I use comix 4.0.4 on openSUSE 11.2
i have an archive with the following files in it:
this filelist is not correctly handled by comix' "alphanumeric_sort()" [filehandler.py], the result is:
i don't see any sensible way to make alphanumeric sort handle this case correctly, so my suggestion is to introduce a GUI switch to decide whether "alphanumeric" or "lexicographic" sort should be used.
Alan Horkan
If I were using a file manager like Nautilus or Thunar I'd just sort by date instead, it is usually the simplest answer to bad file names messing up sort order.
This choice of file names that will not sort easily seems broken to me. I wonder how you ended up with that naming scheme.
I would unpack, rename, and repack. (Thunar includes a nice bulk rename tool.)

I think this is actually a more important problem than the poster realizes.
I think the most important criteria for the page sort order is consistency with other CBR readers. I've got about 4000 CBRs and almost without exception they were created expecting a lexicographic case-insensitive sort order, such as: page01.jpg, page0203.jpg, page04.jpg. Comix puts the page0203.jpg at the end. I can obviously change the CBR file to correct it, but it's a pain. I'd say about 1 in 20 of my CBRs has this problem.
Furthermore, when I do fix or create a CBR myself, I have to consider that if I want to give a copy to someone using one of those other CBR readers, or if I ever want to change to another CBR reader, I need to make the page order consistent in both sort orders. Not that hard, but again a bit of a pain, and for me undermines any benefit of the alpha numeric sort feature.
Personally I consider the lexicographic case insensitive sorting unavoidably part of the de facto standard for the CBR/CBZ/CBT format. I can imagine that someone who creates their own CBRs and doesn't intend to ever use another CBR reader might view the alpha numeric sort order as a feature. But in my opinion it's a fairly minor one since the point of CBRs isn't to hack around inside the archive anyway. I'm sure a lot of Comix users aren't even aware of the internals of CBR files.
To fix this, I would just change the sort order and not offer a configuration option to change it. Very easy code change too. If I did have a config option I'd suggest a checkbox labeled "Use old page sort order (deprecated)" that would default to unchecked and pop up a warning dialog when checked, explaining some of the issues, instead of radio buttons presenting it as a neutral choice.

charles, comix hasn't been updated since 2009 so changes might not happen.
my comment is to is to suggest to anyone who might want to fix this that there is a potential workaround, and a sort by date option would also be useful to anyone using Comix not just for comics but as a general image viewer.
I tested the original CDisplay and CDisplayEx and they both put page0203.jpg to the end of the reading order. If you know software that does handle badly named files I'd be interested to know, they are in effect breaking the defacto standard.
It might helpful for users to implement a more complicated file sorting algorithm and that is a good thing but I still think inconsistently naming files "page01.jpg, page0203.jpg, page04.jpg" is broken by design and anyone packaging comics should know better and it would be a bad thing to encourage further messing.
Charles M.
I found an ugly but easy way to change to lexicographic page sorting, just comment out or delete lines 554 and 555 of src/filehandler.py in the comix-4.0.4 source code. They look like this:
if s.isdigit():
return int(s)
Could be more efficient and neat, as is, just something to tide over the desperate like me.
I tried out CDisplayEx and as Alan observed it sorted "naturally" as 01, 04, then 0203. However I went back to CDisplay and, for me, it's sorting lexicographically, i.e. 01, 0203, then 04. I also looked at evince 2.30.3 on Ubuntu 10.04 with locale set to en_US.UTF-8, and it's lexicographic too.
For CDisplay, I'm using CDisplay 188.8.131.52 with this exe: CDisplay.exe 1,575,936 bytes, modified April 20, 2004 3:03:44 PM. I'm running it on Windows XP Media Center Edition SP 3, US English version. I suspect Alan may be using a later version of Windows. CDisplay appears to be calling CompareStringA in kernel32.dll which seems to have added a mode to sort naturally in Windows 7. So maybe CDisplay is pulling it's page ordering logic from there or another shared library function that Microsoft has changed since XP.
The only other thing I could think of to reproduce Alan's results with CDisplay was to see if perhaps it used the order the files were added to the archive to provide the sort order, but that seemed not to matter either for zip or rar.
I wrote a script to scan my comic book collection and found that 624 out of 8752 of them have page order differences depending on the sort algorithm used. Of those 10 or so files with ambiguous page ordering that I examined, the lexicograpic ordering produced the appropriate page order. That agrees with my experience over the years with CDisplay.
The lexicographic page ordering that CDisplay is producing on XP is pretty important since over the years a lot of CBR files were put together with that as the reference implementation. Now that that base of files has been widely propagated, it would be a lot of work to correct them.
Since some reader programs are using natural sorting and other are using lexicographic, sadly I don't think we can really say there is a de facto standard any more. Additionally I'd guess at least some of these readers are using localized collation logic, so even the same reader might come up with a different page order in different locales.
Fundamentally using file sorting to determine the page ordering is a bad idea. The implementations of sort algorithms change over time and vary between locales, character sets, libraries, and OSes. Recently, I've looked at the implementation of natural sorting in GLib (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename), in Perl's Sort::Naturally library, and in comix and each one is slightly different and so changing between (hypothetical) CBR readers that used them could produce unexpected changes in page order. Reliance on sorting logic of any kind to generate page order is going to be an ongoing pain for the CBR format, and natural sorting is going to be even worse because each implementation makes slightly different choices, probably due to its greater complexity over lexicographic sorting.
I'd personally rather see a CBR v2 format which would eliminate use of any sort algorithms and instead get the page order from an included manifest file, explicitly listing the image files in the order to display them. It would be more burden on the creator to produce the manifest, though likely that could be automated, but it would really clear up this issue.
In the meantime, I think the least bad choice is to change back to lexicograpic sort order (and tell CDisplayEx that they should too). Primarily I say this because, of the two sort algos in use, lexicograpic has gotten baked into more existing CBRs and it's also the simplest to implement and also the simplest for the many different CBR readers to coalesce on. I don't think allowing users to select between different sort modes is going to really be a solution. It isn't like Nautilus or Thunar, where you can rely on the fact that users know they are looking at files and can see the names and mod times and could thus take a good guess at what might be a useful sort order.
In a CBR reader, the user likely doesn't know that the pages in the CBR files are actually archived files and it's also likely they don't know what ordering scheme the creator of the CBR intended for it to be read in. When they start reading a CBR with the pages ordered incorrectly it can sometimes be difficult to realize what is going on. There're like "is this one of those stories that starts in the middle of the action, or has my CBR reader got the page ordering incorrect again?"
Adding yet another user selectable sort order like mod date order is not a help either. It would generate a correct page order frequently assuming most scanners probably scan pages in order, but when there was a later page edit, again the order will be wrong. Instead of 2 schemes which are right 90% of the time, we'll have 3. Which isn't really better for users who are reading comics, but it is worse for CBR authors.
As it is, anyone creating a CBR file for distribution should try to accomodate for the current set of readers by setting up the page names so they will display correctly in either lexicographic or any of the natural sort order variants. Typically they should stick with 01.jpg, 02.jpg, 03.jpg, etc. They should eliminate as much as they can from the filenames, never vary case and always use sufficient leading zeros, and should try to keep it really simple.
Adding mod date order would just one more sort order they ought to comply with, for those users who have their CBR reader in that mode. If a page in the middle of the CBR needs to be rescanned, the author would have to start playing around with date stamps, which is usually more cumbersome than changing filenames.

