Say something about yourself!
"Wicked Boring"
Not at all. I was bored with this book. It was my first audiobook experience aside from The Hunger Games, and I think this is probably a book better read instead of listened to.
I think i will end up liking it once I move on to other books in the series and reading them instead of listening to them. Sometimes I read a book, then listen to it and I enjoy it's telling much more.
"Wickedly Weak"
While I did enjoy listening to the book, I feel that there were so many details that weren't developed or explained as well as they should have been. The storyline was great and the characters all were interesting. But I felt that they weren't developed as fully as they could have been and should have been. I finished listening to the book but it's not one of those that I feel compelled to listen to again nor have the desire to pick up its sequels. It's sad really. I had hoped for more potential.
mostly ya fiction... mostly...
"good faerie tale"
good story; this one was an interesting take on fairies; the narrator's voice for the heroine sort of annoyed me to begin with, and it changes as the book goes on. The narrator cannot pronounce words like "labret;" you would think that someone would really look up words he/she never heard before up before reading them aloud for an audiobook.
"Lovely ;)"
I would recommend this book (series) to most adults who love the fantasy genre. The mixing of Faery in every day life is something I enjoyed a whole lot. The narration was to be desired slightly. However I know the rest of the series has a male narrator and he is much better.
"My wife..."
I liked Keeane. I do chalk some of his behavior as being hindered from being binded. For some one who is suppose to run hot blood he seemed collected. But for this flaw he seemed much better then Seth
My wife liked DeVina.
I listened to this book with my wife whenever we were driving. I missed parts but she loved it
I guess i don't know enough about fairies to understand this book. I do think that a reader that has the understanding of a fairy, will enjoy this book though.
Explained things durring the story. Example: Some girl says " Hay are you going to the party" ...... What party? this is the first i have heard of any party and now its a main event?
Too confused to have one. I think you have to understand fairies a bit to enjoy this book.
I guess i don't know enough about fairies to understand this book. No suspense build up. One min a fairy can not touch iron; the next paragraph, there is one strong enough to touch iron. I guess it is a big deal, but it didnt seem like it with no build up. A few things like this struck me.
"just lovely"
well hearing it made me understand more about it then when i read in print.
i cannot compair another because this is my favorite bk series.
nope nope but this one is very good. actually one of the first audios ive listened to (kinda new too it)
the rules. they are very intimidating .
great books.
"Baby Twilight"
If you're thirteen and Twilight is your favorite series EVAR, then this is probably the book for you. I picked this up hoping for an intriguing tale of faerie folk akin to others I have read but many parts of this book are unbearably juvenile. The lead character is reminiscent of Bella Swan, although not quite to that extreme. Still, she's introverted and moody and although she deflects everyone's attentions, she stubbornly remains the subject of everyone's fantasies and desires. Seth's character is completely unrealistic and plays into the 'what teenage girls dream boys were like' category. Also, all the emphasis on !Zomg!punkfashion! and piercings was a little ridic, not to mention nearly useless to the story itself. Sometimes the story read more like sex-ed (minus the sex, all the advice).
The story is somewhat hallow. I'm trying to keep in mind that this is a YA read, but even comparing to other YA's, it was disappointing. It's an urban fantasy, which I find much more difficult to pull off. I thought the way the author was trying to portray it was actually a good, believable start, but the plot was weak and full of circumstantial or predictable acts. I never really felt like anything went particularly wrong for the characters you wanted to support, or that they had to work particularly hard to achieve their goals.
Like many of you, I love to read, but I am time-limited. Audiobooks allow me to keep up with my favorite authors. I am currently listening to 'Undead and Unstable' by MaryJanice Davidson, because 'Yours, Mine and Ours' is still not available. Grrr.
"Good but not interested"
This is a good book but..... I just can't relate to a character that has so little confidence and has to learn it. This story teaches teens about love and fear and being strong. I think I am just to old to remember having to learn these things. I do hope we can all find our Seth. I am also not really interested in fairies. The plot is good but I wish there was more action in the 1st 3/4ths of the book.
"Amazing but boring.."
I'm on my dad's account so sorry for the name haha..
I really liked this book at first it was really intresting but some of the things got reapeated and it got boring...the end was semi good though at some points i wish Aslin and kennane were together..
at the end it only really talked about Donia being the winter queen which was kind of sucky , i wanted to learn more about Aslin being summer queen not Donia the story is about her..
It's quite annyoing.

Hi all. I searched and searched but couldn't find this topic. Friends of mine want me to help them install WordPress on their website http://www.creativityinlife.com
The idea being that the home page would be the blog then the existing .index page would be renamed .home or something like that. I want to keep the current design but use the main area to display the blog information. Can this be done? and how?
Thanks in advance for your help.

They might as well sue the FDA because they put out the good report praising the vaccine just before the panel voted. The stock shot up to about $5 based on that FDA release, then the FDA panel voted against approval causing the stock to tank.

