The Wedding Present, 'El Rey' (Manifesto)
- SPIN Rating:7 of 10
The Wedding Present's greatest days are in the rear view: ReenlistingSteve Albini -- who recorded the band's pinnacle of dark Britishness, 1991'sSeamonsters -- tacitly admits that fact but flips it into a plus. Their latest album in a career that spans 20-plus years travels the same boy-lusts-after-girl terrain, but singer/ songwriter David Gedge embraces his noir side with chugging, irritable guitars. He sounds too lecherously happy -- "Model, Actress, Whatever" is a paean to a JPEG -- to reach the emotional depths of his best work, but for lessons in proto-Brit-rock, he remains a top authority.

Michael Gove is facing a legal challenge over his decision to axe the Education Maintenance Allowance, PoliticsHome.com has learned.
Just over a week since the Education Secretary was reprimanded by the High Court over school refurbishment, he faces the threat of another judicial review, this time from teenagers who are losing out from the scrapping of the EMA system.
EMAs are worth upto £30 a week for the poorest sixth formers and were introduced by Labour to persuade the less well-off to stay in education and training over the age of 16.
Although the Tories repeatedly said they had "no plans" to dump the EMA before the last election, Mr Gove announced last year that they would be scrapped because their administration costs were too high.
The Save EMA Campaign is drafting a legal case on behalf of students who believe their two-year contracts for study has been breached by the Government's decision. Lawyers backed by the trade union Unison are examining whether they can win payments for students who began courses in September expecting two years of financial support.
Students sign an EMA contract which commits them to rules on attendance, punctuality and achievement in return for the payments. However, as it is a contract, campaigners say that the Government may also be obliged to fulfil its part of the bargain for 300,000 students.
Unison has discovered literature from the YPLA (Young People's Learning Agency), distributed widely in colleges last year, which it says clearly guaranteed those students who started courses that year that they could expect funding up to 2013.
James Mills, head of the Save EMA campaign, said: "We're saying, 'A deal's a deal.' These young people have signed a contract and the Government should honour it. Ministers like to bang on about taking a 5 per cent pay cut, but these kids are taking a 100 per cent cut in their income."
"David Cameron went to a few colleges and said, 'We won't scrap EMA.' There was a clear promise that EMA won't be axed and students joined their courses on that basis and committed themselves for two years.
"Michael Gove said before the election that he would not scrap EMA, and that anyone who said he would was a liar. One of the things we want is for Michael Gove to honour his pre election pledge and pay these 300,000 teenagers next year who have started courses because he gave a commitment, rather than waste public money to drag Gove back to the Commons to do a Spelman."
According to a YouGov poll last week, almost half the British public oppose the government's plans to abolish EMAs.The poll also showed that a substantial amount of those who voted for both coalition parties at the last election and who intend to vote at coming elections also oppose the abolition of the EMA. Some 50% who voted Lib Dem in 2010, and 27% of Conservatives, oppose abolition of EMA.
Campaigners point to research by the UCU showing that almost 40% of students wouldn't have started their course without EMA, so that's a large amount of people who will feel betrayed by this government.
Mr Gove was forced to reconsider his Building Schools for the Future (BSF) plans by the High Court earlier this month. The Court ruled his failure to properly consult some local authorties amounted to an "abuse of power". The Department for Education insists that the court did not find his ultimate decision unlawful.
Government sources today hit back, pointing out that the YouGov poll also showed that 45% of 18-24 year-olds support the abolition of EMA, with 44 per cent opposed. 43 per cent of 25-39 year-olds support the abolition of EMA, with 38 per cent opposed.
Tory MP Nadhim Zahawi said: "Labour left the country spending £120million a day just paying off the interest on the national debt. Difficult choices have had to be made and, despite protecting schools spending, we simply cannot justify maintaining an expensive programme that is not targeted at those who need it.
"Research commissioned by Labour when in Government, and now conveniently ignored by them in opposition, showed that EMA should be better targeted, while Andy Burnham himself conceded it is spent 'on time out with friends'.
"And the same poll that the Save EMA campaign is quoting actually shows that young people – those with direct experience of the EMA – actually back its abolition in greater numbers than oppose it."