Congressional budget proposals slash OSHA funding, push back on silica exposure standard: 'These cuts and these riders are unconscionable'
The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration is no stranger to budget cuts — the agency is already so underfunded that it would take its inspectors nearly a century, on average, to visit every U.S. workplace at least once. In some states, it would take two centuries. Unfortunately, appropriations bills now making their way through Congress don't bode much better for OSHA.
Republican proposal to ban unions at the IRS could mean trouble for other federal employees; ExxonMobil refinery in California cited for violations in February explosion; OSHA fines poultry company for "outrageously dangerous" conditions; and a strip club dancer calls for the same protections and respect afforded to other workers.
One of the big criticisms that opponents of the Affordable Care Act love to trot out is its impact on the economy — one phrase you often hear is "job killer." In fact, in 2011, Republicans in the House actually introduced legislation officially titled "Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act." That bill didn't make it far. However, a new report finds that "job-killing" isn't just hyperbole; it's just plain wrong.
Superstorm Sandy came ashore nearly three years ago, pummeling the New England and Mid-Atlantic coast and becoming one of the deadliest and costliest storms to ever hit the U.S. This week, the Sandy Child and Family Health Study released two new reports finding that the health impacts of Sandy continue to linger, illustrating the deep mental footprint left by catastrophic disasters and the challenges of long-term recovery.
Reporters investigate worker exploitation and abuse in the H-2 visa program; U.S. labor secretary speaks out on the "on-demand" economy; recycling workers face hazardous conditions and unnecessary injury risks; and some businesses say good-bye to the raise.
Technically, the recession is over. So it may come as a surprise to learn that more U.S. children are living in poverty right now than during the Great Recession. To be more specific: About 1.7 million more children live in low-income working families than just a few years ago.

Never underestimate the power of a puppy. A three-year-old girl who had spent 11 days in a Siberian forest has been rescued after her puppy helped lead rescuers to her.
In the remote Sakha Republic, a place that is home to many bears and wolves, Karina Chikitova was discovered huddled in tall grass after wandering from her home on July 29th. The girl and her dog had reportedly followed her father as he left their home in Olom, but she got lost along the way.
Karina seems to have stayed alive on river water and berries with the puppy by her side. With overnight temperatures dipping dangerously low, her family felt that her only chance of survival was that she may be huddled with her dog for warmth. But two days before Karina's rescue, the dog suddenly appeared back home — without the girl.
"That was the moment when our hearts sank, because we thought at least with her dog Karina had chances to survive — nights in Yakutia are cold and some areas have already gone into minus temperatures," said Afanasiy Nikolayev, spokesman for the Sakha Republic Rescue Service. "If she was to hug her puppy, we thought, this would have given her a chance to stay warm during nights and survive. So when her dog came back we thought 'that's it' –even if she was alive — and chances were slim — now she would have definitely lost all hopes. Our hearts truly and deeply sank."
But the puppy turned out to be Karina's only hope at survival, and he helped lead rescuers to her location where she was awake and alert, although very thin. Karina is now recovering from her ordeal in the hospital and doctors will work to help her regain her strength.

Wonderful doggie. I am glad both are safe. HUGS TO ALL FROM TEXAS
Headline's a bit misleading, but the story is a wonderful one. GOOD DOG!
What a truly wonderful hero dog!!! :) :)
I'm so glad the little was found but I would have liked to see her puppy that saved her. The puppy is big part of the story why didn't they show her with her puppy? I love this story because this same thing happened to me when I was 6 years old. Our beagle Cindy led my father, brothers & cousins to me when I was lost in the woods upstate N.Y.
What a heart warming story, I only wish they had shown her with her dog who saved her life.

Information for the Craig Harding Memorial Court Artist Contest can be found here. The registration form will be posted in December. The registration deadline is Friday, Jan. 15.
All registered teams compete at the Regional Competition level. Each team fields two squads: Prosecution/Plaintiff and Defense. The squads compete independently of each other during the first two rounds and never meet each other in competition. Round I matches are randomly drawn (but not allowing both squads from two schools to meet each other; "head to head"). Round II matches are made using the Power Match system based on the results of each squad in round I.
After round II, the scores from both of the team's squads are combined and the top two teams face off in a head-to-head match for the Region Championship.
The 2016 Regional Competitions will take place on the weekend of Saturday, Jan. 30. See the season calendar for a more detailed schedule for specific Regions.
Districts are comprised of two Regions. The top three teams from each Region advance to the District Competition. All matches are head-to-head knockout rounds. Both Region Champions receive a bye for round I at District while the remaining matches pit the 2nd place teams against the 3rd place teams across the Regions. The winners of each match face the Region Champions in round II, where the two winning teams meet for the District Championship.
The 2016 District Competitions will take place Saturday, Feb. 27 (with the exception of District III, comprised of Region 7 (Decatur) and Region 16 (Atlanta) which uses a Thursday evening/Sunday afternoon schedule)
The State Finals Competition will be held at the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center in Lawrenceville on Saturday, March 19, 2016, among the eight District Champion teams. Teams compete in head-to-head matches. After two rounds of competition, an Awards Ceremony will be held recognizing the eight District Champions, the Outstanding Witness and Outstanding Attorney Award recipients for the two preliminary Rounds, the Chief Justice's Commission on Professionalism Award, recognition of the Craig Harding Memorial Court Artist Contest Region and State Champions and the induction of the Student Bar of Georgia (from this season's Law Academy).
After the Awards Ceremony, the top two teams will meet in the Final Round Saturday afternoon/evening to determine the 2015 State Champion.

