comfortable and great design
I bought the white T-Shirt and found it comfortable and light weight. Lots of room to move comfortable with daily activities. Another Tommy Bahama favorite for me!

The quality of your t-shirts is the best
I have found that the quality of Tommy Bahama products are well worth the extra $$. I still have linen shorts that I wear daily that I purchased 5 years ago. I have button down silk shirts that are 10 years old. If you follow the washing instructions; the t-shirts last a very long time. Eventually, my whole wardrobe will be Tommy Bahama...

Someone Else's Twin: The True Story of Babies Switched at Birth
by Nancy L. Segal. Prometheus Books, 2011
In 1973 identical twins Delia and Begoña were accidentally separated in the Canary Islands hospital where they were born. Begoña went home with her parents and an unrelated baby, Beatriz, who was raised as her twin. Meanwhile, 50 miles away, Beatriz's parents brought up Delia as their daughter.
Fast-forward 28 years, when a local store clerk mistakes Begoña for Delia. Convinced the two are twins, she arranges a meeting. The meeting fundamentally alters the sisters' sense of identity—as well as that of their parents and siblings.
In Someone Else's Twin, Nancy L. Segal delves into this extraordinary, tragic case to tackle both the scientific significance of identical twins and the humanistic questions they spark about identity. Segal, a fraternal twin and psychologist who directs the Twin Studies Center at California State University, Fullerton, gained access to the women in exchange for acting as an expert witness in their lawsuit against the Canary Islands Health Services. Her position is clear: "Suddenly finding a twin in adulthood revises everything about one's personal identity—who one is and who one should have been."
She bolsters her position with findings from the 20-year Minnesota Study of Twins Reared Apart, in which Segal was an investigator, and other research. Regardless of how they are raised, identical twins are more alike than fraternal twins in height, weight, health, intelligence, athleticism, social attitudes and job satisfaction, underscoring the influence of genes on these qualities. Indeed, the relationship between identical twins is so unique that a Spanish physician contended that Delia and Begoña's separation violated their "fundamental right to personal identity."
Segal describes how Beatriz, too, suffered a devastating loss when the switch was discovered. The twins' parents also were shattered. Research on maternity certainty—a mother's confidence that a child is her own—has shown that new mothers perform better than chance when trying to recognize their newborns within a couple of hours using senses other than sight; fathers are better at picking out their babies visually. Failing to spot a switch or to act forcefully on that instinct only adds to the grief of the new reality. "Saying your child has been switched," the father of a switched pair tells Segal, "is like saying she's been killed."

BREAKING NEWS: House Approves Budget Agreement, 332-94
Washington, DC Saturday, July 2, 2011
On American History TV's The Civil War: Historian Gary Gallagher argues that the primary motive of the North during the War was to preserve the "Union"—not to emancipate the slaves. However, Union forces "should" be credited with moving emancipation forward. He presented the keynote address at a symposium on "Emancipation during the Civil War" with the U-S Capitol Historical Society.

AnswerUnless your devices have a lightning connector as the iPad mini for example doe's you won't be able to use this with earlier model iPads. You may be able to solve this challenge by also buying the Lightning to 30‑pin Adapter.

- Asked by Max G
- 23-Dec-2012
- Flag as inappropriate
AnswerMost definitely yes, this works with sound. It also works with the audible.com app just fine. Be aware, however, that Facetime will not rout through the adapter but stays on the phone. Also, be aware that telephone calls made through the phone app will say on the phone itself and not rout through the connecter. For blind Voice OVer users, Voice Over will speak on the phone itself and not be routed through the adapter: rather a nice plus.

Can I use the Lightning Digital AV Adapter to connect my iPad mini to a big-screen TV and watch iPlayer etc? I saw one comment suggesting I couldn't.
This is the only reason I want to buy the Lightning Digital AV Adapter, and was about to purchase until I saw someone saying you couldn't watch on-demand TV using this cable. That's the first I've heard of this though, so not sure if this is true or not.
I actually subscribe to Eurosport Player which is great on the iPad, but would be good to have the option to watch on a big TV, without going down the AirPlay route.- Asked by Paul S
- 23-Jan-2013
- Flag as inappropriate
AnswerIt is up to the app publisher to include support for video-out. For instance, I had attempted to stream HBO2GO to my AppleTV, only to find out it would pass audio but not video. HBO issued an update for the app just today allowing the video out (for both Airplay and AV ou,t like this product) to work from the app.

