"Off to a good start for the Kelly group"
There are things I really liked about this book. One is the introduction to the Kelly clan. A strong family unit of tough rough and alpha males that remind you that family comes first and family rules. The main story of Ethan and Rachel is troublesome when it starts but is filled with hope at the end. The best thing about this story is it makes you want to find out more about the Kelly brothers. And yes there is mystery danger and romance for all. If you can get this one sale then that's when I would get this book.
"Twice the Heat"
Well let's just turn up the fire and heat. And that is what happens with the second book of this series. Book 2 has more action and the heat is definitely turned with Vlad and Leila relationship. More interesting characters are introduced which has you thinking what 's next. You finally start to feel the fire between Vlad and Leila. A sexy strong alpha male who finally has to work a little for the woman he loves.
Yes get it if you liked book 1. I for one am looking forward to book 3.
"At last Mencheres"
The second spin off from the Cat and Bones series. What I enjoyed most about this book is Kira and how she handles one of the most power vampires within this paranormal world. What comes out of this book is a wonderful love story. The ending is a little lame but still the overbook is worth read.
"Spade what a gentlemen"
A spin off from the Cat and bones series this one doesn't disappoint. IF you enjoyed meeting both Spade and Denise from the previous series. Then you will most likely enjoy this romantic sexy and strange tale. There is romance humor action and adventure that makes this one an interesting listen from beginning to end.
"OMG what's next?"
I realize some relationships have their ups and downs but for Cat and Bones, I found myself in this one saying come on. Enough is enough. I mean really don't these two deserve a break. Which I suppose that is what J Frost wants us to feel? Frustration and exhilaration. Again if you enjoy this couple and all the characters in their world then this is another good installment.
"Destined for forever"
What can I say if you didn't like the first three books then don't bother? But if you have become a fan of the crazy ongoing relationship of Cat and Bones then climb on board for the ride. Because a ride you'll get. This book comes down to choices for Cat and Bones and with any stormy relationship with fiery personalities there are all of those outside challenges and influences that make that choice more intense.
Yes this worth a credit
"To be or not to be a vampire"
All I can say is the ride continues. And it is a good one more. The heat turns up and the drama continues. Cat's life is changing and the challenges are more intense. She'll need to decide which world she really wants to live in. Book 3 doesn't disappoint. Yes it worth a credit.
"Catnip for the brave"
This second installment doesn't fail but actually exceeds expectations. Just when book one left you with "I can't believe it" book 2 starts you off with come on I know something is going to happen. And of course it does with Bones coming back full force back into Cats life. And this he is playing for keeps. Cat has many decisions to make but Bones is definitely her man. Hot sexy scenes take up into intense relationship that is the core of Cat and Bones. This series is full of adventure and plenty of action that has wanting to know what is next. Yes yes yes use a credit or buy it is worth it.
"Bad to the Bones"
This is one of the best starts to an awesome paranormal romantic action filled series. Cat is a tough as nails heroine and Bones is bad with a heart of gold. What can I say except this one series you just don't want to miss out on. The heated relationship between Cat and Bones relationship is full of challenges and danger but beyond that we are taken into a different vampiric world with twist and turns that leave you wanting more. Yes this is definitely worth a credit.
"Still lukewarm for Shadow Ops"
Book 2 brings more to the table. But it just doesn't really do it for me. The trek through the VA mountains in the middle of blizzard is drawn out and to me lacks the emotionally drama that the elements would definitely cause. Basically it was more of boy I really like you but I am afraid to tell you. And I won't trust anyone because my husband was shot in the line of fire. And then there are just stupid things that happen like, oh the bad guys are after us but let me stay in town and get captured.
What is disappointing is I like the characters Ryan and Vinnie but I didn't like how the story developed. The premise of the story was there, it just needed I guess better editing?? Still hanging in with the series because I am interested in the potential story of the leader of this covert group Rose. I hope the author goes for it with all the grit and passion this serious has the potential to reach.
"Barely Chasing Shadows"
This is potentially a good start to action romance series. But then it falls just short of the mark. The two main characters instance attraction might be the problem. I would have liked to have had a slower and more intense build to their romance. There was potential to keep us on the edge but the romance seemed to be rushed. I like the strong female lead KC and Chase as the alpha male in pursuit. Maybe it is the development of the bad guys that would have helped. But there is potential. And the supporting characters are definitely intriguing. If the book is on sale it is worth a listen. Let's hope the author can provide more depth to the next book. Compared to KGI series by Maya Banks this one is a little lukewarm.

Epidemic Diseases:
LMHI Guideline for Clinical Data Collection
Historically, homeopathy always acts very well in pandemic situations. To confirm this fact nowadays, homeopaths have to collect the clinical data of their influenza patients.
The first aim is to define the "genius epidemicus", first at the office of each MD, later on in each country and finally worldwide. Taking some time for this analysis is winning time for next consultations to everybody.
The second aim will be to have the possibility to do a retrospective survey on the pandemic situation when it will be passed.
Therefore I suggest that all homeopaths in the world would try to follow a same framework or at least do not forget to write down some useful data that could be lost retrospectively if we do not think at it now.
In Warsaw, we will discuss this proposal and later on we will try to organize the data collection worldwide on a fully free and anonymous basis. The role of LMHI NVP as promoters is of course the key stone of this proposal.
Thanks for your involvement into homeopathy.

