see what kind of singer she was or even what kind of music they had in South Korea. I was used to watching my French MV's on Youtube, and figured why not look for Korean music there... and Voila Quoi, the first kpop music video I ever saw.....BABY V.O.X. "By Chance"

I thought it was kind of strange and it didn't really interest me....but in the suggested videos on the side bar was another video
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVetyA1KfG0
And this hottie stole my heart the minute he started singing!
To this day he is still my absolute favorite singer!!!! The one I listen to when I'm sad, happy, mad or stressed! Haha and even though I'm not quite sure what is going on right now with him... à la too much swag, hair, strange fashion sense, and tattoos....I still LOVE him! hihi and I still see him as the cutie I've watched all these years.
The sweet adorkable Dong Youngbae is still there deep down inside under all that swag XD
A long the way I have ran into many other groups that have really made a mark on me but the things in Kpop that have really drawn me in besides the music and vocals are the
Synchronized dances
cool MVs
the eyecandy
the kpop derps
Awesome fandoms
All those funny gifs of my favorite bands
Korean Variety
In short I just love Kpop!
In closing a lot of people ask me how can I like music that I don't understand. Well you don't necessarily have to understand what someone is saying to hear the emotion in someone's voice or understand the tone of the music. Music is an international language :) In fact a good friend of mine moved to the US from Taiwan when she was in 2nd grade. She only spoke Chinese and we only spoke English. She had no way to communicate to us, but she would play her violin to tell us if she was happy or sad. It was from this experience that I learned that even though we speak different languages, music can be a bridge between two cultures! Just as Jongdae :)
Well What is your story? How did you get into Kpop!
haha I was always wondering how you got into kpop~
I guess being an art student I ran across SHINee's Lucifer online shortly after it came out and I was mind blown. Something had never affected me so strongly and deeply and I became absolutely obsessed with it and these strange asian boys??
and eventually I bought the lucifer album (with much confusion about it upon arrival haha) and the rest is history~
aimissi.tumblr.com ♥(ノ´∀`)
Haha very true, Kpop music videos are strangely enchanting! Especially Shinee's Lucifer! I had heard of Shinee before but they didn't really interest me until Lucifer!
Ooh and getting your first Kpop album is always exciting! haha and confusing....like why does this not look like american cds.....is the seller I just bought this from legit!? haha and then there is this sudden downfall when all of your extra spending cash goes to your boys! YG is draining me....haha with all the BB releases this year and they haven't even had a group album release!
I actually only got into kpop two years ago, at the end of 2011. But ever since then I've been so immersed into it; I spend every single day watching kpop videos, Korean variety shows, and more. I seriously can't live without it.
I've always loved manga ever since I was little, because my older brother used to read Naruto manga. & Looking through the manga they had at the library, I was introduced to shoujo/romance manga. & I guess you can say the girly side of me finally came out haha. (I've always played video games, and never Barbies or anything like that. I blame my older brother. xD) I used to read so much manga, it was crazy. I probably read over 50 mangas at the same time, because they updated too slow. xD I also loved manhwas, especially by Hwang Mi Ri. :) But anyway, my first Korean drama experience was when I read the manga Boys Over Flowers. & Since I loved it so much I just had to watch the anime version, then I watched the drama version. I was obsessed! But I knew nothing of kpop or Korean culture then. I loved Big Bang's Haru Haru and Taeyang's Wedding Dress though, which were especially popular amongst my classmates.
It was in 2011 when I met a friend online. And she first introduced me to SNSD. I found these kpop videos a bit weird at first, so many girls dancing in sync, ahhhh. I also had a lot of trouble getting their names down. But don't worry, I'm an expert at kpop groups' names now haha. It was when I watched the SNSD Running Man episode that I fell in love and decided to watch every single episode of it. Yes, every SINGLE EPISODE. xD (I even got my brother who refuses to watch any kpop videos to watch it, and he fell in love too. Haha, now he has watched every episode as well. This craziness must run in the family.) After watching Running Man, I watched the WGM YongSeo and KhunToria series. That was how I found out about 2PM, and all those boy groups. & To just cut the story short, I am now addicted to boy groups and am currently a huge EXO stan. :)
Ahhh that took a while, I swear I can write a book with all of my experiences.
I was in art club, and I noticed my friend, Chrissy, listening to something on her phone. I asked what she was listening to, and she handed me an ear bud. It was SS501's Love Like This, and I found it really catchy.
I know it was in a language I couldn't understand, but I'm a open-minded person who likes try new things! I began to look up more Kpop songs, and I'm now a fangirl for life~
LOVE K-POP~!!^o^
I got into kpop through this friend I had who was actually from Korea! :D It was around the beginning of 2010. He showed f(x)'s Chu,SHINee's Ring Ding Dong, and Girl's Generation's Oh!. Oh! and Chu are my favorite songs from those two groups even til today! After that I kept discovering new groups and songs on youtube and my fascination for them grew. :D Even though I didn't understand what they were saying, I was willing to have an open mind and to give it a chance. My instant favorites were SHINee, Bigbang, and 2NE1!!! I'm so glad my friend showed me the wonderful world of kpop! :) Whether they speak the language or not, music is a language that speaks to everyone because it speaks to their emotions. Kpop stars are soo funny and honest. Its nice to see when they show much they care for their international fans because we sometimes feel like we may be forgotten because we're not from Korea but we enjoy the music just as much as Korean natives might. The male groups are sooo attractive which is always a bonus lol. :)
Love, Peace, Kpop <3
For me it was somehow coming across Big Bangs "Haru Haru" video the song was really good and the video was really good but sad then i saw SHINee's "Lucifer" on the popular page this was all in 2010 then i listened to some SNSD, 2ne1, Secret, and F(x) also some Big Bang and SHINee but i didn't get too much into the Kpop fandoms until later i listened to it but it didn't go much further than that until i met my best friend and she was into it and hearing her talk about it i decided to go all the way into the Kpop fandom and boom my life was ruined. Haha (not really ;)
I was just looking around on youtube and I found an interesting looking video on the front page. It turned out to be I am the Best by 2NE1 and at first I was a little weirded out. The clothes, the sets and the music itself seemed kinda odd to me. I left it and didn't think anything of it. Just another one of those 'odd' videos on youtube...
Over the next few weeks I found myself going back to that video and began to love it. So I started looking at other videos, which is when I found Lollipop and first saw Big Bang. I also remember watching Knockout pretty early too and it took me ages to work out that it was in fact the same people in that Lollipop MV!!
After that I fell in love with it and found myself watching everything I could find about the two groups. I watched Big Bangs parodies and that is what got me into kdrama!
I got into K-pop in kind of a strange way. I'm into video games (huge gamer here) and through that I got interested in competitive video games otherwise known as E-sports. Especially StarCraft, because I played it a lot when I was younger and still do! Pro players will do live streams to practice, entertain fans, and get ad revenue. I was watching a pro named HuK streaming while he was in Korea and he was playing K-pop in the background. The first two songs I remember hearing were Beast's Breath and 2PM's 10 Out of 10. I loved it! From there on I was hooked! Later on my love of K-pop got me into K-drama with Rooftop Prince, and now I'm branching out into other Asian dramas and music!
How i got into kpop huh... Well before kpop i was really into anime so i watched a lot. But after a while I found that there are a lot of Japanese Live Action dramas so i decided to give them a try. I watched Hana Yori Dango and fell in love with it. Then i saw that there is a korean version so i also watched. The name of it was Boys Before Flowers:
And there were quite a lot of cool songs there. And after I heard Kim Hyun Joong song - Because I am stupid... bang fell into kpop world:
Kim Hyun Joong - Because I am stupid
Then I went searching for more of his songs and I found that he is part of a boy band group SS501. And that's how i watched my first kpop video
SS501 - A song calling for you
