File under the "FYI" and "Just Sayin' " Depts...
Seems to me this should be a post to an earlier thread, but I can't be bothered to dig for it.
"On basic questions of morality and human decency — issues such as governmental use of torture, the death penalty, punitive hitting of children, racism, sexism, homophobia, anti-Semitism, environmental degradation or human rights — the irreligious tend to be more ethical than their religious peers, particularly compared with those who describe themselves as very religious."
"As individuals, atheists tend to score high on measures of intelligence, especially verbal ability and scientific literacy. They tend to raise their children to solve problems rationally, to make up their own minds when it comes to existential questions and to obey the golden rule. They are more likely to practice safe sex than the strongly religious are, and are less likely to be nationalistic or ethnocentric. They value freedom of thought."
"Consider that at the societal level, murder rates are far lower in secularized nations such as Japan or Sweden than they are in the much more religious United States, which also has a much greater portion of its population in prison. Even within this country, those states with the highest levels of church attendance, such as Louisiana and Mississippi, have significantly higher murder rates than far less religious states such as Vermont and Oregon."

Janowitz, Tama
Tama Janowitz 1957-
American novelist, short story writer, journalist, and children's writer.
The following entry presents an overview of Janowitz's career through 1996. For further information on her life and works, see CLC, Volume 43.
Both reproached and lauded for her bold depictions of late twentieth-century American society, Janowitz is a best-selling novelist who also became a celebrity in the worlds of fashion, art, and advertising in the 1980s and early 1990s. At one time, Janowitz was the subject of tremendous media exposure due to her association with the New York City art scene, which centered around pop art guru Andy Warhol. Critics have also identified her as part of a "literary brat pack" that includes novelists Jay McInerney, Bret Easton Ellis, and Douglas Coupland. Janowitz claims Henry James, Edith Wharton, and Vladimir Nabokov among her major influences, but her literary style encompasses a wide range of references; from the broad English farces of Evelyn Waugh to comic strips and the impact of television on modern culture. Janowitz specializes in making bold characterizations of mainstream pop culture and uses sharp satire to capture the "poses and pretentions" of the upper-class Manhattan art world.
Biographical Information
Although a long-time resident of New York City, Janowitz was born in San Francisco, California; the daughter of Julian Frederick Janowitz, a psychiatrist, and Phyllis Winer, a poet and professor. Her childhood was marked by a liberal parenting style and her parents' divorce. Janowitz studied at several different institutions including Barnard College, Hollins College, Yale University School of Drama, and Columbia University. After college, she settled in New York and worked as a freelance journalist, a model, an assistant art director, and a writer-in-residence. Janowitz first began writing fiction during her college years. She completed American Dad (1981), her first published novel, several years after college while working in the New York fashion and art world. Her first critical success was Slaves of New York (1986), a collection of short stories which inspired an 1989 film by Ismail Merchant and James Ivory (in which Janowitz also appeared). A Cannibal in Manhattan (1987), an earlier work, was released by Janowitz's publisher immediately following the success of Slaves of New York. Janowitz developed strong ties with the New York art scene, and especially with her close friend, Andy Warhol. Warhol's creative marketing approach and postmodern sensibilities were qualities that influenced Janowitz in her formative professional years. Employing Warhol's trademark technique of "visualization" (where an individual constantly imagines oneself as successful in order to achieve success), Janowitz boldly pursued her celebrity status as she participated in the decadent lifestyle embraced by many young affluent New Yorkers during the 1980s. In 1992, Janowitz married Tim Hunt, the curator of the Andy Warhol estate.
Major Works