How did that ice we see not get seen by NSIDC?
Andrew Bolt
–, Sunday, August, 17, 2008, (5:21pm)
Steven Goddard checks those predictions that the North Pole could melt clear away this summer, and finds we can (yet again) relax.
Here is Saturday's satellite picture of the North Pole (right) from the University of Illinois, compared to the picture from a year earlier:
But here's the funny thing. The US National Snow and Ice Data Center refuses to be consoled:
The National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) in Boulder, Colorado released an alarming graph on August 11, showing that Arctic ice was rapidly disappearing, back towards last year's record minimum. Their data shows Arctic sea ice extent only 10 per cent greater than this date in 2007, and the second lowest on record. Here's a smaller version of the graph:
The problem is that this graph does not appear to be correct. Other data sources show Arctic ice having made a nice recovery this summer. NASA Marshall Space Flight Center data shows 2008 ice nearly identical to 2002, 2005 and 2006. Maps of Arctic ice extent are readily available from several sources, including the University of Illinois, which keeps a daily archive for the last 30 years. A comparison of these maps (derived from NSIDC data) below shows that Arctic ice extent was 30 per cent greater on August 11, 2008 than it was on the August 12, 2007. (2008 is a leap year, so the dates are offset by one.)…
The 30 per cent increase was calculated by counting pixels which contain colors representing ice. This is a conservative calculation, because of the map projection used. As the ice expands away from the pole, each new pixel represents a larger area - so the net effect is that the calculated 30 per cent increase is actually on the low side.
So how did NSIDC calculate a 10 per cent increase over 2007? Their graph appears to disagree with the maps by a factor of three (10 per cent vs. 30 per cent) - hardly a trivial discrepancy.
Dr Anthony Watt is just as surprised.
The University of Illinois' picture of the extent of the ice cover is closely matched by that of NASA nine days ago:
So how did 20 per cent of NSIDC's ice melt away? A possible explanation may lie in this NSIDC disclaimer:
Please note that our daily sea ice images, derived from microwave measurements, may show spurious pixels in areas where sea ice may not be present. These artifacts are generally caused by coastline effects, or less commonly by severe weather. Scientists use masks to minimize the number of "noise" pixels, based on long-term extent patterns. Noise is largely eliminated in the process of generating monthly averages, our standard measurement for analyzing interannual trends.
But that hardly seems sufficient to explain the discrepancy.
(Thanks to readers Ron and John.)

Mr Logic now demonstrates the extraordinary fallacy contained in this article:
Their data shows Arctic sea ice extent only 10 per cent greater than this date in 2007,
"Only" ten percent greater? The implication of this statement is that they were expecting a greater increase. Therefore, Mr Logic notes, they have quite elegantly proven that they do not believe the ice is disappearing at all.
Sun 17 Aug 08 (07:01pm)
Sun 17 Aug 08 (07:29pm)
The logic shown by Mr. Logic is, indeed, logical. This would lead me to the logical conclusion that Mr. Logic is a very logical lad. Great work Mr. Logic.
It's a great shame that all the brain-washed greenies and lefties don't apply a tad more logic to their ideals.
Sun 17 Aug 08 (09:40pm)
Alternatively they may have felt that last year's situation was so incredibly dire, that 'only' 10% better this time around is still very dire indeed. Is this not also logical (my alternative theory that is, not their dire conclusion)?
Mon 18 Aug 08 (06:13am)
But the big question is, "with all the extra CO2 being spewed into the atmosphere, shouldn't the ICE be getting smaller if the globe is getting hotter"?
We've been conned.
I await the verdict of former ALP politician, ABC journalist and green sucker, Bob Carr: surely he must have learned something post-parliament, and not having to court the favour of the media?
Sun 17 Aug 08 (07:10pm)
The usual 'chicken little' suspects will continue to ignore the evidence.
But Andrew, this isn't the best story going at the moment. Take a look at the Melbourne Writers' Festival program at http://www.mwf.com.au. There's a session on "Winning the Climate Wars" and also a session for lemmings wanting to be told which bloggers and blogs are good and which are evil (no doubt Andrew and Tim Blair will be given respectful consideration).
A week of leftist misery, navel gazing and self-flagellation has been organised with the likes of Germain Greer, John Pilger, Antony Lowenstein, Don Watson, Max Gilles, Bruce Petty, Julian Burnside and...wait for it, Paul Keating.
All this idiocy will be kicked off appropriately with a session entitled "Australia Felix" with the following explanatory blurb: "Mark Davis argues that the Australian dream of a pluralist society was betrayed under the 10 years of Howard's government. With Judith Brett he discusses with chair, Jeff Sparrow how best to rebuild that dream." No debate of course, just discussion and vehement agreement among the participants. My God, an entire week of dull, boring, self-absorbed congregation of humourless lefties who will be given due reverence and column yards by The Age.
Sun 17 Aug 08 (07:26pm)
Mon 18 Aug 08 (08:57am)
"who will be given due reverence and column yards by The Age."
Gleefully, and with appropriate laudatory comments and editorials, basking in every intellectual word.
Well Janine we are getting closer to see who wins the $300 bet that the sea ice will not be a record low this year. Even with the shonky NSIDC graphs.
This bet will be very interesting because no-one is holding the cash. There is more on the line here than the sea ice though as this whole bolg community is aware of this bet, the most important thing on the line is integrity!
We should know in about 6 weeks.
Sun 17 Aug 08 (07:27pm)
For heavens sake Andrew stop making an international fool of yourself. Even your own graph at seven_graphs_to_end_the_warming_hype shows a steady decline of Arctic sea ice since 1980. So what if this season's a bit cooler; one swallow does not a summer make.
Sun 17 Aug 08 (07:31pm)
Sun 17 Aug 08 (09:43pm)
I thought that was the whole point of the AGW argument, that the models showed continuous warming .. with no plateaus or holdup, certainly no reversals .. now you admit there might be some cooling, that's good of you to concede - we all welcome some logical thinking here! Well Done .. keep it up.
Sun 17 Aug 08 (09:51pm)
So what if the artic ice is decreasing - where is the proof that the melting ice is melting due to man made influences and not by some strange NATURAL event - like its summer.
Sun 17 Aug 08 (10:21pm)
Now Mike 'Fruitcakes' on your side of the argument are saying there will be no ice left in the Arctic in 3 years.
I am no expert but at as there is more ice this year than last I reckon that one years indication is relevant.
Incidently do you believe there will be no ice left within three years?
Mon 18 Aug 08 (12:09am)
Yeah Andrew! Stop posting facts for the whole world to see! You might prove something! Don't you get it!
Mon 18 Aug 08 (12:09am)
Where is the proof? The proof is in the oceans. If the earth was being cooked from the outside, the oceans would be warming and CO2 would be coming out (outgassing).
It's not happening. The CO2 concentration in the oceans is increasing, as excess atmospheric CO2 enters the sea. So much so that it's causing ocean acidification as the CO2 generates Carbonic Acid.
Have I explained that at a level basic enough for Andrew to understand?
Mon 18 Aug 08 (08:16am)
Mike, the reason the artic ice is melting is due to the artic water temps increasing, but it is increasing because of hot water vents below the ice shelf are active - this is a natural event.
Mon 18 Aug 08 (10:26am)
Thanks Que for confirming that the Arctic ice is melting, the long term trend of which is confirmed at seven_graphs_to_end_the_warming_hype. Whatever the cause, my point is that Andrew can't have it both ways. On July 18th he showed us that the Arctic ice had steadily melted since 1980. Now he says it's not. He reminds me of that Bigfoot guy; first he says he's found the body, now the dna shows it's an opossum. Check the facts Andrew
That reminds me. A few weeks ago I read that some guy was cannoing to the North Pole to demonstrate how global-warming had melted all the ice.
Since his trip was obviously a failure, I wonder what has become of the publicity his trip was attracting. Seems they're happy to report a departure, but never report the early returns of these failed adventurers despite the good news their early return brings.
Sun 17 Aug 08 (07:48pm)
Sorry....me again.
Here is the link I just found to this guys website. Seems he is leaving soon on the 27th August.
I can't wait to see the masses of publicity he attracts when he finds that it's easier to walk.