Low Carb Living ~ Peanut Butter Cookies - Low Carb Style
First off I have to confess that I have a PROBLEM with peanut butter. I love it. I would (and have) chosen to forgo a meal just so I can eat a big ol' spoonful of it (especially if there is also a cup of coffee involved). I really try to not have it in the house -- especially if I am in lose mode, not just maintain mode. That said, SOMETIMES it is nice to have a little treat. These cookies are the BOMB!! - BUT they are a treat - not for everyday consumption. I wrote that for MY benefit :)
Peanut Butter Cookies – Low-Carb Style

1/2 teaspoon pure Vanilla extract
1 cup Splenda or 1/2 C. Splenda 1/2 C. Brown Sugar Twin

So glad to find your wonderful blog! I saw you on Pinterest and followed the crumbs... this recipe and your other low carb ones will be such a help to me on this diet! Thank you, come over to Granny Mountain for a visit..
♥ Sonny ♥ said...:
I too love peanut butter. I have a small amount on my flax seed muffin so all totally that comes to 7 carbs and fulfills my need for the peanut butter taste..
if ya ever want to try the flaxseed muffins just google search- flax seed muffin in a coffee mug:) easy peasy- done in 80 seconds and so yummy. while the recipe doesnt call for it I add cinnamon to mine.. I even have these on induction and still stated burning lavendar in 3 days and purple in 6. drink lots of water though cause flax needs to fluid to glide on through..
I'll be giving these cookies a try. thanks for the recipe.

Kathleen said...:
They look great! Good for GF too? I have a friend who has celiac, I could make these for her.
Enjoy your Sunday!
Linda @ Lemon Drop said...:
Only 2 net carbs? fantastic !!! cannot wait to make these.
What PB do you use????
What PB do y'all use?
And where could I find sugarfree PB?
What PB do you use????
Gail @ Faithfulness Farm said...:
chinita -- I hope you check back here because I was unable to respond to you via email. Personally I use Skippy Natural Peanut Butter -- it is the lowest of the commercial brands in carbs -- 4 net carbs per 2 Tbsp serving. To go lower than that you'd either need to be in a larger market and able to buy specialty products or make your own. I like the Skippy.

- Great Bag! .....Better than expected.
- Rating
My 1st thought looking at the bag online was "wow", expensive! After I got the bag I thought "wow", well worth the price. Several small and large pockets make for good organization. Good access to main compartment. Great work, day, or overnight pack. Quality throughout. Only caution would be the black bag I got looks sharp, but it's harder to see contents with the dark interior of the pack.....so pack a flashlight.

- I was wrong with my last review
- Rating
I checked to see if my review was printed. It was. Then I saw a photo of the pack from the video, and the straps were plenty long. I checked the bag again and I found that I was tightening the straps the wrong way. I'm sorry for the inaccurate review, bit from it I learned that I CAN use the bag. thank you

- Straps are too short
- Rating
the pack was fine when it was empty. I bought it to be a pack when I traveled amtrak or Greyhound. I was all packed, my suitcase, my Klein tool bag, and my Lumberjack pack. With the help of a friend I got the pack on my back, but that was the last time on the trip. I am sorry to say the pack is useless to me, since the straps are too short. I cannot put my arm through the second strap without help.

- Great Child Bag!
- Rating
We have had our Lumber Jack for over 5 years now and it looks just a good as when we got it. We use it as a "baby" bag and it works great. I love that the back zips all the way open making it easy to find what you need. You can fit plenty of stuff for all the family. It is great for daily use or for vacations and can also be use for day trips. The one minor issue is that on the outside pouch sometimes the straps don't hold the flap down far enough and items can be exposed. We have never lost anything, but the flap could come down further. I love the look of the straps though. Overall great bag for a lot of purposes, I would get it again for sure.

- Best daypack to have.
- Rating
I picked this up with the side pockets, they will hold a Nalgene bottle. I use this for my day pack when I'm in the Boundary Waters. It has lots of dividers to hold everything perfect. Maps, guides, bug spray, matches, camera, etc. It's the best bag I've found so far to use for this purpose. Around town I fill it to go fishing with gear and food. Put two bottles in the pockets and I'm good to go. I find a pack works better when your fishing off the banks, you have all your gear with you and it's easy to carry.

Is 585 coming out this week?
I wonder but is izanami stil active after kabuto attacked ans if so why did itachi apologize to saske
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
says on the main page with the new anime episode "its golden week and no manga this week.
i thought that was last week!
Damn, those Japanese have too many holidays.
First, it was last week, and now it's this week too!
nice one
It was just ok.
Danzo's plan + oro's manipulation = bad kabuto. When will this flashbacks end........
Im tired of seeing Kabuto...
What is that weird golden textbar on the site above that says
"It is Golden Week in Japan, Naruto Manga will arrive next week!"?
Anyways, does anyone know when the next chapter will be there?:sy:
welll the timing for flashbacks sucks as usual... flashback is for dying people... drop 2-3 weeks of flashback when kabuto is taking his final breath... nice contend tho so a solid 4+
Kabuto is just like Danzo
Kishi is just drawing out this kabuto back story to think of what do write for the next chapters imo. I'll be glad when this kabuto scene is over and we go back to tobi/naruto or the kages/madara
i want manga i want manga i want manga, caliburn is a bad boy, i want manga, i want manga, i want manga, i want manga, i want manga, i want manga, i want manga, i want manga, i want manga, i want manga, i want manga, i want manga, i want manga, i want manga, i want manga, i want manga, i want manga, i want manga, i want manga, i want manga
I thought Golden week was last week??
I like seeing all of the backstories. They are sad but it's one of those things that makes you want to see the sadness instead of the action.
Still awaiting on Izanami.
well-played by the writer now he will make sure that everyone will read kabut's past even if they r not interested cuz it's in the middle of an insane fight
the next chapter will not be the end of the fight but they will continue it
Izanami sucks..!!
Maybe Kabuto is already under Izanami, hence, the flashbacks.
may b there is nothing called iznami and it is just a trick from the smart itachi
i believe that all those flashbacks were triggered by itachis izanami. i think becuz itachi said that izanami decides fate kabuto will turn good.
voted 5. it was really a good flashback chap
Originally Posted by sageXXreborn

where is that picture of yours from? wich chapter?
i cant remember of the biju flying to be the moon...
ugh, i have had enough with the flash backs, when does the fighting start up again?

