Chiropractic -support for an invisible injury
Your pain and misery as a result of a whiplash injury might not feel any better if you were told that there is no evidence of injury on your x-rays. However this is often the case, because initially nothing may show up on an x-ray unless the accident was very severe. Symptoms can take months or even longer to appear. The problem may be in the muscles and ligaments, which do not appear on an x-ray.
Changes to normal neck movement
Rather that just a simple sprain to the muscle and ligaments of the neck, research shows that during a road traffic accident involving a rear-end shunt, the neck curves in an abnormal S-shape which grossly alters normal neck movement.
Normally, the joints at the back of your neck glide over each other and are self-lubricated, but a whiplash injury forces them together, damaging the surrounding area, which includes nerves, muscles, ligaments and discs.
There are tiny receptors in the ligaments around the neck called proprioceptors. These relay information to your brain about the position of the joints. If these ligaments have been damaged due to whiplash, you may experience dizziness or light headedness as well as:
- Neck pain
- Headaches
- Arm pain
- Fatigue
- Poor concentration
Your chiropractor may advise you to use ice on your neck in the days following the injury.
Not just car accidents
Whiplash injuries are also known as acceleration/deceleration injuries and need not be the result of car accidents. A slip or fall can give you a whiplash-type injury. In fact you do not have to hit your head or neck – a sudden movement, especially if it is repetitive, may cause injury. Welders, for example, may suffer whiplash-type symptoms as a result of 'nodding down' their masks more than 50 times a day.
Getting all the joints working together
After taking a medical history, he/she will examine you carefully to assess whether your neck is moving properly. This involves examining the muscles, nerves, joints, ligaments and tendons.
Then your treatment will begin with often gentle, specific manipulations, to your neck. This will decrease pain and restore normal movement to the area, aiming to ensure that each joint is working at its best.
* * *
Don't put up with the pain of whiplash – your chiropractor is geared up to help!
* * *
There was no pain immediately after the accident – why has it started hurting now?
The pain from whiplash doesn't have to happen immediately after a trauma; often your body can compensate in the short-term for injuries and it is not until weeks or even months later that the pain develops.
I was involved in a high-speed accident, and I seem to be fine, but my friend had an accident at 10mph and had severe pain. Why?
Tiny receptors in your neck make sure that when it is stretched very quickly, an immediate muscle spasm will sometime protect it from harm. However, if the neck is stretched more slowly, the receptors don't recognise that there is a problem, and the protective mechanism doesn't kick in, leaving you open to injury.
Rest doesn't seem to have made it any better. Why not?
It is important to rest for a short period whilst tissues are inflamed. It then becomes equally important that you move your neck, to ensure that, if scar tissue develops, it remains flexible. Chiropractic treatment helps restore appropriate movement in your neck as quickly as possible.

John 1:14-18
Have you seen his glory?
John's Christmas story does not have the shepherds, manger, wise men, or Mary and Joseph. "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us…" Because of Christ coming to earth, we get to see God's glory. And because of God's glory, we receive grace upon grace. One of my favorite hymns is Grace Greater than All Our Sin. That theme is what we see in 1:16-17. The law was given and it makes us aware of our sin. Grace and truth through Christ were given to us to do something about our sin. "The Word became flesh…" Merry Christmas! Relish in God's glory! Have you seen his glory?

I can already tell. I lost a lovely smile somewhere and many colors dropped out.
There was lots of talk that month, about what would happen, or how good it would be, if…and then there was always the something that needed to change. That's how these things usually go. A person. A location. A move to another city. The meals we should, instead, be preparing. The move, now just a trip to
Outside, the sound of trains being put together. It's not so far from here. You can hear the echo of the steel meeting, the heavy jostle falling through the trees, hammering down the street and then finally it's here, right here, how can it be? inside the walls of the house.
The glass door knob, like a gem stone, falls out on the other side of the shut door, leaving you astonish, yet again. You listen as it rolls, like something lethargic and spoiled, inside on the hardwood. You are standing there, do you understand? in the dark, a heavy glass bulb in the palm of your hand, a threaded stem extended out, aiming at what is now only a vacancy. And you can suddenly imagine, in a different context maybe, being handed this same object and having no earthly idea what use or purpose it once served, admiring it only for its odd and misunderstood beauty. You can imagine lots of things.

Cash-based approaches in humanitarian emergencies: a systematic review
This study reviews evidence on the effects of cash-based approaches on individual and household outcomes in humanitarian emergencies
Despite the widespread use and increasing number of evaluations of cash-based humanitarian assistance, there is a paucity of rigorous evidence about how best to address the needs of crisis-affected populations. This is not surprising, as studies meeting the methodological criteria for inclusion in most systematic reviews are relatively rare in emergency settings.
The primary objective of this review was to assess and synthesize existing evidence on the effects of cash-based approaches on individual and household outcomes in humanitarian emergencies. The secondary objective was to assess the efficiency of different cash-based approaches and identify factors that hinder and facilitate programme implementation.
We followed standard methodological procedures for review of experimental and quasi- experimental studies to assess the effects of unconditional cash transfer, conditional cash transfer and voucher programmes for crisis-affected populations. We also adapted these procedures to review economic studies assessing the efficiency of cash-based approaches and observational, qualitative and mixed method studies assessing the factors that facilitate or hinder the implementation of cash-based approaches in different settings. We conducted comprehensive searches of published and unpublished literature in November 2014. Two independent research assistants screened all identified studies to determine eligibility for inclusion in the review. We then extracted data from all included studies using a standardized coding tool and critically appraised the studies using existing tools appropriate for the different study designs.
Findings suggest that both cash-based approaches and in-kind food assistance can be effective means of increasing household food security among conflict-affected populations and maintaining household food security among food-insecure and drought-affected populations; each assistance modality has different advantages and disadvantages that should be considered in the design of future interventions. However, no definitive conclusions on the effectiveness of cash transfer or voucher programmes could be drawn that are universally applicable for humanitarian policy. Further development of the evidence base, with more rigorous evaluations comparing the effectiveness of different cash-based approaches (or combinations of approaches) and transfer modalities, as well as standardized approaches to documenting and comparing both costs and benefits of cash- transfer and voucher programmes, is needed to further strengthen the evidence base in this area.

I just came across this blog called Viva Luxury and absolutely love Annabelle Fleur's style. I have seen some of her photos before and don't know what took me so long to check out her blog. After scouring her blog for hours here are just a few photos I love. What intrigues me about her outfits is that she loves to play around with prints and colour. Her outfits really appeal to me as something I could wear. Love that she gives links to where to purchase the items. Just wish some of the sites shipped to Australia.

