Man studies region's ospreys for four decades
As an adult osprey circled overhead, Wayne Melquist perched an extension ladder against a piling in Cougar Bay and scrambled up to the nest.
"There's two here – one big enough to band," he called down to others in the pontoon boat. As Melquist attached an aluminum band to a wriggling young osprey's leg, boat operator Ross Walkinshaw worked to keep the craft from rocking in the wind that swept across Lake Coeur d'Alene.
For more than 40 years, Melquist has been making precarious ascents to band juvenile ospreys.
The long-running research project offers valuable insight into the lives of the majestic birds, which raise their young on the region's lakes and rivers but winter in Mexico and Central America. Melquist's work has shed light on nesting patterns, migration routes, population densities and interchange with other osprey populations.
"Long-term data sets like that are pretty nice to have, but pretty rare," said Chip Corsi, regional supervisor for the Idaho Department of Fish and Game in Coeur d'Alene.
While short-term studies offer a snapshot look at wildlife populations, it often takes decades of data for trends to emerge, he said. Each band is marked with an identification code and a phone number for people to call when they find a dead bird. The data goes into a national registry for research.
Melquist has banded about 2,500 osprey nestlings since 1972, when his graduate adviser at the University of Idaho got him involved in the project. Melquist, 65, continued the banding during a long career at Idaho Fish and Game. Since his retirement, he's continued the work as a consultant.
As the pontoon boat approached another piling in the bay, an adult female left the nest with a keening cry.
"She knows him. They all do," quipped Walkinshaw, who frequently provides boat transportation for Melquist's banding excursions.
"Sometimes, you almost think they do," Melquist said.
He's had adult ospreys fly out toward him when he was still 300 yards from the nest. "They make a beeline out to greet you," Melquist said, "almost like they knew what was happening."
But that might be anthropomorphic thinking, he cautioned. "I can't prove it."
Ospreys fascinate Melquist. Often called fish hawks, ospreys are a distinct species among birds of prey. They have a flexible talon, which allows them to grasp fish with two talons forward and two back. Rough, wart-like nodules on their feet help them hold on to thrashing fish.
Their dramatic, feet-first dives to pluck fish out of shallow waters are crowd-pleasers. Melquist often finds himself wondering about the keenness of eyesight that allows ospreys to dive so accurately.
More than 200 pairs nest in the Idaho Panhandle, which has one of the largest populations in the Western United States. Melquist credits the region's abundant waterways, good fishing and the birds' adaptability. With fewer cottonwood snags available for nesting sites, ospreys are nesting on pilings, utility poles, bridges and even cellphone towers.
Between 2004 and 2010, more than 100 young ospreys from North Idaho were relocated to South Dakota to re-establish populations along the Missouri River.
The juveniles Melquist is banding aren't flying or fishing yet. Each futile flap of their wings releases a small spray of downy feathers similar to dandelion fluff.
The youngsters are molting. Eventually, they'll lose the creamy-tipped feathers that help camouflage them in the nest and sport dark brown adult feathers instead. Their reddish eyes will turn gold.
When Melquist started banding in the early 1970s, ospreys and other raptor populations were threatened by the pesticide DDT, which caused their eggshells to break. A ban on DDT use in the United States has led to a rebound in numbers, though ospreys are probably still exposed to some level of the pesticide in their wintering grounds, Melquist said. DDT continues to be used in other countries because of its effectiveness in controlling malaria-transmitting mosquitoes.
Most of the current threats to North Idaho's ospreys are human-caused, Melquist said. He plucks wads of string and fishing line out of nests and frees young birds that get tangled up in the line. He's also shooed oblivious fishermen away from nesting sites.
When people encroach on nesting sites, they keep adult birds from returning to the nest to incubate eggs or feed young.
Even after four decades of study, plenty remains unknown about the region's ospreys, Melquist said. The birds begin heading south in late August and September, with the juveniles departing after the adults. Melquist wonders how the young birds know where to go.
"They're on their own to find a travel route," he said.

Can't seem to make this work.
Got a 30 second .flv video clip on track 1. Overlay a 5 second black color clip on track 2 and apply Luma transition. Works OK, but then when I try to add another short .flv clip on track 2 and apply a Luma transition from track 1, the second transition does not work.
I'm on Obuntu 9.0.4 and Kdenlive 0.7.3.
Also when I install that library for the additional effects, I can't render anything. That's not too big a deal since I really don't need those, just thought I would mention it.

It works, but on the upper transition, you need to change the track with which it transitions from "Auto" to, for example, "Track 2." See this video tutorial:

Skip to comments.Monday Bombshell: Evidence So Damning It Will Determine the Fate of Our Nation (Glenn Beck)
Posted on 04/20/2013 8:50:21 PM PDT by blam
click here to read article
do you know how many people that I work with didn't know about the massacre in Russia by the Chechnya muslims...how many don't know about the killing of LIVE babies by a supposed abortion dr?...