The fashion of today is fitted. This jersey is snug and rides up my gut a little bit. Maybe if I lose a few pounds from my 165, 5'8" physique, this jersey would fit better? Still, I like it despite the comfort. I like the look.

Thomas Jefferson's Maple Sugar Love and More Presidential Food Facts
This week an IBM computer system named Watson proved it could handily win a game of Jeopardy! against the toughest human competitors, causing one of them to joke, "I, for one, welcome our new computer overlords." But how would Watson fare in the nastier game of presidential campaign politics? On the one hand, he probably wouldn't make the gaffes that recent candidates have made, like blanking on simple questions during a TV interview or forgetting how many states there are. On the other hand, would you want to drink a beer with him/it?
Speaking of which, do you know which past president drank beer or hard cider for breakfast? I bet Watson does. It was John Adams. And here, in honor of Presidents' Day weekend, are a few other tasty nuggets of presidential trivia:
Washington Ate Here (No, Really): You can still grab a pint and a bite in the same tavern where George Washington bid his officers farewell after the Revolution, the Fraunces Tavern and museum in lower Manhattan. (In case you missed it yesterday, see Jesse Rhodes' look at the first president's eating habits—and dental woes.)
The First Locavore President?: Thomas Jefferson, influenced by the abolitionist Benjamin Rush, was an early proponent of cultivating maple sugar as a domestic alternative to cane sugar from the West Indies. In a 1790 letter, during his tenure as Secretary of State, Jefferson wrote of the sugar maple, "What a blessing to substitute a sugar which requires only the labour of children, for that which it is said renders the slavery of the blacks necessary."
What, No French Fries?: If Bill Clinton was the president most famous for his deep appreciation of junk food, the most ascetic eater to occupy the White House may have been John Quincy Adams. The sixth president was often too absorbed in his work to think about food. Early in his career, he wrote in his diary, "Five or six small crackers and a glass of water give me a sumptuous dinner."
I Didn't Ingest: Speaking of Clinton, his recent health problems have convinced him to change his eating habits, giving him a new distinction: he is now the first (almost) vegan ex-president.
The Hard Cider Candidate: I wrote a few months ago about the practice of "swilling the planters with bumbo," or bribing the electorate with booze. Opponents of William Henry Harrison, by contrast, suggested that the candidate himself be given "a barrel of hard cider" and a pension to retire to his log cabin rather than run for president. He was promptly dubbed the Log Cabin and Hard Cider candidate.
All Gingerbread Men Are Created Equal: The folksy childhood anecdote has been a mainstay of presidential campaigning since at least Abraham Lincoln. During a debate, Lincoln told a story about sharing a gingerbread man with a poor neighbor friend, who then remarked, "I don't s'pose anybody on earth likes gingerbread better'n I do—and gets less'n I do."
A Royal Weenie: Seventy years before Michelle Obama's royal blunder—touching Queen Elizabeth II without invitation—another first lady was criticized for not showing proper deference to royalty. During the King and Queen of Britain's 1939 visit to the United States, Eleanor and Franklin D. Roosevelt served them hot dogs at a picnic on the porch of the first couple's Hyde Park home.

BOZEMAN - New details have been released about an avalanche that partially buried and injured a skier in the Bridger Mountains Tuesday afternoon.
At around 2:45 p.m. Tuesday, Bridger Bowl contacted the Gallatin County Sheriff's Office to report that a skier was caught and partially buried in an avalanche on the east side of Bridger Peak, about 1/3 of the way down the face, according reports from the Gallatin National Forest Avalanche Center and the sheriff's department.
The 26-year-old Bozeman man had jumped a small cliff band and triggered the slope on landing, according to the GNFAC. He was buried in a standing position and was able to free an arm and create an air space. Two of his partners booted up and dug him out while a third stayed out of the path and acted as an avalanche guard to warn of further slides.
Two off-duty Bridger Bowl ski patrollers and at least one other person were backcountry skiing with the man at the time, the sheriff's department said. They were able to quickly dig him out and assess his conditions, according to the GNFAC. They were also experienced with helicopter operations and were able to secure a landing zone for the air ambulance.
The man suffered a serious leg injury and was flown to Bozeman Deaconess Hospital.
Sheriff Brian Gootkin noted that the man is very lucky and that it is remarkable to be in the hospital less than an hour from the time of the call after being caught in an avalanche.

