"You can think of the Volkswagen Polo as a smaller VW Golf - it really is that good. It features a range of excellent engines and most models are well equipped."
The Volkswagen Polo is one of the enduring models in the small family hatchback class. It appeals to people who want the build quality, refinement and comfort of a Volkswagen Golf, but in a smaller package. Its main rival, the Ford Fiesta, is more fun to drive, but can't match the VW's build quality.
With the new Vauxhall Corsa and the new Mazda2 set to go on sale towards the end of the year, Volkswagen has gave the Polo a thorough refresh in 2014. The latest versions feature new engines, revised in-car tech, new trim levels and subtly refreshed looks.
The Polo range offers a good selection of engines, with the most economical 1.4-litre diesel capable of 83.1mpg. If you don't like diesels, then the sporty BlueGT model offers a great balance between performance and economy.
Entry-level models are now powered by the same smooth and eager three-cylinder engine found in the Volkswagen up! city car, while the 1.2-litre TSI petrol line-up has been tweaked to include 89bhp and 109bhp versions. There's also an ultra-efficient BlueMotion model - available for the first time with a choice of petrol (1.0-litre TSI) or diesel (1.4-litre TDI) power.
The Polo tends to have less equipment for the money than rivals. The base model does without air-conditioning (it's a £720 option), but does get electronic stability control, electric front windows, a Bluetooth phone connection and an infotainment system with a colour touchscreen.
MPG, running costs & CO2
With a range of efficient engines, strong residuals and plenty of standard equipment, the Volkswagen Polo makes lots of financial sense
Engines, drive & performance
The Volkswagen Polo features a range of powerful petrol and diesel engines – although the entry-level versions need to be worked hard
Interior & comfort
Few supermini models can match the Volkswagen Polo for comfort, refinement and big-car feel
Practicality & boot space
A reasonably roomy interior, decent-sized boot and plenty of useful storage make the Volkswagen Polo a good choice for small families
Reliability & safety
The Volkswagen Polo is solidly built and uses tried-and-tested components, plus the recent facelift introduced a raft of standard kit

Busty women - and by "busty" I mean those ranging from "cleavage-baring" to "unable to be restrained by conventional brassieres" - are a key ingredient in most pornography and especially that of Denys Defrancesco. A Frenchman now based in Budapest, Defrancesco has many websites showcasing his work, but none are more inviting than DDF Busty. Home to women with seemingly boundless breasts, hooters that leap from their underwire cages and grab your attention by the balls, demanding a closer look, DDF Busty is Defrancesco's chest-heavy porn emporium.
When lecherously staring at women, most hetero guys ogle breasts, buttocks, and faces, that's a given. But those who let their eyes wander further south aren't necessarily aiming to observe a pubic tuft or tight snatch, it's Hot Legs and Feet they're after! A DDF site with a very clear purpose and product, Hot Legs and Feet sees Europe's most sensual models pose in stockings, tights, and nothing at all before enjoying a fondling of their lower limbs. Paired with men and women (often two-at-a-time) but also going it alone in no-less-kinky solo scenes, the Euro hotties twinkling their toes at Hot Legs and Feet are well worth watching no matter where the camera is aimed.
Take a look at the top ranking pornstars today and it would appear naturally formed, surgically untouched bodies have gone the way of the dinosaurs. 21Naturals proves that this is far from the case with its showcase of stunningly beautiful, all-natural models posing nude, masturbating, and making sweet, passionate love for your viewing pleasure. Shot and delivered in HD, 21Naturals has the visual artistry to pull of some truly majestic sex scenes as you, sitting comfortably at home, pull something else entirely.
The adult film director most awarded by Adult Video News (AVN) isn't the guy responsible for all those Marvel Comics XXX parodies, he's an unassuming master of heavily stylized porn who's been shooting smut since the early nineties. Michael Ninn, whose self-titled site appears on the blossoming Met Art Network, shoots sophisticated erotica, movies of distinction, smut with smarts! And, on his official site, members can partake of all the 300-inspired gladiator porn, more subtle solo shoots, and hardcore hetero and sapphic encounters they can handle.
A common complaint about artistically ambitious European pornography is that it's just too darn soft. The girls are beautiful, sure, and the scenery is just heavenly, but where's all the stroking and sucking and licking and fucking when you want it? As far as Met Art Network is concerned, the stuff you seek is at Sex Art, the hardcore equivalent of highly acclaimed erotica sites like Met Art and The Life Erotic. Sex Art serves up photo galleries, intimate hardcore scenes, and narrative-driven mini-features, and is definitely one site on this adult network that's well worth a look.
Part of the bustling and constantly growing Met Art Network, Errotica Archives brings an exclusive catalog of photo and video erotica from world-class photographers like Rylsky, Flora, Arturo, and Erro himself to the table. European beauties pose indoors and out, baring their bodies and exposing their sexualities in shoots lusty yet refined, arousing but subtly so, and you're invited to come and take a closer look via Errotica Archives' very impressive high-res shots. A softcore site with nothing in the way of penile penetration shots, Errotica Archives is quite appealing but seems to be struggling to create its own identity amongst Met Art's many offerings.
House of Taboo opened its doors in 2006 and in the eight years since has developed into a powerhouse of debuacherous BDSM porn. Rivaled only by Kink.com and Fetish Network, House of Taboo takes the more adventurous, even extreme side of human sexuality and lets it breathe on the small screen for your entertainment. Shot in HD and looking great, House of Taboo's spankings, anal invasions, golden showers, and almost anything else you're too timid to try yourself. Not quite as hyper-aggressive as some BDSM site, House of Taboo is a slightly more sophisticated take on the depths we'll sink to just to get off.
Having kept one eye open and trained on beautiful women for most of my life, I, Mr. Pink, your humble reviewer, find myself inordinately drawn to Watch 4 Beauty, a site boasting a large, exclusive, and original collection of softcore and light hardcore erotica starring models so breathtakingly beautiful you may doubt their very existence. Could girls this stunning really walk the same earth as you? Believe it, brother, and, as the poster says: Keep Calm and Watch 4 Beauty.