So i started searching for more and more of their songs and i discovered a lot of other groups like Big Bang, Shinee, Super Junior etc.
My friend used to listen to a lot of JPOP and she would always have me listen to Japanese songs and watch Japanese videos. I really liked it! But she then suddenly jumped on to KPOP and showed me Big Bang. This was a few years ago, and i didnt really get into them. But one day i was like 'hmmm..... im gonna give this a try' and i started listening to Big Bang and i love it so much!! From then on KPOP has been everything to me!
Hahaha im more into KPOP than my friend that introduced me to it xD But it is such an awesome genre of music and im forever greatful for her for showing it to me <3
This post was updated on .
so basically my story is identical to lindsay's story. the same friend who got her into manga got me into manga (so chels when you read this..know we blame you! lol jk) anyway I had a bit more manga before hand than lindsay (lindsay likes the teenage boy action mangas and I was more into the shoujo or girly mangas) and then we got into the dramas and I went to Peru (in 2009-2010) and was shocked when I found out their public tv channels show kdramas and then found out they sell kdrama at the market..so as I was stocking up on those before I went home and I found cds of the music from the dramas and found other dvds of what I thought was videos of the songs from the dramas...it ended up music videos and clips from concerts of tons of kpop bands, like Big Bang, TVXQ, SNSD, Shinee....and yeah especially once I listened to Big Bang it basically has been like this:
so I think it was the combo of having been exposed to manga (and some anime/jpop...again thanks to chels) and french music from lindsay that it was just natural like so yeah thats my story
VIP 4 Life!!!
follow me on tumblr!
My close friend was a KPOPPER and she loved SUJU and BigBang. She made me listen to their songs and i did like BigBang music. The melody was good and their voices was so smooth and amazing.
However i didn't really download their songs, i just listened to it when she was around.
But then i found out about 2PM.
I loved watching dramas and i was bored one day and tried of all the crying and sadness from dramas. So i decided to watch a variety show that i came across online. It was 2pm idol army and i really FELL in love with them. They were SO funny and i fell for their charms!
I became an obsessed HOTTEST and ONLY followed them and listened to their songs.
But then . . .the JAY PARK thing happen =[
I was super upset because he was my Bias in 2PM. I still supported them afterwards but i just somehow slowly drifted away from kpop. . .
Then around 2012...when artists like BAP.
They made me come back to kpop and i started watching ALL of their shows and listened to ALL of their songs. I realized that ALL kpop groups are so amazing and talented and they work so hard to be where they are at today.
I'm so open to all groups now and I really love all kpop groups and now i'm so obsessed with kpop.
It's just KPOP. =] and i couldn't be happier.
When i was younger, i was always into anime and manga, and still am. I remember watching my very first kdrama back in my senior year 2011 and that was Boys Over Flowers and i loved it, then i began to watch more kdramas! When i finished Playful Kiss i decided to hear Kim Hyun Joong's music because it mentioned that he was a singer and i wanted to hear his singing because i liked his acting and a lot of the songs on the dramas, but i wasn't very impressed so i stopped. Dream High is the reason why i fell into the amazing world of K-pop! It showed that many of the actors were a part of different groups so i picked the first one that is said and it was 2PM! The first song that popped up was Heartbeat and it was amazing!! The beastly idols really sold k-pop well haha. So after that i went to the next artist and that was IU, her voice is wonderful ^^ funny thing is, the anime Blue Exorcist had come out around the time that i decided to start listening to 2PM and i loved the ending song to Blue Exorcist, i always sang to it after every episode so my mind was blown when i found out that 2PM sang a song that i was in love with on an awesome anime. Well after that i started listening to different groups too and had so much fun doing it. Now the majority of my music, videos, and shows are either K-pop or Korean related. I am so happy to have learned of this lol
I've been sucked into the magical world of K-pop and i regret nothing ;D
Hmm...well, one day, my sister was watching an episode of Star King, and Super Junior happened to be one of the guests on the show. She saw them, got hooked, told me about them, and the rest is well...history. XD Let me tell you the whole story :)
So, while watching Oprah, we discovered this young Filipino singer named Charice. (She's an amazing singer, if you have not heard her sing...well, go and listen to her sing. She has the voice of an angel. She covers a lot of Whitney songs, and she does them justice ;D). Anyway, the reason she was discovered by Oprah is because someone posted a video of her being on Star King on Youtube. My sister was curious about her discovery and found the video of Charice on Star King. Well, she noticed that Super Junior was on there. They were really funny and cute, so she decided to look them up. Listened to their music, watched all their variety shows. She found out they were from SM entertainment. Looked up other artists from SM. Looked up their music, their variety shows. She told me about them. I started doing the same thing, and before we know it, we both are enjoying Kpop music, Kdrama/movies, and Korean culture. :)
I got into Kpop during Tech Ed class (woodworking):
The assignment was to carve out a word from a block of wood. Any word was fine, as long as it wasn't inappropriate. The guys were all doing basketball player's names. I was going to do Daenerys (GoT anyone?) and my friend was going to do 'Blue'. I said, 'Blue'? Why blue? Because I knew her favourite color was orange. She then went into a detailed explanation of Bigbang, their Still Alive album, her bias (Taeyang) and Kpop in general.
So yeah, I have Youngbae to thank for getting obsessed with the H-Wave!
One may feel unsatisfied with only 10 members on stage. However, please remember that Super Junior is forever one.
-Super Junior, Eunhyuk
All of these stories are super interesting! So cool how different things brought us together here.
I got started on KPop through my Korean friend who I talked to a lot on instant message. We would exchange funny and interesting videos often... so at first I think it may have started off with a couple music videos and Star King videos... (Jo-Kwon's ssanti dances were notable ones, which let's be honest, were a really shocking introduction to Korean variety shows xD) So I started exploring the music, and I think some of the first albums I listened to included Big Bang, Super Junior, F.T. Island, and CN Blue (who had just debuted in Korea around then!) and then also SNSD, and SS501.
But it wasn't until my friend showed me SHINee's Hello Baby on a whim, that I completely taken by the whole fandom thing. It was a really hard idea to explain... what do you mean there's a show about a bunch of teenagers/mid-20 somethings taking care of a baby? What? So I obviously had to figure out what this was all about... and consequently I fell in love with SHINee and KPop until this day!
Yes, Jonghyun, yes it is.
so i got into kpop by looking through hairstyling videos on youtube :P i was looking for a hairstyle for my brother and this guy on youtube used taeyang - where you at as his background song so i started to look him up and noticed that he's in a group which is bigbang ^.^ so then on i dicovered many different artist such as 2ne1, girls day, suju, b2st, etc so yeahhh .-. kinda boring of how i started listening to kpop i guess lol but im glad i found out about kpop <3
-I got into K-Pop around 2009-ish. SO, the Wonder Girls' Nobody English Version had just came out and I stumbled upon it on YouTube:
-The song eventually caught on and even kids at school liked it. I needed to find some more of this kind of music so, I turned to the internet to search more. I realized the hangul since my family (excluding me) were avid Korean Drama fans and viewers. Then I remembered a song I really liked in a drama so I searched for it "korean drama boys over flowers song" I eventually got led to this song:
And my spree continued from there and still is
I first heard about it when Final Fantasy VII came out.
Youtube was fairly new and I looked up fan made videos and the song in the background of one of their songs was-
Grace by Lee Soo Young.
I don't think I would call it KPOP, but it honestly was my introduction to Kpop.
Then I got into Korean dramas and that came along with their OST. haha
But I stayed more on the Korean Indie artist. Didn't really like anything mainstream.
But the deciding factor that made me really into fandoms and collecting albums was one fateful day when I stumbled upon
EPIK HIGH's love love love. There was no turning back after that. Soon after got into YG and bye! bye! bye! to all my allowances. HAHA
Open to all groups, but am a YG stan. ^_________<

