"I've worked with the best cats around, and Nicky is one of a kind. This sweet and soulful jazz cat followed his dream and came out a winner. I love him and so will the kids!" —Quincy Jones "Nicky the Jazz Cat teaches young people about humor, improvisation, and individuality. His swinging adventures with his special jazz friends will inspire and delight children as they learn. Nicky is one cool cat!" —Wynton Marsalis When a jazz-loving kitten named Nicky meets a legendary trumpet player, he learns how to play jazz and word travels fast—soon all the top musicians hear about this jazz cat and want to play with him. This charming story is illustrated with photographs of Nicky with jazz greats Roy Eldridge, Lionel Hampton, Lena Horne, Quincy Jones, Abbey Lincoln, and Gerry Mulligan as they meet and make friends. The colorful graphics and rhyming text—call and response conversation between Nicky and his new musician friends—reflect the humor, rhythm, and spirit of jazz itself. Nicky the Jazz Cat teaches children about the magic of jazz, the value of friends and mentors, and the power of imagination and originality. Children and adults alike will delight in his journey from curious jazz kitten to acclaimed jazz cat.

The theory goes that the amount of infrared light can be varied to control the amount of drug that is released from the gold-coated liposomes.
"By using more or less light, you can release more or less of the drug and time the responses as well, so when you trigger light, some drug will leak, you can trigger it again and have more drug leak, or you can wait a little while, let the drug disperse, do its thing, then trigger it again. It allows for a lot more freedom with the release process," said Leung. "By having this very triggered response you can hit that therapeutic window."
Despite increased blood-flow to tumor cells and the key-in-lock action of the ligands, some liposomes may still end up inside healthy cells. In that case, the gold-coating could potentially act to prevent release of the toxic drug to the healthy cells.
By selectively shining the infrared light only in the tumor region, doctors could make sure only liposomes in the tumor region are able to release the drug.
"Once you know where the tumors are, you can go ahead and point your light source toward those areas. Whatever else is left will leave the body or may be slowly released, but not to as high or as toxic of levels as it would be if you just injected the drug systemically," said Leung.
The invention has another bonus: "The gold-coated liposome is biodegradable, which is one of the best parts of our system," said Leung. Currently there are no approved chemotherapeutic treatments that allow the gold nanostructures to be eliminated from the body by the body's own mechanisms, said Leung.
Kidneys, the organs that normally filter waste molecules out of the blood, have a limit as to the size of molecule they can filter. "Because of the size it degrades into, our system should be clearable via the kidney, which is really unique," said Leung.

Family reunion: Brett Hull wears father Bobby's No. 9
Updated: October 8, 2005, 11:44 PM ETAssociated Press
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Brett Hull trotted out a No. 9 jersey -- a number unused by the Winnipeg-Phoenix franchise since his father left the Jets during the 1979-80 season -- and the Coyotes made Bobby Hull the first member of their Glendale Arena Ring of Honor on Saturday night.
The festivities before the game against Minnesota drew rousing cheers from a standing-room-only crowd attending the Coyotes' home debut under coach Wayne Gretzky.
Gretzky stayed behind the bench, but ...

Are we looking for the same things? Might I be the one? If your looking for someone new on this site, I might be the one
Oh my God it is essay time! I am looking for that person that will be my Best Friend for life. Someone that I can laugh with, grow with, share good times and bad times with, someone that will make me complete and at the same time allow me to fill that void in their life to make them complete. I am looking for that special person so that we can grow together year after year.. Plain and simple I am looking for my soul mate !Balance is key to any Good Life and I try to balance between work, Responsibility and Play. I have my doubts about the whole Match thing but if it can find that special person that my life is missing I am ready and willing to take the chance. I guess I am still a hopeless romantic at heart and hope that love is just around the corner I am Dynamic, out going, friendly, self motivated, I like to have fun and try to live life to its fullest. I have worked very hard to get where I am at and life and undertand it all means nothing unless you learn to live and enjoy the moment. I am so over the more, more, more, stage of my life and feel fortunate to have everything that I have. If you are warm hearted, down to earth, like to enjoy life and really able to let someone new in your life......................Send me an email. If you like to travel and enjoy new adventures I might be your man. Time is the one thing none of us ever have enough so I choose to spend it wisely. I am not looking to meet this whole site, I only want to find that one person to make my life reach its full potential

Some other viewpoint
From New York to Paris, London to Madrid, Vegas to San Francisco, The world is full of great getaway places, But probably the best place is the quite retreat with that special someone where you are all alone
I must admit I have been some what spoiled as I have gotten older and have grown accustomed to the finer things and places in life, but I am still very grounded and very down to earth.A whole in wall with the right person can still be the best of all
I have always believed variety is the spice of life. I am well traveled and have been around the world several times and continue to travel to new places. At the same time I also enjoy quality time at home with friends and family. Balance
Sadly enough most of my reading now a days has been business related and investment related..........I hope that changes sometime soon..........I do enjoy movie night once a week but its not the same as reading a good book

Head in the clouds
Day 11
Morning of day 11 saw me say good bye to Thunder Bay and head on out to Manitoba via Minnesota.
Nice roads and skies.
Not long after,
Even more miles done than the previous day, with a total of 750km. Which, at the moment, is about as long a distance as I care to do on Big O. Was quite happy to get off him when we reached the campground. But I have a feeling that as the days go by and get use to the plywood seat and the ridiculously vibby hand grips, that maximum is going to go up...
One of the things that I've always wanted to see in the prairies is a thunder storm. With the wide open landscape, when on the proper side of the storm front, you get to actually see the storm cell and not just experience it. Well my wish was very quickly granted: I had not one but two cumulonimbus greet me at the Manitoba border!! Seems that if you ride fast enough, you can go through them and once you reach the other side, you get to see them! Nice!!
Big O's take on today's events
What a dreamy place to gallivant! Even the clouds where being herded away by this nice giant.
So that I would not get my feet wet perhaps? How thoughtful of him!