Coming Soon
- Study shows Chronix Biomedical liquid biopsy was 91% accurate at distinguishing patients with prostate cancer from patients with other medical conditions that may be associated with a higher PSA levels (e.g. Prostatitis or benign Prostate hyperplasia).
- There are approximately 1.2 million prostate biopsies a year in the US due to elevated PSA. Only 20% are found to be true cancer, almost 1 million biopsies were without any indication of a malignancy.
- Reducing unnecessary biopsies could reduce the $12 billion in estimated annual spending related to prostate cancer.
- Chronix Biomedical soon will be offering the first of its kind liquid biopsy test to aid doctors in their decision making whether patients with marginally elevated PSA would benefit a tissue biopsy or just being monitored

It may be his birthday today but Adam Lambert was doing the giving today.

He and Lena Dunham's Hannah go shopping at 'a really slutty store' with see-through dressing rooms
In a scene never seen by viewers of HBO's Girls, Andrew Rannells strips down to his skivvies at a store unaware the walls are made of see-through glass - not mirrors.
'This is a really slutty store,' Rannells' Elijah tells Lena Dunham's Hannah.
Before he takes his pants off, the scene is a fun conversation between the pals as they shop for a gift for Hannah's boyfriend, Adam.
He tweets: "Anyone find it interesting how straight male pop stars are pandering to gay audiences lately!?"
It's not lost on Adam Lambert that some supposedly straight male pop stars are aggressively courting gay male fans.
He's not naming names but it seems clear he's got to be talking about Nick Jonas who has flashed his abs at gay clubs or One Direction's Harry Styles who seemed to hint in a recent interview that he might be bisexual.
The openly gay Lambert is asking his Twitter followers: 'Anyone find it interesting how straight male pop stars are pandering to gay audiences lately!? Should we be flattered? Progress or strategy?'

Going on a rant on the Channel 4 show The Last Leg, he had some harsh but incredible words for the 'God Hates Fags' church.

'Firstly, regardless of your religious beliefs you don't just disrupt a funeral. A person has died, his family are mourning, it's not about you dickhead.
Hit the Floor star hopes Zero will find himself next season

The pair, who began an affair a few episodes back, have a heart-to-heart in the locker room with Jude (Brent Antonello) saying he wants a real relationship, not just a sexual one.
'He was living in a time when, as a celebrity or a rock star, it was something that was kind of off-limits'
Currently on tour as the frontman for Queen, Adam Lambert is performing a lot of the same classic songs the band's late lead singer Freddie Mercury did in the 70s and 80s.