Sun 17 Aug 08 (09:12pm)
Quite right Claire, and I wonder what the twit will be wearing? BTW on a similar stunt for illustrative purposes; last year some time, some dickheads from Melbourne(?) were going to envelop some trees and pump in CO2 to show the evils of the dastardly gas. Did anyone hear of or read any results?
Mon 18 Aug 08 (01:18am)
I hope someone follows up on this, Claire.
August 27 seems an optimistic departure time, seeing many observers in the higher latitudes of the northern hemisphere agree that summer has been a short one and winter is closing in early.
Even in the warmer years when the ice was relatively open, it has always closed up quickly. My brother had an interesting passage in August 1996 as crew on a smallish Canadian boat. That was a fairly open year and they narrowly escaped being iced in.
Many anecdotal and scientific accounts can be found in James P. Delgado's book, "Across The Top Of The World: The Quest For the North West Passage" ISBN 0-7141-2545-8,
Douglas & McIntyre Ltd Canada/British University Press.
The search for a NW Passage apparently began in northern Europe in the 1570s (in the beginnings of the little ice age) after the Portugese/Spanish/British/Dutch/French had begun to build significant navies and trade fleets.
The legend of the NW passage was based on anecdotal evidence of viking voyages from the medieval warm period.
Unfortunately, the little ice age happened. Captain Cook tried, Franklin tried, whalers tried, but it wasn't until August 17, 1905, that Roald Amundsen finally did the trick across the whole stretch after the north-western goldrush. (GW, eh?)
Nobody really bothered with the high arctic for anything other than fishin' and huntin' until after WW2, when geopolitical, military and resources issues came to the fore. As they remain today.
I hope the idiot in the kayak has more sense than those unfortunate dopes who tried to kayak across the Tasman and were lost almost in sight of land.
Cheers MS
Scientists use masks to minimize the number of "noise" pixels…
But, Andrew, they're scientists!
Sun 17 Aug 08 (08:08pm)
Sun 17 Aug 08 (08:55pm)
Exactly. They're doing what any good scientist should - get rid of noise. Otherwise you might end up with a hockey stick - nothing but noise.
The commentry noting sceptical blogs as well as AGW blogs is that both sides are cherry picking. This assertion annoys me extremely. Just how on earth is a satelite shot of the arctic cherry picking ?
The AGW cult are modellers. They do little to check validity. They claim that when CO2 gets to 450 ppm, the earth will warm 3C. This is CO2 concentration that trigerred the last ice age according to Brooks. In the past CO2 has been upto 10,000 ppm if some claims are correct. Was the earth then molten rock everywhere ? These people are all over the place.
What sort of researcher doesn't bother to validate his models ???? A downright incompetent one. Hence the models going skew since 1998.
Sun 17 Aug 08 (08:19pm)
Better hope the ice is still there because 60 minutes is about to warn/m us that the planet is on a knife edge!
I'm not going to bother to point that Global energy demands is increasing at a rate far in excess of so called renewable energy growth. Oh bugger I guess I just did!
Oh the humanity, oops I mean the polar bear manity.
Sun 17 Aug 08 (08:30pm)
I don't think there is much of a discrepancy here. The main difference is in the ice coloured red on the maps, which if you check the scale means patchy ice with only 50% coverage. Allowing for that the '30% increase' will be considerably lower, and if you read the actual NSIDC release the NSIDC figure described as "10%" is really about 14%.
That said, there is more ice than last year. However there is no need to exaggerate, and I don't think the NSIDC are trying to trick anyone.
Sun 17 Aug 08 (08:38pm)
"...and I don't think the NSIDC are trying to trick anyone."
I don't think that anyone is suggesting that. Only that somehow their data doesn't match other data. Particularly when that other data, in this case, is visually different from their data, and difficult to dispute - it's not just a graph.
At the very least, that should give people pause to consider that there are different types of relevant data, and looking at one set in isolation is not a very smart thing to do if you are then going to draw conclusions that will affect millions of lives, such as introducing an ETS.
Sun 17 Aug 08 (11:45pm)
So how did NSIDC calculate a 10 per cent increase over 2007? Their graph appears to disagree with the maps by a factor of three (10 per cent vs. 30 per cent) - hardly a trivial discrepancy.
Apples with oranges I think. The first measurement is a 10% increase in the sea-ice extent (area of ocean with ice concentration of at least 15 percent). I'm not clear what the second measure is - # of white pixels - does 4% ice concentration reflect as a white pixel? But there is no mentions that it is 15% ice concentration.
We are currently only 10% off the record Arctic sea-ice minimum, which was only last year, and the trend line is now suddenly worming towards that record line. It is not something we should feel complacent about.