American Dad focuses on the life of a young man named Earl Przepasnick and his handling of his parents' divorce. Earl's relationships with his father, his psychiatrist, and his mother, are autobiographical in nature and reflective of several events in Janowitz's youth. Slaves of New York is a collection of twenty-two short stories inspired by Janowitz's experiences living in Manhattan and her relations to the New York City art world. Several of the stories center on a young jewelry maker named Eleanor and her artist boyfriend, Stash. Another prominent character is Marley Mantello, a self-assured painter who dreams of becoming a success. The stories exhibit an abundance of humor that helps mask a deep underlying darkness. This style is also prevalent in A Cannibal in Manhattan, whose main character, Mgungu Yabba Mgungu, is a young man brought to New York from a South Seas island by a wealthy socialite. Mgungu quickly encounters the barbarity of civilized life, and the novel, through its central metaphor, provides commentary on the culture of consumer capitalism. Janowitz exploits the Shakespearean conceit of "gender in disguise" in The Male Cross-Dresser Support Group (1992), which centers around Pamela Trowel (who sells advertising for Hunter's World magazine) and her befriending of a nine-year-old street urchin. Gender themes are also woven into By the Shores of Gitchee Gumee (1996), a story based on the poetry of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. The novel focuses on Maud Slivenowicz, a nineteen-year-old who lives with her family in a trailer by the polluted shores of Lake Superior. Janowitz explores issues central to post-feminist thought through her portrayal of Maud and her sister, Marietta. Susan Bolotin referred to the novel as "a picaresque satire of twentieth-century America." Janowitz returned to her usual New York setting in her 1999 novel, A Certain Age. The city's social climbers and their cocktail-party circuit are again reexamined, this time with the focus on an unmarried woman in her thirties and her ruthless quest for a wealthy, well-connected husband. In April 2001, Janowitz collaborated with illustrator Tracy Dockray on the children's book, Hear That?, which centers around a mother playing a listening game with her young son.
Critical Reception
Although her first novel, American Dad, was widely ignored by critics, Janowitz's second work, Slaves of New York, became an international best-seller that immediately thrust her into the media spotlight. Readers were drawn to her dark sense of humor and her vivid, engaging descriptions of the ethics behind New York's avant-garde art scene. Critics, however, did not respond so favorably as the general public. Although some reviewers praised her bold prose style (Alice H. G. Phillips said that Janowitz "observes everything with a sharp eye but with a New York bohemian's true affection for her world"), many critics took issue with Janowitz's tendency to stress style over substance. They criticized Janowitz for her exhaustive descriptions of pop culture minutiae and for her thinly-veiled allusions to high-society gossip. Raymond Sokolov called Slaves a "slovenly collection" with "restlessly indistinct" prose, labelling Janowitz "a writer for nonreaders." Slaves of New York has endured as Janowitz's best reviewed work, although her follow-up novels have remained popular with readers across the country. When asked in an Esquire interview how she felt about the negative critical response to her work, Janowitz commented: "My feelings are hurt … and you feel like, oh how could you say this, but it doesn't bother me that much because what can you do, you're writing the best book you can. And the other side of me feels glad that they trashed it because mostly the books that I don't like are the ones getting the lovely reviews." Hailed as a "marketing artist" by the New York Times, Janowitz is a writer whose fiction has drawn close scrutiny, and whose work has been hailed as a vivid and telling rendition of American postmodern urban life.

[In the following excerpt Sokolov objects to the substance of Janowitz's prose in Slaves of New York.]
Uptown in the shabby genteel offices of The New Yorker they have been waiting at least a decade for the aged editor William Shawn to step down. At age 80, he has become a laughingstock, devoting his once-distinguished, once-amusing magazine to n-part screeds on staple grains and vanished airplanes, indulging an old man's whim for young women writers of dubious (literary) virtue.
The latest of these Shawn-genues is Tama Janowitz, whose stories mostly chronicle clothes-conscious young women caught up in the current Manhattan art-and-club scene. Ms. Janowitz is in a position to know about her subject. In her real life, she is the queen of the art mob, goes to parties on the arm of Andy Warhol, has her picture on the cover of New York magazine, and now she lies exposed, down to her most unmentionable fiction, in Slaves of New York.
Should you happen to be swept up in the Janowitz craze to the point of actually opening this slovenly collection, you will discover a cast of characters ranging from pathetic Eleanor, slave of her boyfriend Stash, to that self-proclaimed saint and genius, the painter Marley Mantello. Do not look to them for depth (or even...

