More Terribly Shameless Self-Promotion {updated}

{update} Here are the gift picks. Maybe you'll see something for your wishlist?






I don't mean to be all, "Look at me! Look at me!" this week, but I am a wee bit excited about the gift guide in today's Washington Post Express (downloadable pdf and item list here). I especially love the fab cover, which I can't take any credit for at all.

I'll post the gift picks later today – in the meantime, I'm off to prep for the online fashion chat at noon! See you there?

PS) I'm not ashamed to admit Mariah's insanely catchy "All I Want for Christmas Is You" has been on regular rotation on my iTunes all week. Yes, it's true: The holiday season is here!

Whats happened to your blog? I used to come on here all the time...either there are no posts for days... and the posts that are featured are short and/or all connected to your mag. I am happy about your new job and all... but Im just being honest. You have a strong following of people who dont know you personally. Dont lose them!

Sadly, the blog doesn't pay the bills! I hope to be able to keep this going strong while balancing the new day job, but there's an adjustment period as I settle into my new schedule. Hang in there!

Ms. Spinach said...

Aren't they the cutest? They're the newest lot of Fauna Pico pillows. You can find them on Areaware.com.

Here's a startling stat that people tracking their numbers should know: Half of all heart-attack victims have perfectly normal cholesterol levels, and many have no risk factors at all. Experts have recently come to believe that one hidden culprit is chronic inflammation, which turns arteries into plaque magnets. But they haven't known whether treating it could actually protect the heart. A new landmark finding suggests that is the case.If confirmed in further studies, the research, published in the current New England Journal of Medicine, could transform screening for heart disease. Nearly 18,000 people with normal cholesterol levels and no heart disease but high levels of inflammation (as measured by a marker called C-reactive protein) were randomly assigned to take either a cholesterol-lowering statin drug with anti-inflammatory effects or a placebo. The people taking a statin, for two to five years, had about a 50 percent lower risk of heart attack or stroke and a 20 percent lower risk of dying of any cause compared with those who took placebos. They also had a 46 percent lower rate of bypass surgeries and angioplasties. "These results are way beyond what we could have hoped for," says study leader Paul Ridker, director of the Center for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention at Brigham and Women's Hospital.Benefits for all. Indeed, the so-called Jupiter trial was recently stopped a few years early, after independent reviewers wowed by the results concluded that it wouldn't be ethical to keep anyone on sugar pills. The benefits applied across the board, to women (ages 60 and over) and men (50 and over), to blacks and Hispanics as well as whites, and to both smokers and nonsmokers.EverQuest goldEverQuest platbuy eq goldeq plateverquest platinumlineage adenalineage 1 adenalineage 2 adenabuy lineage 2 adenalineage ii adenacheap lineage 2 adenawow goldworld of warcraft goldbuy wow goldcheap wow goldwow power levelingwow powerleveling "This study is very important and very well done," says David Siscovick, a professor of medicine and epidemiology and codirector of the Cardiovascular Health Research Unit at the University of Washington in Seattle. 2moons dil2moons goldaion goldbuy aion goldanarchy online creditsanarchy online creditarchlord goldbuy archlord goldcity of heroes influencecoh influencecity of villains infamycov infamyeve iskeve online iskflyff penyabuy flyff goldflyff moneygaia online goldgaia goldguild wars goldgw gold"My guess is that it will be looked at very carefully by physicians and those involved in helping make recommendations for clinical care."hellgate london palladiumhero online goldlast chaos goldpirates of the burning sea goldpotbs doubloonrappelz rupeerappelz goldrf online goldstar wars galaxiesswg creditsthe sun onlinethe sun online goldsword of the new world vissword of the new world goldtabula rasa creditpirates goldPotbs goldtabula rasa creditstales of pirates goldvoyage century goldpirates goldPotbs goldOthers are less enthusiastic. While 50 percent may sound like a huge drop, in absolute terms "risk was reduced just a little bit," says Lisa Schwartz, an associate professor of medicine at the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice.
