I have a basic css only dropdown menu that works great in Chrome and Firefox but not so well in IE9. The issue is that the design I am implementing has a slight gap between the horizontal row of parent items and their respective child lists of sub navigation items.
I'm displaying the sub-menus on hover of the parent li. The sub-menus appear fine in all browsers.
The problem occurs when I attempt to move the cursor across the small (about 10px) gap between the parent li and the submenu unordered list. The cursor does not actually leave the parent li as the gap is made by applying a larger height to the li (and a smaller height to its child anchor element) so I do not understand why IE is acting like li:hover is no longer happening once my cursor is no longer on the child link.
If I move the cursor really fast across the gap I can actually make it to the sub menu and use it fine but this is no good for usability reasons.
I'm definitely missing something really obvious here!!
To view the problem please visit http://beta.pancreaticcanceraction.org/
Add 'preview2012' to the end of that URL to access the site (I didn't want to put the whole link down in case it gets crawled).
Thanks in advance for any help!

Chemical modification of primary amino groups of mitochondrial membrane proteins by the fluorescent probe fluorescamine induces non-specific membrane permeabilisation. Titration of the lysine ϵ-amino group promoted efflux of accumulated Ca2+, collapse of transmembrane potential and mitochondrial swelling. Ca2+ release was inhibited by cyclosporin A. Considering the latter, we assumed that fluorescamine induces permeability transition. Carboxyatractyloside also inhibited the reaction. Using a polyclonal antibody for adenine nucleotide translocase, Western blot analysis showed that the carrier appeared labelled with the fluorescent probe. The results point out the importance of the ϵ-amino group of lysine residues, located in the adenine nucleotide carrier, on the modulation of membrane permeability, since its blockage suffices to promote opening of the non-specific nanopore.

In Friendship Do You Give More Than You Receive
If there is one thing I hear all the time from women, it is some variation of the theme: "I'm tired of being the one who gives more than I receive."
The details change depending upon the stage of the friendship, but the implication is always that we are tired of being the initiators, the givers, the schedulers, the inviters and the ones who do the most for the other. We apparently listen the longest, serve most thoughtfully, and show up more consistently. In short, we think of ourselves as the "better friend."
From all my interactions with women, you'd think the odds are probable that I'd eventually connect with these blessed beneficiaries, these winners in the life lottery of our giving. You'd think that for every woman who gives too much that there would be at least one woman out there who admits getting too much.
Ironically, I haven't yet met her Read more

Is Your New Baby a Marriage Wrecking Ball
Yesterday, two things happened:
I had two separate conversations with new parents about how having a baby can be like a wrecking-ball to a marriage, especially in the first year.
Three different people asked me what tips I'd give parents who want to raise empathetic children.
These conversations are related.
First of all, I want new parents everywhere to know that it is totally normal for that adorable bundle of joy to cause a tailspin in your marital satisfaction. An abundance of research shows that this happens to the vast majority of couples: Statistics vary, but most studies indicate that 70 to 90 percent of couples report being less satisfied with their marriages after a baby is born.
Here's the thing: Just because it is totally common for us to start feeling, say, hostile, toward our partner when junior comes home from the hospital, it doesn't mean that those feelings are harmless — to the marriage or to junior.
In fact, hostility between parents can seriously harm a newborn baby's nervous system. When parents fight, baby doesn't feel safe, and this is one of the most important things for proper emotional, intellectual and even physical development. Far from being oblivious, pooping blobs, babies are highly attuned to the world around them Read more

Sasha Rose and her girlfriend Sofi Goldfinger stopped over to the party house to get their groove on. They were introduced to the fellows and the small chat began. Sofi was a 21 year old Russian and ready to have some fun, so she was handed some cock. Tony sweeped Sasha off her feet and placed her on the couch. We had to make sure she had two hard nipples which let the games begin. We stripped the girls down and went to sexy town. These two girls offered the best of both worlds, and brought the goods to a flavorful party. Sofi went for it all as she took it in her ass. The guys took everything these girls had to offer and splattered their own offer around in return.

When I spoke to Sasha over the phone, she informed me that since she really enjoyed her last stay with us that she was definitely renting from us again. When she arrived I was surprised by her new look. Sasha changed her hair color from black to blond and she has been working out. Choky had the pleasure of exploring her beautiful body with his slick tongue. He tongue fucked her pussy and ass until she had an amazing orgasm. Sasha then stuffed her mouth with Chokys hard cock and sucked it until he was ready for the grand back door entry.