Ice shelf drainage
Large areas of McMurdo Ice Shelf are subject to melting at the surface, whilst continuing to accrete ice from marine waters at the base. During our visit (mid-November to mid-December) melting was limited, but later in the season substantial melting and extensive stream development occurs. An additional feature of the melting process is the exceptional development of cryoconite holes, the bottoms of which carry active ecosystems dominated by bacteria. This set of photos mainly shows well developed, but frozen, streams courses and a variety of other meltwater features, both on the ground and from the air.
Approaching the edge of the ice shelf near Minna Bluff, the gradient gently falls away, allowing meltwater to cut deep channels into the marine ice. This backlit photo shows a frozen channel looking north towards the middle of the ice shelf.
In a similar position, but a channel with multiple freezing layers. Quite often there is a space below the lid, and it is here that water begins to flow, rather than at the surface.
Aerial photograph of stream channels in a relatively dirty part of the ice shelf between Black Island (background) and Brown Peninsula.
Another aerial view showing how closely spaced and incised some of these channels are. In high-summer, they have often been described as being impassable.
Marine ice with well-spaced cryoconite holes, looking towards Mt Discovery. The holes have frozen lids and a hollow space beneath.
When cryoconite holes resume activity in early summer, some begin to coalesce. The surface of the ice shelf then becomes extremely rough, making travel, whether on foot or in a vehicle, slow and arduous.
The bright blue ice of a frozen meltwater stream contrasts strongly with the surrounding slightly greyish marine ice. Black Island in the distance.
An elongate lake of blue ice, surrounded by marine ice, viewed from a pinnacle on an intra-ice shelf moraine. Black Island in the background.
Pond formed in an abandoned melt channel, close to Minna Bluff. Note the marine ice layering dipping gently into the middle of the ice shelf, i.e. to the left.
An area of meltwater-eroded ice shelf, adjacent to an intra-ice shelf moraine extending from Minna Bluff. Within this area are extensive frozen ponds comprising candle ice.

The overhanging rim of the margin of a pond in an area of extensive debris cover, close to Minna Bluff.
Completely frozen pond of blue candle ice, with a prominent blister formed as ice fractures on expansion in a confined space. Mt Discovery in the background.
The saline marine ice begins to melt when the temperature rises above -10°C. When it does so, as here, it is has a somewhat sticky feel, and flows in an almost viscous manner.

Take care of your skin from early stages
The skin is the largest body organ on the human body. When your skin is well taken care of, chances are you will slow down the aging process and prevent any occurrence of skin infections. The sun contains the ultra violet rays which can be harmful to the entire skin should you leave it exposed. There are some measures therefore that need to be taken in order to protect the skin from the harmful sun rays. For instance, it is much safer if you make use of the sunscreen especially if you are swimming or exposed in the open air for a long time. In most cases, the harmful rays normally appear at 10.am or 2p.m. it is therefore necessary to avoid being exposed to the sun during such times as the rays can penetrate the skin and lead to skin cancer problems.
Bad habits lead to skin problems and extra weight
There are some lifestyle habits that can adversely affect the skin and your weight. Slimfy is the natural product that can help you to keep your body in a great shape For instance, smoking is one of the worst habits. According to the recent search, it has been established that smoking normally leads to the formation of wrinkles. As you smoke, the blood vessels are narrowed and hence the flow of blood as well slows down. When this happens for a long time, the entire skin will lose nutrients and enough supply of blood. Smoking is harmful as it also destroys the collagen material hence the skin will end up looking saggy and old. The best way therefore is to do away with smoking as it can adversely affect the texture of the skin and lead to formation of wrinkles. Excessive consumption of alcohol is also a bad habit as it leads to the detoxification of blood. Eventually, the body becomes dehydrated and this makes the skin to appear dry and old. The skin needs to be kept supple all the time and this can only be achieved through consumption of much water and fruits.
Too much exposure to the sun can as well lead to skin problems. The presence of ultra violet rays can lead to many more complications such as skin cancer, discoloration, wrinkles, as well as benign growths. See more information http://www.slimfyweightloss.com/ If you work in a surrounding where you are exposed to the sun, then the best way is to make use of the sunscreen and also ensure you have put on the long sleeved shirts in order to protect the skin from the harmful rays. If possible you need to stay indoors especially at 10.am and 2p.m when the sun is at its peak. Much as many people love the idea of tanning beds, the fact remains the body will be exposed to direct sunlight and therefore the ultra violet rays will easily creep into the skin cells.
There are however some beneficial habits that will make your skin appear supple and healthy:
Drink more water
The skin should be kept moist all the time as this is the only way that a flaky skin will be done away with. When water is taken in plenty, there is continuous detoxification and hence the body will be kept in a healthy condition for a long time and there will be no chance for the formation of wrinkles sine the body will be in a supple state. If possible, it is safer to take some warm showers especially for a period of 5 minutes as it has also been proved to be healthy.
Monitor the skin
The skin is always at your disposal and hence you need to monitor it closely especially if there Is any formation of growths and freckles. If there are some persistent rashes and other irritations that do not fade away, then the best way is to look for a way to get rid of them in good time. Visiting a dermatologist will be of great help as he can give advice on the best way to take care of the skin. Also see feedback from the people who has the same issues and read Slimfy reviews online to understand the benefits of this amazing product.
Good diet
A good skin means the right nutrition. Soft and healthy skin means you have to take foods that are rich in minerals, calcium and vitamins. Most of these nutrients can be supplied through the supplements or simply the appropriate foods.