Mitch McConnell and the Republicans filibustered increasing the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour – even though it would help lift millions of workers out of poverty.
It's disgusting: the GOP would rather demonize President Obama and block every single piece of his agenda than lift up millions of struggling workers. We need to show them we REFUSE to stand for this.
On New Year's Day, unemployment benefits expired and over one million Americans lost their lifelines.
President Obama and Senate Democrats have a plan to extend these crucial benefits. But John Boehner and the Tea Party Republicans are already threatening to block the bill.
Add your name: Demand that Boehner and the Republicans pass unemployment benefits.
Thanks to the Citizens United Supreme Court decision, big corporations and outside special interest groups have been able to spend millions of dollars in elections with no disclosure. It's time to fight back and ensure that the voices of ordinary Americans are not drowned out by corporate cash.
Add your name to support action to reverse Citizens United and return our democracy to its rightful owners: people and ideas, not corporations and money.
New immigration legislation would finally bring a path to citizenship for children, those defending our country, and others living every day in the shadows.
But radical Republicans are threatening to completely block President Obama's only chance at immigration reform.
Stand behind President Obama and Democrats in support of comprehensive immigration reform.
Time and time again, Republicans in Congress obstruct equal rights for women.
We must do everything in our power to protect women's rights and women's health.
Stand with Democrats: Tell Republican leaders to stop their War on Women.

BMC Racing Team's Mathias Frank figured prominently in a nine-man breakaway Sunday that ultimately shattered on the final climb up the slopes of Mount Etna.
Tschopp Best Finisher
On the first of two ascents of Europe's most active volcano, Frank was narrowly outsprinted at the summit by Filippo Savini (Colnago-CSF Inox). "Mathias showed great motivation and power today," BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Fabio Baldato said. "And Johann Tschopp did a great job to hang with the GC favorites as long as possible." Tschopp finished 27th, 2:21 behind stage winner Alberto Contador (Saxo Bank-Sungard), who took the overall lead. Tschopp is best-placed for the BMC Racing Team in 24th overall, 4:23 behind.

Pastoral takes pride in carrying an array of various types of cheese to serve your gourmet needs. Whether it's pillowy goat cheese, salty Manchego cheese or crumbly Cabot cheese wrapped in cloth, our carefully chosen selections showcase the bounty of artisans who produce hand-crafted types of cheese from around the world. Rustic and traditional French and Italian cheeses may garner the most love, and rightly so, but here at Pastoral we also believe in a sourcing a wide variety of sustainably produced local cheeses from right here in the USA.
Asiago Fresco$6.99This cheese is named for the town of Asiago in northern Veneto, where it is made, and Fresco, meaning fresh or young. Aged only a few weeks, the cheese retains its creamy texture and sweet, slightly tangy flavor. The richness in flavor and healthful qualities come from the cow's diet of diverse Alpine grasses. As a name protected, artisan product, Italy's DOC (Controlled Origin Denomination) requires this cheese to be made from this premium cow's milk, making Asiago Fresco great for snacking, melting or pairing with wine and salumi.

Taleggio$7.99This creamy treasure is bulging with beefy, fruity goodness for any cheese board. One of northern Italy's best kept secrets, it is becoming a favorite of chefs when melted over polenta or in cream sauces. Learn More