Is My Child Ready for Preschool?
Getting Prepped for Preschool
When you think it's time for your child to try preschool, experts recommend doing plenty of research to find the best atmosphere to provide the benefits. "Talk to the director and the teachers, and see what the preschool's goals are for children that age," says Hays. "Look at the classroom and facilities, and briefly observe how comfortable the children seem to be."
Get your child ready for preschool by building anticipation instead of anxiety, Hays says. "Introduce them to the idea of preschool because when kids know what to expect, they feel more secure," she says.
Specifically, in the year leading up to preschool, visit the classroom. "It's best if the child can see the classroom, meet the teacher -- and if you can, seek out children who will be in the classroom," she says.
"I advise parents to talk to their kids about what will happen in preschool, what they will do, how much fun it will be, and how many friends they will make," she says. "It's about getting your child to have a positive attitude about preschool."
Another tip: "Don't just get everything ready yourself," Hays says. "Let your child pick and pack their backpack and choose a special snack. Invite the child to help because this helps build positive anticipation and makes preschool more of an adventure and something to look forward to."
You can help them get ready to learn too. "Point out letters and numbers on streets and buildings, and shapes and colors in architecture. The more you talk to your child and the more you read to your child, the more vocabulary they are building," says Hays.
Helping your child become self-sufficient is another important step. "Encourage this by allowing your child to brush their hair, put on their own pants, button some buttons and zip some zippers," Hays suggests. "It's good for a child to have that sense of accomplishment, and this will translate into other areas, including using the potty. Self-confidence is the most important thing a kid can go to preschool with. And when they know how to do things by themselves, they will feel accomplished and capable and comfortable going into this big new world."

JERSALEM—The receiver for the Israeli franchisee of Domino's Pizza, Roni Matari, submitted a plan to a bankruptcy court on Dec. 4, to keep the chain running for three more months.
According to Haaretz Daily, the Domino's franchisee management, Umani Brandname Foods, and Bank Hapoalim—the main creditor of the Israeli franchisee—have approved the plan, which was based on a similar plan formed by management last February.
The recovery plan includes closing three of the chain's 25 branches and downsizing its logistical center, while launching new products and offering special deals. In addition, Matari plans to spend NIS 150,000 (U.S. $31,000) a month on advertising.
During the Dec. 4, hearing, Matari also asked the court to approve a NIS 1.8 million (U.S. $370,000) loan from Hapoalim to pay workers' salaries for November and part of December, as well as a NIS 1.7 million (U.S. $349,000) credit line. The credit line is needed because Israeli Domino's customers usually pay by credit card, delaying the chain's receipt of funds for a month.
Based on the plan, Domino's sales are expected to decline by NIS 400,000 (U.S. $82,000) a month during the three-month period. Nevertheless, Matari argued that it is essential to keep the chain running, because a temporary closure would cause customers to switch to other brands and complicate the inevitable sale of the franchise. The report said Matari wants to sell the chain quickly because waiting too long will hurt the company's market value.

Goodwill Computer Museum Catalog Conversion Project Description
Historical Note:
Established in 2007, the Goodwill Computer Museum (GCM) in Austin, Texas, serves as both an educational space for the public as well as a repository that documents the history of computer technology from the mid-20th century to the present day. The vast majority of its collections have been acquired through recycled electronics donated to the Computerworks Division of the Goodwill Industries of Texas. In addition to raising awareness about the environmental importance of recycling electronics, the GCM seeks to draw customers to the Computerworks store in order to resell affordable computers and computer parts. The Computerworks Division recycles 250 tons of electronics annually, thus reducing a large portion of waste equal to that produced by approximately 765 US households per year.
Despite its founding in 2007, the GCM began collecting computer hardware and software in 1999. The GCM also sought to restore a great deal of the materials it collected, employing the expertise of volunteer engineers, technologists, those interested in retrocomputing, and students from the School of Information at the University of Texas at Austin. The GCM sheds light on the history of computer technology not only in its exhibition space, but also in its catalog database, which contains information on its artifactual holdings.
Scope and Contents:
Comprising catalog entries for hardware, software, documentation, and associated metadata, the Goodwill Computer Museum's catalog database documents the museum's collection of recycled and donated computer hardware and software, illustrating the history of the evolution of computer technology. The database contains not only metadata for artifacts, but also photographs and scanned schematics. Though originally cataloged first as a custom application and later in Fedora Commons, the catalog as found consisted of two different though interconnected databases - "GCM" and "Fedora3." The GCM's collection is now currently being maintained and preserved in DSpace.
The DSpace catalog consists of two main subcommunities - the catalog and the project documentation. The catalog comprises nearly 3000 items: agents, software, texts, and physical objects. Physical objects include such hardware as keyboards, hard drives, monitors, motherboards, and video cards, as well as some books, while software consists of various media and applications. Manuals, guides, photographs, articles, boxes, and papers compose textual materials; and names of individuals associated with the provenance of the materials are included in the agent collection. These collections reflect the extent of the GCM's holdings as well as its original intellectual arrangement.