The sexy, Sasha came to stay at the apartment. She was a very cute, nineteen year old, petite girl with beautiful eyes. She was already informed about the special payment and was ready and willing. She called James to come to the bedroom to fuck her sweet pussy. She had some nice perky tits and a luscious ass. She loved sucking that cock and was very good at it. She got her pussy drilled and then she asked nicely to get fucked in her ass. James fulfilled her wishes and pounded her asshole. She loved playing with her twat as she got pumped in her ass. She got buttermilk all over her.

We accept all apparent the account apropos this accustomed American problem: adipose children. In actuality according to the Center for Chronic Ache Prevention and Bloom Promotion, "Childhood blubber has added than tripled in the accomplished 30 years. The prevalence of blubber a allotment of accouchement age-old 6 to 11 years added from 6.5% in 1980 to 19.6% in 2008. The prevalence of blubber a allotment of adolescents age-old 12 to 19 years added from 5.0% to 18.1%". Unfortunately, the statistics are even added affecting for Black and Hispanic kids. This agency that at atomic 20% of the next bearing of adults will be obese. It's a affair that accept to be advised and managed anon if we are to advance our next bearing of youth.
Obese accouchement run the accident of cardiovascular disease, top claret burden and top cholesterol. Additionally, they are at greater accident for cartilage and collective problems, beddy-bye apnea and generally are the accountable of badinage and blowing in their schools and their communities. Furthermore, they generally are abandoned and can become depressed, anti-social and fearful. Unfortunately, this botheration about does not abide in adolescence abandoned as adipose kids than become adipose adults and the bloom risks abide to arise including diabetes, stroke, cancer, osteoarthritis amidst others.
The accessible acknowledgment to these apropos are managing caloric assimilation and auspicious concrete activity. However contempo analysis indicates that these may not be the alone issues to consider. Studies accept apparent that adipose accouchement in fact yield in beneath calories than advantageous kids starting at about seven years old. These allegation announce that a focus on caloric assimilation may not accommodate a band-aid to this accretion problem. Additionally, it appears that concrete action is the absolute altitude of a advantageous adolescent adult. Also advisers in Britain begin that canteen fed breed were added acceptable to become adipose accouchement over breastfed infants. The catechism of blubber is added complicated by illnesses such as hypothyroidism, Cushing's syndrome, abasement and assertive acoustic problems that can advance to overeating. Also, drugs such as steroids and some antidepressants may could cause weight gain. Furthermore, According to a University of California abstraction a accepted algid virus may be amenable for creating ample kids. Those accouchement with the virus were in fact 50 pounds added than those who did not accept it.
So what is the solution? Obviously we all charge to allotment in the albatross for adopting a bearing that can action adequately. Additionally, to actualize a bearing of adults who are depressed, aflutter and non-functioning as a aftereffect of the letters beatific in our commercial and media is not an acknowledgment either. As Americans we are aloft as consumers with an aggression of letters cogent us to eat added with anytime beyond quantities. We accept contests to see who can eat the a lot of pies, the a lot of hot dogs, or alcohol the a lot of beer. Furthermore, parents are added and added alert about acceptance their accouchement the abandon to appear and go as they amuse abnormality the streets in adolescence amateur of adumbrate and seek, appropriately attached the possibilities for any anatomy of concrete activity. All of this is added complicated by the abundance and availability of the internet and the abounding alluring adventures accessible there. Game systems which physique absolute eco systems, societies and kingdoms attract our adolescence to absorb amaranthine hours arena in basic reality. So how do we abode this problem?
It is one which apropos us all and we should yield an alive role in acclamation it. First of all, academy airheaded and candy should be revisited with artistic representation of the aliment groups which advance a convalescent diet, i.e. fruits and vegetables included. Candy accept to be developed to accommodate comestible options rather than the latest trend in clutter food. Secondly, any and all concrete activities which were already a allotment of a academy day should be instituted with structured amateur included for all. Those accouchement with weight issues should be monitored on a approved base by academy cadre to ensure that blowing and aggravation are not blame them into added abasement and abandonment which generally leads to added eating. Support groups for ancestors associates and their accouchement should be developed with nutritionists and medical cadre accessible to accommodate able administration of comestible concerns.
Furthermore as association associates we should all be acquainted of the stereo types which abide apropos obesity. Our ambition accept to be to accommodate fair and according analysis for everyone, abnormally our children. Ultimately we accept to seek admittance for those accouchement who accept been abandoned or outcasts in their own amusing circles and communities. Outreach programs to animate action and the development of relationships should be accurate and nurtured. Why not advance a coach affairs or a big brother/sister affairs aggressive against the adipose child? Additionally, programs agnate to the Special Olympics could be instituted to draw out the accouchement who accept not acquainted able accommodating in a lot of concrete activities.
This affair will eventually appulse us all if we accede the added bloom affliction costs, the abeyant for continued acceptance of cerebral casework and the costs associated with that blazon of care. Furthermore, ailing canicule and lower abundance will affect our plan environments and potentially abate our alive activity force as a aftereffect of the added costs involved. As these issues become added absolute in our adeptness there will be the addiction to abuse those who are adipose and added absolute their adeptness to advance a fruitful, advantageous life. Therefore it is in our best absorption to thoroughly appraise these issues NOW and yield the accomplish all-important to accommodate a healthy, advantageous ambiance for our children. We accept the adeptness to about-face this trend about if we all participate in its resolution. Will you yield the accomplish in your own apple to ensure that these accouchement are not abandoned or ignored? Speak out to ensure that we advance able strategies and programs to arrest this actual alarming trend in today's world.

