Cordelia is one of my top Formidable Female Protagonists read more about her below.
Someone asked why formidable female protagonists? Mainly because I like reading about them and because doing the research for this series is fun for me (I know it's probably brain damage).
As always it has been fun researching the list, I pick up new books to read all the time. 45 down and 29 more protagonists to go. The females are carefully selected by me, their names written on paper, folded and put in one of two bowls, one for new-to-me and one for read-by-me. I then select four read and one new-to-me and write about them. I am open to suggestions for more females to include.
Here is the list, read about them below.
- Shan Frankland – Immortal Diplomat (Karen Traviss)
- Acorna – Unicorn Girl (Anne McCaffrey, Margaret Ball, Elizabeth Ann Scarborough)
- Moon – Clone Goddess (Joan D. Vinge)
- Cordelia Naismith – Free Your Mind (Lois McMaster Bujold)
- Catherine Li – Human Construct (Chris Moriarty)
Shan Frankland – Immortal Diplomat
Books: City of Pearl (2004), Crossing the Line (2004), The World Before (2005), Matriarch (2006), Ally (2007), and Judge (2008).
Series: Wess'har Wars
Author: Karen Traviss
Genre: Environmental Space Opera
Publisher: EON of Harper Collins
Shan is a formidable woman with strong personal principles. She is a hardened law enforcement officer that has a history of association with 'eco-terrorists'. She is the protagonist of the Wess'har War novels. During the series she grows and develops more and more 'human' feelings as she deals with an alien empire of eco-facists do goodies that want to force other races to live in harmony with nature. She mainly deals with their outcast colony, who left because they didn't agree with their aggressive methods. She also have to deal with a peculiar alien parasite that makes people it infect immortal, something that would destroy the human race if it become wide spread.
I read the books and made some short informative comments about each.
- City of Pearl – Eco cop Shan Frankland is sent to a presumed lost colony at Cavenagh's Star only to find that it is still very much alive thanks to the alien Wess'har. Imagine humanity meeting a race of fundamental militant vegan eco-terrorist aliens …
- Crossing the Line – Shan takes up living with the wess'har.
- The World Before – Remember the echo-vegan-militant-fundamentalist aliens? Meet their relatives that sees them as lax hippies!
- Matriarch – Ade, Shan and Eddie fulfil their relationships.
- Ally – Okay, so the newly converted Skaven race are fanatic eco jihadiem, now they are brought in to beef up the local planet cleaning business.
- Judge – Time to clean up Earth.
I am so happy I like Karen Traviss, she is a really good world weaver and she brings a modern view to the eco angle.
Acorna – Unicorn Girl
Books: Acorna: The Unicorn Girl (1997), Acorna's Quest (1998), Acorna's People (1999), Acorna's World (2000), Acorna's Search (2001), Acorna's Rebels (2003), Acorna's Triumph (2004)
Series: Acorna
Author: Anne McCaffrey & Margaret Ball (1-2), Anne McCaffrey & Elizabeth Ann Scarborough (3-7)
Genre: Space Opera
Publisher: Corgi | Severn House | Harper Collins
Acorna is a unicorn girl, lost in an escapepod in human space when her parents' ship was attacked, so she grows up with humans. Her people are peaceful but she who has grown up among humans feels different about it. I like the early books where she fight evil aliens, frees slaves and try to find her way back to her people. Later books flip out a bit too much in my opinion. Time travel and improbable plot twists eventually made me abandon the series, but the first books are great.
Acorna: The Unicorn Girl – "Something's Alive In There!".
She was just a little girl, with a tiny horn in the center of her forehead, funny-looking feet, beautiful silver hair, and several curious powers: the ability to purify air and water, make plants grow, and heal scars and broken bones. A trio of grizzled prospectors found her drifting in an escape pod amid the asteroids, adopted her, and took her to the bandit planet Kezdet, a place where no questions are asked and the girl might grow up free.
But Kezdet has its own dark secret. The prosperity of the planet is based on a hideous trade in child slave labor, administered by "The Piper" — a mystery man with special plans for Acorna and her powers. But free little girls have a way of growing into freedom-loving young women, and Acorna has special plans all her own. . .
Acorna's Quest – Found as an infant drifting in space, Acorna, the Unicorn Girl, has become a young woman. She still has her tiny, translucent horn, and her "funny" feet and hands. And, she still has her miraculous ability to make plants grow and heal human sickness. But Acorna has strange dreams of a gentle folk who mind-speak by touching horns. With her "Uncle" Calum, one of the three grizzled asteroid prospectors who rescued, protected, and raised her, she sets off to find her people. No sooner does she leave than a mysterious craft appears, piloted by the Linyaari, a gentle race with telepathic powers. The Linyaari are roaming the galaxy, spreading the alarm about the deadly Khleev—And searching for a beloved little girl they had given up for lost, long ago…
Acorna's People – "Welcome Home, Linyaari Child!"