Is it just me or do others also sense some wavering in Janine's tone? She's not her usual 100% correct militant self.
As each day goes by, it's getting harder isn't it Janine.
Mon 18 Aug 08 (12:58pm)
Sorry kids - it is a bit of a red herring.
Firstly, Goddard's article makes some clumsy fumbles on the difference between ice extent and ice area - they are not the same.
Area is the sum of pixels with over 15% sea ice concentration weighted by the percentage of ice coverage in that pixel and Extent is the sum of pixels with over 15% sea ice concentration - hence the extent at minima is always greater then the area
With the ice getting thinner (observed, so let's not quibble on this one) extent may miss the drop in concentration because there will be more pixels with less than 100% but more than 15%. When Goddard talks pixels he is talking the end product, NOT the base derivation for the raw data, which is what NSIDC uses (and CT - Cryosphere Today.
So what is happening up there? Most recent calculations show MORE ice - but more melt than 2007… Yes, that does sound contradictory, but the 2008 start point was higher (greater levels of fresh water ice) 13.9 (million^2 km) for Mar 2008 than the 13.3 level of Mar 2007. The comparison points for yesterday show 3.4 (2008) vs 3.1 (2007). This means a 10.5 (2008) vs 10.2 (2007) melt for the same period. The current wind profile combined with thin ice (less resistant to this weather pattern) is responsible for the majority of the increase in the melt seen by CT and NSIDC over the last month.
Goddard is quite simply wrong and confused in his statement of 30% (he is a noted grandstander though, so another headline to him- hooray). He is counting pixels from the end product at CT…
Mon 18 Aug 08 (09:03pm)
It's 10% off the the same date last year, not the minimum of last year. I suspect that the real problem here is a number of "alarmists" do cherry picking of their own. Specifically, they cite anomolus years, like 1998 and last year's Arctic Ice extent, or extreme freak events, like Hurricane Katrina, as absolute unequivocal PROOF of Global Warming and climate change. But if the year, or event, turns out to be a freak one, having cited it as the damning evidence, you cannot suddenly say that, oh well, it was just a freak, and the fact that following years are cooler, more icy, or less stormy "isn't significant". In both 1998 and the extent of Arctic Ice, it was the alarmists who set the bar, and then failed to leap over it.
You are quite right that it is the trends that are the important thing, but it is the politically minded harpies screaming about an individual event (such as the recent drought) who are setting the argument up for a fall, by making claims they must know they cannot ultimately prove or verify. If you don't like AB citing the fact that years since 1998 have been cooler, then blame first those people who went around citing the high temperatures as the definitive proof. If the proof turns out to be bogus, you're going to get people thinking that the theory is unsound.
Andrew, Thanks for the link and the regular notice. But I should offer a correction. I am not a PhD, thus "Dr." would not be an appropriate title for me. And also "Watts" is the preferred spelling. No worries, I just prefer the record reflect who I am.

Andrew Bolt's Mantra that he keeps on repeating like a religious mantra in every second blog....
The world hasn't warmed since 1998!
The world hasn't warmed since 1998!!
The world hasn't warmed since 1998!!!
I concede that this year is colder than last year and you would expect more ice at the North Pole this year!
But Using Andrew Bolt's reference, please compare Saturday's satellite image with the one from the same day ten years ago in 1998.
If the world hasn't warmed since 1998, how come there was significantly less ice at the North Pole on Saturday than there was in 1998?

Hi, hope someone can help...
First and foremost php is not my forte but I hope you at least get the gist of where I'm trying to head with this...
I want to spit out a little loop of post assigned to a category. Rather than code the category ID into a page template I need it so the client can change the category within the admin area.
So, I would like to add a custom_field named 'category' where one will simply enter the slug of the category they wish the loop to be published from.
This is what I have (and doesn't work)
<?php $category = get_post_meta($posts->ID, 'category', true);
$query = new WP_Query( 'category_name=$category' );
while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post();
echo '<li>';
echo '</li>';
// Reset Post Data
My humble thanks in advance :)

Horses (album)
|Studio album by Patti Smith
|December 13, 1975
|Electric Lady Studios in New York City, New York
|Punk rock, art punk, garage rock
|John Cale
|Patti Smith chronology
|Singles from Horses
Horses is the debut studio album by American musician Patti Smith, released on December 13, 1975 on Arista Records. Smith, a fixture of the then-burgeoning New York punk rock music scene, began recording Horses with her band in 1975 after being signed to Arista Records, with John Cale being enlisted to produce the album. With its fusion of simplistic rock and roll structures and Smith's freeform, Beat poetry-infused lyrics, Horses was met with widespread critical acclaim upon its initial release. Despite a lack of airplay or a popular single to support the album, it nonetheless experienced modest commercial success, managing a top 50 placing on the US Billboard 200.
Horses has since been viewed by critics as one of the greatest and most influential albums in the history of the American punk rock movement, as well as one of the greatest albums of all time. Horses has also been cited as a key influence on a number of succeeding punk, post-punk, and alternative rock acts, including Siouxsie and the Banshees, R.E.M., The Smiths, and Garbage.
Background and recording[edit]
At the time she recorded Horses, Patti Smith and her band were favorites in the New York underground club scene along with acts such as Blondie and the Ramones.
According to Smith, Horses was a conscious attempt "to make a record that would make a certain type of person not feel alone. People who were like me, different… I wasn't targeting the whole world. I wasn't trying to make a hit record."[1] Guest musicians on the album included Tom Verlaine of Television and Allen Lanier of Blue Öyster Cult.
Music and lyrics[edit]
Smith's reworking of Them's song "Gloria" is representative of the album's garage rock and poetry influences.

