The last several days brought rain across Oklahoma, but the heavy rain missed central Oklahoma and Oklahoma City. Officially, Oklahoma City only picked up .17 inches of rain on Thursday. Just down the H.E. Bailey Turnpike, the city of Chickasha received 1.44 inches of rain.
The highest rainfall amounts in the last three days include:
- 2.44 inches in Woodward
- 2.37 inches in Slapout
- 1.85 inches in Walters
- 1.77 inches in Acme
Click the image above to see the three-day rain totals courtesy of the Oklahoma Mesonet.
Even though a typical September brings a second wet season to Oklahoma, the next 10-days for Oklahoma is looking very hot and very dry.

How easy is it to abandon WordPress templates completely?
I have a site into which I want to integrate WordPress, but it would need to live in and around amongst much other code. WordPress would power small pieces on certain pages, but it would never be the sole focal point of an entire page.
I've done a little work with this in a plugin:
$lastFivePosts = get_posts('');
foreach ($lastFivePosts as $post)
//Stuff here
But the whole plugin thing would get a little unwieldly. Is there an existing PHP API (not the plugin API) that would let you access WordPress posts and such from outside the system? Obviously, the code above works solely because its runs in the context of WordPress, with all the include files and such that it entails.
I know I could do raw SQL -- and I will without other options -- but I was hoping someone else had done something similar.

Problem comes in when I didn't receive anything to remind me that I did this. Three months later I figured out that Simple Escapes is charging me $14.95 a month for nothing. I get on the phone and have spent quite some time til I could get to a human being. I also tried their so-called web site; dealpass.com, and surprising but I'm not the only one who can't find it. Anyways, the "human beings" will refund the last charge but forget about the prior charges.
They will not resend any information, they deny having the "special offer", the shopping card and when I state that I'm just screwed out of my money, they will state over and over that they are just following policy. Please, I'm embarassed to admit I did this, but what to get the info out there so others won't fall prey. Let my mistake be a savings to someone else. DO NOT CLICK ON POP UPS!!!!

The Statistics library provides fundamental statistical operations such as minimum, maximum, mean, variance, and standard deviation. Most blocks in the Statistics library support two types of operations; basic and running.
The blocks listed below toggle between basic and running modes using the Running check box in the parameter dialog box:
An unselected Running check box means that the block is operating in basic mode, while a selected Running box means that the block is operating in running mode.
The Maximum and Minimum blocks are slightly different from the
blocks above, and provide a Mode parameter in
the block dialog box to select the type of operation. The
and Index,
Value, and
Index options
in the Mode menu all specify basic operation,
in each case enabling a different set of output ports on the block.
Running option in the Mode menu
selects running operation.
A basic operation is one that processes
each input independently of previous and subsequent inputs. For example,
in basic mode (with
Value and Index selected,
for example) the Maximum block finds the maximum value in each column
of the current input, and returns this result at the top output (
Each consecutive
Val output therefore has the same
number of columns as the input, but only one row. Furthermore, the
values in a given output only depend on the values in the corresponding
input. The block repeats this operation for each successive input.
This type of operation is exactly equivalent to the MATLAB® command
val = max(u) % Equivalent MATLAB code
which computes the maximum of each column in input
The next section is an example of a basic statistical operation.
You can use the basic statistics operations in conjunction with the Buffer block to implement basic sliding window statistics operations. A sliding window is like a stencil that you move along a data stream, exposing only a set number of data points at one time.
For example, you may want to process data in 128-sample frames, moving the window along by one sample point for each operation. One way to implement such a sliding window is shown in the following ex_mean_tut model.
The Buffer block's Buffer size (Mo) parameter determines the size of the window. The Buffer overlap (L) parameter defines the "slide factor" for the window. At each sample instant, the window slides by Mo-L points. The Buffer overlap is often Mo-1, so that a new statistic is computed for every new signal sample.
A running operation is one that processes successive inputs, and computes a result that reflects both current and past inputs. In this mode, you must use the Input processing parameter to specify whether the block performs sample- or frame-based processing on the inputs. A reset port enables you to restart this tracking at any time. The running statistic is computed for each input channel independently, so the block's output is the same size as the input.
For example, in running mode (
Running selected
from the Mode parameter) the Maximum block outputs
a record of the input's maximum value over time.
The following figure illustrates how a Maximum block in running
mode operates on a 3-by-2 matrix input,
when the Input processing parameter is set to
as channels (frame based). The running maximum is reset
at t=2 by an impulse to the block's optional
Rst port.