Big and small decision making takes a page from Tinder
PRO Trend Implications - As Millennials reach adulthood and more important decisions need to be made, the question of how to capture the generation with a notoriously low attention span becomes more pressing. As a result, many organizations are implementing gamified, Tinder and Uber-style systems for purchasing, and for big decision making. This speaks to the Millennial desire to maintain personal brand, and for quick and easy tech transactions. [More]

There's a lot of trashy "clutter breaking" going on across the cable TV "frontier" right now. The Hollywood Reporter asserted the show "marks the latest twist on the dating genre," where VH1 most recently made headlines with "Dating Naked." That show was recently sued by a contestant who was actually shown naked in a pixelating malfunction.
That shtick is becoming its own genre. It follows TLC's "Buying Naked" (watching nudists buy real estate, because that happens all the time). And Discovery Channel's pair, "Naked Castaway" (one nude survivalist struggle) and "Naked and Afraid" (a couple set loose naked in the wild). And "Naked Vegas" on Syfy (people who paint on nude bodies), copied by "Skin Wars" on the Game Show Network, where nude bodypainting becomes a contest.
If copycatting the British TV gutter-dwellers continues, we might next see the American version of "The Naked Office," a show in which businesses attempted to boost employee morale by implementing "Naked Fridays." That takes casual Fridays to a whole new ridiculous level.
This whole trend makes you wonder if Deborah Turness, the British import now running NBC News, has considered the ultimate desperate move toward making public policy interesting. "Naked Meet the Press," anyone?

This is a diverse college with a reputable background. The students leave with a greater understanding. The staff is very knowlegable.
Like many other colleges more priorities need to be focused towards the students. Education needs to be first. Friends and peers, and college lifestyle needs to be second.
The best thing about this school is the resources available to students. There are so much to choose from. For example, majors and elective classes. Organizations are numerous and the diversity...
Scholarships are directed toward financial aid of the university.
The people are very accommodating, which is nice when you're new to an area. Those in the financial aid office really do their best to help you out!
The football team! And the ridiculous cost of tuition.

Brazil's Straw Hat project helps women leave abusive situations
A look at Switzerland's entrenched gun culture
09 Feb 2012 18:15 GMT | Angola, Ghana, Italy, Senegal, Sudan
Zambia, a team currently without a national stadium, have emerged from the shadows at the African Nations Cup to grab an unexpected place in this Sunday's final against the Ivory Coast. "We have been under the radar, away from the pressure and maybe not taken seriously by many," said their 43-year-old coach Herve Renard, who is back at the helm after former Italy international Dario Bonetti was sacked in October. Although Bonetti guided Zambia to top place in their qualifying group, his tactics were seen as negative in a country with a long tradition of quick-paced play and attacking flair. Renard's return has delivered the traditional style, culminating with a surprise 1-0 win over Ghana in Wednesday's semi-final in Bata. "When I go on the internet, I don't see anything about our team," Renard moaned after the weekend's quarter-final win over Sudan in Bata, an efficient 3-0 victory which emphasised Zambia's quality.
"The side have been together for a long time but without any big stars like many of the other teams. The star is the team"
Zambia Coach Herve Renard
"It's because they don't know our team in this tournament. Zambia did not rate in any of the predictions." However, Renard conceded Zambia's anonymity had suited his plans. He had a good counter-attack strategy in place for their opening match against Senegal where Zambia humbled one of the pre-tournament favourites to set the tone for a successful run at a place in the final "We are under-rated because when people look at our squad and see we have only foreign-based players they write us off," Zambia Football Association general secretary George Kasengele said."But we've had the same side for a long time and the players are experienced. Some of them are playing in a fourth Nations Cup, there are very few who are new to the team." Zambia, whose main stadium in Lusaka was condemned for safety reasons and who have been forced to play in rickety venues on the country's copper belt for the past five years, have qualified for 10 of the last 11 Nations Cup finals. "We have picked up a lot of experience along the way. We were unlucky to lose in the quarter-final in 2010," said Renard, who took Zambia to the last eight in 2010 but then left for a more lucrative job in Angola only to be tempted back. "The side have been together for a long time but without any big stars like many of the other teams. The star is the team."