Tell Me One Thing That Is New by Louise Le May
All songs by Louise Le May
Produced by Louis Philippe and Ken Brake
Arranged by Louis Philippe (The Only Fish arranged by Danny Manners)
Louise Le May - vocals Louis Philippe - guitar, bass, keyboards, percussion, vocals Danny Manners - keyboards, double bass Strings on Be My Guru by The Covent Garden String Quartet Recorded and mixed by Ken Brake at Regal Lane Studios, London. A Folkwit Records release
"This is quite simply exquisite; sensual and beguiling in the manner – though not style – of Kate Bush, with that kind of Englishness that draws you in like a rose-scented breath. Never slipping into fey quirkiness, even with the fluttering sonic trickery that opens the majestic 'War With Love', all the tracks possess a quietly fierce individuality. Maybe 'individuality' isn't quite the word, though, as arranger and multi-instrumentalist Louis Philippe does a magnificent job, with layered vocals and glacial piano to the fore and other instruments – guitar, bass, string quartet – adding texture as necessary." ****
- Oz Hardwick, Rock'n'Reel magazine
"A triumph. The arrangements are top-flight."
- Van Dyke Parks, composer/arranger
"This is English music, honest and open. Louise's songs are strange without being quirky and delivered with a settled assurance. She has the steady delivery of Judee Sill, but the harmonic flavour of Kate Bush or Robert Wyatt."
- Sean O'Hagan, The High Llamas

An "American Idol" reject who volunteered at a Brooklyn elementary school was arrested for sending sexually suggestive text messages to a 12-year-old boy, authorities said Wednesday. Colin Leahy - who compared himself to singer Clay Aiken during an embarrassing tryout for the hit TV show - also discussed oral sex with two 10-year-old students, authorities said. Special schools investigator Richard Condon said the 23-year-old was charged with two counts of child endangerment for his allegedly inappropriate behavior with students at Public School 236 in Mill Basin. In 2003, Leahy was briskly booted from the third season of "American Idol." His poor performance and humiliating rejection were broadcast on the program. Leahy described himself in the audition as being just like Aiken, the runnerup in the second season. "What I have in common with Clay is that I'm also a camp counselor," Leahy said. "I like to make people happy and smile." His audition did anything but. The judges panned Leahy's rendition of the American Juniors song "One Step Closer." "This is just about as bad as it can possibly get," judge Simon Cowell told Leahy. "I can't think of anything I've actually hated more." Leahy shot back, accusing Cowell of having a fake British accent and saying, "He needs to lose it and find a real job." Leahy, who could not be reached for comment, was hired last year as a substitute paraprofessional at PS 236, a city Education Department spokeswoman said. His position was later cut, and he became a volunteer at the school through Learning Leaders, a nonprofit group. Leahy, who has no prior arrest record, had been screened and fingerprinted before working at the school. He was removed when the text message probe began, the spokeswoman said. He sent more than 29 messages on Nov. 2 to a 12-year-old student, questioning the boy about whether he's gay, investigators said. The boy told investigators that the messages made him uncomfortable. Leahy allegedly told investigators he was "just curious" about whether the student was gay. He admitted he had discussed oral sex with two 10-year-olds but said he was only "joking," investigators said. The students said Leahy never molested them, but one said Leahy had accidentally punched him between the legs when they went to see a movie together.

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit 7601 Multiprocessor Free Service Pack 1
Font Spacing Problem in Microsoft Office 2010
Hello everyone,
In my Microsoft Office 2010 apps, and particularly in OneNote, is there any way to get the screen fonts for my displayed text to display the text better? (For example, it seems that the character spacing and kerning is off, and the spacing between letters is inconsistent.) What can be done to make this look better, or is this just a problem I must live with as a Microsoft Windows user? As you can see from the screen capture that I have attached, I am having problems with fonts displaying kerning and letter spacing improperly in Office 2010 applications. While Windows has never been as good as Apple at font display, this seems particularly bad. As well, it seems worse in OneNote (the first paragraph in the screen clipping) than in Word (the second example). While the character spacing is bad throughout, examples of specific words in the screen clipping, and their 'problem' are described in 3 instances below:
I am using Microsoft's Arial font in 12 point, so I don't understand why this would be an issue. It is just bugging me enough to want some help with it. Thanks for any advice that you can offer! |
My System Specs |
25 Aug 2011 | #2 |
Try setting your font spacing using this method:
Open the document with the problem, put your cursor on the Styles (>) link, go to Normal and slide your cursor all the way to the right to display the drop-down menu. Select Modify. At the bottom-left of the screen select Format, then Font, and at the top of the screen select 'Character Spacing.' Follow on-screen directions. |