In an unusually broad spectrum of essays, a distinguished group of international feminist scholars and activists explores the complexity of contemporary sexual politics around the globe. Using reproduction as an entry point in the study of social life and placing it at the center of social theory, the authors examine how cultures are produced, contested, and transformed as people imagine their collective future in the creation of the next generation.
The studies encompass a wide variety of subjects, from the impact of AIDS on reproduction in the United States to the aftereffects of Chernobyl on the Sami people in Norway and the impact of totalitarian abortion and birth control policies in Romania and China. The contributors use historical and comparative perspectives to illuminate the multiple and intersecting forms of power and resistance through which reproduction is given cultural weight and social form. They discuss the ways that seemingly distant influences shape and constrain local reproductive experiences such as the international flows of adoptive babies and childcare workers and the Victorian and imperial legacy of eugenics and family planning.
Book News Annotation:
Feminist scholars and activists explore contemporary sexual politics around the globe, using reproduction as an opening to investigate women's social life. The 23 essays consider the impact of AIDS in the US, Chernobyl among the Sami people of Scandinavian, totalitarian abortion and birth-control policies in Romania and China, and other conditions affecting the production of the next culture. No index.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
"Conceiving the New World Order promises to explore the consequences of making reproduction central to social theory in general, and it delivers on its promise abundantly. The feminist vision here is large, theoretically incisive, detailed, empirically deep, and politically inspiring. I will use these essays in teaching and research, but most of all in striving to inhabit the New World Order as a post-natal, born-again feminist."—Donna Haraway, University of California, Santa Cruz
"A stunning collection that shifts the anthropology of reproduction onto the terrain of power, where it belongs. Conceiving the New World Order not only redefines reproduction by linking the body to the body politic but also shows the value of careful historical, social, and cultural analysis of the connection between the local and the global. It has much to teach anyone who wants to know how pregnancy, parenting, birth control, population policies, demography, and the new reproductive technologies shape and are shaped by women and the world."—Lila Abu-Lughod, author of Writing Women's Worlds: Bedouin Stories

ROCHESTER, Minn. -- Mayo Clinic will receive $10 million in research funding from the European Union (EU) as part of a $220 million grant to its collaborator, the St. Anne's University Hospital in Brno, the Czech Republic. The overall award will be used to support clinical research and education at the International Clinical Research Center (ICRC) at St. Anne's and will focus initially on cardiovascular and neurological studies. Mayo's portion will support the collaboration in the United States. It is anticipated that because of the novel research involved, the center's work will advance medical research, education and patient care in Europe and beyond.
The ICRC-Mayo application for the EU funds received the highest rating on scientific quality of all entries and is believed to mark the first time a U.S. research institution has received a significant portion of a major EU medical research award, says Virend Somers, M.D., Ph.D., Mayo principal investigator in the collaboration and the center's international scientific director.
"This is the result of a long-term collaboration between us and our Czech colleagues, and we are excited to see it has gained such substantial support," Dr. Somers says. "The magnitude and scope of this grant indicates that the EU has recognized Brno and the Czech Republic as one of the emerging leaders in innovative medical research in Europe."
Part of the funding will pay for the center's expanding facilities, now under construction on the St. Anne's University Hospital campus in Brno, the second largest city in the Czech Republic. It also will support research collaborations with other medical centers across Europe.
"The ICRC will function much like the international space station," explains Tomas Kara, M.D., Ph.D., head of the ICRC and Brno's lead investigator on the grant, who trained at Mayo Clinic. "Fellow researchers will come from other countries to work together in the new center to solve p

Most antivirus programs identify bridge.dll as malware—for instance Microsoft identifies it as PWS:Win32/Briss or LoudMarketing.Bridge/WinFavorites (threat-c), and Kaspersky identifies it as Trojan-Spy.Win32.Briss.c or Trojan-Spy.Win32.Briss.i.
The free file information forum can help you find out how to remove it. If you have additional information about this file, please leave a comment or a suggestion for other users.
The process known as bridge Module appears to belong to software Bridge or bridge Module by unknown.
Description: Bridge.dll is not essential for Windows and will often cause problems. Bridge.dll is located in the C:\Windows\System32 folder (common is C:\windows\system32\ or C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\).
Known file sizes on Windows 8/7/XP are 69,632 bytes (95% of all occurrences) or 31,232 bytes.
This .dll file is a Browser Helper Object (BHO) that runs automatically every time you start your web browser. BHOs are not stopped by personal firewalls, because they are identified by the firewall as part of the browser itself. BHOs are often used by adware and spyware. IDs used by this BHO include 9C691A33-7DDA-4C2F-BE4C-C176083F35CF. The file is a file with no information about its developer. The software starts when Windows starts (see Registry key: MACHINE\Run). The file is not a Windows system file. The program is not visible. It is located in the Windows folder, but it is not a Windows core file. Bridge.dll is able to monitor web browsers. The service has no detailed description. Therefore the technical security rating is 79% dangerous; however you should also read the user reviews.
It is possible to remove the entire program Bridge using Windows Control Panel.
Recommended: Identify bridge.dll related errors
If bridge.dll is located in a subfolder of C:\Windows, the security rating is 53% dangerous. The file size is 57,344 bytes. There is no information about the author of the file. The software is loaded during the Windows boot process (see Registry key: MACHINE\Run). It is not a Windows system file.
External information from Tony Klein:
Important: You should check the bridge.dll process on your PC to see if it is a threat. We recommend Security Task Manager for verifying your computer's security. This was one of the Top Download Picks of The Washington Post and PC World.
Summary: Average user rating of bridge.dll: based on 62 votes with 9 reviews. 7 users think bridge.dll is essential for Windows or an installed application. One user thinks it's probably harmless. 12 users think it's neither essential nor dangerous. 16 users suspect danger. 26 users think bridge.dll is dangerous and recommend removing it. 10 users don't grade bridge.dll ("not sure about it").
A clean and tidy computer is the key requirement for avoiding problems with bridge. This means running a scan for malware, cleaning your hard drive using cleanmgr and sfc /scannow, uninstalling programs that you no longer need, checking for Autostart programs (using msconfig) and enabling Windows' Automatic Update. Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.
Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time. Use the resmon command to identify the processes that are causing your problem. Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off doing a repair of your installation, or in the case of Windows 8, executing the DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command. This allows you to repair the operating system without losing data.
To help you analyze the bridge.dll process on your computer, the following programs have proven to be helpful: Security Task Manager displays all running Windows tasks, including embedded hidden processes, such as keyboard and browser monitoring or Autostart entries. A unique security risk rating indicates the likelihood of the process being potential spyware, malware or a Trojan. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware detects and removes sleeping spyware, adware, Trojans, keyloggers, malware and trackers from your hard drive.

