Hell Is for Heroes were an English post-hardcore band from London. Founder members Will McGonagle and Joe Birch (previously of Symposium) were joined by James Findlay, Tom O'Donoghue and later Justin Schlosberg. The band played their formative shows in West London throughout 2001.
After two independently released singles, Hell Is for Heroes released their debut album in February 2003 on EMI. The Neon Handshake was produced and recorded in Los Angeles at Sound City Studios and mixed in Umeå, Sweden at Tonteknik by Pelle Henricsson and Eskil Lövström. The band's A&R was managed by Duncan Illing. The band and their A&R left EMI in 2004. The band released its second album Transmit Disrupt independently, before signing a deal with Burning Heart Records, who subsequently re-released it in 2006. Their final self-titled album was released through Golf Records in 2007.
Their debut album was voted the 58th best British rock album ever, by the readers of Kerrang! magazine in the 19 February 2005 issue.[1]
In October 2008, the band announced its indefinite hiatus.
On 26 June 2012, it was announced that they are reforming to play three shows alongside Hundred Reasons and Cable in November.
Band line-up[edit]
- Justin Schlosberg – vocals
- William McGonagle – guitar
- Tom O'Donoghue – guitar
- James Findlay – bass
- Joe Birch – drums
Early days[edit]
Will McGonagle and Joe Birch were two members of the former British band Symposium. Their final release was in 1999 and, by the end of 2000, due to personal and musical differences, and problems with their record label, they had split up.[2] Before long they joined up with their former school friends, James Findlay and Tom O'Donoghue, to form what would become with Hell is for Heroes, but they still lacked a lead singer. Justin Schlosberg was recruited through mutual friends.
In January 2001, they had performed their first gig at The Half Moon in Putney, London. In March that year they toured as support for Biffy Clyro, and at the end of that tour they had recruited a loyal fan base which meant the band caught the attention of major record labels. In July 2001, they signed with EMI. It took all that year before Hell Is for Heroes released their debut single on Superior Quality Recordings. It was a double A-side, featuring two songs that would later appear on their debut album, "Sick/Happy" and "Cut Down".
The band next released "You Drove Me To It" with the B-sides "Things Fall Apart" and "Kill the Silence" in January 2002. That year saw the release of two more singles, "I Can Climb Mountains" and "Nightvision". The latter track included "Folded Paper Figures" on the B-side, which became popular with their fanbase, and was later re-recorded and used on their second album.
The Neon Handshake[edit]
The Neon Handshake was issued in February 2003, and gained a positive reviews from the NME.[3] It peaked at No. 16 in the UK Albums Chart.[4] Hell is for Heroes' videos appeared regularly on major music television channels, and the band continued to tour across the UK keeping up their reputation as one of the premier live bands of the day.[5] One performance of that time at The Astoria in London was filmed, and shown by MTV2.
In early 2003, "You Drove Me To It", which had been re-mastered for the album version was re-released as a single. Shortly after the release of the album, the band went on tour with Feeder for five dates of their UK tour.[6] Hell Is for Heroes' live appearances included the Carling Weekend Reading and Leeds Festival on the BBC Radio 1 stage.
However, in 2004, changes within EMI saw Chrysalis Records, which owned the rights to Hell Is for Heroes closed down, and another subsidiary subsequently decide to part company with the band.
Transmit Disrupt[edit]
In May 2004, the band recorded their second album with the independent record label, Captains of Industry. The first single release was "One Of Us", which did not enjoy their previous major label's promotion efforts. "Models for the Programme" was then followed by "Kamichi" before the album's release. Transmit Disrupt flopped at No. 87 in the UK chart.
Burning Heart Records[edit]
In September 2005, Hell Is for Heroes signed with Burning Heart Records.[7] Transmit Disrupt was re-released, and "Models For The Programme" was given a new video. In February 2006, the band announced on their website that they had "come out of hibernation", and "New Song" appeared on the band's website.[8] This was followed by a tour and, in July, "Eject Eject Eject", was available for free download on MySpace.
Golf Records and Hell Is For Heroes[edit]
In February 2007, Hell is for Heroes began their UK, Ireland and European tour. "You've Got Hopes" was placed on the band's Myspace page. In April the band released the track listing of their new album on their official site.[9] In June the band's third, eponymous album was released on Golf Records. Reviews and interviews in Kerrang! brought the album to a wider audience and the band embarked upon a sponsored tour throughout June, playing the Barfly venues in the UK.
On 25 October 2007, Hell Is for Heroes stated:
Our forthcoming hop around the UK will be our last full length stint on the road before the reunion tour in 2037. We're up for spending more time at home working on other projects and potentially a fourth album if we can beat our last effort. Plus we reckon 7 years in the van is a fair stretch by any standards.[10]
The band were forced to cancel three dates at the end of the 2007 tour due to illness. In October 2008, the band announced their final UK tour, with their final concert on 12 December 2008 at the Glasgow Barfly.
2012 news[edit]
In June 2012, the band announced that they will be supporting Hundred Reasons at their upcoming 10th Anniversary shows, playing The Neon Handshake in full along with other songs from their back catalogue. Guitarist Will McGonagle commented on the upcoming shows, "We've been friends with Hundred Reasons for over 10 years, so when they suggested playing our first records together it sounded like fun. We are really proud of all the music we've made together and look forward to getting together to smash out The Neon Handshake. The early 2000s were exciting times for British rock music. It was a special time for our bands, who toured together and forged strong friendships. Who knows, maybe one day there'll be a Shatterproof/Transmit Disrupt show too hahahaha."[11]

|Re: couch restart triggers view rebuild
|Fri, 08 Apr 2011 22:59:18 GMT
Update on this issue of view rebuilds. I was able to reliably reproduce this issue on 1.0.1 and 1.0.2. Ultimately, the answer here seemed to be to write a view that reduces more quickly. I understand that this is appropriate with couch best-practices, but it still strikes me as a bug that a poorly reducing view would not be able to have it's indices stored across couchdb restarts.