The Waldorf-Astoria offers top-of-the-line luxury in Chicago. With an intimate, boutique feel -- but all the amenities of a large hotel -- the 188-room Waldorf caters to leisure and business travelers. Sleek rooms feature neutral tones, contemporary furnishings, and gorgeous marble bathrooms that offer separate showers and soaking tubs, as well as TVs inset in the mirrors. Highlights include the upscale restaurant Balsan, a top-notch spa, and health club with extensive services and an indoor lap pool. Plus, the hotel's location in the swanky Gold Coast neighborhood puts it within walking distance of upscale shops, restaurants, and attractions.
This 339-room Trump is one of the top luxury hotels in Chicago, located in a modern glass tower right on the Chicago river and within easy walking distance of the Magnificent Mile. The sleek, glossy decor is subdued and tasteful, and every amenity -- from the Michelin-rated restaurant, to the big indoor pool, to bright fitness center, to the spa -- is first-rate. The huge, tasteful rooms have limestone bathrooms with soaking tubs and floor-to-ceiling windows (often with phenomenal views). Only The Peninsula and The Waldorf can compare.
The Peninsula Chicago, a classic 339-room Chicago hotel right on the Magnificent Mile, exudes elegance and luxury -- from the bright and welcoming interior decor, to the immaculate indoor pool and sunbathing terrace. The natural light and warm colors combined with dark wood accents make it feel simultaneously airy and cozy. Rooms, though a tad generic for this caliber of hotel, are high-tech, featuring iPod docks, flat-screen TVs, control panels to adjust the lighting, and deep soaking tubs with personal TVs.
The James is one of Chicago's top luxury hotels, and is located in River North, a block from the Magnificent Mile. The public spaces are modern and sometimes quirky, while the 297 rooms are crisp and clean. They're minimally decorated without being stark, and some have clever design to maximize space, as well as big flat-screen TVs, impressively stocked minibars, and comfortable beds. Bathrooms are modern and minimalist too, but not all have tubs and some are on the small side. In addition to a well-equipped fitness room, the James also has two art galleries along with art and sculpture present throughout the lobby. The hotel is also home to the excellent restaurant, David Burke's Primehouse, and the Primehouse Bar. Appealing hotel extras include a free car service, which can come in handy as parking is quite pricey.
The luxurious 415-room Sofitel Chicago, two blocks from the Magnificent Mile, is noteworthy for its sleek modern decor and excellent service. It's a haven for business travelers, with plush white beds in the bright rooms, and everything -- the fitness center, business center, and room service -- available around-the-clock.
Opened in late 2010, this upscale hotel is housed in a historic neoclassical-style building with crystal chandeliers and a grand staircase in the lobby. But sophisticated rooms are thoroughly modern, and big, elegant bathrooms have separate showers and soaking tubs. The Loop location is convenient for business travelers, and the pool and 24-four fitness center is top-notch.
This 434-room hotel sits atop an upscale shopping mall right off the Magnificent Mile. The luxurious spa, the wonderful four-lane lap pool, the great design, and the outstanding address could make it one of the nicest hotels in town -- but the rooms fall a tad short — even after a multimillion dollar renovation in 2010 — with sophisticated but somewhat generic decor, some outdated amenities (such as CD players instead of iPod docks), and shower/tub combos in many bathrooms. The cuisine at the on-site brasserie doesn't wow, but the beautiful city views through its floor-to-ceiling windows do.
The 346-room Four Seasons Chicago is located on floors 32 to 46 of a limestone-and-glass skyscraper along the Magnificent Mile, atop an upscale shopping center. The hotel boasts a gorgeous indoor pool with a skylight and great views, an expansive spa and fitness center with modern machines, and a restaurant helmed by Michelin-star Executive Chef Kevin Hickey. Guest rooms boast phenomenal views, and were updated in 2012 with modern decor and art fixtures. It's one of the city's nicest hotels, and the location near the historic Water Tower and the Hancock Observatory can't be beat. But bathrooms -- most with shower/tub combos rather than separate walk-in showers and soaking tubs --are a tad less luxurious than you'd expect in this price range (though still lovely).
The elegant 306-room Millennium Knickerbocker Hotel is a good value, considering its location half a block from the Magnificent Mile. It's true that the historic property doesn't have many amenities (only a 24-hour fitness center and a 24-hour business center), and the rooms are on the small side — but they're nicer than those at the similarly priced Sutton Place, and come with big flat-screen TVs and Frette linens.
The 443-room Allerton is one of the few hotels right on the Magnificent Mile, and its rooms -- with soothing blue-and-white color schemes, iPod docks, and flat-screen TVs -- are more modern and stylish than those at the neighboring Omni and Intercontinental hotels. But unlike its neighbors the Allerton lacks a pool, and its rooms offer significantly less space than the Omni's generic two-room suites.

DTF Commander Capt. Mark Mayton said C&A Tire, 504 N. Tennessee St. in Cartersville, was the target of the warrant about 5:30 p.m. after a monthlong operation. "[The warrant was] based on the illegal sale of prescription drugs — schedule II [narcotics]."
Mayton declined to comment further as the investigation is ongoing.
The DTF was assisted by Cartersville police and Homeland Security Investigations. Agents seized drugs and recovered a firearm.
Six people were arrested — five on drug charges and one on an immigration charge.
Drug bust at Bartow Motel
On Wednesday, Jan. 9, an officer from the Cartersville Police Department was dispatched to the Bartow Motel located on Joe Frank Harris Parkway in reference to occupants selling and using illegal drugs in their room.
Bryan Sanders opened the motel door for the officer and, according to the police report, was taken by surprise. He reportedly jumped back, visibly shaken and appeared very nervous. When asked who the room belonged to, Sanders advised it was his. The officer explained to Sanders that he had been dispatched in reference to possible illegal activity from his room. Sanders said this was not
the case.
Two other men were in the room, Kenneth McCaskill and Mark Carter. Carter was seen going into the bathroom and tampering around with the toilet. The officer asked all three men to exit the room and proceeded to pat them down. Sanders told the officer he was on probation for possession of cocaine.
Sanders and Carter began shaking when they handed the officer their identification. Carter and McCaskill began to sweat. The officer then asked Sanders if he could search his room for anything illegal. Carter agreed, but then became indecisive and said no after both Carter and McCaskill reportedly shook their heads and mouthed "no" to Sanders. The officer asked Sanders if he remembered signing a Fourth Amendment waiver right, as he was on probation. He remembered.
Sanders asked the officer if he could get his phone, the officer said no. Sanders then placed his hands together, out in front of him with arms stretched as to place handcuffs on him. The officer told him to "just wait." The officer told Sanders if he wanted to speak to him before he entered his room, now would be a good time. Sanders became visibly upset and stated "it's not mine," a few times and began to make noises. According to the police report, when the officer turned to enter the room, Sanders said, "It is in the drawer but it is not mine."
The officer located a bag of marijuana and a blue bag containing marijuana in the nightstand drawer. Also in the nightstand was Sander's Social Security card, a receipt for paying for probation for Sanders and some change. All suspects advised the drugs were not theirs and were placed under arrest.
Once placed in the officer's car, Carter chose to waive his Miranda rights and told the officer he had just arrived at Sander's room when Sanders and McCaskill asked him to try the cocaine. He went on to say that he had just begun smoking the cocaine when the officer knocked on the motel door. He went to the bathroom and dumped the cocaine pipe in the toilet and flushed. Carter agreed to give a voluntary urine sample but said, "I will [explicit] hot." The urine sample came back positive with cocaine in his system.
Carter was charged with possession of cocaine, possession of cocaine by ingestion and possession of marijuana. McCaskill was charged with possession of cocaine and possession of marijuana. Sanders was charged with possession of cocaine and possession of marijuana.
House shot with paintballs
On Wednesday, Jan. 9, at 6:41 p.m., a deputy was dispatched to Wesley Mill Drive, Adairsville, in reference to criminal trespass.
According to a Bartow County Sherriff's Office incident report, the deputy met with the complainant who stated that someone shot his residence with a paintball gun. He went on to explain that he heard something that sounded like someone knocking at the front door, but then the noise went away. When he returned home from work, he noticed the markings on his residence.
The deputy observed eight multi-colored markings on the residence, which appeared to be paintballs.
Vehicle vandalized
At 11:09 a.m., Wednesday, Jan. 9, a deputy was dispatched to Ga. Highway 20, in reference to criminal trespass.
The deputy met with the complainant who stated that someone had wrapped his vehicle in plastic wrap and threw eggs, which broke on the hood of the vehicle. The suspect also allegedly wrapped the vehicle in toilet paper and wrote on the windows.
The complainant told the deputy he did not know who the suspect could be because he had no problems with anyone. He did not wish to pursue charges, and at the time of the report was unsure if any damage was done to his vehicle.