International Art Theft - Stolen artworks
San Francisco
Please view the following clip from Television New Zealand One News, about a multiple art loan from several Pacific Countries to a San Francisco organisation that went terribly wrong. The person responsible for not returning the artworks contacted the TV station a couple of hours prior to the story going to air saying that one of the many artworks can be returned at the artist's expense. This has been our suggestion for many years until the communication died which is still the case this week - that is, no communication from her despite her statement to NZTV. While this story is about one artwork, there are many thousands of dollars worth of artwork from other artists involved in this and several have come out of the woodwork since this story was aired last Saturday.

EDIT: Was Shadows of the Damned "profitable"? I mean Duke was just a bad joke and should have stayed like that, let the guy die already, and there are a bunch of better games out there that just won't sell as much as Duke Nukem Forever did; that's bad for the industry IMO.
Unfortunately, it's hard to say for a lot of reasons, primary being that we don't know the budget of the game. That said, Grasshopper historically makes their games for ridiculously fucking cheap (No More Heroes was a monstrous success for them at 125k in its first month in North America), so hopefully!

MVSU also failed to score from the outside, going 0-for-15 from 3-point range. Washington State was a little better, going 3-for-15 from 3-point range.
The Cougars also made 24-of-30 free throws, while Mississippi Valley was just 2-of-9 from the line.

In the meantime I looked through my phone and found an odd text message that had come through during the time of my top up... in fact it occured exactly at the time of my top up. It was from a company called Mind Quiz. The message stated that I had subscribed to a monthly package and if I did not want this monthly charge to reoccur I need to reply "Stop". I had never heard of this company before in my life, I had never subscribed to a monthly package and I had never authorized a charge to my virgin mobile account. The message was very cryptic and all mashed together, but in it I found a phone #1(877)707-1775. I called the number and the person who picked up said the name of the company was called mobile media solutions (premium text messages) and they told me that Virgin Mobile had authorized the charges and that they could not reverse them. I argued this for quite awhile until they told me that they could mail me a refund of 9.99 to my home address but that was all that they could do. I accepted that but told them that I had never authorized this charge and did not want any further contact with them. They told me I had to reply "stop" to the text message that came to my phone. I did this. I wrote down the name of the person I talked with and her employee # as well as a confirmation # for my refund check. I then looked up the name of "Mobile Media Solutions" on the internet and discovered several complaints about a phishing scam. This is happening all over America in every state! It is criminal.
I then called my phone provider Virgin Mobile back to inform them of this horrible scam that is occuring with their permission and was hung up on by a Virgin Mobile representative. I called back and informed the person who answered that I would like to speak to a manager, this took a long time. When I finally did get through to a manager she was not helpfull at all. In the end they told me that there still was no charge showing on their end and that I would have to wait until the charge showed up for them to dispute it or challenge it. I gave the manager the name of the company and told her that is was a scam and that I wanted them blocked on my phone. They told me this would block all incoming text messages and that I needed to reply "stop" to the text message that was sent to me............ How did they know this information? My gut instinct tells me they knew all along. I have yet to get a refund or a credit to my account. Although 10.00 is a minor amount, add up 1,500 people who recieve a bogus 9.99 charge to their cell phone accounts... now we see the damage. It is illegal and immoral and it needs to be stopped!

Jail for West Rutland robberNovember 29,2012A St. Albans man convicted of robbing a pharmacy in West Rutland was sentenced to 40 months behind bars this week.
Christopher J. McCarthy, 43, pleaded guilty earlier this year to a federal charge of obstructing commerce by robbery.
On Monday, Judge Christina Reiss sentenced McCarthy to more than three years in jail followed by three years of supervised release. He must also pay $405 in restitution to Rite Aid.
McCarthy was arrested on Feb. 11 hours after he approached a clerk at the pharmacy and handed her a note that demanded prescription painkiller drugs and the promise that if the demands were met no one will get hurt.
In an interview with police, McCarthy said he was addicted to the drugs and robbed the pharmacy out of desperation.
McCarthy was originally charged in a Vermont court, but the state dismissed its charge against him in April to allow the federal charge to be brought.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON A Sandgate man with a previous conviction for a sex crime against a child in New...