Amandajli's question about Trader Joe's favorites got me thinking: what do you routinely buy at Costco to keep in your larder? I confess I probably don't get as much there as I would if it weren't so easy to be led astray in that place. I go for a few things and end up dazed $300 later, with an armchair and a potted palm. Help!
My Costco kitchen faves are: 3-pound bags of almonds and walnuts; coffee filters; butter; rotisserie chicken (4.99 and scrumptious); fresh pork shoulder and tenderloin; wine; golden mangoes when in season; avocados; medjool dates; organic quinoa; organic brown rice; fresh broccoli florets. I haven't really explored the frozen foods or the rest of the food offerings.
Cinnamon, sugar, flour, vanilla extract, chocolate chips (sometimes), oatmeal, avocados, canned stewed tomatoes, canned garbanzos, peanut butter. And when I need them: dried plums, raisins, kalamata olives, sun-dried tomatoes, walnuts & almonds. I used to buy frozen blueberries and strawberries, but I no longer have an extra freezer. Now that they carry unsalted butter, I stock up on butter as well--when I have the room!
Their store brand extra virgin olive oil is good and highly rated. The parmesan reggiano cheese is a good buy. Protein Bars and Shakes are good. A foodsaver and food saver rolls bags are useful items to have for storing bulk purchases in single packs. I break down the PR cheese and wrap with a paper towel and vac pack--it'll last a year or so in the 'fridge protected that way. The paper towel is vital for PR cheese as it 'weeps' in the bag long term.
The CostCo "kirkland" brand champagne is quite good, according to my guest better than a mid-range veuve clicquot.
The Kirkland Canned Salmon is surprisingly good with big meaty slices of fish; free of spines, bones and eyeballs.
My brother shops a lot at Costco. The Kirkland Champagne is real, as in it comes from the Champagne region of France, and it's becoming his standard for kir royales.
As for me, I wander around both Trader Joe's and Costco and walk out empty-handed. Maybe I need a guide.
I generally try to buy staples I use often and wouldn't necessarily make myself (canned/dry beans, tomatoes, pasta, rice) and depending on which Costco you're at they often offer a lot of organic options such as butter, rice milk, coffee, and cereals.
My Costco food list:
cage-free eggs
unsalted butter
dutch-processed cocoa
organic boneless skinless chicken thighs
Parm Reg cheese
canned sardines
dried apricots
nuts (almond, walnuts, pecans)
fresh berries
Fra' Mani turkey meatloaf (it's the best meatloaf I've ever had)
31/40 frozen shrimp, w/ shell on
aged cheddar
chanterelles (when they have them)
French green beans
pork tenderloin
white rice
cheddar cheese, nuts, avocados, meyer lemons and cara cara oranges in season, chanterelles in season, organic spinach if they have it, big bags of quinoa, smoked salmon, frozen cheese tortellini, wheat tortillas, La Brea bakery wheat bread, paper napkins. Sometimes they have wild Pacific salmon, in season, and sometimes I get the tilapia. I used to get cookbooks there but lately they haven't had many. I haven't been happy with the bananas there and although I used to get strawberries there, I now only buy organic which I've never seen there. Rotisserie chicken. Very, very occasionally I will buy the chocolate muffins which are truly not a breakfast food or in any way good for you but my teens find them delicious for what we call "cake for breakfast." I have a friend who loves the croissants but I am picky and haven't tried them there.
I usually go with a list and go straight for the stuff I need (with a little detour to the book aisle, but overall, my store seems to have cut back its book offerings).
Granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, vanilla beans (around the holidays), unsalted butter, cream cheese, Brie cheese, Feta cheese, organic chickens, heavy cream, onions, garlic, avocados, mangoes, olive oil, Italian red & white wine vinegar. And cat litter. I'm not the only one with a pantry.
Canned tomato, organic peanut butter, nuts, olive oil, vanilla (extract, paste), canned tuna, pasta & sauce, dried onion flakes, tabasco
Flour, sugar and butter when I need a lot of them (i.e. for holiday baking)
Meat, veg, eggs, dairy products - whatever in season/looks good, when needed
parchment paper
King Arthur flour
baking powder
granulated sugar
brown sugar
heavy cream
unsalted butter
organic eggs
frozen berries
olive & veg oil
chocolate morsels
dried cranberries
navel oranges
the NINA brand tomatoes are awesome
the Cambozola cheese is rocking our world lately
the frozen edamame are great
Meat: boneless country ribs or boneless shoulder to make carnitas or pulled pork, and the pork chops are great, the steaks are great, organic chickens, too. I buy a rotisserie chicken every few weeks, until the kids get sick of it. Sadly, the New Zealand lamb is sub-par, smelled and tasted bad - had to throw it out. They were a teeny bit tiffed that I didn't return the product, but I did get my refund. Will never buy lamb there again.
Fish: I've never been completely happy with the fish from Costco, so never buy from there anymore.
I try to avoid the bakery and the frozen packaged goods case.
Grateful for the recommendation of the NINA brand tomatoes, mrsl. Will check them out. I am currently on a quest for an alternate brand to Muir Glen, which I like but find pricey. I know lots of tomatoes get canned in Italy, there must be other fine brands. Am especially interested in tomatoes without added salt, as I like to add my own depending on what I am doing with the tomatoes.
P.S. The hanging Boston ferns are lovely. I get a bunch every year for the front porch.
"I go for a few things and end up dazed $300 later, with an armchair and a potted palm."
Thank you, calendargirl, for your perfect description of the Costco shopping experience --- and a good lol giggle!
nuts of all varieties
organic sugar
butter (I freeze it)
whipping cream during caramel-making season
olive oil
canned garbanzos
dry pasta
canned diced tomatoes
vanilla extract
Adam's peanut butter
Parmesan & Pecorino
frozen blueberries
A little bit of a tangent, but: there's a Sam's Club about 10 minutes away and a Costco about a half hour. Sam's is good for some things (e.g., nuts, cereal, some baking supplies and cheese, olive oil) but from the lists here it seems Costco is better. Has anyone been to both that can compare? Is it worth schlepping to Costco instead?
Amysarah, I am certain others who are more knowledgeable than I am will weigh in on this but my initial thinking is informed by the fact that Sam's Club is a Walmart company, and Walmart tends to cater to an especially broad demographic. Perhaps more boxed and prepared foods? I do know that the Costco stores that carry wine have a broad selection, occasional delights and, according to all the helpful food52-ers here, excellent champagne. I only went to Sam's Club once and found less that I wanted to buy than at Costco.
Good point, calendargirl - I forgot about the Sam's-Walmart connection.
I only go there occasionally (like to buy 3# bags of walnuts for holiday baking or huge packages of paper towel) - and do find some great buys, like recently a bag of 13 juicy limes for $3, or sometimes good smoked salmon, or cheese - but yes, there's a whole lot of packaged stuff I have no interest in.
Sounds like it's worth a field trip to Costco.
Costco can't be beat for certain items. The large quantities can sometimes be a deterrent, but sometimes I've split the items with a friend which makes it an even bigger savings. If you have the freezer space many items can be frozen. some of my favorite items to buy there are:
Kirkland Brand whole Telicherry black peppercorns
Kirkland Brand extra virgin olive oil
Bella San Luis sundried tomatoes in olive oil
Kirkland Brand Grade A 100% pure maple syrup
Kirkland Brand jarred hearts of palm
Mayorga (local roaster) whole bean coffee
Canned wild salmon (when available)
Canned Yellowfin Tuna in olive oil
Turbinado Sugar (sugar in the raw)
3# bag walnuts
Quart size half and half
Quart size heavy whipping cream
Philadelphia Cream Cheese (large 3# block great for baking)
Kirkland Brand salted and unsalted butter
Dodoni Greek Feta cheese in brine
Locatelli Brand Pecorino Romano Cheese (when available)
Fresh fingerling potatoes
Meyer lemons (when available)
NY Strip and Rib Eye Steaks
Coleman organic whole chickens
Wild fresh Alaskan Sockeye salmon (when available)
Frozen shrimp,raw, tail-on, and deveined 21-25 per bag and 31-40
Frozen wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon Fillets Iindividually wrapped portions)
Amysarah, I will be interested to know how you see the difference between the two stores.
And thanks, dinner at sheila's, for the specificity of your list! I do love that Kirkland sweet butter, and like to have some in the freezer.
I LOVE Costco, also fall prey to their "treasure hunt mentality" (and, yes, that is what they call it) and buy just about everything others have recommended. There is one additional item that has become a total STAPLE for my cooking that I haven't seen mentioned: the Kirkland Signature (so Costco's own brand) Organic No-Salt Seasoning. It is truly AMAZING and since I try to cook with less salt, it really really does a nice job as a salt substitute for almost all savory cooking (or as a supplement to a greatly reduced from original amount recipe required bit of salt). When they have them, I also have a special fondness for their garlic/jalapeno stuff olives!
Artichoke, Parmesan & Garlic Dip -- heat it up 'til it's warm and gooey -- SO good! Also, Seattle Mountain coffee beans roasted in the store (we like the Sumatra) -- very good coffee at less than half the price of retail coffee shops. Unfortunately, not all Costcos have the ginormous coffee roaster that makes this possible. The coffee available at roaster-less Costco stores is inferior.
And thanks to a ll for your great tips! Lots of them are going on my list for our next Costco "treasure hunt"!
Be careful cookbookchick, and don't come home with a potted palm! Agree with you on the coffee, BTW.
Made my list and I'm checkin' it twice as we will have our first Costco in Sarasota, FL. sometime this year. Made a list from the Trader Joe's question also, as our first TJ's will be opening in a few weeks.
Never shopped in either store but I'm excited now thanks to all your wonderful tips.
Our Costco also sells good quality nursery shrubs during the planting season. I have purchased several varieties of boxwood which have flourished. I've also bought beautiful hibiscus and mandevilla.The price is phenomenal compared to the typical nursery prices. However, it's best to get them early before they've been indoors too long without the benefit of some real sunshine and tender loving care. Of course, buy your groceries first, and with all the savings you can pick up a shrub!
*Canned corn
*Tomato sauce
*Sea salt
*Marinated artichokes
*Canned black olives
Food wise, Sundried tomatoes definatley, Roasted Red peppers, Big bags of frozen berries for my smoothies, Fage Yogurt and boursin cheese, otherwise i shop at Wholefoods for everything else. When it comes to meat, chicken, pork and fish, I only trust Wholefoods. Check out their 5 step program which illustrates unmatched; highest quality standards!!
another thread just reminded me, I buy the Red Star Yeast at Costco all the time. The 2 pound bag lasts quite a long time in the freezer.
Organic quinoa and Fage Greek yogurt, but our very favorite is the frozen wild caught Copper River salmon! It's not always available. Before anyone rolls their eyes, I'm from Arizona. It is by far better than any fish available, even Whole Foods. Give it a try!