SOURCE: "From the Hip," in Times Literary Supplement, December 12, 1986, p. 1409.
[The following review provides a brief synopsis of Slaves of New York and comments on the book's range of characters and themes.]
From its opening tale, related flamboyantly by a rich girl turned prostitute, to its final case history of a modern sado-masochistic relationship, Tama Janowitz's first collection of short stories [Slaves of New York] is designed to attract the attention of the young and the trendy. But then, almost all of its characters are New York artists, art dealers, designers or models with reputations to make and high rents to pay; they know that catching the eye of the right people is what sells paintings or ideas—or whatever it is you're selling.
Janowitz keeps her balance on the tilted game board. She observes everything with a sharp eye but with a New York bohemian's true affection for her world, and applies her mischievous sense of humour to its artworks ("flatulent balloons"), personalities ("furious elves and fairies, in twentieth-century disguise") and social events:
One artist … made strange movements with his mouth like a kissing gourami. One artist was so famous he refused to sit with the rest of us; he had his own private table on the balcony, where he was seated with a famous French movie actress. The...

[In the following review, Dibdin discusses Janowitz's thematic concerns in the novel Slaves of New York.]
How do you like to be approached by a strange work of fiction? Do you prefer a hearty handshake ('Call me Ishmael'), a more discursive line ('All happy families are alike'), or a low-key manner ('For a long time I used to go to bed early')? What about this, for example?
After I became a prostitute, I had to deal with penises of every imaginable shape and size. Some large, others quite shrivelled and pendulous of testicle. Some blue-veined and reeking of Stilton, some miserly.
The narrator is a Jewish princess who took up her trade 'when my job as script girl for a German-produced movie to be filmed in Venezuela fell through'; her pimp, Bob, had been a doctoral candidate in philosophy and American literature at the University of Massachusetts; their Avenue A walk-up is littered with empty syringes, douche bags, whips, garrottes, and packages of half-eaten junk food. 'As far as his role went', Bob 'could have cared less', but 'I felt that … I was growing intellectually as well as emotionally. Bob was both sadist and masochist to me; for him I was madonna and whore. Life with him was never dull.'

[In the following review, Pilcer briefly considers several thematic implications of A Cannibal in Manhattan.]
Perhaps you've seen her Amaretto ads. The most visible of a highly publicized group of young writers who have been hailed "the literary brat pack," Tama Janowitz has brand recognition. Her new book [A Cannibal in Manhattan.] has been launched with the breathless hype usually reserved for rock acts.
Despite the off-putting title, I was ready to be entertained by her deadpan humor and offbeat characters.
Unfortunately, Janowitz fails to find a voice for Mgungu Yabba Mgungu, as she did for her down-town Slave denizens. "I am nothing more than a savage," says Mgungu. "I don't understand even the simplest theories of electricity." Yet this cannibal does know his American brand names as well as the city's hottest clubs.
One hopes that Mgungu might be given some original observations to chew on. Instead, we are served such whopping platitudes as, "A life in the United States. How was I to know what people said or did is not the same at all as what they mean?"
The book itself features a photo scrapbook straight out of fanzinedom, including Janowitz and friends cavorting as the characters, complete with...