I mean, unless we have a free press, willing to expose things, there will be no story, no pressure, and a complete coverup....
Bengazi....Fast and Furious...its the same old story...
Seriously, I have no idea why people make posts like yours. You truly believe that there is nothing that can stop Obama and we should all just stop caring?
Did you miss that we held back the gun grabbing legislation for a little while longer? Some things are worth yelling about... even if the deck is clearly stacked against us.
Don't get me wrong, I understand your frustration. But moaning, It doesn't matter. They'll just blame the Tea Party and keep going on with business as usual. Yawn. I'm so bored. weakens us! And it's most likely not even what you really mean.
If you are anything like me, what you really mean is- Dammit I am so fed up with this lying piece of dog crap getting away with ruining our country for so long, while the communist media covers for him... if this Glenn Beck thing is just more worthless noise I swear I am going to key the word "retard" in the next ten cars I see with an Obama bumper sticker... I wonder if my 3 months of emergency food and water is going to be enough, when Obama and Bernake collapse the economy this summer... I may just let that shrill liberal crackpot next door starve.
But maybe, that's just me. :p
I do not have any opinion on GW giving Saudis special permission to leave the country, but I do know Snopes is not reliable on political matters.
Snopes is owned by a southern California couple. They have been asked about their political views a few times and they have always claimed to be non political. One of the couple is actually from Canada and does not vote. However, Snopes will consistently lean hard left on any issue pertaining to Obama.
The most glaring example of this is on the topic of Obamacare, but there are plenty of other cases of Snopes reading more like talking points and less like fact finding reports.
"And be sure to tune to my show Monday morning for all the details! Oh, and 'gay marriage' is alright with me!"
Time for TEA!
Are Glenn Beck and Jerome Corsi the same guy? Never have seen them in the same room, y'know...
Feed him bacon, lots and lots of bacon.
Supported and directed by our very own????? Behghazi who? Just another epic event fingers pointed in the right direction to be told nothing here keep moving.......and we listen
Please tell me how our situation is improved by letting the Kenyan spin this on Monday vs. Beck telling us all he knows now. Marketing and showmanship.
"Vanity theory:
What if the FBI knew this Saudi was a terrorist wannabe and were conducting one of their sting operations where they supplied him and his crew with fake ordinances to blow up the Boston marathon? This plot being totally unrelated to Chechan brother terrorists. "
The Tsarnaev brothers were double agents who decoyed US into terror trap
"Vanity theory:
What if the FBI knew this Saudi was a terrorist wannabe and were conducting one of their sting operations where they supplied him and his crew with fake ordinances to blow up the Boston marathon? This plot being totally unrelated to Chechan brother terrorists"
I could go along with that
Why wait till Monday?
His producers need time to put together the show detailing the AlHarbi info and "dumbing it down" so folks can absorb it.
Also this is classic Breitbart. Announce u have blockbuster info and tweak the commies on live TV to come clean.
They either come clean, or say nothing, or tell another (partial or doubled down) lie.
Then, u drop the full enchilada and voila they've lied to public TWICE and covered it up in 1 week.
ACORN style.
"Oh, yeah, The Five I watched it once. What a waste"
Oh please, seeing 4 semi conservatives, a couple of which shom are smoking hot, ripping Bob Beckel a new A-hole on a daily basis does have some redeeming value.
shom > whom
Then what would be so shocking in revealing a sting operation gone bad? No, I heard beck Friday morning, and it sounded to me that whatever he had would implicate top people in explicit wrongdoing. A mistake in judgment is not what he was talking about. His message centered in who the man is. Maybe Shoebat's info relevant here?
Beck also seemed to be saying he knew that nothing might be done about it, but that very fact would represent a tipping point to him, a transition to operating as a new country lacking the old framework, impliedly the Constitution. He even hinted it would be justification for starting a new story. That's code for revolution. Drama queen or not, that was his message. If he doesn't come up with something better than Capone's empty vault, he will be finished. I'm betting he's got something pretty good. I am hearing from the blaze there is talk of holding up the deportation.
Basically you're right...although I do like Gutfeld. I did like Beck's show on FOX, but the constant "fate of the world" announcements by Beck with trembling voice sort of put me off.
He's hawked gold, his shows and documentaries from Israel, 'damning information'or revelation, et al.....If he actually has something, then he should put it out right away, not give the government more time to cover it up or prepare a defense. This is just self-aggrandizing promotion.