Online Reservations
Great food. Wasn't expecting anything exceptional, but was very surprised. The food was prepared well,very flavorful. Live saxophone player added to the ambiance. Service was good. Will definitely go back.
This was our first time to this restaruant. The food was delicious, the service was great. We will be back for sure.
The menu was straigth forward with plenty of variety. I had the quail and it was excellent. Service was good. Noise level was a little too high for normal conversation across the table. Overall it was a very enjoyable dining experience
Texas was a great eating experience for myself and my family. We enjoyed the meal as well as great service. I will definitely be back and will recommend it to my friends and family.
We had dinner at Texas to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Everything was wonderful--food, service, atmosphere--everything! Dale Wamstad, the owner, greeted us personally and even took our picture. Overall, an incredible experience!
My oldest son and I went to Texas one evening while in Richardson for UT Dallas freshman orientation. Our server was not particularly prompt in greeting us, but arrived within a reasonable time. Our Diet Coke arrived in plastic bottles with glasses of ice. Yuck!!! We started with Bang Bang Shrimp as an appetizer... and the Texas Magician. While we had fun with his magic act at our table, he rather interrupted the flow of dinner. Our entrees arrived while we still had most of our appetizer left, and just as he was finishing his show. Likes: Bang Bang Shrimp, Loaded Roasted Chicken Breast, Whipped Potatoes, Burnt Corn, Bread Pudding. Dislikes: Delmonico Steak too fatty, Sauteed Spinach rather bland, and sodas in plastic bottles.
Perfect steak, redfish that melts in your mouth. Great relaxed, casual atmosphere. May be our new favorite restaurant.
First and foremost, the salmon and steaks were excellent at reasonable prices. The variety on the menu is very good and covers a broad range of options. Appetizers and sides are all good, especially the mushrooms. I had the Delmonico (rib-eye cut) and it was superlative. All of our food was prepared well with a special nod to the salmon. We prefer salmon cooked with some moisture left in it rather than of the pink hockey puck variety often delivered. That request was met with the approval of our server. Why odd gem? Well, from the facade and label of steak house, one would generally be prepared for, well, steak house decor. Steer heads and such. The interior design is.... eclectic.... ex centric might fit better. Highly recommended.
This was our first visit to Texas. We enjoyed the food, atmosphere, and entertainment.
Everyone was friendly from the owner to the hostess. Food was awesome. Prices are on the high side but you get what you pay for!
Pleasantly surprised. A new find for us. One thinks you must venture in to Dallas for this type of service and quality. No longer. Texas is in our neighborhood and we will return.
We have been to Texas few times and we haven't been disappointed. Great for large groups or just two people. Food is great and the service is excellent.
We had family in town for my sons wedding and wanted to go someplace authentic to Texas where we could relax and enjot a great meal. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Food, atmosphere and location were fabulous.
Had dinner with our best friends and it was her 50th birthday. She had been wanting to try this restaurant for a long time so I thought this was the perfect time. She and her husband ranted and raived about how good the food was. The ambiance is relaxing and the service was awesome!
Rookie server but it wasn't busy at 9:15 on a Saturday night so no problem flagging him down for stuff (which is what the next table over was doing too). He completely forgot our soup and didn't really have the menu down as to what was what. Good size portions and yummy food!
The meal was really Good - ribs were some of the best I've had. I would highly recommend!
Everything I've tried here has been excellent but the one reason I continually return is for the ribs. I have never found another place that makes ribs as well as here so if you go do yourself a service and try them at least once!
As can be expected with a Dale Wamstad restaurant, some unique menu offerings. Ordered with a little hesitation, the sweet potato jalapeno soup was awesome. We also ordered crabmeat firecrackers which were again both interesting and very enjoyable. Neither were excessively spicy so they were enjoyed by everyone in our group. Every item we ordered was excellent. Very attentive wait staff.
We took some friends that had never been. Dale, the owner, came over and shook hands with each of us. What a nice man. Had the Delmonico steak and it was amazing! We enjoyed every bite and every minute of our dinner!
We have taken a few groups of customers to Texas and they have never let us down. The food is excellent and the staff works hard to accomodate our needs. The owner, Dale, always stops by to welcome us and tell a joke or two.
The family at Texas know what it means to run a first class restaurant. Their staff is well chosen and trained and the experiences is the best. I would highly recommend Texas for business, birthdays, date night, parties whatever. 10 Stars!
Our waitress was Great. We enjoyed her service and the food.
We were a party of 10 sitting in the upstairs private room. We had a great time and as we were in a private room so we were not bothered by any noise from the outside. The room felt very invitng and service was timely. Food was good, but one class under the major steak houses (III forks, Bob's). Wine selection by the glass was limited but nothing to complain about. Overall a very nice experience and i would recommend other people to go there.
My wife and I went to Texas and had a wonderful dining experience. The food and service were outstanding and the ambience of the place is great as well. Not too loud and not too fancy. The live music was very good and they even had a magician who came by the table and did some very impressive tricks. All in all a wonderful experience we hope to repeat very soon.
Great service! Wonderful place to celebrate any occasion ! The magician was awesome. The service is unbelievable. A great dining experience. Oh and the food was marvelous.
My company is located in south Garland so this is very close for us and there is not much else around that is this quality. Not a huge variety but what they do offer is outstanding. The Delmonico rib eye is one of the best anywhere!
the experience we had was pleasant and memorable for our entire party; the service was excellent; the food was delicious. We will definitely dine here again soon. It was slightly loud, but as the evening went on, it became quieter and easier to talk.
Once again, I'm totally impressed with Texas. Great service, FANTASTIC food!
All the food was very good. Steaks were very good, cooked exactly to our order. Waiter was very attentive and helpful while allowing us the privacy to have conversation. Nothing really pop out as a must have but a very good experience. I would not hesitate to return or suggest to this restaurant to friends.