'I'm a Good Cook!': Which of These Aspiring Sex-Havers Will You Spend the Blizzard With?
Have you heard that the east coast is about to be enveloped by a giant, pink vagina of a snow storm?
Have you heard that the east coast is about to be enveloped by a giant, pink vagina of a snow storm?
Much of the East Coast is about to get slammed by a nor'easter, with areas in and around Washington D.C. set to receive up to two feet or more of snow. Schools have been canceled, airports are functionally shut down, and even D.C.'s Metro is set to shutter for the weekend. But you're hungry, and you've either got…
There's a blizzard coming! (Again.) People are freaking out! (Again.) And thank god for that. In situations like this, constant, irrational panic is your best course of action. Because do you know what happens to people who think everything's going to turn out fine? Why don't we ask a hungry little group called The…
In case you haven't heard, the chunk of America where most of the media lives is about to be buried in snow by an omnipotent but indifferent god. New York City is shutting off its express subway trains. Connecticut's blocking off roads. Boston is almost literally closed tomorrow. This all means that for the next 24…
After a short night of restless sleep, it appears that forecasters are still predicting the end of the world in the Northeast this evening. If you haven't panicked yet, you have several hours to do so before it's too late. Hug your children. Hoard booze. This is not a drill. Here's what you need to know to make it…
All signs point to a significant blizzard in the Northeast on Monday night and Tuesday, with major cities like New York and Boston probably measuring snow in feet by the time the storm clears out. If the forecast pans out, this will be one of the most significant winter storms we've seen in quite a few years.
The game director for Blizzard Entertainment's upcoming Heroes of the Storm has apologized for his treatment of a question about how characters are designed—specifically how multiplayer online battle arena games, of which Heroes is one, tend to hyper-sexualize female avatars.
A 23-year-old student who lived on melted snow and candy bars during a 9 day ordeal in remote Arizona says she's thankful to be alive. And that's the last time she house sits at Dakota Fanning's ski chalet.
God shat on Chicago this week, blessing us with more than 20 inches of powdery white misery and two days of citywide chaos. In the blizzard's wake is only the misery and claustrophobia known as cabin fever. Suffer with me.
[Kearny, N.J., December 27: Justine Kasztelan, 17, practices winter sports downhill on a street in her neighborhood the morning following a snow storm. Lemons, lemonade! Image via AP.]
Whether you're snowed in or snowed out, you may enjoy these shots of kids and dogs playing in the drifts from this week's storm — and showing that snow rocks when you don't have a job.
After this weekend's Northeast snowpocalypse, you've probably been hearing stories about travelers delayed for hours, even days. So how does shit get so bad that your flight is pushed back a whole week? Allow me to explain, firsthand.
Watch a backyard in New Jersey get completely buried by snow. It took mother nature all night, but you can see it in the video in a matter of seconds.
Would you like to be tossed barefoot into an 8-foot snow bank? Then why would you do it to your cat? Hopefully the cat owners featured in these YouTube videos will find a poop in their snow boot. [The Awl]

The new site, which is now live for North America and Europe (a site for Asia currently is in development), also features downloadable wallpaper, a continuously updated news section, player profile section, and other major upgrades. In coming months, the site will be expanded to highlight Wilson badminton, squash, and racquetball.