Great news about "Fly the Coop" (& maybe Petrovic and others)!!!
So, I just got "Fly the Coop" Major props to LA48 and salfor1 for their help. Still, that's not the great news. The great news is that I WAS ABLE TO GET IT IN MULTIPLE SESSIONS! That's right; I did NOT do all three missions in a single sitting. Rather, it was spanned over several days with at most one mission completed under time per day -- NOOSE, Base II, then Breaker. If I quit, I just made sure my profile was updated within the server before attacking the next mission. Note that it always took over half an hour for this update take place on the server end.
Anyhow, I'm sure that there will be doubters and I'm sure that this won't work for some (the people with double accounts?). But all I know is that I was able to get this trophy without having to resort to leaving my PS3 on for an ungodly amount of time and pray that the connection did not drop, which incidentally it did many times. By the way, I'm not chastising anyone for resorting to these measures. I'm just overjoyed that I did not have to.
Now, it's time to see if Petrovic and others work. Wish me luck
EDIT: It should be noted that the person that I was doing Fly the Coop with unlocked it at the same time and was doing it in multiple sessions. So, that's at least two folks who have gotten it in multiple sessions.
Now for the really important update: PETROVIC CAN BE DONE IN MULTIPLE SESSIONS !!!
The operative word in the above is "can". There have been some unfortunate people for whom this trophy does not unlock in multiple sessions (see below). But it did work for me. I am in the process of helping two others get their Petrovic trophy. Obviously, they're doing it in multiple sessions. I will relay the results.
Again, this is purely conjecture, but I think making sure the servers updated before each new session is the best thing to do. I'm thinking that the system checks your online stats and compares them to the stats that you're currently obtaining and if they add up to what's needed then you unlock the trophy.
One last thing: Fuck yeah! I'm so glad this pain-in-the-ass trophy is finished. Now, I get to spend another 50+ hours in this game to rank up to level 10. Damn you Rockstar for your ridiculous trophies!!!
Edit 2: So, I just finished helping another get his last race for Petrovic and he got it as well!!!
Edit 3: I've helped another. This is now the third person (apart from me) to confirm getting Petrovic in multiple sessions.

fly the coop can be done in 2-3 hours if youve watched the youtube videos
if your talking bout petrovic it takes around 8-10 hours yes that one is very time consuming

So basically you completed 1 of the missions gave it 30mins to update the server (did you stay at a main menu or something) and then tackled another level next day and did the same all 3 and it gave you it is that right.

However, since starting the Petrovic run, I've notice that while all the stats eventually get recorded, some stats get recorded earlier than others, despite being played at a later time.

Sounds to me like you might have gotten lucky with fly the co-op That didn't happen for me. I can also confirm that the Petrovic trophy didn't unlock across multiple sessions for me. I previously had the "Taking it for the team" trophy, however 'Auf Wiedersehen Petrovic' did not unlock until I had re-completed all the team matches during the same session.
Do let us know if you are more fortunate though. Perhaps Rockstar are able to do some wizardry server side and may be sorting things out. Or as I said earlier, perhaps you're just lucky!

I've got 5 jumps today to do to get that trophy and I need to do 1 more mission to enable the final Stranger and I have that then there's the rest of single player except 30hr 1.
The only thing I have done online was about 3 weeks ago and that was pistol trophy & 20 races so my stats should be fine I aint going for that Petro trophy to long but I'll give that 3 missions 1 ago still think it's stupid that it cant be more than 3 players.
I doubt I'll go for these missions as I'll end up getting frustrated with it like I did when I was completing COD3 on vertern and it's stupid checkpoint system sucked.

All I want to know is are there any missable achievements.
Personally I do play some games just for achievements but this is certainly not one of those.
I want to play this game for fun first (for at least the first 100 hours or so), but it would be so annoying if I found that I had missed an achievement and it would probably ruin the game for me having to replay the story for hours just for that.
I don't even want to look at the list really so could anyone just let me if there are any missable achievements (and if so how do I not miss them - no spoilers please)
Started collecting achievements in July 2008. If Im not on Xbox then Im playing PS3, WII or PC.