Loved this place the minute we walked in the door, from the design, live music, layout, open kitchen design and hustle and bustle going on inside. The ambience is great! The server was very prompt to greet us, take our beverage order, and allow us time to review the extensive menu. Our appetizer was served promptly, and all four meals came out together for a nice dining experience. While were waiting on our main entrée we were entertained by a magician - who was fabulous! Still have not figured out how he did all of that right in front of us! Delicious dessert was the finale to a wonderful evening with friends. Not the least expensive place in town, but worth it, especially for what you get! Will definitely be back!
My wife and I went there for our anniversary. We ordered the firecracker appetizer which was wonderful and then both of us ordered the 8 oz Filet with mashed potatoes and the burnt corn. The steaks were perfect, tender and cooked perfectly as ordered. The sides were wonderful as well. The staff new of our anniversary and gave us both a free desert and also gave my wife a long stem rose. We met the owner of the restaurant who seemed very appreciative for our business and patronage. Perfect evening dinner..... Highly recommend.
Everything was very good except the noise level. Enjoyed the music; hoewver it could have been softer. The service was outstanding. One suggestion is to serve the bread on a cutting board.
My wife and I had dinner at Texas for our 17 wedding anniversary. I had been there one time previously for a work event and it was my wife's first time. We were seated promptly and and our server was very helpful in helping us decide what we wanted. He did a great job of checking back sufficiently to make sure our needs were met but not too frequently as to be intrusive. We will definitely dine there again in the future.
The staff at the TEXAS Restaurant are the friendliest and most helpful we have ever experienced! The food was fabulous and served beautifully. When I made the reservations, I had asked for a booth in a corner and that is exactly what we got - it was just perfect for being able to visit in the midst of a lot of noise (because it is such a popular place!). We will definitely go back and, in fact, will book a group dinner there soon for my Board of Directors coming from all over the USA. I know they will love the food as well.
We have been to TEXAS several times. The food is very good...we love the super meaty ribs. The service is quite excellent, although, it was quite busy when we were there the other night, so I think we've had even better service other evenings, but overall, it was still very good, and our friends enjoyed it quite well, too. We requested a booth as part of the reservation, and we got a booth in a quiet corner. I think it's nice that when you are selecting wine...if you are not sure which bottle you would like to choose, and have questions...they will send their expert over to help.
Definitely best steak in town rivaling the best steak houses in Dallas. Also, the vegetables and bread were a hit. To top it off, do not forget the dessert!
Not only was the food wonderful we had a gentleman stop by and perform some magic at our table. He was fabulous. The staff were very helpful but did not interrupt our conversation. just quietly just took care of our table. Well done!
This was our third outing to Texas. Everything was outstanding, again. As it was Halloween night, the crowd was relatively small and consisted mostly of empty-nesters like us, making the place quieter than usual. The staff was having fun and looked great on their costumes. I think we have found our Halloween date night tradition for the next few years.
The food was delicious, but the service really made our visit special. Outstanding management, energetic servers, live musician, and even a humorous yet talented magician. Typically this would sound kind of tacky and overwhelming, but it is actually very tastefully orchestrated. Texas would be a good fit for nearly any occasion. Romantic date night, fun outing with friends, and definitely a destination for company parties. Give this place a try, truly a gem.
We had a wonderful dinner. The server was attentive, but did not hover. This was our second time to dine and was much more enjoyable because the music was good, but in the background. Was not overpowering. We could talk and could hear each other and I think this is as important as good food. Will go back.
Everything was great. We had a goop of 15 and the service was excellent!
We were visiting from California and had gotten recommendations for other steakhouses, but decided this was the one we had to come to because of the name- Texas. We were so completely satisfied- from the friendliness of the staff and owner to the delicious appetizers to the mind blowing entrees- and even left with doggie bags after stuffing ourselves. I highly recommend the Bang Bang Shrimp appetizer and the Delmonico Steak with Burnt Corn. Delicious does not do it justice. The owner was very welcoming to us and made us all feel like family! We will definitely be back to this restaurant whenever we are back in the Dallas area, and I will recommend it to anyone who lives in the area!
We took two of our closest friends out for a thank you dinner. Lovely evening, the food and service was great. It was too pricey for us to return. Our bill was $300 and we did not even get dessert.
I was unable to be with my family this year and made reservations for Thanksgiving dinner. Everyone, and I mean everyone, treated me as if I was family. I am gluten intolerant and they made accommodations so I could enjoy my meal. The food was great and the service was outstanding. No question I'll be back!
We were welcomed at the front door and the excellent experience continued from there. Our children were visiting for the Thanksgiving holidays, and we decided to dine at Texas on Saturday evening. We received wonderful service, and the food was outstanding. We really enjoyed the live music and we most certainly will return! A++
What an experience! From the greeting at the door till we left, this was a fantastic night out. All the staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was absolutely delicious! We will be returning again.
I have never been disappointed by any aspect of the dining experience at Texas. Thinking for a long time, the only improvement I can come up with is adding Espresso for after dinner, and a good Ceaser salad needs to be added to the meniu.
Wonderful place to go for a special occasion. Great food and service. Very enjoyable! Will return.
This was our first visit & it was great! We were a group of six so we tried the steak, ribs, and chicken--all were perfect!! The Bang Bang Shrimp and Devil's tongue are very tasty appetizers. The atmosphere, wait staff and entertainment just add to a pleasant evening with friends and family. The six of us would highly recommend Texas!
The reservation process online was very easy and user friendly. We arrived on time and was greeted warmly and taken directly to our table without delay. Our server was Will and he did a fantastic job, especially taking into consideration I am Lactose Intolerant. He worked closely with the Chef to insure that I had a great meal without any issues. The food was great and my wife was amazed by the Loaded Chicken. The Rib Eye I had was amazing and exactly what I expected from a Dale Wamstad restaurant. All things said and done 6 folks had a wonderful dining experience. One that we will experience again and again.