We all apply it in the morning after washing helping each other with the can't reach areas, wait 15 minutes for it to soak in and then get dressed, then you can forget about it and not worry about burning.
It is a bit more expensive than other sun creams but if you try this product, as my wife and I were first advised to do by a barman in Lanzerote, you will use it all the time.
It is sold the perfume shops of most resorts and sometimes you can get it cheaper there.
I strongly advise anyone with kids or burns easily to buy some of this and use it on your next holiday or day out in the sun.
I love this product! Once you have it on and have waited the 15 minutes, that's it. You don't have to bother for the rest of the day. Also you don't perspire or feel sticky. I took a 20 and a 10 with me and at first I thought I wasn't getting a tan, it just seemed so easy. No red bits, no sore bits. By the time I came back I had a really nice colour but the strange thing is, it seemed to deepen as time went on, not fade. Even now, having been back about ten weeks I still have some colour, and I didn't need to use an aftersun or moisturiser, and my skin feels lovely and soft.
People say it is expensive but the two bottles lasted me for two weeks because of only applying once a day. Normally I would take six or seven bottles with me, so if anything I think it works out cheaper.
I cannot praise this product highly enough and will never use anything else.
As a red head who holidays in Spain, I have real problems with sunburn. With conventional suntan lotion, you put it on and it washes off in the sea or it needs re-applying after an hour or 2. So inevitably I have got sunburned a number of times.
So I was skeptical when a friend recommended Reimann lotion, but I was astonished to find it really works. I put it on in the morning and forget about it. In and out of the water, perspiring in the heat, no re-application for 6 hours and yet no burning and for the first time in my life I've got a tan. Brilliant!
The only reason why I have not given it 5 stars is that it hasn't got that wonderful fragrance that some other brands have.

I had very nice time at the hostel. Nice and helpful staff, great atmosphere and I found it clean. Only the breakfast was a bit poor, maybe some savory would make it better. And the bathrooms where a bit tiny. But I will definitely recommend this hostel! The area, Palermo, is also really nice!

