![]() ![]() ![]() Peer reviewed, mainstream scientific journal… The now infamous Hunziker-Barr study from 1986 titled, “Increased Carrying Reduces Infant Crying: A Randomized Controlled Trial” is one of these studies being endlessly, endlessly cited. I used to be one and I know they can do better once they know better.) The AP community (like many others) has had a long and conflicted relationship with science, rejecting what doesn’t fit and oversharing-to-death any studies with titles that appear to support their ideology without actually reading them. AttachmentĪttachment Parenting proponents would argue that babies are crying because they don’t have a secure attachment to their caregiver and to develop secure attachment babies need to be, well, attached. At face value it seems to make sense, if babies are crying because they want to be (need to be) held but can’t be held because their caregiver needs to get other things done, then viola! Just use an infant carrier and crying is reduced.īut it’s not quite that simple– the crying or the research. ![]()

![]() ![]() The following list is an attempt to rank King’s published work in all its darkness, weatherworn beauty, and surprising weirdness. ![]() Of course, in so long and varied a career, there are exhilarating highs, a few bewildering lows, and many unexpected diversions. Nat Cassidy, author of this year’s Mary: An Awakening of Terror, put it best, describing King as his “mother tongue.” He is not just a writer he is an industry, an aesthetic, a genre of one. ![]() ![]() I have interviewed hundreds of horror writers from all across the genre’s wide spectrum, and when asked for their inspirations and their gateways to fearful fiction, so many leap immediately to King. But for millions of readers and writers, he is our North Star, our Southern Cross. Such prolificacy has often led to sniffing criticism from those who consider him “merely” a horror writer (as if horror is anything “mere”). Almost everything he has ever written has been optioned or adapted for the screen, in some cases several times. King has regularly published two or three books per year, a stream of words that flows incessantly west towards Hollywood. He arrived during a resurgent interest in all things frightening–following the success of Ira Levin's Rosemary’s Baby (1967) and William Peter Blatty’s The Exorcist (1971)-and quickly set about reshaping the genre in his own image. Since the publication of his first novel Carrie, just shy of fifty years ago, King has held dominion over the landscape of horror. There will probably never be another author like Stephen King. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() One of his concerns is safeguarding Aristide, who refuses to let anyone-the crooked city police or the homophobic Ospies-dictate his life. Returning to Amberlough under the Ospies' watchful eye, Cyril enters a complex game of deception. When Cyril's cover is blown on a mission, however, he must become a turncoat in exchange for his life. Not everyone agrees with the Ospies' philosophy, including master spy Cyril DePaul and his lover Aristide Makricosta, smuggler and emcee at the popular Bumble Bee Cabaret. The radical One State Party-nicknamed the Ospies-is gaining popular support to unite Gedda's four municipal governments under an ironclad, socially conservative vision.

Win, Lose or Die, first published in 1989, was the eighth novel by John Gardner featuring Ian Fleming's secret agent, James Bond. ![]() ![]() ![]() I think The Firm establishes itself as something else besides just another TV show. Plenty of riveting action, strong acting, meaningful content, and highly entertaining. ![]() A wonderful witty script, and excellent content make this so far an excellent show and one that will most likely draw in quite a large amount of viewers as we are engrossed with how the story unfolds. Justice, crime, love, and violence, the firm incorporates very strong lead acting by Josh Lucas which carries the show beautifully. Thus begins the gripping tale of The Firm full of honesty, and deceit. Rewinding the time table we journey back 6 weeks before to see exactly how all this played out.

It's always fascinating to hear Joe Hill's unique style and his fathers influence seeping through in so many under tones. This book, what I heard of it was another wonderful installment from Joe Hill. Please leave the inflections of volume to the author who wrote the text, I understand this is largely on the mixing engineer and directors/producers to take care of this in post perhaps, so lets get on the ball. When the author writes 'he/she whispered', it is wholly unwarranted to whisper the line, if you cant relay the idea of dramatic without whispering, perhaps you should seek out a living in movies or tv, the makers of "The Matrix" absolutely love people to breathe the lines instead of speak, followed by 120db gun fire. I listen to these books while driving, there is road noise and outside noise all the time, when you listen to narrators like Gene Engene, Frank Muller, Jim Dale, Dick Hill and many others, they don't ever whisper, ever. ![]() PLEASE!!

Ghost pipe relies exclusively on the Russulaceae family of fungi, which in turn gets energy and carbon from tree roots, while supplying the trees with nitrogen, phosphorus, and minerals from the soil. uniflora collects all its nutrients and energy from mycorrhizal fungi, so they don’t bother with photosynthesis, don’t need chlorophyll, and therefore have lost the typical green colouring of plants. Around mid-summer each year, in the fir and cedar forests of western Canada, where I live, clumps of pure white plants pop up, known locally as “Ghost pipe.” Biologists classify them as Monotropa uniflora, members of the Ericaceae family, cousins to blueberry and rhododendron. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Safe to say her boyfriend isn’t going to like this.
