This seems to a good source of the latest news from a reputable and non sensationalistic scientific group. They are updating twice daily.

Ok, now I'm bummed may God protect the fifty workers who have stayed behind at the plant to try to keep cooling the reactors. they must have known that to stay carries a good possibility of serious radiation poisoning/cancer/death and that this could turn out to be a suicide mission on their part u...

This is the only good news coming out of Japan that I have been able to find: www.keiblog.com/Keiblog/Keiblog/Entries/2011/3/13_US_Horses_in_Japan_are_Safe,_Racing_Cancelled.html Our Kentucky Derby winners standing at stud over there are all safe and well. I know that in the face of so many immeasur...

Being able to read her words is always a great blessing. Thank you, always, for sharing them with us.

Even though I have not been to the Watch is ages, something told me to come here today.

I think hearing Furls' words is the reason why.

Perhaps no one ever studied/uncovered metal lore. *shrug* Perhaps because wood and stone are already understood there was no real need for metal lore or perhaps it takes too much energy to channel Earthpower through metal, making it non-user-friendly. Anyway...my curiosity has been piqued. The ur-v...

I read the first post of this thread and I was "What? Dead Lena was in Andelain with her parents!!!!!!" Obviously, others already said pointed that out. :) But this is yet more evidence that some of Donaldson's readers actually know the content of his books better than he does. :? I get th...

The books specifically say that Covenant refused her advances, but somehow it has spread over the internet through the years (such as the site you mentioned and in some Amazon reviews) that Covenant and Elena were lovers. The whole situation is squicky enough without the actual sex ever taking place...

Dogs are specifically mentioned as being among the animals that come to the aid of the Unfettered One when he battles the ur-viles at the Celebration of Spring in LFB.

Aliantha, I'm still hoping man. WMF comes out in March. There are claims that Republic of Thieves is being "polished". ADWD is close. I can feel it. (que Charlie Brown jokes.) But isn't WMF only the second of six big fat books? (two trilogies?) And isn't ROT book three of fourteen project...

Thread resurrection. Just watched an interesting documentary called "The Making of Me," in which a gay man went hunting for clues as to what it was that caused him to be gay. From the outset he admitted he wanted to prove, if possible, that sexual orientation was something inherent, rathe...

I would have also voted for DG, but if you want to read something by Kay, please go for Under Heaven, which for me was the the perfect stand alone epic fantasy. It is a wonderful book.

(City and the City is really good, too, and deserved all of those awards it got. )

Anyone know of any good new series that 12-15yo girls might like? Recommendations from here ensured my nieces were into Twilight before any of their friends, so I've got a reputation to maintain! Newish but not brand new - perhaps if they like the Twilight books they might like a series by Rachel C...

It is official - Zenyatta - one of the greatest race horses of all time is now retired. www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/59942/champion-zenyatta-retired Here is the peaceful and beautiful farm in Kentucky where she will live: www.lanesend.com/ Many of North America's leading stallions, such ...

I cannot disagree with you guys more. Just asking - how many times have you watched this, and were you able to watch it in sequence as DVD's or all broken up on TV? Because I watched it the first time on my vacation week on DVD last week, and thought it was good, though not as good as BOB. Now I hav...

Ah poor Felisin... She is probably the most well developed and tragic of Erikson's characters (to me anyway). We first hear of her back in GOTM in what is one of the most important bits of foreshadowing in the series - when Ganoes Parran goes home and talks to his other sister, Tavore. Who could gue...

I CANNOT BELIEVE SHE CAME THAT CLOSE!!!! I CANNOT BELIEVE SHE LOST!!!!! Damn, that's out of the movies!!! What an incredible race!!!!! I think that is a race all who watched it will remember forever. Zenyatta revealed her true quality even in her lone defeat. One of the greatest of all time! No que...

Occasionally greatness comes through even in defeat. The great mare lost for the first time last night, in her final race. :( The odds were so far against her though - and if she had had room for only one more stride she would have beaten the very good young stallion (only 4 years old to her six) Bl...

GOTM does not make a whole lot of sense initially. It all sorts of starts to suddenly hang together a couple of hundred pages in. :? It also makes a heck of a lot more sense when you go back and reread it after reading the next book or so! :lol: :lol: :lol: The author is presenting it as if from a h...