[In the following review, Reading discusses the texts and subtexts of A Cannibal in Manhattan.]
To the South Pacific island of New Burnt Norton, home of the sometime cannibalistic, almost extinct Lesser Pimbas, comes nubile New York billion-heiress Maria Fishburn—ostensibly to teach algebra to the hapless natives under the auspices of the Peace Corps, but really because she fancies the tribe's president-elect, five-foot purple-skinned Mgungu Yabba Mgungu, having seen his picture on the front of the National Geographic years earlier and fallen in love with him. Maria dispatches her prize back to the States. The ensuing culture-shock, recorded in Mgungu's idiosyncratic first-person English, is the subject of Tama Janowitz's amusing picaresque fiction [A Cannibal in Manhattan.]
The noble savage serves, of course, to accentuate the real absurdity, viciousness and debasement of the sophisticated civilization into which he is deposited. With somewhat forced ingenuousness the quondam cannibal plods a well-worn itinerary through the disaster zone of modern urban social and psychotic mess. The satirical sallies include a jab at piety ("Oh, Jackie Kennedy Onassis, I prayed, suddenly turning to religion in a time of need"), a memorably funny encounter with a...

[In the following essay, Kaye presents a detailed portrait of Janowitz's personal life, commenting on her professional milieu and various critical attitudes toward her work.]
From the back she looks like a stick figure drawn by a child. From any angle, she clearly aspires to be both a rebel and a waif. Her abundant hair has been likened to a bird's nest, a furry wigwam, a lion's mane. It is going gray at the temples.
Had she had less distinctive hair, her life might have been quite different. The hair has been useful in furthering the career of a writer whose most notable creation has proven to be herself.
Wherever she goes, people stare at her. Those ignorant of who she is can tell that she is Someone. As much as she solicits attention, obtaining it seems to unnerve her and to reduce her to a state that is both zoned out and out of control. Her face goes dead, her eyes roll upward, her head bobs from side to side. When she smiles, her face changes. Her smile is sweet and sometimes wistful. It lightens and softens her face and disappears in an instant.
Her eyes are lined with black, brightened by blue contact lenses. She says she wears tinted lenses because they are easier to find if one drops out, though that is probably not the only reason. Her skin is whitened with...

[In the following brief excerpt, Salamon praises portions of The Male Cross-Dresser Support Group for its wit and intelligence.]
Tama Janowitz has solved the casting problem for her latest novel, The Male Cross-Dresser Support Group. She has written and directed a film version, conceived as a promotional gimmick.
Without having seen the film but having read the book, I strongly recommend the film. It's only 40 seconds long, an appropriate amount of time to spend with Ms. Janowitz's ruminations about her heroine's periods, her electrolysis, her hair and—I'm not kidding—ethics and morality in the late 20th century.
This time Ms. Janowitz's main character is a charmless creature named Pamela, who finds salvation for her dreary existence by taking unofficial custody of a young boy and taking him on the road. For Pamela and Ms. Janowitz life is one absurdist joke after another, strung together by the author's philosophizing.
For instance: "To find a head in the road might be a quirk of fate, but to find a head in the road and then to stumble upon the scene of one's father and stepmother's demise—obviously some larger psychosis or neurosis is involved. But hey, so what? I mean, who the hell actually cares? Life...

SOURCE: "Eight Million Characters in Search of an Author," in Spectator, November 14, 1992, pp. 39-40.
[In the following review, Shone contemplates the humorous aspects of Janowitz's style.]
Eighties junk fiction is showing its paunch. 'The ancient tallow of fast food' hangs around Tama Janowitz's new novel [The Male Cross-Dresser Support Group]. The most frequently used adjective in the book? Greasy. The pizza her heroine eats at the start: 'A spot of grease glistened in the centre'. The lamb chops she remembers eating as a child: 'greasy, gristly'. The hamburger on page 72: 'greasy'. The hair of the schmuck on page 205: 'filthy, greasy, unwashed'. Even the trees on the sidewalk have 'greasy leaves'.
A male writer might at this point have attempted to extrapolate from the grunge some general theory of urban decrepitude (think of the work to which mucus is put by Martin Amis, or the existential mileage Easton Ellis gets out of human innards). Janowitz's pleasant 300-page gossip is blissfully free of such vanities. 'Yeeauuck' would seem to be the sum of its satirical take on the world, and much the better it is for it too.
Pamela Trowell is a typical Janowitz creation: a low-rent bundle of bangles and bravado, discount-chic and urban neuroses, eking out an existence somewhere near the bottom of the fashion chain—receiving last...

