If you are a web developer and aren't familiar with the term "REST," you should know that you regularly work within this software architecture. REST is a term that can describe the interactions that occur between client and server on the World Wide Web. However, as with many terms, its original definition actually takes on further meaning as different parties have used it. In this paper, I assume REST to be more specifically applied to describe communication between a client and server as part of a specific API.
I am presenting a guide to you here on how to get started developing your own RESTful API. This guide has been split into two parts. In this part, I provide a very brief description of REST as it applies to this guide. I will then describe how to build your very own RESTful server using a CGI script (which should be easily extrapolated into FastCGI or mod_perl or another web framework). In the next article, we'll go over how to access this server from a RESTful client written using libwww-perl. I will end with a couple useful extensions that should be considered, and I will share some other important resources.
In the most generic terms, REST (Representational State Transfer) is a software architecture originally published by Roy Fielding in his dissertation. More specifically, this term has been used to define web service APIs for the management of resources that may be created, read, updated, and deleted (CRUD) over HTTP. This is the focus of this article. RESTful APIs are used by many big names. Off the top of my head, I know that Amazon (Amazon Web Services), Intuit (Quickbase), and Facebook all provide RESTful interfaces to their applications. There are many others.
We will spend a lot of time discussing resources in this article. A resource in a RESTful web service is just some unit of data useful to your site. This is probably a record in your SQL database, but it could be an account on an LDAP server, a segment of an XML data file, or just about any other unit of data you want to share with others. The sample server, for example, will be reading from and writing to files on the disk.
Before I talk about some principles, I should state the disclaimer that I am coming at REST from a completely practical background. REST is a software architectural style and, as such, it has a lot of papers and theory and purists attached to it. This guide is about getting stuff done in Perl. If I fail to present a pure message on REST itself, I will only excuse myself by saying that I never claimed to do so. See the resources in the RESTful Resources section if you want more information on REST as an architecture.
With that out of the way, let's talk about some principals. You won't get fair into literature on REST without running into the "REST Triangle" (see Figure 1 below). Essentially, there are three key concepts to REST: nouns, verbs, and content types. I will discuss each briefly here.
Figure 1. The REST Triangle
A noun is an identifier for a resource. This is generally a URL (link to GET the resource) when we talk about REST in HTTP. It might also be a URN (a name for a resource that can be used via HTTP or something else to identify the resource) or another kind of URI (URLs and URNs are often URIs when used as REST nouns). You probably want nouns that uniquely identify (a URI: Unique Resource Identifier) your resource or at least one noun that uniquely identifies the resource, but you might provide nouns that are not unique. For example, I might have an interface identifying the same record with the following nouns:
Each of these might be URLs in my interface. The first might be the unique ID of my account on the system, a unique ID. The next example uses my last name, which is pretty unique in the United States, but not totally so and certainly not unique worldwide. The last example is an example of a noun that is unique according to an external authority. The choice of how you identify your nouns is something to consider.
For a more detailed treatment of nouns and URLs, you may want to read more about URL Construction.
CRUD is an acronym referring to the common changes made to data: Create, Read, Update, and Delete. This set of operations generally encompasses everything that can be done to a piece of data. When we talk about these operations within the context of REST, we will use specific HTTP request methods to implement each. In REST nomenclature, these are called the verbs of the architecture.
In theory, you don't really need all of these in every RESTful web service. If you don't allow modification of resources, you can just use GET. A simple REST interface might provide only GET and PUT or GET and POST, depending on your needs. These are not the only available verbs either.
For more information, consider reading about HTTP Methods.
The final piece of the triangle is the content type of your resources. The content types provide the format for the data that will take part in your RESTful discussion. You will specify these with the "Content-Type" header in the requests (client-side) and responses (server-side). When traveling on the information superhighway of the World Wide Web, you are pretty constrained to using some variant of HTML as the main document type. In a web service, however, you can use whatever suits your application.
The format you want to use will depend explicitly upon the needs of your application. If you are exchanging organized data, like the sample server and client included with this article, you will probably want a data interchange format like XML, YAML, JSON, or CSV. If your application deals with documents, you will probably want to use a document format related to that, such as HTML, DocBook, SGML, ODF, PDF, PostScript, etc. Your application might manipulate photos (JPG, PNG, BMP) or calendar information (iCal) or categorized links (OPML) or whatever else. You can use microformats or whatever you happen to like.
If you want to be really cool, you can even permit the data to be described in multiple formats. For example, you might allow updates to your data to come as XML, YAML, and JSON by examining the "Content-Type" header sent in the request and treating the given data accordingly. You can allow the client to request that data back in a custom format by examining the "Accept" header and choosing a format based on the client's preference. Ultimately, if your data can be requested and posted in formats that are convenient to your clients, you will probably have happier clients.
See Which Content Type for more discussion considering content types.
I have written a very simple RESTful web service using a CGI script. Now that we've gotten the theory out of the way, I'm going to walk through how this server works to help explain the concepts in practical terms. This server manages the books in my library. Information about each book is stored as a YAML file in a certain folder. I've avoided using a database to store the information in this guide because I don't want to worry about serializing and unserializing the data. I want to focus on the REST protocol itself as much as possible.
I have based the interface of this REST server upon the work being undertaken on the Jifty web application framework. I believe they have had some good ideas with respect to RESTful implementation. If you are familiar with Jifty, some of the code and policy decisions I've made will look familiar.
Before diving into the implementation, I want to make a note of the URLs I have chosen for it. These URLs are meant to be easy to comprehend in pieces and extensible. These are very similar to the URLs chosen for the Jifty REST plugin.
First, I've chosen to make all the REST interface URLs start with "/=". This may seem a little odd on first glance. However, it provides a very simple way to set your REST URLs apart from the rest of your site. I think its a nice idiom for "IM IN YR API!"
Second, I've made the next component of the API "/model". This borrows from MVC the word "Model." The reason I do this is because one might extend this REST API to include additional features like "/action/" to execute remote procedures or "/search/" to execute a search for data, etc. Those aren't necessarily RESTful, but certainly useful.
Third, I've made the next component of the API "/book" to specify the name of the kind of data we're working with. Again, a future extension might foresee enhancements that add additional models for storage. I might store author biographies in "/author" or information about friends I've loaned books to under "/loan".
These are policy decisions that you should think about ahead of time to allow your API to be flexible with future enhancements without breaking things already made if you can avoid it. These were policies chosen by the Jifty developers for these and similar reasons.
I have chosen to provide some documentation within the API itself. If you install the library.cgi script into your local cgi-bin directory and go to the top-level URL in your browser, http://localhost/cgi-bin/library.cgi/= (or something like that depending on where you installed it), you will get an HTML response documenting how the interface works.
Self-documenting services are, in my opinion, a good idea. If I were building this server for production use and my project time line allowed time for it, I would want to add further documentation to the various error messages that occur to further document how to use the interface. By doing so, you can make recommendations to the developer (or the end-user that got to the wrong place) regarding how to fix the problem.