East Peoria Police Department to crack down on St. Patrick's Day
By Sean Flavin • Mar 5, 2013
The East Peoria Police Department says its stepping up patrols to crack down on drunk drivers and unbuckled motorists this Saint Patrick's Day.
Starting March 14th running through the holiday on March 17th, the department will be working overtime to catch drunk drivers and may conduct roadside safety checks. East Peoria police says they will also ticket motorists not wearing seat belts, particularly at night when drivers use safety belts the least. The department reminds everyone to designate a sober driver for the Saint Patrick's Day festivities and to have the phone numbers for local taxi companies on hand.

Quick quiz: What city is the world leader in highway teardowns? San Francisco? Portland? Madrid?
Wrong, wrong, wrong. It's Seoul, South Korea, which has removed 15 urban highways — and is about to remove another [3]. In this week's Talking Headways episode, Jeff and I talk about what can take the place of a freeway in a city and why it's worth it.
We also debunk the argument, made in Atlantic Cities [4] and the Washington Post [5] last week, that promoting car access will benefit people with low incomes [6]. The whole concept is based on a study that basically said that in the 90s you needed a car to get around the suburbs. Not exactly a persuasive justification for automobile subsidies in today's cities.
We wander down Saffron Avenue and Nutmeg Lane to investigate whether it's true that cities are losing their smell [7] — and whether that's really such a bad thing. Then we accidentally trip into a conversation about pheromones and good-smelling men.
What's your favorite smell in your city? Let us know in the comments.
We're working on getting the podcast available on Stitcher, which apparently is a thing that exists, but for now you can subscribe on iTunes [8] or follow the RSS feed [9].

HIV Education Study
Hi everyone!I am currently doing research on why people don't practice safer sex all the time for my Masters Degree Research, and also for application in HIV and AIDS programs in this and other countries. The hope is to get a better idea of where people learn about STD and HIV avoidance and how they make their decisions. This is an anonymous survey that takes no more than 20 minutes.http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=250052393137We really need to figure out how to get prevention messages across, because the current methods are not working as evidenced by the world wide rise in STDs and HIV. Please forward this survey to any sexually active Adults that you know also! Thank you all for the assistance!-David BrunnerKenya 2000 - 2002__._,_.___
Bear....thats a rather topical issue. I am interested as well, as it relates to some of my research interests...Have you read: Elisa J Sobo (1995): Choosing Unsafe Sex: AIDS-Risk Denial Among Disadvantaged Women UPENN Press. Though slightly dated, you would find it illuminating.Rgds, DK

Elevation Chart For Google Maps
(with comments)
While Pamn's daughter and family/critters were making her way across the country, I had an idea for a new feature for Google Maps: an elevation chart.
It should be very do-able. After you map out a route, click a button and see a chart that shows the elevation changes on the vertical axis, and miles on the horizontal axis. Not surprisingly, my idea is far from original. I found lots of examples of elevation charts.
I made a crude elevation chart for the Moving To Virginia trip.
This chart has two problems. The points on the horizontal axis are fixed-distance. In reality, they aren't (they drove varying number of miles per day). The other problem is that it doesn't show the detail for each line segment.
I suspect that GPS devices can also do it. So why not Google Maps?
- By Volt. Comment posted 15-Sep-2008 @05:45pm:Even better, how about a real time manifold transformation that instead of linear space shows distance as driven or distance as flyable via commerical airline schedules. If you want to get a little advanced you could map time too, based on speed limits, airline schedules and flight times.
This would be useful because the map would be linear in terms of your actual travel experience.
It would be easy to do with Excel charts (graphs).
- By Matt H. Comment posted 15-Sep-2008 @06:20pm:That would indeed be cool, J-walk. There are some mashups that include elevation. I've used the one at http://www.bikely.com to map bike routes and then get an elevation profile.
It should be fairly straightforward to map out a driving route.
Note that it's not going to be perfect though, because it's using a digital representation of the terrain (not the roads). So when you go over a canyon on a bridge, the elevation profile will go down then up again. When you go through a tunnel, it will go up and then down.
This is because it's grabbing an elevation value based on the average of the surrounding terrain rather than the actual roadway.
- By J-Walk. Comment posted 15-Sep-2008 @06:24pm:

Good point. But I'd gladly accept that limitation.
- By Volt. Comment posted 15-Sep-2008 @06:36pm:Why don't you program cell phones to use their GPS chips to record their geo-spatial coordinates at frequent intervals, pedal around your favorite trails and dump the collected information into a mapping program. Maybe capture some pictures or video to make it real. Use extrapolation techniques to stitch the the pictures onto the four dimensional cartesian plane created by the GSP coordinates.
Try using Photosynth, it's free.
- By Minderbinder. Comment posted 15-Sep-2008 @06:50pm:The lowest point in Colorado is higher than the highest point in Pennsylvania. Just had to share that.
- By Phred. Comment posted 15-Sep-2008 @07:26pm:Try http://gmap-pedometer.com.
You use Google maps as normal, record some points on the map, and you get distance and can also get an elevation chart.
- By J-Walk. Comment posted 15-Sep-2008 @07:44pm:Interesting link, Phred. Seems to work only for short distances though.