Defeet Woolie Boolie Socks £12.99
A warm, good-value answer to the winter toe blues
Weight 445g Contact www.i-ride.co.uk
American company DeFeet is best known, probably, for its Aerator summer socks, but it does a pretty mean line in winter socks too - the Woolie Boolie is made from every discerning rider's favourite material: Merino.
Or at least, a Merino blend with a bit of nylon, Lycra and maybe even elastic thrown in for good measure. It's all a bit unclear: DeFeet does not specify on its website, and the UK stockists differ in their claims: 64% or 72% Merino? Difficult to say. I suppose the other bits are important to help the sock keep its shape (which it does very well), and the Merino for all the super-material qualities we are told it possesses: warmth, sweat wicking and anti-bacterial (and hence anti-pong) properties. A certain other purveyor of high-quality Merino goods also has a similar blend in its winter socks, so it sounds like both companies have hit on the right idea.
Unlike some winter socks, or hiking socks, say, there's no variation in the Woolie Boolie's thickness - no padded heels or toes. They're quite slim and seem to be knitted unusually - a little bit coarser than some, with the inner characterised by a sort of looped yarn, which gives texture, almost like a towelling material. It's very pleasant, and the Woolie Boolies are certainly warm, performing well in either winter boots or regular shoes and overshoes. In the coldest conditions - all-day rides back when the temperatures were staying below 5C - I wore a normal pair of socks underneath, and never had cause to complain. My circulation is pretty poor, so it's great to be able to ride for hours without a second thought about the extremities. Commuting, even in the icy cold, is a cinch, and they stay impressively stink-free.
I'd recommend Woolie Boolies without any hesitation. They're very good value, and I've taken to wearing them when in civvies, and even around the house. Some people have reported they shrink slightly when washed, but I didn't find this, on a cool wool cycle. My only gripe: they're fairly short in the cuff. 2.4" to be precise. However, there does seem to be a 6" option available, so that'd be your calves sorted too.
A warm, good-value answer to the winter toe blues.