West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce is seeking a winning performance in the New Year to bounce back from defeat last weekend and cast 2012 into oblivion.
After losing 1-0 to Reading the Hammers have won only a single game in their last eight Premier League encounters.
Speaking to Sky Sports Big Sam stated, "We need to bounce back."
"We've got to make sure we become better at creating and taking our chances, otherwise it's going to be tough," he continued.
Commenting on the manner in which the Irons have failed to win, and the defensive nature of Christmas football, he noted that, "The balls into the box haven't been given enough quality to open up a defence as everybody starts tightening up at this stage of the season."
With a number of injuries to key players the Hammers boss has been limited in personnel. Most notably Allardyce has a huge gap to fill in central midfield since Mohamed Diame's injury.
"We haven't had our best team out for ages and since we beat Chelsea, our points total has diminished rather than kicked on from there," he said.
"Normally when you get a result as big as that one you kick on and get more and more results as the euphoria keeps you going.
"The injuries have unfortunately kicked in and we've not been able to pick up the results we wanted to.
"It's about getting the players back fit and then keeping them fit, and then we'll be OK but that's got to happen very quickly now."

We had 3 public meetings in May - and over 100 people came and heard about the new plans and saw the images and the scale of what's needed to do.
Lots of you have written in to the Planners and Church Commissioners in support of the plans - thank you! We should hear in the next month (July) what the planners think of it. We've had a cautious letter of support from English Heritage which is amazing!
Thank you to all who have given or pledged to give so far - a hugely encouraging £40,000 so far from the community! Nearly half way to that particular total.
We've had such a great response its going to take a while to thank you all individually - but we''ll get there.
No good news from Wilts Local Education Authority yet - they are still playing politics - pass the parcel from one desk to another, but we're keeping the pressure up.
Some disappointments from major grant givers too - a couple of "no's", but we've still got lots of irons in the fire including a bid to the National Lottery for £100k. More prayer or fingers crossed - whichever is your style!
We're also making progress on the project plan and critical path, and to dealing with our PR and website. We really need help with our databases and in lots of ways, and in the next few weeks should be able to appeal for help with particular jobs.
Finally, Bemerton Community Ltd elected some new Directors at our AGM - Ben Thornton, who is a solicitor and parent at the school, and Vaughan Watts who is Chair of School governors, and Hilary Bird, the churchwarden. All bring valuable expertise and skills to the group.
Things are happening!

Wedge was inspired to start work on this idea, and after many glasses of work, started talking to contacts around the web.
In September 2014, Brian and Wedge launched an independent intranet conference with lots of help and support from 'the intranet community'. For two guys who had never met, it was a big undertaking. With 170+ souls in the room, the success of the conference proved that the UK needs an independent, vendor-agnostic, conference focused on improving the intranet right now.
Now in its third year Intranet Now remains the UK's most practical, friendly, low cost intranet and communications conference. In 2015 we started offering workshops in the same style, on topics that intranet and comms people wanted to know about, with high quality speakers and of course at low cost.
Our third conference continues to evolve with our new World Café allowing even more learning and active participation. The day still fits in over 20 speakers with our short lightning talks enabling us to cover everything that is important in the world of intranets now. All this is made possible by the continued support of our sponsors and intranet and comms folk across the UK and beyond.
Intranet Now manifesto
A conference / unconference about intranets and the digital workplace that is:
- About the Intranet NOW – practical case studies, real experts, and advice;
- Serious about how the intranet serves its organisation;
- Concerned with engagement, collaboration, and communication;
- Not dominated by any one technology but illuminated by examples of good practice from many;
- A place to learn from others (sharing mistakes as well as successes);
- Curious and open to new ideas with room for experimental and left field ideas.
and has a good lunch, good wifi, and no dress code.