Cornflake: I Want My Own Legacy; I'm Not Broner!
By Natas Robinson
Thomas "Cornflake" LaManna may only be 22 years old but he already has his eyes set on greatness. The undefeated fighter out of Millville, New Jersey is taking his career very seriously, recently spending training camps with Delvin Rodriguez and even at Mayweather's gym, where he spars the likes of J'Leon Love.
"I've been in Floyd's gym a little bit. J'Leon Love we spar a lot, we actually fought in the amateurs. He's very underrated and probably isn't appreciated as much as he should but he's very talented. It's a great atmosphere, great sparring every time I go there. I learn a lot and I'm constantly working on my craft."
At 14-0 (7 KO's), LaManna believes his ideal weight is 154 pounds and is eager to take on all comers.
"I'm a solid 154 pounder. I want to be comfortable. My last fight I was 157. I think 154 is my calling. I'm a boxer-puncher. I'm 6'1 in the middleweight and junior middleweight divisions. I can brawl. I know I can box. I can make them miss and make them pay. Boxing is all about making adjustments and that's my best asset - making adjustments."
"Whoever they put in front of me, I get the job done. I know my time will come. I'm not rushing it, as long as there's someone in front of me in the ring, that's all I'm happy for. I just want to fight. I'm always in the gym staying ready. "
While other young fighters may mimic the styles of older fighters, LaManna makes it clear he wants to make a name for himself.
"Everyone idolizes Floyd Mayweather, there's no secret about that. But to be honest I just want to be myself. If I can create my own legacy then so be it. I mean why follow someone else? My name's not Adrien Broner! I don't want to follow someone else's footsteps for the rest of my life. I want to create my own legacy; I want to look up to myself."
Regarding his unique nickname:
"One day I walked into a gym, and you know there aren't a lot of white fighters these days. The gym was just black fighters, Mexican, Dominican, and Puerto Ricans. My friend Brian Green came up with the name Cornflake because I was the one white kid. And I knew it was official when it was my second or third amateur fight and I had "Cornflake" embroidered on my trunks. It was a wrap from there!"
LaManna has fought nearly half of his pro fights at Atlantic City and his fan-base is growing with each fight.
"Thank you to everybody that does believes in me and supports me. Because without the fans boxing is dead. Everyone says boxing is dead but you know we got the highest paid athlete in the world. None of this would be possible without the fans. July I'll be back in the ring. Stay tuned. I'm trying to be great!"
Thomas LaManna is also founder of "SkyLyfe Gym", a boxing gym in Millville, NJ with the intentions to keep kids off the street and create opportunities for the youth.

Cornflake needs to respect the fact that adrien broner is greatness compared to anything he's ever accomplished. Broner has done much more in his career. He is a three division champion. Mr. Lamanna, Go eat some cornflakes and shut up.Comment by sabonis11 on 06-03-2014
He must be pretty special. Who else has ring card girls and a post fight interview after their fight in a middle school gym. He looks like he has good support, which will help him. Good luck to him, seems…Comment by cupocity303 on 06-03-2014
[SIZE="3"]So far his best performance is against Zelenoff:[/SIZE]Comment by ShoulderRoll on 06-03-2014
I love that Cornflake is getting good sparring and has even hit up the Mayweather gym for some work. This kid is for real. As long as he stays grounded and keeps learning positive things will happen for him.Comment by Cloud on 06-03-2014

Researchers monitored 377 HIV-positive babies for five years and found that those who completed the immediate 96-week antiretroviral treatment were able to avoid restarting the therapy for an average of 70 weeks. Waiting for symptoms to emerge before getting the treatment was linked to substantially higher rates of death and hospital admissions as well as greater medical costs than receiving the immediate, temporary treatment. The findings appear in The Lancet.

I edited your frontend_uploader_settings.php file, and removed

which let me put anything in the email field, and I can confirm it sends to multiple (comma separated) emails. Could you add this (multiple emails) to the plugin, with a hint on the settings page to that effect?

Objective: To determine whether oral corticosteroids can prevent early deterioration in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia.
Design: Prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial.
Methods: Included patients were having their first P. carinii pneumonia episode, had no other known active pulmonary pathology, had no contraindications for corticosteroids, received no anti-P. carinii pneumonia medications for more than 48 hours, and had oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry of 85% or more and less than 90% at rest or a 5-percentage-point decrease in oxygen saturation with exercise while breathing room air. Consenting subjects were randomly assigned to prednisone, 60 mg/d for 7 days, followed by a progressive tapering over 14 days or to an identical placebo. Early deterioration, the endpoint of the trial, was defined as a 10% decrease in baseline oxygen saturation on day 3 or thereafter. The cases of patients developing early deterioration were considered to be failures of treatment; the code was then broken, and the patient's treatment was left to the judgment of the treating physician. Sequential analysis was done with the primary variable being development of early deterioration.
Results: The trial was terminated 5 April 1989 on the basis of the sequential analysis when a total of nine episodes of early deterioration had occurred in the first 37 patients at an overall significance level of P = 0.0136. A total of 8 of 19 placebo-treated patients (42.1%) developed early deterioration compared with only 1 of 18 patients (5.6%) treated with corticosteroids. Baseline characteristics were not statistically different between the two treatment groups. The adjusted odds ratio for the treatment effect was 5.87 (95% CI, 1.27 to 27.4). The adjusted point estimates for the probability of early deterioration in the placebo and corticosteroid groups were 43% and 12%, respectively. All 8 patients in the placebo group developing early deterioration recovered rapidly with addition of corticosteroid treatment. The single patient with early deterioration in the corticosteroid group died on day 6 from overwhelming P. carinii pneumonia, as documented at autopsy. The corticosteroid group had an increased exercise tolerance on day 7 that persisted at day 30.
Conclusion: Oral corticosteroids prevent early deterioration and increase exercise tolerance in patients with moderately severe AIDS-related P. carinii pneumonia.