The openly gay American Idol star spoke about Smith's announcement, and said he has a lot of empathy for the performer.
Speaking to The Daily Star, the For Your Entertainment singer said: 'It's hard because even though things have changed a lot since I came out it's still a drama or talking point.
'He told me he has never had an issue about his sexuality until now because everyone is making such a big deal about it which is crazy.'
Hunky officer gives sly smile when told he's become something of a web celeb

Jokes CNN anchor: 'This is pretty much the platinum bomb heard round the world'
So why should Anderson Cooper care at all that Adam Levine has dyed his hair platinum blond?

During his occasional segment The Ridiculist this week, Cooper pointed out that someone wrote to Levine on Twitter: 'Your hair makes you look like a much more attractive Anderson Cooper.'
Levine says he doesn't know why he changed his hair but said on The Voice this week that 'it just felt right.'
The Very Best of Adam Lambert will include three performances from American Idol
Adam Lambert has been plenty busy in 2014 filming episodes of Glee and preparing a tour with the surviving members of Queen.
One thing he has not done lately is release a new album.

Transgender beauty expert Drew-Ashlyn Cunningham argues a subtle approach is a better way to get attention
I took a photo the other day of me in a bodycon dress and I must admit I felt pretty sexy.
But, that being said, it made me look back to how I used to dress a few years ago. So I did a comparison. Even though the style of the dresses is both bodycon bandage, I look completely different.
I know I've changed a lot over time – my makeup has got better, my hair is a lot darker, my lips are far fuller. The overall image is different. Yes, I'm still dressed sexy but I think now it's in a more classy way.
Paris Saint Germain has defended his anti-gay views, saying it is not right for a man to live with a man and a woman with a woman

A former Chelsea player, the soccer star is one of the most vocally critical of the LGBTI community in the game.

Speaking to Swedish paper Expressen, he said his views are not homophobic.
'God says one should love all people for what they are,' he said.
Brian May says Lambert 'the only singer' who can deliver as lead singer of their classic songs
Adam Lambert announced today that he will be performing with the two surviving members of the classic rock band Queen in a 19-date North American tour this summer.
Lambert appeared on ABC's Good Morning America with Brian May and Roger Taylor for the announcement.
The American Idol alum called May and Taylor 'rock royalty' and described Queen as 'one of the quintessential rock bands of all time - they have formed music no one's ever heard before.'
'They've influenced bands for years to come,' he added.
Season 8 runner-up returns this week as mentor and says 'show is doing a really good job this year of revamping'

The Grammy nominee, the first openly gay artist to ever have an album reach the number one spot on the Billboard sales charts, likes what is happening to the singing competition this season.

A Paris Saint-Germain FC and former Chelsea player Alex Rodrigo Dias Da Costa has said it is 'Adam and Eve, not Adam and Yves'.
Broadcasters Canel+ will be airing a documentary tonight (8 January) called 'Jesus Football Club', exploring Ligue 1 players relationship with religion.
Reality show star and former Olympian does acknowledge wanting to reduce his Adam's Apple
Bruce Jenner wants to have his Adam's Apple shaved but that doesn't mean he wants to become a woman.
The 1976 Olympic Gold Medalist in the decathlon, better known these days as the stepfather to the Kardashian sisters, met with a plastic surgeon this week to discuss what is known as a Laryngeal Shave, according to TMZ.com.
Shankman had told Gay Star News this week he planned on 'vanishing' during holiday season
As Adam Shankman cheerfully worked the red carpet at Sunday's star-studded Trevor Live! event in Hollywood, the director of Hairspray and Rock of Ages was keeping a secret.
Shortly after the benefit for The Trevor Project, which he directed, he would be checking into rehab.
When Gay Star News asked Shankman what his holiday plans were, he hinted at what was to come.
'I am actually definitively not telling people, I'm vanishing,' he said. 'I'm going away.'
British Olympic diver called 'faggot' and more on social media
Tom Daley coming out as bisexual is the top trending topic on Twitter today - even ahead of Cyber Monday.
While the 19-year-old athlete has received scores of supportive tweets - including from such famous gays as Neil Patrick Harris, Jason Collins and Stephen Fry - there has been an onslaught of negative feedback ranging from snarky to homophobic slurs.
Here is a sampling:
'As a musician, you have fantasies that you want to win Grammys, but I didn't really think that this was on the table'
Described as seductive, cool and confident, Adam Levine has been named People magazine's 'Sexiest Man Alive' for 2013.
The star of NBC's The Voice could also have been described as a staunch LGBTI ally.
Levine, who has a gay brother, made headlines last year when he said that if he were US president for a day, the first thing he'd do is make gay marriage legal.
Was rejected by show that begins featuring him in guest role this week
Imagine an alternative pop culture universe where Adam Lambert was cast as a kid on Glee instead of making his name on American Idol.
It could have happened.
The Grammy-nominated star says he auditioned for the Fox hit in his pre-Idol days.
'It's funny because I actually auditioned for the show before it started before I was on Idol. The casting director was like. "Well, I love your voice but I think you're too old to be in the show" and so I didn't get it. And then Idol happened.'

