Since beating the Royals in a dramatic 3-2 win at the DW Stadium in November, Wigan have won only once in 13 league games and have slipped to second from bottom in the table.
Reading sit one place above the Latics and defeat at the Madejski Stadium tomorrow would leave Martinez's team at least five points from safety with 11 games to play.
Even with their track record of recovering from desperate situations over the past few seasons, things would look bleak.
However, Martinez is wary of hyping up tomorrow's match too much, saying: "We're working towards a points tally.
"I think sometimes you get carried away and you think this is a vital game and if you win you get three points, but that doesn't guarantee you'll achieve your aim.
"In the same manner, if you lose and then go unbeaten until the end of the season, you'll achieve your aim. It is an important game but what's more important is that we can be consistent. It is a vital game because it's one of 12 games left, nothing else."

I'm building a Node.js application on the express.js framework with CouchDB as a database. I'm utilizing CouchDB's session api for maintaining session state, and various databases for different sections of data.
On essentially every request my application code makes a request to Couch and then if there's an error (with Node) I can respond appropriately, by logging the error and redirecting to a 404 page or something like that. But if I get a CouchDB error, Node wouldn't consider it an error, it would consider that data. Now that's totally fine with me as long as CouchDB can only return this format:
"error": "illegal_database_name",
"reason": "Only lowercase characters (a-z), digits (0-9), and any of the characters _, $, (, ), +, -, and / are allowed. Must begin with a letter."
A JSON doc with two properties, error and reason. That's fine I can parse it and return the appropriate message; quite gracefully actually.
BUT! Is that all I can expect from CouchDB, or is there another way Couch might fail, that wouldn't yield a JSON doc with those two fields (properties)?

It's a challenging task to design a high performance modulation for satellite and space communications due to the limited power and bandwidth resource. Constant envelope modulation is an attractive scheme to be used in such cases for their needlessness of input power back-off about 2~3 dB for avoidance of nonlinear distortion induced by high power amplifier. The envelope of Feher quadrature phase shift keying (FQPSK) has a least fluctuation of 0.18 dB (quasi constant envelope) and can be further improved. This paper improves FQPSK by defining a set of new waveform functions, which changes FQPSK to be a strictly constant envelope modulation. The performance of the FQPSK adopting new wave- form is justified by analysis and simulation. The study results show that the novel FQPSK is immune to the impact of HPA and outperforms conventional FQPSK on bit error rate (BER) performance. The BER performance of this novel modulation is better than that of FQPSK by more than 0.5 dB at least and 2 dB at most.

Surf, As said in other ticket too, I am sorry that you feel that we have not been explicit regarding the service that we offer. We are quite clear and also above board with how people sign up to our services. We know that people would love to receive amazing products such as Hitsniffer for free, however, let me ask you this, is your food free, are your supplies free? I wish mine were all free, but this is the real world and certain services have to be paid for.
I just installed Hitsniffer on a site. If I would have known it wasn't free I wouldn't have bothered. Funny thing, if the dev would have been up front about it, and if the price is reasonable, I would pay. I have no idea how much the service costs, but I am uninstalling it now.

Something just scares me about a 240lb guy who can catch my ass in 40 yards! Ha. Yes, most sports are making some serious beasts. Just another reason why training for distance is not really applicable to sport performance. So the old days of the coach making the kids jog around the field are not going to lead to explosive and all state athletes (minus the naturally gifted ones of course).

I've been using Contact Form 7 for awhile and love it. However, it seems that the CAPTCHA security has been weak as of late. My site has been hit HARD with all kinds of spam for things ranging from porn, viagra, to even businesses trying to sling coffee beans.
Is there a way to increase the security level or upgrade the CAPTCHA to a version that is more powerful? I woke up this morning to my site being spammed with over 300 advertisements for viagra. :\

What is the simplest way to schedule a batch file to run on a remote machine using Hudson (latest and greatest version)? I was exploring the master slave setup. I created a dumb slave but I am not sure what the parameters should be so that I can trigger the batch file in the remote slave machine.
Basically, I am trying to run 2 different batch files on two different remote machines sequentially, triggered from my machine (the master). The Step by step guide on the Hudson website is a dead link. There are similar questions posted on SO but it does not quite work for me when I use the parameters they mention. If anyone has done something similar please suggest ways to make this work. (I know how to set up jobs, and add a step to run a batch file etc what I am having trouble configuring is doing this on a remote machine using hudson in built features)
Thank you all for the suggestions. Quick update on this: What I wanted to get done is partially working, below are the steps followed to get to it -
Created new Node from Manage Nodes -> New Node -> set # of Executors as 1, Remote FS root set as '/var/hudson', set Launch method as using JNLP, set slavename and saved.
Once slave was set up (from master machine), I logged into the Slave physical machine, I downloaded the _slave.jar from http://masterserver:port/jnlpJars/slave.jar, and ran the following from command line at the download location -> java -jar _slave.jar -jnlpUrl http://masterserver:port/computer/slavename/slave-agent.jnlp. The connection was made successfully.
Checked 'Restrict where this project can be run' in the Master job configuration, and set paramater as slavename.
Checked "Add Build Step" for adding my batch job script
What I am still missing now is a way to connect to 2 slaves from one job in sequence, is that possible?