"Cops wanna knock me, D.A. wanna box me in. But somehow, I beat them charges like Rocky." - Jay-Z
Jackson Beat It
My theory is that people move to, or live in, California because they're enchanted by celebrity. And this is reflected in the juries.
Or maybe it's just that celebrities get the best defense money can buy.
In addition, nearly 58% of the voters in my poll were correct (if we count both "Not Guilty" votes and "Guilty But Will Be Acquitted" votes.) I might have to call on you, the voters, to predict the outcome of my next trials.

We watched the verdict at work. I wanted to say, "Blonde Justice totally called it!" But then I realized nobody would know what I was talking about (or maybe they would, but wouldn't want to reveal that they, too, dwell in the Internets).

I think the big difference between PD cases and celebrity cases is the level of funding available for investigators. PD's are experienced and are often good at trials but don't have as much to work with because they don't have the resources to dig up good stuff. Look at the Kobe case too, the case was dismissed after the defense dug up stuff on the accuser.ReplyDelete
We convicted Winona Ryder...ReplyDelete
I seem to recall that the accuser in this case accepted a settlement from Jackson several years ago, when the accusations first appeared in the press, and was not willing to press charges then -- but the law was changed so that the state can force a victim to testify.ReplyDelete
So it wouldn't surprise me to learn that both the accuser and his mother were unconvincing on purpose.
It also wouldn't surprise me if this prosecutor's real motive was to take down a celebrity and (metaphorically) mount his head on his office wall. Otherwise he would have prosecuted at least a few of the Catholic priests who have committed the same crime.
It's hard to point the finger of shame in a situation where nobody's hands are clean.

I was traveling in San Diego on vacation and needed my hair done. Was greeted at the salon immediately as I walked in the door of the salon. The owner was a really nice guy who had a passion for the environment of the salon and this was evident. Stephanie was my stylist for the appointment and she was amazing, skilled, warm, genuine, and resourceful. This experience was great and I highly recommend this fabulous salon to all.

This explains a lot. About a month ago I was debating evolution with a Christian (the YEC variety) on my friend's facebook page (my friend invited me over). He kept sending me links to different creationist websites and articles, but for over half of them I got a warning from my computer about malware. Suffice it to say, I didn't go to any of the ones with warnings and I was able to thoroughly destroy all the ones I did read, and the guy said he didn't even read past the first page of a TalkOrigins article I sent to him. He said he didn't want to be influenced by it or something. I guess the devil wrote everything over there on TalkOrigins.

When new paint is applied to a car, even when baked, the car is returned with earnest advice not to wax, treat or otherwise suffocate the new paint for a good while. Something in the 30+ day range. And that's in AZ where anything that is going to evaporate barely makes it from the gun to the car in the first place.
It's worth considering that when you pick a car up directly from the manufacturer it can be only a few days old, and rarely older than 2 weeks. Even were I a proponent of clearbras I'd have to think twice about putting them on a car with a paint age which is measured in tens of hours. Especially in cooler seasons when any precautionary curing time would have to be extended. It's the least cured deepest layer of paint which closest to the plastic/metal bodywork that you need to worry about - if someone has to peel off a poorly positioned clearbra section there is a small chance that the paint would choose to stick to the clearbra material and separate from the car body instead. A paint tear would really upset you if you're a fan of perfect paint.
Better to enjoy the car as Gott and BMW intended while in Europe and know that the world's best no-quibble zero-deductible insurance will make you painlessly whole for any paint injuries which might have been mitigated by a clearbra.
While we're on the topic, who ARE those people who cocoon the front of their car in thick heavy black vinyl bras? In AZ. In summer? The environment underneath one of those things has to be even more damaging to paint than the conditions inside a Bolivian unicyclist's jock-strap. (ACKs to NTNOCN, BBC).

Miranda Lambert
Miranda Lambert is an American country music singer. She became famous through Nashville Star in 2003 and has won multiple Grammy Awards. Miranda just announced her engagement to Blake Shelton.
Bringing her vocal stylings to an impressive stage, Miranda Lambert performed at the 49th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards on Sunday night (April 6).
The blonde beauty belted out her hit "Automatic" at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas after she took home the prize for Single Record of the Year for her song "Mama's Broken Heart."
Living it up in Sin City, Miranda Lambert took a break from her busy schedule to make time for the 2014 Academy of Country Music Awards earlier tonight (April 6).
Donning a gold gown, the "Mama's Broken Heart" songstress was joined on the red carpet by her hosting hubby Blake Shelton.
As the Country Music genre continues to grow in popularity, shows like the 49th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards are all the more important.
This year, Tim McGraw and Miranda Lambert are each up for seven trophies, while Grammy performer Keith Urban has half a dozen shots at glory.
She's no stranger to the music scene, so it's no wonder Miranda Lambert was right at home at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards earlier tonight (January 26).
All glammed up in a gorgeous gown, the country star posed with her hubby Blake Shelton (rocking a grey John Varvatos Austin Jacket) and chatted up press outside the Staples Center before going inside to take her seat.
Launching yet another false divorce report, the National Enquirer reported that Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton are involved in a divorce case...again.
Stating that the country singer couple is currently involved in a "$100 million divorce," the supermarket tabloid took things a bit too far for both of them.
Now in its fourth year, the 2013 American Country Awards honored the genre's top artists in Las Vegas on Tuesday evening (December 10).
The event, which was held at the Mandalay Bay, was hosted by crooner Trace Adkins and NASCAR driver Danica Patrick.
Unable to ignore a pesky rumor that's lately been making headlines, Miranda Lambert personally denied reports that she had weight loss surgery.
After revealing a slimmer figure on the red carpet, the "Mama's Broken Heart" singer fired back at gossip via her blog on her website.
He's one of the hottest country singers in the business, and Keith Urban's latest single "We Were Us" also includes a certain southern lady.
In a new behind-the-scenes clip, the "Days Go By" crooner teams with Miranda Lambert to talk about all that went into the recording process.
She's always been a country cutie, but Miranda Lambert recently went on a diet to cut some fat and slim her figure.
The "Only Prettier" babe tried a few tricks to lose weight as part of her 30th birthday celebrations, and she's all about sharing the plan with her fans.
It's country music's biggest night and there were definitely plenty of moments to remember from the 2013 CMA Awards held at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena on Wednesday (November 6).
Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley did an incredible job hosting the evening's big event, entertaining the audience with a number of jokes and musical skits.