Trying to figure out what to brew. I only have enough equipment for an extract brew. I was thinking something similar to Long Trail Harvet or a robust porter. Any Ideas?
You should be able to get a good extract recipe or kit for something like an Irish red, brown ale, porter, or stout.

Toyota Highlander Car Covers
Keeping your Toyota Highlander safe is important for you and your car. Take a look at the Toyota Highlander car covers at CARiD to find the best one for you. If you're looking for an indoor car cover, Covercraft's Custom Polycotton is a great choice. It is made of polyester which is water and UV-resistant. Its cotton gives it a gentle touch against your vehicle's paint. The Custom Tan Flannel is another car cover for indoor usage. It's made of a durable Polycotton blend which is soft against your car's paint. If your car is typically stored in a place where moisture can be an issue, the Custom Deluxe Block It 380 offers wonderful performance at a very competitive price. Air quickly circulates under the cover and reduces the build-up of heat. For maximum dust-resistance, UV-resistance and water-resistance, the Custom Noah is a superb car cover to use. The Custom Ultratect is water and UV-resistant and a great option for outdoor usage.
Coverking is another leading manufacturer in car covers for the Toyota Highlander. If your car is stored indoors, try the Satin Stretch for protection. It keeps your interior and exterior safe by blocking moisture build-up which causes mildew, mold and rust. The Mosom Plus on the other hand, is suitable for outdoor and indoor use. It is created with a barrier that protects against heavy downpours. If you're still in need of some more options, try the Coverbond 4 by Coverking, the Autobody Armor or the Silverguard Plus. The Autobody Armor Car Cover is made of a custom material that stretches to fit, and is great for light weather use. The Coverbond 4, on the other hand, can handle stronger conditions like light hail as well as other elements like dust, pollutants, UV rays, scratches and dents. For protection against all-weather conditions except extreme conditions, try the Silverguard Plus by Coverking.

Pretty simple installation and I was glad that it fit over the kayak carrier on the roof rack. It is a little baggy but simple and easy to use. Great price and i hope it holds up to the CA sunshine!

Measurement of higher-order mode propagation losses in effectively single mode fibers |
Optics Letters, Vol. 38, Issue 23, pp. 4958-4961 (2013)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (370 KB)
We present a direct and nondestructive measurement of the propagation loss of higher-order modes (HOMs) in effectively single-mode fibers. Lossy HOMs are excited by applying local stress at various points alongside a straight single mode fiber. The change of the HOM power as a function of the propagation distance is recorded at the fiber end by performing a modal decomposition with a correlation filter. The results for the HOM propagation loss are compared to simulations yielding very good agreement.

So after 11 of the 18 rounds of the Club Championship, things are starting to take shape.
A great weekend of racing "up north" and in Wales has just finished with some really noteworthy results for the Club. Headlines were wins for Simon Bailey (overall), Mel Price (ladies) and Billy Starling (U16B) at Burnsall and great placings for Simon (3rd overall), Mel (2nd lady) and the Starling brothers at Grasmere Sports. Whilst the adults called it a weekend on Sunday night (as far as I know), Billy and Joe Starling went on to place highly at Reeth on Bank Holiday Monday.
Results from the two Stiperstones junior races are now up in the results section of the site - they've been amalgamated into one document for simplicity's sake so the U10 results occupy the first five places then the U12s and U14s.
The club will be running three fell running specific coaching sessions over the summer holidays. All three sessions will take place at the scout hut in Church Stretton (on the Rectory Field where the Relays were held last year). The sessions will start at 10:00. Each session will comprise a brief introduction and some inside work on a fell running technique, followed by a coached practical session close to the scout hut. We will then have a short tea/coffee break and do another indoor session before we finish at 12:00.
The Callow race results are now available here. Apologies for the delay but I've been away.
Sorry for the delay, just had a few hitches with getting the results off the laptop and on to the website, but all is well now the results are up and running on the results page of the website
Alastair was missing last night, but the show must go on, so in steps Stuart Cathcart from High Sports in Shrewsbury, those who were running will have seen him hiding behind his camera just before the summit, his pictures can be seen on the High Sport Website, or for a quick link straight to the images Click Here
It may have been one of our smaller fields, but that did not stop the pain as every runner tried their very best, fell running is a fantastic sport, and tonight was one of those nights, the sun shone, it was warm, and everyone had seemed to embrace the friendly feeling that is so typical of our sport, the handicap times issued seemed to matter little, everyone just went out there and ran their socks off, the fact there was a handicap allegedly giving each one of us, slow or fast an equal chance made just one difference, we all tried just a little harder, congratulations goes to the fir

High Interest Savings Account?