[In the following essay, Young discusses Janowitz's oeuvre within the framework of postmodern feminist theory.]
"Slipping through the stitch of virtue, Into crime"
(Djuna Barnes, The Book of Repulsive Women)*
It is the 1950s and our heroine is sitting in the kitchen. Outside, a bomb-shelter broods in the backyard. She is watching her mother who, in a flowered pinny and turban is doing a hundred things at once: mixing the Bisto gravy, worming the cat, sudsing the smalls, dashing away with a smoothing iron, all because she's W.O.M.A.N. Her daughter's never going to grow up like that … In a trice she's become a pouting, blonde dolly-bird in a crochet mini-dress, bowling down the King's Road in a pink sports car. Next, she's in a kitchen, hopelessly stirring mung beans in some rustic commune, bra-less and unencumbered in trailing cheese-cloth. Another click and she's up at the barricades screaming for abortion on demand, wages for housework and lesbian rights. This year she's wearing...

[In the following review Bolotin provides a summary of the plot of By the Shores of Gitchee Gumee.]
The creative muse manifests itself in many forms. Even Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's "Song of Hiawatha" has provided its share of inspiration, albeit mostly to parodists. But one has to wonder what it was about the famous narrative poem that got Tama Janowitz's juices going. Could it have been the notion of an innocent culture heading for its inevitable destruction, or the image of the magnificent Hiawatha revenging the sins perpetrated against his mother? Was it simply the stupefying tom-tom cadence? As my kids would say: Whatever. Or as I would say: No matter why you decide to set a novel by the shores of Gitchee Gumee, you may get soaked.
By the Shores of Gitchee Gumee, Ms. Janowitz's latest novel, is a picaresque satire of 20th-century America. The heroine, Maud Slivenowicz, 19, is one of five children living in a decrepit trailer near the now-polluted Gitchee Gumee (nuclear waste, don't you know?) with their kooky mother, Evangeline. (It might be time for Ms. Janowitz to discuss this Longfellow thing with someone.) Maud, whose favorite pastime is citing bizarre examples from "The Sex Life of the Animals"—"Did you know the blood fluke lives in a state of permanent...

[In the following review, Todd addresses issues of Janowitz's style and theme while providing a summary of By the Shores of Gitchee Gumee.]
Here's a bright gem of a book—literally. The jacket lettering is done in electric-blue and lime-green; a neon-yellow hairless dog is freakily emblazoned mid-page; and in the background are surreally rolling bubble-gum-pink clouds, which, if you remember, also featured prominently on the cover of Douglas Coupland's Generation X.
Which reference is confusing, because the distinctive landscape Tama Janowitz explores in her fiction doesn't have much to do with Coupland's frighteningly candid cultural snapshots. Sure, there are disaffected characters in TamaLand and references to pop culture and lots of funky retro clothing. But in general TamaLand is an upbeat place. Often (as in Janowitz's Slaves of New York and The Male Cross-Dresser Support Group) TamaLand is Manhattan, seen through the eyes of vaguely arty types: painters on the make, hat designers, staffers at obscure magazines. They live downtown, dress excellently, chat glibly, act quirkily, and know they're ultrahip and getting hipper all the time.
By the Shores of Gitchee Gumee is set in Longfellow country, but don't be fooled. Substitute trees for...

The trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 has arrived! Andrew Garfield is back as the young, masked hero as is Emma Stone as his love interest Gwen Stacy. This time around, Dane DeHaan is playing Harry Osborn, and honestly, he's probably my favourite part of this whole trailer. Jamie Foxx is also here as Max Dillon/Electro, Spider-Man's new nemesis, intent on creating a world "without power, without mercy, without Spider-Man." Not awesome news for Peter Parker, who's discovering more about his father's research and has just found out he's under surveillance by the evil Oscorp. Also in the trailer: a plane falling out of the sky, an epic battle between Spidey and Electro, and some great banter between Peter and Gwen.
Even if Spider-Man isn't your superhero of choice, you have to admit this looks pretty fantastic. Come on, there's a glowing blue guy! DeHaan looks totally calculating! So much web-slinging! The movie opens April 17 of next year, and if you can't stand the long wait, you should watch the trailer after the jump.