Memo: Researchers told to prepare for ALF break-in by making animals "presentable"
On Wednesday morning, the Riverfront Times in St Louis posted excerpts from a memo purportedly distributed to faculty at Washington University's medical school. The memo warned staff to "be on high alert for potential terrorist activity" during the time of this weekend's "Free The Animals Conference" in St Louis.
Memo: Researchers told to prepare for ALF break-in by making animals "presentable"
From Animal Liberation Frontline.
Washington University claiming incriminating memo obtained by newspaper is a "hoax".
On Wednesday morning, the Riverfront Times in St Louis posted excerpts from a memo purportedly distributed to faculty at Washington University's medical school. The memo warned staff to "be on high alert for potential terrorist activity" during the time of this weekend's "Free The Animals Conference" in St Louis.
The memo is incredibly incriminating, not just for its "eco-terrorism" scare-mongering, but even more so because of the following excerpt which advises researchers on taking steps to prevent intruders from obtaining footage of animals:
"[campus police advise] every precaution should be taken to make your animals 'presentable.' This should include replacing bandages often, ensuring animals have adequate food and water, and employing heavy security where there are animals in a post-op stage or animals with visible evidence of surgery or implants. Take extra steps to maintain all Animal Welfare Act standards."
This is among the more incriminating quotes I can ever remember coming out of a lab.
But here's one curveball: Washington University is saying they didn't write it.
Hoax, or damage control?
About 12 hours after the original post on the Riverfront Times website, a revised version of the article was posted with this headline: "Wash. U. Med School Says Memo Warning of "Eco-Terrorism" is a Hoax".
Of course they did.
View the before and after shots of the altered article:
Screenshot of original article.
Revised article calling memo a "hoax".
The basis for the hoax claim is a single quote from a Washington University spokesperson:
"Washington University Protective Services did not send this memo to the medical center."
So what's the truth?
Without a copy of the actual memo (the Riverfront Times only included an illegible, thumbnail-sized photo), knowing the source (the paper didn't identify theirs), or corroborating testimony from another recipient of the memo, getting to the truth might be impossible.
Was is very simple is seeing the obvious: When caught tacitly admitting their labs are a horror show that must be made "presentable", the university had every incentive to lie.
"Eco-terrorism" scare-mongering
The focus of the memo is to warn faculty and students of possible "break-ins, arson and animal kidnappings" (seriously) during the weekend of the Free the Animals Conference. And it does so in the most naive and excitable way possible.
We only have a few quotes (the photo indicates the memo is much longer), but here are excerpts we have:
- Washington University research labs are "a major target of opportunity.... particularly for the school's use of primates."
- They believe that activist's primary goal will be "obtaining video footage of [research] animals."
- That myself and other speakers at the conference "travel the country urging activists to commit crimes in the name of animal rights. Their appearances are often followed by ecoterrorist activity. This makes the period of Thursday through Monday extremely sensitive." (I am not aware of a speaking appearance by any of the presenters ever being followed by an ALF action)
- "Intruders will often employ disguises, so ask questions of any couriers, delivery persons, etc."
- And lastly, a warning to any trespassers over the weekend: "We will be working with local and federal law enforcement to pursue Animal Enterprise Terrorism charges against anyone trespassing in research buildings."
Animal Liberation Front = amazing media
This is yet another example of hype over the Animal Liberation Front translating into some fantastic media for the animals.
First, to the extent that you believe the memo is authentic, vivisectors have been exposed talking candidly about how horrific and bloody their work is - and how much of a public relations disaster it would be if anyone caught a glimpse of the animals locked behind laboratory doors. This is big.
Second, the first article was immediately succeeded with a follow up article entirely on the campaign against Wash U and this Monday's protest there. The controversy forced attention on the campaign against Wash U, and the work of local group St Louis Vegans.
On a bigger level, it forced a spotlight on the fact that a local university is killing thousands of mice, rats, primates, cats, dogs, rabbits, and other animals in its labs. This is a fact the university would prefer the public would not think about.
Side editorial: It is tremendously disappointing that no national group has seized on the hugely incriminating and embarrassing quote instructing researchers to "make your animals 'presentable'". A quote of this caliber has the potential to be a national scandal, but it will take either a brave reporter or the muscle of a national group. And neither have stepped up to make this happen.
The humble conference that stimulated so much fear
The hype centers around the Free the Animals Conference, organized by St Louis Vegans and Stop Animal Exploitation Now (SAEN), two very effective - and very non-militant - animal rights groups. Why the hysteria?
In all likelyhood, "eco-terrorism alerts" like this are probably just a combination of willful ignorance and bored police just wanting to look tough. Do they think conference speakers and attendees will storm their labs dressed as couriers and "kidnap" their animals? Maybe. Does it make them look like real tough soldiers in the "war on terrorism" and vigilant guardians of lifesaving animal researchers? Definitely.
Until they get caught admitting they are protecting a house of horrors. Then they cower and deny, deny, deny.
Register for the Free The Animals Conference this weekend.