Historical Traveler Reviews Russell Court Hotel Dublin
Nice furniture and a pleasant stay
I stayed at this hotel for one night with my girlfriend in September 2003.
Its in a good location and is within walking of the main shopping street and the main street with all the pubs and clubs which I think was called O'Neill street.
We stayed in a room on the top or second to top floor and was not affected by any noise from the street. The room had beautiful furniture and was very spacious. The room was equipped with a fridge, TV and a couch.
There was a large construction operation on the roads at the time due to the tram line installation and was difficult to drive to the hotel.
I understand there was limited car parking spaces as well at the hotel.
Bad reports not fair
After reading poor reviews we tried to cancel our booking at Russell Court, but beware they charge a full nights stay for each room booked.
This being the case we decided to risk it anyway - how pleased we did.
We where given suites on the top floor of the Hotel. Yes it was oldie worldie, but it was spotlessly clean, Staff very pleasant, we dined at the Hotel and were the only diners in there for the whole evening, what a shame, it was really delicious and at 30 euros each for a 3 course meal and coffee, it was worth every penny. It was a bit noisy with the tram lines being laid and the nightclubs kicking out, but not unduly so, cant say it really bothered us. Yes we would definetly stay at Russell Court again. (Not a place for children though)
Excellent value
Beautiful Georgian Hotel, central location - within easy walking distance of all major attractions in central Dublin. Fantastic beer garden which we made the most of due to the brilliant weather during our stay. Lively hotel with 2 nightclubs but not nearly as noisy as expected - must admit we were a bit apprehensive after reading previous reviews subsequent to booking but were pleasantly surprised - not much wrong with hearing other people enjoying themselves and they certaily did seem to be having a good time - only sorry we had had too hectic a day to stand the pace. Could not believe the value for money and would certainly go back again. It is a pity about the road works due to the new tram system but I am sure it will make travelling round this wonderful city easier in the long term - no pain no gain!!!!! At least they are doing something about their public transport system.
Great staff
we stayed here last year and are going again this year.the staff were brilliant and so was the craic.yes it was maybe a bit noisy but it is a city centre hotel in a very large city.absolutly no complaints.
Great Hotel, but sleepless nights.
This is a great hotel with good rooms, good bar and with an excellent beer garden. Sadly, this is spoilt by the night clubs at the top of Harcourt Street which are open till the small hours. The noise starts around 1.30pm and does not let up till 4pm.The situation is made worse as the sudents want to play with the workmans toys (mechanical diggers, dumper trucks), the whole street is currently being dug up to install a tram route and this is a great source of entertainment to all that pass down the street. The local police were called the nights I stayed there, but they did not want to make too much of a stance. If you do stay here, try to get a room at the back of the hotel, also, only pay a deposit and then you have a bargaining tool if you are not happy.
Enjoyed Russell Court Hostel!
The Hotel was beautifully furnished in Georgian funiture and has a lovely lobby as you enter. Rooms are a good size, with a longe area and four poster bed. The bathroom was fine, but the free standing back which looked appealing is not intended for use - as the plug was too big!!! There is a 24 hour bar service and clubs open over weekend nights. Only problem was the noise. There was a function room being used next to our room and the noise went on until quite late, so check first when booking if they noise is a problem. Its position is very convieniant for shops and bars and places of interest all within working distance. It cost around 25euros for a taxi (including tip), but worth it for the knowledgable taxi drivers on Dublins history and places worth visiting!
A nightclub with rooms
You've heard of restaurants with rooms - well, this is a nightclub with rooms. Harcourt Street seems like any other Dublin back street until it hots up at 11 o'clock at night. If your room is on the front then you have two options - either dance the night away or forget any idea of sleep until after about 4 o'clock when everyone who's partied has very loudly hailed the last taxi in town. Breakfast is "full Irish" or toast which at these prices isn't compatible with a sleepless night.
Beware of Students Night
When we booked we were aware that there could be some noise at weekends, subsequently we booked three nights starting from a Monday.
Monday and Tuesday nights were fine, very little noise, except from traffic, but otherwise acceptable. The staff were adequate without being exceptional and the hotel was clean and quite nicely furnished. The bedrooms were quite spacious an comfortable and all seemed well.
But then came Wednesday night. What a night we spent. The nightclub was in full swing, but why? it was a Wednesday, not a weekend. Then it came to us, it was Students Night, and the noise was unbearable. The Bass was turned up full and we were nearly shook out of bed. Heads under pillows, or anything else just did not work. The whole building was shaking and to top it all the fire alarms were set of twice. This went on until 4.00 am at which time we were almost out of our minds. It was without doubt the worst night ever spent in a hotel. We were warned about room 19, our party were in rooms 24 and 25, so I would sayy beware of all rooms especially on students night.
Tyne & Wear
Avoid Room 19
We booked into the Russell Court Hotel fully aware that it was "a lively City Centre hotel."
We were given room 19 (only a bath - and no real shower)which was immediately adjacent to the library bar. On our return a disco was in full swing in the library bar. Even with ear plugs, head under the pillow and head up a convinient body orifice it was still as if the music was in the room.
In fairness a request for a room change was expedited with good grace and we moved to the top floor where, with the use of the aformentioned ear plugs, we managed some sleep. However, elevator did not work until last day of saty!
Had not a room change been possible we would have had to find other accomodation.
Fair accomodation, good food and we paid a reasonable price. Great if you want to party into the small hours but I would not recommend if you need some sleep to explore some of the delights of Dublin and surrounding areas.
Harcourt Street is busy (and noisy) all night.
Nice beer garden. Staff in the resturant were good.
By the way I suspect room 18 and many of those on ground and first floor suffer from the noise as well. Night club goes on until 3am.
Loud & Lively
When I received my confirmation e-mail for the Russell Court, I found the last line a bit unusual: "Please be aware that we are a lively City Center hotel".
I should have inquired what that meant before my arrival.
I ended up checking out after only one night because of the incredible noise from the street: not just cars and trucks all night long, but rowdy nightlife as well. The hotel has a bar as well as a nightclub on the ground floor. I
unfortunately did not have a functioning radiator to provide heat to the room (in February it was certainly missed), and in the morning found no hot water in the bathroom, and waited over an hour for assistance. It added up for me to a fairly unpleasant stay. The manager did refund me 30 Euros of the 102 Euro rate.