Sudden cardiac arrest: tracking a silent killer
Sudden deaths from cardiac arrest areon the rise, even among athletes, and doctors are struggling towork out why, writesElaine Yau
The unfortunate demise of Hong Kong resident Andy Naylor at a triathlon race two weekends ago has brought attention to sudden death, cases of which are rising in this city, figures indicate.
The 43-year-old, a top local runner and Hong Kong police superintendent, "experienced distress" near the end of the 3.8-kilometre swim leg in the Hudson River during the Ironman US Championship in New York, according to race organisers. The results of an autopsy are pending.
Naylor's death comes a year after two athletes died of sudden cardiac arrest in the 1.5-kilometre swimming portion of the New York City Triathlon, also in the Hudson River.
Minneapolis Heart Institute cardiologist Kevin Harris published a study in 2010 in
The Journal of the American Medical Association analysing the results of 2,971 USA Triathlon-sanctioned events held between January 2006 and September 2008, involving nearly 960,000 participants.
During that period, 14 participants died. Thirteen of them, aged between 28 and 65, died while swimming and another while cycling. Autopsies identified cardiovascular abnormalities as factors behind seven of nine swimming deaths.
Harris' study found a sudden-death rate of 1.5 per 100,000 competitors in triathlons, while the rate in marathons over a 30-year period was 0.8 per 100,000.
Evidence suggests that exercise seems to trigger or cause sudden cardiac death in athletes with underlying heart disease, says Dr Timothy Noakes, a sports science professor at the University of Cape Town in South Africa.
A consultant cardiologist with Yan Chai Hospital in Tsuen Wan, Dr Stephen Tam Kin-ming, says about 20 per cent of sudden-death cases are caused by heart conditions that have existed since birth, such as coronary artery anomalies and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, where a portion of the heart muscle becomes thicker without any obvious cause.
These are widely believed to be the leading causes of death, particularly in young athletes.
Other victims have structurally normal hearts, but die of heart rhythm disorders. Ventricular tachycardia (fast heart rhythm) and ventricular fibrillation (irregular heart rhythm) can trigger acute coronary syndrome, where blood supply to the heart is suddenly blocked, causing sudden death.
"[These victims] haven't had any ultrasound tests and the heart problem remains hidden. Sports veterans who are susceptible to sudden cardiac death usually suffer from hidden heart disease," says Tam, who is also the chairman of the Hong Kong Public Hospitals Cardiologist Association.
Recent studies shed light on the role of genetics in underlying heart conditions. An
American Journal of Cardiology study published online last month confirmed the link between the sickle-cell trait - a genetic condition behind a blood disorder - and cardiac death among young African-American male athletes, especially football players.
The sickle-cell trait affects about 8 per cent of the American population.
A large and comprehensive investigation by an international team of researchers, published last year in
PLoS Genetics, discovered a variation in the human DNA sequence that was linked to a significant increase in the risk of sudden cardiac death.
"Our analysis suggests if you have one copy of this variant, your increased risk is double that of someone who doesn't," wrote lead author Dan Arking of Johns Hopkins University. "If you have two copies, having inherited one from each parent, you have almost a fourfold increased risk of sudden cardiac death."
Not all cardiac arrests are caused by underlying or genetic heart disease. In Hong Kong, cardiologists say, lifestyle factors, such as fast-food diets and the lack of physical activity are greater culprits. Because sudden cardiac arrest is so often linked to coronary artery disease, the risk factors are similar.
The rising number of sudden deaths in Hong Kong is mirrored in the spike in deaths caused by coronary heart disease - the narrowing of small blood vessels - which has gone up by some 50 per cent from a decade ago. Department of Health figures show that 6,400 people died of heart disease in 2009, accounting for 15.6 per cent of all deaths in Hong Kong. One-third of these fatalities were sudden.
And cardiologist Tam says the victims are getting younger and younger. "While people aged 50 got it in the past, sufferers are just 30 or 40 [years old] now. The rising incidence among young people has to do with poor lifestyle."
A recent report by the cardiologist association cited taxi and commercial drivers as among those in high-risk occupations where workers are predisposed to die suddenly.
Figures retrieved from local newspaper reports showed that a total of 24 local drivers aged between 29 and 81 - half of whom were cabbies - died abruptly in the 12 months to May this year.
"Many drivers are living high-risk lifestyles with irregular mealtimes, a diet heavy in salt, sugar and fat, and a sedentary lifestyle," Tam says.
"Eighty per cent of sudden-death cases [are caused by] coronary heart disease, [which in turn is] caused by smoking, stress, poor diet, obesity and lack of exercise … Besides, [heart attacks] may occur in coronary-heart-disease sufferers during strenuous exercise such as a marathon," he adds.
Professor Yu Cheuk-man, head of Prince of Wales Hospital's cardiology unit, says the symptoms are unnoticed in most sudden-death cases. "Those with [irregular heartbeats] will feel heart palpitations and pass out gradually. Some die on the first attack."
Heart attack symptoms include intense chest pain, heart palpitations, cold sweat, dizziness and shortness of breath. But Duncan Ho Hung-kwong, a cardiology specialist with the Hong Kong Sanatorium and Hospital, says victims rarely show these signs.
"The symptom of chest pain extending to the upper jaw and arms - always mentioned by people and the media - is only seen in very few people. Any kind of [discomfort] can be a sign of heart attack, like shoulder pain and back pain.
"It's likely that sufferers misinterpret it as only muscle pain. The symptoms can be mild, like those for a cold," Ho warns.
One of his recent patients felt nauseous while walking, after eating breakfast. The patient went home, vomited and felt better. Still, he went to hospital as a precaution.
"We did an electrocardiogram [which records the heart's electrical signals] and it turned out he had just suffered a heart attack," says Ho.
He says everyone should get at a check-up as a precaution, especially those who have a family history of heart disease.
The tests include an ultrasound for the heart-thickening condition, a scan of the coronary arteries' size as well as a stress test where patients run on a treadmill while connected to an electrocardiogram, which tracks how the heart responds to stress and exercise.
Chinese University researchers have been studying Hongkongers who have suffered sudden heart attacks since 2007, with more than 2,000 people having been analysed so far. Yu, from Prince of Wales, says the study aims to explore the effects of high-risk factors on coronary heart disease.
To their surprise, the researchers found that half of the Hongkongers had only one or zero high-risk factors before they were stricken. In contrast, it takes two or three high-risk factors for a foreigner to have a heart attack.
"We do not know the reason for the discrepancy … Maybe it has to do with our rice-based diet which is heavy in carbohydrates," Yu says. "We are still recruiting patients for the study and will study what predisposes them to heart attacks."