So much more
I am very spontaneous almost to a fault, that's probably because my ability to plan social activities well in advance can be a struggle at times. I totally believe in taking care of myself and exercising, for my match that is a must. If you can't take care of yourself, how are you going to take care of anybody else? I play and coach almost all sports, never met an athletic field or court that I didn't feel at home on. I have been described as tall, confident, and a little cocky at times. I truly enjoy my own company. My sarcastic side comes out all the time, and yes I have been known to be a smart ass on occasion, it goes along with my dry sense of humor. But I can take it as well as dish it out as long as it's is all in fun. Please if you are a drama queen or you are still hung up on your past relationship have a heart and please pass me by. And on the pictures, It's really hard to respond to someone without a face pic and a body shot. You know us guys are visual creatures. And if you are looking for a guy that's into tattoos or Harley's, I am not your guy. I prefer not to advertise my mid - life crisis. I really do love kids so if you have some, terrific! I have an awesome 9 year old son that lights up my world, yes a 9 old at my age. He keeps me youthful, and I can keep up with him. Well, almost. I have seen some of the world but I am ready to see a lot more of it. Care to join me? Would you like aisle or window? I also love camping as long as it is at the Marriott. Great camping must have room service! As far as my match, she must be honest and sincere. Along with unselfish and kind. I yes can offer those things in return. I am not looking for some perfect woman, there is no such thing. That's good though, because I have lots of flaws myself. I am a firm believer in the 50/50 rule, I can promise you I can hold up my end of that bargain. Not looking for a big partier or a smoker. If you can't have a good time without getting wasted, please move on. I like a good rush but not out of bottle. I need a woman that will help calm me down and will put me first just once in while. A woman that can be humble and admit her own faults and yet still have confidence in herself is my idea of a great woman. And trust me that is rare. Let's face it, women like men that are confident, right ladies? For me, that works both ways. Besides I need someone around that can challenge me every now and then. I mean really? Who wants someone that agrees with you all the time? You will rarely have to ask me how I am feeling because I actually communicate! Go figure. But I can tell you if you treat me well, I will always have your back. So stop sitting around and stressing out about things you can't control and just relax. I love great quotes: "Tough times don't last, tough people do". Anonymous Thanks for dropping by my profile, if you have read this far, you gotta be a little crazy so I would love to hear from you.

3.0 out of 5 stars For the fans....
It's good to see Patti Smith releasing the same time as Blondie. There are a ton of bands that have been inspired by them. Some of Patti Smith's records in the past ten years have been uneven affairs. Smith supposedly signed to Columbia on the same day as Arthur Rimbaud's birthday. It's good to see that she has refused to have any new influences. When Smith started, the...