Make and model: Defeet Woolie Boolie Socks
Size tested: Charcoal - L
Tell us what the product is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
Woolen socks for winter riding. Says the website:
"Long before wool became so trendy, we birthed the Woolie Boolie™. When the Woolie Boolie was launched, old Molteni jerseys had long been mothballed. Army Surplus wool pants were undervalued and plentiful. Grandpa's wool sailing sweater and itchy underwear had been digested by Goodwill for at least a decade. The Woolie Boolie re-ignited all of the great memories of wool products past - and brought back none of the shortcomings. Itchy? No. Trusted companion on the most severe missions we go on? Yes. If a pair of socks has ever gotten close to having a true cult following, it's the Woolie Boolie."
Tell us some more about the technical aspects of the product?
Not much to report, Definitely a Merino blend, but other than that, they're socks. You know, heel, toe, sleeve, cuff...

WHAT was once the world's fastest road car has gained a spiritual successor, but don't expect to see the $2 million supercar on Australian roads.
To be unveiled at this year's Paris Motor Show, the flamboyant P1, as the new range-topping McLaren supercar is currently known, is planned to crown the British car maker's line-up when it is launched next year.
The McLaren P1 is expected to sell for close to $2 million at today's exchange rate. But McLaren has not committed to building it with the steering wheel on the right, meaning it can't be registered in Australia.

| Leigh Brackett Have you guys read this author ? I have heard good things about her when i look for other authors from her times. I was thinking about getting a short story collection of hers from an out of town library and wondered what you can tell me about her. What kind of author she was,type of SFF she wrote,famous works. I have only some vague idea about that space hero of hers. |

| Re: Leigh Brackett John Stark was the hero. I haven't actually read that yet, though I've had the later trilogy (The Ginger Star, The Hounds of Skaith, The Reavers of Skaith) for years - I wanted to read the earlier duo first (The Secret of Sinharat, People of the Talisman) and finally found it awhile ago. The first two were originally from 1949 and 1951 and were set in the solar system and, when she returned to it in the 70s, she reset it outside the solar system, naturally enough. She was mainly a Planet Stories sort of author who wrote swashbuckling "planetary romance" influenced by Burroughs. She collaborated with Bradbury some, I think. She could also turn her hand to a little more austere space opera. But she's probably best in the planetary romance or weird sort of tale where her lush visual writing style could have full play. I've probably most enjoyed The Best of Leigh Brackett but I've also read and enjoyed The Sword of Rhiannon (planetary romance), and The Starmen of Llyrdis and The Big Jump (space opera-ish), and also have The Nemesis from Terra to read. She was also married to the SF author Edmond Hamilton. -- Oh yeah: I think her most famous single work is probably The Long Tomorrow. I haven't had any interest in that since it's supposed to be a pared-down post-apocalyptic novel and I don't generally care for those, but it's well regarded. Oh, and of course, she's written the screenplays to many films, usually famous westerns, but is credited with the initial take on The Empire Strikes Back, though she died just before it was done. Huh. Maybe there's even more she's done, since I keep thinking of stuff, but I think those are the main highlights. Last edited by J-Sun; 6th June 2009 at 03:09 AM.

| Re: Leigh Brackett J-Sun has hit most of the high points, I think. And if you want to try out a good sample of her work, go for The Best of Leigh Brackett, which covers a fair amount of her career, iirc. Oh, and both she and Ed Hamilton were friends of and influences on Michael Moorcock. To quote from the "Author's Introduction" to The Golden Barge: Quote:

| Re: Leigh Brackett I'll endorse what jd and J-Sun have already said. One of the very best writers of action adventure SF there was. My first intro to her came via the Skaith (John Stark) books, which I loved when I read them in my late teens. A few years ago (2005) Gollancz did themselves proud by releasing a great fat volume, Sea-Kings of Mars and Otherworldly Stories, containing the pick of her earlier Mars and Venus tales as part of their 'Fantasy Masterworks' series. It includes one story co-written with Bradbury. This book is still available and I'd highly recommend it. Good old fashioned 'Planetary Romance': action and adventure throughout. |