text: Hey everyone. This board has been very helpful. It has convinced me to buy a V instead of an older (01/02) M5. I love BMW but maybe the V is the better car in terms of performance and value (and maintenance?!?). The M5 kinda scares me with the maintenance and repair costs. Anyhow, if you have one for sale, pick me! Prefer black on black, mods OK but must be babied and in mind shape. Thanks!

It's clear to me that to fully test the ATI Radeon X800 XT and the nVidia GeForce 6800 Ultra, you're going to need one of the fastest PCs on the planet. To this end, TrustedReviews is going to try and get hold of/build/steal/pray for such a machine and then get these cards back in the labs for some more tests.
One thing is for certain though, we have crossed the boundary of a new generation of graphics hardware, and this time it's not just marketing hype, it's the real deal.
The Radeon X800 is one hell of a graphics solution and the fact that ATI has managed to squeeze this much performance out of a part that draws less power than its predecessor is a truly stunning achievement.
It's impossible to say whether ATI or nVidia is going to win the graphics battle that's looming this summer, but for once it looks like the consumer is in a win/win situation. However, with the explosion in popularity for small form factor systems, that has to put ATI in a slightly stronger position as far as market share goes.
Just like Ruby, anyone with a next generation card will be smiling
Like nVidia a few weeks earlier, ATI has managed to significantly raise the bar for graphics performance. The X800 XT is a blindingly fast card, but to be honest, there are few out there who'd be disappointed with the performance of the X800 Pro. All we have to do now is wait for production boards, and for the CPU manufacturers to produce something fast enough to get the most out of the latest graphics chips.

It really is a "Complete Guide"

About Me Developer
I am a computer programmer and application developer, and I have purchased several of Matthew MacDonald's books over the years. I can honestly say that he always explains all aspects of the subject at hand, in a clear, concise and easy to understand manner regardless of the subject's complexity. I can also say pretty much the same thing about the Missing Manual series of books by O'Reilly.In this case I was producing my first ever blog, Sensible Health Choice, and after some research decided that WordPress was the way to go, and then browsed through several of the books and book ratings on using WordPress, and ended up with the MacDonald Missing Manual book. As usual, I wasn't disappointed.Although I have produced plenty of websites, this was my first experience at producing a blog, and I needed to learn blogging and WordPress from scratch. MacDonald starts out with basic stuff like should you just use the WordPress.com site for hosting, or host it on some other site such as GoDaddy along with how to get it installed and running there.Then he takes you through actually getting the blog built and into installing the plugins you will need. Finally he shows how to get set up to connect up with Facebook, Twitter, etc. for "Attracting a Crowd", which is possibly some of the most important advice in the book. After all, why publish a blog, unless you want someone to read it?If you are already familiar with all these technical aspects of WordPress, and you're looking for advice on how to write appealing copy on your blog, there are better books out there on blogging in general, not specific to WordPress.

A very granular division in Chapters
By Giuseppe Simpatia
from Florence, Italy
About Me Sys Admin, System Administrator
Like many others from "The Missing Manual" series do, this book covers virtually every aspect of the topic, from the very jumpstarting to advanced customization tasks.What really caught my attention the first time I opened it, was the extremely granular structure of the Index. Later I was definitely impressed by the ability to move from one topic to another with caution and an analytical approach.The discussion is divided into 4 main macro Areas, 4 boundary lines the first of which is the starting point, the second one is positioned between chapter third and fourth, the third one between chapter eighth and ninth, and the fourth one between chapter thirteenth and fourteenth.In spite of this subdivision, the chapters are consequential, from the beginning to the End.I find crucial for a reader to take a look at this organization before purchasing or plunging into reading.I try to summarize the Index, leaving out the more specific sections between every chapter.---------------------------STARTING OUT WITH WORDPRESS1. The WordPress Landscape2. Signing Up with WordPress.com3. Installing WordPress on Your Web HostBUILDING A WORDPRESS BLOG4. Creating Posts5. Choosing and Polishing Your WordPress Theme6. Jazzing Up Your Posts7. Adding Pages and Menus8. Comments: Letting Your Readers Talk BackSUPERCHARGING YOUR BLOG9. Getting New Features with Plug-Ins10. Adding Picture Galleries, Video, and Music11. Collaborating with Multiple Authors12. Attracting a CrowdFROM BLOG TO WEBSITE13. Editing Themes: The Key to Customizing Your Site14. Building an Advanced WordPress Site---------------------------Its granularity converts this manual into a handbook to refer to on a daily basis when needed.The book has over 500 pages ... For this reason, I recommend the electronic version :-)Although the author takes nothing for granted and starts from the most basic concepts on which you could feel already prepared, it could be a shame to skip the first few chapters because they contain interesting observations and valuable practical advices.Chapters 11th / 12th are of a more general nature, so are also suitable to be applied in different CMS.Very useful the final section devoted to the collection of recommended sites or of sites mentioned in the book.