Publishers Weekly - Publisher's WeeklyWritten in the first person and in a clear voice distinguished by a curiously plaintive bravado, these seven distinctive stories all concern a personality seeking to assert, or possibly find, itself. After a frightening visit to an eye doctor, teenager Charlotte wanders into a bar for a Coke and encounters older, sophisticated Chris, involving herself in a relationship that will undermine her already fragile self-perception. The same Charlotte, now in her 20s, in flight from a man whose passion has cooled, takes refuge with Cinder, whose plethora of beaux points up Charlotte's lack of romantic relationships. The woman in the title story dumps her job and her apartment in response to a phone call from an old lover and rushes to spend Christmas with him in Canada, only to wait for him to return from a visit to his former wife and their small son. In its own fashion, each of these tales is an eloquent lesson in traveling light, heavy though the inner burden may be. (March 17)

We had to wear Kevlar and helmets when standing watch on Guam over the New Years eve. Bullets rained down from all the locals firing into the air at midnight. One round lodged itself in the engine block of my supervisor's car. We ask the command if that qualified us for a Combat Action Ribbon, they said no . . . :(

Flew over Afghanistan one night at the end of Ramadan in 2001. As we flew over Mazar-i-Sharif, it looked like every gun in the world - small arms, light AAA, some heavy caliber weapons - was being fired up in the air. An amazing sight. And a confusing one. I'll never understand it.

An algorithm is proposed, which combines Zero-pole Model and Hough Transform (HT) to detect singular points. Orientation of singular points is defined on the basis of the Zero-pole Model, which can further explain the practicability of Zero-pole Model. Contrary to orientation field generation, detection of singular points is simplified to determine the parameters of the Zero-pole Model. HT uses rather global information of fingerprint images to detect singular points. This makes our algorithm more robust to noise than methods that only use local information. As the Zero-pole Model may have a little warp from actual fingerprint orientation field, Poincare index is used to make position adjustment in neighborhood of the detected candidate singular points. Experimental results show that our algorithm performs well and fast enough for real-time application in database NIST-4.

University study shows UK still prefers face-to-face communication
A study has been conducted by the University of Cambridge that suggests one in three people feel overwhelmed by communications technology.
The study, commissioned by BT to promote the BT Balanced Communications Diet, looked into the impact of texting, email and social networking on the individual and family life; it found that although the majority saw comms technology as having an overall positive effect, for some the wave of innovation in this area seemed to be getting a bit much.
"A survey conducted as part of the study revealed that feeling overwhelmed by communications technology is similar for adults and children, with 38% of 10-18 year olds claiming to feel this way and 25-34 year olds not far behind, with 34% of that age group feeling overwhelmed.
"Furthermore, the survey of 1,269 people and in-depth interviews with families in the UK revealed that those people who have frequently felt overwhelmed are also more likely to feel less satisfied with their life as a whole."
This feeling of being overwhelmed, perhaps, stems not so much from its use - as the majority of people will no doubt manage to find a balance between their real and online worlds - but from the weight of new technology and gadgets being marketed. Often it seems that no sooner have you figured out how to use a swanky new gadget, we're then being lured into buying another, even swankier, one.
However, perhaps the most interesting statistic came through information stating that 64 per cent of children and 65 per cent of adults in the UK still prefer to communicate face-to-face.
Although this could be seen as "dispelling the myth that they [children] only communicate via technology or are losing the desire and ability to participate in in-person interactions", it still hints of the possibility that 35 per cent of the survey preferred some other method of communication other than face-to-face.
However, we still need to be cautious as although it is possible to infer that 35 per cent do not like face-to-face communication, it's important to take into account variables such as inherent shyness, or specific conditions, like aspergers. There's also the fact that there are many alternatives, so it may not mean that 35 per cent do not like face-to-face communication, but that people prefer many different types of communication.
The study remains food for thought, as it's one thing using communication technology because it's convenient and quite another using it because we are uncomfortable with the alternative.