Essentiale (polyenylphosphatidylcholine or PPC, with or without synergistic vitamins) is a preparation of essential phospholipids. Essentiale normalizes the metabolism of lipids and proteins, improves the detoxification function of the liver, restores the cellular structure of the liver and retards the producing of conjunctive tissue. Essentiale medications are indicated for the treatment of fatty degeneration of the liver, hepatitis (including toxic hepatitis, liver damage caused by medicines or alcohol abuse), cirrhosis of the liver, disturbances in liver function associated with different illnesses.[medical citation needed]
Pharmaceutical action[edit]
Phospholipids are essential structural components of all cellular membranes. Essential phospholipids (substance EPL) - are the complex substances of natural origin (ethers of cholinephosphoric acid (phosphatidylcholine) and unsaturated fatty acids (linoleic, linolenic, olein). Essentiale medications possess the membranotropic properties, metabolic and hepatoprotective action; regulates lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. Essential phospholipids increase functional status of the liver.
While the disturbance of the liver metabolism essential phospholipids ensure the entering the high energy phospholipids, which are ideally combined with the endogenous phospholipids. Under the Essentialle phospholipids influence clinical and biochemical liver indexes are improved.
Combination of Essentiale with cordiamin (nikethamide) and vitamin E (50 mg/kg for 35 days) considerably activates the mono-oxygenase, glucoro- and glutathione transferase systems of the liver: and as a result the free-radical processes became less intense.[1]
The spectrum of essential phospholipids' activity in chronic degenerative liver diseases can be described in the following properties:
- recovery and maintaining the consistency of the hepatocytes;
- activation of the phospholipid-depending ferments;
- improvement in the lipids metabolism caused by accelerated synthesis of lipoproteins in the liver;
- activation of synthesis RNA and as a result the normalization of the proteins metabolism;
- increased synthesis of glycogen in the liver;
- improvement in the detoxification function of the liver;
- the conversion of neutral fats and cholesterol into the easily metabolizing forms;
- decreased the fatty infiltration of the hepatocytes.
Common use[edit]
Essentiale is used to treat the following diseases:
- Hepatitis(acute and chronic), toxic hepatitis, medicinal and alcoholic hepatitis, poisonings. Hepatic steatosis of different aetiology(in 53.6% of patients the effect of six-month treatment with Essentiale forte was very good (improvement of all investigated parameters) [2]
diabetes(the data suggests that Essentiale protects and improves liver function in diabetic subjects with non alcoholic fatty liver[3] [3]) and chronic infections);
- Disturbance in liver function in somatic diseases;
- Hepatic cirrhosis;
- Necrosis of the liver cells, liver failure, liver coma;
- Pre- and Post- surgical treatment, especially in hepatobiliary area;
- Hyperlipoproteinemia, hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia;
- Diseases of the cardiovascular system: coronary heart disease, stable stenocardia,[4] post-infarction condition, disturbance of the cerebral and peripheral circulation, Hypertension, thrombembolia prophylaxis, atherosclerosis, diabetic angiopathy, thrombembolia prophylaxis and fat embolism(solution for injection);
- Digestive system diseases (chronic pancreatitis, gastric and duodenum ulcer;
- Toxicosis of pregnancy(edema, proteinuria и and blood pressure disorders);
- Radiation sickness (radiation syndrome);
- Psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, eczema;
- Pyelonephritis;[5]
- Prophylaxis of micromegaly;
Essentiale medications are manufactured under 4 trade names:
ESSENTIALE- solution for intravenous injections in vials 5 ml. Essentiale contains essential phospholipids(EPL substance) 250 mg, Pyridoxine chidrochloride 2,5 mg (Vitamin B6), Cyanocobolamine 0,1 mg (Vitamin B12), Sodium Pantothenate 1.5 mg, Nicotinamide 25 mg
ESSENTIALE FORTE N- Capsules N30 or N100. One capsule contains essential phospholipids (EPL substance) 300 mg.
ESSENTIALE N. -solution for intravenous injection in vials 5 ml. Essentiale N contains essential phospholipids(EPL substance) 250 mg.
ESSENTIALE FORTE – capsules N50. Essentiale forte contains essential phospholipids(EPL substance) 300 mg, Thiamine mono nitrate(Vitamin B1)6 mg, Riboflavine(Vitamiin B2) 6 mg, Pyridoxine chidrochloride 6 mg(Vitamin B6), Cyanocobolamine 0.06 mg (Vitamin B12), Nicotinamide 30 mg, Tocopherole acetate 6 mg(Vitamin E).
Contradiction and cautions[edit]
Do not use Essentiale in hypersensitivity or allergy to any ingredients of the preparation. The application of Essentiale in newborn children is not safe. During pregnancy women are recommended to consult their health care provider prior to taking Essentiale.[medical citation needed]
Side effects[edit]
In very rare cases it can cause :abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea and allergic reaction(skin rash).[medical citation needed]
Recommendation for storage[edit]
Capsules should be stored at temperature not more than 20 °C. Vials should be stored at 2° - 8 °C
Independent researches[edit]
According to research conducted by Bronx Veterans Affairs Medical Center and the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in 2003, phospholipids treatment did not affect progression of liver diseases in those who continued to drink heavily.[6]

