I threw my neck out in the middle of Swan Lake last night.
So begins the tale of Kate Crane, a soloist in a celebrated New York City ballet company who is struggling to keep her place in a very demanding world. At every turn she is haunted by her close relationship with her younger sister, Gwen, a fellow company dancer whose career quickly surpassed Kate's, but who has recently suffered a breakdown and returned home.
Alone for the first time in her life, Kate is anxious and full of guilt about the role she may have played in her sister's collapse. As we follow her on an insider tour of rehearsals, performances, and partners onstage and off, she confronts the tangle of love, jealousy, pride, and obsession that are beginning to fracture her own sanity. Funny, dark, intimate, and unflinchingly honest, The Cranes Dance is a book that pulls back the curtains to reveal the private lives of dancers and explores the complicated bond between sisters.
Editorial Reviews
"An engrossing novel about the cutthroat world of New York City ballet, without the hallucinations…The Cranes Dance is an addictive, absorbing take on competition and sisterhood. B+"
—Entertainment Weekly (Must List, 5/18)
"The Cranes Dance holds the door open to the candy store—the sacrosanct world of ballet—and I couldn't be happier for the privilege. It's fresh and often hilarious, sharp and adroit. Finding out who's behind that stage curtain, really behind the curtain, makes for utterly engaging reading. I love this novel!" —Amanda Boyden, author of Pretty Little Dirty
"Howrey's engaging new novel exposes the competitive world of professional ballet through Kate Crane, a charmingly sarcastic ballerina at a crossroads. . . . Kate is an ideal guide to an unfamiliar world, from her irreverent explanations of her ballets (Howrey was a professional dancer) to her relatable self-doubt and honesty. Her revelations about family, talent, and what makes us special create a thought-provoking and entertaining read." —Publishers Weekly
"Witty, sharp and exhilarating. . . . A tale of sibling rivalry, youthful ambition and dreams lost and found." —Susan Fales-Hill, author of One Flight Up
"With its universal themes of ambition and competition, sisterhood and sacrifice, it will appeal to bad dancers as well as balletomanes—an addictive, readable delight." —Caroline Weber, author of Queen of Fashion
"Playful and smart, Meg Howrey's fresh voice unveils an eye opening tale about the secretive and obsessive world of ballet." —Amanda Foreman, author of A World on Fire

Read an Excerpt
I threw my neck out in the middle of Swan Lake tonight. Act III, to be precise. Everything up to that point had been going pretty well.
I've danced Swan Lake a lot. Actually, it was the first ballet I ever did with the company. My parents and my sister Gwen flew in from Michigan for my debut. I remember trying to describe my stage position so they would know where I was in the flock.
"I'll know which one you are," Mom said. "I'll be holding my breath the whole time. And probably squeezing your father's hand off!"
"Actually, the collective noun for swans is a wedge of swans," Dad said. "Although that's used when they are flying in a V formation. Otherwise it might be a bevy of swans. Or a herd."
"Merde," said Gwen, because that is what dancers say to each other instead of "break a leg." Some dancers say "toi toi toi," which is kind of an opera thing. I've always thought that was a little pretentious, but whatever works for you. The girl who had my dressing room before me was Jewish and she put up one of those mezuzah thingies on the doorway. She took it with her when she retired, but I still touch the strip of sticky tape that remains before going onstage. That isn't about superstition, or religion. It's about ritual. Well, maybe it's about superstition because I did it the first time as a joke and that night I had a spectacular performance and so now I always do it.
I wasn't having a spectacular night tonight, but it was clean. No real mistakes, everything neat and tidy. The first role of my evening—one of the four Big Swans in Act II—had gone well, despite Fumio dragging the tempi. That's fine for Anne-Marie, who was dancing Odette and likes things slow, but tough on the rest of us, who had to stand still and cramp through solos that felt like the length of the Old Testament. For Act III I was dancing the Polish Princess. That's a solo, and it's fairly action-packed with pirouettes, but for some reason I find it less daunting than Big Swans. Maybe it's the costume. For Big Swans I'm all in white: crisp feathered tutu, white tights, white pointe shoes, feathered headpiece. The whole thing just screams, "And now . . . SERIOUS BALLET: please be perfect." Polish Princess gear has a knee-length skirt that hides a multitude of sins, and it's all flounces and furbelows. Jaunty little headgear. I feel like as long as I keep up a general air of "I am so HUGELY PSYCHED to be POLISH!" and avoid actually falling on my ass, I'm in the clear.
It occurs to me that maybe you don't know what Swan Lake is all about. I haven't assigned you a face or body, invisible audience member, let alone a background in the arts. Maybe you've never seen Swan Lake. Maybe you've seen it and you still don't really know what happened because you dropped your program under the seat in front of you and didn't want to scramble around for it in an ungainly fashion. Swan Lake, like all the major classical ballets, really needs program notes because otherwise you have to follow the plot points in ballet mime, and god knows those are truly undecipherable.
You're familiar with the music though, right? At the very least you've heard it in a TV commercial for like, Mop & Glo or something, and seen that line of linked dancers in white feathered tutus clip-clopping in pointe shoes across a sparkling floor? Dun-dun-dun-DUN-duddle dundundun, Dun-dun-dun-DUN—duddle dundundun. Tchaikovsky. I'm not being condescending. I try not to think about the fact that most people don't ever go to the ballet, but I get that they don't. I do get that.
So yes a synopsis might be in order, and if you know it already you can just nap for a bit. Most productions of Swan Lake don't vary all that much from one another. There are one or two really funky versions out there, but those aren't done by classical ballet companies. You can't deviate too far in classical ballet or you're no longer, well . . . classical. And it's not like Shakespeare, where you can reset the whole thing in World War II, or a Mexican brothel, or something. Well you could, but the plotline won't stand up under a whole lot of tinkering and we've got a subscription audience to satisfy. They want the Swan Lake they know and love, which by and large is the one that was done for the 1895 revival of the ballet by the choreographer Petipa and his ballet master, Ivanov. Sometimes an artistic director might change a few things or restage certain sections. Like Marius—our current artistic director—added a Prelude to our version.
The curtain rises on a nearly empty stage, with a backdrop of a lake and some boulders Stage Left leading up to a cave. Enter a young girl. She is wearing white and her hair is mostly down, so we know right away she is Young and Innocent. The girl dances dreamily by herself and all seems peaceful enough until suddenly a shadowy sort of caped figure emerges from the cave. It is the evil magician Von Rothbart. We know he's a magician because he's got the cape, and that he's evil because underneath the cape his costume is this demonic rubbery sort of thing that Roger refers to as "Mein Von Goblin Wear." Von Rothbart makes some gestures and a fog starts rolling in and darkness descends. The girl appears to lose her way in the mist. She does the big "I'm lost!" gesture: one hand in front of the face, taking tentative steps forward, peering around, etc. Von Rothbart slithers down from his boulders and makes more magic gestures, luring the girl into his arms. He swirls his cape around her, turns, and walks upstage, the cape billowing out in such a way that the girl is able to slip into the hydraulic trap and be replaced with another girl, this one in full Swan regalia: the stiff white tutu with the feathered bodice and headpiece. This is Odette, the ballerina we'll watch for the rest of the evening. The other one was a girl in the corps with a wig on to match the hair color of whoever is dancing Odette that night. It's the old switcheroo. (Be amazed by this bit of stage magic, okay? It's not like we can pull anything off with CGI.)
So Von Rothbart reveals this magically changed creature and she beats her arms and tries to run away, but Von Rothbart is able to control her, and using more of his dastardly powers he summons onto stage two rows of women in white swan tutus who form a V and beat their arms in unison as the evil magician stands triumphant with the stricken Odette pressed against his Von Goblin Wear. Lights fall, curtain, end of Prelude.
The program notes will tell you that the evil magician has placed all these poor women under a curse and that they are condemned to be swans by day and women by night. Von Rothbart's personal motivations for such malevolent behavior are not explained. You're at the ballet. Deal with it.
Act I opens in the village green of an unspecified, vaguely German realm. We're a little hazy on the time period too. It's Days of Yore, I guess, in the yore when everyone in pseudo Germany wandered around their village green in nearly identical outfits. Ours have a slightly Renaissance Fair vibe to them, which I think is a mistake. The sleeves are too puffy and give all the girls man shoulders. Anyway, A Village Green Scene is standard issue for classical ballet, and if you've seen one circlet of peasant-dancing hoo-ha, you've seen them all. There's a garland dance and a Maypole and a lot of people standing around fake clapping or pointing out to each other that other people are dancing in the middle of the stage. This kind of random milling about drives me NUTS, but honestly there just aren't a lot of options. We can't pretend like we're talking to each other, because that would be weird and anti-ballet. We don't have props or activities like you see in plays or the opera—that would take up stage space. So everyone just wanders around greeting each other with head nods if you're a girl and shoulder thumping if you're a guy, and then one person will indicate Center Stage like "Hey, did you see? There are people dancing! Isn't that neat!" And the other person will make a gesture like "Yes! Dancing. It is happening there!"
So here we are in the Village Green of Wherever filled with people who like to greet each other maniacally every ten seconds and then in walks Prince Siegfried, Prince of the realm of Wherever. Siegfried is greeted by his best buddy, "Ivor" (sometimes he has a different name and sometimes he's like a court jester, but in our version he's Ivor, Friend to the Prince). Ivor gets the Prince interested in some of these wonderful Maypole high jinks, the crowning moment of which is a big pas de trois Ivor dances with two local girls. The Act I pas de trois is a nice featured part, and getting to dance one of the two girls in it is a sign that things are going well for you in the company and you might not have to spend your whole career as third bird from the left.
Swan Lake floats in and out of our repertoire, so it was two years after my debut before we did it again, this time on tour, and I was cast as one of the pas de trois girls. And even though Gwen had only been in the company for about five seconds at that point, she was cast as the other girl. Our parents came to Chicago to see us, along with our brother, Keith.
"So, are you sisters in the ballet?" he asked. "Is that like part of it?"
"We're maidens," I said. "Nameless maidens."
"Everybody says we look like twins!" Gwen said. "But you'll be able to tell us apart. The one dancing better will be Kate."
Okay, so after the pas de trois between Ivor and the nameless maidens, Prince Siegfried dances a solo where he expresses (much jumping) his desire to find True Love. Then we have the appearance of the Prince's mother, the Queen. Lots of fanfare and aggressive pointing by all the villagers: "Look, it's the Queen! Hey, did you see? The Queen!" She's usually played by some old-timer—a ballet mistress or a teacher. Galina Sukonova is our Queen, and possesses a whole repertoire of animatronic facial expressions. It's a frightening thing up close, but good for those who can only afford seats in the top tiers. The Queen reminds Siegfried with some incomprehensible ballet mime that tomorrow is his twenty-first birthday and he's got obligations, like choosing a bride and getting married. The Prince sulks a bit at this, and makes the gesture for True Love: one hand to the breast, the other held aloft with the first two fingers extended. (You're gonna want to scootch down and get that program for the explanatory notes on this action, because otherwise you might think that the Queen is telling her son that he needs to get a manicure and that Siegfried is responding by trying to hail a cab, or test current wind conditions.)
Siegfried cheers up when the Queen presents him with a nifty-looking crossbow as a birthday present. Siegfried really loves his crossbow. He runs around stage with it, showing it to everybody Stage Left, and Stage Right, and then Stage Left again, just in case anybody Stage Left had their eyes closed. Basically eating up some music. Siegfried indicates to Ivor that he wants to go hunting RIGHT NOW, and Ivor indicates that night is falling and now's not a great time for him. Siegfried impulsively decides to go anyway, and Ivor reluctantly follows him. End of Act I.