Does anyone have any recommendations? We've had money in one with a special bonus interest period and the bonus period is now over so it's earning pretty much somewhere between nothing and bugger all! Time to move it! Criteria - must be covered by the govt guarantee, would prefer it accessible rather than term deposit, don't care if it's only online access, don't plan on making withdrawals, would rather not have to keep making deposits - but would if it made a huge difference.
Thanks #2Posted 24 January 2013 - 07:46 PM
I have an ANZ account, as long as you deposit a certain amount each month and don't make any withdrawals, it will pay the normal interest and also the additional bonus interest.
#3Posted 25 January 2013 - 06:39 AM
I like my UBank Saver account. It's online or phone banking only. It's associated with National Australia Bank.
#4Posted 25 January 2013 - 06:46 AM
Yep, ubank here too, but I started it a while ago, and I need to get around to seeing if it's still the best rate available.
#5Posted 25 January 2013 - 06:54 AM
Check on the canstar rating site and see who's paying the most interest. All Australian banks/credit unions/etc and local subsidiaries of international banks are covered by the govt guarantee so that's not something you need to worry about. Unless you have more than $1million, in which case, I'd be getting some serious financial advice and not just putting it in a bank account!!
#6Posted 25 January 2013 - 10:06 AM
I will keep a eye out on this as I am on the look out as well.
#7Posted 25 January 2013 - 10:06 AM
Double post.
Edited by *melrose*, 25 January 2013 - 10:06 AM. #8Posted 25 January 2013 - 04:42 PM
LOL Escapin, that would be a problem I'd love to have! Nowhere near that amount but as it's earmarked for something specific in the next couple of years and the state of both the share and property market our financial planner recommended we keep it in the bank - pretty rare advice from a financial planner!
Off to check out ANZ, ubank and canstar, so far the best I've seen apart from the short term offers (and experience tells me I won't be organised enough to move the money every 4 months to keep using the good introductory rates) is RAMS at 4.82% if you deposit $200 a month or 4.02 if you just leave it without monthly deposits. #9Posted 25 January 2013 - 05:16 PM
Reward Saver at Westpac has 4.67% at the moment
#10Posted 25 January 2013 - 05:20 PM
ING? Intro rate of 5%.
#11Posted 25 January 2013 - 05:59 PM
If you're happy with your current bank, can you just open a new savings account with them and transfer the money to that?
I have a savings account with NAB and each time the bonus interest expires I just open a new account. Super easy to do online (but you have to go into a branch to close the old account) #12Posted 26 January 2013 - 10:16 PM
Me Bank online savings account. 5.1% variable intro rate for first 12 months.
http://mebank.com.au/personal/bank-account...savings-account #13Posted 26 January 2013 - 10:24 PM
Do you have a mortgage on your home with free redraw? Put it there. I bet your mortgage rate would be higher than any interest rate you can find.
You will not pay tax on the interest you 'earn' as savings on your mortgage interest. #14Posted 26 January 2013 - 10:31 PM
Another vote for UBank!
#15Posted 27 January 2013 - 06:37 PM QUOTE (beaglebaby @ 25/01/2013, 02:42 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> and experience tells me I won't be organised enough to move the money every 4 months to keep using the good introductory rates Mum rings her bank every time her account finishes and threatens to move all of the banking unless they match the intro offers. She's been doing it for years. #16Posted 27 January 2013 - 06:59 PM
I just opened a stgeorge maxisaver account. Can access it whenever you want and get 4.80% interest
#17Posted 27 January 2013 - 07:23 PM
UBank. Current interest rate is 4.66%, plus if you set up an automatic savings plan and deposit $200 per month you get an extra .7% interest (5.36% total).
#18Posted 27 January 2013 - 07:30 PM
ING also offer an extra 0.75% interest if you increase your balance by $200 per month.
I would consider a personal term deposit if you don't think you need the money. If you do need to break it, most of them still give you interest, it is just their usual savings rate rather than the term deposit interest rate. #19Posted 27 January 2013 - 11:21 PM
I had a unbank account. Great for interest and use. Had an ing for years but the rate really dropped so transferred to ubank and my online saver through my credit union.