Special Order
For twenty years, England and France have been at war. Now the war has come home
On a sunny July day in 1815, Plymouth Sound is crowded with boats vying for a view of England's great battleship HMS Bellerophon. For aboard the vessel is the stout little Frenchman who threw the world into chaos. In London, some people clamor for Napoleon's execution, others for his exile, and still others for a civil trial on English soil. For one humble London detective, the debate has turned deadly. Bow Street Runner Henry Morton has a murder to solve--and Napoleon himself is at the heart of the matter.
The victim is a Frenchwoman, the mistress of a count. Soon Morton is racing through a demimonde of French expatriates, Bonapartists, fanatical Royalists, and one very dangerous, drunken petty crook. From an exotic London brothel to a scene of carnage on a Dartmoor farm, the detective enters a covert war over Napoleon's fate. And amid the betrayal, deception, and murder, Morton will face a waterloo of his own.
About the Author
T.F. Banks lives in British Columbia, Canada, and is currently working on the second novel in the Bow Street Runner series.

I truly appreciate the help from the Jeffrey Fontana Memorial Scholarship because it will help me continue my path towards a career in law enforcement and it has motivated me even more knowing that there are other people that believe in helping students achieve a lifelong goal. Helping others is a major reason why I chose to pursue a career in law enforcement so it motivates me knowing there are people that believe in the students and who are willing to help us succeed.

Chinese Earthquake Caps Off Worst Week Ever
Really, it's enough.
As Boston celebrated last night, the week from Hell managed to end with one more tragedy: A 6.6 magnitude earthquake hit southwestern China's Sichuan province on Saturday. Right now, 156 people are said to be dead, and an estimated 5,500 are injured, making the earthquake the country's worst in three years. We're just hoping marathoner and West, Texas resident Joe Berti wasn't around.

The other party hasn't pressed charges First time in trouble
Criminal Defense Attorney
The "other party" does not have a choice about prosecution. It is up to the DA alone whether or not to "press charges".
You need an attorney.
The above is not intended as legal advice. The response does not constitute the creation of an attorney client relationship as this forum does not provide for a confidential communication.
Criminal Defense Attorney
If the potential charge is indeed an ADW/GBI then you can be sure it will be filed by the DA. The other party can only complain to the police; he cannot press charges.

...in the column on the right.
I was looking for a way to place contents (links/gifs) in the righthand-side column of my 3 column blog, and Root kindly gave me some advice in the "Once it's running"-forum. I've been looking into it, and have come up with this, by looking at the other code in the index-file:
I tried to put this in the index.php:

WordPressTop:

<?php get_WordpressTop(); ?>

And then I call them (sorry...don't even know if that is the right expression...I'm not "down with da lingo" yet) in the CSS-stylesheet right?!
I add a #WordpressTop to this list:

#calendar, #search, #archives {

and then

#WordpressTop{

top: 500px

}

Unfortunately I get the "message" below (in the right place, mind you!!) when I loaded the site:
Fatal error: Unknown function: get_wordpresstop() in /usr/home/whitehat_dk/users/android8/wordpress/index.php on line 97
I'm using the "Dots" stylesheet by Alex King by the way...
Thx in advance!!

Hello all,
I know registration is closed, but I have been consumed with college finals and such so I was unable to register. Also I am 10 days from shipping off to Marine Corps Boot Camp in San Diego, and the MCM will be my first major run as an enlisted Marine, so I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to let a future Marine get a bib to run?
It would be VERY much appreciated! I will pay up to $100 or so for the bib.
Thanks, and Semper Fi!
Richard Powell
You can get a bib through Finish for Kids. We are an official partner of the MCM. If you are interested check us out at http://www.finishforkids.org/ or if you have further questions or would like more information give us a call at 888-356-0299 or e-mail email@example.com.