With the help of her "uncles" and the thousands of humans who love and admire her, Acorna has found her true people, the peaceful, telepathic Linyaari. But Acorna still has much to do before she can enjoy her new home. The legendary resting place of the lost Linyaari ancestors has yet to be found. And with the help of a rogue spacetrader and his feline sidekick, Acorna must strive to right an unspeakable wrong and defeat an enemy even crueler than the Khleevi. Along the way, she will at last uncover the Universe's most carefully guarded secret—the true nature of the ancient link between the Linyaari and the space-faring humans she has also come to think of as her "people."
Acorna's World – Althought she has made peace with her Linyaari heritage, Acorna knows that only by returning to the frozen stillness of space will she ever truly feel at home. But the solitude she desires must wait. Answering a faint distress signal leads Acorna to a strange, perfumed world where plants are sentient and think. There she finds a burned-out ship with all the signs of a Khleevi attack. It's been suspected that these enemy aliens have been planning a major assault throughout the region, and now it appears those rumors are true. Facing annihilation of her entire race, Acorna must discover the Khleevi's weakness—and strike first!
Acorna's Search – In this new tale, Acorna's people, the Linyaari, have survived an attack from a mortal enemy, but their planet, naarhi-Vhiliinyar, and their original homeworld, Vhiliinyar, have been ravaged. Now, they are determined to restore both. But as their work begins, Linyaari begin disappearing, including Acorna's lifemate, Aari. Searching for him, Acorna discovers the remains of a subterranean world that belonged to the Friends, an advanced society that populated Vhiliinyar long ago. What happened to the Friends? Acorna knows that to save Aari, she must find the answers—a quest that will take her back into deep space to uncover the origins of her people.
Acorna's Rebels – Acorna's people, the Linyaari, have begun reclaiming their homeworld from the ravages of the brutal Khleevi. But the first wave of explorers has unlocked a larger mystery about the origins of the Linyaari — one that has led Aari, Acorna's beloved lifemate, on a dangerous journey from which he may never return.
Setting off on a quest to find Aari, Acorna and her friends — Captain Becker, Mac, Nadhari, and RK — are forced to crash land on the beautiful and barbaric exotic jungle world of Makahomia, home of the mysterious Temple Cats. But an evil scheme threatens to destroy the sacred felines. To save the cats, Acorna will lead a band of rebels on a journey into Makahomia's temples and hidden sanctuaries.
And there, within one sacred shrine, she will discover shocking information that could lead to Aari . . .or to disaster.
Acorna's Triumph – Aari has returned! Now he and his lifemate, the brave and beautiful Acorna, can finish rebuilding their once-decimated homeworld. Yet Aari's travels through time have left him oddly changed, and he barely remembers Acorna or their love. And as Aari's actions turn more sinister, Acorna must shift her attention to stopping the destruction of innocents by a vicious criminal. It is precisely the sort of weakness and confusion the dreaded Khleevi have been hoping for, as the brutal insectile oppressors set in motion their final invasion and the total destruction of the Linyaari and the conquest of their world. Though Acorna's heart is wounded, her courage and determination must remain strong in this dark time — for only then will she be able to rescue the Aari she knows and adores, and halt the bloodthirsty alien menace for good and for all.
Moon – Clone Goddess
Books: The Snow Queen (1980), The Summer Queen (1991)
Series: The Snow Queen Cycle
Author: Joan D. Vinge
Genre: Space Opera
Publisher: Dial Press | Orbit | Questar | Easton Press | Warner books | Pan | Tor
Snow Queen – The imperious Winter colonists have ruled the planet Tiamat for 150 years, deriving wealth from the slaughter of the sea mers. But soon the galactic stargate will close, isolating Tiamat, and the 150-year reign of the Summer primitives will begin. All is not lost if Arienrhod, the ageless, corrupt Snow Queen, can destroy destiny with an act of genocide. Arienrhod is not without competition as Moon, a young Summer-tribe sibyl, and the nemesis of the Snow Queen, battles to break a conspiracy that spans space.
Summer Queen – Moon has succeeded the Snow Queen as ruler of Tiamat and, although still only a gentle 17-year-old, she must assume the powerful role of the Summer Queen. Through her tumultuous reign, she realizes that in order to save her universe, she must be more than a queen–she must become a goddess.
Cordelia Naismith – Free Your Mind
Books: Shards of Honor (1986), Barrayar (1991)
Omnibus: Cordelia's Honor (1996)
Author: Lois McMaster Bujold
Genre: Space Opera | Romance
Publisher: Baen
Cordelia is one of my favorite characters in science fiction.
