It looks like Michael Specter may have slipped into a bad place with his book Denialism: How Irrational Thinking Hinders Scientific Progress, Harms the Planet, and Threatens Our Lives. It's certainly a worthwhile topic, why people don't believe in global warming, or believe that vaccines cause autism, or whatever. But calling someone an idiot is hardly an effective way to change their minds about something. The New York Times review calls him out for a weird snobbery.

John Shelton Lawrence thinks along the lines of Danny Fingeroth about "what makes a superhero, philosophically speaking", with Buffy being an example of the "Amazon"-category of superheros.

This charity is to pay for eye surgery for my friend who has a genetic mutation that causes many health problems throughout her body in her connective tissues called Marfans one of the health problems this causes that negatively affects her life is her lenses moving in her eyes and causing her eyesight to be so bad that she can't see the chalkboard from the front row even with very thick glasses. She has already paid for her left eye but she lacks the funds for her right because she hasn't been working because she has been her mom's caretaker who was dying of cervical cancer, and now that her mom is dead the government took back all the money her mom had in her accounts, and she had to pay back money to financial aid for classes she dropped out of when she found out her mom was about to die. All that happened in a short period of time leaving her with no money for her remaining surgery. This charity is for a very deserving person who has sacrificed her life for her mother and now has been left with nothing. More Info Here

This is a one of a kind hand crafted "church" fan with ornate antique silver handles, oodles of feathers, and garnished with an antique silver filigree. Let's put it this way, Marie Antoinette would have been right at home with one of these. I kid you not, they are to DIE FOR!!! Even if I do say so myself... lol You'd better hurry I have a feeling these are going to go fast.... ;-)