- By Doug. Comment posted 15-Sep-2008 @09:58pm:If they'd gone over the mountain (8% road grade) in El Paso instead of around they would have reached 1 mile high (5280 feet).
- By Snag. Comment posted 16-Sep-2008 @05:19am:I am reading this with much interest.
Got a Garmin (Colorado) GPS as a gift recently and would like to pre-load it with hiking trails of my choice (SE Australia, and later Dartmoor / Cornwall). The thing records altitude, but it would obviously better to have this information beforehand, for planning (esp. at my age). I also use Google Earth a lot and would like to integrate the two where possible.
The Popsci magazine site has a recent GPS article with a couple of interesting links on this topic.
- By Kashmarek. Comment posted 16-Sep-2008 @05:57am:I have a Garmin (Phoenix) and I don't think I can trust the elevation reading that is recorded. When I leave my driveway, it shows one value for elevation, but upon return to my driveway, the car is higher or lower in elevation, by several feet (more than the 1 meter accuracy).
Also, the maps are wrong. The unit is one year old and the highway I travel was changed 4 years ago to a 4 lane road, yet the unit and computer based representation still only shows the old 2 lane road. I suspect they must pay fees to get updated maps and they aren't about to do that.
- By wally the duck. Comment posted 16-Sep-2008 @05:58am:Somewhere, though not on the internet, there exist plan/profile drawings for probably every foot of the roads they drove. That's what civil engineers who design roads do.
- By Ice Giant 37. Comment posted 16-Sep-2008 @06:23am:It looks like Arkansas was the low point of the journey.

Yori's Jewish NuzeKlips, Feb 29/12
Latest update: December 12th, 2012
Jacoby is right, of course, in refusing to panic over this weird goyeshe stuff, but you know something, it still creeps me out that a bunch of cult heathen would lay their hands – even as an idea which packs no halachic offense at all. Lay off my zeide, go baptize yo mama, is how I react.
I'm an angry, angry man.
Incidentally, while working on this piece, this new item came in from Boston.com:
Mormons baptized slain reporter Daniel Pearl.
Helen Radkey, the excommunicated Mormon who's been combing through the church's archives, said that records indicate Pearl, who was Jewish, was baptized by proxy on June 1, 2011 at a Mormon temple in Twin Falls, Idaho. That's Daniel Pearl the Wall Street Journal reporter who was captured and killed by terrorists in Pakistan.
Now would Jacoby feel like he has to take a shower?
Jews without a sense of proportion should be a category all by itself, or, possibly, a sub category of Jews with no sense of humor. But you know something? You be the judge.
Lawsuit alleges movie 'Drive' is anti-Semitic
Pontiac, Michigan, resident Sarah Deming sued CH Novi, Emagine Novi and FilmDistrict Distribution, after the September, 2011 release of the movie "Drive," starring Ryan Gosling and Albert Brooks. It has so far made more than $35 million, and Sarah says it did it in violation of the Michigan Consumer Protection Act.
She believes it was misrepresented in a movie trailer as a "race action film similar to 'Fast and Furious.'" But instead of "high speed action, race driving or chase driving" she was offended by "predominately Nazi style anti-Semitic propaganda."
Deming alleges "Drive" portrayed only Jewish characters as evil, murderous, dishonest and scheming.
But wait, Michigan readers, here's your chance to make some change on the side: Deming's complaint has been amended and now seeks to be certified as a class-action lawsuit on behalf of anyone who has ever bought a ticket for or purchased a copy of "Drive," because the film advances "content that urges the consumer to murder Jewish civilians through overt, subtle and subliminal content."
I don't know – Albert Brooks an anti-Semite? Seriously? I don't see this doggie catching no rabbit any time soon, but let's keep on watching, and, like I said, if you're in Michigan, check out the DVD, just in case you'll be offended (now that we told you how), and make a buck.
Bill Van Esveld, a member of Human Rights Watch, was forced to defend his statements at a heated forum on Tuesday, after several members of his audience accused him of taking a biased approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The Arizona daily Wildcat (Damn, why didn't we think of that name first?) reports in Rights advocate accused of bias, that Van Esveld, although stressing that both he and his organization are nonpartisan and concerned with prosecuting those who abuse human rights law regardless of their nationality, ethnicity, religion or otherwise, nevertheless clearly took the Arabs' side Operation "Cast Lead," the December, 2008 Israeli military campaign in the Gaza Strip that killed about 1,400 Palestinians.
Ken Miller, a graduate student in the Judaic Studies department , told Van Esveld: "A couple thousand rockets, mortars and missiles were launched from the populated areas in Gaza against the residents in Southern Israel. You're not mentioning that at all in context with why Israel would go in to retaliate against Hamas in Gaza."
As he continued, two pro-Palestine men spoke up. Soon, the three men were shouting over each other and Van Esveld was struggling to regain control of the discussion.
Finally, Van Esveld announced: "We do not try to say, 'Yes, Hamas launched rockets for years, therefore everything Israel did was justified.' We would say, 'Hamas launched rockets for years, Israel is justified in launching a military campaign to stop rocket fire against civilians, but that doesn't justify everything.' You have to fall within the laws of war."
Yada yada yada – the fact that a slew of international investigators gave Israel a fairy clean bill of rightfulness, and the one great detractor (Justice Goldstein) took it back with an apology – all of that did not change the essential stance of Human Rights Watch, which is, essentially, proportionate response. As in: if one robber is holding up a bank, Police must send only one cop to try and stop him.Yori Yanover

There is no information available regarding the mating system of Tucuxis.
Tucuxis breed during late summer and early fall. Gestation ranges from 10 to 11.6 months and results in one calf, which is born during the fall low-water season. Newborn calves range in size from 71 to 106 cm in length. Both sexes become sexually mature by six years of age, at which point males are around 180 cm long and females are around 160 cm long. Despite their differences in length at reproductive maturity, fully grown males and females are usually equal in length and weight.
Breeding season: Tucuxis breed from August to October.
Average number of offspring: 1.
Range gestation period: 10 to 11.6 months.
Average age at sexual or reproductive maturity (female): 6 years.
Average age at sexual or reproductive maturity (male): 6 years.
Key Reproductive Features: iteroparous ; seasonal breeding ; gonochoric/gonochoristic/dioecious (sexes separate); viviparous
Average number of offspring: 1.
Little is known of parental care in Tucuxis; however, mothers are known to whistle at their calves once they have found food. As mammal, mothers likely nurse their young until weaning is complete.
Parental Investment: female parental care ; pre-hatching/birth (Provisioning: Female, Protecting: Female); pre-weaning/fledging (Provisioning: Female, Protecting: Female)