Is there free OpenGL support libraries for C#? If so, which one do I use and where do I find sample projects ?
Does C# provide classes for OpenGL ?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
closed as off-topic by Colonel Thirty Two, Moshe Katz, karthik, Michael Petch, pwas Oct 30 '14 at 7:47
This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
OpenTK is an improvement over the Tao API, as it uses idiomatic C# style with overloading, strongly-typed enums, exceptions, and standard .NET types:
as opposed to Tao which merely mirrors the C API:
This makes for harder porting but is incredibly nice to use.
As a bonus it provides font rendering, texture loading, input handling, audio, math...
Update 18.1.2016: Today the OpenTK maintainer has stepped away from the project, leaving its future uncertain. The forums are filled with spam. The maintainer recommends moving to MonoGame or SDL2#.
Tao is supposed to be a nice framework.
From their site:
I think what @korona meant was since it's just a C API, you can consume it from C# directly with a heck of a lot of typing like this:
You unfortunately would need to do this for every single OpenGL function you call, and is basically what Tao has done for you.
SharpGL is a project that lets you use OpenGL in your Windows Forms or WPF applications.
So Olafur was faster. sighh
I would also recommend the Tao Framework. But one additional note:
Take a look at these tutorials: http://www.taumuon.co.uk/jabuka/
You can OpenGL without a wrapper and use it natively in C#. Just as Jeff Mc said, you would have to import all the functions you need with DllImport.
What he left out is having to create context before you can use any of the OpenGL functions. It's not hard, but there are few other not-so-intuitive DllImports that need to be done.
I have created an example C# project in VS2012 with almost the bare minimum necessary to get OpenGL running on Windows box. It only paints the window blue, but it should be enough to get you started. The example can be found at http://www.glinos-labs.org/?q=programming-opengl-csharp. Look for the No Wrapper example at the bottom.
What would you like these support libraries to do? Just using OpenGL from C# is simple enough and does not require any additional libraries afaik.
XNA 2.0 requires a minimum of a shader 1.1 card. While old tech, not everyone has one. Some newer laptops (in our experience Toshiba tablets with Intel graphics) have no shader 1.1 support. XNA simply wont run on these machines.
This is a significant issue for us and we have shifted to Tao and OpenGL. Plus with Tao we have bindings for audio & Lua support.
Concerning the (somewhat off topic I know but since it was brought up earlier) XNA vs OpenGL choice, it might be beneficial in several cases to go with OpenGL instead of XNA (and in other XNA instead of OpenGL...).
If you are going to run the applications on Linux or Mac using Mono, it might be a good choice to go with OpenGL. Also, which isn't so widely known I think, if you have customers that are going to run your applications in a Citrix environment, then DirectX/Direct3D/XNA won't be as economical a choice as OpenGL. The reason for this is that OpenGL applications can be co-hosted on a lesser number of servers (due to performance issues a single server cannot host an infinite number of application instances) than DirectX/XNA applications which demands dedicated virtual servers to run in hardware accelerated mode. Other requirements exists like supported graphics cards etc but I will keep to the XNA vs OpenGL issue. As an IT Architect, Software developer etc this will have to be considered before choosing between OpenGL and DirectX/XNA...
A side note is that WebGL is based on OpenGL ES3 afaik...
As a further note, these are not the only considerations, but they might make the choice easier for some...
When you're first tying down your platform to windows by choosing C# is there a reason for you not to use the XNA framework for graphics programming? Just curious.
Edit: A quick google search found me this tutorial on how to use Open GL in C# via the TAO framework:

Lynne Cox's Brave Swim Across the Frigid Bering Strait Breaks the Ice with the Russians
Her feat was the longest intentional cold-water ocean swim on record and a diplomatic triumph. Before she got to brave the waves and the strait's treacherous weather, Lynne had beaten down some Cold War political obstacles. The Soviets had not allowed Americans to set foot on the barren islet of Big Diomede since 1948. Cox's appeal to the Kremlin met with silence for more than a year until, days before the swim, the Soviets—in a burst of glasnost good-heartedness—gave permission.
As she began knifing through the water in her fast freestyle, Cox was in a race against time and the cold. She was not wearing a wet suit or a layer of lanolin, grease which might have attracted sharks, so she had to swim fast and finish before the ocean leached the heat from her heavily-muscled, 180-lb. body. "I was swimming faster than I ever swam before—really sprinting," she says. "I had to move as fast as I could to generate heat." She had swallowed an electronic thermosensitive capsule so doctors and scientists in one of two walrus-skin escort boats could make sure her temperature did not fall dangerously low. Unaware that Cox, raised in Los Alamitos, Calif., once held the record for the fastest crossing of the English Channel (9 hours, 36 minutes), local Eskimos were skeptical that she could beat the Bering. "I put my hand in the water every time we go out in the boat," remarked Percy Milligrock, an ivory carver. "It's cold. I think they'll have to pull her out."
Early on, Lynne met another doubter, a spotted seal, who studied her intently. Cox laughed to herself: "I could see he was wondering 'What's she doing here?' " Soon enough, she had stopped feeling cheerful. After battling an icy two-knot tide for 90 minutes, her toes had gone numb and her hands were in constant, stinging pain. The shore of Big Diomede was only 50 yards away, but the water temperature had dropped to 38°F and the current was picking up. "The sea was like a washing machine, churning up the cold water from below," says Cox. "I said to myself, 'God, what happens if the current sweeps me back out to sea? With the fatigue and the cold I won't be able to fight it.' At that point, I was afraid I wouldn't finish. I didn't want to say how bad I felt," she admits.
Still, she kept swimming, paralleling the rocky coast for half a mile to reach the official landing site at the foot of a snowbank. Finally she staggered, blue and shivering, out of the breakers, to be engulfed by the kisses and applause of admiring Russians. But her ordeal was not quite over. Unaware that Cox's core body temperature was falling, the hospitable Russians held an impromptu press conference before leading her to a warming tent. "It was overwhelming on the snowbank," she says. "Microphones, people throwing towels, the realization that we'd made it—we were in the Soviet Union! But my legs were trembling and I felt I was going to fall down."
Once ensconced in a warming bag, Cox began to regain feeling in her limbs, while Soviets and Americans' gathered outside td celebrate her triumph. Cox was elated. She had completed another punishing swim, but it was that unaccustomed image of U.S.-Soviet harmony that would linger longest. "It was one of those rare occasions in life when things turn out better than you ever imagined," she said. "And I could see from the eyes of the Russians that it was special for them too."