SOCHI, Russia – On Friday morning, I traveled to downtown Sochi, which is a 30-minute train ride along the Black Sea from the Olympic Village. It was sunny and 55 degrees, the kind of weather we long for in the spring back in Buffalo.
People walked happily along the main promenade, their overcoats slung over their shoulders, as a legion of soldiers and police stood guard at regular 50-yard increments, watching warily for any sign of suspicious activity.
On the train ride, you could see the sunlight reflecting off the sea on one side; out of the other you could see the majestic, snow-capped Caucasus Mountains rising just 30 or so miles off in the distance.
It was a stunning contrast, one that had me contemplating the two sides of Russia, the contradiction between its rich history and culture, and its dark political history over 70 years under Communist rule.
As a lover of Opening Ceremonies, I wondered how Russia would handle its big moment later that night, how it would reconcile the stark contrasts in its character. Would it rise above issues of intolerance and corruption, delivering a performance that left the world agape in admiration and awe, a night that honored the precious Olympic ideal?
A part of me didn't want Russia to come through. Maybe it was the little boy in me who lived in fear of a nuclear attack half a century ago. Or the adult who considers Vladimir Putin a puffed-up bully who represses dissent and had the temerity to pass a law against gays shortly before the Games.
Besides, I had gushed about China's ceremony in 2008, saying it couldn't be equaled. Then two years later, I decided that London had measured up to Beijing and in some ways passed it. So I was prepared to look harshly on the Russians, like some biased figure skating judge.
But they won me over, anyway. The Opening Ceremony was an artistic triumph, a celebration of Russia's history and culture and the Olympic dream. Again, I was reminded that each ceremony has its own distinguishing glory and that it's foolish and futile to compare them.
It wasn't perfect. The lighting of the Olympic rings didn't go off as planned.
Any objective critic of Putin had to be a little chagrined to watch a show that magnified his vision of Russia as an emerging democracy that is regaining its status as a dominant world power.
But the charm of the Opening Ceremony is its ability to rise above the petty objectives of leaders and governments, to squash our capacity for cynicism and make the talk of dreams sound less like a cliche than a reality.
I'll say this about Russia's night in Fisht Stadium: It was so mesmerizing, I totally forgot any concerns about security. I wasn't aware that a passenger on a flight for Istanbul had claimed to have a bomb on board and tried to divert the plane to Sochi.
The beauty of the ceremonies is that they're mainly conceived and executed by our better angels. I'm always left thinking what a great world this would be if they allowed artists, women and children to run it.
The people who create the shows always play on the idea of children's optimism and innocence. The Chinese did it. So did the British. The guide for Russia's ceremony was Lubov, a heroic young girl whose name translated to "Love."
Lubov led the spectators on a journey through Russia's history and culture, starting with their unique alphabet and highlighting the country's vast geographic diversity, its folklore and mythology, its proud military tradition, its love for art, music, literature, dance and, naturally, its sports.
I can't imagine how terrific it looked on television. Seeing it on a flat plane, from a press box, didn't do it justice. Taking an occasional look at a TV monitor, I suspected it was a tableau best appreciated from above.
One of my favorite parts of an opening ceremony is the Parade of Nations.
I love geography and flags. It's moving seeing the tiny delegations march in proudly along with the larger, more dominant Olympic countries. Godspeed, Tonga! Knock 'em dead, Cyprus! Cool, successful runnings, you Jamaican bobsledders!
The Russians added a few welcome twists to the parade. They put it early in the program, rather than at the end. It was a great idea. Putting the parade at the end forced the athletes to wait and diminished the march's grandeur.
Also, they had the athletes walk in from underneath the floor, instead of the sides, giving them a grand entrance into the middle of the stadium.
There was a powerful sense of the athletes rising up. It also gave each nation a more singular appearance. Each delegation was led by a white-clad female in high boots that made her seem 7 feet tall. Nice touch.
The nations departed from two sides, taking their seats in the stands across from Putin's box, where they watched the rest of the spectacular performance unfold. Troika, an iconic, horse-drawn carriage, pulled Lubov across a stormy sky, with the sun emerging behind her.
In the next scene, a group of military officers from the time of Peter the Great danced in "Natasha Rostova's First Ball" with stars from the Russian ballet, who portrayed some of the main characters from Tolstoy's epic novel, "War and Peace."
As the dancers merged, columns rose up from the floor of the stadium as 77 male servants came out bearing drinks and candelabra, while a light snow fell outside the ballroom.
The "War and Peace" ball was a highlight for me. To my mind, literature and dance are Russia's two greatest gifts to world culture. Some of the reporters in the press box were even applauding at the end.
They jumped ahead to Moscow/The Dream, which celebrated the Industrial Revolution and the building of a great city. Workers hammered at steel as images of modern skyscrapers rose in the stadium.
After Putin declared the Games officially open, a burst of red, white and blue lights flashed through the stadium. Then Diane Vishneva, the noted Russian ballerina, led a bunch of birdlike dancers in a transporting rendition of Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake."
The final performance, before the lighting of the flame, was "Olympic Gods," a tribute to Russia's athletic greats. Dozens of skaters rushed onto the floor, their suits illuminated in bright white lights. Overhead, a galaxy of winter sports figures hung in the sky.
It was a salute to the athletes, connecting them to the Olympic gods. It seemed a bit grandiose, but it was a reminder that we care deeply about sports because they can elevate us and reflect the best in mankind.
All in all, it was a marvelous show. If the Brazilian organizers weren't feeling the pressure after London, they're surely feeling it now.