Heh Sea Kings of Mars is the reason i made this thread, thats the library book i can get of hers. The fact that it was in Fantasy masterworks told me that might be a good place to start. Does collect it a John Stark story ? | |

| Re: Leigh Brackett By the way, Connavar: As a reader of Chandler, you may be interested to know that she co-wrote the screenplay for the adaptation of The Big Sleep (1946). Her co-writers were Jules Furthman and -- William Faulkner.... http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0102824/ |

| Re: Leigh Brackett I can definitely recommend Sea-Kings of Mars. It's similar in tone to Edgar Rice Burrough's Barsoom stories, but considerably better written. A year or two again I thought planetary romance might be coming back into style, but it hasn't happened yet. But if you do want to try that particular sub-genre, then Brackett is the best at it. She also wrote some crime novels, I believe. |

| Re: Leigh Brackett Good to know. Plus she must be good at crime novels too cause not everyone is allowed to write script for Chandler famous book specially when its other writers. I have an interest in the so called Sword and planet and Brackett sounded good to me. |

| Re: Leigh Brackett Once again the national library catalogue sucked, Sea-Kings of Mars has not been availible for years they just didnt remove it from the site. Not a nice email to get when i was looking forward to read the book. Now my only choice of her works to get is the bookmooch copies of The Starmen of Llyrdis,The Halfling and other stories. Anyone read them ? You dont want use your bookmooch points of books you dont where they rank among her works. |

| Re: Leigh Brackett Well, I like The Starmen of Llyrdis, but I don't know that it's the best introduction to her. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with much of The Halfling and Other Stories but I figure that'd be the better introduction of the two if it's at all well selected, as giving a variety of her work - looks like, along with the title story, you'll get a Stark story from Planet Stories and quite a bit from Merwin's Startling and Thrilling Wonder. Still, you might want to hold out for the Ace double of Stark stories, The Sword of Rhiannon, or the Ballantine "Best" or something. But The Halfling could work out, too. |

| Re: Leigh Brackett Im seriously book broke otherwouse i would that Stark book from Planet Stories publisher that has several of her works,other classic fantasy,sf authors like Kuttner,CL Moore. It doesnt have to be her best works, if i like reading her it would suck if i didnt read her best works in new paperbacks instead old battered books i didnt buy. Im only looking for an introduction of the kind of stories she is good at. I will get Halfling collection because as you say it has her famous hero,others. |

ReplyDelete These are some of the best maternity photos I've seen! You look wonderful! Thanks for sharing your life with us :) (I'm 10 weeks pregnant with our second child and you've been another source of encouragement for me to continue working out through the pregnancy. I wish more of our society looked at pregnancy [though I didn't with my first child] as a time to STAY healthy, not indulge in crazy eating.) Your big day is almost here... exciting!

Historically, the �environmental movement� has focused on forests, reefs, rivers and other ecosystems that can and have existed separately from human beings. But why not consider cities?
If an ecosystem is considered a unit � a biological community and its physical environment, then an urban ecosystem is, simply put, people in a city. But urban ecosystems aren�t simple. While humans are the dominant species that control the physical structure of the urban ecosystem, they are not the only species. And urban ecosystems aren�t all natural. They are dominated by humanbuilt environments with buildings and roads and water and power supply systems, built mostly on pavement and other hard surfaces that don�t absorb rainfall. Cities were built to meet human needs, often by controlling nature and sheltering humans from the natural world. Even our parks, open spaces, lakes, streams and other somewhat �natural� features in cities often have been changed signi.cantly from their natural states. They have been landscaped, repopulated with non-native species, dredged, graded and recon.gured. Urban ecosystems support commerce, culture, education, industry and science. They also generate wealth, waste and consumption of resources. The effects on the environment are profound, both in urban areas and in surrounding ecosystems.
Urban ecosystems bring beauty to the city, but their importance goes well beyond aesthetics. They also protect public health and deliver �ecosystem services� that would otherwise need to be provided by expensive humanengineered systems. For example, according to a 1999 study by American Forests, Seattle�s urban forest � our street trees as well as our forested parks, greenbelts and natural areas � provides $42 million worth of absorbed air pollution and filtered storm water per year!
The world, and the ecosystems it supports, is more fragile than we once thought. But we as individuals can take positive steps to preserve our urban ecosystems. Personal choices, however small, can in.uence your family, your neighbor, your book club, your co-workers and your government representatives. These choices can even in.uence the decisions of large corporations.
This guide will explore those relationships and how individual actions can make a difference.
We�ve presented a list of personal choices � �101 Eco-Actions� � that can have a positive impact on Seattle�s urban ecosystem. These actions have been carefully selected for their potential positive impacts on our urban ecosystem. They all apply to Seattle and are tied to significant local resources that provide information, education and support.
Eco-actions described in this section are not necessarily listed in order of importance, but are assigned a benefit of between three and five stars. Since all of the eco-actions listed here are considered important, each merits at least three stars.