Other Olympians at the party included Helen Glover, the rower who won Team GB's first gold at the games, and gold medal-winning shooter Peter Wilson.
Off to Buckingham palace for lunch with lizzie! #corgies #crownjewles twitter.com/Helenglovergb/…— Helen Glover (@Helenglovergb) May 22, 2013
Swimmer Rebecca Adlington, two-time Olympic gold medallist and double bronze medal winner at the London Games, joked that the garden party was almost the "last hurrah" for the Olympics.
Adlington, who has met the Queen on many occasions, said: "I've never been to the garden party before - it feels like we are milking it quite a lot!
"This is the last hurrah almost for the games."
The now-retired swimmer joked that she was enjoying the party as "I'll never get to come to this again".
The Duchess of Cambridge has got her finger on the fashion pulse as yellow is this season's hottest hue.
Finding decent maternity wear is no mean feat but the 31 year-old hasn't put a foot wrong in the style stakes and this striking dress-coat is one of her best looks yet.
Her ever-increasing bump was just visible below the flattering drop waist, tweed design.
And the hemline well above the knee showed off those perfectly toned pins.
Want to read more of our thoughts on Kate's look? Read Dinah Turner's fashion verdict here.
Aside from developing a taste for Duchy of Cornwall lavender shortbread and reportedly taking up yoga, mum-to-be Kate has been reluctant to change her lifestyle.
She is sticking to her famous tailored look, rather than the traditional maternity wear of previous pregnant royals.
The only noticeable difference in Kate's clothing so far is she has had to forego her favoured belted look, opting for a looser fitting style to accommodate her growing baby bump.
Kate is still managing on her heels and wore a pair of three-inch black court shoes on a visit to the Underground last week with a pair of black opaque tights.
We've put together a time line of Kate's pregnancy pictures, so you can go back and see the royal bump from the very beginning.
Kate accessorised her sunny dresscoat with a fascinator-style hat by Jane Corbett.
Ever the lover of recycling her wardrobe, Kate wore the same hat to last year's Order of the Garter parade.
Last year, she teamed it with an white Alexander McQueen dresscoat.
Kate has chosen a yellow Emilia Wickstead dresscoat for today's garden party.
The splash of sunny colour is just what was needed on a grey day in London.
There is a special blend of tea for the Queen's garden parties called 'Buckingham Palace Garden Party Tea'.
It's just as well considering guests are expected to drink more than 270,000 cups!
The garden party tea will also wash down 20,000 sandwiches and slices of cake.
Ever wondered what actually happens at garden parties at the palace?
The reception usually takes place between 4.00 pm and 6.00 pm, although the Palace gates are open from about 3.00 pm.
The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh, accompanied by other members of the Royal Family, enter the garden at 4.00 pm.
Once the royals have arrived, the National Anthem is played by one of the two military bands playing selections of music during the afternoon.
Also attending the garden party at Buckingham Palace are the world's longest married couple.
Karam Chand, 107, and and his wife Katari, 100, have been happily married for a staggering 87 years.
The couple have eight children and twenty eight grandchildren.
Mr Chand says the secret lies in their sense of humour.
He told the Daily Mail: "My trick is to make Katari laugh. I like to tell jokes and make her smile. Being funny is my way of being romantic."
Champion swimmers Rebecca Adlington and Katherine Wyld will be among the sports personalities at Buckingham Palace this afternoon.
Former Olympian Rebecca, 24, was appointed an OBE in the Queen's 2009 New Year's Honours.
Back down to London today for the Queens Garden Party at Buckingham Palace! Very excited and can't wait to see @kafwrine :-)— Rebecca Adlington (@BeckAdlington) May 22, 2013
Around 8,000 guests have been invited, including Olympians, Paralympians and officials from London 2012, and they will drink more than 270,000 cups of tea and eat 20,000 sandwiches and slices of cake.
After the playing of the national anthem at 4pm, the assorted royals mix with partygoers, each taking a separate route to ensure that as many people as possible can meet a royal.
The tradition of throwing open the royal residence dates back to the 1860s, when Queen Victoria held what was known as afternoon "breakfasts".
Pregnant Kate Middleton will join diplomats and dinner ladies for the Queen's summer garden party this afternoon.
The Duchess of Cambridge, who is around seven months pregnant, will attend the Buckingham Palace bash along with the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall, and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester.
The event is a highlight of the Queen's calendar and Kate attended her first garden party last year.
All eyes will be on Kate and her growing baby bump to see what fashion favourite she opts for this afternoon.

What, you may ask, is a biography of a famous race horse doing in the Discover program? Well, if you take a look at Seabiscuit -- a good look -- you'll understand.

The little horse, Seabiscuit, with his crooked legs and sad tail, was at first thought lazy, but with the help of a trinity of men -- his trainer, his owner, and a jockey -- would make racing history and find a place in the hearts of thousands of fans in Depression-era America. Laura Hillenbrand has done what only great writers can do: She has taken a story that in other, less capable hands would be fodder strictly for the racing crowd, and written as dramatic and informative a biography of a horse and of 1938 America as you'll find.

The faith of those Americans in the little horse with heart will awaken your own, and when you read Seabiscuit's racing scenes, even the most skeptical reader will find themselves jumping up and down, shouting at Seabiscuit to "Run!"