Not necessarily into ballet but well written and very interesting. I liked the honesty of the main character. Recommend.
Written by a professional dancer, The Cranes Dance is the keenly observed story of Kate, a Soloist with an elite New York ballet company who is trying to survive the final weeks of a season that may make or break her career, or, for that matter, even end her life. Kate's voice is so charming and amusing, we believe her at first when she tries to convince us she's doing just fine despite all the stress she's under. But as she takes us on an authentically detailed, unsentimental but often wryly loving tour of her life as a dancer, we begin to suspect she's deceiving both us and herself, and that beneath her brave banter she's near to breaking. The life of a Soloist in an elite dance company is exacting and exhausting just in itself. But the Principal Dancers – the stars of the Company – are dropping out with injuries and Kate is concealing her own painful injury to cover their roles. Her sister Gwen – one of those stars who's taken leave – is in fact having a terrifying emotional breakdown and although Kate has in truth done everything she could to hold her sister together, her parents and her own sense of guilt are pressuring her to do even more. Meanwhile, rather than support her through these escalating crises, Kate's boyfriend has left her cold – and again Kate tries to blame herself. It's all too true a story both in the arts and in family life: because she's a trooper, because she's the sensible child, Kate's asked to give more and more to the Company, her parents, her brother and her sister, and the men in her life while getting far too little in return. As Kate's season nears its close, we pray that this won't be a Cinderella story that lacks a final triumph, and that her wit and tremendous courage as a young woman and an artist – with a little help from her friends – will see her through to the victory she deserves. Although set in the world of dance, Kate's experience of the literal agony and occasional, merciful ecstasy of the life of an artist is equally true for athletes, writers, actors, musicians or any other performer or artist who is driven to do what she does best. By turns delightfully good-natured, deeply moving, and convincingly informed, it's a book those artists – and their fans, friends, lovers, parents, and anyone who wants to understand the reality behind the performance – will treasure.
I loved how detailed it was when it came to the ballet and dance bits, but the main character was rather boring. She was unsure about what she wanted from her sister, and didn't know what to expect from herself. Although the self reflecting was well written and honest the time skips were jumbled and kind of confusing to sort through. I was surprised when it did not reach my expectations, but all in all it was a decent read.
Loved it
Interesting point of view from a ballet dancer. It was a little slow in some parts when there were a lot of descriptions about ballet, but still good. Has a lot to say about mental illness and cracking under a lot of pressure and stress.
If Suzanne Farrell was in The Catcher in the Rye you would have this book. If you enjoyed the movie, Black Swan you will probably enjoy this.
This book kept me intrigued and constantly wondering if Gwen was really the one who was insane. I've read reviews where readers felt very sorry for her, as if she were a victim. Perhaps it's the honestly associated with living inside the charactors mind, but I didn't find Kate particularly likable or victimized. She seemed to make choices that very clearly led to consequences. This, of course, made her an interesting charactor to follow-because no one wants an entirely likable charactor, we want someone we can relate to, even guiltily. We want affirmations that we are not alone in our most sinister of thoughts-Kate gives us that. We are not alone.
I loved this book. It sweeps you into the world of the ballet. You learn the terrible physical and psychological toll it takes to be a serious dancer and the ephemeral joy dancing brings. The prose style is beautiful.
Loved it.