Posted on 10/21/2012 3:33:21 PM PDT by markomalley
Running for office as a devoted wife and mother of two sons besides Sunday school teacher, Amy Bivianos campaign has been rocked by the revelation of her appearance in Playboy.
The dictionary definition of hypocritical is the pretense of having virtues, beliefs, principles, etc. Many politicians are well described by this adjective; but in 2012, none deserves it more than Amy Biviano.
Biviano has worked hard to transform her image from a Yale educated anthropologist and self-avowed feminist into a suburban mom with an adoring husband.
This is how she describes herself on her own website:
I am a long-time Spokane Valley resident, a mother, and small business owner I grew up in a small, close-knit town in Oklahoma, the daughter of a farmer and a public school teacher. I met my husband Andrew in 1993, on our first day of freshman year at Yale University, and we married two months after graduation. We moved to Andrews hometown of Spokane Valley in 2001, deciding that it is the ideal place to raise our family. We have now been married almost 15 years and have two incredible sons: Alex, age 13, and Aidan, age 11 I am an active member of Bethany Presbyterian Church, where I teach Sunday school and serve on the finance committee.
What she doesnt share in her bio is her work as a model for Playboy. She appeared in the October 1995 issue of the Mens soft porno magazine as part of a special spread on The Women of the Ivy League.
Amy Biviano until now has been a darling of the Democratic Party in Washington State. After serving as the Chairman of the Democrats in Spokane County, she is now locked in a race to unseat conservative favorite Representative Matt Shea in the 4th Legislative District which stretches across the Spokane Valley.
Usually a conservative stronghold, this year, liberals on the state redistricting committee have redrawn the 4th district lines to make it competitive for Amy Biviano.
Ironically, a central theme of her campaign has been repeated demands that Representative Shea tell all about his past. She is referring to Sheas divorce from first wife Lisa. This is well-trod turf with Democrats and the local liberal media bringing up his divorce in every one of his earlier campaigns. They claim that the breakdown of his first marriage is fair game because Representative Shea is the Legislatures biggest opponent of gay marriage.
It is appropriate since she is demanding answers from Sheas past that she fully disclose her own. She tells Playboy in the interview that accompanies the photo spread that she is a feminist, saying, I wanted to pose for Playboy to show that were not asexual man-haters. She also told Playboy that her future plans as an Anthropologist included a desire to study sex in other cultures around the globe.
None of her high profile work as a Playboy model is in her currently-posted biography. Her attempts to hide this episode in her life from voters view until now have come to an end
Typical commie lib. She has trouble keeping her clothes on.
I would vote for her to be on ........(fill in the blank)
A gals got to do what a gals got to do, if deomcRat.
I'm guessing this one is off the table after Scott Brown.
LOL democRAT.
If she said that appearing nude in a widely read magazine was something she now regrets that would be one thing, but as with many Dems (and a few Republicans to be fair), standards of personal conduct are plastic and malleable, as often is the truth as well.
As such we can count on her continuing to be an enemy of the unvarnished and unchanging truth while in office. Vote accordingly.
especially since this one is so much nicer to look at in the buff...
Bush's fault.
Not guilty!
just to be fair, prior to making any final decision re this, I need more evidence. Any more pics?
Quasirectangular Areolar Melanoma. Very rare. I pray this poor woman will survive.
What's her position on private drilling?
Looks like her campaign just went t!ts up.
So many responses to this set-up, so little time!
Haven't you seen teleprompter pasties before?
Isn't Spokane the conservative end of Washington state? Shouldn't she be running in Seattle?
Crap! You mean actions really do have consequences!?
Not guilty.
But I still wouldn't vote for her.
No, but I'm sure Mooch has worn them on two occasions so Zero would know what to do.
Hey, she probably does think she is being a good role model, libs have no family values unless its incest or pedo.
Why would be off the table??
Scott Brown is a sick freak RINO too
Wow, Spokane Valley. Who would have ever thunkit?
If only she had gone to Planned Parenthood.
Some other "lies" if told in a respectable family forum would get me banned.
Healthy and clean as Joe would say. But the democrat thing is a wilter. Really, I don't think this is a big deal but since she has made an issue of her opponents divorce the gloves and bras are off!
Stupid hypocrite.
I'd pull the lever for her.
For heavens sake, give the young lady a break, everyone would take their clothes off for a really good cause.. NOT GUILTY! :)
I'm disappointed I haven't been able to find the uncensored version of the pic.
No, those are square nipples. My mom had them too. That's why I'm so screwed up. :)
Sorry, I have no problem with this. Beautiful and intelligent. Doesn't mean I'd vote for her, but that's another issue.
Here's a link top her church:
Hmmmmmm.....a feminist.....getting paid to take her clothes off.....there's a new definition.
She's the first good looking 'Rat politics/pundits woman to come along in quite a while, could she be a stealth conservative? I thought we had the monopoly on the hot ladies... ;-)
A Playboy gal can't be virtuous? Bullshit. Leave her alone, none of your business, irrelevant to politics.
Playboy is more than a dead end job
By Amy Nabors
Picture this...you are applying for a job for which you know that you're perfect. It is unthinkable that your experience, your high grades, and your real interest in the company could be disregarded. Yet, as the decision is made, somehow, you are looked over. Why? The answer has nothing to do with your college education and everything to do with your college behavior - you posed for Playboy, and now your job market will be forever limited.
The above scenario is every Yalie's worst nightmare - being rejected just because of one stupid, rash college prank. You know that you would never make the same mistake twice if you had the chance. Alright, so I did pose for Playboy. Do I feel that one day the above scenario will apply to me? No. You might ask, "Why not?" Do I have career plans that allow for borderline behavior and overlook my indiscretions? Well, originally I did. I had planned to spend my life doing anthropological research on sex; thus, Playboy may have even enhanced my career. But now? Now, among other options, I am considering law, obviously a less-forgiving field.
So why do I still consider posing for Playboy to have been the right move for me? What I have learned this summer in the face of this scandal has taught me more about myself and the others around me than I could ever have learned by sticking to my role as the sweet little girl next door. I spent my summer in the heart of the Bible Belt - southern Oklahoma. Of course every one with whom I worked had either seen the Glamour article (concerning my decision to pose despite the protests at Yale) or knew someone who had. The news was out that the nice girl who went all the way up North, all the way to Yale, had become uninhibited enough to pose in Playboy.
And trust me, every one had an opinion. Of course, the popular responses fell along expected lines. I was reminded of people's disapproval by the averted looks as I stood in line at the grocery store, by the whispers of the young boys who played with my little brother, by my coworkers who avoided talking with me.
However, in addition to the expected criticism, I also received surprisingly widespread support. I was amazed by how many women in my community admired my courage to defy the norm in such a repressive environment. They took me aside to whisper words of encouragement, wishing to also to challenge the establishment and win. I had friends who completely disregarded their own conservative convictions as they recognized how determined I was and chose to support a cause in which I so strongly believed. I saw the stunned approval of the teenage boys who were immediately intimidated by, yet impressed with, a strong Southern woman. I was impressed with the number of students here at Yale who personally supported my courage in pursuing my aspirations, even though they also were leading protest movements against Playboy and pornography in general.
But I have also encountered negatives for which I was unprepared. I never imagined that I would have strange men calling me at all times of the night to tell me that I have nice breasts, or that my friends who live in my old room would receive calls from guys asking for my number. I didn't expect to have Yale alumni members calling to ask me about my reasons for posing. I didn't realize that even though I posed for myself, many other people think that I posed for them and don't seem to mind exerting their rights by calling me for comments or questions.
In this often hostile environment, I was forced to develop a very firm grasp on my emotions and the purpose for my actions. I now believe that the feminist sentiment "my body, my choice" should apply to all women at all times, and not just when there is a movement to support it. I would never exchange the many awkward situations that I experienced because of Playboy for the insight I gained. Through these situations, I have learned so much about the Oklahoma culture in which I spent my early years.
So do I believe that my future might be affected by posing for Playboy? Yes, I believe that it will. But, it has made a positive contribution to my life - I gained a sense of self-reliance which I lacked before the posing scandal. Yes, it was fun to have my five minutes of fame both on the Yale campus and on the national scene. It is a nice little boost to the ego to know that some people consider me to be attractive enough to be in Playboy. But of course I know now, and I knew when I first chose to pose, that these benefits will fade, and they will only be remembered by a few people searching through dusty archives. However, posing for Playboy has permanently changed me by making me think a little bit differently about myself - I'm now more of a risk-taker, fear social approval less, and know a bit more about what I'm capable of. I may never do something this controversial again, but it's nice to know that I could and did.