In Smith's own words, Horses was conceived as "three-chord rock merged with the power of the word".[2] Steve Huey of AllMusic calls Horses "essentially the first art punk album."[3] Smith and her band's sound, spearheaded by the rudimentary guitar work of Lenny Kaye, drew on the simple aesthetics of garage rock,[4] and the group's use of simplistic chord structures was emblematic of the punk rock scene associated with the band.[5] Smith, however, used such structures as a basis for lyrical and musical improvisation in the album's songs, diverging from other contemporary punk acts who generally shied away from solos.[5] Horses drew on genres such as rock and roll, reggae, and jazz.[6] "Redondo Beach" features a reggae backing track,[7] while "Birdland" owed more to jazz, which Smith's mother enjoyed, than to the influence of punk. When recording the latter song, which was improvised by the band in Electric Lady Studios, Smith has said she imagined the spirit of Jimi Hendrix watching her.
Reflecting Smith's background as a poet, the album's lyrics channel the French Symbolism movement, incorporating influences from the works of Charles Baudelaire, William Blake, and Smith's long-time idol Arthur Rimbaud,[8] and recall the "revolutionary spirit" of Rimbaud and resonate with the energy of Beat poetry, according to CMJ's Steve Klinge.[9] Several of the album's songs—"Redondo Beach", "Free Money", "Kimberly"—were inspired by moments with members of Smith's family, while others—"Break It Up", "Elegie"—were written about her idols. "Break It Up" was about Jim Morrison, deceased lead singer of The Doors, and it was a combination of Smith's dream about him and her visit of Morrison's grave in Père Lachaise Cemetery, Paris.[10] The lyrics of "Birdland" are based upon A Book of Dreams, a 1973 memoir of Wilhelm Reich by his son Peter. Horses features two adaptations of songs by other artists: "Gloria", a radical retake on the Them song incorporating verses from Smith's own poem "Oath",[6] and "Land", already a live favorite, which features the first verse of Chris Kenner's "Land of a Thousand Dances" and contains a tribute to Arthur Rimbaud.[11]
The cover photograph for Horses was taken using natural light by American photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, a close friend of Smith's, at the Greenwich Village penthouse apartment of his partner Sam Wagstaff.[12][13] Smith is depicted wearing a plain white shirt which she had purchased at the Salvation Army on the Bowery and slinging a black jacket over her shoulder and her favorite black ribbon around her collar.[13] Embedded on the jacket is a horse pin that Smith's friend Allen Lanier had given her.[13] Smith has described her pose on the cover as "a mix of Baudelaire and Sinatra."[14] The record company wanted to make various changes to the photo, but Smith overruled such attempts.[12] The black and white treatment and unisex pose were a departure from the typical promotional images of "girl singers" of the time,[15] but Smith maintains that she "wasn't making a big statement. That's just the way I dressed."[14]
Writer Camille Paglia described the album's cover as "one of the greatest pictures ever taken of a woman."[16]
Critical reception[edit]
Upon initial release, Horses was met with near-universal acclaim from music critics and publications.[17] In a contemporary review for Rolling Stone, John Rockwell wrote that Horses is "wonderful in large measure because it recognizes the over-whelming importance of words" in Smith's work, covering a range of concerns "far beyond what most rock records even dream of", and highlighted Smith's adaptions of rock standards as the most striking songs on the record.[18] Robert Christgau gave Horses an A– grade in The Village Voice and remarked that while the album does not capture Smith's humor, it "gets the minimalist fury of her band and the revolutionary dimension of her singing just fine."[19] He later ranked it at number 38 on his list of the best albums of the 1970s.[20]
Horses' mix of philosophical elements in Smith's songwriting and rock and roll elements in its music attracted some polarizing reactions, however.[17] Reaction to the album from the British music press in particular was mixed.[17] A review of Horses from Melody Maker dismissed the album as "precisely what's wrong with rock and roll right now."[17] On the other hand, Jonh Ingham of Sounds published a five-star review of Horses, naming it "the record of the year" and "one of the most stunning, commanding, engrossing platters to come down the turnpike since John Lennon's Plastic Ono Band".[21] Charles Shaar Murray of NME called it "an album in a thousand" and "an important album in terms of what rock can encompass without losing its identity as a musical form, in that it introduces an artist of greater vision than has been seen in rock for far too long."[22]
At the end of 1975, Horses was voted the second best album of the year, behind Bob Dylan and The Band's The Basement Tapes, in the Pazz & Jop, an annual poll of American critics nationwide, published in The Village Voice.[23] NME placed it at number thirteen on their year-end list of 1975's best albums.[24] Commercially, the album performed modestly well, managing a top 50 peak on the Billboard 200 chart despite receiving virtually no airplay.[25]