Obstetric and gynecology services available at:PeaceHealth Medical Group OB/GYN.
We also have Family Medicine with Obstetrics providers at:◊ Fisher's Landing◊ Westside/Main St.
Obstetrics and gynecology is a medical specialty centered around the care of women.
Obstetrics focuses on childbirth, providing prenatal care and pregnancy support along with postpartum care.
Gynecology is focused on general female healthcare, including the diagnosis and treatment of disorders and diseases of the female reproductive system. For example, gynecology includes treatment of pelvic floor relaxation disorders, including urinary incontinence.
A specialist in obstetrics is called an obstetrician, while a specialist in gynecology is a gynecologist. Since training in these two specialties often happens concurrently, it is not unusual for a physician to be both an obstetrician and a gynecologist. Such a physician is often referred to as an OB/GYN doctor.

Anna Sharkey scores but GB lose 7-1 to China in Paralympic goalball
7:54pm Thursday 30th August 2012 in London Olympics 2012 - Latest News
ANNA Sharkey got GB's goal in their opening goalball match of the Paralympics but it was not enough to stop the team slipping to a 7-1 defeat.
She netted when Fengqing Chen carried the ball into her own net in the 14th minute with the score 2-0 to the world champions.
But GB were unable to build on the lifeline and conceded a further five goals in the second half.
"It was disappointing to lose but China are a great team and all you can do is take a deep breath and continue to work as a team," said the 24-year-old physio therapist from Westcliff .
"The problem was the Chinese had the momentum but we will hope to get back on track against Finland tomorrow (Friday)."
Sharkey's brother Michael scored the GB's men's team goal in their 11-1 defeat to Lithuania earlier in the day but Sharkey, who works at Southend Hospital , made light of her goal.
"Every goal is for the team," she added. "It's a nice feeling but you have to think of the big picture."
But Sharkey admitted the welcome the team received from the partisan crowd in the Copper Box was "overwhelming".
"It's a fantastic experience," she added. "You have all those people there and they are calling your name, I just loved it.
"Even when China scored and things were not going our way they were still cheering us.
"The sense of occasion is overwhelming but it is still a game of goalball and you have got to keep your focus."
GB matched the world champions in the opening stages, with both teams blocking well.
China took the lead in the seventh minute through Ruixue Wang's penalty throw which beat the solitary Sharkey at the bottom left-hand corner.
And the Chinese doubled their advantage in the ninth minute when Shan Lin's throw rolled over Jessica Luke and into the left of the GB goal for a 2-0 half-time lead.
Anna Sharkey got GB back into the game in the 14th minute as Fengqing Chen blocked her shot but carried it over her goalline.
There was an immediate time-out called by China, who restored their two-goal advantage with the first throw after the restart, when Chen's throw went in off Georgina Bullen.
China extended their lead four minutes later when a Wang effort went in off Bullen.
Wang got her hat-trick to make it 5-1 in the 20th minute when her penalty rolled into the lef corner beyond Sharkey's dive.
Two minutes later bagged her third goal of the match with another effort that went in off Bullen.
And in the final minute the Chinese added a seventh goal as the GB team were unable to keep out Wang's throw.
GB made a substitution, bringing on Sydney 2000 Paralympian Louise Simpson into the centre to replace Bullen, before the final buzzer sounded.
The Brits new defending champs China were always going to be a tough nut to crack but had hopes of sneaking a result against them.
But Sharkey added: "It was a heavy loss against the world champions. But we worked hard and the foundations are there for the future."