The first real aspect of the API we'll cover is the one that is most fundamental at the get go: listing. This isn't really an aspect of CRUD we discussed above, but if you don't know what resources are available, it might be difficult to fetch them or update them.
The URL for accessing this list of resources is "/=/model/book/id" and it lists all the IDs for the book model.
The code in the sample server is pretty simple. It looks for all the available resources, which are stored as YAML files on the disk. It then outputs an HTML file containing links to the resources found:
print $q->header('text/html');
# Find all the files available
my @items;
for my $filename (glob get_local_path('*')) {
my ($id) = $filename =~ m{([\d-]+)\.yaml$};
next unless defined $id;
push @items, $q->li(
$q->a({ href => absolute_url('/=/model/book/id/'.$id) }, $id),
# List the items
print $q->ul( @items );
The ID of the book (generally the ISBN as we'll see later) is in the filename, as well as stored within the file for reference. The Perl code above outputs an unordered list in HTML of links to the books in my library.
You can try this one out in your browser directly. The URL will be something like this:
If you have an empty resource library (i.e., you just installed it and haven't used the client to add any books), the page will be empty. If you have one or more books stored, you will see bullets with linked IDs.
If you click on one of the links, you will access the book's YAML description.
By visiting a URL like "/=/model/book/id/<ID>" on the server, where ID is a string of numbers and dashes, you will fetch the YAML file describing the book with the given ID. If no book can be found with that ID you will be handed a "404 Not Found" error.
Here's the important code from the sample server. In this snippet, the $id variable is already set to an untainted ID value pulled out of the URL.
# Look up the resource file
my $filename = get_local_path($id);
if (-f $filename) {
# Open and slurp up the file and output the resource
open my $bookfh, $filename
or barf 500, "I Am Broke", "Cannot open $filename: $!";
print $q->header('text/yaml');
print do { local $/; <$bookfh> };
# No such resource exists
else {
barf 404, "Where is What?", "Book for $id does not exist.";
First, we look up the filename on the local disk. The code checks to see if the file exists and returns a 404 if not. Otherwise, we slurp the file and send back a "text/yaml" response containing the YAML data. Since I'm storing the data on the disk in the format I'm using to communicate, I can just send the file directly. Had this been a database record look or something, I may have needed to serialize the data into YAML format using
If you have set up the CGI script, you can attempt to fetch one of these records directly after they have been added. For example, you might visit this URL into your browser:
You will be asked to save oo open the downloaded file.
Now that we've learned to fetch records (which we haven't learned how to create yet), let's learn how to put new books into the system. This is implemented using POST. In this implementation, the server will always assign an ID to a newly created book record, but that ID will be based upon the ISBN recorded in the file (if the "isbn" field is present). If you attempt to create a book resource with an ISBN that has already been submitted, you will receive an error.
Here's the code that will be run if you POST a request to "/=/model/book". I've broken it up a bit to make the explanation a little easier.
# Check to make sure the input book is sane
my $book = check_book( $q->param('POSTDATA') );
# If we have an ISBN (some books don't!), then die if we already have
# it because we don't permit POST cannot for updates!
if ($book->{isbn} and -f get_local_path($book->{isbn})) {
barf 500, 'Not Gonna Do It',
'A POST may not be used to update an existing book.';
# Our data is sane!
The first thing we do is validate the sanity of the data. The
check_book() function performs several tasks to verify the sanity of the request. You can look at the code yourself to see the details, but I will mention that this function will cause a "415 Unsupported Media Type" or "400 Bad Request" or "500 Internal Server Error" depending on the kind of problem encountered. I have tried to pick the code that is most appropriate status code when possible. I highly recommend being familiar with the Status Code Definitions of the HTTP/1.1 protocol to make sure you are sending the best code possible for a given response. And when in doubt, you return a "500 Internal Server Error" to the client, which is the most general error status you can return.
# Figure out an ID, this is either the ISBN or a generated ID
my $id = $book->{isbn} ? $book->{isbn} : next_id;
# Store the ID for reference within the record
$book->{id} = $id;
# Save the resource
eval { YAML::DumpFile(get_local_path($id), $book) };
barf 500, 'I Am Broke', $@ if $@;
Now that we know that the data is sane, we will set up the ID of the book and save the book as a YAML file. If the book has an ISBN, that is used as the ID. If the book does not have an ISBN listed, then a new ID is generated with the
next_id() function. The server then uses
YAML::DumpFile() to save the book to the disk in YAML format at the appropriate local path.
# Note the success to the end-user
my $resource_url = absolute_url('/=/model/book/id/'.$id);
print $q->header(
-status => 201,
-type => 'text/html',
-location => $resource_url,
print $q->h1("Created $book->Developing RESTful Web Services in Perl");
print $q->ul(
$q->a({ href => $resource_url }, $resource_url)
Finally, we end by returning a "201 Created" response to the client. You should try to return either a 201 or 202 response to the client when creating a resource. These are generally superior to 200 or 204 on create. With a 201, you may also set the "Location" header (as I have here) in the response. This must point to the URL of the new item. If you cannot create the item immediately, you may want to consider a "202 Accepted" status. Check the HTTP/1.1 specification for more information.
By the way, don't respond with a 200 status and include a "Location" header under Apache. Apache will translate that 200 into a 302, which is probably helpful for the typical forgetful web programmer, but is not what you want in a RESTful interface. A "Location" header is not appropriate in a 200, so make sure you return a 201 when including a "Location" header for creates.
In a RESTful interface, PUT is the exact opposite of GET. GET fetches the content from the server. PUT pushes the content to the server. In the sample server snippets below, the variable named $id is already set to the last part of the URL, which looks like "/=/model/book/id/<ID>". Here is how the sample server starts handling this PUT.
# Check to make sure the input book is sane
my $book = check_book( $q->param('PUTDATA') );
# Make sure the book already exists or barf
my $resource_path = get_local_path($id);
unless (-f $resource_path) {
barf 500, 'Not Gonna Do It',
'Cannot use PUTs for creating a new resource.';
This looks similar to POST. I first start by performing a sanity check to make sure the data is sane. In addition to using
check_book() again, I also perform an extra test here to make sure this is an update. This REST server does not permit PUT to create records. Your own REST API could allow creates with PUT, but this should only be permitted when the client is able to and has specified a proper URL for the PUT.
# Make sure the ID is set
$book->{id} = $id;
# Save the resource
eval { YAML::DumpFile($resource_path, $book) };
barf 500, 'I Am Broke', $@ if $@;
This should look similar to the POST, but it's a little similar since the ID is known from the URL (and won't change). This is one place where this interface is a little wonky. You could actually change the ISBN here so that it differs from the ID, which is probably bad. Meh. I'm just a lazy author, so I leave fixing this as an exercise to the diligent reader.
# Note the success to the end-user
print $q->header('text/html');
print $q->h1("Updated $book->Developing RESTful Web Services in Perl");
Finally, I return the response back to the client to let them know it succeeded.
The last verb we consider in the sample server is the DELETE. We are using the same URL that we already used in GET and PUT: "/=/model/book/id/<ID>". In the code snippet here, $id is already initialized to <ID>.
# Make sure the book actually exists
my $resource_path = get_local_path($id);
unless (-f $resource_path) {
barf 404, 'Where is What?',
'Nothing here to delete.';
# Baleted!
unlink $resource_path;
# Tell me about it.
print $q->header('text/html');
print $q->h1("Deleted $id");
This is pretty simple, but let's walk through it. First, we find where this ID should be found on the local disk. We check first to see if there is even a file there to delete. If not, return a 404 error. If it does exist, delete it. Finally, return a nice 200 response and content letting them know about the update.
That concludes the discussion of the features of the sample REST server. Next, we can discuss some significant extension possibilities.
We've now explained most of the key components of the sample REST server. Hopefully I have given you some principles and practical tools in Perl to explain the most important concepts when developing your own RESTful web service.
In the next article, I will show how to access all these features with a custom made client tool written in libwww-perl. We'll also consider some extensions that can be made to client and server to improve the abilities of the service and I will leave you with some links that have been helpful in my own work with REST web services.
Until then, cheers.