Hi to all. I live in Kalama Washington and will be attending the Longview Exchange. I am putting in new gardens and don't yet have anything for trade. I will trade chocolate for any non invasive plant for sun or shade.
Let me know what you want, milk? dark? white? Can't wait to meet you all!
Follow-Up Postings:
Patti, Would you like a tall yellow daylily? I can dig some of my favorite. It is the earliest bloomer and blooms at the same time as coral bells, so they go nicely together. I answered your question on my thread. Teresa |
Yes I would Teresa. Thank you. What kind of chocolate do you like? LOL! |
Hi Patti, I can only eat dark chocolate if it doesn't have milk in it, so don't worry about it. I'll take some if you have some, but don't go looking for it. I'm happy to pass on plants. Thanks, Teresa |
Hi Patti, I have a lot of plants to give you. Look at my trade list on another thread and check them for invasiveness. I try to warn people, but sometimes it gets by me. By the way, I prefer dark chocolate. :) I also just listed some things on a second thread. GardenWeb doesn't allow one to keep adding things indefinitely so I had to start a new one. |
Here is a link that might be useful: My trade/give-away list
Hello Patti, Nice to meet you today. The native plant that I put in with the daylilies is a fringe cup. The trillium is trillium grandiflorum. Here's a website that shows them: http://www.absolutemichigan.com/dig/michigan/michigan-plants-trillium/ Have fun planting, Teresa |
Thank you Teresa. I enjoyed meeting you too. I can't wait to get up in my forest and start planting. I love my wooded area. . . cool, green and shady. I got an idea from Don when he was showing me his woodlands yesterday. He is growing a climbing hydrangea on a fallen log. It looks so pretty. I have a fallen log and I have a climbing hydrangea in a pot. All in all it was a wonderful day. |
I will have lots of plants to give away at the Olympia Fall Plant Trade. It's set for Sept 17 at 10:00 AM. The address is 8001-A Thrulake Circle SE, Olympia, WA 98513. Hope to see you there, or at Barb's trade in Kelso. Tammy |

text: We were there for a 2 hours Bali Senation SPA, 1 hour massage, 30mins body scrub and 30 mins milk bath. The pick up was on time, the SPA room itself was nice. The massage we had wasn't 60 mins I assume, it was pretty quick and wasn't as relax as I expected. We wouldn't go again.

The message read "You've Been Ousted as mayor of XXXPetStore." My reaction? Big deal! I had no desire to race to the store to recapture my status or find numerous excuses to purchase toys for my two adorable tonkinese cats.
Gamification is an engagement technique that borrows video game mechanics (game features such as points, leaderboards, challenges, etc), and uses them to change behaviors in non-entertainment activities. For the most part gamification relies on these external motivators, and it really could have limitations on its ultimate effectiveness, as described in Motivation 2.0.
Why? Because it seems many gamification techniques are Motivation 2.0 – or at least being applied in that way. According to Daniel Pink the author of "Drive" there are two kinds of motivators – extrinsic and intrinsic. Pink's main point tears down the notion that you are likely to behave a certain way because you are motivated by an external goal or reward. These sort of motivators are only as good as the next "if -then" rewards. So "if" I went to buy some cat toys and I checked in, I could "then" become mayor, which did little to get me to stop what I was doing, head to the store and purchase yet more toys for my adoring felines. At least for me, Motivation 2.0 does not create sustainable behavior change, even though it seemed fun in the beginning. Once the mayor novelty wore off so did the desire to pull out my smart phone and check in every time I visited the location.
Contrast that with Motivation 3.0 which Pink defines as finding joy and motivation in simply "doing the activity." That's intrinsic motivation. Not to say that all gamification is meowing up the Motivation 2.0 tree as some game dynamics, such as altruism or self-expression, really are driven from within – but it should be thought through about what behavior changes are desired and how best to engage someone on the more intrinsic level. Product planning and business process design or BPM, both excellent candidates for using gamification, can only benefit if their intrinsic and extrinsic motivators are carefully designed, implemented …. and modified all the way so they will continue to deliver value (and fun) to their users.