Jaryl Perkins was chairman of the board of the Topeka AIDS Project when he encountered a problem last fall. TAP's fundraising effort came up slightly short on cash. But a generous donation from an anonymous couple helped TAP make its goal.
There was one catch. Jaryl would have his head shaved live on WIBW.
Readily agreeing, he allowed 13's Ralph Hipp to shave his head to collect on the promise. (The couple wrote TAP a check for $500 dollars, to reach $1,100. Shaving Jaryl's head Tuesday is one of the most fun things we've done on the local talk show, and we've got it here on wibw.com.
(Post Script: Current Topeka AIDS Project Chair Marilynn Ault wrote Ralph after the program, saying Jaryl is not setting a precedent, and she is not planning on having Ralph shave her head next year!)

The macroeconomics of pension reform: The case of severance pay reform in Italy
In the last two decades Italy implemented a number of reforms of the public pay-as-you-go (PAYG) scheme that curtailed future pensions. Governments therefore felt the need to increase the number of workers contributing to fully funded (FF) schemes to offset the expected fall in public pensions. In the private sector an existing saving fund, the severance pay scheme (Trattamento di fine rapporto or TFR) was used to expand the anaemic existing FF pillar. The macroeconomic content of the reform seems fragile since the economy's amount of precautionary saving has not changed. The question is why a bolder reform aiming at creating an additional new old-age saving scheme has not been attempted by the Italian Government. The answer presumably has to do with troubles surrounding the macroeconomics of pension reforms, in particular the difficulties of setting up a FF scheme from scratch or by diverting resources from an existing PAYG program. Not surprisingly, no reform was attempted in the public sector where the TFR works on a PAYG basis. An ancillary argument to defend the reform relies on presumed higher returns from private pension funds (PFs) compared to the old TFR. In this light, the paper examines the non-exiting financial performance of the PFs. The instability of financial markets, even before the current crises, and the fondness of workers for the old TFR are finally used to explain the low popularity of the reform. All in all, the reform seems to be more in the nature of political window-dressing, consisting in a change in management of an existing saving fund, in order to show that something has been done to preserve the future standard of living of retirees.

Skip to Main Content
The mathematical problem consists of determining the spread of the Fourier transform of function when the function is modified by a multiplicative factor exp j¿(t), where ¿ is a stationary random process. Let F(¿) be the Fourier transform of f(t) and Fm(¿) be the transform of f(t) exp j¿(t). For example, f may be the illumination function of a linear antenna and ¿ accounts for imperfect phasing of the antenna. The major results consist of simple formulas for the rms tilting (or shifting) of the pattern |Fm|2 and the rms radius of gyration (or beamwidth) of the pattern. These positional errors and resolution degradations are formulated in terms of the pattern in the absence of phase errors and the power density spectrum of ¿¿. The problem of calculating the best obtainable resolution, i.e., minimizing the mean-square resolution over all possible illumination functions, requires numerical solution; however, it is shown that it is always possible to obtain a rms resolution better than the smaller of rms ¿¿ and ¿rms ¿¿. The actual numerical solution is compared to this simple approximation for the case of sinusoidal phase errors. The general results have a broad scope of applications, and here the spreading of the ambiguity function in time and frequency in the presence of time phase errors and dispersion (frequency phase errors) is described with particular attention to linear FM pulses. Finally, some observations are made about quadratic phase errors, signal-to-noise performance, and mean-square point-target response.

I'm pulling events in through an API using tribe_get_events. My code is pretty much straight out of the documentation.
$all_events = tribe_get_events(
'tax_query'=> array(
'taxonomy' => 'tribe_events_cat',
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => 'homepage'
The problem is, there is an event from 11am-2pm today (April 23) that is _not_ coming back in this request. There is only 1 other event that should be coming back (which is) and the category is correctly checked.
I've checked the time on the server and it's correct.
I've changed the end time of the event to 11pm just to test it and it correctly comes back in the request.
Are "upcoming" events dropped by hour in tribe_get_events? If so, is there a way to get around this without modifying the plugin?

Forum > Classic Mustang Technical forum
Just starting out on my first rebuild project for a 69 Mustang Grande.
Want to swap small block engine for big block. Would like to find a cobra jet engine to install. What needs to be done to the car (springs, transmission, rear end, etc) to allow for the larger engine. Also, any ideas on where to find a cobra jet engine? Any suggestions on good places to find parts? If a cobra jet engine is too expensive, what's another decent big block for this car?
the 429's in thunderbirds, galaxies, torinos and even some station wagons are a good starting point. By the time you put an aftermarket intake and a modern cam in them, the weak points of the factory engines are gone. While a Cobra Jet designation engine would be cool, a run of the mill stock 429 still shares many of the same parts. I sam a pick up for sale on craigslist today with a 429 and a C-^ running for 1500.00 and it already had an aftermarket aluminum intake on it. You could find a running car and get much of what you need and then throw your existing engine into it and resell it for most of your invested money.
The major difference between a standard 429 and a cobra jet were the heads. But the standard heads with a port and polish job may actually be better for lower rpm torque and day to day driving. Cobra jet and super cobra jets used mechanical cams and have guide plates and adjustable rocker arms.
Super cobra jets had 4 bolt mains. forged pistons and a better oil pump.
For modern street performance most people use hydraulic cams so they don't have the hassle of valve adjustments and do you really need a 429 CID engine to turn over 6200 RPM's?
Also consider the 460's which are just a stroked version of the 429-desmogged and with good head work, they can be made into monsters and are externally identical to the 429's
Look for 1969 to 1973 vehicles. 4 bolt mains are nice, but not a necessity.
428 cj/scjs did not have 4 bolt mains
--- Quote from: rayms69 on July 22, 2012, 09:10:16 PM ---428 cj/scjs did not have 4 bolt mains
--- End quote ---
That may be true, but I was discussing the 429/460. not the old FE based 428 engines
My fault, just saw cj/scj and my brain tells me 428, sorry

In a showdown of two of the best area girls lacrosse teams, Apponequet stayed undefeated with a 15-9 road win over Bishop Stang on Monday.
"Hat's off to Apponequet," Stang coach Dave Ponte said. "They showed why they're the team to beat."
Lizzie Loranger and Ali Noyes led the Lakers (5-0, 3-0 South Coast Conference) attack with four goals apiece. Ali Campbell added three goals, Holly Turner had two and Caitlin Baril and Victoria Johnson added one apiece. Jade Rodrigues played a great game in the midfield and was strong on the draw.
"I thought the girls played well," Lakers coach Laura Magno said. "They put a solid game together."
The Spartans (4-3, 2-1) got four goals from Ally DaCosta, three goals and an assist from Kate Martin, a goal from Anne Martin and one score and one assist from Emily Audycki.
Both goalies — Mia Rapoza for Stang and Jackie Call for Apponequet — made nine saves.
The Lakers go on the road to face Old Rochester on Wednesday, while the Spartans face Weston on Wednesday in a game that is scheduled for Weston, but could be moved to Stang.