A Must-Have for WordPress Bloggers
By Rich
from Taylor, MI
About Me Blogger
I am reviewing the Mobi e-book version for the Kindle.I can't recommend this e-book more highly to anyone with an interest in blogging using WordPress. This book is mainly targeted at users who intend to run the WordPress software on their own web server, but even those (like me!) who use the free WordPress site (http://wordpress.com) can get a lot of useful how-to information out of this e-book.In fact, "WordPress: The Missing Manual" can take you step-by-step from signing up for a free WordPress blog to your own customized and professional WordPress site complete with the plug-ins you'll need to monetize your blog. Appendix A contains the crucial how-to you'll need to migrate your existing blog -- and more importantly, your followers -- from WordPress.com to your new custom site. There is plenty of advice along the way about how to set up your blog's layout and how to run your blog professionally.If you're only planning on using the free WordPress.com site, this book is still well-worth buying. Blog page administration will be fairly consistent no matter which way you're using WordPress, and I wish I'd had this available to me when I was setting up my own blog site.This isn't just the basics, though. Later chapters of the book are directly targeted at the most advanced users and will teach you how to "get under the hood" of how WordPress works and how to make it do what you want it to do.There are a few typos scattered here and there throughout, but nothing that will leave you scratching your head and wondering what the author meant. This e-book is well-formatted and renders very well on the Kindle. There were a few issues here and there, such as Table 1-1 that cuts off the right side in portrait view but is fully visible in landscape view. I didn't notice anything that would make the e-book unusable.Reviewer's Note: I am a member of the O'Reilly Blogger Review program and received a free copy of the "WordPress: The Missing Manual" which was used to write this review.

As an experierenced blogger I thought I knew everything there is to know about Wordpress. Boy was a I wrong. Reading Wordpress: The Missing Manual tought me so many things I had no clue even existed.This book is a reference material for me that I leave on my desk. I have highlighted many tips and tricks that I plan to do in the future. I'm excited to take my blog to the next level thanks to this manual.
Great Way to Get Started!
By Jessica Renee

About Me Maker
I started on Blogger back in 2009. I soon realized that many of my blogger friends were suggesting that I switch to Wordpress. I tried but it was just SO different from any of the HTML/CSS add on widgets and such that I learned for Blogger.I was stuck. I didn't know what to do, which way to go, or how to get started! The wordpress online manual that "suggests" how to get started was just a bunch of mumbo jumbo that didn't help, it was like reading an encyclopedia from beginning to end. I felt more numb and lost AFTER reading it then before I began.The Wordpress: The Missing Manual helps break down all the hard to figure out "add-ons' and "inserts" so that a beginner could understand HOW to work Wordpress properly without having to pull their hair out!This book breaks down how to get started, how to make a post with Wordpress, THEN customizing your add ons and plug ins as well as working with your existing tools.The best part of the book for me was the adding audio/visual elements. It was nice to see it explained in a way that I could see how the big picture from beginning to end works, so I wasn't so in the dark about it.It's so much better than just trying to figure out what's going on just from the online documents that give you. They were more frustrating for me than helpful. It was jibberish, especially to someone used to Blogger where you can tweak/edit your own HTML and change just about anything you want from your HTML/Edit Layout page!The only thing that I can complain about is this book jumps around a bit. I would have rather seen how ONE site was built from the beginning to the end. This shows a number of different websites that have been built.. but for me to FULLY comprehend something I have to see from the very first to the end..This is easily the best way to make the switch without all the hassle and problems of jumping right in without any help! I would definitely recommend this book to someone looking for help!
Like so much, I now have the ebook too.
By Steve
from South Florida USA
I received this from the O'Reilly User Groups program for the Boca Raton Computer Society and as I have started blogs at Wordpress.com and at Wordpress.org, I went through it myself. I learned about a lot of things for both platforms, which I had not previously considered.Prior to reading this, I would explore the great help sections of WordPress itself, for things to enhance my sites. Now I can easily refer back to this missing manual and find things that I have marked to be done later.This is one of the most useful non-fiction works I have ever read.The missing manual series, is great!I recommend this to all WordPress bloggers, who want to have the best blog possible.***I now have the ebook too, so I can readily access when needed away from home.

from Sri Lanka
About Me Designer
This is a complete guide on Wordpress. Maybe you are a writer with very little web development skills who need to begin your own blog. Maybe you are a web developer who need to explore the powerful content management system provided by Wordpress, so you can give a better service to your customers. In both cases, this is the write book to you.The most important feature of this book is its completeness. It includes An introduction about Wordpress, whether to use self hosting or free hosting How to publish posts, customize the themes, menus and etc What to do with plug-ins Using media such as images, videos, audio How many authors can work on a single blog Some advices on attracting and keeping your readers An appendix on migrating from a Wordpress.com site to a self hosted site Many tips and advices which are immensely valuableThe author shares his views and suggestions on what is best for many situations. This is a huge advantage for a reader. For example he advices on most effective and economical buying options for the reader, in situations like upgrading to premium features, using video hosting and etc.The book may appear too fundamental for someone who is a bit experienced. However I strongly encourage them to skip the boring parts and continue reading. You are sure to find many things you didn't know.