House passes bill requiring schools to hold three lockdown drills per year, post records online
The state House passed legislation Wednesday that would require K-12 schools to hold three lockdown drills per school year, as well as post verification on their websites that they've completed each drill.
As it stands, K-12 schools are required by state law to hold six fire drills, two tornado drills and two lockdown drills per year. House Bill 4713, introduced by Rep. Joseph Graves, R-Argentine Township, would remove one required fire drill and replace it with an additional lockdown drill.
The legislation would also add additional reporting requirements for schools to prove they've completed each drill. Within five days of completing a drill, a school would be required to post a detailed report on its website that includes the date and time of the drill, the type of drill completed, the person in charge of coordinating the drill, and more.
Supporters of the proposal, including the Michigan State Police, argue that the legislation will increase accountability for schools that don't complete all of their drills, and thus help ensure that all school employees, administrators and students are properly trained in how to deal with emergencies.
However, opponents like the Michigan Association of School Boards and the Michigan Association of School Administrators argue that the additional reporting requirements mandated by the legislation could increase the likelihood of a bad actor getting his or her hands on the drill information and using it to plot an attack.
House Bill 4713 now goes to the state Senate for consideration.

available for immediate purchase and pick-up.
*Please Note!! Many of our pictures are stock photos provided to us by the manufacturer and do not necessarily represent the actual item being purchased. Please verify this picture accurately reflects the product described by the title and description on this page before you place your order.
The Impact's break-open design makes this one easy-to-load,
easy-to-clean muzzleloader. But it's just as easy to shoot, featuring a
1" removable spacer that gives shooters of all sizes the power and fun
of a muzzleloader with a more comfortable fit.
Thompson/Center knows that the best shot comes from a gun that fits.
The 1" Adjustable Buttstock is just another way the Impact ensures
shooters of all ages and sizes are paired with a reliable muzzleloader
in the field.
Designed to open easily for right- or left-handed shooters of all
sizes, the Impact's single shot break-open hood construction means black
powder hunters can spend less time loading and cleaning, and more time
aiming in on that shot of a lifetime.
Every muzzleloader hunter is all-too familiar with removing and
inserting breech plugs. T/C's Triple Lead Thread Breech Plug simplifies
this process, requiring only five turns to screw in, which not only
saves time, but reduces seizing.
One size rifle doesn't fit every hunter – and finding the right fit
often means the difference between bagging a trophy and returning
empty-handed. A 1" spacer is always included with the T/C Impact to
adjust the length of pull to match shooter preference. To determine your
length of pull, simply hold your hand in a position as if you were
holding a pistol grip, with your fingers in a comfortable trigger
Let your arm hang at your side, then make a 90 degree angle between
your elbow and bicep. Measure from your trigger finger to the inside of
your elbow in a straight line. This measurement indicates your length of
Quality that comes installed straight from the T/C factory, the
Impact's Fiber Optic Sights provide highly visible dots that appear to
emit a radiant glow for more accurate shooting.
Featuring a 26" blued Magnum .50 Caliber Muzzleloader Barrel, the T/C
Impact can handle loads up to 150 grains of FFG Black Powder (or an
equivalent black powder substitute) without sacrificing accuracy.
The American-made Impact is backed by the famous T/C Lifetime Warranty, protecting your investment for a lifetime of hunts.