It doesn't seem possible that this school year
has come to an end.
This is Eli on his first day of school.
It was my job to get a good first day of school picture.
I will do better next year.
The picture above is from his last week of kindergarten.
He is older and smarter.
Eli won a variety of awards this year.
Each grade period resulted in
AR Award, A-Honor Roll, and others.
He is so smart.
All he really wanted was the PE Award.
The coach could only present it to one boy per class.
I asked him what was required to receive such a prestigious award and he said,
"you have to listen to the coach and do what he says."
Such stress in kindergarten!
On the final grade period,
his name was called.
Yeah Elijah!!
I'm headed to Florida this weekend.
I can't wait to congratulate him in person.
I can't wait to hug him.
It's party time!

HAL: The album's called Bums Like A Star. And I'd just like to point out that most stars burn no lower than 3,000 degrees Centigrade all the way up to millions of degrees at the surface of the star.
MARTIN: That's a fascinating point. Could you please hold up the record cover so we could examine it?
HAL: There it is.
JESSE: The band's called Stone Fury???
HAL: Yeah.
MARTIN: That's right.
JESSE: Oh.
HAL: But the record's called Burns Like A Star.
MARTIN: OK, it says it contains four hits on the cover, and it lists the four hits.� But listen to these hits: "Break Down The Wall," "Life Is Too Lonely," "Shannon, You Lose" and "I Hate To Sleep Alone." I don't know about you guys, but I've yet to hear a single tune.
HAL: You mean you haven't heard them on the radio.
MARTIN: It says "contains the hits," yet there's absolutely…
HAL: That's because no one's playing them!
MARTIN: But it says "contains the hits"!
JESSE: What label is it on?
MARTIN: Let's see.� Oh, it's on MCA. That's very strange. They usually, uh, get their fair share of hits.
HAL: How many records really have four hits? I mean, that would be really unusual.
MARTIN: You remember the theory, don't you, that every hit on a record will really mean a million in sales?
JESSE: Sure.
MARTIN: So, with four hits, this album should be selling four million copies! And–ironically–I don't even recognize this album cover. And it's been out for a couple of weeks. There's something wrong going on here.�
HAL: Maybe there's another edition, with a different cover, that you wouldn't recognize, you know, if you were seeing it.
MARTIN: Well, I have to admit this is a terrible cover. I mean, no one in the world would know who this band is.
HAL: (looks at cover) Is that an observatory?
MARTIN: It's a phallic symbol, I guess.
HAL: You know what it looks like? It looks like a water tower. But there are observatories in the background.
JESSE: Well, they obviously want to be heavy metal stars…
MARTIN: Yeah. Burns Like A Star.
HAL: Ahh! You mean, like there's two kinds of stars–the kind of stars that inhabit the galaxies…and the stars that inhabit the stage!
MARTIN: That's clever! OK, that's a good title.
HAL: We didn't see that right away, either. Almost.
MARTIN: Oh-oh. Looking at the pictures on the back, there's some trouble here. Uh, I don't want to be cruel but, uh–three of these are pretty good-looking, but the guy in the back there … he's a dog!
JESSE: What? The guy on the left?
HAL: He looks kinda–well yeah, he's a dog–but the other guy, he looks like he's … you know–queer. (much laughter) �He's got a perm.
MARTIN: Which one?
HAL: The guy on the right, in the back. What's his name?
MARTIN: I don't know. But ya know? By golly, you are right.
JESSE: Hey, let me see that.
MARTIN: Just one second!� Well, Hal may have a point. The last cut, side one: "Mama's Love"
HAL: (laughs) Say no more! They do look kinda, you know, kinda tough. You know. I mean–if you saw them on the street, you wouldn't wanna, you know, fuck with them, you know?
JESSE: Compared to somebody like Blackie Lawless or, uh…Nikki Sixx or Mick Mars?
HAL: But they look tougher than we do, right?
JESSE: This guy looks like a girl!
HAL: And the other guy looks like a queer!
MARTIN: And the other guy looks like a dog!
HAL: You're right.
JESSE: (stares at LP cover in awe) This guy looks like a woman! (laughter)
MARTIN: Actually, let's face facts. They were smart not to put their cover on the picture!
HAL: Their picture on the cover!
MARTIN: That's right. I'm sorry.
JESSE: (points) This guy's going for the Presley/Billy Idol look, with his lips.
MARTIN: Or Tom Petty, sort of…
HAL: Yeah.
MARTIN: Well, there's only one thing to do now.
JESSE: (still staring at cover) This guy's going for the Neal Schon look…
HAL: Well, look–we're making a mistake here. Because we should be talking about the hits rather than what the guys look like.�
MARTIN: Like women! Yeah. OK, well let's consider the fact there's four hits on a record we've never heard.� Right?
HAL: Right!
JESSE: Right!
MARTIN: Number two: their pictures aren't on the cover.� Right?
HAL: Right!
JESSE: Right!
MARTIN: Three: their actual picture itself proves they're an ugly band! And their lack of masculinity! Finally, fact number four–it's produced by Andy Johns, a fairly reputable producer. Right?
HAL: Yeah.
JESSE: Look, here's their names.
HAL: Well, buried somewhere, sure.
JESSE: Listen–"Lenny Wolf," "Bruce Gowdy," "Rich Wilson," "Jody Cortez."
MARTIN: I'd be willing to bet I know who the Bruce is.
HAL: "Jody Cortez"? "Jody Cortez"? (much laughter)
JESSE: It's like you gotta have a Juan Croucier, you gotta have a little ethnicity.
HAL: Are you saying this is a formulized band? Are we gonna go that far?
MARTIN: Well, there's only one thing we can do.
JESSE: I mean, they don't even play–it's sort of like the Monkees, maybe. Down here they have little asterisks, and on one asterisk it says "George Perilli, drums." And then they've got two asterisks–"Peter Parnegg, bass." So they don't even play their own instruments!
MARTIN: OK. Let's get down to the final analysis. Should we play this record and even decide if it's good, or not?
HAL: No. That would be pointless.
MARTIN: You're right.
JESSE: No. If you wanna listen to heavy metal that looks like women, you might as well listen to Girlschool!
MARTIN: You're quite right. So, should we listen to it?
HAL, MARTIN & JESSE: (together) NO!
HAL: So say we all.
–Hal Jordan, Martin Dio and Jesse Grace