Mendel's monohybrid crosses refute the idea of blending. One trait disappears in the first generation (F1), then reappears in a predictable ratio in the next (F2). The trait observable in the F1 is called dominant, and the other recessive. In the F2, the ratio of observed dominant off spring to recessive is 3:1, and this represents a ratio of 1 homozygous dominant to 2 heterozygous to 1 homozygous recessive. The Principle of Segregation states that alleles segregate into different gametes, which randomly combine at fertilization. The physical basis for segregation is the separation of homologues during anaphase I of meiosis.
■ What fraction of tall F2 plants are true-breeding?

This story has consumed me. It's as real to me as anything in my life. More real, I think; I know everything that's ever happened to Mikel the lost prince, from his childhood injuries to his first love. He is so very real, you see, so solid and true-to-life. Yet I'd be hard-pressed to tell you what I ate for breakfast yesterday. Or where I went to college.
Or if I'm married.
I'd wonder why, but I've no time. I must write more of Mikel's story. That is my purpose. There had to be someone to do it, after all...

City The Future of the Mirabeau Room
The rumors have been swirling for quite some time, and it does look like the Queen Anne nightclub is headed for big changes in either ownership or ambience. Owner Dave Meinert has confirmed that a sale to an undisclosed party is pending; if that does not go through, the club will be closing for remodeling at the end of this week. This week's poetry and comedy showcases (slated for tonight and Wednesday, respectively) will still take place; the last scheduled event is this Saturday, when the band "Awesome" will perform. I'll post more details as they become available.

10 Resort Reviews
Write New Review
I have had some of the best ski days of my life in Las Lenas since going the first time in 2001. It is by far the best advanced/expert terrain in the world for a ski resort, where you can ski right off the high alpine chair Marte and ski whatever you want, just need to sign a waiver that says you can't sue the resort if you hurt yourself out of bounds.
Due to its high elevation you are normally guaranteed good snow for your ski week. The only downfall to Las Lenas is that it is not the best organized resort and the chairs are very old and can be slow, and sometimes not open. When the upper mountain is not open the lower mountain can have long lines. To get up to the infamous Marte chair you need to take 2 slow doubles. When Las Lenas is on with good snow condtitions though and no lines, it is amazing. Accommodation prices have gone up quite a bit in 2008 so if looking for economic option there is staying 15 minutes away in Los Molles in cabins or 45 minutes away in Malargue.

Books Lunch Date: Love Is a Mixtape
posted by April 1 at 13:42 PMon
(A few times a week, I take a new book with me to lunch and give it a half an hour or so to grab my attention. Lunch Date is my judgment on that speed-dating experience.)
Who's your date today? Love is a Mix Tape: Life and Loss, One Song at a Time, by Rob Sheffield, released in paperback in January.
Where'd you go? Mediterranean Express.
What'd you eat? The Kafta Kabob ($8.79).
How was the food? Mediterranean Express is pretty damn good. They've got that weird, delicious rice that's so yellow it's kind of glowing, and the Kabobs reminded me of salisbury steak TV dinners, but in a really good way. The hummus is not so very exciting, but everything else is just spicy enough for a lunch break where I have to talk to people for the rest of the day and not offend them with my breath.
What does your date say about itself? It's a memoir about the author, a contributing editor for Rolling Stone, and his romance with a woman who would eventually die in his arms. And also the mix tapes that they made. There's a rave blurb on the back, from Sheffield's employer, Rolling Stone, calling the book "the finest lines ever written about rock and roll." Also, Entertainment Weekly calls it "heroic."
Is there a representative quote? "….For instance, I hated Pearl Jam at the time. I thought they were pompous blowhards. Now, whenever a Pearl Jam song comes on the car radio, I find myself pounding my fist on the dashboard, screaming, "Pearl JAM! Pearl JAM! Now this is rock and roll! Jeremy's SPO-ken! But he's still al-LIIIIIVE!"
Will you two end up in bed together? Sadly, no. While I feel like a douchebag for abandoning a book about a dead woman who the author clearly loves a lot, the vapid writing about bad rock and roll, and the use of a mix tape as a metaphor for, well, everything, makes me not want to read any further. This really does come across as a very long Rolling Stone article about mortality, which isn't anything that I have any desire to read. Abandoned at page 41.

Skip to comments.Herman Cain wins South Dakota Straw Poll (Cain 35%, Gingrich 23%, Romney 20%, Perry 7%)
Posted on 11/06/2011 3:49:26 PM PST by justsaynomore
Dozens of people gathered at the Sioux Falls Convention Center Saturday night for a straw poll.
The event is being put on by the South Dakota Republican Party.
Voters could pick one of the 8 republican candidates.
Tickets were $25.
Herman Cain won the poll coming in with 35% of the votes. Newt Gingrich 23%. Mitt Romney 20%. Rick Perry 7%. Ron Paul 5%. Michele Bachmann 4%. Rick Santorum 3% and Jon Huntsman 0%.
Romney is at 20%. Cain is the only Republican in the field who's broken away. The allegations again him have propelled him to a commanding win.
Do you happen to know if either Thune or Noem has endorsed anyone?
No but the elites should sit up and take notice.
They're too busy admiring each other to notice most Republicans want someone other than Slick Willard to be their standard bearer.
great strategy that "scandal" was, risky though. Cain's biggest problem was name recognition.... the MSM took care of that.
nothing gets your name out there like a scandal
Thank God!
I think that NH will bury Mitt, once and for all...He all but lives in the state, has a big vacation home there,and is just about a "favorite son." Yet he's polling in the low 40s...If he can't get a majority there, he should be toast. Actually, I think that Cain might just about catch him by the toime of the primary..
He's looking like a prohibitive favorite... and unless something crashes his juggernaut, he should be well on the way to the nomination.
Four years ago, the media mavens and Democrats all decreed Hillary was the presumptive heir to the nomination and Barack Obama had no chance.
In the end he took it. Republican leaders and the media are infected with the same short-sightedness today.
Ha HA! C'mon, MSM. Pull another scandal out of your "hat,"and watch Herman go up another 8 points!
Cain's name recognition was already in the high 70s (Gallup) before this scandal hit. He was winning in polls before the story hit as well, and is still winning after.
I would say it has solidified his base, though, and many who were on the fence, have started supporting him.
It has given him a fundraising bump, since Monday, he has brought in roughly twice his normal fundraising.
Bye bye, Mitt. Bye bye Ricky.
I guess the last money bomb didn't raise enough gas money to get the buses to South Dakota.
Wasn't Ron Paul on the ballot? I thought he always wins the straw polls. Which causes me doubt their value as a predictor of a real election.
If Slick Willard loses New Hampshire, its going to cast doubt on his electability. If he can't put it away in New England, he's not going to perform well in the Southern super primaries and he's not exactly a popular guy in the South.
"Ha HA! Cmon, MSM. Pull another scandal out of your hat,and watch Herman go up another 8 points!"
Why, according to Commie Broadcasting System (CBS) Evening News, Republicans need to make sure that Cain is "thoroughly vetted" if he is to have a hope of defeating Obama.
You know. Obama. The guy who has six social security numbers, hides his college records, and has periods of his life history "missing".
But we gotta make sure Cain is vetted...
Ron Paul is not a serious candidate. I would never vote for him and he will never get the nomination.
Willie mitty is too busy shooting more Botox to comment...
bet next time we see him he will have lost the gray side burns and ironed out some of the wrinkles...
That is very true. The Perry supporters that keep telling us that he is making a comeback should also start paying attention and stop trashing the other candidates in order to advance his cause.
I think Perry's comeback is going to peak in the low double-digits
Another BIG DAY for Perry...LOL.
No one seems excited about the professional political class. None of them are breaking 25%.
That should be a clue about the GOP mood.
Rick parries, but is foiled again.
Seeing Newt rise about Romney is very good news.
The tide may be turning... I hope it holds.
Thune keeps sending me letters in the mail asking for donations which I never return. He's been rather milquetoast in the Senate so far---I expected better from him.
I know it's a straw poll, but interesting that Newt is up at 23%. Looks like some of the Romneyites are jumping ship and migrating over to Newt's camp. The old guard might coalesce around Newt as Plan C for fending off the TEA mutiny. That's really the only thing standing between Cain and the nomination at this point.
rise about Romney = rise above Romney
NH is an open primary. Since the dem candidate is set, they will vote in the GOP primary. Most of the people who vote for Romney in the primary will vote for 0bama in the general.
Please pray for the safety and well being of Herman Cain. Thank you.
wonder if the Cain team was the source of the leak! :-)
Better call old tingle-leg Matthews for an reading on this crystal ball....
Even if it turns out to be a non-scandal!
I like seeing Romney drop below Gingrich.
Wow! Was this before or after the debate in Houston?
I love that graphic.
You're tagline is right too, thank God.
"I like seeing Romney drop below Gingrich."
Lol! Me too...
Best news I've read all day! Go Herman Cain!!!
I second that prayer. I pray to our Lord for Mr. Cain's protection & safety every night!!! The Rove/Romney/Obama/Politico "dirt bag" ilk will do anything, stop at nothing, to derail or prevent Herman Cain from moving forward because they know his success will be a total, positive, game changer for the American Republic and her people, all of them!!!
Cain/Gingrich/Palin/Rubio/Bachmann/The Tea Party, etc. are real threats to all RINOs, POTUS Obama, The Obamabots, the Democrat Party, the current political establishment and the lamestream media. IMHO, they will stop at nothing, and....I mean absolutely nothing, to take Herman Cain out, what ever evil way they can!!! Stay safe & secure Mr. Cain!!!
I'm not a math major or a rocket science like Herman Cain but I think this adds up to over 50%:
Herman Cain 35% of the votes. Newt Gingrich 23%
Jon Huntsman 0%.
What was Junior Hunts saying again this morning on national tv about Herman?
He might want to start that comeback soon. The graph of his polling is on a steady downward slant. Extrapolated out, it ought to be at or near zero in 58 days when the first ballots are cast.
I like it!
A big 7%...WOW!!! His ILLEGAL lovin' toadies will tell us all he is still has a chance though and to not count LaRaza ricky out just yet!
.... Mitt would have to get a tattoo at the Harley Ride in NH to get my attention.....
Wouldn't that be great?!
But that was expected.
Newt polled ahead of Romney. lol!
Maybe Perry can join up with N. Texas donkeys and have one more glorious ride....