Who am I? An old friend of mine likes to describe me as the most generous, caring friend he knows, while simultaneously being the most devious, satirical, pragmatist he knows. He's mostly right.... The truth is I'm very friendly and outgoing, and genuinely like helping others. To balance this, I've got a twisted sort of humor that loves playing devil's advocate at the expense of social norms. Fear not though, I usually know when I can and can't get away with a faux pas.
(a) I'm an avid reader, enjoying everything from SciFi (Ender's Game Series) to fantasy (GoT, Kingkiller Chronicles) to pop fiction (Anita Blake, Dresden Files), and many more.
(b) I'm always down for a good movie, be it a quality classic (The Goonies, Evil Dead, Ferris Bueller, The Princess Bride), a geeky action ( The Dark Knight, The Avengers), feel-good movies (American Beauty, Devil's Advocate, Saved, Dr.Horrible's Sing-along Blog), or anything by Kevin Smith.
(c) I prefer 90s rock, but aren't too picky. My pandora bounces between Tori Amos, Nirvana, U2, David Bowie, Moby, The Cranberries, and Ramstein (plus most things in between).
(d) I often cook, and my favorites tend towards the spicy. My gym mates all call me rumcake after the delicious edible sponge of alcohol I make for parties. Also, I'm often down for some Sushi!
I casually started a convo with a stranger here because we had similar interests at the time. We had similar tastes in movies and music, and we were both into counterstrike (an old shoot'em up computer game). After a couple weeks, rather than meeting for the first time over coffee, I invited her to a LAN party to geek out over computer games. Unsure at first (who wouldn't be nervous meeting a stranger at a private home ), her boredom won out and she convo'd me for the address.
Of all the places in the entire city of Omaha, she was in the house next door. We both walked out onto each house's porch, and we were right next to each other! How does that happen? It was so weird!!

Burned (original 2006; edition 2006)
by Ellen Hopkins
Work details
Burned by Ellen Hopkins (2006)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
It was an atypical novel in that it was in verse and it included a dialogue on the Mormon religion. I enjoyed it up until the end; the shift just feels hopeless and unrealistic.
Well, I'm not gonna lie--I really didn't like this book. On the one hand, the story itself was a lot more fun to read than that of Crank and Glass, which actually didn't have a story beyond chronicling the main character's drug use.
On the other hand... Blech. In the first place I hate the teenagers Hopkins writes. They are just obnoxious. They might be realistic, although I have to say, I have never known a teenager who refers to sex as "making love." (And speaking of which, gag me with the cheesy writing. I accidentally returned the book so I can't look up any examples, but I will tell you that her protagonist, Pattyn, refers to her crush as "Furnace Lips.")
Also, her teenager characters always believe they are in love--or, as they call it, "forever love"--after approximately two days of knowing someone. Yeah, of course I was like that too, but between the ages of 13 and 15. Her characters are 17 and 18 years old, and by then even I, the most naive teenager who ever lived, knew it takes a little longer than that to really know. Also, when they have sex for the first time, the boy says "Let me show you what love is." SEX IS NOT LOVE. Come on, Hopkins. (To her credit, I have to say that she is diligent about making the point that sex is better when you love the person. But I consider that small potatoes in light of how freely she writes sex into the lives of teens--who, it just so happens, ALWAYS think they're in love.)
(Related side note: It really irritated me that adults encouraged the teens in this belief. Even an adult who is still in love with her high school sweetheart should know that that's a rare thing, and know better than to encourage a girl to believe that her first boyfriend, who she's known for a grand total of two months, is THE ONE.)
Next there's the Mormon stuff. There were some things I could relate to, realizing that though I never felt that way myself at the time, I probably would have if I'd been like I am now. But while I could understand some of the cynicism, I was also very aware that the author was not trying to paint an objective picture of the LDS church as a whole.
Pattyn asks her bishop if it's okay for a man to beat his wife; the bishop tells her that although violence is never right it is a man's duty to keep his wife in check, and then calls her a liar and says he hopes she's not accusing her father of doing that. (Pattyn's mother wears sunglasses to church every week to hide her bruises.) She is also told a story in which, when he was younger, her father held a gun to the heads of his sister and her boyfriend, telling them that if he ever saw them together again he would kill them both. In this story, Pattyn's aunt went to the sheriff, who was also the bishop, and who said that he couldn't do anything because there wasn't enough evidence. Pattyn then decides that she can't trust a Mormon leader OR the police ever again. The patriarchal church infrastructure creates an environment in which these things can happen and go unchallenged, and that's one of the most significant problems with it. But while it's entirely possible that those things could happen, and I know they have happened in one form or other, it's incredibly inaccurate and unfair to be blatantly stating that this is just what Mormon leaders are like.
And, finally, there's the ending. Which I will not spoil for you--but I will tell you that I found it completely unbelievable, not rational in the context of the storyline, and just kind of dumb. By that time I was just glad to be done, and I don't think I'm interested in reading any more of Hopkins's books.
I wish this woman would stop ruining my life.
"Burned" is a novel about a young girl struggling to deal with her restrictive, Mormon religion and alcoholic, abusive father. Told in verse, this is a hard-hitting story with a shock ending. I like Pattyn as a protagonist and the way she questions God, women's rights and life in general. However, my favourite character is Pattyn's Aunt J who helps Pattyn to realise her own self-worth and opens her eyes to the options available to her beyond being a wife and mother. The romance between Pattyn and Ethan is touching, although a bit rushed. Unfortunately, there is no happy ending and it is heart-wrenching knowing that despite everything Pattyn has been through her future looks bleak. Hope there's a sequel.
Burned is narrated by a high school girl (Pattyn) growing up in a strict mormon family. She suffers silently as her family takes a backseat to her religion and she start to question and explore life to find her place in a world where she's told that women are nothing more than property. She is told that she is evil and full of sin and that she needs a man to validate her. To make matters worse, she is the oldest of many children and plays the role of mother to each of them. She cooks, and cleans and changes diapers all while her mother sits on the sofa watching tv and her father gets drunk. After she was caught "acting out" (doing things a normal teenager girl would do) her father sends her to stay with his sister for the summer. There she finds out more of her family history and she finds herself. Once returns home she does her best to hide her confidence and assimilate into the mormon community again even though she may never truly fit in again.
My thoughts:
This is the fourth book that I have read by Ellen Hopkins. I started with Crank and finished that series. It was those books that made me order the rest of her works.
Burned is a good read. Pattyn is a typical teenager girl struggling with identity. Her thoughts and actions are realistic and the plot was interesting. If you've grown up in a strict religious home then you may resonate with some of the thoughts that she had. I grew up Christian and had to learn how my faith fit in to the rest of the world. Granted I did not have to deal with 25% of the problems that she encountered. Just thinking of girls out there suffering through this makes me tear up.
Overall I enjoyed the book and finished is pretty quickly. Th plot was paced well and the main character was likable instantly. The only thing that was bittersweet was the ending. It made me sad. (I won't give it away). I was sad because of what happened and I was sad because of what that meant. I was hoping that thing would turn out differently but now I am ready to read the next book. (Im going to start is once I finish this review).