Chris Jones of BBC Music wrote that the album was a "shock to the system" at the time of its release and still "retains its power to this day."[36] Horses established Smith as one of the biggest names of the New York punk rock scene, alongside contemporary acts such as the Ramones, Blondie and Talking Heads,[37] and it has since been cited as the first significant punk rock album.[38] Horses is considered one of the key recordings of the early punk rock movement[39] and a landmark for punk and new wave music in general, inspiring a "raw, almost amateurish energy for the former and critical, engaging reflexivity for the latter," according to writer Chris Smith in his book 101 Albums That Changed Popular Music.[25] AllMusic's William Ruhlmann said that it "isn't hard to make the case for Patti Smith as a punk rock progenitor based on Horses",[26] while Greg Simpson of Punknews.org called the album a "raw yet poetic slice of the CBGB's scene from a woman who beat the Ramones in releasing the first 'punk' record."[40]
Q magazine included it in its list of the 100 greatest punk albums.[41] NME put Horses at first place in its list of "20 Near-as-Damn-It Perfect Initial Efforts", and it has also ranked on various lists of the greatest albums of the 1970s.[42] In addition to these accolades, Horses has also been considered one of the finest albums in recorded music history.[43] In 2003, the album was ranked number 44 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.[44] In 2006, Time named it as one of the All-TIME 100 Albums,[45] and three years later, it was preserved by the Library of Congress into the National Recording Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."[46]
Various recording artists have specifically named Horses as an influence on their music.[37] English post-punk band Siouxsie and the Banshees said that the song "Carcass" from their album The Scream, was inspired by Horses.[47] Michael Stipe of R.E.M. bought the album as a high school student and says that it "tore [his] limbs off and put them back on in a whole different order," citing Smith as his primary inspiration for becoming a musician.[17] Morrissey and Johnny Marr shared an appreciation for the record, and one of their early compositions for The Smiths, "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle", is a reworking of "Kimberly".[48] Courtney Love of Hole has stated that Horses helped inspire her to become a rock musician.[49]

Lexus GX 460: Consumer Reports Hits Toyota With Rare 'Don't Buy' Recommendation
Mired in bad publicity about its safety record, Toyota received another blow Tuesday morning when Consumer Reports gave the 2010 Lexus GX 460 SUV a "don't buy" recommendation.
Four of the magazine's auto engineers found a safety risk during their standard emergency-handling tests.
The magazine said the "don't buy" designation is rare and the last time a vehicle's performance was considered not acceptable was with the 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Limited.
In this case, the Lexus luxury sport-utility vehicle "slid out until the vehicle was almost sideways before the electronic stability control system was able to regain control," the magazine said in a statement. The electronic stability control system is designed to prevent vehicles from sliding out in a turn.
In a real world driving situation such as exiting a highway ramp, the condition could cause a serious rollover accident, Consumer Reports said in a statement. "Because the GX is a tall SUV with a high center of gravity, our concern for rollover safety is heightened," the magazine said.
The magazine's auto engineers performed the test on all 95 SUVs the company has ratings on, and said: "No other in recent years slid out as far as the GX 460, including the Toyota 4Runner, which shares the same platform as the GX."
In the first three months of the year, Toyota has sold about 4,800 of the Lexus SUV.
The bad recommendation couldn't come at a worse time for Toyota, which is trying to fight back against concerns that its Toyota and Lexus products are prone to sudden acceleration.
"We're concerned with the results of Consumer Reports testing on the Lexus GX 460," Lexus spokesman Bill Kwong said in an email. "Our engineers conduct similar tests and we feel these procedures provide a good indication of how our vehicles will perform in the real-world."
Kwong said the auto maker will try to duplicate the tests to determine if any adjustments steps need to be made, and noted that the vehicle "meets or exceeds" all federal testing requirements.
"Customer safety and satisfaction remain our highest priorities," Kwong said. "We take the Consumer Reports test results seriously and appreciate Consumer Reports bringing it to our attention."
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the federal agency overseeing vehicle testing, Tuesday cautioned drivers of the vehicle "to avoid excessive speed and aggressive maneuvering in order to maintain control of their vehicles," according to an email from Julia Piscitelli, NHTSA Director of Communications.
The agency is in the process of making sure the Lexus SUV complies with the agency's safety standard for electronic stability control. "It is our belief that (electronic stability control) should prevent the kind of fishtail event described," Piscitelli said.