A Man Gets 15 Years in Prison After His Third Conviction For Biting Off Someone's Body Part:
Eventually, if there's enough proof you're a CANNIBAL, people are going to want you off the streets. You know . . . before you eat them.
This week, 37-year-old Christopher Harris of Fort Worth, Texas was convicted for the THIRD TIME for biting off someone's body part.
In 2001, he got nine months in prison for biting a man's finger off. In 2006, he got four years in prison for biting off a different guy's finger . . . and CHEWING and SWALLOWING it.
And this time, he was convicted of BITING off half of a man's nose. The nose couldn't be reattached.
The assistant district attorney prosecuting him told the jury, quote, "This man exhibited cannibalistic behavior time and time again. Three people are physically scarred because of his utter lack of self control."
He was convicted of aggravated assault causing serious bodily injury and got 15 YEARS in prison.
Did a New York Cop Kill Himself Because His Female Boss Made Him Trade Sex for a Better Work Schedule?
Last February, a 39-year-old cop in Queens, New York named Matthew Schindler committed suicide. And this week, his widow, Gina Schindler, filed a lawsuit.
She says that her husband killed himself because his FEMALE BOSS made him HAVE SEX WITH HER, in exchange for a better work schedule. And the guilt drove him to kill himself.
The lawsuit alleges that Matthew, quote, "was made to understand he would suffer tangible detriment in his job, job assignments, work conditions, and future prospects if he did not submit to the sexual advances and demands" of his boss.
That boss was Sergeant Christine Hertzel. The lawsuit says Matthew even told her he'd kill himself if she didn't stop . . . but she ignored him.
The lawsuit is seeking unspecified damages from the city, the NYPD, and Sergeant Hertzel.
A Postal Worker Is Retiring After 44 Years Without Ever Taking a Sick Day:
64-year-old Deborah Ford of Detroit, Michigan retired from her job with the U.S. Postal Service last week. So her coworkers threw her a surprise lunch.
She started her job at age 20 . . . meaning that she's worked for the Post Office for 44 years. And that's not the most remarkable part.
Over that time, Deborah NEVER used any sick time. If she had a doctor's appointment, she would use a vacation day instead of sick leave. And if she wasn't feeling well, she said, quote, "I'd just shake it off."
Deborah lives with her 86-year-old father . . . and before he retired, he never took a sick day in 30 years of work.
Deborah retired with 4,508 hours of unused sick leave. (That's equivalent to 563 8-hour days . . . or about TWO YEARS worth of time off.) She cashed them in to get a 5% increase in her pension.

Just wondering if you know if this apocalypse thing is supposed to happen during the course of the 21st or at midnight? People just seem to still be here... including the devout and annoying neighbor I had hoped to be free of... and I thought I misunderstood something. No one seems to be in the know even here in the Bible Belt.
Please send word that you are still here too. It would be wretched without you lot.
May 21, 2011 - typical wet east coast Canadian spring day. Rained to the point that I couldn't walk the dog (boo!) or do yard work (yay!!) Watched the qualifying rounds of the Spanish Grand Prix Formula 1 race, and puttered in the workshop...
What's that? Rapture?
Nope, not a twinge. Either it didn't happen, or there isn't/wasn't a Xtian within 20 kilometers of my house. 'Cause no-one left unexpectedly.
Guess I'll just have to go back to my regular ol' life, complete with loving wife, terrific daughters, dumb-as-a-post warrior husky, challenging career, satisfying hobbies, (you get the picture).
And everybody? Have a nice, deity-free day.