I am not a Patti Smith fan and only listened to HORSES once or twice in my twenties. After reading MOJO's review of TRAMPIN', I gave the album a shot, but wasn't prepared for such a powerful, eloquent performance.
Like BORN TO RUN, DARK SIDE OF THE MOON and BLONDE ON BLONDE, it's no stretch to call this an historic issue for many reasons. The songs are consistently well-crafted. A pity the moguls at Sony failed to include lyrics in the package since the words are so potent and evocative. The opener, JUBILEE, is especially lyrical and showcases a powerful, burnished voice that fits the music like a glove.
Unlike most albums, great thought was given to the sequence of songs -- which range from pensive to explosive. By the time RADIO BAGHDAD bursts through your system, the voice, the music, the production itself, will take your breath away. GANDHI, in particular, will become an underground classic. Indeed, it's been going 'round and 'round in my head since I first heard it.
Technically, it's been years since I heard a band recorded with such nuance. All the pieces are well-defined. The dynamic range of the recording is awesome, and the voice is placed exactly where it should be. Audiophiles will put this CD in their demonstration rack, but so will those who believe rock is a life-force and a potent political art form, too.
Nothing I've heard in the past five years approaches the quality of this release. I'm now a Patti Smith fan at the grand age of 52, and plan to buy a copy of HORSES this weekend. TRAMPIN' reminds us that in the cesspool of the American record industry -- in which 90% of new rock releases are throwaway -- some smart producers (in this case, Patti Smith and her band) may turn your head around.
We're living through a terribly dark time in 2004, and this beautifully crafted album is a burst of light.
Five huge, freakin' stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars Yeah, she's still got it.,
Virgil "Virgil" (Seattle) - See all my reviews
Listening to Trampin' I can't help but think how little Patti Smith has changed- in the good ways. Her voice sounds the same as it did when I was first introduced to her on Horses [now of course she has her daughter accompanying her on piano]. What she is now is more political I think then ever before. Her lyrics are as intelligent as ever and her anger on songs such as Radio Baghdad drive her on.
One note about the song Radio Baghdad. Someone posted that it was treason. I was called up for the Iraq War and was in Bagdad and Iraq for most of last year- I don't brand her a traitor or treasonous. I also find it a very powerful song and can't believe it hasn't found a bigger audience.
If you like Patti Smith you'll like Trampin'. If you've never heard her, be prepared for some of the most intelligent and deeply felt music made in quite a while.
5.0 out of 5 stars Prophetic, Visionary, Tough, Beautiful. Music to hope by.,
By A Customer
I listen to a lot of music, music of all kinds, but this is something special. This disc has guts and beauty, politics and spirituality, kick-ass, punk-edged rock and roll, vast and ambitious historical meditations and drama, straight-out essence of gospel, and an overall lyricism that is just stunning. Its essential hopefulness shatters the gloom of this American year, and opens a way forward. The first track, Jubilee ("Jubilee, Oh my land...Be a jubilee"), makes an anthem of this Biblical, Hebrew word, and you know immediately that you are in for something big, something prophetic, something almost inhumanly (but very humanly) hopeful. This is visionary stuff. If you are like me, you will be stunned by the truthfulness of "Radio Baghdad," and nearly moved to tears of joy and hope when "Trampin" follows and closes the album. And you will probably play "In My Blakean Year" more times than you can remember playing any other recent song. No music has been able to reach the sorrow and rage I have felt at the facts that Americans were torturing prisoners in Iraq and that the deliberate erosion of human rights and the justifications of torture came from the highest levels of our government. Until Patti Smith's TRAMPIN'. It has converted that sorrow and rage into hopeful determination. It has shaken me out of the gloom and reminded me that a hopeful vision of a better way is the best antidote to what looks like the triumph of evil. The last words of the last track sum it up: "I'm tryin' to make heaven my home." But the anger and the sweetness and the sorrow and the hope and the irrepressible determination of this music have to be heard to be understood. This music is convincing. Sorry to gush, but sometimes you just have to say how it hits you.
5.0 out of 5 stars Awake from your slumber !!,
By A Customer
Patti Smith pulls it off!! Surely right up there with 'Easter' and 'Horses', this is a great album. Gandhi and Radio Baghdad are Patti at her best, with the band playing like there's no tomorrow. Lenny Kaye is in fine form, but the whole band is very solid, and to top it all off, Patti really has something to say, truly written in the style of an accomplished poet. And, suprisingly, the years have been kind to her voice. While sounding beautiful on songs like 'Mother Rose', she still has 'the growl', which is in full force more than once on this album. After repeated listenings, it just keeps getting better, and I liked Trampin' the first time I heard it.
As other reviewers have mentioned, the liner notes are almost non existant, however it is mentioned that 'Trampin' and 'Gandhi' were recorded live in the studio. Most bands would need massive overdubs to get the sound of 'Gandhi'. Quite a testament to the band, considering Patti and the band produced the album as well. Why in the world Columbia chose not to print the lyrics is beyond me, however they are available at pattismith.net, and well worth reading.
5.0 out of 5 stars POWERFUL, INTENSE, EXCEPTIONAL, RESONATING SUPREME ROCK,
Hugo (HOUSTON, TEXAS United States) - See all my reviews
PATTI SMITH has never jeapordized her artistic integrety by following or 'giving in' to whatever current musical trends may be happening in whatever decade she finds herself recording her supreme and genuinely unique style of Rock And Roll, which keeps her standing tall, shoulder to shoulder, neck to neck to high profile and acclaimed rock'n writin' interpreters such as Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Pete Townshend, and the late Curt Cobain, yet, too often she blows them all away with her compellingly dark compositions interpreted best only by her own stylistic vocal interpretations. She remains the quintessential female rock poet, three decades on! No other female singer-songwriter has ever dared to talk & walk the walk of the holy and unholy ground PATTI SMITH has found herself TRAMPIN' upon, and much less have they had the balls to convey their message upon humanity as only Patti has valiantly done! She triumphs beyond expectations even in her most subtle and sensitive works. "TRAMPIN'" addresses the current worldwide human condition in its pre-WWIII state with a sweeping sense of lyrical and melodic creativity that chills and haunts the listener down to the bone. Amazingly, PATTI SMITH's "TRAMPIN'" easily becomes her most radio friendly project ever, from start to finish, in her 30 year recording career.
5.0 out of 5 stars Carry Patti and band home,
Tankery "Tankery" (New Orleans) - See all my reviews
Patti Smith, Poet Laureate of Punk , is back with a great album. I think her best album. Well, at least since Dream of Life-which I wore out back then.
The album starts out with a jubilant celebration of a patented Patti Smith and band rocker called "Jubilee" and then never lets up. The grooves and guitar work early in the album deliciously remind me of a bit slower-paced Jim Carroll Band with its raggedy, sparse, hard-driving punk guitar and downright nihilistic drumwork.(Jim Carroll and Patti are brother and sister, aren't they? And PJ Harvey is their offspring? I guess that's all rumor...)
On this album I don't think Patti has ever written with such introspection and melody. Take the song "Trespasses." This gospel-tinged gorgeously written tune could easily be sung by the thousands of fluff-chick country diva's out there, but Patti and band make it sound like the first song Loretta Lynn might sing after she'd been shackled in the basement of CBGB's for twenty years. Same goes for the title song, "Trampin'." It borrows heavily from the...for to carry me ho-ome....gospel song, but Patti makes it all her own.
Usually when lesser artists reach with such pretentious titles like "My Blakean Year"- you expect a half-baked allusion or two, but when Patti does it you don't even question it, you just bow down, listen, and appreciate.
And who else today is writing about Gandi? How out of fashion is that, America.
Which gets to the12-minute epic, "Radio Baghdad." Now I've had as much problem as anyone with artists reciting poetry through some half-baked musical lilt on their albums, it's sort of like a music/poetry bait and switch, it seems, as music is about rhythm, and sudden jolts into spoken word are usually intrusive. Especially after the first listen. But Patti Smith has got it right on "Radio Baghdad." Her spoken word leads into a massive wave of hard-driving guitars and crescendo musically as well as lyrically throughout this incredible diatribe of Iraq and America's devastation there (Its goose bump time when Patti starts yelling "Shock and Awe!") It is one of her finest moments and it would be great to see her perform it.
Trampin' is a reason to believe in poetry and music.
5.0 out of 5 stars Blistering and brilliant,
A. Hogan (Brooklyn, NY USA) - See all my reviews
There was a time when rock had an edge, a political one. When being a poet meant being able to rhyme other words then duck or itch. When poets stood ,jaws clenched againt what they saw as wrong. Patti smith is the last of such giants.Trampin' is her vehicle, and it is outstanding. Jubilee sets the stage for what is to come{I think Jubilee was the working title for this album for awhile]Its imagery is an attempt tohelppeople remember who they were on september 10th,2001. the entire album seems to be a cry against the general tone of the country since that day.Gandhi and radio Baghdad could have come straight off Horses or radio ethiopia,for that matter.My Blakean year, which she must have been writing her entire adult life, is a wonderful summation of her art and vision:"In my Blakean year
I was so disposed
Toward a mission yet unclear
Advancing pole by pole
Fortune breathed into my ear
Mouthed a simple ode
One road is paved in gold
One road is just a road
In my Blakean year
Such a woeful schism
The pain of our existence
Was not as I envisioned
Boots that trudged from track to track
Worn down to the sole
One road is paved in gold
One road is just a road
Boots that tread from track to track
Worn down to the sole
One road is paved in gold
One road is just a road
In my Blakean year
Temptation but a hiss
Just a shallow spear
Robed in cowardice
Brace yourself for bitter flack
For a life sublime
A labyrinth of riches
Never shall unwind
The threads that bind the pilgrim's sack
Are stitched into the Blakean back
So throw off your stupid cloak
Embrace all that you fear
For joy will conquer all despair
In my Blakean year"...
The album final track, the spiritual Trampin' Patti smith is accompanied only by her daughter on piano,leaves one feeling upbeat,hopeful,prayerful,as any good spiritual should and does. Patti smith is "An american artist"... in her own words, as archetypal as Whitman or Pollock or Coltrane.This recording, then, may well be her masterpiece. A++++++++
4.0 out of 5 stars Terrific Record,