In her first trial by fire, Cordelia Naismith captained a throwaway ship of the Betan Expeditionary Force on a mission to destroy an enemy armada. Discovering deception within deception, treachery within treachery, she was forced into a separate peace with her chief opponent, Lord Aral Vorkosigan—he who was called "The Butcher of Komarr"—and would consequently become an outcast on her own planet and the Lady Vorkosigan on his.
Sick of combat and betrayal, she was ready to settle down to a quiet life, interrupted only by the occasional ceremonial appearances required of the Lady Vorkosigan. But when the Emperor died, Aral became guardian of the infant heir to the imperial throne of Barrayar—and the target of high-tech assassins in a dynastic civil war that was reminscent of Earth's Middle Ages, but fought with up-to-the-minute biowar technology. Neither Aral nor Cordelia guessed the part that their cell-damaged unborn would play in Barrayari's bloody legacy.
An excellent recent article about Cordelia and Sex at Carnal Nation
Catherine Li – Human Construct
Books: Spin State (2003), Spin Control (2006)
Series: Spin
Author: Chris Moriarty
Genre: Space Opera | Military Science Fiction | Romance | Noir
Publisher: Random House
New to me, space opera – check, military – check, female protagonist – check. This should be my kind of book.
Spin State – UN Peacekeeper Major Catherine Li has made thirty-seven faster-than-light jumps in her lifetime—and has probably forgotten more than most people remember. But that's what backup hard drives are for. And Li should know; she's been hacking her memory for fifteen years in order to pass as human. But no memory upgrade can prepare Li for what she finds on Compson's World: a mining colony she once called home and to which she is sent after a botched raid puts her on the bad side of the powers that be. A dead physicist who just happens to be her cloned twin. A missing dataset that could change the interstellar balance of power and turn a cold war hot. And a mining "accident" that is starting to look more and more like murder…
Suddenly Li is chasing a killer in an alien world miles underground where everyone has a secret. And one wrong turn in streamspace, one misstep in the dark alleys of blackmarket tech and interstellar espionage, one risky hookup with an AI could literally blow her mind.
Spin Control – Call Arkady a clone with a conscience. Or call him a traitor. A member of the space-faring Syndicates, Arkady has defected to Israel with a hot commodity: a genetic weapon powerful enough to wipe out humanity. But Israel's not buying it. They're selling it–and Arkady–to the highest bidder.
As the auction heats up, the Artificial Life Emancipation Front sends in Major Catherine Li. Drummed out of the Peacekeepers for executing Syndicate prisoners, Li has now literally hooked up with an AI who has lived many lifetimes and shunted through many bodies. But while they have their own conflicting loyalties to contend with, together they're just one player in a mysterious high-stakes game….

via The New Yorker News Desk, December 23, 2010:
Posted by Claudia Roth Pierpont
Quietly moving through the Anselm Kiefer show at the Gagosian gallery on its final afternoon were eight people wearing black T-shirts that bore the show's portentous title—"Next Year in Jerusalem"—in English, Hebrew, and Arabic. They didn't speak unless spoken to; they took pictures of themselves standing before some equally portentous works of Holocaust-evoking art. (Everyone was taking pictures; the catalogue cost a hundred dollars.) Only if approached did one of the group explain that they were part of an organization called U.S. Boat to Gaza, which plans to sponsor a ship in the next flotilla to sail against the Israeli blockade. Half of the group had left, and they were reduced to four by the time that gallery representatives asked them to leave, unimpressed by their claims to be extending the discussion that Kiefer had begun. Morality. Guilt. Jewish tragedy, past and present. ("This is private property," a gallerista in towering heels shot back. "We're here to sell art.") A call to the police was threatened. In response, the activists put on their jackets—covering the offending Passover phrase, even while complaining that it had not, to their knowledge, been copyrighted—and asked if they might stay. Without reply, the representatives walked away.
Ingrid Homberg had gone to Gagosian that day to lift her spirits. A delicate blonde woman in her late fifties, she grew up in Germany—she is roughly of Kiefer's generation—but never felt that she belonged there; she moved to New York with her young daughter in 1980, and the city has proved a much happier fit. In recent years, however, she has been ill (fibromyalgia, arthritis) and suffers frequent pain. Still, she was immediately buoyed by Kiefer's magisterial landscapes, in which massive wings overhead suggest the judgment of God. The gallery was filled with such disturbing images. She had earlier noticed the people in the T-shirts, and now she approached them, hoping to discuss the feelings that the artist's work provoked.