To be a Top Pick, the vehicle also has to be reliable because you don't want to spend
time taking your vehicle to the shop, which can cost you. And the vehicles have to
perform well if they have gone through industry or government crash tests.
Toyota is back this year. Out of the 10 Top Picks, Toyota took five of them. Among them
is the Toyota Camry Hybrid, this year's Top Pick for Family Sedan. It's engaging to
drive, gets an impressive 38 miles per gallon, and has a nice plush interior.
In the Family SUV category, the Toyota Highlander is the Top Pick. And the Toyota
Prius is the Top Pick Green Car. The two other Toyotas that Consumer Reports named
Top Picks are the Toyota RAV4 for Small SUV and the Toyota Sienna for Family
In the past few years Toyota had a lot of recalls, but Consumer Reports' reliability data
has found they are back on track with excellent reliability.
Ford and Chevy each got a top spot. The Chevrolet Avalanche is the 2012 Top Pick for
Pickup Truck. And the Ford Mustang muscled its way to the Top Pick Sporty Car. And
unlike others in its class, it's comfortable and gets pretty good fuel economy.
Complete Ratings and recommendations on all kinds of products, including appliances,
cars & trucks, and electronic gear, are available on Consumer Reports' website.

In recent weeks Saudi Arabia has taken on an uncharacteristically aggressive role in trying to stabilize the Middle East. While the interests of the United States and the Kingdom, as friends and foes call the regime in Riyadh, may not always coincide, the United States would do well to watch these moves with interest and perhaps quietly encourage them.
Last week the Saudis played host in Mecca to the leaders of the two feuding Palestinian factions, Hamas and Fatah, and by the end of the week spokesmen for the two organizations announced publicly that an agreement which should lead to a unity government was in place. Saudi Arabia has also stepped up its involvement in Iraq, and has been supporting the existing government in Lebanon, which is facing large-scale demonstrations by Hezbollah.
Saudi Arabia, the dominant producer of petroleum and the home of the two holiest cities of Islam, Mecca and Medina, usually prefers to work behind the scenes, often sweetening its requests or advice with petrodollars. But the Kingdom, ruled by Wahhabi Sunni Muslims, cannot help but have noticed that Iran, ruled by Shia Muslims who are Persian rather than Arab, has achieved some strategic success and is plainly seeking to become the dominant regional power and perhaps the leading power in the Muslim world. Sunni Saudi Arabia and Shia Iran have been natural adversaries for decades, although both have avoided open clashes.
Saudi Arabia thinks of itself as keeper of the holy cities, as the natural leader of the Islamic world, and it prefers stability to instability, which is bad for business.
The Saudis, who have generally aligned themselves with U.S. interests in the region, can't help but have noticed that the U.S. incursion into Iraq, while perhaps well-intentioned, has not exactly improved stability in the region. So it might behoove the Saudis to pick up the pieces.
The United States would like few things better than to see a coalition of Sunni Arab states — Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt and perhaps a Fatah-led Palestine — effectively countering Iran's growing influence in the Middle East, and perhaps pulling Syria, an Arab country, out of the orbit of Iranian influence.
U.S. and Saudi interests don't always coincide. The United States is backing the Shia-dominated government in Iraq while the Saudis are more concerned that the Sunni minority is not overrun. The Saudis are working with Hamas, while the United States still views it as a terrorist organization with which it refuses to have dealings. The Saudis probably see more hope than the Americans do of pulling Syria out from under Iran's influence. The United States refuses to talk with Iran while Saudi Arabia has held talks at various levels with its longtime adversary.
Although it has instituted some reforms, Saudi Arabia is hardly a democratic, progressive country with a tender concern for the human rights of all residents. But at this stage both Saudi Arabia and the United States have a shared interest in reducing violence and tamping down sectarian aggressiveness in the Middle East. Americans might be wise to hold their noses, hold their breath, and hope for and encourage Saudi success.

Saturday first-class mail ending could impact local businesses
Some big changes are coming to your mail delivery service.
Starting in August, the U.S. Postal Service will no longer deliver first-class mail on Saturdays.
The change could generate a savings of $2 billion annually.
The change comes as more and more people are shopping, paying their bills and keeping connected with friends and family through the Internet.
But even so, there are just some things that still need to be done through traditional mail delivery.
The upcoming changes could mean a delay in some very important information like medical results and tax returns.
In the mail room at Gundersen Lutheran, hundreds of thousands of pieces of mail are processed here each month.
"And that doesn't include the billing piece at all," said Jane Vinson, supervisor of mail services at Gundersen Lutheran. "This is just the day-to-day operations."
While just about everything in the envelopes can be accessed through Gundersen's secure online website, Vinson said some patients, especially the older generation, are still waiting for these letters to come in the mail.
Now that first-class mail deliveries on Saturdays will end, Vinson said the extra wait for the mail is not good news for those patients.
"The patient is going to be anxious (and) they are going to be stressed out," said Vinson. "If my medication going to have to change or if they do have a problem, they're even more anxious because they want to find out what the test results are."
The months of January to mid-April, also known as tax season, are busy and stressful enough for Watermark Tax and Bookkeeping in La Crosse.
Owner, Francine Sherbert said next year's tax season may bring more challenges with the change in deliveries.
"Mainly, it's people want to get their return done as soon as possible and they're going to be upset," said Sherbert.
Sherbert said while 95% of tax returns are filed online, there are still some documents that need to be sent to the government by mail before refunds can be issued.
"They're still at the stage where they want originals to back up things, especially Wisconsin," said Sherbert.
While the end to Saturday first-class mail deliveries is not something Vinson and Sherbert look forward to, it's a change they'll have to embrace to maintain business as usual.
Both Gundersen Lutheran and Water Mark Tax and book keeping said they're still not sure how to prepare for the change.
They said it may require some training and a change in procedure to make sure important documents can arrive on time even without first-class mail services on Saturdays.
Not all Saturday services will end in August. Packages, priority and express mail will still be delivered as well as mail-order medications.