Jeb Bush TV Ads Support GOP Candidate in Pinellas Congressional Race
Published: Tuesday, February 4, 2014 at 7:57 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 4, 2014 at 12:34 p.m.
MIAMI | Popular former Gov. Jeb Bush is playing a starring role in a high-stakes Florida congressional election.
He appears in a new TV ad to help Republican David Jolly in the race to fill the seat of the late Rep. Bill Young. The spot is funded by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and begins airing Tuesday in Florida's 13th Congressional District, which includes the St. Petersburg area.
Bush, also a Republican, says in the ad that Jolly knows how to "get things done" in a dysfunctional Washington. Jolly is locked in a tight race with Democrat Alex Sink in the swing-voting district.
The chamber ad is the latest addition to a multimillion-dollar ad war being financed by both political parties and outside groups in advance of the March 11 special election.
As the first major matchup in advance of this year's midterm elections, the contest is shaping up to be the proving ground for political arguments Republicans and Democrats hope will resonate with moderate voters. The outcome could serve as an early indicator of the 2014 political climate.
Republicans are blistering Sink over the disastrous launch of Obama's health care law. Democrats are tying Jolly to the far-right wing of the GOP, which helped trigger a government shutdown last year.
While Young kept the seat in Republican hands for more than four decades, the younger, more racially diverse population of St. Petersburg has helped make the region swing-voting territory. Voters in the district backed former President George W. Bush in 2004 before narrowly supporting Barack Obama twice.
The National Republican Congressional Committee is spending more than $200,000 on television ads opposing Sink, in addition to three Republican groups that are plowing $1.2 million into the race. Democrats, meanwhile, have reserved more than $2.5 million in advertising, mostly aimed at criticizing Jolly's time as a lobbyist.