But there was no discussion. Two police officers arrived just a moment after Homberg did, and ordered the group out. Including Homberg. She said that she had no reason to leave. She asked one of the officers—"Young man," she addressed him, and he did look very young—why they did not allow the group to speak. And that was it. His partner grabbed her by the arm and began to pull her out. The force of the motion caused her to lose her balance; she fell. And the Gagosian's chamber of artful horrors came to appalling life, as crowds of gallery goers, on a busy Saturday afternoon, watched a police officer drag a frail and terrified woman, howling with pain, across the floor of two long rooms to the doorway.
Many people might have assumed that her cries were part of a staged scene, since the protesters were shepherded out behind her, loudly bemoaning their deprivation of freedom of speech. But on the street, Homberg pulled off her coat and rolled up her sleeve to reveal an arm thickly blotched black and blue. The officer, she explained, had not merely grabbed her arm—thin enough, and easy to grab—but had strongly pressed his fingers into the upper inner muscle as he dragged her. The result, she said, was agony.
A sympathetic bystander informed the officers that they had made a mistake: the sobbing woman was not with the group and no one had ordered her out of the gallery. They replied that they had ordered her out, and she had not complied; therefore, no mistake was made. Homberg asked to speak to someone from the gallery, but her request, when relayed, was met with conspicuous disinterest. A Gagosian representative has since expressed regret that anyone was hurt during the "unfortunate disturbance." The New York Police Department, however, insists that Homberg was merely "escorted" from the gallery, and denies that she was dragged or mistreated in any way.
As she was bundled off for medical attention following the incident, Homberg continued to cry. She was upset, she said, because of the terrible pain, because of the shock, and because she had not been able to finish looking at the exhibition. The service of a car was offered by one of the protestors, who had somehow found time to change into a T-shirt that read "Greed Kills."
I had wavered about whether I wanted to bother writing about the Kiefer show. The show closed last week and that would have been that until this morning when I read an email forwarded to me by artist Joyce Kozloff from one of the protesters, anti-war activist Laurie Arbeiter.
From her email:
[read on... at Huffington Post or at Mira Schor's blog A Year of Positive Thinking]
In response to the title of the exhibition and the content of the work a small group of artists and activists decided to view the show wearing a shirt with the words Next Year In Jerusalem in the three languages Arabic, Hebrew and English. We spent about one to two hours looking at the exhibition, mainly individually, silently and respectfully with full consideration of others viewing the exhibition. We simply wore the words on our shirts and did not engage with anyone unless they struck up a conversation with us. A number of people asked some of us about the meaning of the message, gave positive feedback, showed interest, asked where they could get the shirts or occasionally questioned our political attitude toward Israel and Palestine. … We never had an incident, raised our voices, disrupted anyone, and were not approached by the multitudes of guards that were there. … We thought we were in an arena of ideas and that words on a t-shirt without any other provocation would be an acceptable method of free expression in response to Kiefer's work. We were so very wrong.
After about one and a half hours, half of our group left and four of us remained to continue to view the show. … Suddenly, out of nowhere, two representatives from the gallery approached us. One of them asked who our leader was. It was an odd question and I responded that we had no leader. … She then said that she had to ask us to leave the gallery. … At that point, the gallery employee ordered the guards, the same ones that had observed us for close to two hours with no incident, to surround us and escort us out. I told her that there was no reason to have us removed. The gallery employee explained that they had received complaints about the words on our shirt, which were causing confusion, and therefore we would have to leave. We then decided to cover the language even though it was very disturbing to do so and we did this reluctantly, understanding the profound irony against the back-drop of the Kiefer exhibition which embodies a life's work supposedly concerned with the horrors of state-sponsored repression, the brutality of occupation, racism, abuse of power, fascism and the consequences of forgetting history, not allowing for keen reflection in regard to current strains of unchecked power. I mentioned to the gallery employees that I thought we were in the realm of ideas inside the gallery space to which she replied that it was a private gallery in the business of selling art and that they wanted us to leave. On principle, something no longer that valued or defended in the public or private sector, we stayed, acting again in no way that could be deemed disruptive. The guards went back to their corners and we went back to our conversation. We thought that the incident was over. To all our shock, several minutes later the police arrived and completely disrupting the calm atmosphere in the gallery began to order us to leave and threatened us with arrest for trespassing.
Within minutes after the police arrived an incident unfolded that could only be described as brutal. Upon reflection, it was like a staged scene, depicting what happens when the very forces Kiefer warns us about go unchecked. The police came on very strong and at first directed their warning at us, overseen by the gallery personnel, who pointed us out to them. … The police officer was very rude and belligerent to her. All this unfolded rather quickly, within seconds and suddenly I saw him grab her forcefully, pinching the muscle of her arm as he began to drag her from the gallery. It was shocking as she was screaming that she was being hurt and yet he wouldn't remove his grip. I heard her cry in pain all the way out as she was being removed to the entrance. …. She was badly bruised and needed medical attention and was taken to a hospital emergency room.