A man suspected of abducting a 16-year-old family friend after killing her mother and younger brother died in a shootout with FBI agents exactly 15 years after his father committed suicide, a family spokesman said.
James Lee DiMaggio, 40, appears to have followed in his father's footsteps in a carefully laid plan, said Andrew Spanswick, a friend who runs a behavioural treatment centre in West Hollywood.
"He clearly had a death wish," Mr Spanswick said.
DiMaggio is suspected of killing 44-year-old Christina Anderson and eight-year-old Ethan Anderson and leaving their bodies in his burning home near San Diego on August 4. He triggered a massive search in much of the western United States and parts of Canada and Mexico for Hannah Anderson, who was rescued in Saturday's shootout at central Idaho's Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness.
DiMaggio was extraordinarily close to the family, driving Hannah to gymnastics meets and Ethan to football practice.
US authorities have said DiMaggio may have had an "unusual infatuation" with Hannah, although the father said he never saw any strange behaviour.
Hannah only learnt that DiMaggio is believed to have killed her mother and brother after she was rescued and recovering in the hospital.
San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore said: "Everybody, the FBI, our investigators, everybody are convinced that there is no way she was anything but the worst kind of victim in this,"
James Everet DiMaggio was addicted to methamphetamine and had a troubled life marred by criminal activity, Mr Spanswick said. His cause of death was listed as dehydration, but he consumed a large amount of methamphetamine intravenously and "walked into the desert", he said.
The elder DiMaggio was arrested in 1988 after breaking into the home of his ex-girlfriend, wearing a ski mask and a carrying a sawn-off shotgun and handcuffs, Mr Spanswick said. The former girlfriend wasn't home, but DiMaggio held her 16-year daughter and her boyfriend at gunpoint. The girl escaped after asking to use the bathroom.
The elder DiMaggio later spent time in prison after pleading guilty to assault with a deadly weapon for a 1989 beating of two people with a baseball bat at a motel in El Cajon, east of San Diego.
The Evening Tribune of San Diego described him as a 35-year-old transient, former car salesman and divorced father of two. He died in 1998.
Mr Spanswick said he confirmed details of the elder DiMaggio's criminal history and death with Lora Robinson, James Lee DiMaggio's sister and only surviving family member. Ms Robinson, who did not respond to phone messages, asked Mr Spanswick to serve as a family spokesman.
The victim of the elder DiMaggio's kidnapping attempt — now an adult — told KFMB-TV that her attacker professed his love after breaking up with her mother and announced he was taking her away to "give me a good life". She pleaded with him not to kill her, her boyfriend and her brother.
"Don't worry, it'll be over quick," the woman remembered the elder DiMaggio saying.
The woman, who was not identified by the television station and whose face was blurred on camera, attended El Cajon High School, near San Diego, with James Lee DiMaggio. After the episode, KFMB said, she changed her name and moved.
The younger DiMaggio was like an uncle to the Anderson children and close friends with their parents for many years. Mr Spanswick, who often went hiking with him and his brother-in-law, said neither he nor the Anderson family noticed anything strange about his behaviour.
Mr Spanwick said he alerted authorities on Friday when Ms Robinson told him the date of her father's death.
"There's too much coincidence for this not to be directly associated with that," he said.
Mr Spanswick said the siblings made a pact not to follow in their father's footsteps.
"Her brother broke that trust and he never called her," he said.
Hannah's father Brett Anderson thanked the public and media for their vigilance during the six days she was missing. He also thanked the four horseback riders who spotted Hannah and DiMaggio in the Idaho wilderness, which ultimately became the key tip that helped crack the case.
"Without you, who knows how long this would have gone on," he said.

Daniel Radcliffe has told how a new season of plays and cheaper tickets have brought a younger audience into West End theatres.
The Harry Potter star is in preview in Martin McDonagh's dark comedy The Cripple of Inishmaan, part of Michael Grandage's blockbuster season of plays at the Noel Coward Theatre.
When Radcliffe's role was announced the Twitter-sphere went mad with fans of the boy wizard booking tickets. "The £10 tickets are driving a younger audience to see Martin's play for the first time, and it's a privilege to play to such an enthusiastic and engaged audience," said the 23-year-old Londoner.
Grandage's pioneering plan to change the face of the commercial West End with cheap tickets, training for young directors and a company youth theatre scheme made Radcliffe want to take part.
When the former Donmar Warehouse boss and producer James Bierman announced their plans last summer, Grandage admitted making theatre more accessible was "aspirational" and he was not sure if it could be done. But a quarter of the 140,000 people who saw Simon Russell Beale in Privates on Parade and then Judi Dench and Ben Whishaw in Peter and Alice had booked theatre tickets for the first time, with many £10 seats sold to young people. Radcliffe, in particular, was popular with an audience that grew up with him as Potter — and seats are still available.
Radcliffe has thrown himself into the Michael Grandage Company project, giving a talk to the MGC Futures youth company of 25 young people aged 15 to 25, selected from 600 applicants.
He said: "It can only be a brilliant thing for the future of theatre — developing the actors, directors, technicians and audiences of tomorrow.
"What drew me to be involved with Michael's season of plays was not just the opportunity to work with such an amazing team, but to be a part of an incredible body of work putting access right at the heart of everything they do."
Each of the five shows in the season — Sheridan Smith in A Midsummer Night's Dream and Jude Law as Henry V are still to come — also has a trainee director, designer, lighting designer and sound designer. The seats for £10 idea has since caught on with other West End shows.Reuse content