Laura Hillenbrand, author of the runaway phenomenon Unbroken, brilliantly re-creates a universal underdog story in this #1 New York Times bestseller.
BONUS: This edition contains a Seabiscuit discussion guide and an excerpt from Unbroken.
Seabiscuit was one of the most electrifying and popular attractions in sports history and the single biggest newsmaker in the world in 1938, receiving more coverage than FDR, Hitler, or Mussolini. But his success was a surprise to the racing establishment, which had written off the crooked-legged racehorse with the sad tail. Three men changed Seabiscuit's fortunes:
Charles Howard was a onetime bicycle repairman who introduced the automobile to the western United States and became an overnight millionaire. When he needed a trainer for his new racehorses, he hired Tom Smith, a mysterious mustang breaker from the Colorado plains. Smith urged Howard to buy Seabiscuit for a bargain-basement price, then hired as his jockey Red Pollard, a failed boxer who was blind in one eye, half-crippled, and prone to quoting passages from Ralph Waldo Emerson. Over four years, these unlikely partners survived a phenomenal run of bad fortune, conspiracy, and severe injury to transform Seabiscuit from a neurotic, pathologically indolent also-ran into an American sports icon.

Read an Excerpt
Charles Howard had the feel of a gigantic onrushing machine: You had to either climb on or leap out of the way. He would sweep into a room, working a cigarette in his fingers, and people would trail him like pilot fish. They couldn't help themselves. Fifty-eight years old in 1935, Howard was a tall, glowing man in a big suit and a very big Buick. But it wasn't his physical bearing that did it. He lived on a California ranch so huge that a man could take a wrong turn on it and be lost forever, but it wasn't his circumstances either. Nor was it that he spoke loud or long; the surprise of the man was his understatement, the quiet and kindly intimacy of his acquaintance. What drew people to him was something intangible, an air about him. There was a certain inevitability to Charles Howard, an urgency radiating from him that made people believe that the world was always going to bend to his wishes.
On an afternoon in 1903, long before the big cars and the ranch and all the money, Howard began his adulthood with only that air of destiny and
21 cents in his pocket. He sat in the swaying belly of a transcontinental train, snaking west from New York. He was twenty-six, handsome, gentle-manly, with a bounding imagination. Back then he had a lot more hair than anyone who knew him later would have guessed. Years in the saddles of military-school horses had taught him to carry his six-foot-one-inch frame straight up.
He was eastern born and bred, but he had a westerner's restlessness.
He had tried to satisfy it by enlisting in the cavalry for the Spanish-American War, and though he became a skilled horseman, thanks to bad timing and dysentery he never got out of Camp Wheeler in Alabama. After his discharge, he got a job in New York as a bicycle mechanic, took up competitive bicycle racing, got married, and had two sons. It seems to have been a good life, but the East stifled Howard. His mind never seemed to settle down. His ambitions had fixed upon the vast new America on the other side of the Rockies. That day in 1903 he couldn't resist the impulse anymore. He left everything he'd ever known behind, promised his wife
Fannie May he'd send for her soon, and got on the train.
He got off in San Francisco. His two dimes and a penny couldn't carry him far, but somehow he begged and borrowed enough money to open a little bicycle-repair shop on Van Ness Avenue downtown. He tinkered with the bikes and waited for something interesting to come his way.
It came in the form of a string of distressed-looking men who began appearing at his door. Eccentric souls with too much money in their pockets and far too much time on their hands, they had blown thick wads of cash on preposterous machines called automobiles. Some of them were feeling terribly sorry about it.
The horseless carriage was just arriving in San Francisco, and its debut was turning into one of those colorfully unmitigated disasters that bring misery to everyone but historians. Consumers were staying away from the
"devilish contraptions" in droves. The men who had invested in them were the subjects of cautionary tales, derision, and a fair measure of public loathing. In San Francisco in 1903, the horse and buggy was not going the way of the horse and buggy.
For good reason. The automobile, so sleekly efficient on paper, was in practice a civic menace, belching out exhaust, kicking up storms of dust,
becoming hopelessly mired in the most innocuous-looking puddles, tying up horse traffic, and raising an earsplitting cacophony that sent buggy horses fleeing. Incensed local lawmakers responded with monuments to legislative creativity. The laws of at least one town required automobile drivers to stop, get out, and fire off Roman candles every time horse-drawn vehicles came into view. Massachusetts tried and, fortunately, failed to mandate that cars be equipped with bells that would ring with each revo-