000 AXPZ20 KNHC 251619 TWDEP Tropical Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 1605 UTC Thu Aug 25 2016 Tropical Weather Discussion for the eastern Pacific Ocean from the Equator to 32N, east of 140W. The following information is based on satellite imagery, weather observations, radar, and meteorological analysis. Based on 1200 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through 1515 UTC. ...SPECIAL FEATURES... Tropical Storm Lester is located near 16.6N 112.5W at 1500 UTC, or about 155 nm to the south-southwest of Socorro Island, or about 405 nm to the south-southwest of the southern tip of Baja California. Lester is moving WNW or 295 deg at 10 kt with maximum sustained winds of 45 kt gusting to 55 kt. The estimated minimum central pressure is 1002 mb. Lester has strengthened modestly in the past 6 hours, with improved presentation in satellite imagery. Numerous strong convection is occurring within 60 nm across the NW and 45 nm across the SE semicircles, while scattered moderate to strong convection is elsewhere within 120 nm of the center. Lester is producing bands of thunderstorms and strong winds to around 25 kt across the outer waters offshore of Cabo Corrientes this morning, with seas 8-10 ft. Lester is expected to continue moving west-northwest and away from the Mexican offshore waters tonight as it gradually strengthens to a hurricane by Friday morning. Please read the NHC forecast/advisory under AWIPS/WMO headers MIATCMEP3/WTPZ23 KNHC or the public bulletin under MIATCPEP3/ WTPZ33 KNHC for more details. A broad tropical wave is moving along the monsoon trough in the vicinity of 129W-131W, moving westward near 15 knots. A 1008 mb low pressure center is suggested near 11.5N129W. Scattered to numerous strong convection has developed in recent hours within 360 nm across the NW semicircle, while scattered moderate to strong convection was elsewhere along the monsoon trough within 120 nm of the center. Fresh NE trade winds cover the area from 13N to 19N from 124W westward, where seas are running 6-9 ft. Environmental conditions are conducive for continued gradual improvement in organization of this system. It has a medium chance for tropical cyclone development during the next 48 hours before crossing 140W by 72 hrs. ...TROPICAL WAVES... No additional waves at this time. ...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH... The monsoon trough extends from 10N74W to 08N79W to 09N85W to 10N106W. Scattered to numerous moderate to strong convection is noted from 05N to 08N east of 88W...and within 150 nm south ofthe trough between 93W and 110W. ...DISCUSSION... OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO... A narrow surface ridge extends from the NE Pacific southeastward through 30N129W to north of Lester near 21N113W. This ridge will change little through the upcoming weekend, and combine with the persistent trough meandering along the Baja California peninsula and Gulf of California, to produce mainly light to moderate northerly flow prevailing outside of the Gulf of California. Expect mainly light to gentle southerly flow In the Gulf of California, except for occasionally fresh wind flow in the northern Gulf where the pressure gradient will be slightly tighter. High pressure in the Gulf of Mexico continues to drive 20-30 kt northerly winds across the Gulf of Tehuantepec where seas have built to 6-10 ft. These winds and seas will diminish modestly today and persist through tonight before falling to less than 20 kt by Friday afternoon. OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA, AND WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR... Moderate to locally fresh offshore winds are expected across most of the area east of 95W and north of the monsoon trough today through the early afternoon hours. Global models suggest that a weak surface trough will develop just east of the Gulf of Tehuantepec by tonight and help to draw the southwesterly winds occurring south of the monsoon trough northward into these coastal areas. A light and variable onshore flow is thus expected to prevail through the weekend. ELSEWHERE... A broad surface ridge covers the remainder of the area, extending from a large 1036 mb high near 49N142W. The low pressure center that is along 129W and its associated tropical wave will move westward during the next few days. The pressure gradient between this lower pressure and the ridge will yield fresh winds across the trade wind belt, generally from 21N southward to near the trough, from just to the northeast of the low center to beyond 140W. Sea ranging from 6 feet to 8 feet in this area in mixed swell will increase slightly to 7 to 9 feet during this time. A large area of fresh southwesterly monsoonal flow is supporting seas of 6 to 8 feet from 07N northward between 115W and 125W. The strength and areal coverage of these fresh winds will increase to the south and southeast of the low center as it shifts westward during the next few days. $$ Stripling

Wilmer Chamberlain
Published: Tuesday, February 8, 2011 at 9:52 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 8, 2011 at 9:52 a.m.
Wilmer "Bill" Joseph Chamberlain, 71, a native of Supreme and a resident of Houma, died Saturday, Feb. 5, 2011.
Visitation will be from 9 a.m. to funeral time Wednesday at Holy Rosary Catholic Church. Mass will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday at the church, with burial in the church cemetery.
He is survived by his wife, Beverly Ruth LeBlanc; one son, Chad Anthony Chamberlain; one brother-in-law, Richard Daigle; two daughters, Rhonda and husband, Tim Hollier, and Gina and husband, John Thibodaux; four grandchildren, Dustin, Vincent, and Casey Hollier and Kody Thibodaux; one sister-in-law, Betty Chamberlain; and nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents, William and Regina Landry Chamberlain; one grandson, Dallas James Hollier; one brother, William Chamberlain Jr.; and one sister, Rudoyle Daigle.
He was a parishioner of Holy Rosary Catholic Church and a member of Knights of Columbus.
Wilmer "Bill" Chamberlain was a master machinist and owner of several fabrication ventures. His marriage to his true love of 51 years, Beverly LeBlanc Chamberlain was filled with joy and sadness. Together they overcame many of life's heartaches and trials. They spent the last 23 years caring for their invalid son, Chad. Bill was an instrumental guiding light for his children, grandchildren and friends. They could always go to him for advice and a cheerful word. He helped many of his friends in time of need and never asked any in return. Bill had many pets and especially loved his chocolate lab "Brandy". His joys were hunting, spending time on his property and most of all, his family. Bill's sudden passing has affected many lives and he will be missed tremendously. "May the Lord Bless and keep Bill forever"
Falgout Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.

I have a huge headache trying to figure out how to get the More tag to work as I try and cut down the size of my posts. I am fairly knew to this and my knowledge of PHP stuff is limited. Some background:
Blog: savagedome.com
Theme: FTThemes Dot News.
I have read tons of forums about adding the word tag. When I do, it does cut down the post to an excerpt and adds the tag where I want but there is not "read more" link.
I have read about this code that many have added:
global $more;
$more = 0;
<?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $id, $size, $attr ); ?>
<?php the_content('Read more...'); ?>
Problem is I am not great at code and nobody ever tells you WHERE to put the code. Very frustrating.
So I would very much appreciate any help but if you are going to show me code can you be very clear as to where it goes, I mean "it goes here, before or after this and that" if you know what I mean? Thanks!

Picnic Tip: How To Make a Watermelon Sling
We start by laying a large flour sack dishtowel out on our table. We made a quick diagram (above) because although this is a simple thought, it's best drawn instead of photographed, as you will soon see.
Using your average and most basic knot, tie corners 1 & 3 together. Next tie corners 2 & 4 down over the first knot. Once more tie 1 & 3 to hold the whole thing tight. You will now be able to pick up all 4 corners and sling it over your shoulder (like a continental soldier) as you head out the door.
The knots keep it from rolling around the floorboards or seats of your car as you drive to your destination (hell hath no furry like a watermelon on the loose!). It will still turn until it hits the knot, but shouldn't go sailing around under your feet. If you're walking to your party, it's easy to pick up by it's handles and carry without the fear of slipping and splattering on the ground.
Wrap it up in your favorite dishtowel and leave it with the hostess, or bring a second one just for her to enjoy once all the guests have gone. If you don't have a dish towel large enough, try using a reuseable grocery sack, making sure the seams will hold the weight of your chosen melon!