Last night, Larry King had a woman on his show who is addicted to plastic surgery. I had seen this woman before, but I had forgotten how incredibly abhorrent her features were. Talk about your science experiment gone wrong – I don't know what to think when I look at this woman. I mean, her skin doesn't even really look like skin anymore. And her lips? Like a baboon's ass on a face.
I think Larry King said she'd had like 28 or 29 plastic surgeries, and I hear that her mortician is happier and happier with each successive surgery. Hell, when she kicks in 15 years due to ridiculous toxin levels, he won't have to do anything to prepare her for an open-casket funeral. On the downside, a few attendees may keel over right there upon seeing this PVC cover girl.
And the best part? This woman even has her own website (edit: link removed). Because I know you're interested, here's what answers.com has to say about her various and sundry surgeries:
Jenny Lee Burton is a 28-year old Dallas mom who has had 26 consemetic surgeries and procedures, including a brow lift at age 25. She has had botox, cheek implants, three nose jobs, three lip implants, two boob jobs, three breast lifts, and liposuction on her arms, hips, thighs, stomach and knees. Her quest for perfection began in the celebrity magazines a few years ago when she marched into a doctor's office and requested Michael Jackson's nose, Jennifer Aniston's jaw, Jennifer Lopez's profile and Angelina Jolie's bee-stung lips. To pay for her addiction, she maxed out her credit cards, ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and worked extra jobs. She says she now realizes she has a problem and is seeking treatment for her obsessive behavior which is considered body dysmorphic disorder, a condition in which a person becomes obsessed with defects in their appearance that are often imagined. Studies may show that this runs in the family, and in fact, it did exist in her family, and Jenny Lee's father had an obsessive compulsive disorder.
I dunno what else to say. Boob jobs are great, but please, don't eff with your face. Not unless you look like Gonzo from the Muppets and really need a freakin rhinoplasty, ok? Thanks.

Albert Finney, Susannah York
Director Tony Richardson has recut his much-praised, much-adored 1963 film for this rerelease, snipping out seven minutes to reduce what he had come to believe were some overlong scenes.
The fact is that it still drags at times. And all the gamboling and coy asides to the camera, as well as a foolish speeded-up chase sequence, provoke aren't-they-the-precious-ones notions.
Yet few films are so alive, so expansive, so devoted to enjoyment (or so unlikely to translate well to home video). Taken from Henry Fielding's 1749 novel, it is set in 18th-century England, where a lower-upper-class brother and sister adopt a foundling who grows up to be Finney. He's a lovable rascal, honest and honorable, but fatally vulnerable to a pretty face.
The plot revolves around his long courtship of the daughter of a boorish neighboring squire. The father is wild-eyed Hugh Griffith. The daughter is played with surpassing beauty by York, and when she is with Finney, then 27 and too good-looking to be true, the effect is surreal.
The famous scenes are still intact—the pound and sweep of the deer hunt, the blend of playfulness and flamboyant lust in the greasy, drippy eating scene involving Finney and Joyce Redman.
The film won Best Picture and Best Director Oscars. Richardson hasn't made a film anywhere near as successful since—The Hotel New Hampshire is closest. If you have to be remembered for only one thing in life, though, being stuck with Tom Jones isn't bad. (Unrated)

Buenos dias, mi amigos.
I walked to school this morning by myself so that I could walk at my own pace (we´ve been leaving casa ovalle with 5 or 10 minutes to spare...i hate walking to school with a sense of panic) and so that I could log on quickly and write to ya´all.
We traveled to Volcan Pacaya on Saturday. Hell of a way to remember a birthday. Let´s just say that it was HELLA DIFFICULT for me (Chad loved every minute of it) and I rode a horse most of the way, thanks to 2 new friends from Portland who lent me the 40 quetzales (remember, 1 dollar is 7.5 q) so that i could cling to the poor animal for dear life...I was thinking, the ascent is killing my knees, so I want to ride this horse...but now i´m realizing that riding a HORSE up a 45 degree angle is scarier...at one point i had to get down because it was too steep of an angle...however, all in all, it was pretty amazing and i don´t regret it at all. i didn´t actually go as far up as chad and fran did. (my knees, i had to go to the bathroom, i was wearing my keens...rocks and volcanic dirt in my shoes...i was tired...i´m out of shape...) so i sat at the bottom of the volcano and watched lightening flash from behind the volcano, lighting up the entire sky...watched lava flow down from the right side...looked at the glow of red emenating from the top of the volcano...the lights from the pueblo below, in the valley...and thought about all of you and prayed for my next year and all of my family and friends. that was my birthday trip.

Real Weddings: Caley and Frank
It was ten years from the moment they met in college to the day they were married, but Caley and Frank Barile were in each other's lives for the duration.
Their story begins in August 2001 at Binghamton University when Frank was a sophomore and Caley was a freshman. Surreptitiously, their dorm rooms were right across the hall from each other. "I was immediately captivated by Caley," Frank says. "Within two weeks of meeting her, I asked her to be my girlfriend. She said, 'No.'"
"I just wasn't expecting to meet my husband the first day of college," Caley says. Luckily, Caley didn't mean "no" forever; by 2002 they were officially a couple.
One of the first things she admired about Frank was his musical talent. Frank plays guitar, sings and writes his own songs. "She became my muse, inspiring some of my best songs and supporting me at every solo and band concert during that time," Frank says.
During the summers, the couple spent time at Caley's family camp on Lake Luzerne, and came to love Saratoga. But their pursuit of advanced degrees -- Caley in dentistry and Frank in law -- separated them in 2004. Frank went to St. John's University in Queens for his master's degree, while Caley finished up at Binghamton. Then Caley headed to West Philadelphia to practice dentistry. Even with distance between them, they talked every day and remained very much in love.
Finally, in May 2009, Frank and Caley moved into an apartment in Astoria, New York, where they now live today. "Since living with Caley, I can't remember a time where I've been so relentlessly and audaciously happy," Frank says.
The marriage proposal took place on Thanksgiving eve, at a nightclub in Manhattan's Greenwich Village. Always a romantic, Frank serenaded Caley with "This Slowdance," the first love song he wrote for her back in 2002. After the song, Frank beckoned Caley to the stage and went down on one knee to propose.
"I was shocked," Caley admits. "Even though we'd been together a long time, I wasn't expecting it. Our families and friends knew about it; I was the last to know."
With 18 months to plan the wedding, Caley, who describes herself as "detail-oriented," got to work on even the smallest nuances. "In retrospect, one thing I'd do differently is not getting hung up on small things," Caley says. "Like figuring out the exact color of the font on the invitations; it doesn't really matter."
Two hundred guests came to the wedding. Their wedding party included all their siblings, even Frank's brother, Michael, 12. Although they had a fall-back plan to move the ceremony inside in case of rain, their wedding day brought brilliant sunshine and fair skies.
One of the special moments was signing the Ketubah, a Jewish marriage certificate that now hangs in its beautiful frame in the couple's apartment. "It was by far the best day of my life," Frank says.
After the festivities, the newlyweds flew to Greece to bask in the sun on the islands of Mykonos and Santorini. "We stayed in a hotel overlooking the island, went on a Catamaran sunset cruise and to a winery," Frank says. "But mostly we sat by the pool and relaxed."
What do the next ten years hold for the couple? In two years, when Frank earns his law degree, they will both officially be done with school. "We talk about living some place warm, but we'll probably stay in New York to be near family," Caley says. "Just being together is what we want."
Who, What, When:
BRIDE: Caley Barile, 28, private practice dentist, Rockland County
GROOM: Frank Barile, 29, currently in second year of law school St. John's.
THE WEDDING DAY: July 1, 2011 at The Reflecting Pool, Saratoga Spa State Park, Saratoga Springs
THE HONEYMOON: 10 days in Greece.
ONE DETAIL: Rather than a traditional guest book, Caley and Frank opted for a "guest book tree," a five-foot cast iron tree with crystals and votive candles, placed in the entryway of their reception. Guests wrote their messages on hang tags and put them on tree as decorations. Caley and Frank kept the tree, now housed in their apartment. Also, since Humpty Dumpty ice cream in Saratoga was Frank and Caley's favorite local place, they gave each wedding guest ice cream cone certificates as a wedding favor.