It all comes down to this: it's positively great to hear from Patti Smith again and she is definitely on fire throughout this disc. If you're a fan, you'll love it, if you are new to her, all her strengths are on display. By sheer accident of the time of their emergence, Smith is often mentioned in a similar breaths with Springsteen. Pity, as she's got a lot more to say with a great deal more conviction than the lovesick car mechanic from the Jersey shore.
But while we are on analogies, there is that undeniable chemistry that Smith has with her band that is as on the money as Springsteen with E Street, Young with Crazy Horse, Hound Dog Taylor and the Housebreakers: rarely would you consider them the best at their craft, but jeez o man the sparks fly. A bit of editing would have helped both "Gandhi" and "Radio Baghdad", but she has quite a point to make with both songs, and whether you ascribe to her values are not, she delivers them with such a commitment and intelligence that they deserve consideration. I'd have like to hear her include her take on the Declaration of Independence from her recent show in Philly. It was a show stopping political screed that burned with a firem and roused the choir to its feet in an otherwise pious Quaker schooled crowd. Smith grabs you by the short hairs and you gotta sit up and listen. Anyway, the Cd as delivered here is magnificent. "My Blakean Year" stands as one of her best compositions. "Cartwheels", "Peaceable Kingdom" and "Trampin" you'll return to often. Let's hope that not so much time goes by to her next effort, and perhaps she'll tour some more as well. She is what the times need.
5.0 out of 5 stars Lion And Lamb Unite,

I'll never forget listening to Horses for the first. Now comes Trampin' and I'm having chills run up my spine. This selection of songs radiate with brilliance. Pulling from all different types of music and all different types of faith they swirl into a converging spiral leaving the mind buzzing with a new found energy to conquer the oppression of evil. This thematic piece surpasses Pink Floyd's The Wall or The Who's Tommy because instead of fiction it's fact. Like Woodward and Bernstein Patti has unearthed the evil of this world and like Martin Luther King she's ready to lead us into the free world. This album is not for the light hearted. It is as deep as the ocean with an abundant supply of hidden treasures waiting to be unearthed. It's hard to separate the songs for they all flow into each other like the patches in a quilt. Just remember to have an open mind and think about it. Bless you Patti Smith you've come into the light.
4.0 out of 5 stars Smith remains consistent,
R. Hansen (Campbell, CA United States) - See all my reviews
Another excellent outing from Patti Smith. Once again enigmatic, beautiful lyrics, and some great riffs from Lenny Kaye. Though "Radio Bahgdad" is passionate it is specious and historically naive. Okay Mesopotamia was the cradle of civilization; so anything that happens there now is sacred? Yes the ancient folk of that land contrbuted a vast amount to our present culture, but what's Patti's point? The lightbulb was invented in the US but I don't recall her writing a lament when the World Trade center was knocked down. Break open a history book before you start trying to portray Bahgdad as the center of peace too Patti. Blood has flown freely from that land long before American troops arrived. And BTW- in that part of the world you would have been stoned long ago for blaspemy. Something to maybe mention to balance out your one-sided glorifications. But hey the album rocks.