Prosecuting attorney in the Manson trial Vincent Bugliosi held a unique insider's position in one of the most baffling and horrifying cases of the 20th century: the cold-blooded Tate-LaBianca murders carried out by Charles Manson and four of his followers. What motivated Manson in his seemingly mindless selection of victims, and what was his hold over the young women who obeyed his orders? Now available for the first time in unabridged audio, the gripping story of this famous and haunting crime is brought to life by acclaimed narrator Scott Brick.
"Everything I remembered about the case was wrong.."
In politics, when reason and emotion collide, emotion invariably wins. In this landmark book, scientist and psychologist Drew Westen shows how electorates vote not with their heads but with their hearts, and how the marketplace that matters most is the marketplace of emotion - filled with values, images, analogies, moral sentiments, and moving oratory.
"Good information, if a little too much of it"
Timed for the critical presidential election season, New York Times best-selling author and noted political commentator Dick Morris provides a strategy and position on the issues for Republicans to attract crucial new voters to the party in order to win back the White House in 2016 and put an end to the Obama agenda of ruinous socialism. By using new issues, attracting new voters, and offering new alternatives, Republicans can win the election of 2016 and save America!
"Informative and practical a must read"
Every year, the average American eats 33 pounds of cheese (triple what we ate in 1970) and 70 pounds of sugar (about 22 teaspoons a day). We ingest 8,500 milligrams of salt a day, double the recommended amount, and almost none of that comes from the shakers on our table. It comes from processed food. It's no wonder, then, that one in three adults, and one in five kids, is clinically obese.
"This is all too real, and YOU are the victim."
Posted directly outside President Clinton's Oval Office, former Secret Service uniformed officer Gary Byrne reveals what he observed of Hillary Clinton's character and the culture inside the White House while protecting the first family in Crisis of Character, the most anticipated book of the 2016 election.
"50/50 - Gov't Bureaucracy and Clinton's vs. Bush's"
Famed investigative journalist Eric Schlosser digs deep to uncover secrets about the management of America's nuclear arsenal. A groundbreaking account of accidents, near misses, extraordinary heroism, and technological breakthroughs, Command and Control explores the dilemma that has existed since the dawn of the nuclear age: How do you deploy weapons of mass destruction without being destroyed by them? That question has never been resolved - and Schlosser reveals how the combination of human fallibility and technological complexity still poses a grave risk to mankind.
At some point every one of us embarks on a journey to find love. We meet people, date, get into and out of relationships, all with the hope of finding someone with whom we share a deep connection. This seems standard now, but it's wildly different from what people did even just decades ago. Single people today have more romantic options than at any point in human history.
"Entertaining and informative"
Adapted from Decoded, Meltzer's hit show on the History network, History Decoded explores many fascinating and unexplained questions. Is Fort Knox empty? Why was Hitler so intent on capturing the Roman "Spear of Destiny"? What's the government hiding in Area 51? Where did the Confederacy's $19 million in gold and silver go at the end of the Civil War? Did Lee Harvey Oswald really act alone?
"I would rate as just OK!"
World War II had been raging for nearly a year. Hitler was now planning an invasion of England to seal Europe's fate. Though the United States was still neutral, a few Americans decided they couldn't remain on the sidelines. They joined Britain's Royal Air Force - with the future of civilization hanging in the balance. The Few tells the dramatic story of these Americans who defied their own country's neutrality laws and risked their very citizenship to fight side-by-side with England's finest pilots.
In this stunning new book, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of "outliers"--the best and the brightest, the most famous and the most successful. He asks the question: what makes high-achievers different? His answer is that we pay too much attention to what successful people are like, and too little attention to where they are from: that is, their culture, their family, their generation, and the idiosyncratic experiences of their upbringing.
"Captivating (if not an outlier)"
In the era of colorblindness, it is no longer socially permissible to use race, explicitly, as a justification for discrimination, exclusion, and social contempt. Yet, as legal star Michelle Alexander reveals, today it is perfectly legal to discriminate against convicted criminals in nearly all the ways that it was once legal to discriminate against African Americans.
"An essential read. A horrifying reality."
In a thrilling narrative showcasing his gifts as storyteller and researcher, Erik Larson recounts the spellbinding tale of the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition. Also available abridged.
"A Rich Read!"
Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this piercing work distills 3,000 years of the history of power into 48 well-explicated laws. This bold volume outlines the laws of power in their unvarnished essence, synthesizing the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, Carl von Clausewitz, and other infamous strategists. The 48 Laws of Power will fascinate any listener interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control.
"You don't have to be a psychopath to like this."
13 Hours presents, for the first time ever, the true account of the events of September 11, 2012, when terrorists attacked the US State Department Special Mission Compound and a nearby CIA station called the Annex in Benghazi, Libya. A team of six American security operators fought to repel the attackers and protect the Americans stationed there. Those men went beyond the call of duty, performing extraordinary acts of courage and heroism, to avert tragedy on a much larger scale.
"Spellbinding, Inspiring, Humbling"
In The Tipping Point, New Yorker writer Malcolm Gladwell looks at why major changes in society happen suddenly and unexpectedly. Just as a single sick person can start an epidemic of the flu, so too can a few fare-beaters and graffiti artists fuel a subway crime wave, or a satisfied customer fill the empty tables of a new restaurant. These are social epidemics, and the moment when they take off, when they reach their critical mass, is the Tipping Point.
"Marketing has a lot to learn from this book"
At least one-third of the people we know are introverts. They are the ones who prefer listening to speaking, reading to partying; who innovate and create but dislike self-promotion; who favor working on their own over brainstorming in teams. Although they are often labeled "quiet," it is to introverts that we owe many of the great contributions to society--from van Gogh's sunflowers to the invention of the personal computer.
"Thought provoking and Uplifting.... A++++++++!!!!!"
We live in a culture of casual certitude. This has always been the case, no matter how often that certainty has failed. Though no generation believes there's nothing left to learn, every generation unconsciously assumes that what has already been defined and accepted is (probably) pretty close to how reality will be viewed in perpetuity. And then, of course, time passes. Ideas shift. Opinions invert. What once seemed reasonable eventually becomes absurd, replaced by modern perspectives that feel even more irrefutable and secure - until, of course, they don't.
"Another bad review for the narrator"
In his landmark best seller The Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell redefined how we understand the world around us. Now, in Blink, he revolutionizes the way we understand the world within. Blink is a book about how we think without thinking, about choices that seem to be made in an instant, in the blink of an eye, that actually aren't as simple as they seem. Why are some people brilliant decision makers, while others are consistently inept?
"Buy it now! Or not.. Trust your instincts."
There are, in the United States, a significant and growing number of families who live on less than $2.00 per person, per day. That figure, the World Bank measure of poverty, is hard to imagine in this country - most of us spend more than that before we get to work or school in the morning.
"It Stays with You"
Politics is no longer about pointing to a shining city on the hill; it's about promising you a shiny new car for your driveway. The candidate who tells the people what they want to hear is usually the one who wins - facts be damned. Politicians may be sleazy and spineless, but they're not stupid. They see that the way to win is by first telling people everything that is wrong with the world and then painting a vision of the life they want - a Utopian vision that they'll create right here on earth, one where no one is ever sick or hungry, jobless, or homeless.