Hi there,
Working on a client's website at the moment and wanted a gallery I could make easy for the client to manage but still work into the design.
URL: http://tanks.summitweb.net
(there's a small slide-show on the home page, but the main one is on the 'Gallery' page)
The issue is that when I select a non thickbox effect (e.g. Lightbox) it doesn't work.
Other threads where this was stated suggested
1. ensure wp_head() is in header.php - this is the case
2. ensure wp_footer() is in footer.php - this is the case
3. ensure no conflicting lightbox script - there isn't
Both instances are generated using short-code, nothing is put into template files.
Any help you can be would be appreciated,
Many thanks,
Martin Oxby

A Medford man who stabbed his wife on Christmas Day was sentenced to 7 1/2 years in prison for attempted murder today.
Antoine Ramone Coleman, 45, initially walked away from the plea deal on Monday, which included dropping charges of first-degree assault and second-degree assault.
Jackson County Circuit Court Judge Kelly Ravassipour gave him until 11:30 a.m. today to make his final decision on the plea.
When he returned to court today, she sentenced Coleman, giving him credit for time served in the Jackson County Jail, where he has been lodged since Christmas, and tacking on three years of post-prison supervision.
Addressing the court, Coleman said he was in a methamphetamine-induced "stupor, completely crazed," when he stabbed his wife multiple times first with a steak knife that broke during the violent assault and then a butcher knife.
"I'm sorry ... I love you," he told 37-year-old Annette Coleman, who was present during the sentencing.

For the first time this season, Newton and Eastside's basketball teams will face-off, continuing a rivalry that has been a thing since Eastside was established in the mid '90s. The Lady Rams are 4-1 and the boys are undefeated at 5-0. The Eagles haven't played as many games yet, but both the girls and boys are 1-1.
After starting their seasons with a loss over Thanksgiving Break, the boys' and girls' basketball teams of Eastside came back with a vengeance on Tuesday against Riverdale.
Eastside softball is represented well on the 2014 4-AAAA All-Region team. Caitlin Ray (infield), Madison Hopper (pitcher) and Bailey Stewart (catcher) were all named to the first team. McKenzie Powell (infield) and Brittany Medlin (outfield) were named to the second team. The Lady Eagles finished their season with a record of 16-6.
Sonya Hopper couldn't hold back the tears anymore. Sonya's daughter, Madison Hopper, was signing to attend Emmanuel College on Thursday afternoon and it brought them both to tears as Sonya spoke about Madison's journey in front of a large crowd of family and friends.
Eastside's offense has been prolific all season, but when it was shutout in the first half against Thomson, things looked dreary for the Eagles. The system was working fine. Eagles' receivers were dropping balls, quarterback Austin Holloway missed on a few throws and Eastside kept turning the ball over.
Both Newton County playoff teams advance in a wild Friday night of football.
Davonta Jones, Carlos Huggins and Jazztin Jefferson have been named the Newton, Eastside and Alcovy athletes of the week respectively.
Perennial state power Griffin rolled into Homer Sharp Stadium Friday night. And though Eastside gave them all they could handle, in the end it was too much Malik Miller and too much Bears defense as they defeated the Eagles 48-28 on the first really chilly night of the football season.
Eastside's boys basketball team was probably the best team in the county last year. The Eagles had a 15-game winning streak at one point and finished the season with a 23-4 record before falling flat in the region championship and the first round of state.
The Lady Eagles of Eastside had led for most of the game, but Chestatee took its first lead with six minutes left in the fourth quarter of the region championship. The rest of the story you should already know. A back and forth battle ensued for the rest of the fourth, but Chestatee scored the final points and got the win after Eastside had taken a 50-49 lead with 38 seconds to play.
Playoff positioning was on the line this Friday night for some and others just wanted to end their season on a good note.
On a cold and windy Saturday night at Homer Sharp stadium, there was an amazing high school football game played as Eastside took on Walnut Grove for a chance to play in the region final next week versus Griffin. It was a back and forth affair, and close at the end but Eastside pulled it out defeating Walnut Grove 25-22.
Eastside ran over Hampton on Friday with its 47-14 win. Carlos Huggins ran for two touchdowns and the Eagles' defense was making plays all over the field, including some huge hits against Hampton. The defense also recovered at least four fumbles, and took advantage of Hampton's giveaways.
There were some dominating performances in this week's football matchups.
Eastside (4-2, 2-2) started off its region schedule this year with two tough losses Griffin and Jonesboro. But since then, Eagles' head coach Rick Hurst has gotten his team back on track and focused on making a push for the state playoffs.

Melbourne, Sep 17 (ANI): Aussie singer Natalie Imbruglia has filmed herself half-naked in the video for her new single 'Want', after she revealed that she was going to get sexy for new record 'Come To Life'.
The video has since been a hit on the net, unlike her song, which has struggled for support from radio stations in Australia and the UK.
The video also features Imbruglia's face stained by tears and mascara, and just hours before shooting it, she revealed the clip was going to be "pretty full-on".
"Once again, it's not what people would expect me to do. It's just me in the video so it's going to be intense; very personal, very raw and it's pushing me out of my comfort zone," the Daily Telegraph quoted her as saying.
"I always look at videos as a chance to make mini-movie so emotionally, this one is stretching me a bit," she added. (ANI)