A question not uncommon to my inbox these days from new and old fans of Made To Measure, NY. Well…I'm going to make this short and sweet:
For a year and a half I have been working on an 18 song concept album called Songs From The Sea (of you and of me). I finally finished it and it's become my magnum opus. Below you can hear 4 selections from the album.
It's only $5 per copy.
I don't know if I will be back to blogging any time soon. But I have ideas. It's not that I don't love clothes anymore. I just need to see other people.
Be well,

Your friendly neighborhood astrophysicist in defense of Science and Reason.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
FCC's net neutrality inbox is already stuffed with 647k messages, get yours in by Tuesday (via wilwheaton)
Send a kind reminder of the importance of neutrality on the Internet.
Carl Sagan, Cosmos (via whats-out-there)
Let's take time to smell the flowers, okay fellow butterflies?(via jtotheizzoe)
I've never been female. But I have been black my whole life. I can perhaps offer some insight from that perspective. There are many similar social issues related to access to equal opportunity that we find in the black community, as well as the community of women in a white male dominate society…
When I look at — throughout my life — I've known that I wanted to do astrophysics since I was 9 years old…I got to see how the world around me reacted to my expressions of these ambitions. All I can say is, the fact that I wanted to be a scientist, an astrophysicist was hands down the path of most resistance through the forces of society.
Anytime I expressed this interest, teachers would say, 'Oh, don't you wanna be an athlete?' I want to become someone that was outside of the paradigm of expectations of the people in power. Fortunately, my depth of interest of the universe was so deep and so fuel enriched that everyone of these curve balls that I was thrown, and fences built in front of me, and hills that I had to climb, I just reach for more fuel, and I just kept going.
Now, here I am, one of the most visible scientists in the land, and I wanna look behind me and say, 'Where are the others who might have been this,' and they're not there! …I happened to survive and others did not simply because of forces of society that prevented it at every turn. At every turn.
…My life experience tells me that when you don't find blacks, when you don't find women in the sciences, I know that these forces are real, and I had to survive them in order to get where I am today.
So before we start talking about genetic differences, you gotta come up with a system where there's equal opportunity, then we can have that conversation.
Neil DeGrasse Tyson in response to a question posed by Lawrence Summers, former Treasury Security and Harvard University President
"What's up with chicks and science?"
Are there genetic differences between men and women, explain why more men are in science.