AUS GovCo bank guarantee stopped March 2010:-
http://www.guaranteescheme.gov.au/ Governments would be mad, to use taxpayer funds, OR rely on printing - to 'guarantee deposits', risky, particularly 2013 and on. Edited by Keepleft, 03 February 2013 - 09:18 AM. #21Posted 03 February 2013 - 09:50 AM QUOTE ING? Intro rate of 5%. Yes but that's just for 4 months, before dipping back to 3.25% with a 0.7% bonus when you deposit $200/month - which brings it up to only 3.95% over all. UBank are offering 4.66% which includes the 0.7% bonus. Just worked out that with my deposits, I can earn over $700 interest in one year with UBank. Not bad. Edited by 808state, 03 February 2013 - 09:59 AM. #22Posted 03 February 2013 - 09:56 AM
if you would be bothered - just ask for a higher interest rate. Chances are they will give it to you rather than losing you. Or do what shy people I do - close the account, open one somewhere else

Aviator flew out of segregated schools and up into space
For Veteran Voice
Winston Scott's life story is straightforward.
"I came out of the 'hood, as they say, and I flew in space," he said.
The Boys & Girls Club of Martin County recently announced the Navy veteran and Space Shuttle astronaut will headline the 2015 Distinguished Speakers Luncheon, March 2 at Sailfish Point Golf Club, 1648 S.E. Sailfish Point Blvd., Stuart. The luncheon will be noon to 2 p.m.
Scott, who is the senior vice president of external relations and economic development at Melbourne's Florida Institute of Technology, grew up in Miami and attended segregated schools until his sophomore year in high school. The experience of segregation seems to be a sharp contrast to what he saw when he went into orbit on STS-72, Endeavour, and STS-87, Columbia.
"You see one Earth," he said. "I won't say 'big Earth,' because from space it looks awfully small."

Artist, family man, veteran of Pork Chop Hill bidden farewell
Staff Writer
He was always "Petey" to Ray, his friend of 75 years, who attended P.S. 222 in Brooklyn, N.Y., with him and remained his friend for 75 years.
He was "my hero" to his daughter. He was "my brother" to Army veteran Bill Arnold. He shared "the same trenches, the same screaming shells" of Korea with longtime friend John Holdorf, a former Army captain who served with him.
He was a successful self-taught artist, who also played piano by ear. A building contractor, who helped people pick up the pieces of their lives after Hurricane Katrina. A dad who taught his kids lessons in hard work, and helping other people. A man who loved his wife deeply.
"He was just amazing," Holdorf said.
Peter Popolizio, Port St. Lucie, died Feb. 15 of cardiac arrest. At his memorial service Feb. 19, he was honored for a life spent achieving much, while trying — most would say unsuccessfully — to keep himself in the background.
At least 100 people showed up at Martin Funeral Home, Port St. Lucie, to pay tribute to Popolizio, an Army Korean War veteran of Pork Chop Hill, during which he received a Silver Star for saving the lives of two comrades.