Product description
Of course, we are entirely dependent on plants for our food and the air we breathe, but did you know that 5,000 mature English oak trees were used in the construction of Admiral Nelson's flagship HMS Victory, or that sweet peas were involved in the birth of the science of genetics? King Cotton was the driver of the slave trade, which was the first domino to fall in the American Revolution, and cotton was also the catalyst for the Industrial Revolution. These, and many other extraordinary facts in Fifty Plants that Changed the Course of History, highlight the dynamic ways in which plants have influenced human history. This beautifully designed and illustrated volume provides an engaging guide to the fifty key plants that have had the most impact on human history. Packed full of information, the book includes details about the habitat and characteristics of each plant, fact boxes, full colour photographs and lovely botanical illustrations. Weaving together strands of economic, political and agricultural history, each entry is a fascinating look at the most influential plants known to mankind.

A new look at digital opportunities
The outdoor furnishings and grill industries have been experiencing radical changes in recent years. Foot traffic is down in stores while online research continues to rise and smartphones are becoming more important to the consumer's shopping habits.

They encourage dealers to have an online presence and often direct consumers to local dealers. Some manufacturers are more active than others in social media efforts to enhance their brand to ...

Do outdoor kitchens affect how customers buy grills?
Dear Grill Guy, I'm seeing more customers walk in my door with questions about designing/decorating their outdoor living space. Sometimes this includes questions about grills, but not always. How can I use these conversations as an opportunity to steer people toward a grill? To be effective in selling grills to consumers, you first have to take a step back and understand their passion. Not everyone's passion will be grills and that's OK. There are inroads you can traverse to arrive at your sale destination. Let's say you're talking to "pool guy." We all know ... More

Technological developments have sparked a wave of new types of crime and a 30% hike in recorded online fraud is just the "tip of the iceberg", Yvette Cooper will warn.
But fears about abuse of information in the wake of leaks by former US security contractor Edward Snowden, which revealed widespread spying by government listening post GCHQ, means new safeguards are needed to protect privacy.
Controversial plans by Home Secretary Theresa May to enable the police and security services to track emails and other online communications under a "snooper's charter" were blocked by the Liberal Democrats.
Ms Cooper will warn the Government it must not "bury its head in the sand" as she calls for reforms to keep up with the ever-changing cyber world.
Much stricter controls over access to private data must be introduced to give the public confidence amid fears about the way information can currently be accessed and used, she will say.
In a speech in central London to the Demos think-tank, Ms Cooper will call for a new national strategy for tackling online fraud, tougher action to tackle online child pornography and an overhaul of parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee.

To enable such a handset compatible for all carriers, handset owners need to have them unlocked. The Unlocking Company provides cell phone unlocking services. "We have been providing online services for last seven years with sincerity and integrity. Almost all leading cell phone brands come under our service coverage," said Mr. John Michael, the CEO of The Unlocking Company (www.theunlockingcompany.com/)
To avail of the mobile phone unlocking service from this company, handset owners have to go to its site where they are to enter relevant information, pay the price and get the unlocking job done almost instantly. "We charge very nominally. Compare the charges with others," challenged the CEO.