White Americans have long been comfortable in the assumption that they are the cultural norm. Now that notion is being challenged, as white people wrestle with what it means to be part of a fast-changing, truly multicultural nation. Facing chronic economic insecurity, a popular culture that reflects the nation's diverse cultural reality, and a future in which they will no longer constitute the majority of the population, and with a black president in the White House, whites are growing anxious.
"A Primer on Racism for White People"
At the core of this book is an appalling double murder committed by two Mormon fundamentalist brothers, Ron and Dan Lafferty, who insist they received a revelation from God commanding them to kill their blameless victims. Weaving the story of the Lafferty brothers and their fanatical brethren with a clear-eyed look at Mormonism's violent past, Krakauer examines the underbelly of the most successful homegrown faith in the United States, and finds a distinctly American brand of religious extremism.
"Interesting @ arm's length"
It is now 100 years since drugs were first banned in the United States. On the eve of this centenary, journalist Johann Hari set off on an epic three-year, 30,000-mile journey into the war on drugs. What he found is that more and more people all over the world have begun to recognize three startling truths: Drugs are not what we think they are. Addiction is not what we think it is. And the drug war has very different motives to the ones we have seen on our TV screens for so long.
"A Must if the drug war has touched you at all"
Her name was Henrietta Lacks, but scientists know her as HeLa. She was a poor Southern tobacco farmer who worked the same land as her slave ancestors, yet her cells, taken without her knowledge, became one of the most important tools in medicine. The first immortal human cells grown in culture, they are still alive today, though she has been dead for more than 60 years.
"Amazing Story"
In 1929, in the blue-collar city of Portsmouth, Ohio, a company built a swimming pool the size of a football field; named Dreamland, it became the vital center of the community. Now, addiction has devastated Portsmouth, as it has hundreds of small rural towns and suburbs across America - addiction like no other the country has ever faced. How that happened is the riveting story of Dreamland.
"American Nightmare that is Necessary Reading"
Finding and identifying a pirate ship is the hardest thing to do under the sea. But two men - John Chatterton and John Mattera - are willing to risk everything to find the Golden Fleece, the ship of the infamous pirate Joseph Bannister. While he was at large during the Golden Age of Piracy in the 17th century, Bannister's exploits would have been more notorious than Blackbeard's, more daring than Kidd's, but his story and his ship have been lost to time.
"Think like a pirate!"
The author of The Complete Infidel's Guide to ISIS and The Complete Infidel's Guide to the Koran returns with the sharp wit and boundless courage needed to expose the oncoming storm from Iran.
Over the years, there have been many strange or unexplained phenomena that people have experienced or witnessed in their lives. These experiences have been passed on from generation to generation. However, as time passed, most of these may have been forgotten or simply remained unsolved. There are hundreds of paranormal stories and personal experiences that have happened over the last century but there are some that truly stand out and have become incidents that people never forget.
Between 1865 and 1890, in the aftermath of the Civil War, virtually every important American labor reform organization advocated "cooperation" over "competitive" capitalism and several thousand cooperatives opened for business during this era. The men and women who built cooperatives were practical reformers and they established businesses to stabilize their work lives, families, and communities. Yet they were also utopians - envisioning a world free from conflict where workers would receive the full value of their labor.
Esoteric scholar Manly P. Hall covers a lot of areas relating to the ancient mysteries, including common roots in religious and ritual practices, the practices of the Druids and how they relate to Masonry, the rites of Mithras, Simon Magus and the Gnostics, Abraxas, the Egyptian Serapis, the Odinic mysteries and how they compare, the rites of Eleusis, the Orphic mysteries, Bacchus, Dionysos, and much more.
When Lee H. Hamilton joined Congress in 1965 as a US Representative from southern Indiana, he began writing commentaries for his constituents describing his experiences, impressions, and developing views of what was right and wrong in American politics. He continued to write regularly throughout his 34 years in office and up to the present. Lively and full of his distinctive insights, Hamilton's essays provide vivid accounts of national milestones over the past 50 years.
American democracy can be...messy, sometimes. With all the voices and commentaries around us, making sense of the American democratic tradition may seem overwhelming. This collection of books will help. With these Quick and Dirty Guides, you will be that much closer to sifting through the noise being an informed citizen. They are non-partisan and honest (if a bit cynical); just the kind of balanced information you're looking for.
If we judge the West by the state of its families, the West is sick. Millions of children barely see their parents, or for only a few minutes a day. One in two families break down, for better or worse. The casualties throng the family courts. Our maladjusted system has made the ideal of 'mom' and 'dad' - i.e. a loving, constant, adult presence in a child's infancy - a rarity. To speak of the 'maternal instinct' still elicits scorn or embarrassment from some feminists, who continue to mock 'holy motherhood'.
A true insider's story of the backpacker murders from the detective who led the team that arrested Ivan Milat. Milat - the serial killer who preyed on young hitchhikers. The backpackers - the innocent victims of a brutal murderer. Belanglo - a place that became synonymous with pure evil. It was the biggest and most complex manhunt in Australian history, an investigation that gripped a nation. Behind the many false leads and dead ends, precious clues emerged that pointed to one man.
In 2003, for the first time since the Second World War, the UK took part in an opposed invasion and full-scale occupation of a sovereign state - Iraq. Cabinet decided on 17th March to join the US-led invasion of Iraq. That decision was ratified by Parliament the next day and implemented the night after that. In June 2009, Prime Minister Gordon Brown ordered an Inquiry to be conducted to identify lessons that could be learned from the Iraq conflict. This audiobook is an unabridged reading of that report's executive summary.
Published in 1996, Arjun Appadurai's Modernity at Large is an edited collection of earlier essays that had already made the Indian-born anthropologist an influential figure in his field of cultural anthropology. Appadurai here presents a theory of globalization, and suggests ways that other researchers can follow up on his ideas. Many of them continue to do so. For anthropologists, the book offered new ways of thinking about how communities are affected by globalization.
This short work proves that we have knowledge that cannot possibly be derived from observation.
If you're like most people, you think that your choices and behaviors are driven by your individual, personal tastes, and opinions. You wear a certain jacket because you liked the way it looked. You picked a particular career because you found it interesting. The notion that our choices are driven by our own personal thoughts and opinions is patently obvious. Right? Wrong.
Age of Discovery explores a world on the brink of a new Renaissance and asks: how do we share more widely the benefits of unprecedented progress? How do we endure the inevitable tumult generated by accelerating change? How do we each thrive through this tangled, uncertain time? From gains in health, education, wealth and technology to crises of conflict, disease and mass migration, the similarities between today's world and that of the 15th century are both striking and prophetic: we have been here before.
The Stoics taught that destructive emotions resulted from errors in judgment, of the active relationship between cosmic determinism and human freedom, and the belief that it is virtuous to maintain a will that is in accord with nature. Because of this, the Stoics presented their philosophy as a way of life, and they thought that the best indication of an individual's philosophy was not what a person said but how that person behaved.
"Great quotes!"
Like many aspiring writers, David Breithaupt had money problems. But what he also had was unsupervised access to one of the finest special collections libraries in the country. In October 1990, Kenyon College hired David Breithaupt as its library's part-time evening supervisor. In April 2000 he was fired after a Georgia librarian discovered him selling a letter by Flannery O'Connor on eBay, but that was only the tip of the iceberg. Breithaupt had been browsing the collection, taking from it whatever rare books, manuscripts, and documents caught his eye.