lution of the wheels. In some towns police were authorized to disable passing cars with ropes, chains, wires, and even bullets, so long as they took reasonable care to avoid gunning down the drivers. San Francisco didn't escape the legislative wave. Bitter local officials pushed through an ordinance banning automobiles from the Stanford campus and all tourist areas, effectively exiling them from the city.
Nor were these the only obstacles. The asking price for the cheapest automobile amounted to twice the $500 annual salary of the average citizen— some cost three times that much—and all that bought you was four wheels, a body, and an engine. "Accessories" like bumpers, carburetors,
and headlights had to be purchased separately. Just starting the thing,
through hand cranking, could land a man in traction. With no gas stations,
owners had to lug five-gallon fuel cans to local drugstores, filling them for
60 cents a gallon and hoping the pharmacist wouldn't substitute benzene for gasoline. Doctors warned women away from automobiles, fearing slow suffocation in noxious fumes. A few adventurous members of the gentler sex took to wearing ridiculous "windshield hats," watermelon-sized fabric balloons, equipped with little glass windows, that fit over the entire head,
leaving ample room for corpulent Victorian coiffures. Navigation was another nightmare. The first of San Francisco's road signs were only just being erected, hammered up by an enterprising insurance underwriter who hoped to win clients by posting directions into the countryside,
whose drivers retreated for automobile "picnic parties" held out of the view of angry townsfolk.
Finally, driving itself was something of a touch-and-go pursuit. The first automobiles imported to San Francisco had so little power that they rarely made it up the hills. The grade of Nineteenth Avenue was so daunting for the engines of the day that watching automobiles straining for the top became a local pastime. The automobiles' delicate constitutions and general faintheartedness soon became a source of scorn. One cartoon from the era depicted a wealthy couple standing on a roadside next to its dearly departed vehicle. The caption read, "The Idle Rich."
Where San Franciscans saw an urban nuisance, Charles Howard saw opportunity. Automobile-repair shops hadn't been created yet—and would have made little sense anyway as few were fool enough to buy a car.
Owners had no place to go when their cars expired. A bicycle repairman was the closest thing to an auto mechanic available, and Howard's shop was conveniently close to the neighborhoods of wealthy car owners.
Howard hadn't been in town long before the owners began showing up on his doorstep.
Howard had a weakness for lost causes. He accepted the challenge,
poked around in the cars, and figured out how to fix them. Soon he was showing up at the primitive automobile races held around the city. Before long, he was driving in them. The first American race, run around
Evanston, Illinois, had been held only eight years before, with the winning car ripping along at the dizzying average speed of seven and a half miles per hour. But by 1903, automotive horsepower had greatly improved—
one car averaged 65.3 mph in a cross-European race that season—making the races a good spectacle. It also made for astronomical casualty rates.
The European race, for one, turned into such a godawful bloodletting that it was ultimately halted due to "too many fatalities."
Howard was beginning to see these contraptions as the instrument of his ambition. Taking an audacious step, he booked a train east, got off in
Detroit, and somehow talked his way into a meeting with Will Durant,
chief of Buick Automobiles and future founder of General Motors.
Howard told Durant that he wanted to be a part of the industry, troubled though it was. Durant liked what he saw and hired him to set up dealerships and recruit dealers. Howard returned to San Francisco, opened the
Pioneer Motor Company on Buick's behalf, and hired a local man to manage it. But on a checkup visit, he was dismayed to find that the manager was focusing his sales effort not on Buicks but on ponderous Thomas Flyers. Howard went back to Detroit and told Durant that he could do better.
Durant was sold. Howard walked away with the Buick franchise for all of
San Francisco. It was 1905, and he was just twenty-eight years old.
Howard returned to San Francisco by train with three Buicks in tow.
By some accounts, he first housed his automobiles in the parlor of his old bicycle-repair shop on Van Ness Avenue before moving to a modest building on Golden Gate Avenue, half a block from Van Ness. He brought Fannie
May out to join him. With two young boys to feed, and two more soon to follow, Fannie May must have been alarmed by her husband's career choice. Two years had done little to pacify the San Franciscan hostility for the automobile. Howard failed to sell a single car.

