Won By a Nose
Did you know there have been three Oscar-winning actors who wore fake noses in the parts for which they won?
They were Nicole Kidman as writer Virginia Woolf in The Hours (2002), Lee Marvin as Kid Shellen's twin brother (aka Silvernose) in Cat Ballou (1965) and José Ferrer as the title character in Cyrano de Bergerac (1950).

Turning the Page
I've given a lot of thought to getting a Kindle, but have always resisted, thinking that I would always prefer to hold and read a paper book. I've tried before to read books on the computer and I think that's biased my opinion because I have always done most of my reading in bed just before I go to sleep. (can't curl up with my PC, after all) Thinking about it, I've decided that holding an e-reader wouldn't be much different than a regular book and might even be better.

| You Are a Paper Book |
 When it comes to reading, you really value quality over quantity. You are a devoted reader. You don't like to rush through anything you are reading. You like to get up close and personal with your books. Paper books suit you best, even if they are pricier and more difficult to obtain. Like a good story, they are worth it for you. Besides, there is nothing you like more than having a beautiful bookshelf full of books you love. No eBook can do that for you. |

EGG Cam
UPDATE: (again!) There's a new clutch of eggs!
UPDATE: The University of Nebraska - Lincoln has another clutch of eggs for their 4-H EGG Cam.
These eggs were set on January 13 and should hatch in about 21 days - on or about February 3! We'll be candling live this week to see how the embryos are doing. The camera will zoom in much closer when candling. We'll post the candling date/time on Tuesday, January 19.
The eggs are from chickens bred to lay a lot of great eggs - Hy-Line Layers.