When she starts dredging Matt Shea's past, her past becomes fair game.
I assume you read her talk about his divorce in the article. There's also this:
From the Spokesman Review
Democrat Amy Bivianos campaign for state representative in Spokane Valley mailed this flier this week. It features a road rage incident involving her opponent, Republican state Rep. Matt Shea. Police reports indicate that although Shea pulled a gun from his glove compartment during the dispute, he did not point the gun at the other motorist, as Biviano strongly suggests in her mailer.
Fake boobs..gawd!
One of the few good lookin' libs I've seen. Not guilty.
".....could she be a stealth conservative?"
I bet she is.....and being naked is actually her "cover". Snicker-snort!
She said "sons." I know what you were thinking.
OK we have your thoughts, any others?
She didn't grow those, some plastic surgeon inserted them.

Bill Bryson was struck one day by the thought that we devote more time to studying the battles and wars of history than to considering what history really consists of: centuries of people quietly going about their daily business. This inspired him to start a journey around his own house, an old rectory in Norfolk, considering how the ordinary things in life came to be.
"More Fact Pact Bryson"
His career as a naturalist and broadcaster has spanned nearly five decades and there are very few places on the globe that he has not visited. In this volume of memoirs David tells stories of the people and animals he has met and the places that he has visited. Over the last 25 years he has established himself as the world's leading Natural History programme maker with several landmark BBC series.
"Unforgettable David"
A Short History of Nearly Everything is Bill Bryson's fascinating and humorous quest to understand everything that has happened from the Big Bang to the rise of civilization. He takes subjects that normally bore the pants off most of us, like geology, chemistry, and particle physics, and aims to render them comprehensible to people who have never thought they could be interested in science. In the company of some extraordinary scientists, Bill Bryson reveals the world in a way most of us have never seen it before.
"A short Review of Nearly Everything"
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a well-tested collection of practical techniques for managing moods and modifying undesirable behaviors through self-awareness, critical analysis, and goal-oriented change. CBT illuminates the links between thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and physical health and uses those connections to develop concrete plans for self-improvement. In 24 engaging half-hour lectures, you'll build a robust and effective self-improvement toolkit with the expert guidance of Professor Satterfield of the University of California, San Francisco.
"A must for anyone wanting to learn CBT"
Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable, audiobook edition of The Rabbit Who Wants to Fall Asleep by Carl-Johan Forssén Ehrlin, read by Rachel Bavidge and Roy McMillian. This groundbreaking number-one best seller is sure to turn nightly bedtime battles into a loving and special end-of-day ritual. This child-tested, parent-approved story uses an innovative technique that brings a calm end to any child's day.
"It worked for us"
The sun is setting on the Western world. Slowly but surely, the direction in which the world spins has reversed: where for the last five centuries the globe turned westward on its axis, it now turns to the east.... For centuries, fame and fortune were to be found in the West - in the New World of the Americas. Today it is the East that calls out to those in search of adventure and riches. The region stretching from Eastern Europe and sweeping right across Central Asia, deep into China and India, is taking center stage.
"Time, the creation of gods, the needs of commerce"
Them began as a book about different kinds of extremists, but after Jon had got to know some of them - Islamic fundamentalists, neo-Nazis, Ku Klux Klansmen - he found that they had one oddly similar belief: that a tiny, shadowy elite rule the world from a secret room. In Them, Jon sets out, with the help of the extremists, to locate that room. The journey is as creepy as it is comic, and along the way Jon is chased by men in dark glasses, unmasked as a Jew in the middle of a Jihad training camp, and more.
The Sunday Times best seller. Earth is 4.5 billion years old. In just a fraction of that time, one species among countless others has conquered it. Us. We are the most advanced and most destructive animals ever to have lived. What makes us brilliant? What makes us deadly? What makes us Sapiens? In this bold and provocative book, Yuval Noah Harari explores who we are, how we got here and where we're going.
Daniel Kahneman, recipient of the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences for his seminal work in psychology challenging the rational model of judgment and decision making, is one of the world's most important thinkers. His ideas have had a profound impact on many fields - including business, medicine, and politics - but until now, he has never brought together his many years of research in one book.
"Fascinating, but be prepared to concentrate"
The Sunday Times number-one best seller. How people succeed and how you can, too. Alastair Campbell knows all about winning. As Tony Blair's chief spokesman and strategist, he helped guide the Labour Party to victory in three successive general elections, and he's fascinated by what it takes to win. How do sports stars excel, entrepreneurs thrive, or individuals achieve their ambitions? Is their ability to win innate? Or is the winning mind-set something we can all develop?
"Great stuff"
Graham Hancock's multimillion best seller Fingerprints of the Gods remains an astonishing, deeply controversial, wide-ranging investigation of the mysteries of our past and the evidence for Earth's lost civilization. Twenty years on, Hancock returns with the sequel to his seminal work filled with completely new scientific and archaeological evidence which has only recently come to light.
"well worth a wallop."
The key to living a happier, healthier life is inside us. Our gut is almost as important to us as our brain or our heart, yet we know very little about how it works. In Gut, Giulia Enders shows that rather than the utilitarian and - let's be honest - somewhat embarrassing body part we imagine it to be, it is one of the most complex, important, and even miraculous parts of our anatomy.
Behind our democracy lurks a powerful but unaccountable network of people who wield massive power and reap huge profits in the process. In exposing this shadowy and complex system that dominates our lives, Owen Jones sets out on a journey into the heart of our Establishment, from the lobbies of Westminster to the newsrooms, boardrooms, and trading rooms of Fleet Street and the City.
"Q. Who really runs Britain? A. It isn't you!"
From the Sunday Times top ten best-selling author of The Psychopath Test, a captivating and brilliant exploration of one of our world's most underappreciated forces: shame. "It's about the terror, isn't it?" "The terror of what?" I said. "The terror of being found out." For the past three years, Jon Ronson has travelled the world, meeting recipients of high-profile public shamings. The shamed are people like us - people who, say, made jokes on social media that came out badly or made mistakes at work.
Why can your foot move halfway to the brake pedal before you're consciously aware of danger? Why do you notice when your name is mentioned in a conversation that you didn't think you were listening to? Why are people whose name begins with J more likely to marry other people whose name begins with J? Why is it so difficult to keep a secret? Renowned neuroscientist David Eagleman navigates the depths of the subconscious brain to illuminate these surprising mysteries.
Widely used in classes, as well as sold to people operating successfully in the business world, the eagerly awaited revision of Influence reminds the listener of the power of persuasion. Cialdini organizes compliance techniques into six categories based on psychological principles that direct human behavior: reciprocation, consistency, social proof, liking, authority, and scarcity.
"A decent listen"
A book like no other - the tale of a gripping quest to discover the identity of history's most notorious murderer and a literary high-wire act from the legendary writer and director of Withnail and I. For over a hundred years, the mystery of Jack the Ripper has been a source of unparalleled fascination and horror, spawning an army of obsessive theorists and endless volumes purporting finally to reveal the identity of the brutal murderer who terrorised Victorian England.
Internationally acclaimed neurosurgeon Dr Eben Alexander always considered himself a man of science. His unwavering belief in evidence-based medicine fuelled a career in the top medical institutions of the world. But all this was set to change. One morning in 2008 he fell into a coma after suffering a rare form of bacterial meningitis. Scans of his brain revealed massive damage. Death was deemed the most likely outcome.
"Was really looking forward to this book - but, no."
Almost a third of your whole life is spent asleep. Night School uncovers the scientific truth about the sleeping brain - and gives powerful tips on how those hours of apparently 'dead' time in the dark can transform your waking life.
"Informative with a quirky sense of humour"
Humanity now, perhaps more than in any previous time, has an opportunity to create a new, saner, more loving world. This will involve a radical inner leap from the current egoic consciousness to an entirely new one. In illuminating the nature of this shift in consciousness, Tolle describes in detail how our current ego-based state of consciousness operates. Then gently, and in very practical terms, he leads us into this new consciousness. We will come to experience who we truly are and learn to live and breathe freely.
"Even better as a talking book"
An astonishing new scientific discovery called neuroplasticity is overthrowing the centuries-old notion that the adult human brain is fixed and unchanging. It is, instead, able to change its own structure and function, even into old age. In this revolutionary look at the brain, psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Norman Doidge, M.D., provides an introduction to both the brilliant scientists championing neuroplasticity and the people whose lives they've transformed.