Azam Khan says Kalyan factor cost SP dear in the hustings
Firozabad: Rebel Samajwadi Party leader Azam
Khan on Saturday lashed out at party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav
claiming that the latter`s association with former BJP leader
Kalyan Singh did the party in at the LoK Sabha elections.
Khan, who rebelled against party leadership for fielding
actress-turned politician Jayaprada in Rampur, claimed the
party had deviated from its basic ideology and turned towards
"The party could have won more than 50 Lok Sabha seats if
it had stuck to its basic ideology. But SP adopted Kalyan and
was forced to bite the dust (at the hustings)," he said at a
function held here on the occasion of Minority Rights Day.
The former minister, who was considered the Muslim face
of the party, had strong resevations against Mulayam cosying
up with former Chief Minister Kalyan Singh, who was convicted
by Liberhan Commission for demotion of Babri Masjid in 1992.
"When Kalyan Singh was himself admitting on television
that he pulled down the Babri Mosque, "dhartiputra"(Mulayam)
gave him the clean chit," Khan charged.
"Workers and farmers were the basic slogan of the party,
whom it deserted and turned towards fascism and adopted Kalyan
Singh that led to its debacle," he said.
Khan said he would neither join any party nor float any
political outfit. "I will wait for the right time to give a
befitting reply to those who betrayed me."
Khan said he "saluted people of Firozabad parliamentary
constituency, where Dimple Yadav -- Mulayam`s daughter-in-law
-- lost, for giving a befitting reply and avenging the insult
meted to the Muslim community".