Persecution Watchdog Urges China to Overturn Ambiguous Death Penalties
Three separate death sentences have been issued to Christian leaders in China, Christian Solidarity Worldwide has reported.
Three separate death sentences have been issued to Christian leaders in China, Christian Solidarity Worldwide has reported. In addition to the death sentences, another prominent house church leader has been given a seven and a half year sentence and two other church leaders have been detained by the authorities in China, in what appears to be a step up in persecution by the Chinese authorities.
|TOP|CSW has been campaigning for the release of Pastor Xu Shuangfu and Pastor Zhang Rongliang since their independent arrests in 2004.
Pastor Xu was one of three pastors sentenced to death by the Intermediate People's Court of Shuangyashan City, Heilongjiang Province. He is the leader of the Three Grades of Servants group which has over half a million members. He first disappeared in April 2004, and has remained in detention since that time, tells CSW.
Xu (also known as Xu Wenku and Xu Shengguang) and sixteen other leaders of the Three Grades of Servants were accused of murder and of defrauding their own congregation of millions of yuan. Evidence revealed in court showed that confessions had been obtained through severe torture.
According to CSW, Xu described how he was hung in the air for five hours and suffered sleep deprivation for five days and nights. In addition, he explained how the interrogators tied his fingers, toes and genitals with wire and then connected the wire to an electrical supply.
|AD|In a separate case, Pastor Zhang Rongliang was sentenced to seven and a half years imprisonment last week. Pastor Zhang is the leader of China for Christ Church, which is estimated by some to have around 10 million members.
According to Compass Direct, Zhang was charged with falsifying a passport, obtaining passports under false pretences and illegal border crossing.
At the hearing, he denied that he had illegally gained passports for three of his co-workers, and defended his own right to a passport as a Chinese citizen. After a two-hour hearing on 6 April 2006, his case was referred to Zhengzhou City Intermediate People's Court to seek legal advice on the grounds of "insufficient evidence and ambiguous facts."
Meanwhile, The Cardinal Kung Foundation reports that Bishop Jia Zhiguo, the unofficial Catholic bishop of Zhengding in Hebei Province, was again arrested despite still recovering from an operation in early June. This is the ninth time the 72-year-old bishop is known to have been arrested since 2004.
In addition, CSW report that a 46 year-old Pastor Wang Shixiu was arrested last week as she was shopping in No. 4 Village, Hongshan Town, Langzhong City, Sichuan Province.
CSW Chief Executive, Mervyn Thomas, said: "We are deeply troubled by the verdicts handed down to the leaders of Three Grades of Servants and Pastor Zhang, particularly when they are based on such dubious evidence. We urge the Chinese judicial system to immediately review these cases."

how and where do i fish this?
Is this a good buy?
Plus, you'll be amazed at how many bites you'll get with the Live Target than with scum frog or snag proof..
I have the green koppers frog and i caught a couple of fish but the frog keeps coming off the hooks i was just woundering how to modifiy it ?
I still lose some(everybody does)
Also, are you sure your hooking them? Bass can move fast enough that they put slack in the line when they grab the frog, so make sure you have slack up before setting the hook, Also make sure you are not trying to set the hook right away, give them a couple of moments to take it in.
I intentionally fish with my rod tip down so by the time i bring slack in and set the hook, its been long enough for them to take the bait.
i make zero alterations to this bait and caught 70% of my bass on this bait last year.
Good luck!
what color works best green yellow brown or light brown?
Most productive color?
light days= light colors
Dark days= Dark colors
murky water= bright colors
Clear water= Neutral colors
So evaluate your conditions, and fish the appropriate bait
what is the hook size and lure length
Hope this helps.
The hooks are 4/0.
Great lure!
This or Spro Bronzeye?
and has better hookup ratio. I feel the smaller profile matches the hatch better. The Spro works well, caught them up tp 8lbs on them, but I just like the detail and smaller size of the Koppers without losing weight.
Good fishing... <*))))><

Big Red No.22 Double Deuce Beard Comb - Options
The New Double Deuce No.22 has undergone a complete redesign starting with the most obvious difference, the size. We have increased the case to accommodate a larger comb. We've also increased the thickness of the comb to add additional strength and rigidity to tackle those larger, gnarly, or curly beards. We've also designed the No.22 to be adaptable. By easily removing the brass rivet the user can swap one comb for the other in a matter of minutes. If your Beard is short, start with the Fine Tooth & then swap for the Wide Tooth Comb insert once it gets longer. The No.22 becomes a comb that grows as your beard does.
- Fine Tooth Comb for Short-Medium Beards
- Wide Tooth Comb for Medium-Long Beards
- Solid wood case in Sapele
- Comb is constructed with a 5 ply laminated material. Walnut outer with a Maple core -creating a Maple 'pinstripe'
- Solid brass rivet
- Closed Dimensions: 4-7/8″(12.5cm) long x 1-1/2″(3.8cm) wide x 3/8″(0.9cm) thick
- Open Dimensions: 8-7/8″(22.5cm) long x 1-1/2″(3.8cm) wide x 3/8″(0.9cm) thick