A concept album is a whole CD made of a bunch of songs that all tell parts of the same story or are united via a common theme. Sometimes this works, while other times the "concept" only exists as the flimsiest of notions and falls flat on its face after 15 seconds.
Plenty of bands are drawn to writing concept albums; they get tired of writing four-minute tributes to sex and decide they want to get involved in something big and important with meaning and purpose. They forget that they're musicians, which means they're uninteresting and dumb and should stick to songs about fucking.
4 Tori Amos: Strange Little Girls
Atlantic Records
What's tougher than a concept album? How about a concept album featuring nothing but covers? Because now you're taking a dozen tunes, written by a dozen people, and attempting to make them work together, even if they don't want to. And guess what? They don't.
So when Tori Amos decided that she wanted to try such an album, called Strange Little Girls, people looked at her like she was crazy.
Epic Records
What, her? Nah.
Luckily, she had herself a vision. These wouldn't just be covers, they would be retellings! She would take songs originally sung by men and perform them from "a woman's perspective." Maybe some misogynistic come-hither song could be rewritten so that now a lady is telling some hot dude to be her bedroom toy. And if anyone could do it, it'd be an uber-creative mind like Amos.
She proceeded to not do it at all. And by "not at all," I mean NOT AT ALL. Not one song was rewritten, edited, or feminized in any way. Musically, they were certainly different, which is to be expected when a breathy girl sings Slayer and Eminem on her piano.
Kevin Winter/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Slayer sadly never returned the favor, depriving us of a screaming 9,000-decibel take on "Mr. Zebra."
But lyrically and thematically? Amos didn't change one word of anything, killing the concept on arrival. Of course, it didn't help that many of the songs weren't about men OR women, meaning that just about anyone could have sung them. But even the songs that were very much about a man were left unchanged lyrically, making "a woman's perspective" nothing more than "a woman singing the song." And I can get that any night from the drunks at the local karaoke bar, except I don't yet hate myself enough to do so.
Please, stop believing.
It's clear that Amos very much wanted this concept to work, even creating (and dressing up as) fictionalized personae who were supposedly the girls singing these songs. Sadly, this elaborate game of dress-up failed to give these songs any real female point of view. Even Neil Gaiman's valiant attempts to salvage the idea, via short stories that conveniently explain why these women are singing, just fall flat.
How It Could Have Worked:
It's fairly obvious: She should've sat her butt down and rewrote the damn songs! She already did this musically, and a 20-plus-year career has proven that she knows how words work, so why didn't she use them this time?
Atlantic Records
"You're still talking about the concept album? Oh, I've moved on to this new terrible idea now."
If her goal was to really make us believe that these songs are now feminine, then the lyrics 100 percent need to convey that. True, this could get awkward at times, like in Eminem's song where the female was bound, gagged, and dead in the back of his trunk. But then you either rewrite the song from a dead girl's perspective or turn the whole thing into a cover of John Cage's 4'33". See? Two solutions in five seconds. You're welcome.
3 A Flock of Seagulls: Self-Titled
RCA Records
Despite being mainly known for the worst hairstyle in history, A Flock of Seagulls actually is a real band, with albums and instruments and tours and drug problems and everything.
Redferns/Redferns/Getty Images
They also had a bald guy with a comb-over, so make that TWO of the worst hairstyles in history.
For their debut album (also named A Flock of Seagulls, because they didn't want us to forget such a ridiculous name by only hearing it once), the band decided to sing about an alien abduction. That sounds doable, right? Especially since we don't know if aliens exist and what an abduction would be like. That would give the A Flock total creative freedom to draw up any scenario they wished.
So naturally, they chose the worst possible path: not telling the story at all. Because words are hard, the story lasts exactly one song before taking a permanent seat to simply repeating short phrases time and again until the band's producer pressed the fade-out button. Take a gander at the entirety of Chapter 2, "Space Age Love Song":
I saw your eyes
and you made me smile
for a little while
I was falling in love.
I saw your eyes
and you touched my mind
although it took a while
I was falling in love.
I saw your eyes
and you made me cry
and for a little while
I was falling in love.
I was falling in love
falling in love
falling in love
falling in love
falling in love.
Ian Waldie/Getty Images News/Getty Images
"Falling in love, falling in love, SQUAWK *whistle* falling in love."
You know, for a second there, I wasn't sure if he had fallen in love, and if it was for a little while or longer. Thank God he cleared that up. The lack of detail continues throughout the album, with aliens mentioned rarely, random and meaningless sci-fi references thrown around with reckless abandon, refrains repeated ad nauseam, and the actual story wrapped up never. For all we know, they're still stuck on that ship, although hopefully the aliens have given the guy a brush and a copy of Sensible Haircuts Weekly by now.
How It Could Have Worked:
Perhaps Mr. Seagull should have attended a writing workshop or two and read the story out loud in front of a group of shy housewives and college students. Maybe one of them could have helped flesh out the tale, thereby painting a clearer picture of why the couple was abducted, who these aliens were, where they went, how long they were there, whether filthy alien orgies are a thing, how they escaped, if the aliens chased after them and blew up Earth out of revenge, and so on and so forth.
WireImage/WireImage/Getty Images
Like a toned-down version of David Bowie's origin story.
Or they could just repeat the same three words over and over and over again. That works too, apparently.