Stephenie Meyer is a Shadow of the Lovers Arcana that grew an Ego and became a human.Therefore she represents the aspects of the Reversed Lovers Arcana, in particular the idea of a "forced pairing." Her Small Name, Big Ego problems could be attributed to her still struggling to come to grips with the fact that she isn't properly human and/or the Midnight Channel did a number on her sanity.
Stephenie Meyer is a pseudonym for Stephen King.Think about it. "Stephenie' is a feminine version of Stephen, (maybe the alternative spelling was made in relation to his name) and 'Meyer' means 'higher or superior.' Like a King. Stephen King created Stephenie Meyer either as a social experiment, something to add to his universe, or just to troll teenyboppers.
- Considering Meyer's attitude, it also makes her name a lot more meaningful.
- Then the actress portraying her in interviews must be a very brave woman, what with the hate machine being all big and hatey. Unless you're suggesting that Stephen Kingnote has mastered real life Latex Perfection...
Stephenie Meyer wrote Twilight to be horrible.They Plotted a Perfectly Good Waste?
- She's actually a marketing genius who specifically targeted the demographic of "idiots who decide they hate a series and then continue to obsessively follow it anyway".
- So, Springtime for Hitler?
Stephenie Meyer is a vampire hunterShe wrote the Twilight books to make vampires too embarrassed to go out and be evil.
Stephenie Meyer is Tara Gilesbie.At some point she realized she could make money with her talent. The rest is history.
- Unlikely. At least Meyer can spell.
- That's the reason why editors exist. Or maybe Gilesbie was just trolling us all with her horrendous spelling.
Stephenie Meyer planned Twilight to prove a pointStephanie agrees with the haters and critics about the stalking, abusive relationships, and negative connotations around the book. She wrote the book to prove a point about how teenage girls simply don't know what real love is and to prank the majority of her fans into thinking what they are reading is positive role modelling. She wrote it bad on purpose to find out who does and does not critically analyse texts. It's a grand plan. The biggest, most sincere fans of the book will be the ones she can arrange to have her sparkling vampire son date.
Stephenie Meyer is a GhoulThe Twilight Saga was written to both protect the Masquerade, and horribly mislead young girls about vampires in order to open up new potential feeding grounds. It was a smashing success.
- Supernatural did one on this, while serving a few slaps on the side.
- Brilliant! Why couldn't we see this earlier! we must mobilize the bear cavalry!
Stephenie Meyer is a marketing genius.Related to one of the ones above. SMeyer started selling her book on a lark, and when it got popular, decided to keep writing, because it's making her fabulously wealthy. She has even created a controversial public persona just for the purpose of drawing in more attention. That, or she's having fun throwing people for a loop.
- The fact that she literally rewrote Twilight with the genders swapped and barely much more only further adds onto this. Hate her or not, the woman knows how to earn her income.
Stephenie Meyer is J.K. Rowling's NobodyRowling writes good Harry Potter books, and Meyer writes bad Twilight books, so she's in the Kingdom Hearts universe.
Stephenie Meyer is a ReplicaShe has a mentality of a five year old in an adult body. The real Stephenie Meyer died and Mohs created a replica of her from the real Stephenie Meyer's replica data. She only lived for five years and haven't grown mentally unlike Luke.
Stephenie Meyer is a TrollAnd the Twilight series is her instrument of trolling.
Stephenie Meyer isn't a real person.The book was written by a small team in the US Government, in an attempt to create a successful franchise to bring money into the government. Seeing how much money the books and movies have made, and the ridiculous amount of merchandise available (seriously, they have band-aids and hair straighteners with the Twilight image!) it's working. Meyer isn't a real person, she's an actress hired by the government to be the "face", the one to pretend to be the author. Everything about her life and backstory is fabricated.
Stephenie Meyer is Lilith and Twilight Books are promoting LuciferStephenie Meyer body is fat while her head isn't, conclusion? She is pregant all the time. And Lilith is said to bear million children per day Vampires Sparkling? Lucifer Means "light bringer" thats says all
- Don't insult Lucifer, he may be the embodiment of darkness but he's at least better than this crap.
- Which is why he and Lilith separated after she decided to give him this "tribute." Needless to say, it was an unhappy Thanksgiving for the kids.
Stephenie Meyer is Hasturher signature resembles yelow sign slightly ...
Stephenie Meyer is E.L. JamesThe plot is the same, the styles are the same, so are the characters. What better way then to write a fanfic of your own novel? That way you don't infringe on the copyright. Plus, you get to cash in on the fans' disappointment at the lack of sex in Twilight.
Stephenie Meyer is a real Vampire.She is pulling a Fright Night Part 2 style scheme in order to make people more tolerant to her race, ergo lowering their defenses so her army of the undead may feed on the living.
Stephenie Meyer's child would go back in time to destroy herHe would go back in time to become an actor and star in a similar adaptation of a vampire book series. he shall raise a fandom of teenage girls to overthrow the dominance of the Twilight book series. And for further insult, he would name his new identity after his unloving mother: "Stephen Moyer".
- Alternatively, 20+ years from now they'll write what is essentially a Fix Fic of Twilight, which will be considered one of the greatest vampire romance novels of all time. And he/she will do this as the ultimate Take That to Stephenie Meyer, proving that even her own kids are better writers than her, and the infamous reputation of Old Twilight will be replaced by the well-deserved popularity of New Twilight.
Stephenie Meyer is just a normal woman who wanted to write a book series.
- No, it's true. And this page is incredibly ridiculous. She never intended for her books to be hated so much. No real person should ever be treated this way if they have done no intentional harm. I mean, "Stephenie Meyer's child would go back in time to destroy her?" What the heck are you people thinking?!
Stephanie Meyer became a success through a Jackass Genie.Not thinking that Twilight would be anything but utterly forgotten pseudo-smut, she made a wish that Twilight would be the one of the most successful romance of all time. Since Meyer never specified the type of success-Twilight mainly became a financial one, with the Jackass part being the extreme Love It or Hate It of Twilight.
Stephenie Meyer got into trouble with trees when she was younger and wrote Twilight as revengeShe either fell from or was attacked by one as a child and wrote her books well knowing that they would be sold in awfully large amounts, meaning the deaths of several trees... Or at least that's what Uncyclopedia suggests.
Stephanie Meyer is afraid of aging and/or death.Meyerpeyers are filled with Fridge Horror surrounding their life, and in most stories could easily lead to a Who Wants to Live Forever? scenario. Stephanie glorifies a race of immortals, in spite of all that her "heroes" do are eat, mate, fool around sometime spend decades at school. Not just that, but aging is clearly vilified and the vampires take every step to not age(all vampires turned as young adults, retaining the same mentality). Meyer is doing this because she fears the march of time
- This could actually be true. Meyer's books are incredibly nihilistic, and she has outright admitted to being anti-human by her own words.
Stephanie Meyer hates modern day women.Notice how her Author Avatar even as a Vampire, is useless without Edward's help?
Stephanie Meyer is one of the Old Ones,and her clingy, overly-dependent protagonist, and said protagonist's disturbing, nigh-worshipful relationship with her vampire saviour are merely the means to achieve her goal, which has nothing to do with vampires, which are of course entirely fictional, having been invented by her species for PR purposes. The true purposes of Meyer's novels is to promote the basic ideals of that good ole-timey religion to younger and increasingly atheistic generations, for obvious reasons.
- To this end, various vampire-romance cliches are played-up in order to discredit Varkolaks, which are entirely real and promote secularism.