My wife and I have two adopted children—our boy and girl were both born in Russia. Before we brought either one home, other adoptive parents warned us of two distinct challenges.
The first challenge was surviving the process. Between the two adoptions, we both needed medical clearance twelve times. The Federal and Colorado Bureaus of Investigation checked, re-checked, then checked our backgrounds again. We filled out reams of forms, including the emotionally-taxing "Type of Child" form. ("No— we can't accept a child with hydrocephalus," "Maybe—we will consider a child with a missing limb or who is deaf or blind," "Yes—we will accept a boy or girl born with a cleft palette.")
The good news is the adoption process came to an end. The second challenge has proven to be our greatest challenge: raising a multi-cultural (or transcultural or transracial) family.
Before we even brought our daughter home from Russia, we knew that we— as new mom and dad—would need to adjust, and we also knew that, first our daughter and later our son, would need time to get used to their new environment. Luckily, our social worker and kind, adoptive parents shared a few not-so-usual parental questions to consider:
Remember, parents, you have to adjust to this new parenting situation and face the aforementioned challenges. But your children have to answer questions about living in a transracial or transcultural family on a daily basis. It's a formidable task, and you must ready them.
So start—from the moment you bring that bundle of joy home—by making your home a safe and loving environment. Talk to them about it, and don't think that it is ever too early to start. Many books are available from your local bookstore or library that can help make this introduction. If you're thinking about adopting an older child, invade their privacy; find out what other kids or adults say, and make sure they are secure as a part of your family.
Most importantly, make Ephesians 1:4-6 your family's mantra, mission and prayer:
"In love He predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will—to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves."
"In love He predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will—to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves."
Three-quarters of a million households with kids who have come in contact with Focus on the Family, research tells us, feel we helped them raise healthy, resilient children.
I'll never forget the taxi ride back to Moscow the day I became a mother. As the car bumped and jostled over worn out Russian roads, I wept for the stiff, shifty-eyed 15-month-old in my lap. Though I'd offered her my finger to hold, she chose to clutch a damp, stinky Cheerio. Swollen sores and rashes enveloped every inch of her tiny body, and the orphanage workers had tried to hide her shaved head and scab-covered scalp beneath a flowered bandana. But they couldn't veil her eyes, glassy with confusion and pain. She had to be wondering, who are these people speaking so strangely, dressing me in new clothes, removing me from the only life I've ever known?
I vowed at that moment to offset her suffering somehow, to compensate for the struggles she had endured before joining our family. I would quit my job, bake cookies with her, and teach her the motions to Itsy Bitsy Spider. We would snuggle under homemade quilts and she would fall asleep every night with a smile on her lips. I knew she would thrive with a mother's constant care, and I rejected the warning of our adoption training instructor. "It doesn't matter what you've 'saved' these kids from," she'd said. "Kids are selfish by nature. Don't expect them to suddenly love you or treat you like a hero."
As months passed, our daughter settled in to our rules and routines. I appreciated her good behavior, but her hugs remained stilted and eye contact sporadic. She impressed her new friends and relatives with her emergent vocabulary: she could say "doggy" and "daddy" almost immediately. Then, "Elmo" and "Dora." My repeated attempts to add my name always generated dismissive squirms. Her cousin Michael made the list. Then my former boss, Shelly.
"Maybe it's just too hard for her to say 'mommy,'" a friend suggested. But even the variations I introduced to her – mama, mom, etc. – met with disinterest. By the time she said "mailman," I'd had it. My spirits began to drag the ground like the baby dolls she hauled from room to room. Even they had names she knew.
Irrational as it seems, I started to resent waking up every day to the loveless wail of an egocentric stranger. If she wasn't howling for bottles, diapers or food, she was falling off a chair or riffling around in a drawer. Through constant, demanding cries, she reached out for me – but only because I was near enough to provide the things she needed.
My apparent lack of significance to her made my drastic life changes all the more agonizing. During those lonely days, I mourned the passing of my career. Coworkers might once have described me with adjectives like congenial, competent, commendable. Now, I was just cranky…and concerned. We'd amputated half of our income. Adoption bills mounted, along with the tension in my neck and shoulders. I'd forfeited nearly all sources of adult conversation and affirmation to spend my days tending an indifferent toddler.
Had I given up everything I cared about – my life savings, my friends, my free time – to become a babysitter? In my misery, I found myself firing off quick prayers as urgent and jarring as a car backfiring:
Help me!
Fix this!
Change things!
And then, like that moment of bliss and buoyancy when your kite finally catches the air, everything did change. Nearly six months after legally becoming my daughter, she touched my chest with her little fingers and said, "Mommy." She wasn't asking for anything, wasn't upset or cranky. She was simply telling me for the first time, "I'm starting to understand who you are."
Once she called me by name, our relationship developed clarity and momentum. She remained inquisitive about her world, but always returned to proclaim the critical new truth she'd learned. She began inviting me into her toy kitchen, patting the seat of her little red folding chair and announcing, "Mommy! Tea!" She dragged me around the house by my finger to discover the wonders of life with her. Nodding confidently, she told strangers in stores that I belonged to her.
I stopped dreading the static of the baby monitor each morning. I knew the whimpered request for "Mommy" would be next – and I would gladly rush to her side. I felt like I'd been transformed from slave girl to Cinderella. Through this same magic, holding her at night ceased to be a responsibility and became a gift. Her little arms clutched my neck as I whispered, "It's OK…Mommy's here."
Just when it seemed life couldn't get any better, we received unexpected funds that helped pay off the adoption! My prayers had been heard, and my needs met. But a pang of guilt overshadowed the relief I felt.
After all, my methods of getting what I wanted had been just like my daughter's.
I'm no different than a lot of people. It's natural to shoot prayers at God in times of crisis. Even if we never set foot in church or pick up a Bible, we cry out to him like children when discomfort or discontent overpowers us.
Still, I was always taught that God loves us like a dad loves his kids. Now that I'm a parent, I'm starting to get that. I don't want my daughter just to follow the rules. I don't want her simply to ask for things, though I would give her the moon wrapped up in ribbons. I want her to know me, to embrace me, to clutch my finger and walk through the world with me.
It's easy for me to become like a toddler, indignant when I don't get my way. My first inclination is to blame my provider for falling down on the job. Then I think about the frustrating early days when I tried to clean and medicate my daughter's wounds. She jerked away, screaming, and I wanted to shout:
How can I make things better if you don't let me get close enough?
Maybe those are the words God wants me to hear.
I don't want to live like an orphan. I don't want to settle for a sugar daddy when I can have a father. If God knows my past, my issues, my fears, then I doubt he has expectations of me becoming the model child overnight! I have to believe he's pleased when his kids take even a small step toward his open arms. So I'll start today by acknowledging: "I've got a long way to go, Father – but I'm starting to understand who you are…"
The night after Mrs. Richardson's class talked about family histories, Preston Bradley slept on the stairs.
"What are you doing here, Sweetie?" his mom asked the next morning.
Preston grasped his mother's arm and clung with all his 5-year-old strength. "I thought you would leave," he said.
The previous morning, Mrs. Richardson had cheerfully offered her version of Preston's life story to the kindergarten class: "Preston was abandoned at an orphanage in Mexico by his real parents. Now he lives with the Bradleys."
If his real parents could sneak away like that, why not his new parents too? Preston decided that if he slept on the stairs, he would hear them trying to escape, grasp their ankles and beg them to stay.
Most of the Mrs. Richardsons of the world mean well. They're genuinely interested in the adoption process. They want to talk about it. Unfortunately, they don't know how. Often their well-intended questions and comments may actually harm members of adoptive families — especially kids.
It's fair to assume that most Americans view adoption positively. Families in the U.S. adopt over 120,000 children each year. Adoption "success" stories abound in our newspapers and magazines. Churches and social organizations affirm its value.
Unfortunately, our nation's adoption vocabulary tells a different story. Many people's comments contain subtle implications that adoption is an inferior or illegitimate way to start or join a family.