"A must listen"
In Social, renowned psychologist Matthew Lieberman explores groundbreaking research in social neuroscience, revealing that our need to connect with other people is even more fundamental, more basic, than our need for food or shelter. Because of this, our brain uses its spare time to learn about the social world-other people and our relation to them.
"Now I understand why we suffer!"
Renowned neurologist David Perlmutter, MD, blows the lid off a topic that's been buried in medical literature for far too long: carbs are destroying your brain. And not just unhealthy carbs, but even healthy ones like whole grains can cause dementia, ADHD, anxiety, chronic headaches, depression, and much more.
"Gently illuminating, but somewhat waffly at points"
In Brain Rules for Baby, Dr. John Medina shares what the latest science says about how to raise smart and happy children from zero to five. This book is destined to revolutionize parenting. Just one of the surprises: The best way to get your children into the college of their choice? Teach them impulse control. Brain Rules for Baby bridges the gap between what scientists know and what parents practice.
"very interesting book"
The structure of your brain changes constantly, in a dynamic, unfolding process that you yourself can direct to create the life you want. This is the exciting premise of Meditations to Change Your Brain, a breakthrough program from psychologist Rick Hanso, Ph.D. and neurologist Rick Mendius, M.D.
"Highly recommended"
What gives the human brain the creative ability that defines us all as individuals? Although the silicon version is hard on its heels, the brain remains the most remarkable computer in existence. Leading us through cognitive theory, neuroscience and Darwinian evolution with his trademark wit and wisdom, Michael Corballis explains what we know - and don't know - about our minds. How do we know if we're really the top dogs in brain power?
Intuition is not some magical property that arises unbidden from the depths of our mind. It is a product of long hours and intelligent design, of meaningful work environments, and particular rules and principles. This audiobook shows us how we can hone our instinctive ability to know in an instant, helping us to bring out the best in our thinking and become better decision-makers in our homes, offices, and in everyday life.
"Enjoyable, but goes in an unexpected direction"
Leading consultant psychiatrist Steve Peters knows more than anyone how impulsive behaviour or nagging self-doubt can impact negatively on our professional and personal lives. In this, his first book, Steve shares his phenomenally successful mind-management programme that has been used to help elite athletes and senior managers alike to conquer their fears and operate with greater control, focus and confidence.
"Life changing- a must for stress heads"
In The Power of Habit, award-winning New York Times business reporter Charles Duhigg takes us to the thrilling edge of scientific discoveries that explain why habits exist and how they can be changed. With penetrating intelligence and an ability to distil vast amounts of information into engrossing narratives, Duhigg brings to life a whole new understanding of human nature and its potential for transformation.
"Good book but not a useful one"
Interweaving her vast knowledge of neurology, sociology, psychology, and philosophy with fascinating down-to-earth examples and lively personal anecdotes, developmental psychologist, neuroscientist, and dyslexia expert Wolf probes the question, "How do we learn to read and write?" This ambitious and provocative new book offers an impassioned look at reading, its effect on our lives, and explains why it matters so greatly in a digital era.
"Inspiring Science!"
In this stunning new book, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of "outliers"--the best and the brightest, the most famous and the most successful. He asks the question: what makes high-achievers different? His answer is that we pay too much attention to what successful people are like, and too little attention to where they are from: that is, their culture, their family, their generation, and the idiosyncratic experiences of their upbringing.
"Riveting - enjoyed it much more than the paperback"
Genovese, Gambino, Bonnano, Colombo, and Lucchese. For decades these Five Families ruled New York and built the American Mafia (or Cosa Nostra) into an underworld empire. Today, the Mafia is an endangered species, battered and beleaguered by aggressive investigators, incompetent leadership, betrayals, and generational changes that produced violent, unreliable leaders and recruits.
As the world becomes ever more dominated by technology, John Brockman's latest addition to the acclaimed and best-selling Edge Question Series asks more than 175 leading scientists, philosophers, and artists: What do you think about machines that think?
Renowned media scholar Sherry Turkle investigates how a flight from conversation undermines our relationships, creativity, and productivity - and why reclaiming face-to-face conversation can help us regain lost ground.
In 2010,Clive James was diagnosed with terminal leukemia. Deciding that "if you don't know the exact moment when the lights will go out, you might as well read until they do," James moved his library to his house in Cambridge, where he would "live, read, and perhaps even write". James is the award-winning author of dozens of works of literary criticism, poetry, and history, and this volume contains his reflections on what may well be his last reading list.
Today we live in a culture that says, "My life should be easy and work well for me". This attitude, called entitlement, influences our most important institutions: family, business, church, and government. Its effects are devastating, contributing to relational problems, work ethic issues, and emotional struggles.
When does enlightenment come? At the end of the spiritual journey? Or the beginning? In After the Ecstasy, the Laundry, Jack Kornfield brings into focus the truth about satori, the awakened state of consciousness, and enlightenment practices today. The result is this extraordinary look at the hard work we all must do - the laundry - no matter how often we experience ecstatic states of consciousness through meditation and other disciplines.
On his deathbed Plato was asked to summarize his life's work. He replied, "Practice dying." In the 2,000 years since Plato offered this wise admonition, we have developed many practices associated with living. But what of the practices associated with dying? Being with Dying is a response to this question: an approach to death that is kind, open, and dignified and that allows us to explore the meaning of death in the experience of our own lives and through the lives of others.
Bill Littlefield (NPR's Only a Game) presents the second installment in the Library of America series devoted to classic American sportswriters, a definitive collector's edition of the pathbreaking writer who invented the long-form sports story.
You're about to discover the crazy details about Bigfoot/Sasquatch. With the easy access of the Internet, people all over the world have been interested in knowing whether or not Bigfoot exists. While I don't claim to know the answer to that, this book serves as an informative guide that provides confirmed information and is unbiased. There are so many random stories on the Internet with no basis and they serve to misguide the masses.
"Boehner Sets Oct. 29 Floor Speaker Vote, Delays Other Leadership Elections" is from the October 06, 2015 Politics and Power section of The Washington Post. It was written by Mike DeBonis and narrated by Sam Scholl.
"Congress Is a Dysfunctional Mess. Here's Why You Should Want to Work Here Anyway." is from the October 06, 2015 Ideas and Controversy section of The Washington Post. It was written by Justin Talbot-Zorn and narrated by Sam Scholl.
The "power of positive thinking" is a well-known adage, yet few of us take it seriously as a method for medical treatment. The groundbreaking work of psychologist Dr. Jeanne Achterberg might change that once and for all. During the last 30 years, Dr. Achterberg has pioneered a bold new path of scientific research showing how positive intent is not only a medically sound course of treatment but also a necessary part of every healing process.
Looking back at WFB's 1965 mayoral campaign.
New Saucerian presents one of the rarest of all Gray Barker titles, Selected for Abduction. Here Barker covers the best UFO sightings from 1981, including gripping "abductions" and "MIB attacks". In traversing this artifact, one senses Barker was perhaps the first serious UFO publisher to give credence to "alien abduction". Following his death soon after the publication of this book, several high-profile abductees and hypnosis-based researchers filled the vacuum.
In Intimate Enemies, Khaled Diab explores the human lives at stake in the conflict. From Palestinians evading checkpoints to attend parties to the different approaches Israelis take in defining personal Jewish identities to the experiences of women from across the region, Intimate Enemies looks at what makes people tick. It also becomes clear in this closer understanding of the people how misleading a simple notion of two opposing sides really is.
There is a village that sits at the edge of lush rainforest, its stilted huts face the ocean, its children plunge below the water's surface with spears to learn the ways of their elders. This is the Surin Islands, on Thailand's Andaman coast, and home to the Moken, the world's last sea nomads. For centuries, the Moken roamed Burma's Mergui archipelago, diving for shellfish to trade for rice, taking shelter on land only during the monsoon season.
"All prayers are heard and answered," says Caroline Myss. Can that be true? As you come to understand the original role of prayer in personal transformation, you begin to realize that it could be no other way. In The Power of Prayer, Caroline Myss invites you to experience prayer at its deepest and most profound level - as a direct channel into union with God.
This guide will provide you with everything a beginner needs to know about tarot, including the most popular card meanings to get you started.