Ferdinand de Saussure's Course in General Linguistics was first published in 1916, three years after his death. The book aims to explain Saussure's theory that all languages share an underlying structure, and that this underlying structure is the same, regardless of historical or cultural context. Although the book marked a break with the traditional, history-focused study of linguistics of the time, Saussure still uses examples based on more traditional studies.
Can the Subaltern Speak? is a classic of postcolonial studies, the discipline that examines the impact of colonial control on countries that gained their independence from European powers from the 1940s onwards. The essay, written in 1988 by Calcutta-born scholar Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, argues that a core problem for the poorest and most marginalized in society (the subalterns) is that they have no platform to express their concerns, and no voice to affect policy debates or demand a fairer share.
The doctrine of 'original intent' is scrutinized and shown to be incoherent.
In this fictitious dialogue, it is clearly explained how quantum physics is deterministic and how it is indeterministic, and it is also clearly said what Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle is.
In this fictitious dialogue, it is made clear what a law of logic is and why the laws of classical logic are true.
Every president has had a unique and complicated relationship with the intelligence community. While some have been coolly distant, even adversarial, others have found their intelligence agencies to be among the most valuable instruments of policy and power. Since John F. Kennedy's presidency, this relationship has been distilled into a personalized daily report: a short summary of what the intelligence apparatus considers the most crucial information for the president to know that day about global threats and opportunities.
Superintelligence asks the questions: What happens when machines surpass humans in general intelligence? Will artificial agents save or destroy us? Nick Bostrom lays the foundation for understanding the future of humanity and intelligent life. The human brain has some capabilities that the brains of other animals lack. It is to these distinctive capabilities that our species owes its dominant position. If machine brains surpassed human brains in general intelligence, then this new superintelligence could become extremely powerful - possibly beyond our control.
"Colossus: The Forbin Project is coming"
Based on seven years of ground-breaking research and hundreds of interviews, I Thought It Was Just Me shines a long-overdue light on an important truth: Our imperfections are what connect us to each other and to our humanity. Our vulnerabilities are not weaknesses; they are powerful reminders to keep our hearts and minds open to the reality that we're all in this together.
"Good self-help book; not well-suited for audio."
Tribes are groups of people aligned around an idea, connected to a leader and to each other. Tribes make our world work, and always have. The new opportunity is that it's easier than ever to find, organize, and lead a tribe. The Web has enabled an explosion of all kinds of tribes - and created shortage of people to lead them. This is the growth industry of our time. Tribes will help you understand exactly what's at stake, and why YOU can and should lead a tribe of your own.
What drug lords learned from big business. How does a budding cartel boss succeed (and survive) in the $300 billion illegal drug business? By learning from the best, of course. From creating brand value to fine-tuning customer service, the folks running cartels have been attentive students of the strategy and tactics used by corporations such as Walmart, McDonald's, and Coca-Cola.
"Worthy book in the "economics explains X" genre"
On January 7, 1980, in the run-up to the publication of his landmark best seller Thy Neighbor's Wife, Gay Talese received an anonymous letter from a man in Colorado. "Since learning of your long-awaited study of coast-to-coast sex in America," the letter began, "I feel I have important information that I could contribute to its contents or to contents of a future book." The man went on to tell Talese an astonishing secret: that he had bought a motel to satisfy his voyeuristic desires.
"Strangely captivating"
By synthesizing current research in the social sciences, Schwartz makes the counterintuitive case that eliminating choices can greatly reduce the stress, anxiety, and busyness of our lives. He offers eleven practical steps on how to limit choices to a manageable number, have the discipline to focus on the important ones and ignore the rest, and ultimately derive greater satisfaction from the choices you have to make.
"The Tyranny of Pop Economics"
400 Things Cops Know shows police work on the inside, from the viewpoint of the regular cop on the beat - a profession that can range from rewarding to bizarre to terrifying, all within the course of an eight-hour shift. Written by veteran police sergeant Adam Plantinga, 400 Things Cops Know brings the listener into life the way cops experience it - a life of danger, frustration, occasional triumph, and plenty of grindingly hard routine work.
"Well Done. Misinformation present but minimal."
Something is wrong with our banking system. We all sense that, but Mervyn King knows it firsthand; his 10 years at the helm of the Bank of England, including at the height of the financial crisis, revealed profound truths about the mechanisms of our capitalist society. In The End of Alchemy, he offers us an essential work about the history and future of money and banking, the keys to modern finance.
"Two books in one, both very fine"
As Ferguson, Missouri, erupted in August 2014, and media commentators across the ideological spectrum referred to the angry response of African Americans as 'black rage', historian Carol Anderson wrote a remarkable op-ed in the Washington Post showing that this was, instead, 'white rage at work. With so much attention on the flames,' she wrote, 'everyone had ignored the kindling.'
The Antidote is a series of journeys among people who share a single, surprising way of thinking about life. What they have in common is a hunch about human psychology: that it's our constant effort to eliminate the negative that causes us to feel so anxious, insecure, and unhappy. And that there is an alternative "negative path" to happiness and success that involves embracing the things we spend our lives trying to avoid.
"The Antidote explores the negative path."
One of the great fears many of us face is that despite all our effort and striving, we will discover at the end that we have wasted our life. In A Guide to the Good Life, William B. Irvine plumbs the wisdom of Stoic philosophy, one of the most popular and successful schools of thought in ancient Rome, and shows how its insight and advice are still remarkably applicable to modern lives. In A Guide to the Good Life, Irvine offers a refreshing presentation of Stoicism, showing how this ancient philosophy can still direct us toward a better life.
"Finding your inner stoic"
From batting averages and political polls to game shows and medical research, the real-world application of statistics continues to grow by leaps and bounds. How can we catch schools that cheat on standardized tests? How does Netflix know which movies you'll like? What is causing the rising incidence of autism? As best-selling author Charles Wheelan shows us in Naked Statistics, the right data and a few well-chosen statistical tools can help us answer these questions and more.
"Statistics is like a high caliber gun, very useful"
When three-month-old Lia Lee arrived at the county hospital emergency room in Merced, California, a chain of events was set in motion from which neither she nor her parents nor her doctors would ever recover. Lia's parents, Foua and Nao Kao, were part of a large Hmong community in Merced, refugees from the CIA-run "Quiet War" in Laos.
"Good audiobook but narrator struggles with basic pronunciation"
Virtually all human societies were once organized tribally, yet over time most developed new political institutions which included a central state that could keep the peace and uniform laws that applied to all citizens. Some went on to create governments that were accountable to their constituents. We take these institutions for granted, but they are absent or are unable to perform in many of today's developing countries—with often disastrous consequences for the rest of the world.
"Best Summary of Political History I've Read"
Based on the Los Angeles Times newspaper series that won two Pulitzer Prizes, one for feature writing and another for feature photography, Enrique's Journey is the timeless story of families torn apart, the yearning to be together again, and a boy who will risk his life to find the mother he loves.
"Missing Chapter 8 and Epilogue!"
Hillary Clinton is running for president as an "advocate of women and girls", but there is another shocking side to her story that has been carefully covered up - until now. This stunning exposé reveals for the first time how Bill and Hillary Clinton systematically abused women and others - sexually, physically, and psychologically - in their scramble for power and wealth.
"Well written and seems well researched"