I hate to be exclusive, but I would really like to get to know some of you out there with micro preemies. I had a 25 weeker on 1/20/03 due to severe PE. He was IUGR weighing 1lb 3ozs. He had what I feel was a typical micro preemie NICU stay with 12 blood transfusions, 3 staph infections, intubated for 10 weeks (maybe a little long), CLD, endocriditis (not common at all), pulmunary stenosis (probaly not that common), jaundice, Stage 3 ROP (now resolved, yeah!) the list goes on.
Max is coming up on his first birthday and I feel we have challenges that not all other preemies have, but probably what a lot of other micro-preemies have. He is still small, his motor skills are delayed (just hitting 6 month milestones), and he HATES his bottle (ok with pureed foods though). On the positive side, he is health, his pulmonary stenosis has improved, he loves his naps and sleeping (always has) and he is an extremly good natured happy baby (all of the NICU nurses told us micro-preemies are very tempremental, so we brought him home and waited for him to change, but he never did [:D])
I would love to hear some of your stories and especially some of your challenges and how you managed through them.

People in Oregon love their bikes...but a bicycle hearse?
The Sunset Hills Cemetery & Funeral Home in Eugene, Ore., is capitalizing on the idea, offering "one last ride" through the city's scenic bike paths on the back of a three-wheeled bicycle, according to Eugene TV station KVAL.
"When people see it, they do a doubletake and that's kind of a neat thing," funeral home owner Wade Lind said. "It expands their perception. It takes away the fear of death."
He told KVAL he got the idea from bikers and designed the bicycle hearse himself.
With 120 pounds of metal and 150 to 300 pounds of dead weight, the load can get a little heavy, so Lind outfitted the hearse with a small electric motor to help with pedaling last fall.
He's bicycled five bodies so far and there's now a waiting list -- including himself, someday.

Wisconsin's gun deer season opening weekend ended with at least two hunting fatalities.
Shawn Lemanski, 41, of Grafton, died from injuries suffered when he fell from a tree stand in the Marathon County town of Cassel. Also, Steven Jackson, 51, of Antigo, died after he was found unresponsive in the woods near Gleason in Lincoln County. Both deaths happened Saturday.
State Department of Natural Resources hunter education administrator Jon King says the highest number of people are out in the woods on opening weekend than at any other time of the year, so the chances of an accident are also higher.
King tells the Green Bay Press-Gazette careless gun handling is a primary concern because hunters are getting in and out of their tree stands with loaded guns.
WIZM radio reports a 22-year-old Milwaukee man died while hunting on the grounds of Fort McCoy. Authorities say Thomas Stamborski suffered a gunshot wound on land approved for hunting.
All deaths occurred Saturday.

Sarah Meyer: PNT Staff Writer
Local college and university leaders are pleased with the unofficial results of votes for bonds C and D.
Roosevelt and Curry County voters clearly favored the bonds, which
will provide Clovis Community College with $4 million toward
construction of the Allied Health Center and Eastern New Mexico
University with $12 million for building improvements.
Statewide, with about 94 percent of precincts reporting, the bonds
were passing late Tuesday — Bond D by 58-42 percent and Bond C by 65-35
"I'd like to thank the citizens of the state, and especially
Roosevelt and Curry counties, for voting in favor of Bond D," said ENMU
President Steven Gamble said. "This bond will provide $12 million to
the students and faculty of ENMU to improve our facilities.
"This money is really needed and we pledge to be good stewards of its use."
John Neibling, president of CCC, said passage of Bond C will allow expansion.
"It will allow us to actually finish that building over the next
couple of years," he said. "It will allow us to move the nursing
program completely to the new building and allow radiological tech to
expand to where nursing currently is."
Roosevelt County voted 3,612 to 2,191 in favor of Bond C, and 3,787 to 2,213 in favor of Bond D.
Curry County had voted 6,175 to 4,046 in favor of Bond C, and 5,798
to 4,484 in favor of Bond D with about 2,000 votes still out at 11:45
Statewide, all bonds seemed to be passing.
Bond A, for a total of $14.7 million for senior citizen facilities,
including $45,700 for Curry County senior centers and $28,200 for
Roosevelt County senior center equipment and meals equipment, had 59
percent of statewide votes in favor, with 94 percent of precincts
The majority of Roosevelt and Curry county voters supported Bond A.
Bond B, for $11 million dollars, provides funds for libraries,
including schools and public libraries in Curry and Roosevelt counties.
Statewide, with 94 percent of precincts reporting, 52 percent of voters
were in favor of Bond B.


text: I am a surrogate mum and started electric b/pumping colostrum before she was born. I continued to pump since she was born 4 days ago and my milk came in yesterday I pumped every 2 to 3 hours to make my supply and have been getting plenty, 60mls the very 1st pump and then 30mls each time but my boobs still feel quite lumpy afterwards even though they seem to have emptied. I do massage them a little before pumping and pump for at least 20 mins etc, is it ok to still have them lumpy and maybe still milk in them?

I have been nursing her since we came home from the hospital with a nipple shield because I have flat nipples and my daughter was latching on incorrectly and damaging my nipples. We just came home from the Dr. who instructed us to start supplementing due to her sluggish weight gain. She weighed 8lbs 10ozs. at birth and now weighs 9 lbs 11 ozs. I am so frustrated because I cannot get her to latch on without the nipple shield, I cannot get her to open her mouth wide enough to take the beast and she get fussy and gassy whenever I give her formula.
I've consulted 3 lactation consultants and am still struggling to get oour problems solved.
Thanks for reading!