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!
I am sharing a little lattice box/basket that I am just now able to post. Past few days around here have been rather busy! I missed a couple of challenges that I was playing along with, but that happens sometimes!
Cricut Cartridges:
Tags, Bags, Boxes & More2 - Lattice box is cut 11.50" wide x 5.48" high from white Colorbok card stock.
Spring Fling - Flower is cut 3" wide using pink and green papers. Sweet Spring is cut 2" wide from the same papers. I cut two of each image so each side of the box has an image. Cricut Midnight pen was used for the drawing.
Side view of Box
The two crinkle ribbon bows are from Karen at Little Scrap Pieces. Thanks Karen for the pretty ribbons! I added some iridescent shreds to the inside of box and some peppermint candy. Looks like someone has been eating my candy!
I am using the little box for Spring now but with Easter also in the month of March, I can add Easter candy for a different treat. I will have a dual purpose box with this little project!

Now unto a little surprise. I dropped a hint to the author in a comment but now I'm ready to share with you all. I have decided to do my first parody! Yay! Of a book by an author I know online/blog. What? You say, I can imagine authors who chat with me or blog back and forth looking at each other or pointing at themselves. The lucky winner is....read the summary and guess.
From the truly weird mind of Sheena-kay Graham.
Seriously this lady is super weird in her head. Don't let that smiling face fool you.
Printer Rose is a typical teenager who wishes to become popular. Her family line were all popular in pre-school straight through University but she has fallen short and no one is more disappointed than her mother and older twin brothers. One day she comes across a potion in the basement of her father's mistress house. She has no idea why she is there or how she got the address but decides to feed it to the lady's cat. The cat turns into a sexy female and runs off. Angry about her missing cat the mistress curses Printer to become boneless and leaves with no explanation of how she is a witch in the first place. Or how she knew Printer was even there. Magic perhaps, or total lack of logic. Anyway, Printer starts noticing changes in her body that eventually leads to an embarrassing incident that gets caught on camera and uploaded to Youtube. But instead of becoming a social pariah she gains instant fame.
Yet things don't go as expected when it turns out those who become popular do so at a dastardly price and Printer becoming popular without paying the fee will bring out an ancient evil so frightening that Don King's hair looks like a perfect candidate to model a conditioner for well....models. Can Printer figure out a way to save herself and stop this evil? Where did the creepy guy who has a crush on her but looks like Nosferatu come from? Does this crazy story have a point? Why does something else keep popping up? Secrets are one thing, LSD laced story lines are another. Printer will have to navigate through it all and also find the mistress's cat now turned sexy female pin up model with African American security who rap at her so hard she can't grab the transformed cat back without getting better rhymes. Plus her curse is getting worse and milk won't hold off the final result forever. Will Printer ever go back to how things used to be? Uh no, this is a parody not a romance novel. Sorry romance but you kinda.... So....Printer has to fix things by destroying an ancient evil, getting back a witch's cat who's now a woman, deal with jealousy and rants from her family, an ugly stalker boyfriend never gonna be and anything else that pops up in this insane story that no asylum can contain. Seriously, it got pushed out the door by the doctors. Freedom! Ahem, I mean stay tuned.
Boneless, a parody that will make you very aware that you are indeed part Skeletor. I mean skeleton!
So what did you guys think. Oh right, this is a parody of Moonless by Crystal Collier. And yes a lot of stuff popped up in that book too. And Alexia could be an annoying nosy busy body at times. But hey she got to be sexy and chased by evil....and meet a guy who has a psycho girl who wants him, bad. Of course it's also set in the past. Mine is modern day...bet you didn't get that when Youtube was mentioned. No idea when I'll actually complete this but I got the idea of parodying her novel because of all the crazy nonsense that sometimes took place. I gave it a great review and it is a really good book but seriously....it could be six different novels. Loads of plot....story...plenty of plot. Okay I'll stop now.
Cassie Mae's Latest Cover
Now to reveal Cassie Mae's Cover for The Real Thing. Better late than....just enjoy the sexy cover and congrats Cas. Seriously I mean Castiel from Supernatural has done well fighting evil and evading capture this season. Oh right and Cassie for her latest cover reveal. Awkward.
Pre-Order: Amazon, Barnes and Noble
Visit Cassie: Blog, Goodreads
Eric Matua has one friend—his best friend and childhood sweetheart, who needs a place to stay for the summer. Mia Johnson has thousands of friends—who live in her computer. Along with her email chats and Facebook notifications, Mia also devours romance novels, spending countless hours with fictional characters, dreaming of her own Romeo to sweep her off her feet. When she starts receiving supersweet messages from a stranger who thinks she's someone else, Mia begins to believe that real love is possible outside her virtual world.
When the two friends become roommates, Mia finds herself falling harder than she ever thought she could. But Eric keeps his desires locked away, unsure of himself and his ability to give his best friend what she deserves in a boyfriend. As her advances are continually spurned, Mia splits her time between Eric and her computer. But she soon realizes she's about to lose the only real thing she's ever had.
Wow that cover is hot. Congrats Cassie!
Express Yourself Meme
Poor thing, at the bottom of so much action but no one forgot about you. Well, I didn't and Friday is a book review and only the Celebrate Meme gets to share in the spotlight. Sorry dear memie. But you get to shine now! Don't give me the finger! Ugh, moving on.
Question: Name one favourite character you have read or written.
Read: Carlisle from The Twilight Series. In the final movie when something sort of happened but didn't, my feelings were written on Esme's face. I mean Carlisle is a wonderful soul who brought together a family of loving vampires and if it weren't for him in truth....there would be no Twilight. Think about that...Edward and ahem Bella Swan Cullen. Just saying.
Written: Circa from Circa. I still hope to shop this novel to agents in 2015/2016. I am just taken by the honest attempt of a girl turned program then becomes human again through a freak accident.
P.S.: Hold up, how come in the Boneless parody summary the father has a mistress but no further mention of him is made? Weird.