These are the facts of my experience as it unfolded. It was and still is traumatizing to recount and to attempt to grapple with all the implications of these events unfolding against the backdrop of the Anselm Kiefer exhibition. … Our peaceful engagement with the Kiefer exhibition was not a demonstration that day in the gallery but the gallery deserves now to be shown what a real demonstration looks like in response to what it did.

Chanel evokes the androgynous spirit in their latest fall piece called "The Chanel Boy.Friend watch. Yes—"Boy", period, "Friend" watch—in case the random punctuation insertion threw you off! The name is a reference to Chanel's Boy bag, but also seems to play off the "boyfriend" styled trend of menswear inspired pieces that one could essentially steal from their boyfriend but still rock. The Boy.Friend is the first watch released by Chanel since 2000. Chanel introduced it to the social media world with the hashtag "#meetmyboyfriend".

Form meets function in Louis Vuitton's stylish Escale Spin Tiime watchCategories:Jewelry & Watches
Louis Vuitton's new Escale Spin Time watch will be an object of curiosity to watch collectors thanks to the way it combines two innovative concepts to form an artistic new timepiece. The Escale Spin Time features the brand's spin time complication encased in the distinctive Escale watch case. The dial features spinning cubes at the indices. Two faces of each cube feature have been hand painted with colorful miniature nautical flags, while the remaining two faces feature numerals for 12 and 24-hour timekeeping). Every hour, one of the cubes spins to reveal the hour of the day while a white hand indicates the minutes. Effectively, the dial of the watch changes with every passing hour, revealing the different flags.
This watch is available in two variants: one with a two-tone caseband and bezel made from pink gold and brushed titanium while the other features a case of titanium and white gold. It has a 42 hour power reserve and is water-resistant to 30m. The watches come with a black alligator strap with a vivid yellow lining. Its lugs and crown reference the iconic steamer trunks that are at the heart of the Louis Vuitton brand.
The watch is set to hit stores later this year.

Boys Rule?: New Chanel Boy.Friend WatchCategories:Jewelry & Watches
Especially as of late, Chanel thrives off experimentation and surprise. As a brand, Chanel seems to live by two unofficial mantras: "Fashion has no rules" and "Fashion is universal". As seen with the Boy bag, Chanel creates new expectations and iconic pieces by transforming conventional boundaries and styles. As quoted by Karl Lagerfeld, Chanel has always had a flair for flipping the script:
"Chanel used men's underwear to make dresses; she had this boyish attitude, in fact it is the very spirit of Chanel. She got it from Boy Capel, the great love of her life, which, incidentally, explains why the new bag is called the Boy Chanel."
As far as specs, the watch features an elongated octagonal case inspired by the bottle cap of the Chanel No. 5 perfume. The Boy.Friend is available in sizes large (34.6 mm x 26.7 mm) and extra large (37 mm x 28.6 mm). The smaller watch size is a quartz model with a date window. The larger watch size features manual-winding mechanical movements, and a seconds dial. There a variety of options in terms of hardware and adornments. Chanel offers versions with or without diamonds, and either in 18-carat beige gold or white gold. Every watch features the same black leather alligator strap.
So, what makes this watch a "Boy". Friend watch?
The name is a mystery within itself, but speaks to Chanel's creative genius. Overall, the watch has a feminine character, but its daintiness is offset with the bold shape and angular lines. It has a very clean, simplistic look, which is highlighted by the minimalist dial devoid of numerals. Instead of stealing directly from a men's watch, the Boy.Friend is a smart interpretation of menswear piece with subtle unisex features. It is also an interpretation of, and almost alternate, masculine style or "friend" to the Chanel Premiere Tourbillion watch, which is larger and more jewelry-like.
The watch retails from $12,500 to $27,000 depending on style, and will be available for sale early September.
What are your initial thoughts on this piece, and are you compelled enough to consider buying it? Can you see this watch becoming iconic like the other "boy" renditions Chanel has released?

An invention from a Volvo Construction Equipment engineer designed to help the company meet the Tier 4 Final legislation has been shortlisted in the Institution of Engineering and Technology Innovation Awards.
With more than a year to go before the Tier 4 Final legislation comes into force on January 1st 2014, an aspect of Volvo Construction Equipment's (Volvo CE) solution has reached the finals in the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) Innovation Awards. Volvo CE's preheated self-regulated air intake system was developed by design engineer Joakim Haegerstam to ensure articulated haulers meet the strict engine emission regulations with maintained or improved performance in cold climates. The system has been shortlisted in the embedded and critical systems category of the esteemed awards which attract revolutionary technology and highlight the best new innovations from across the world.