By Stephen Schramm
CHAPEL HILL - When asked recently who he felt the leaders on this season's North Carolina team were, Tar Heels coach Roy Williams gave a four-part answer.
Reggie Bullock was on that list because of his consistent effort on and off the court.
Dexter Strickland was too, because he was a senior.
James Michael McAdoo had to be in the mix because of his credentials as one of the league's most gifted big men.
And finally, Williams mentioned freshman point guard Marcus Paige because, well, he's a point guard. And, he said, that position makes one a leader by default.
For much of his first season at North Carolina, Paige's grasp of that distinction wasn't exactly firm. He's shown flashes of being the steady hand the Tar Heels badly need. However, he's also had some understandable growing pains.
But down the stretch in Saturday's 72-60 overtime win against visiting Virginia Tech - a game that, had it gone the other way, could have been quite detrimental to the Tar Heels' postseason aspirations - Paige proved he was worthy of being lumped into that group.
"I like his toughness, his competitiveness," Williams said. "I've said all along that I think he's going to be a really good player. I think he showed a little bit more today."
Paige had five assists and a career-high 19 points. His 34 minutes in regulation tied his mark for most court time in a game at North Carolina. He then went on to play all five minutes of overtime.
From keeping cool during the 12-0 Virginia Tech run to start the game to cheerfully handling the flood of reporters and television cameras that engulfed him when he appeared in the players' lounge for postgame interviews, Paige displayed a confidence Saturday that never wavered.
"When you're on the court, confidence determines a lot of things," Paige said. "If you think you're a big-time player, you're going to try and end up playing more like one."
In the final minutes of regulation, Paige did have a moment that was decidedly not big time.
With about 30 seconds left and the game tied at 55-55, Paige drove baseline and drew the defense. He leapt toward the goal before trying to whip a pass into the lane. He thought Jackson Simmons would be there and have an open layup. But Simmons wasn't there and the ball went straight into the hands of the Hokies' Joey Van Zegeren.
On the Hokies' next possession, Erick Green missed a jumper with a few ticks left helping send the game into overtime.
"I was pretty disappointed in myself to have the chance to get the lead . and throw the ball away," Paige said. "It's just a silly error on my part and I just wanted to come out and make up for it in overtime."
He did just that in a spurt that blew open what had been a tight game all along. After a van Zegeren free throw cut North Carolina's lead to 59-58 with 3:23 left, Paige hit a 3-pointer. On the Tar Heels' next possession, he calmly swished a baseline jumper to put North Carolina up 64-58.
The Hokies came up empty on their next time down the floor and had to foul Paige with 1:36 left. After he hit one free throw to give the Tar Heels a 65-58 lead, their biggest of the day, fans in the Smith Center could breathe easily for the first time.
"He just stepped it up, he was playing with a lot of confidence," senior guard Dexter Strickland said. "He was knocking down some big shots. . He just played tough for us."

I have this one on the shelves and I'm still intrigued! I mean Hades/Persephone, ghosts, Jack the Ripper and Prof. Alexi sounds ->positively delish <- why do I hear a character from a TV series say that too in my mind?
Anyway, I'm glad the end delivered more of the good stuff for you Blodeuedd and a forbidden love...I enjoy this kind of romance :D
Sorry you did not enjoy this book; I hope your next read is great!
Here is an award for you :) http://muse-in-the-fog.blogspot.com/2010/04/suddenly-sunday_11.html
Have a great week!
hey sweetie!
Well I can't tell you if it is or isn't...that would tell everyone else the answer ...LOL
But sweetie if you want ot be in the running for the gifts (personalized tooled leather book cover or the free book) you have to leave the comment on Jes' blog! xoxoxo
OH, BTW I love that picture you have at the top right of your blog...art by Taylor! I love it!
The professor, mmm, oh yes ->positively delish <-.
I am glad too that I got sucked in at last.
Thanks :D Must come over soon!
If it had been a library book...perhaps not, but since it was my own, well I am glad I did not stop.
I had to have this on my bday wish list, since everyone was reading it :D
even tho it started off slow, this one sounds very good!
I hate slow beginnings because rarely am I rewarded. It took me over 100 pages to get into We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver. I kept reading because it was a book club book, and I'm glad I did because it blew me away. But the process of getting to that point was hard.
Diary of an Eccentric
Thank you for your lovely comment. I appreciate and love them all :D
I answer them all here.
Update: I have switched to embedded comments, so please let me know if you can't comment