"A Gun-Free Society" is from the October 06, 2015 Ideas and Controversy section of The Washington Post. It was written by Fred Hiatt and narrated by Sam Scholl.
Full of incredible characters, amazing athletic achievements, cutting-edge science, and, most of all, pure inspiration, Born to Run is an epic adventure that began with one simple question: Why does my foot hurt? In search of an answer, Christopher McDougall sets off to find a tribe of the world's greatest distance runners and learn their secrets - and in the process shows us that everything we thought we knew about running is wrong.
"Born to Run"
Philosophy begins with questions about the nature of reality and how we should live. These were the concerns of Socrates, who spent his days in the ancient Athenian marketplace asking awkward questions, disconcerting the people he met by showing them how little they genuinely understood. This engaging book introduces the great thinkers in Western philosophy and explores their most compelling ideas about the world and how best to live in it.
"Easy and enjoyable"
"A wonderful book, wonderfully narrated"
Agatha Christie's detailed plotting is what makes her books so compelling. Christie used poison to kill her characters more often than any other murder method, with the poison itself being a central part of the novel, and her choice of deadly substances was far from random; the chemical and physiological characteristics of each poison provide vital clues to discovery of the murderer. With gunshots or stabbings the cause of death is obvious, but not so with poisons.
"Thoroughly enlightening"
Everyone would benefit from seeing further into the future, whether buying stocks, crafting policy, launching a new product, or simply planning the week's meals. Unfortunately, people tend to be terrible forecasters. As Wharton professor Philip Tetlock showed in a landmark 2005 study, even experts' predictions are only slightly better than chance. However, an important and underreported conclusion of that study was that some experts do have real foresight.
Oliver Sacks' The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat tells the stories of individuals afflicted with fantastic perceptual and intellectual aberrations: patients who have lost their memories and with them the greater part of their pasts; who are no longer able to recognize people and common objects; who are stricken with violent tics and grimaces or who shout involuntary obscenities; whose limbs have become alien; who have been dismissed as retarded yet are gifted with uncanny artistic or mathematical talents.
"Neurology can be fun!"
Why do we breathe? What is money? How does the brain work? Why did life invent sex? Does time really exist? How does capitalism work - or not, as the case may be? Where do mountains come from? How do computers work? How did humans get to dominate the Earth? Why is there something rather than nothing? In What a Wonderful World, Marcus Chown, best-selling author of Quantum Theory Cannot Hurt You and the Solar System app, uses his vast scientific knowledge and deep understanding of extremely complex processes to answer simple questions.
"So well explained. Very impressive"
In the tradition of The Power of Habit and Thinking, Fast and Slow comes a practical, playful, and endlessly fascinating guide to what we really know about learning and memory today - and how we can apply it to our own lives. From an early age, it is drilled into our heads: Restlessness, distraction, and ignorance are the enemies of success.
"It really delivered on the title"
Jon Ronson is fascinated by madness, extraordinary behaviour and the human mind. He has spent his life investigating crazy events, following fascinating people and unearthing unusual stories. Collected here from various sources (including the Guardian and GQ America) are the best of his adventures.
"Absolutely Brilliant !"
David and Goliath is the dazzling and provocative new book from Malcolm Gladwell, best-selling author of The Tipping Point, Blink, Outliers and What the Dog Saw. Why do underdogs succeed so much more than we expect? How do the weak outsmart the strong? In David and Goliath Malcolm Gladwell takes us on a scintillating and surprising journey through the hidden dynamics that shape the balance of power between the small and the mighty.
"Swing and a miss"
Based on seven years of ground-breaking research and hundreds of interviews, I Thought It Was Just Me shines a long-overdue light on an important truth: Our imperfections are what connect us to each other and to our humanity. Our vulnerabilities are not weaknesses; they are powerful reminders to keep our hearts and minds open to the reality that we're all in this together.
"life changing buy this book"
Over the last decade, we have sent thousands of people to fight on our behalf. But what happens when these soldiers come back home having lost their friends and killed their enemies, having seen and done things that have no place in civilian life? In Aftershock, Matthew Green tells the story of our veterans' journey from the frontline of combat to the reality of return.
We've been tantalised by the idea of eternal youth since time immemorial. We're always asking how we can live longer and better. Or, to put it another way, why can't we all be like Madame Calment, who cycled till she was 100, smoked till she was 117 and died at the wonderfully old age of 122? Join veteran reporter Bill Gifford for a rip-roaring ride along the trail to the fountain of youth.
Tom Cruise and John Travolta say the Church of Scientology is a force for good. Others disagree. Award-winning journalist John Sweeney investigated the Church for more than half a decade. During that time he was intimidated, spied on, and followed, and the results were spectacular: Sweeney lost his temper with the Church's spokesman on camera, and his infamous 'exploding tomato' clip was seen by millions around the world.
Governments today in both Europe and the United States have succeeded in casting government spending as reckless wastefulness that has made the economy worse. In contrast, they have advanced a policy of draconian budget cuts - austerity - to solve the financial crisis. We are told that we have all lived beyond our means and now need to tighten our belts. This view conveniently forgets where all that debt came from. Not from an orgy of government spending, but as the direct result of bailing out, recapitalizing, and adding liquidity to the broken banking system.