The preheated self-regulated air intake system introduces a completely new and unique way to regulate the air intake temperature inside construction equipment. To work correctly, Volvo CE's Exhaust After Treatment System requires high exhaust temperatures – this innovation raises the temperature of the exhaust gases without increasing fuel consumption.
"The basic principle is that waste heat from the engine heats the intake air and that causes the machine to experience higher ambient temperature than really is the case," explains Joakim, who is based in Braas, Sweden. "When the engine requires warmer air, the charge air fan speed is reduced so that no ambient air enters the engine compartment and preheated air enters the air intake. With this system the machine believes the outside temperature is up to 30°C higher than it actually is – for every 1°C the air intake temperature is raised, 1.5°C is gained in the exhaust gas temperature. This technology reduces fuel consumption compared to the current, conventional heat modes which raise the exhaust temperature but are known for high fuel consumption."
"It is an honor to be shortlisted for this internationally recognized award which celebrates the outstanding quality of the innovative work Volvo CE engineers are doing every day," says Anders P. Larsson, executive vice president of Volvo CE's Technology function. "Successfully developing Tier 4 Final compliant engines which meet all emission, quality, efficiency and cost targets before the legislation comes into force is one of the highest priorities for Volvo CE's Technology function. Our engineers have been working tirelessly on this project and it's great that we are receiving early recognition for our engineering expertise and technical advancements in this area. This technology will bring significant benefits to our customers while reducing the impact on the environment."
As well as providing hot air and enabling articulated haulers to work in a fuel efficient way in cold conditions, the preheated self-regulated air intake system also allows the machine to obtain ambient air – depending on which it requires. When the engine needs cooler air, the charge air fan speeds up so ambient air enters the engine compartment and the air intake. This means that the machine can work with increased efficiency in both extremely cold and hot environments. Another benefit of the system is that now that the air intake is located inside the engine compartment – in a much cleaner and less dusty area – the filter service interval is expected to increase. Tests to determine the extent of this improvement are currently ongoing.
The IET Innovation Awards recognize the most innovative companies for their groundbreaking work in technology and engineering. A panel of industry and academic experts will announce the winning entries during an awards gala on November 22 in London.

Less than a week ago, during the second presidential debate, Mitt Romney lost the debate on social media. And it seems as if the Republicans paid attention — and are trying to do better this time around.
A closer look at today's promoted trends and tweets reveals that pro-Romney/Ryan Twitter users such as @ESActionFund and @AmericanXRoads have spent money to get their messages out there through promoted tweets, while Romney For President, Inc. has paid for a Worldwide and U.S. wide trend – #CantAfford4More.
According to its bio, @ESActionFund is an official twitter account of Ending Spending Action Fund, which "proudly supports Democratic, Republican and Independent candidates who favor reducing the size of government & balancing the budget."
Tweets promoted by @ESActionFund currently appear as top results on searches for "Barack Obama" as well as "@BarackObama."
And while a promoted tweet appears as top result on search for "Mitt Romney," it's a pro-Romney/Ryan tweet paid for by a conservative super PAC American Crossroads.
Interestingly enough, among suggested "Barack Obama" related topics are celebrities such as Lady Gaga, Jason Mraz and Ellen DeGeneres, only reinforcing Republican's claim that Obama is a celebrity president.

Formidable character, formidable actor: Christoph Waltz as the disturbingly alluring Nazi in Quentin Tarantino's masterful "Inglourious Basterds"Perhaps the movie critics who are losing their jobs right and left these days are no great loss. Harsh? Perhaps. But has there ever been a time when reviewers seemed so hopelessly hamhanded?
A case in point: The seemingly willful clueless response to Quentin Tarantino's vigorously accomplished "Inglourious Basterds." For some bizarre reason, Tarantino's film has been put under a miscroscope (as no other recent film has) by a handful of critics, so busy nitpicking about trivia that they've literally missed the larger picture. A good picture.
The carping has reached such a ridiculous pitch the usually even-keeled Dave Kehr felt compelled to challenge one of the Tarantino-bashers on his popular movie site: "I don't think Tarantino puts any of his critical faculties aside when he's assembling one of his elegantly convoluted narratives. He's a master orchestrator of audience expectations — of knowing when to fulfill them and when to frustrate them."