Our fabulously talented writers, episode 702By
Not content with being the superlative wordsmith behind such upcoming Angry Robot titles as Vegas Knights and Amortals, the deeply talented Matt Forbeck has just revealed that he has another string to his bow. Just going into US toy stores, from Playmates Toys, is this incredible Star Trek utility belt… which has among its many features a whole bunch of electronically-controlled missions for those wearing it. And you can guess which superstar did all the logic design and scripting on it.
Pop over to Matt's blog to get the full lowdown on just how smart Matt has actually been in helping design this thing, and marvel at just damn better toys are these days, wasted on the little brats, etc etc.
[Pssst, Matt, I… I, um, well… I don't don't suppose they come in Dad sizes too?]
2 Comments
Sadly, no, Marco. Unless you come in at a trim 28″ waist (which I know I don't!). However, it shouldn't be too hard to rig up a strip of some space-age material to extend it.
I've been searching high and low for these in Greece, but no luck so far – don't suppose you could furnish the AR office with a couple, Matt…?

The Kindness Of Total Strangers
Wednesday - October 19, 2005
Hi Pamela,
My husband and I would like to send our deep gratitude out to Mr. Jason Green of Manoa.
Last week my husband noticed some "paper" flying in his rear mirror as we drove down the Pali Highway passing the cemetery lookout. Thinking nothing of it, we drove to our yoga class.
Later that evening we arrived home and then it hit him - oh, no! That "paper" consisted of things flying out of his wallet as it fell off the roof of our car onto the highway! We got back in the car and spent the next hour searching. We found a few of his business cards. That's it. When we got home, the answering machine had a message from our insurance company. Mr. Jason Green had found our wallet!
We called Mr. Green, expecting to meet him the next day. He was so kind, he insisted on meeting us at the lookout that night to show us where the wallet dropped and help us look for the money and a few cards that were missing. Mr. Green met us that night with flashlights in hand and proceeded to look up and down the Pali Highway for an hour.
Because of him we found all the money and all the missing credit cards!
What a blessing and a relief. So please applaud Mr. Green for us. It's a great reminder that there are wonderful people all around us!
Kim and Andrew Arakawa
Dear Kim and Andrew,
Anyone who's lost a wallet can understand your anxiety. The loss is bad enough, but to have the contents strewn over miles of highway!
"I was coming home from work and noticed a wallet in the middle of the road," says Jason Green, a maintenance supervisor at Hawaiian Memorial Park. "I went back around, picked it up and the only phone number in it was an insurance card. Through the insurance company they called me back. We spent the night in the rain and found money on the side of the road, even a $100 bill. I was just being a good neighbor."
Dear Pamela,
My husband and I were shopping at Safeway on Beretania and discovered that someone had side-swiped our car in the lot. There was no note on the windshield, and we were disgusted that someone could have so little respect for other people's property and no sense of responsibility.
It was then that Myra Fugihara came over and gave us the license plate of the white van that hit us. She had been waiting for her husband in the parking stall across from us and witnessed the whole thing. She also called police on her cell phone, so within minutes a squad car was there to take down the information.
We cannot say thank you enough to Myra for being such a good watchperson. The man driving the van was tracked down and the matter is now being handled by our insurance companies. We could not have done this without Myra. APPLAUSE to this fine person!
Lena Brankowski
Dear Lena,
"I heard this strange sound and looked up and saw this van scraping a Toyota," says Myra Fugihara, a retired teacher from Makiki. " It didn't look-like he was going to stop, so I took down his license number. I wouldn't want that to happen to anyone. It was only right."
(If you know someone who deserves some Applause, send your letters to Pamela Young, MidWeek Applause, KITV, 801 S. King St., Honolulu, HI, 96813 or e-mail email@example.com. Include your name, phone number and, if possible, the phone number of your "applaudee" so we can contact him or her.)

DIY E-Pipe Mod
What do you think about this video?
warren goldstein: Nice result. Simple build. Excellent instructions. Thankyou.
周汉江: good
VultureCat337: This gives me a lot of ideas. Wanting to get/ build a Gandalf style pipe, or just a long pipe in general.
moviking: Great idea & vid, thx for posting :)
defdock: id guess the same way you charge an ego. just screw it on the ego conection and let it charge. idk crap about this mod so idk if thats even possible, but thats what im assuming
MrMeanpie: I think it would look amazing with something like the rocket sax clearomizer
LemusHD: since he's using the Ego connection (which was the metal housing with the button) he might have used the Ego charger which screws on that connection since thats how the ego ecigs charge.
GatlinMovies: I left out video of the actual soldering because I really suck at it and make a horrible mess. Sometimes it takes me several messy attempts to get the solder to stick where I want it to. I found that adding little bits of extra wire gave me more room to work and more room for my mistakes.
GatlinMovies: Anywhere on the sleeve. The sleeve itself is the negative contact.
GatlinMovies: I think I ground out the inside because the battery wouldn't quite fit. Then it was prone to rattling around, so I added the rubber washers as shock absorbers.
Alfie Ford: do you solder the black wire were it starts from the circuit board these are probably dumb questions but im kind of newby and you skipped from the diagram to having put all the wiring in?
Alfie Ford: one question man the black wire can that be soldered anywere to on the inside of the connect sleeve or does it have to be specific
Ryan Welsh: This might be a dumb question: If your wires are soldered directly to the battery, what's your method for charging it?
LiamChadey: Great instructional video. I followed it to the letter. I even managed to buy exactly the same pipe on ebay for £1.50. For the battery and ego tube, button and controller pcb, I dismantled an old ego mini. It works perfectly. Thanks.
GatlinMovies: It looks like MadVapes is out of stock. In comparing my SmokTech eGo Mega dual coil cartomizer, it looks like the diameter is the same as the empty eGo tube. So you might want to buy one of these cartos, then after it's used up its useful life (about a week of vaping for me), you can then cut it up to the desired length.
InvaderMyk: I've collected all the necessary parts (but using an inherited pipe with similar dimensions). But, even after searching high and low for months now, I can't find the 3185 Empty eGo Tube anywhere. Any suggestions on an alternative?
GatlinMovies: BTW, I found that soldering small lead wires first, then soldering those onto the switch wires made it possible to test for shorts before having the switch permanently soldered.....if this makes sense.
GatlinMovies: It's not awkward to hold it, but it's most comfortable if you use your thumb for the button. This means that you're not quite holding it as you would a regular pipe, almost, but your thumb lies up the stem instead of wrapped around the bowl. If you've got small hands it might be a little awkward, though.
GatlinMovies: Sparks on the battery or the switch? Either way, this indicates that you're shorting something out. If you've got sparks on the battery solder, I'd say you're shorting the battery by heating it up too much. If it's in the connections on the switch/tube, I'd say you have some wire insulation melted off or you have excess solder bridging the gap between the positive center pin and the negative body of the tube.
CH121S: i like it. but i wanna see you vape on it. cause i wanna see how awkward it is to use that button if it at all. thanks for the idea though!