Read an Excerpt
The quotes you hold in your hand first saw the light of day as four separate collections of 637 each. Five years ago, the four appeared as an anthology of the 2,548 best things anybody ever said with four introductions and four indexes of sources, authors, and key words. If you were looking for something on a particular subject or by a favorite wag, if you were trying to track down a half-remembered line, you had four places to look. In this new edition, the introductions and ref-
erence lists have been combined into one and the quotes are numbered from 1 to 2,548, not four times from 1 to 637. The streamlining will enable many readers, writers, and speakers to more easily feign a sense of humor where none exists.
Why 2,548 quotes instead of, say, 2,547? I didn't want to leave a good one out. Why not 2,549? I didn't want any padding. The goal was simply to compile the best (funniest) things ever said (or written), zingers that can be used in everyday life without the odor of pomposity. Look elsewhere for rosy words of uplift or inspiration, unless you are uplifted and inspired by lines more appropriate for performers than pontificators. A serious attempt was made to eliminate the chaff and retain only the wheat, which is to say that you should be able to open the book to any page and be glad you did.
Many of the quotes are clustered by subject, but the subjects aren't ordered according to the alphabet. It struck me as logical, for example, to follow remarks about Love with those about Sex, Wedlock, Self-Abuse, Kids, Drink, and Death, in that order. In most books of this kind, Sex is followed by such unrelated topics as Shakespeare, Sickness, and Socialism and there is no category for Self-Abuse at all.
I feel bad about most of the quotes attributed to celebrities, for in almost every case, I'm willing to bet, the wit was supplied by a publicist or gagwriter. As a rule, celebrities aren't funny without help. Many non-celebrities are funny, though, at least once in a while, which is why there are so many lines in these pages from unknowns who took the time to send me contributions. One is a man who calls himself Strange de Jim. Should he appear in the Index of Authors under Strange or de? Then there is Hal Lee Luyah, who appears five times. Is that a pseudonym or did his parents call him that to have something to shout on Easter Sunday?
I quote myself a few times, too, which comes under the heading Abuse of Editorial Privilege. I apologize for that and other character flaws.
A word about the antique line cuts, since nobody asked. They are taken from several dozen collections, most of them published by Dover, totaling around 15,000 images. It's not easy matching up a drawing with a quote. Imagine my joy when I found the perfect one for Number 424, Nietzsche's observation that "only sick music makes money today."
Have fun. I did.