What is considered too fat for you men??
Guys what do you prefer? Skinny - 100 - 115 pounds Medium - 120 - 130 pounds Large - 150 180 pounds Please elaborate in why you like your women... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Some guys will tell you that weight matters, but they just don't know how to tell you what they mean by that. Ultimately, don't concern yourself with the number, because it doesn't mean anything.
What guys look for is how she carries herself, if whatever weight she has suits her, and if she is pretty either way. I have seen some full figured women that I find very unattractive, and very frequently, I find full figured women who are hotter than some of their skinny counterparts.
Don't kill yourself over skinny vs. chubby, that's missing the point. What matters is how the weight looks on you, and how you wear/carry yourself.
Lemme add that I would not be disappointed to be with a chubby, but still beautiful and classy girl. Pretty is pretty.
totally agree!
What Guys Said 23
Depends on other factors. You can't determine it by weight alone. To a girl who's 5'10" or has denser bones, 100-115 lbs isn't skinny, its sickly and malnourished.
For the record I like women of all sizes, but my ideal woman is tall--about as tall as me (at 5'11") give or take, I would expect a healthy and active woman of that height to be in anywhere from 140-180 lbs unless she had a small/thin frame or little to no muscle mass.
Thank you very much! ^.^
Lol, read my answer.
You explained it quite well. :P
If the guy is trying to be realistic, it all depends on the built of the guy too. For me, since I am not too big, not too smal, and yet on the saller side, I would definitely go with Medium because generally that kind of girl would be in the 5'2" to 5'5" range and I love that. With that height range, everything about the girl looks good.
What height should I imagine? It's kinda relevant here.
'Average' would not be a helpful answer.
Let's say a woman who is 5'7
I don't have a very strong weight preference, weight-wise my requirements are mostly limited to 'looks healthy' :D. Anything between the upper limit of 'skinny' and the lower limit of 'large' would probably 'qualify' automatically, and so would many girls who are slightly lighter or heavier than that, on a case-by-case basis :p
i like them tall I like the small I love them all
but id prefer a women who is active and takes care of her body
and some where in between skinny and medium
but to be honest its also in the way they make me feel
cause if she's a skinny bitch
id ask her why so angry bitch? ha ha but maybe break it to her nicely with a babe in the begining
because all women are good
they just have to treat you as good as you do them, and personality and what not
First of all I'd like to comment on some oversights concerning the methodology with which you collect data. The hypothetical figures , however accurate on the average 1.70 woman might seem, exclude all women bellow or over that height.
now, to answer your question, some excess fat (about 3-5 kg or 6-10pounds, given that the conversion from metric to UK figures is correct) to the commonly accepted average weight used to be perceived as a sign of fertility (before the fashion industry , incapable as it is to see the beauty in a healthy human body). Thus , intuitively, I "prefer" the 130-140 / 1.70m girl
What Girls Said 20
it's not the weight that counts..it's how you carry it. ie: really fit girls with amazing bodies might be ilke 140 pounds, because its muscle, etc.
This is very true. I am 5 3", 138 lbs, size 4, very fit, and have never been called fat. Most people cringe at my weight, but I put most of it in my bra and other good places. Never ever had a guy complain, and try not to worry about the scale. Society wants us all to think we need to look like Kate Moss. I say bull sh*t, eat cake and live.
Why would people cringe at your weight? that makes no since.
Luciaa, you're pretty lucky. I'm also 5'3'' and a size 3ish but I weigh about 110 and ANYTIME I gain weight it inflates my thighs and hence jean size. None of it everrr goes in my bra or "other good places". It really does just show that weight is more about how you wear it.
How the weight distributes depends on the height too - you can't just say that 100lbs is skinny - because it's pretty much the normal size for girls below 5'2. However, someone 6 foot tall may weigh a 150lbs and still appear skinny, because of how tall they are.
I am saying in general....
If 100 pounds is normal for 5'2 I better lose 50 pounds! Haha no, actually I looked anorexic at 115 pounds.
Why is 115 in the skinny range?
If I were 115 I'd be anorexic and my body would be shutting down. Taller girls weigh more. End of story. I know some girls who are 115 and are little porkers while tall girls at 155 are are skin and bones.
You're kind of being dramatic. Or hsve you actually been 115 with your body shutting down & how tall are you 6 ft? I'm 85- 95 I've been that & less since I was 11 & I'm no where near shutting down. I have a very active life and lots of energy.
Eye-roll. Then another one.
Did you accidentally "forget" that there's tall girls out there? Such as, well, me?
I have no trouble saying I weigh 140 pounds. And I'm skinny.
Hmmm ... how can that be?
The question was meant for guys, hun...
They seem to be saying the same thing though, me dear. :)
I'm 27. 5'6. Go the gym 2-3 days a week and do 15 mins cardio and 45 minutes weight training. My bust is 34 inches (32D). Waist 27 inches. Hips 37 inches. Thigh 22 inches. My weight is 9 stone 7 (133 pounds) I'm a typical size 10. I do not consider myself fat.
Dependent upon what your body consists of e. g. how much muscle and how much fat etc will depend on how it looks.
I typed in 25% body fat to see if I was (I'm more like 22.5) this was just out of curiosity.
It also pulled up pictures of what 15% body fat looks like on 2 different women. One is a body builder and the other what some would describe as skinny. Basically weight as a number is totally irrelevant without the other information such as body fat %, muscle %, water %.
Also in the UK the average size is a size 16 and height 5'3. I would personally consider this to be fat.
Bearing in mind there are plenty of girls both bigger and smaller than the above as that is the average.
Hope this helps :)
It depends on height. I'll use my height as an example
I'm 5'6
Skinny 100-110
Normal 111-115
Fat >115
What?! lol I dated a girl recently who weighed 120lbs, and she was 5'0". She was f***ing gorgeous/hot, and not fat in the least bit. I had to be careful around other guys with her, she was so pretty. Give yourself a break :)
- Show Older Hide Older
Im 5'6 and I weigh more than that and I'm not fat
Evangelina, is that you? You seem as brainwashed...
yeah it does depend on the women and how they carry the weight.
I mean I had a friend who was probably in the Large size and she is beautiful and gets a lot of guys. I am in the Medium range but I wear my clothes a certain way that makes me look attractive. Also I think it depends on your height too. You didn't specify that. A person could be like 5'9 and be 120 and that's super skinny.
Have an opinion?

If you have had Ray Rice on your fantasy team during any of the past four years, you have likely been pretty pleased with the results.He has averaged 1,877 yards and nearly 10 scores per year over that time span. While these numbers have fantasy drafters taking him as one of the first players selected, there are a few reasons why Rice should be avoided in the first round of standard drafts all together.Downward SpiralThe first of those reasons is a simple trend-line in his production. For the past three seasons he has gone from 308 carries, to 291, to only 257 carries last year.His saving grace has surely been the 60+ receptions he has had in each of those three years. After scoring 15 times in 2011, he was reduced to 10 touchdowns last year. In 2012 he racked up "only" 1,621 yards compared to an average of 1,963 yards for the previous three years.We will see later that the reduction in touches will continue and his yards per carry, which has also steadily dropped, will also be nega...

Yo Jordan, good start to your sketchbook.
Are these posted up in the order that you did them? Because I can see an improvement from the first to the last pic. At the start, it seemed as if you were looking at each part of the hand in isolation, drawing the outer line and then filling in details. By the end, it looked like you were looking at the hand as a complete object, which is better.
What you should try to do is not think of each part of the finger as independent, but look at intersections of planes. Ie, don't draw a palm, and then add fingers one by one - look at the entire hand, notice how each finger has sides, a top and bottom. Examine how when you move your fingers, you can still see paths following between all the parts on different fingers and planes. Most important, look at where sections intersect so you can keep everything in proportion. Jump all over the hand when drawing, comparing sections to whatever you're using as a model, always seeing where parts overlap or meet.
On the last page, the hand you did facing down with fingers spread is tops, more like that please. More dynamic shapes, flailing fingers. Push yourself!
Note me when you update, I'd like to see how you progress