text: MFDA to advisors: Watch the misleading claims "Every once in a while we will see someone using the slogan 'Make Your Mortgage Tax Deductible' and we will jump in and intervene and get them to withdraw that kind of marketing material because any investment loan you can deduct the interest payable… In our view we [MFDA] think this is misleading to claim that you're making your mortgage tax deductible; you're still paying your mortgage and getting the same interest tax-treatment as you would with any other investment loans." This particular case centred around a two-year period between 2005 and 2007 prior to the recession. Since then it seems advisors and investors are both more reluctant to use leverage to any great degree. Add to this greater scrutiny from both the regulatory and dealer level and it's clear leveraging schemes such as the Smith manoeuvre aren't the darlings they once were. "We have seen a decrease in the prevalence of these types of manoeuvres. From an enforcement perspective, while we haven't taken our foot off the gas by any means, we are not seeing the same frequency and incidence of this kind of leveraging (the various maneuvers, encouraging investors to tap into their home equity) as was apparently occurring pre-2008." It seems you can teach an old dog new tricks after all. read more > 1 2 SHARE


text: Ok, hopefully somebody can help me. I bought my Droid at the end of December, but I'm having the common problem with the headphone jack being loose and not working properly. I want to exchange my phone for a new one, but I need to know if I can. Here's the catch. I bought my phone at Best Buy in my hometown, but where I go to school there is no Best Buy. Can I still take the phone to Verizon? If not, we're getting a Best Buy here next month so would they still offer a replacement for me? And one final question. Will either Verizon or Best Buy offer exchanges if your screen is slightly scratched?

I liked Alsolutely Normal Chaos because it caught my attention and I love reading Sharon Creech's books. The characters in this book were really very memorable. Mary Lou, Beth Ann, Carl Ray, Alex, and Maggie were all the characters I liked because they are funny, weird, and always in to someone's business. This book is unique because it has a lot of romance, friendship, comedy, and laughs.
Alsolutely Normal Chaos is a funny and interesting book and I would recommend this book to any girl. This book might interest you because it has very descriptive scenes and creative language. As I said before, the characters are ones that you will not soon forget.

The marker, monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), and its mRNA were elevated in urine samples of both mice and humans with acute kidney injury in a study led by Richard A. Zager, MD, of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, and colleagues.
The biomarker appeared to be more specific for acute kidney injury than the gold-standard urinary marker neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), they reported online in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology.
The hope is that early detection can lead to early therapy and prevent acute renal failure, but larger prospective studies are needed to determine clinical utility, the researchers noted.
They first studied mice injected with the nephrotoxic agent maleate to simulate acute kidney injury.
Within four hours, the mice showed an approximately 15-fold increase in plasma MCP-1 concentrations compared with a twofold increase in plasma NGAL, pointing to "MCP-1's high sensitivity as an acute kidney injury biomarker," according to the researchers.
To show potential for use as a urinary marker, the researchers measured mRNAs of both markers in urine at four hours after maleate injection. MCP-1 mRNA was elevated nine-fold compared with baseline, while NGAL mRNA had risen threefold.
These urinary changes roughly paralleled those in renal cortical mRNA and their plasma protein levels.
"This suggests that urinary mRNA levels could conceivably serve as a semiquantitative surrogate marker of intrarenal gene transcription," Zager's group noted in the paper, although cautioning that "at least some of these ... mRNA increases likely reflected nonspecific tubular cell sloughing."
When testing specificity for proximal tubular-specific injury, mouse models of "prerenal" (endotoxemia) and postrenal (ureteral obstruction) causes of acute renal failure both showed marked increases in renal cortical MCP-1 and NGAL mRNA, but MCP-1 wasn't affected by uremia whereas NGAL showed massive increases with uremia.
Together these findings suggested that both biomarkers were relatively nonspecific for structural proximal tubular injury, though MCP-1 had some advantage in this regard, the researchers suggested.
MCP-1 also showed at least comparable clinical utility compared with NGAL as an acute kidney injury marker when examined in urine samples from 10 intensive care unit patients with progressive azotemia due to kidney injury who ultimately required hemodialysis.
Their urinary MCP-1 concentrations did not overlap with those of 10 ICU patients with comparable critical illness severity scores but no azotemia, nor those of 10 healthy volunteers (P<0.01 between ICU groups and non-AKI critically ill patients versus controls).
By contrast, NGAL levels did overlap substantially for the acute kidney injury patients and controls, although they were still significantly different between groups (P<0.03 and P<0.05, respectively).
MCP-1 mRNA in the acute kidney injury patients were elevated nine-fold compared with the ICU controls (P<0.02) whereas NGAL mRNA levels were no different between the two groups.
Notably, total urine protein concentrations -- a standard biomarker of glomerulopathy -- rivaled either of the other specific urinary protein markers in pointing to acute kidney injury, and urinary albumin concentrations also significantly differentiated the critically ill populations with and without acute kidney injury.
"Indeed, we suggest that, given their widespread availability, urine total protein and/or albumin levels can serve as important reference tests when interpreting urinary levels of more specific acute kidney injury protein biomarkers," Zager's group wrote in the paper.
The researchers cautioned that they made no attempts to prevent degradation of urinary mRNA other than simply freezing the samples, so using mRNA preservation techniques could increase the utility of the test.
Also, biomarker data interpretation may have been confounded by the apparent spectrum of renal damage in critically ill patients, since those without acute kidney injury still had higher MCP-1, NGAL, and mRNA values than the healthy controls, they noted.
The group found that factoring in urine creatinine didn't boost the utility of urinary NGAL or MCP-1, which may have simply reflected that the urine creatinine concentrations were essentially identical in the two critically ill populations, they added.
The investigators also provided the first "proof-of-concept" evidence that assessment of urinary histones that activate the gene that produces MCP-1 could be detected in human urine samples.
Urinary mRNA of the histone-modifying enzyme BRG-1 were elevated in the critically ill patients with acute kidney injury compared with those without acute kidney injury. Also, the gene-activating histone change known as H3K4 trimethylation could be detected in urinary MCP-1 gene fragments in urine with chromatin immunoprecipitation assay, with significant differences between the two critically ill groups (P<0.035).
With further confirmation, urinary histone assessment could be "a highly useful, and novel tool for studying pathogenetic mechanisms in patients with kidney disease," Zager and colleagues concluded.
The study was supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health and from nonrestricted research funds from the Kidney Research Institute.
The researchers reported having no conflicts of interest to disclose.