You have made the 5 millionth Anti-D'Antoni thread in the last 2 months!
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]But all that is circumstance. Lets get down to what this is about. Defense, and the lack thereof. Im not trying to abdicate the value of defense. The Knicks can not be, under any reasonable set of expectations or circumstances, an elite team, and almost all of that has to do with their lack of defense. From personnel, to system, to approach, their team is built to sufficiently ignore defense. The only reason they even acknowledge its existence is to get the ball back. Bear in mind Im a believer that the DAntoni Defensive Sieve is a myth. His Suns teams were far from stalwarts but nor were they the Raptors of last season. They were fine. Just not fine enough, especially not for the grotesque, misshapen, UFC-style ball that makes up the NBA playoffs. But even I can recognize that this cohesive roster is going to be abhorrent on defense.
Last year... sound familiar?
Here's my favorite part...Mike D'Antoni's excuse-making days are over By Kelly Dwyer This has to be Mike D'Antoni's low point. This has to be as bad as it gets. Has to be. Otherwise, he's got some splainin' to do. He's tried before, mind you. With the"splainin'." D'Anton has never been shy about going on record regarding why, exactly, he's not playing this guy, won't play this guy or any potential combination of the myriad things the Knicks coach can or did do to his various guys. He's been vague, he's been wrong, he's been petty, he's been right, he's been churlish and he's been charming in his explanations. But this has to be the end of it. A month left in the season, the Knicks falling short of the playoffs, the last year of the Great Do-Over, and with Jordan Hill(notes) now having passed through town - this has to be it. OK, April 6 might have to be the end of it. That's the day Nate Robinson(notes) and the Celtics pass through New York. But that has to be the end of it. It has to be D'Antoni's low point. The last chance anyone has to question him. We're allowed to question him today because D'Antoni pulled off that right/wrong/jerk-ish/petty thing yesterday...
ow... ow.... I know.... Mike D'Antoni inflates stats!Because people are doubting you. They're doubting the way you coach, they're doubting the way you handle players of any type (to say nothing of the good or bad versions of those types), and with Steve Nash(notes) out pushing a team full of 90-year-olds and Robin Lopez(notes) on a 52-win pace in a West that's harder than ever, they're wondering what it is, exactly, that you do.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]The three-pointer isn't always the best shot. Yes, the D'Antoni offense welcomes the open three, but some nights (like Thursday), those aren't going to fall. Still, quarter after quarter, the likes of Felton, Wilson Chandler and Gallinari kept firing as if points would be awarded at a volume discount. Logic says a target is easier to hit the closer you get to it, so why not try? Mid-range shots were available; the Heat were practically begging the Knicks to take them. Yet they seldom did. Though it worked out in the end as Gallinari and Fields caught fire in the fourth, far too many nights have seen the Knicks fall when their threes don't. With a team as close to being consistently good as New York is, why not take what a defense gives you? Maybe a shooter or two finds a rhythm and you won't need to stage a 29-15, fourth-quarter rally to squeeze past a Heat team minus one of its top players.
Who knows? Maybe D'Antoni found a new way to make a wheel. I bet his supporters don't know either. But hey, this game is still young.
Here's another good article on who's to blame...
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]Suspect #1: Coach Mike DAnton DAntoni has always been an offense-first type of coach. The Knicks are averaging 101.6 PPG, 11th best in the league. DAntonisfast-break style of offense has made the team seemingly one- dimensional. The Knicks are shooting only 34% from behind the arc (7th worst in the league) and grabbing only 23% of offensive rebounds(4th worst in the league). Defensively, the Knicks have been abysmal. They are giving up 104.5 PPG, (5th worst in the league). They are only rebounding 47% of missed shots(league average is around 50%) and have been allowing opponents to shoot 47.7% from the field, (5th worst in the league). Theres no excuse for the way that the Knicks have been playing. Its the coachs job to motivate the players and have them play better defense. DAntoni does not have direct control over team acquisitions, but Donnie Walsh has given DAntoni some respectable parts(McGrady) to use in this transition year. DAnton has been almost indifferent to change his lack-luster defensive approach. This team should not be allowing 104.5 PPG. DAnton has failed the Knicks and the fans of New York this season.
This is from last year, but notice we are actually givng up more points now than then. Smh.
The verdict...
Players or coach?Whos To Blame: Mike DAntoni The uninspiring play this season is solely Mike DAntonis fault. The Knicks have some good players, but he has not been able to get this team to play as a unit. Even in this transition year, Donnie Walsh has given DAntoni some respectable players. DAnton must add a new defensive outlook or his tenure in the Big Apple will come to an end.
Players or system?
Ever hear of "unintended consequences"?

It just gets tired after a while...you won't convince me you are looking at things totally objectively, just like I won't convince you that I am...threads like this just perpetuate the same discussion with two diametric opposite viewpoints that happens 9 trillion times daily on this website.

I'm not convinced by D'Antoni at all, but let's wait for the playoffs. If we play the type of defense we played last night against Chicago, Mike D has my vote.
Btw, I can't wait to see how well our defense plays when /if we add some stars.
Theoretically we definitly should be better.
I was just sitting here like damn...KO.com doesn't have enough anti-D'ant threads and here came Red to save the day!
This thread is fatally flawed. All sizzle no steak. The posting equivalent of a high-pitched, weak, desperate guy at a bar during last call, making a lot of noise and going up to every person with chromosomes acting big, thinking he will actually score a girl; or make people think he is.
We are an unexpectedly dangerous team, we are a team of optimism, we are playoff bound, we are poised to be a 6th seed, we are positioned to finish the season even stronger, we have had unexpectedly great play from rookies and no-names, we have exceeded the predictions and expectations of fans and experts.
Aka, Coach D'antoni reads these threads and smiles at the forced gloom, before asking the OP how is ass tastes.
Thanks Uggg..!
Let's just add "tries too hard", and "d*ck rides" to your list of traits.
Id like to also point out how insignificant your opinions are... I posted some fine articles for our pleasure echoing some sentiments
And you took this opportunity to suck Trills d*ck....huh?
Keep it moving, and take your corny anologies with you, we all know you have nothing constructive to add.
How's trills a$$ taste?