Elegant is certainly the operative word for "Basterds" which opens with a stunning sequence in which the director takes his time and lets his actors involve us in a long, contentious conversation and the feeling of dread that it naturally reflects. His sumptuous use of music, Robert Richardson's handsome cinematography and an ensemble cast which produces no missteps hardly prepare us for Tarantino's one inarugable triumph here - the crucial casting of a commanding actor named Christoph Waltz whose Nazi character mesmerizes as much as he taunts and frightens.
This is a real movie. Those few critics don't know what they're missing.
Their loss.

Medway, Ma — Cybex International Inc. reported a net sales increase of 16 percent for fourth quarter 2007 and of 15 percent for 2007, according to John Aglialoro, chairman and CEO of Cybex.
Net sales for the fourth quarter were $44.5 million compared to $38.2 million for the same period in 2006. This increase was driven by strong sales of both cardio and strength products, and continued growth in the commercial equipment market, Aglialoro said last month in a call with analysts. The company reported net income for the fourth quarter of $3 million compared to $2.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2006.
The Medway, MA-based company's year-end net sales increased to $146.5 million compared to $126.9 million for 2006. Net income for 2007 was $9.8 million compared to $20.1 million for 2006. The 2007 results include the third-quarter reduction in the tax valuation reserve, which increased net income by $5.2 million. The 2006 results include a second-quarter reduction in the tax valuation reserve, which increased 2006 net income by $14.4 million.
Aglialoro says the company's commercial business continues to increase despite uncertainty in the economy.
"The economic environment is probably unsettling to all of us," he says. "Our industry is no exception. We have seen no major affect of that. We've had spotty sales decreases here and there, but we are still sticking to double-digit revenue as our goal. If we hit that, we've stated that each year our earnings would be commensurate with that."
When asked about the overall health of the commercial fitness market, Aglialoro said that overall, the industry continues to grow, and he does not expect that a recession or downturn in the economy would affect the commercial fitness market.
Aglialoro plans to manufacture more products at Cybex's own facilities, which could lead to the company's products selling at higher price points, he says.
Pricing was an issue with the company's commercial bike, the Cyclone, he says. The bike had a lot of options built into it, which put it at a higher price point, but many club owners wanted a bike with fewer options and a lower price. For that reason, Cybex will offer two versions of the Cyclone — one at a higher price with more options and the other at a lower price with fewer options.

Thank you for visiting. You probably came here after hearing of my activities as California's second elected Insurance Commissioner from 1994-2000. Those were the most professionally rewarding years of my life. I was honored with the trust voters had placed in me and I was resolved to serve them well.
Many significant accomplishments were achieved saving billions each year for California's consumers which created some frustrations for my opponents.
My administration ended with much controversy in 2000. The purpose of this website is to let you know more about me, what I have accomplished, and the real facts on my departure from my position as Insurance Commissioner.

Moderators: Mr. Crackerz, JREED, Guybrush, 32
Why would we attempt this trade in the first place...?
The best thing Fisher gave us this past season was durablility and reliablility... two things that Magette certainly isn't famous for. I admit, he's a better talent when healthy, but we already have one injury prone superstar. Why pay the contract of another?

migya wrote:True that Maggette is injured often and he is also not a defensive dynamo either. I'd really love to get Josh Smith and throw the draft pick, Murphy and a player like Fisher to get him
That could have been possible last year, before Atlanta signed JJ, when they had the cap room to do it. Now salaries don't work.

Cory averages about 7.7 mill over the next 3 seasons. He earns his money and would be a great addition. Why give up Fish? Cuz he's really not that important with BD on board for the whole season. I like him, but I'd plug our SF problems before I look @ the guard positions.---***030***---
Nah... Whatever which way you spin it, Fisher shouldn't be in any long term plan. I'd rather live with Ellis/BD/ & whoever if we can add CM to the mix. Shiet... might as well trade down and grab Williams (Uconn). @ SF CM/DUN/MP & J23 will suffice, totally---***030***---
Well, still, that leaves us with only Baron and Monta... so what are we gonna do when Baron goes down holding his knee? Play Dunleavy at point when Monta's resting? I'm pretty sure we're not gonna resign Will Bynum, so we'll need Fisher. 2 point guards only works if they're both not prone to injury. Baron Davis isn't a guarentee. For that reason, we need 3.
That won't be an issue. Aquiring a 3rd string PG isn't a problem, rather getting one cheap that could really help is a hard task. If not Bynum then someone else would do + ya know Dun's gonna handle the ball too. I did mention trading down ( dump AF?) & picking up M. Williams in the draft thus giving us 3 PG's. That would do + we'd be 3 deep@every position---***030***---

Magnesium oxide 400 Mg Side Effects
Not all side effects for magnesium oxide may be reported. You should always consult a doctor or healthcare professional for medical advice. Side effects can be reported to the FDA here.