The Big Bank Robbery (edition)
Just released: a new Flora fine art print. The Big Bank Robbery (edition of 30) was reproduced from an undated tempera on board that reflects the nuances of Flora's mid-1960s style. (The title was handwritten on the reverse.) The three-tiered tableau depicts colorful Flora mayhem: inscrutable monsters with misshapen features, Lego architecture, bug-eyed buildings, gumdrop color fills, and—yes—a bank robbery.

Phase II Study of Avastin, Fluorouracil, Doxorubicin and Streptozocin in Locally Advanced and Metastatic Pancreatic Endocrine Tumors
Patients will need to come for 24 study visits in all. Most study visits will take about 2
hours. At some of these study visits, the doctor
- Will do a physical exam
- Will take blood for routine lab tests
- Will do a urinalysis
- Will administer study medication Some study visits may be longer because patient will
have a CT scan or an MRI.
At patient's last visit, they will have a CT scan or MRI.
After treatment starts, patient will:
- Have their blood pressure monitored with every dose of Avastin® (about every 2 weeks).
- Have a history and physical with every chemotherapy cycle (about every 4 weeks).
- Have their blood taken for routine blood tests with every chemotherapy cycle (about
every 4 weeks).
- Have a CT scan or MRI during every other cycle (about every 8 weeks).
- Have a MUGA scan during every 4 cycles (about 16 weeks).
- Have blood taken for tumor markers during every cycle only if their markers were high
at baseline.
- Patients will receive study medication to treat their cancer:
- Fluorouracil on days 1 through 5 of each cycle through cycle 12
- Doxorubicin on day 1 of each cycle through cycle 8
- Streptozocin on days 1 through 5 of each cycle through cycle 12
- Avastin® on days 1 and 15 of each cycle through cycle 12
Allocation: Non-Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
Number of Participants With Progression Free Survival (PFS) at 12 Months
We planned to calculate the One Year Progression Free Survival rate. The event for PFS analyses was the first occurrence of disease progression or death and patients who did not progress or died would be censored at the date of last tumor evaluation (e.g. one-year).

Another bunch of lists for your reading, gift-giving and collection development pleasure.
Every year for the last bunch of years I've been linking to and posting about all the "year's best sciencey books" lists that appear in various media outlets and shining a bit of light on the best of the year.
All the previous 2011 lists are here.
This post includes the following:
American Public Media Marketplace Best Business Books
- Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson
- Reinventing Discovery: The New Era of Networked Science by Michael Nielsen
Chicago Sun-Times Best Bet Holiday Gift Books
- Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson
Twin Cities StarTribune Holiday books roundup: Nonfiction
- Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson
- Fire Season: Field Notes from a Wilderness Lookout by Philip Connors
New York Magazine The Year in Books
- The Enculturated Gene: Sickle Cell Health Politics and Biological Difference in West Africa by Duana Fullwiley
- The Information: A History, a Theory, a Flood by James Gleick
I'm always looking for recommendations and notifications of book lists as they appear in various media outlets. If you see one that I haven't covered, please let me know at jdupuis at yorku dot ca or in the comments.
I am picking up a lot of lists from Largehearted Boy.
The summary post for 2010 books is here and all the posts for 2010 can be found here. For 2009, it's here and here.
For my purposes, I define science books pretty broadly to include science, engineering, computing, history & philosophy of science & technology, environment, social aspects of science and even business books about technology trends or technology innovation. Deciding what is and isn't a science book is squishy at best, especially at the margins, but in the end I pick books that seem broadly about science and technology rather than something else completely. Lists of business, history or nature books are among the tricky ones.
And if you wish to support my humble list-making efforts, run on over to Amazon, take a look at Steve Jobs and consider picking that one up or something else from the lists.

Jonathan's Newsletter
I've had a few emails from Fantoines unhappy about having to give their date of birth when applying for Jonathan's newsletter on his website. There also has been a little bit of discussion about it on social media.
Personally I think it's quite unnecessary and it's obviously quite off-putting to some, or they wouldn't have emailed me.
I'm a great believer in not providing personal information on the internet unless absolutely necessary and a DOB in this case is exactly that. If Sony want the demography of the Fantoines they should be honest and ask us if we wouldn't mind undertaking a brief survey. Plenty websites do that and it seems get reasonably truthful answers, just because visitors to these sites are given a choice of doing a survey. Sony have made the DOB issue mandatory and that is unfortunate. Hopefully they will remove it before long.
However, until then, here are a few suggestions ((if you don't want to give your true DOB) given to me via email.
Make yourself 10, 20, 30, 40 years younger (I like that one)
Give the millennium i.e. 01/01/2000
Give any DOB other than your own
Give 27/10/1994 - my favourite and we will all be 20 years old!!
Hope this helps some of you decide to sign up. I've no idea when the newsletter will be produced but hopefully it will be in our mail boxes before Jonathan's album is in our postboxes.

Isaac Newton was born on the 4th of January, 1643, in Woolsthorpe, in England. Isaac Newton was an established physicist, Mathematician, and is credited as one of the greatest scientist ever.
In 1687 he published his most acclaimed work, Philosophy, Natrualis, Principia, and Mathematica. In 1665, the Great Plague that was ravaging Europe had to come to Cambridge, forcing the university, in which he was a student, had to close. It was in that 18 month (1 ½ years) that he had figured out/ invented Calculus, found foundations for his theory of light and color, and gained significant insight into the laws of Planetary motion, or in other words he figured out why the planets go in an oval not a circle and that Jupiter had moon circling it, his discoveries led to the publishing his book Principia in 1687.
In 1669, Newton received his Master of Arts degree before he had turned 27 years old. In June 1669, Barrow shared the uncredited manuscript with British mathematician John Collins. In August1669, Barrow intended its author to Collins as "Mr. Newton… a very young man… but of extraordinary genius…"
In 1668 improved the telescope that helped his study our solar system. In 1678, Newton suffered a severe nervous breakdown. In August 1684, Halley traveled to Cambridge to visit with Newton, who was coming out of his seclusion.
In 1687, the same year that Principia were published, his beloved companion and niece died. Hook refused to retire his job until his death which was in 1703. In 1689 Newton was elected to represent Cambridge in Parliament.
In 1693 Newton fell into another nervous breakdown. In 1696 Newton was able to attain the governmental position he long sought to have. In that same year he moved in with his niece Catherine Barton.
In 1703, in a controversy that had been brewing for several years, German mathematician Gottfried Leibniz publically accused Newton of plagiarizing his research, and that he had invented Calculus several the publication or Principia. In 1712, the Royal Society appointed a committee to investigate the matter. Isaac Newton was the president of the Royal Society.
On the 19th of March, 1727, Newton experienced a severe pain in his abdomen and went unconscious, and never gain conscience and died the next morning.
Those who love to build, upgrade, an invent new electronics, etc… or anything that has to do with math, astronomy/ space, and so on, owes it to Newton for inventing Calculus, improved the telescope, found out why the Sun is the center of the Galaxy (not universe), and even found out Gravity.