Approximately 99 percent of haunted house stories begin the same way: The owners move into a house that seems too good to be true. Then there is some foreshadowing via rumors from the neighbors, and finally a gruesome discovery.
But that chain of events isn't just the stuff of movies and campfire stories. Real homeowners have moved into their new digs only to find horrors like ...
6An Old Burial Ground
OK, based on what you have seen in horror movies/novels/TV shows, what is the one single thing that ensures your home will be infested with ghosts and/or poltergeists? Without question, it's building your house on top of a burial ground. You're angering not just one restless spirit, but dozens, who are sure to take vengeance on whoever has disturbed their sacred resting place.
"You could at least desecrate our graves tastefully."
So of all the possible things in the world you can find in your new home, none can be quite as unsettling as plunging a shovel into the floor of your basement only to have a child's skull come rolling out.
"See, honey? Kids love basements!"
Wait, What?
That's exactly what happened to Helen Weisensel. And it turned out that, yes, her home had been built atop an old, long-forgotten cemetery-- one that archaeologists and local historians estimated to be among the earliest in Wisconsin's Jefferson County, which would make it a good 170 years old. Meaning the spirits could have theoretically been restless over slavery, Native American atrocities, you name it.
"We're just miffed about the dry rot. Have some pride, Helen."
Weisensel's nightmare didn't just end with the bones of a child being unearthed from beneath where she slept. First, there were the pesky -- yet quite pertinent -- inquiries from the neighbors.
"So the cat's vomiting blood and calling for Azathoth. I thought you might know something about that."
"Everybody asks me ... 'Did you have weird things happen in your home?' I say, 'No, my house is just fine,'" Weisensel said of her neighbors. And it's really not a surprise that nothing weird had happened: She probably hadn't made Them angry. Yet.
But then came the real curse known as bureaucracy. See, Weisensel's remodeling project involved her really trying to fix her house. As in, her house needed serious foundation work, which immediately became impossible the moment her home became an official historic burial ground. In order to go through with any renovations, she became legally bound to get the go ahead from the State Historical Society, which in turn would require the hiring of an archaeologist to oversee any and all work, which would cost her $100 an hour.
Eighty percent of that was just wear and tear on fedoras and Nazis.
Before it was all over, Weisensel ended up having to wait 15 months before the state of Wisconsin finally gave her the green light to make those repairs to her home's foundation. Which would constitute a completely happy ending, if it weren't for the fact that she's still living directly atop the skeletons of dozens of slumber-disturbed dead people.
5Walls Full of Snakes
Ah, small town Idaho. Is there any place on earth less likely to be host to unthinkable horror? Or anything else?
So, you've bought your idyllic new home, and you're prepared to live the quiet life.
Idaho: A place to exist.
One day, you find a snake in the yard. Well, no big deal. They help keep mice away, right? Then you find another. And then you find three dozen more.
And then you start to hear a rustling in your walls ...
Wait, What?
Meet Ben and Amber Sessions, who found out that what they thought was their dream home was actually what the locals had come to refer to as...
Because it's infested with bears.
Soon after moving in, Ben was finding more than 40 snakes in his yard in a single day, carrying them off his property in buckets.
They never had to go to KFC again.
Not long after that, the Sessionses spent a sleepless night listening to a noise ... almost a slithering in their walls.
When Ben removed a panel of siding, dozens of snakes came bursting out.
Ben's harrowing inspection beneath their crawlspace the next morning revealed the enormity of the situation: Their new dream home was sitting atop an enormous snake hibernaculum. Which is to say, they were living smack dab in the middle of Snake City.
Animal Planet
Population: All of the snakes.
All the implications instantly came crashing down around them. The curious taste of their tap water, which Ben initially described as "onion-like"? That's the musk that snakes release when frightened. A consultation with a herpetologist informed them that snakes also defecate when emitting their musk, and that snake feces is a good way to catch salmonella and tape worms. And so, to review, the Sessionses and their two children had been using snake shit water to drink, shower and bathe. And Amber was pregnant with their third child.
They'll need to buy her a new baby gown every time she sheds her skin.
Then, just to make everything good and properly horror movie-worthy, Amber was watching TV one day when she saw a brief local story about another family that had fled their home due to a snake infestation. "We're not alone!" she must have thought, feeling at least somewhat relieved. Then she noticed the house was in the same town as hers. Then she noticed it was the same house as hers.
She was watching a TV program about her home's previous owners having fled her current house in terror.
When we move, we usually write warning notes to the new owners. On their walls. In blood.
Amber would later find out from the previous owners themselves that they'd abandoned it without thinking there was any way the real estate company would actually have the balls to try to sell that "Satan's lair" of a home.
In the end, it turned out the only way to neutralize the problem of such a massive, established snake den beneath their home would have been to raise the entire house off its current foundation so as to lay down a new concrete foundation beneath it. In their case, it was a job that would cost a minimum of $100,000. So the Sessionses also ended up abandoning the place, having to file for bankruptcy in the process. When they found out that a "For Sale" sign had gone up again, they went to the media in order to save the next victims from having their shit terrified.

Horachek took over after Kevin Dineen was fired on Nov. 8. The Panthers posted a 26-36-4 record under Horachek and finished the season with the second-lowest point total (66) in the NHL.
"Peter worked very diligently since taking over as interim head coach in November, but at this time we feel that a fresh approach and a new direction is needed behind our bench," Panthers GM Dale Tallon said in a statement. "We will immediately begin an extensive search for a new and experienced coach for our franchise, who will guide the Panthers to future success."
The 54-year-old Horachek was promoted from the Panthers' San Antonio AHL affiliate to take the job when Florida started poorly under Dineen. After Horachek arrived, the Panthers responded by going 10-8-1 but then struggled near the end of the season. They posted a 6-14-1 record in their final 21 games and finished next-to-last in the Atlantic Division.
The franchise, which has missed the playoffs in 12 of the past 13 seasons, has now dismissed three coaches in the past three years. Tallon said a search will begin immediately for a new coach.