Graphic Designer. Culinary Enthusiast. Mostly User Friendly.
I really enjoyed this. It felt pretty substantial -- especially for a young adult novel -- with interesting characters, decent writing and a story that had some depth. I was kept completely engrossed by Khristine Hvam's narration. I've already downloaded the next book and can't wait to listen!
"Inventive and well written"
Very interesting and thought provoking story of prejudice, love and war. There's meat presented here for those who wish to ponder the beautiful and ugly in each soul, but it's wrapped into a pleasing package of fluid and unusual prose. The setting is described in lovely and haunting terms. The performance is very *very* good (brava on the male roles!), though I have given it 4 rather than 5 stars because of some jarring mispronunciations.
The second half of the book lags in a series of flashbacks that - in my opinion - might have been more interesting broken up and scattered more. However, I can see the wisdom behind presenting them as they are, as well, so I have not rated the story down.
Based on a simple overall concept, this is a creative and well written story: a very enjoyable bonbon of a book.
"This is a MUST HAVE!!"
Refreshing, totally unbound, well narrated, and just completely worth it! I quickly bought book 2 ( just couldn't wait for more credits to be added, I paid anyway) I am holding my breath for the next addition. I can't wait to see where this author goes with this!
Acupuncture student with a long commute to school who loves quirky horror and sci-fi/fantasy
"I loved this!!"
I loved this audio book! It was engaging and the narrator brought the characters to life
I wish I knew as I loved it
she did a great job separating all of the characters and really making you feel like you knew each of them
yes!! I was obsessed with it, I listen in my car when I commute and I found myself sitting in my driveway when I got home and not wanting to come inside because I was so into it
Whats to tell I am your avarage 30something, with kids, a husband, job and life. Besides that I drive a lot and love to listen to books instead of the radio. I will stay up until 3am in bed listening if the book is worth it, and I have also been known to return a couple of books that I could not get threw the first chapter. I am a bad speller so I apoligize for it now, but will be honest about my reviews.
"good good good good good"
Love the book and the series keep up the good work. cant wait for the next book. credit well spent
"Best Audiobook Ever"
gripping, epic, poetic
character and dialogue
anything with Zuzana
the descriptive writing was phenomenal
I can't wait for #3.
"Wonderfully inventive"
Let me just say this, these are some hardcore angels! Don't read this book expecting halos and harps. These angels come with swords and fire wings and they are beautiful and terrible and let me tell you it WORKS! And then there where the others. The others give new meaning to lions and tigers and bears-oh my! The tangle of beasts in this books are just as engaging and mysterious as they are monterous-in the physical sense that is. And the stories heroine is a blue haired 17yo artist who amazingly enough ties both worlds together without even knowing it. This is a wonderful book. I enjoyed every bit of it and i look forward to reading the entire series once it is available.
The reader does a wonderful job bringing all these bright and curious beings to life. Well done everyone!
Love this site! I have a very busy job, so listening to audio books enables me to keep up on great stories!
"Paints a beautiful picture!"
Yes, it's so lovely. Rich pictures are painted, beautiful narration, amazing story, and characters you really care about.
Karou of course! A kickbutt heroine! Very lovable. Flawed, real. I like her.
Wonderful accents, a lovely pitch, good meter. She did great!
"Once upon a time, and angel and a devil fell in love. It did not go well."
Purchased the second book immediately after finishing this one. I couldn't wait to see what happened!
"The best story I've read (hear) this year!"
At first, I wasn't sure about Khristine Hvam--Karou sounded a bit too much like Arial from the Little Mermaid--but I was soon impressed by how she slipped in and out of the different character's voices, and she won me over. The story, however, had me at hello. Daughter of Smoke and Bone is the best fantasy story I've heard (or read) this year. I'm so excited to hear the rest!
"Can't stop listening...Can't wait for more!"
Yes, I've listened to it three times already. Taylor tells an incredible story that listeners will fall in love with. You can't help but listen to hear what happens to the characters. Plus, it's full of twists and turns.
The characters and setting are exceptional.
Sure. She was a great narrator.
An impossible love, made possible by truth.
I can not wait for the 2nd book!!!

Movie Info
A teenager at a personal crossroads finds himself questioning the things that have given his life meaning in this independent coming-of-age drama. Roy Chutney (Ryan Gosling) is a high school senior in a small Montana town. Roy doesn't have an especially close relationship with his mother Evangelline (Kelly Lynch), and he hasn't seen his father in years. That doesn't prevent Roy from feeling emotionally devastated when he learns that his father has killed himself, and Roy's self-esteem takes a … More