Marietta Spencer, a social worker specializing in adoption language, notes that words shape our impressions of ourselves and the world around us. She concludes that, for the sake of adoptive families and birth parents, people should learn to speak differently about this family-building method. Spencer even developed a list of phrases she described as Respectful (or Positive) Adoption Language (RAL/PAL).
When I first heard of RAL in adoption training, I was skeptical. Wasn't this just another example of political correctness gone awry? But as people began to ask us questions about our Russian daughter, I started to comprehend the nuances Spencer discussed. Surely our coworkers didn't believe creating a real family was contingent upon giving birth. Surely our friends would never intentionally make our daughter doubt she belonged with us. But their comments could easily confuse a child developing her identity.
Below are examples of questions we received from friends, family and strangers. I'll also share what I wish they'd said:
You know that movie where the hero's memories get erased? OK — there are dozens of films like that. Pick one. Why did you pity this character? Maybe because his eyes flickered like a caged animal — angry, frightened, desperate. Maybe you raged against the injustice of his plight. Maybe you realized that, without answers, he could never get on with his life.
Unfortunately, millions of adoptees feel these fictitious heroes' pain. Every day, they wonder who they are.
Once upon a time, people rarely discussed adoption. Well-meaning adoptive parents believed no good could come from exhuming the past. Their silence left children with little knowledge of their birth families, medical histories, or the circumstances surrounding their relinquishment.
Experts today encourage candor within adoptive families. Adoptees live happier, more fulfilled adult lives if they were permitted to communicate openly in childhood. So how should parents begin to convey difficult facts? How can they fill in the gaps when they don't even have solid information?
For many adoptive parents, the ideal conversation starter is a homemade memory album called a Life Book.
A Life Book is a special, dynamic record book for children who no longer live with their birth parents. It's part scrapbook, part photo album, and part historical document that grows as the child does. Most importantly, a Life Book bridges the chasm between mystery and truth. As they review tangible information about themselves, children can discuss confusing issues openly with their adoptive parents. Life Books help address questions like:
What does adoption mean? In Raising Adopted Children, author Lois Ruskai Melina says kids comprehend various aspects of adoption at different ages. They may not understand giving birth until kindergarten or first grade. A few more years will pass before they recognize the cultural significance of "blood" relationships. And before they understand the law, they may doubt their security as a member of your family. When parents consider these developmental milestones, they can initiate age-appropriate discussion about adoption, using the Life Book as a visual aid.
Will my birth parents come back for me? Children often fantasize about their family of origin. After a fight with their parents or a tough day at school, they may envision a birth parent rescuing them. When a child receives permission to discuss his birth parents, however, he can begin to visualize them as real people rather than mythic heroes. Adoptive parents can use Life Books to paint a kind but accurate picture of the birth mother and father. They can provide added security by reiterating that "we're your real parents, we love you, and we're not going anywhere."
Will I be just like my birth parents? Even a young child can understand that her eyes are blue because mommy's are. By extension, many adopted children believe that genetics will determine their future behavior. If Julie's birth mother got pregnant as a teenager, Julie may suppose this is her fate as well. Children raised with a set of values different from their birth parents may also find it difficult to forgive the "sins" of the past. Through Life Books, parents can provide compassionate explanations about the birth parents' decisions while empowering children to make wise choices in their own lives.
How will I explain my adoption to others? It's tough for an 8-year-old, bombarded with questions like "Why don't you look like your mom and dad?" or "Why didn't your real parents want you?" Using Life Books, parents can help assure kids that their unique situation is every bit as legitimate as living with birth parents. Kids should know that this special story is their own; they are not obligated to share details about their history if it makes them uncomfortable. Families may even wish to develop a script to use when confronted with unwanted questions.
A Life Book doesn't need to be fancy or follow a specific format. It can be as unique as the child for whom it's created! Here are some possible items to include:
Update the book regularly (maybe annually) to keep it "alive." You may want to provide new pictures and list some of the child's friends, favorite music, teachers, accomplishments, dreams and aspirations. You can also have the child draw a picture or submit a meaningful item.
Life isn't like the movies. We don't always get the answers we want. But with a little help from loved ones, kids can build their own identity out of the material of the past and present. Life Books offer insight into a child's origins. More importantly, though, they tell the story of a "forever" family who loved him enough to cross the state, the country or the world to bring him home for good.
Adoptions can be divided into a number of different categories, the broadest being related (when the child is adopted by a family member or stepparent) or nonrelated. Approximately half of all adoptions in the United States are related.
In nonrelated adoptions, there are two main categories: domestic (when a child is adopted within the same country) and international. The wait time for international adoptions is typically shorter. There is greater opportunity to specify the age and gender of a child, and there are fewer restrictions for who may adopt. Common drawbacks are that the children are rarely newborns, there is more legal paperwork, and the process can be quite costly — although the fees are often more predictable.
Most international adoptions are closed adoptions, meaning the identity of the birth mother is unknown to the adoptive family. This can be a disadvantage to the child's emotional development and to her physical development when medical history is unknown.
In open adoptions, there is a relationship between the birth mother and the adoptive family, before and/or after birth. These agreements range from simply leaving records open for the child to investigate later, to regular pictures and updates, to scheduled visits and contact. Regardless of the arrangement, persons from all sides of the process benefit when the terms are secured in writing. Most adoption professionals consider open adoptions a healthier situation for the child and both sets of parents.
Most independent adoptions are open. A birth mother and an adoptive family choose each other and make an adoption plan that is completed by an attorney. Birth mothers and the adoptive families can determine their own terms for the adoption, offering less privacy but more peace of mind. Although they are often faster, less expensive and allow for more freedom — especially from the birth mother's viewpoint — independent adoptions are illegal in a few states. Families in all states may identify their own adoption plans and then bring it to an agency to complete.
Agencies may be public (funded by the state) or private (profit and nonprofit). Public agencies place children who are wards of the state due to abandonment, abuse or neglect. They are the least expensive with the shortest waiting time of all adoptions. However, most children placed by public agencies have special needs, and few are healthy newborns. Families may have the option of foster parenting before completing the adoption.
Private agencies can place these children, but they may also place children who have been brought to the agency by the mother before or after birth (giving her the opportunity to choose the family who will adopt her child). Private agencies are more selective of both birth mothers and adoptive families. But while waiting for both parents' custody relinquishment, children may be placed in foster care or risky placements, and families may lose significant amounts of money when placements fail. Profit agencies may place children more quickly but they are more expensive than nonprofit agencies. You should choose only a reputable agency that is licensed in the state in which it operates.
In a transracial adoption, children are placed with an adoptive family of another race. This type of adoption may fall under any of the categories previously listed and amounts to roughly 8 percent of all adoptions.
A new option available to parents, and especially attractive to infertile couples, is "embryo adoption." Couples who are attempting pregnancy by in vitro fertilization often create more zygotes than are used, which are subsequently frozen for storage. The genetic parents may choose to place these zygotes for "adoption," making them available to another couple for pregnancy through an embryo adoption agency. The transfer of the zygote is not legally an adoption but a property transfer. But after acquiring the embryos, they are implanted via in vitro fertilization into the adoptive mother, making her also the legal birth mother — able to experience pregnancy, childbirth and nursing.