The Ultimate Chronic Sinus Congestion Quiz
Are you ready for cold season?
- Have a sense of humor! A good laugh can send up to 20 percent more blood pumping through the body.
- Due to work-related stress, you're most likely to have a heart attack on a Monday than any other day of the week! Try stress-relieving activities (like yoga or mediation) on this day.
- Men and women have different heart attack symptoms, and it's actually more difficult for women to tell when they are having an attack. Women who feel faint or short of breath should call 911.
- Don't light up. Quit smoking, and you'll cut your risk of coronary heart disease by 50 percent in just one year.
- Steer clear of smokers. Approximately 38,000 people die each year from heart and blood vessel diseases caused by secondhand smoke.
- Don't have time to fit in a full 30-minute workout? Try to fit in three, 10-minute sessions instead. Both provide the same benefits for your heart.
- Eat a diet low in these three nutrients: fat, cholesterol, and salt. They contribute to high cholesterol and blood pressure.
- Heart disease is the single biggest killer of both men and women. The best prevention tool is a healthy lifestyle and an annual doctor's appointment.
- Lack of sleep can lead to irregular heart function. Aim to get seven to nine hours!
- Get up from your desk. People who sit hunched over their computer for most of the day are 54 percent more likely to die of heart attacks.
- A broken heart can literally increase one's risk for heart attack. Heal after a break-up by taking time to grieve and then surrounding yourself with positive friends.
- Wash dinner down with wine – but just one glass! Scientists have found that moderate amounts of red and white wines can be helpful in preventing heart disease.
- Big hearts really do exist. But they're not a sign of greater affection -- they indicate an increased risk for heart disease.
- Say "yes, please" to potassium. Loading up potatoes, tomatoes, bananas, and other potassium-rich foods can lower blood pressure by 10 points, according to a recent study.
- Get full off fiber. This heart-healthy nutrient can reduce blood cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease. Aim for 25 grams per day.
- When going out to eat, be wary these words: fried, au gratin, crispy, scalloped, pan-fried, sautéed, buttered, or creamed. They usually mean this dish is packed with heart-harming saturated fats.
- Be berry merry. Ladies who ate three or more bowlfuls of berries (specifically blueberries and strawberries) per week cut their of heart attack by approximately 30 percent.
- Eat chocolate. Indulging regularly could reduce your risk for heart attack by roughly 37 percent. Just keep the chocolate dark (more antioxidants) and the portion small (one ounce).
- Say Namaste. Yoga can help reduce irregular heartbeats.
- Eating well and exercising regularly has a greater impact on your risk for heart disease than your family history.

'Join, or Die' is a well-known political cartoon, created by Benjamin Franklin and first published in his Pennsylvania Gazette on May 9, 1754. The original publication by the Gazette is the earliest known pictorial representation of colonial union produced by a British colonist in America. It is a woodcut showing a snake severed into eighths, with each segment labeled with the initials of a British American colony or region. New England was represented as one segment, rather than the four colonies it was at that time. In addition, Delaware and Georgia were omitted completely. Thus, it has 8 segments of snake rather than the traditional 13 colonies. The cartoon appeared along with Franklin's editorial about the "disunited state" of the colonies, and helped make his point about the importance of colonial unity. During that era, there was a superstition that a snake which had been cut into pieces would come back to life if the pieces were put together before sunset.
The cartoon became a symbol of freedom during the American Revolutionary War.