I happened upon this book by mere coincidence and only read it to get in the good graces of my English teacher who was unleashing a vicious wrath on those who disagreed with her book choices. She handed it to me with high reccomendations. With my gradess at stake, I struggled to maintain focus during the first few pages of interminable facts, but soon fell in love with the gripping tale of a quiet trainer, a garralous owner, and horse with both character and a huge heart. You don't need to be an animal lover to enjoy this enthralling tale though it helps. While this reccomendation may not have moved you, I hope that you will give this wonderful book a chance as my ability in writing reviews, this being my first, does not in any way reflect the ability of Laura Hillenbrand's amazing story telling ability.
I loved Unbroken and read that first. I decided to go ahead and read this story even though it isn't my usual type of book. Wow. This book was just as good as Unbroken which is high praise. I cannot wait to see what her next project will be...
In Laura Hillenbrand's heartening tale one horse lifts the country as he races to unlikely victories. The novel tells the tale of Seabiscuit, a doubted horse that despite all of his setbacks, rises and becomes, arguably, the best race horse of the century. All adding a dash of depth, Hillenbrand, connects us to the characters of, Tom Smith the quiet and wise trainer, Red Pollard the blind battered jockey, and the owner; a charming self made man, Charles Howard. It is inevitable the personal connection made with all the characters, but the connection to Seabiscuit even makes non-horse lovers fall in love with his comedic and stubborn personality. Hillenbrand brilliantly intertwines the hardships and poverty of the country with the main theme of perseverance to overcome. Using imagery, Hillenbrand, portrays the toll that racing had on not only Seabiscuit, but also his main jockey Red. As the horse and jockey became more beaten throughout the story their importance, perseverance, and unbreakable bond only grew greater. The novel also yields the message of teamwork and the importance of taking risks. As the economy crashed Howard's growing business as a car repairman halted and he, like so many other Americans, questioned what to do. Following his interest in the dying sport of horse racing he purchased Seabiscuit, the son of Hardtack (a miraculous race horse). With the combination of Seabiscuit, Red Pollard, and Tom Smith, Charles Howard hoped victory would proceed. Working as a team the unlikely horse rose to greatness, demonstrating that risks and hard work are essential to the success of any feat large or small. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, with the exception of the small portion of dry writing in the beginning, and I would indefinitely recommend this book to someone. It tells an uplifting and touching story of perseverance, relationships, and victory, that anyone would enjoy reading. Other inspirational novels such as Secretariat and Man O' War would be great additional reads to Seabiscuit. In 1938 every stride Seabiscuit made towards victory captured the hearts of Americans and now through every page of this novel he is capturing more.
I will admit, I saw the movie first. However, this only made me enjoy the book more, for it is the amazing detail with which the author brings to life the story of Seabiscuit that makes it such a wonderful read. Yes, I cried. And I was in shock at reading of the horrors the jockeys would inflict upon themselves. Absorbing, wonderful...just wonderful. Some of the best written non-fiction out there.
LH did a wonderful job of putting all of this together. It keeps you in want of the next page throughout. Incredible story, very well told.
The truly awesome story of an amazing horse with some of the most intense racing scenes I've ever read. Also the story of the owner, Howard; the trainer, Tom Smith; and the jockey, Red Pollard - all odd balls in their own way. Very moving. Loved it.
After reading Unbroken, I was anxious to read another of Laura Hillenbrands books. Wasn't sure if I would enjoy it as much, but Seabiscuit was fabulous! I hated for it to end. The characters were well developed as were the racing events. Highly recommed it! Ms. Hillenbrand is a exceptionally gifted author. I pray that she will be able to bless us with more of her literary talents. Thank You Laura!
You can hear the hoofbeats and smell the sweat on every page. The movie is not enough!
Everything about this book is so good. I have seen the movie & now own a copy. This book about Howard, Smith, & Pollard and of course Seabisciut wants you to keep pulling for them all. Read this book even if you don't have a love for history, you won't regret it.
The book was slow to start, I felt like I had to read a 100 pg prologue to get to the story...Once I got to the story I just wanted to finish the book.
With all the relentless buzz surrounding the book and movie, I felt compelled to read the story of Seabiscuit, the plucky little horse who overcame adversity. He's a fascinating subject and author Laura Hillenbrand spares no small detail in her narration. In the end, I felt tired of the countless races and near victories. More editing would have helped the book. Sometimes less is more.
This book shows seabiscuts whole life! I found everything i need to know about him!
This was an inspiring book of the will, perseverance, heart and determination of a magnificent horse and the three man whose lives revolved around him during Depression-era America. It's a great book for anyone, not just horse-people. I found myself rooting for Seasbiscuit even when it seemed like he couldn't do it. My heart raced alongside Seabiscuit. The feats of this brave little horse and his fearless jockey were so incredible and unbelievable, and they earned a place in my heart
I did not like this book, and I am apparently alone here. Though the storyline intrigues me greatly, I found the style of writing to be quite similar to a textbook I might have had in grade school. I still plan on seeing the movie, but prefer to stick with books that provide a little more emotional insight than this one.
Laura Hillenbrand is the Tiger Woods of historical novelists. It makes you wonder why every novel can't be this good. Plagued by chronic fatigue syndrome and vertigo, Hillenbrand took to writing on her back with eyes closed, surrounding herself with food and supplies, researching and following up on detail after detail to create the one of the most enjoyable and historically accurate novels ever written. She paints a backdrop for her subject matter out of the grit of the 1930's with a colorful palette of unforgettable characters and locales including the account of a "dead" jockey who was sprung back to life by a shot of adrenaline and fought to get back on his horse for the next race! The popularity of Seabiscuit during the depression can be compared to the Beatles in the 60's. The hysteria and excitement created by this courageous champion of a horse jumps out of the pages and holds the reader hostage through each heart-stopping race. This is an adventure worth reliving again and again!
The story gave a very good insight in to what it took to reach the goal he obtained. It also gave a good account of what the jockeys had to do to train to be the excellent riders they were. Great Book
This is a great book to learn all about the horse,its owners,its trainer,its jockeys,and its fans!
In just a few short words, this book was awesome! A must read for any and all horse lovers!!
The unlikely story of a washed up racehorse and the three lost and broken men who came together and made him a champion. In the process, they give a Depression-weary America something to cheer about. Hands down the best book on horse racing ever, and one of the best books on thr Depression and the American experience as well. Don't miss it!!

Cast: Amber Peach, Katja Kassin, Seth Dickens, Anthony Hardwood, Brooke Haven, Aurora Snow, Georgia X, Bad Bob, Dulce (I), Dirty Harry
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
The fifth installment of Assploitations delivers some pretty decent filth for fans of women getting plugged in their dung chutes. Ms. Haven, clad in some kind of Carnaby Street chapeaux and a matching mesh body stocking, takes some ass spanking anal in a scene that's worth watching. The always-ass-inclined Katja Kassin takes on Seth Dickens and Dirty Harry (who is not the most appealing performer, visually. The guy looks like he should be a junior high school vice principal in the Midwest). Kassin sports a heavy mascara look, but once that rump is raised, her make up is of little concern.