GSP/Silva vs Cain/JDS/Overeem
This might sound like an irrelevant question, but I was recently watching some of the older UFC's. I still remember watching the first few live back in the 90's. My question is what if the tournament format was still the same? Would we be looking at Silva or GSP in the same way?
Example, I may be wrong, but I dont see Silva beating Overeem or JDS or Cain. GSP I see losing even worse with the early rules. In no way do I think those Heavies are better than GSP, talent wise or ATG status, let alone even being close to Silva in terms of class. yet they would all beat Silva and GSP, in my opinion at least.
I guess I just find it interesting that 20 years ago, arguably, the two GOAT in The Octagon, would barely even be contenders, if the fighters from today were sent back 20 years. Any thoughts or anyone else find this interesting at all?

Canadian Stocks Decline to One-Month Low Amid Weaker Earnings
Canadian stocks fell to the lowest level in more than a month as energy shares slid amid a drop in crude and weaker-than-estimated earnings from Bombardier Inc. and Tim Hortons Inc.
Bombardier plunged 9.1 percent after pushing back initial deliveries of one of its business jets to 2014 and reporting earnings that missed analysts' estimates. Tim Hortons dropped 3 percent after announcing 2013 guidance and fourth-quarter earnings below forecasts. Suncor Energy Inc., Canada's largest energy company, and Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. lost at least 1.6 percent as crude fell the most in three months.
The Standard & Poor's/TSX Composite Index fell 74.08 points, or 0.6 percent, to 12,639.97, the lowest level since Jan. 16. The S&P/TSX has risen 1.7 percent this year.
"After the drubbing we've taken in the resource sectors, we've had a bit of shellshock," said Bob Decker, a fund manager with Aurion Capital Management, who helps manage about C$6 billion ($5.89 billion), from Toronto. "Tim Hortons, with their soft guidance and share buyback, is giving the message of slow growth to the market."
Energy and bank shares contributed the most to losses in the S&P/TSX as six of 10 industries retreated. Trading volume was 29 percent above the 30-day average.
Royal Bank of Canada, the nation's largest lender, lost 0.8 percent to C$63.96, retreating from an all-time high yesterday.
Suncor, Bombardier
Suncor dropped 1.6 percent to C$31.49, the lowest in five months, while Canadian Natural Resources sank 1.9 percent to C$29.99. Crude for April delivery tumbled 2.5 percent to $92.84 a barrel in New York, the lowest settlement this year. A U.S. government report showed crude stockpiles climbed 4.14 million barrels last week to 376.4 million, the highest since July.
Bombardier, based in Montreal, fell 39 Canadian cents to C$3.89 after pushing back initial deliveries of its Learjet 85 business aircraft and saying its train unit wouldn't meet a 2013 profit target.
The company reported adjusted fourth-quarter earnings of 10 cents a share, short of the 12-cent average analyst estimate. Bombardier said its total backlog at the end of 2013 rose to a record $66.6 billion from $55.8 billion a year earlier.
Tim Hortons, the biggest coffee and doughnuts chain in Canada, sank C$1.50 to C$49.30. The Oakville, Ontario-based company reported fourth-quarter adjusted earnings of 70 Canadian cents, compared with estimates of 71 cents.
The company forecast 2013 earnings of C$2.87 to C$2.97, below analysts' expectations of C$3. It anticipates weaker comparable sales in the first quarter due to economic concerns, a competitive environment and unfavorable weather.
Yamana Gold Inc. climbed 5 percent to C$15.43 after the gold producer reported fourth-quarter adjusted earnings of 26 cents, exceeding analysts' forecasts of 25 cents.
Chief Executive Officer Peter Marrone said in an interview with Bloomberg that he doesn't have the appetite for an acquisition and will focus on putting three mines into commercial production this year.

I have Linux hosting for dnb2b.in and also an add-on domain dnb2b.us at the same hosting account.
I installed separate instances of WordPress 2.8.3 at the following 2 locations:
Unwittingly, I used the same admin user and password for both. While adding post on the .US version I browsed the .IN version in a new tab and it came up already logged in (I had clearly logged out of it earlier). I have since changed the passwords for both, but I believe this is a bug/loophole fit to be addressed.
Must be something with the session cookies. Just for reference my browser is FireFox 3.5.2 and OS is Windows XP Prof.SP2.
Any ideas on how to prevent this? Apart from having different passwords of course ;)