Chip Kelly's first press conference as the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles was an eye-opener, to be sure. He spoke about the passion within the Eagles organization and he spoke about the reasons why he ultimately decided to leave Oregon.
Oh, and he spoke about the quarterback position—something we were all dying to hear him talk about.
He mentioned durability as a key asset to determining which quarterback will ultimately be his guy, and according to CSNPhilly.com's Reuben Frank, Kelly said:
"I'm a huge fan of Nick (Foles). We hit him as many times as we could hit someone and he kept getting up."— Reuben Frank (@RoobCSN) January 17, 2013
When it came time to talk about Michael Vick, Kelly was diplomatic in his approach, saying, "Nothing is on the table, and nothing is off the table."
He recently told ESPN's Sal Paolantonio, via Rotoworld.com:
I don't have the answer. I know what a talent he is and have marveled of Michael since he was at Virginia Tech...I want to meet Michael and I want to talk to Michael. And I want to watch the tape. But there haven't been too many quarterbacks in the history of this game with the skill set that he has. I'm in the process of evaluating everyone on this team.
What Does It Mean?
Clearly, Kelly doesn't want to put all his cards on the table right now.
His comments about Foles lead us to believe that the young quarterback will be strongly considered for the starting role in 2013, but he isn't committing to anyone right now.
Vick will be costly for the Eagles, should Kelly decide he wants to run his offense through the dynamic quarterback. I'm of the inclination to believe Vick won't be in Philly in 2013, though, as he's not only an expensive player, but he's proven to be fragile, as well.
Kelly's statements on Thursday didn't rule out the possibility that the Eagles might look the the draft, though, and a quarterback worth considering for his offense would be Geno Smith, should he still be available when Philadelphia picks at No. 4 overall.
Kelly will now spend all of his waking hours poring over game tape of the players currently on the Eagles roster and at tape of college players to determine what's next.

|08.11.2013 - Dont turn farmers into climate smart carbon traders
|Farmers produce food, not carbon. Yet, if some of the governments and corporate lobbies negotiating at the UN climate change conference to be held in Warsaw from 11-22 November have their way, farmland could soon be considered as a carbon sink that polluting corporations can buy into to compensate for their harmful emissions. We are directly opposed to the carbon market approach to dealing with the climate crisis, says Josie Riffaud of La Vía Campesina. Turning our farmers fields into carbon sinks the rights to which can be sold on the carbon market will only lead us further away from what we see as the real solution: food sovereignty. The carbon in our farms is not for sale!..............................................Full Article: Source

Defendant imprisoned for burglaries
- Written by NATE SMITH
A Bellefontaine man was sentenced Monday by Logan County Common Pleas Court Judge Mark S. O'Connor to more than four years in prison on charges of burglary and violating his probation.
Michael Beck, 27, previously of 621 Cooper Ave., was sentenced to four-and-a-half years in prison, more than $4,700 in restitution and three years' post release control for two second-degree felony counts of burglary, and for violating his probation.
A January indictment handed up by a Logan County grand jury included two counts of burglary, second-degree felonies; receiving stolen property, a fifth-degree felony; two counts of receiving stolen property, first-degree misdemeanors; safecracking, a fourth-degree felony; theft of drugs, a fourth-degree felony; and criminal damaging, a second-degree misdemeanor.
The defendant's attorneys told the judge Mr. Beck was a childhood victim of abuse, and that his father died at a young age. Mr. Beck has been diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder and identified as bipolar, his counsel said.
The defendant also has a long history of drug and alcohol addiction, and has previously relapsed and overdosed, court records show.
Prosecutors charged the defendant has used his childhood as an excuse for his criminal behavior and addictions, adding that he's been afforded multiple chances to get himself clean without a lengthy prison term.
The defendant apologized to the court for his actions, and claimed he was intoxicated during his crimes.
He said he was haunted by the memory and ashamed of his actions.
Mr. Beck has been incarcerated since December. His request to get out of jail for a while prior to his prison stay was denied.
"After a four-and-half-year prison sentence, the motion not to return is just too great," the judge said.
Accidental gunshot wound results in conviction
A defendant who was criminally charged after he accidentally shot himself in the leg was sentenced to probation.
Shane Kramer, 40, of Rushsylvania, was sentenced to three years' community control, a $250 fine, and 80 hours of community service for possessing a weapon under disability.
The defendant was charged shortly following his admittance to Mary Rutan Hospital in December after he shot himself in the leg while attempting to clean the firearm.
Mr. Kramer told the judge he had consumed beer earlier in the day, but wasn't intoxicated at the time of the incident.
He only had the gun to teach his kids to shoot, according to his statement to the court.
As part of his probation, the defendant will be assessed for drug and/or alcohol counseling.
"You shot yourself, that's some punishment in and of itself," the judge said.

text: Twin-Star International To Open New, Larger Las Vegas Showroom Furniture Industry News Update - Furniture World Magazine Posted: 7/13/2012 Twin-Star International announced that it will triple the size of its Las Vegas showroom. Still in building A, the new showroom is located in Suite A-1036 at the Las Vegas World Market Center. The grand opening, ribbon cutting ceremony will be held at 9am Monday, July 30th, 2012. A wine and light-fair reception will be held that afternoon from 3pm-6pm in the showroom. The current Twin-Star family of brands to be showcased includes ClassicFlame electric fireplaces, Tresanti media units and thermoelectric wine coolers, as well as Duraflame Quartz Infrared heaters. In April of 2012 Twin-Star doubled its showroom space within the Plaza Suites building in High Point market where they continue to showcase existing brands and innovative new product launches. When asked why another expansion? Bill Caples; Vice President of Sales and Marketing stated, "In order to keep up with customer demanded, mutually successful, unique and innovative furniture lines, Twin-Star needed a space that was not only large enough to accommodate our current product line, but also have enough space for our (Twin-Star) consistent product evolution. Doubling the size was not only the smart choice, but also a necessary one." "There has been considerable industry discussion about whether the integration of the major show room buildings in Las Vegas and High Point under IMC has been a good thing" said Caples, "We have found working with IMC, with Tom Mitchel's leasing team in High Point and Craig Staack's in Las Vegas, has been an advantage for us. They know us, they understand our business and showroom needs, and have been responsive to them". Recently, a new line of entertainment centers were added to the Tresanti product line. These new consoles feature multiple compartments for DVDs, video games, controllers, cord storage and vented shelving with integrated power and wire management. Made with the finest wood veneers and hardwood solids these media centers feature the latest in technology by offering Bluetooth wireless streaming, integrated iPod/iPhone dock and sound bar, optional electric fireplaces as well as thermoelectric wine and beverage coolers. Also new this year are the coordinating occasional pieces. For more information visit www.twinstarhome.com. Furniture World Magazine-Business solutions for furniture retailers