Mt Gox Creditors Win Prelimnary OK on Revival Plan
May 8 (Bloomberg) -- Mt. Gox Co. creditors won a U.S. judge's preliminary approval of a plan to settle with two of the bankrupt bitcoin exchange's executives.
The creditors propose to partner with outside investors to revive the exchange and compensate depositors. That deal also must be approved by a Japanese bankruptcy court.
The Tokyo-based exchange filed for bankruptcy in February, when it said it couldn't account for more than 850,000 bitcoins, which were then worth about $500 million. It later said 200,000 had been located.

So what's your question?
I'm not sure what to tell you about her lower back burning. Perhaps it's a kidney infection or perhaps it's shingles acting up. Or maybe it's muscle pain due to a statin. Or simple muscle injury. Or vertebral compression fracture. The possibilities aren't endless but they're quite varied. Her family physician will need more information.
As for her heart rate of 40, that seems pretty slow, regardless of whether she's taking blood pressure medicine or not. Is she light headed, weak, woozy, or faint? I suspect that she's taking a beta blocker. I'd recommend re-evaluation by her family physician and switching to another medicine or at least lower the dose of the beta blocker so that her heart can beat just wee bit faster, say at least 60bpm.
The swelling in her right ankle might be due to a blood pressure medication, an injury or a clot in her leg known as a DVT, short for deep vein thrombosis. Best to have her evaluated by her family physician to address her conditions and your concerns.
Good luck!