NEWTOWN SQUARE — Daniel Lanham laughs at the thought he may get some odd looks by the neighbors when he and his brother go at it working on face-offs, two teenagers with their shoulders locked grunting at each other in the backyard practicing together.
But it does pay dividends, like winning the King of X at the 2012 Philly Showcase at Episcopal Academy on Saturday, put on by NXT sports.
Lanham, a Garnet Valley sophomore, was the last one standing among 50 players, outdueling St. Augustine's Will Fox 2-1 in the final.
The King of the X was one event in a day-long affair that featured players from around the country, attracting players from as far as California and Dallas, Texas.
Lanham, whose older brother Michael, a senior at Garnet Valley, is already committed to St. Joseph's University.
"I hate losing faceoffs, and I give a lot of credit to my brother Mike, I suppose we breed faceoff guys," Daniel said, laughing. "Mike and I go at it all of the time. It helps for days like this. I must have taken 100 faceoffs today (winning about 80-percent of the time, by his estimate). I played defense for eight years, until Mike got me into taking faceoffs. I hold my own against him, but he's pretty big. We're the Fogos of the neighborhood."
Lanham held his own against everyone in earning the black King of the X t-shirt.
But Fox gave him a stern test in their best-of-three championship.
"We battled, it was great," said Fox, who like Lanham, has a solid build that gives him great leverage in digging for faceoffs. "It was a lot of fun. We go at it at camps and I really wanted to make faceoffs my niche. Being short helps, because you have to get low and stay low. The extra reps definitely helped today."
The Black All-Stars prevailed 7-5, behind two goals each from Mickey Fitzpatrick (Duxbury), Anthony Wyler (Boys Latin) and Chase Young (St. Augustine Prep), with another goal coming from Greg Grant (Dover Sherborn).
"I think helped myself today," said Young, who's receiving attention from Loyola, Michigan, Lehigh and Navy. "I wanted to come out and showcase my ability in a game like this, you get to know the guys and how they play."
Chris Brady (Conestoga) was named Phillylacrosse.com MVP with a pair of goals for the White team, and Chris Friedman (Episcopal Academy) also added two goals, with Tyler Dunn (Manhasset) accounting for the fifth goal.
"I just wanted to bust my butt and show what I can do," said Brady, who received attention from Delaware and Penn, but likes Denver. "I wanted to play bigger than I am. The largest concern in a game like this is everyone wants to show what they can do, but my big thing was making the right play and not be selfish."
The Black All-Stars received strong goaltending in the second game, with great play by David Meyer (Guilford) and Robert Shaw (Roxbury Latin) making several nice saves.
Still, the White All-Stars won, 7-4, with a pair of goals from William Locke (Portsmith Abbey), Jacob Hager (Kent Island) and Colby Lalicker (Apex High), with one goal from Lehigh commit Greg Farris (Southern Lehigh).
Black's goals came from Parker McKee (Noble and Greenough School), Connor Donahue (Bishop Guertin), Rich Palazzese (Episcopal Academy) and Regan McDuffee (St. Anthony's).
North Carolina was well represented. Meyer was named Phillylacrosse.com MVP after making seven saves.
"This was a lot faster up here, ridiculously faster than anything I see in North Carolina," said Meyer, who said he's receiving tepid college attention, but that should change after this performance. "I think I helped myself and got lot of exposure. I never played in a tournament like this before."

Graeme McDowell says he didn't seduce fellow Irishman and U.S. Open winner Rory McIlroy to switch management teams.

Chandler has wondered who had McIlroy's ear. McDowell, who left ISM a few years ago, says it wasn't him.

"I've heard I'm supposed to have enticed Rory, well I purposely took a back seat in it all," McDowell said. "Rory makes his own decisions and doesn't listen to anybody. I certainly wasn't going to sway him about what to do with his career. Even if I could he'd only resent it if it didn't work out."

My silly scientists had a blast with this hands-on experiment! We used mason jars and plastic water bottles to make our own mini tornadoes. Then they spent the afternoon spinning their bottles and watching their tornadoes twirl! They fascinated everyone from our tiny tots to my big 4th graders!
Gather all materials. The funnel is optional, but it made it much easier for my kids to pour in the water and add the other materials without making a big mess. We made one tornado in a mason jar and then made the others in water bottles so the kids could take them home. I'd also recommend plastic jars/bottles for little ones in case they drop their tornadoes.
Then we added a few squirts of dish soap. It really didn't take much and we took the funnel off for this part so we wouldn't have to wait for it to drip through the funnel.
Then we added two drops of food coloring--partly to make the tornadoes easier to see and partly because everything is more fun in color! Each of the kids picked a different color to help us tell their projects apart.
Next, we put the funnel back on to add in some glitter. This makes the tornado easier to see. We talked about "debris" and how tornadoes have high winds that can break things apart and carry "debris" to other places. I had to laugh later that day when my four-year-old was complaining about the "debris" all over the living room floor!
To make our tornadoes, the kids turned their bottle upside down and held it by the neck. Then they quickly spun the bottle in a circular motion for a few seconds. When they stopped, they were able to see a mini tornado forming in the water. A few of them had to try a few times before they could get the bottle to spin fast enough. We were able to see the tornado best in the mason jar, but it almost looked like the tornadoes started forming in the bottles as soon as they turned them upside down.
Cool. I never thought of that idea. is it meant for 9 year olds?

Jalandhar, Dec 18: Kartarpur(Ravi) Darshan Abhilakhi Sanstha chief Kuldip Singh Wadala has again sought intervention of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to persuad Pakistan to create a 'free corridor' for Sikh pilgrims to holy shrine of Kartarpur on the banks of the Ravi river where Guru Nanak breathed his last.
Talking to reporters here today, Mr Wadala, a former Akali legislator, said that he was trying to seek an audience with the Prime Minister during his visit to Punjab tomorrow.
He said that he had been pressing for this demand and had written to all concerned including the Prime Minister, External Affairs Minister and Punjab Chief Minister.
Mr Wadala said that he had also met Dr Singh during his last Punjab visit in March this year and raised the issue. The Pakistan Government had already expressed its readiness for providing the corridor, he claimed.

Texas Carries Out Landmark Execution
Published June 27th, 2013
Loading Video...
Kimberly McCarthy was put to death Wednesday, marking the 500th execution in Texas since the state reinstated the death penalty.
McCarthy was executed at 7:37 pm Wednesday evening.
The 52-year-old former occupational therapist was convicted in 1997 of murdering her elderly neighbor.
Protestors gathered at the prison holding signs that read "End executions in Texas."
Texas has led the nation in the number of executions since the death penalty was reinstated there in 1976.
