That's really cool to hear. You'll never see an ugly Bond girl but I like to see them with some depth to their character and it's good to hear she's an integral part of the plot and also adds some depth to Bond's character. Thanks for elaborating. :)

I still have to see this but why is she the best? It goes without saying that she's gorgeous :) but what else about her character made her a great Bond girl?

Re: The Scariest Movie Ever! Have you ever read Danse Macabre by Stephen King? He explores that very subject. One of the quotes from the back of the book: "I recognize terror as the finest emotion and so I will try to terrorize the reader. But if I find that I cannot terrify, I will try to...

For the particular paper being referred to, they were looking to answer the question - Do embryonic stem cells differentiated into dopamine producing cells reduce symptoms in a rat model of Parkinson's disease. They answered their question so in that regard the research was anything but half...

SPOILERS BELOW: I hope you get to see some earlier episodes (I believe you can download them legally on NBC.com) - she can spontaneously heal. :eek: Really freaky at times!! He's her dad (she is adopted which adds more questions). I'm not sure of his agenda either. Hiro's friend is...

Last night's episode was terrific as usual. I'm definitely hooked on this show. :) I saw Nikki's tattoo but had missed the necklace on the African American man in the bar (who 'hollows out' people) :eek: I loved watching Nathan fly. That was awesome!! I also don't know what Claire's dad's...

I'd edit my post but I don't see the edit button. Anyway, I figured out how to select multiple books in an author search - just hold down CTRL and click on the pic of the book or the title and it'll highlight the title (it changes color) and then when you're done just unrelease CTRL and click...

LibraryThing is a nifty site. :) Quite inexpensive for a lifetime membership. It would be useful to be able to select more than one book at a time when you do an author search. Maybe it's there and I haven't found it yet. I need to play some more.

You certainly don't want to apply it too soon. This finding will certainly (I hope) cause people to step back from anything they're doing on people. The interesting question to me is - once they had the cells they wanted (those that produced dopamine), did this transformation into a...

I love this show! I started watching it late in season 1 and don't catch every episode. It's so original and some of the lines are terrific. One favorite in the episode where they were trying to get Catalina to dance at the club again (Burt Reynolds as owner :D): Sometimes Randy gets stuck...

Yay!! Congratulations! :) :) :)

I finally saw Amelie. I ended up buying it because I'd heard so many good things about it. I loved it.

A Clash of Kings - G.R.R. Martin. Gollum, you may think the thread is weak but I like seeing how you'll name them each month. :)

Awesome! I'll keep perusing to see what treasures I find. :)

Got a new copy of A Clash of Kings (G.R.R. Martin) and found a used copy of Sword in the Storm by David Gemmell (I've never read any Gemmell and it's the first book in one of his series so I thought I'd pick it up!).

Reading A Clash of Kings by Martin (I finally finished A Game of Thrones). :)

at Davis. :)

Here is the news in Nature (with the link to the actual journal article) http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v442/n7104/full/442725a.html I really hope you can get to it. I'm online with my UC account and they have a subscription to Nature but it may block others.

It was the first Neil Gaiman book I read and I adored it. I'm from the Midwest (Illinois) originally and I loved the locations in the book and some of them were places I had been. The characters are fantastic and they really suck you in emotionally. When (and if) I think of something more...

I don't really follow Physics, Astronomy, etc. but I do read a lot in the Life Sciences primarily because that's my field so I read journal articles and the occasional book. I don't read many books on life sciences but some that I've really enjoyed have been Last Chance to See by Douglas...