For the Consumer
Applies to magnesium oxide: capsules, tablets
Check with your doctor if any of these most COMMON side effects persist or become bothersome:
Diarrhea.Seek medical attention right away if any of these SEVERE side effects occur while taking magnesium oxide:
Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue); black, tarry stools; nausea; slow reflexes; vomit that looks like coffee grounds.
For Healthcare Professionals
Applies to magnesium oxide: compounding powder, oral capsule, oral tablet
Other side effects have included effects due to toxicity (hypermagnesemia). Mild hypermagnesemia is generally well-tolerated. Moderate or severe hypermagnesemia primarily affects the nervous and cardiovascular systems. The effects of hypermagnesemia may be worsened by the presence of hypocalcemia, especially in patients with uremia.
Gastrointestinal side effects have included diarrhea. Magnesium toxicity has been associated with nausea (magnesium levels of 2.0 to 2.5 mg/dL or 4 to 5 mEq/L) and rare cases of paralytic ileus (magnesium levels greater than 5 mEq/L).
Nervous system
Nervous system side effects have resulted from the suppression of neuromuscular transmission in the CNS and at the neuromuscular junction by magnesium (antagonized by calcium). The degree of severity of these side effects has been dependent on the serum magnesium level. Clinically, if serum magnesium levels increase to 4 to 7 mEq/L, there may be a decrease in tendon reflexes, muscle weakness and/or mental confusion/sedation. At levels of 7 to 10 mEq/L the respiratory rate slows and the blood pressure falls. At levels of 10 to 15 mEq/L there is usually profound mental depression, areflexia, coma and respiratory paralysis. Magnesium also has a curare-like effect at the neuromuscular junction at serum levels above 10 mEq/L. Death is not uncommon when serum magnesium levels rise to 15 mEq/L.
Cardiovascular side effects have included hypotension, depressed myocardial conductivity, and bradyarrhythmias.
The cardiovascular consequences of hypermagnesemia are due to peripheral vasodilation. Hypotension may be observed when serum Mg levels rise to 7 to 10 mEq/L, becoming severe when serum Mg levels rise above 10 mEq/L. Magnesium can also depress myocardial conductivity and cause bradyarrhythmias at levels greater than 10 mEq/L. While some patients are inexplicably able to tolerate extraordinary magnesium levels, there is a significant risk of asystole when levels rise to 25 mEq/L. The risk of cardiotoxicity from hypermagnesemia is increased in the presence of hypocalcemia, hyperkalemia, acidosis, digitalis therapy, and renal insufficiency.
Acute hypermagnesemia may cause hypocalcemia due to suppression of the release of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and competition for renal tubular reabsorption between calcium (Ca) and magnesium. The latter can lead to decreased Ca reabsorption and hypercalciuria, which aggravates the hypocalcemia produced by decreased release of PTH.
Metabolic side effects have included hypocalcemia.

Merrill Edge, the mass-affluent channel of Bank of America-Merrill Lynch, says it introduced two income-focused portfolios to this platform earlier this month.
With the Merrill Edge Income Portfolio and the Income & Growth Portfolio, there are now 12 portfolios available on the platform. The portfolios are actively managed and typically have eight to 16 positions in mutual funds and ETFs, a $20,000 investment minimum and a 1% yearly management fee.
"The first Merrill Edge portfolios were launched [in January 2012] to drive total return and were aligned with the interests of clients who want to grow assets and maximize returns in the accumulation stage of their investments," said Alok Prasad (left), head of Merrill Edge, in an interview with AdvisorOne.
"The two new portfolios are more income oriented and are designed for those nearing or in retirement who want to augment their savings with income," Prasad said.
The two income-focused portfolios include a variety of fixed-income securities and related products—including emerging-market bond funds, floating-rate products and REITs, according to Tom Halloran, head of Merrill Edge product development.
Earlier this year, Bank of America (BAC) rolled out the Merrill Edge Roadmap, a financial- planning tool for its 1.6 million mass-affluent Merrill Edge clients. As of June, it has some 1,800 Merrill Edge "financial solutions advisors," about 1,000 of whom are located in BofA branch offices.
"The asset levels in our Merrill Edge portfolios are far exceeding our expectations," Prasad said. "We keep our ears close to the ground to understand our clients and their goals."
The two new portfolios "open up the door for clients to take advantage of important options, income-oriented portfolios for those in retirement," noted Halloran (right). "We are earlier in the process [of launching income-focused products] than some competitors, and we're off to go start."
As for the shape of future Merrill Edge portfolios, "It's very conceivable that we might add portfolios with other dimensions and options in the future," he explained. "There's definitely room there to give clients more options and potentially more asset classes."