Adapting literature into films and TV shows is apparently a trend again. The Twilight series was a great success, The Avengers has been an absolute blockbuster (comic books are at least as literary as Twilight, if not more so), and even the art-house crowd is on the bandwagon. Reports indicate that the Palme d'Or at this year's Cannes Film Festival is likely to go to an adaptation for just the third time this millennium. The hottest property of the moment, though, is probably the BBC series Sherlock.
In case you're not already familiar with it, Sherlock updates the classic Arthur Conan Doyle detective stories and brings them into the present day. Benedict Cumberbatch's Sherlock Holmes is as uncannily capable as the original character, but his performance accentuates Holmes's prickly arrogance and the strain of dealing with the lesser intellects around him—which is to say, everyone else in the world. Contemporary diagnosticians would call his manner pathological, perhaps assigning him a spot on the autism spectrum, and the show is not afraid to mention that issue. Similarly, modern sensibilities find the intense connection between Sherlock and his sidekick John Watson (played by Martin Freeman) difficult to digest, and the duo becomes the subject of jokes and the object of sidelong glances. Hearing about these updates before the series aired, I was afraid that the result would be a descent into gimmickry, with an essentially Victorian figure who would try to juggle a meerschaum pipe and a cell phone for laughs, but that's not at all the case. Sherlock's Sherlock pays tribute to his predecessors, but he's his own man, which is as it should be. Why remake something if you're going to slavishly copy it or tear it completely apart in the process?
There's something special about the character that makes him endlessly renewable. The Guinness Book of World Records lists him as the most frequently portrayed figure in film, with over 75 actors taking on the role in 211 movies. Writers, too, have felt free to try on the deerstalker cap and solve the crimes that they commit to paper. There are versions of the great detective who must not only cope with the unusual, but also the fantastical, as in the stories collected in The Improbable Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, Michael Moorcock, and others pit their hero against ghosts, extinct dinosaurs, and even malicious deities—successfully, natch. The Mammoth Book of New Sherlock Holmes Adventures is an anthology that plays things a little straighter, if you prefer that your investigations remain on more realistic ground. Maybe the most notable incarnation of Holmes in recent years is Pulitzer Prize-winner Michael Chabon's The Final Solution, in which an aged and misanthropic beekeeper picks up his magnifying glass one last time to unravel the secrets of a young escapee from Nazi Germany, and in so doing, confront the greatest crime of the 20th century.
Of course, the original tales are the place to start, whether you're newly introducing yourself to the character or paying him a repeat visit. Almost all of them are in the public domain, so there are dozens, if not hundreds of different options available. The most pleasing might be these beautiful, fully annotated versions of the short stories and the novels. When you think you're ready to match wits with the master, you can pick up Pierre Bayard's Sherlock Holmes Was Wrong, which attempts to show how Arthur Conan Doyle himself couldn't keep up with his creation. None of us can, really, not even the evil genius Professor Moriarty. Sherlock's been going strong for 125 years now, since long before any of us were born, and he'll undoubtedly be connecting clues long after we're gone.