The Mill River Recluse
Darcie Chan
Disfigured by the blow of an abusive husband, the widow Mary McAllister has spent almost sixty years secluded in a white marble mansion overlooking the town of Mill River, Vermont. Her links to the outside world are few: the mail, an elderly priest, and a bedroom window with a view of the town below.
Most longtime residents of Mill River consider the marble house and its occupant peculiar, and few of them have ever seen Mary. But three newcomers – a police officer and his daughter and a new schoolteacher – are curious about the reclusive old woman. Only the town priest truly knows the Mill River recluse, and the secret she keeps… a secret that, once revealed, will change the town, and the lives of its residents, forever.
Immediately my interest was piqued by the opening line of The Mill River Recluse: 'As she gazed out the bay window in her bedroom, Mary McAllister knew this night would be her last.'
Mary McAllister had been widowed 60 years previously, and is imprisoned by a debilitating anxiety disorder which prevents her from mixing with strangers or leaving the house, an activity which always resulted in her suffering crippling panic attacks. She has lived all those years watching out over the small Vermont town of Mill River, coming to care protectively about the residents even though she had never met most of them – apart from the kindly priest, Father Michael O'Brien. But most of the residents of Mill River sadly look upon her as an oddball, the crazy old lady with one eye who lives in the huge white marble mansion that dominated their small town. They mock her and invent cruel, untrue tales about her.
We are introduced to the prominent townsfolk: police officers Hansen and Underwood patrolling the streets of Mill River during a vicious snow storm. Elementary school teacher, Claudia Simons who has recently moved to Mill River to rid herself of past demons. Jean Wykowski, Mary McAllister's nurse who is also awake that night worrying about the old lady who she knows does not have long left to live, as she is currently battling pancreatic cancer. Daisy Delaine, dubbed as the local crazy lady who lives in a mobile home and another object of people's harsh and cruel taunts. And we meet Father O'Brien, Mill River's long serving priest and the only friend and confidante of Mrs. McAllister.
The story flicks back to the summer of 1940, where a clearly wealthy father and son, Stephen and Patrick McAllister, have set out to buy a horse for Patrick's graduation gift. They travel to an untidy smallholding a few miles away from Rutland which looked like it had seen much better days. This is where Patrick meets, and sets his heart upon the young and beautiful Mary, whose father owns the stables.
Moving between Mary's past and the modern day you begin to build a sickening picture of exactly what turned Mary McAllister into the recluse that she became.
The Mill River Recluse really is a tragic story, although you know from the opening line that it is not going to end well for poor Mary. I enjoyed the book immensely and was mentally prepared to give it a very secure five stars, until the ending. There is so much hype and build up to the 'big gift and secret' that Mary McAllister has instructed Father O'Brien to reveal to the town at the annual meeting, that my mind was racing as to what this could be. Unfortunately it turned out to be quite an anticlimax – for me at least. Without revealing the storyline, other parts of the ending did not make a huge amount of sense to me either, and also I did not feel it was tied up quite as well as it could have been.
And the byline on the cover, 'The love story that has touched a million hearts' – I'm still not quite sure where that part was.
Overall the book was good and well written. The ending was disappointing and the best way I can describe it is 'pleasant' (and highly predictable), but it would not deter me from recommending it. Parts of the story are quite harrowing, but for me that was because I felt a real bond developing with the character of Mary – I felt the hurt with her, which to me is all kudos to Darcie Chan's writing.
Thanks to Madeleine at Little Brown for sending me this book to review.

SRS- The sample must be from a simple random sample
Independence- The units or subjects must be independent of each other
Normalcy- The sample must be approximately normally distributed. So if you are working with means, then the sample size needs to be >= 30. If it isn't, then graph it and check for skewness. If there is no significant skew (kind of a subjective thing), then you can proceed under the assumption of normalcy. If you are working with proportions, then np >= 10, n(1-p) >= 10, and 10n <= population size.
Z-scores are for when you use proportions, work with the population, or work with a sample where n > 1000. T-scores are used for working with samples where n <= 1000 and you are not measuring proportions.Suppose then you had the population standard deviation. According to my reference, you can use the standard normal distribution and a z-score test to infer about the population. But it doesnt say how.
Likewise, if your sample is large enough (or if the quantity of samples is large enough, Im not sure), you can also infer about a population from a sample. This time you dont need pop standard deviation, but you do need the sample standard deviation (or the standard deviations of the standard deviations of the samples, Im not sure which).
But if you dont know your population standard deviation and your sample size is small, then use the t-test. But my reference also doesnt tell me how to do that either... up until now there was no mention of the student t-distribution.
Z and t-scores are used to help you find the probability of the even occurring given the mean and standard deviation (and df in the case of a t-test). They are usually used in combination with some kind of hypothesis testing to compare against an alpha value to see if data is significant.What exactly are you infering about the population? Whether you use the z-score or the t-score test, either way, you still need to know something about the population... be it the standard deviation or the mean. So it seems to me that you already need to have tallied up the population in order to make any sense of the samples deviation. What exactly are you inferring about the population from the sample?.. When you already know these particular variables about the population anyway, what is the point?
In a nutshell, this is why we use confidence intervals. Basically, confidence intervals are used to state how confident we are that our sample statistic has captured the population parameter. The formula for confidence intervals is as follows: C = stat +- Crit.Value(Std. Error or Std. Dev). Note that with the +- operators both being used, you will get a range of values (or an interval) from this.What I mean to say is... if you know neither the population standard deviation NOR the population mean... but you only have one (or more) samples... THEN how do you infer about the population?