LoginCritic Reviews for The Slaughter Rule
All Critics (31) | Top Critics (11) | Fresh (22) | Rotten (8) | DVD (3)
The writing and directing team of twin brothers Alex and Andrew Smith have made an astonishingly good first feature.
Having made his name as a ferocious, self-hating Jewish skinhead in The Believer, 22-year-old Ryan Gosling gives another memorable performance as a lonely, world-hating fatherless quarterback in The Slaughter Rule.
[Gosling] once again shows how magnetic he can be in challenging roles.
As compellingly played by Morse, a great actor who gives pic more than it gives him, Gideon comes off as a sensitive soul who knows how risky it can be to appear too sensitive in a small town.
The film's powerful meditation on masculinity gets much of its credibility and punch from the two leads, especially Morse, a reliable character actor who sinks his teeth into a role with heavy physical and psychological demands.
David Morse, who's spent the last 20 years kicking around network television and building up an resume of impressive movie credits, establishes himself as a truly formidable presence in this powerful first feature by Alex and Andrew Smith.
Gosling and Morse give strong performances in this bitter pill movie.
Everyone's got demons to deal with -- from Gideon's guilt over a kid that played for him and died under mysterious circumstances to the audience's unwillingness to sit through two hours of yet another inspirational football movie.
Best movie I saw in 2002. Features a terrifyingly real performance by David Morse.
Montana's wide-open spaces -- and the closed hearts of the people who live there -- make for a sincere, superbly acted story of loss and need.
Writer-directors Andrew and Alex Smith go for emotional truth, but what they come up with is often silly.
A timid template of an indie movie that glides through all the proper turns, sticks up all the appropriate signposts, and never once takes a demanding or truthful step.
A keen and compassionate drama.
Clear, cold and yet uniquely sensitive, The Slaughter Rule isn't a by-the-book flick, but that's what makes it so good.
Unlike Terrence Malick, whose shadow looms over the film's visual style, the Smiths over-explain, not grasping that all those barren fields and blood-red clouds are doing plenty of work for them.
None of the characters' troubled histories or transformations are as compelling as Gosling and Duvall's unforced emotional complexity would promise or merit.
The movie has a richness that blows away most first features, not to mention most sports movies.
Beautiful in its stark way.
The film's real strength lies in two excellent performances, from veteran Morse and up-and-comer Gosling.
First-time filmmakers Andrew and Alex Smith have a potentially intriguing and very different tale, but they consistently shoot themselves in the foot with their amateurishly self-conscious direction.
Audience Reviews for The Slaughter Rule
[font=Century Gothic]In "The Slaughter Rule", Roy(Ryan Gosling) is not having the best of weeks - his father is killed, then he is cut from his high school football team, apparently for not being angry enough. A coach of an independent six-man football team, Gideon(David Morse) recruits him to his team. There are local whispers as to whether Gideon's interest in Roy is purely professional...while Roy catches the eye of an attractive waitress, Skyla(Clea Duvall).[/font]
[font=Century Gothic]"The Slaughter Rule" is a deliberately paced movie that takes full advantage of its unique setting in rural Montana. The beautiful scenery contrasts wonderfully with the hardscrabble lives of the characters. I thought it did a very realistic job of portraying small town life especially for the teenagers. I wish it had made more of a statement concerning masculinity, though. The performances are fine, especially David Morse who finally gets to play a character he can sink his teeth into.[/font]
[font=Century Gothic]Note: On Saturday, I saw "Dallas 362" where Kelly Lynch plays a widowed mother. In "The Slaughter Rule", she plays a character who is officially divorced when her ex-husband is killed. Is this a trend or am I really having one of those weeks?[/font]

In their book Secular Cycles, Peter Turchin and Surgey Nefedov point out the important role falling wages of the common workers played in early collapses. I got to thinking that this might be an issue with our current situation as well, including the low level of oil prices.
I explain this in two presentations. The first one is called "Overview of a Networked Economy". The second one is called, "Economic Growth and Diminishing Returns."
A couple of (amateurish) slides that need explanation are the following ones:
The cloud above my representation of the economy is supposed to represent the cloud of goods and services that the economy makes. Many people would like us to believe that as long as this cloud is growing, everything is fine.
What Peter Turchin discovered is that there is a smaller cloud that really needs to be growing, as well. Continue reading

Kendrick Lamar - Hater Love
Artist: Kendrick Lamar
Producer: Cool & Dre
Album: The Me
Avg Rating: 2.3 ( 29 votes )
Throwback Thursday: This week will go down in hip-hop history as the week that Kendrick Lamar and Control took over hip-hop. So for today's Throwback Thursday, we thought it'd be only right to take a look at where it all started for Kendrick, at least where DJBooth is concerned, and bring back the very first song we featured from the then K. Dot, 2008's Hater Love. From K. Dot to even be mentioned in the same breath as rap's all-time greats, even the haters have to admit they love Kendrick Lamar.
K. Dot believes in unconditional love. On his new single, Hater Love, the Compton native makes a tongue-in-cheek confession about loving his haters, without whose efforts he would find himself uncontested, unknown, and unable to make them look whack. And that's half of what rap is all about, right? With a delivery that sounds eerily similar to Lil Wayne's and a mean street drawl, K. Dot sure is talented enough to be hated by those that aren't. Hater Love is produced by Cool and Dre, whose bright fugue of horns and crip-walking piano give the beat a real West Coast feel. If you're feeling the track or just want some advice on how to do deal with the cynics, check out K. Dot's forthcoming self-titled EP.