Beck, either tell us now or STFU
Im just surmising here, but I'm willing to bet there has always been an information divide, with relatively few actually following closely and caring about the big news of the day. What's different now is that so many people who are uninformed are being drawn into the electoral process. This works in the dems' favor, because they are so much better at subrational propaganda than conservatives. We are old school. We quote the founders, use logic, reason, facts. They just lie. That's all they have to do.
I talk to these low info voters. They are really on a different information gathering circuit. They are decent people, but they are always shocked to hear things that any of us have known about for months. They quote michael moore propaganda back to me like nobody ever questioned it in their isolated "news universe." And probably nobody has. That used to be the role of the free press, to provide a public forum for arguing all sides of a question. But they stopped that a long time ago. This is the reason, at least in part, our electoral process is producing irrational results.
If they could pin something like that on Bush don't you think they would? But they can't because it is absolutely false and those rumors are nothing more than an attempt to smear Bush.
Lets see what Glenn has—you can't make statements like this and hope to be believed, if you got no facts. I think Glenn Beck has done some good things in the past—support for Tea Parties, forming The Blaze, etc... BUT he has also been a huckster worse that Huckabee. So you better blow off what you have—and it better be good—this Monday! I expect it to be at least 50% as shattering as your hype. Failure to provide facts means you may have cried wolf one too many times. If he suffers some accident—that will be seen as confirmation of something. It better be Good—and something that will knock Obama out of the White House—or at least pull down some of his minions.
Obama could ship a cargo container of code-word secret papers to the Chicoms, steal 10 billion dollars, have sex with every Congressional page of either gender in the Lincoln Memorial, and the most Congress would do would be to form a committee to study whether or not to form another committee to determine whether another committee is needed to consider an investigation, while the media would do nothing at all, except for Fox News which would briefly mention it at 4AM EST. In other words, even if Beck had something, there are too many people covering for Obama.
I am a woman, so seeing "smoking hot" women in action does nothing for me. Kimberly Guilfoyle — she of the gigantic mouth — strikes me as someone who was always a very unattractive child. But, then, puberty happened, and she suddenly felt greatly empowered by a well-endowed figure that she just can't seem to keep covered. It's as if she is always saying, "Hey! Look what I've got!"
He already jumped the shark with his FEMA camp expo-nonexpose-last minute chickenshttry. Glenn is well into Joanie Loves Chachi "Christmas Show" swoon at this point.
That was tremendously heart warming.
Canada Remembers 9/11 Attacks, Gander, Newfoundland Praised For Taking In Stranded Travellers
"Gander was one of several Canadian communities that sheltered thousands of people on about 200 international flights that were diverted when the U.S. closed its airspace after the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon."
"The people were so kind to us. There was nothing that we had to do for ourselves. Everybody kept asking us: 'What can we do for you?'"
Lately Beckel has been coughing . You can either hear him in the background or yesterday, they accidentally zoomed in on him as he was doing a slow gagging reflex reminiscent of his shrimp choking fiasco.
An unhealthy blob of liberalism beamed straight onto nursing home residents dinner trays

You nailed it, Bigg Red!
I lost some respect for Beck when we tried to hire him to be a keynote at a conservative conference and he said, "sure, but I'll need 75k and a private jet to get me there and back".
Memo to Glenn: You are not that important!
LOL GenX...
There are several posts here that set the record straight . That did not happen
He could be trying to bluff the Admin into releasing something that he DOESN'T have. So if they call his bluff it would come out that he never had any real info.
It would also help him get ratings in the meantime. Hell, WE'RE talking about him.
Win-win for Beck.
I dont think hes bluffing
Rut roh....when was the last time Dick Morris got it right? I like his tenacity to go after libs and I've read a couple of Dick's books...but I wouldn't bet the ranch on anything he *promises*.
Would love for Morris to be right on this one.
That is so off topic and non-sequitur it's clear you're way more than half a bubble off of plumb. Have a nice life.
Chechens are Sunni, so are Saudis....hmmmmm
Commiserations on the anticipation and then the inflation (pricewise). I'm done with him in any form. By the time I finally pulled the plug on him, it was as if he and his cohost buddies were smoking the big bambu on-air and giggling, making jokes, and not making much sense. They seemed really, really pleased with themselves and I could never figure out why...
Depends on which Saudis we're talking about. Shoebat claims the Saudi 9/11 exodus included at least one prince who was allegedly involved in financing 9/11. The argument is not a truther argument, but a failure of duty argument. If true, the release of a culpable party, whether out of negligence or perceived political expediency, is a failure of the system to serve it's prime directive, to ensure the well being of the American people.
So let's play with your analogy a bit. Shoebat suggests that significant numbers of Saudi royalty are up to their eyeballs in Wahhabism, the Islamic fundamentalist ideology that drove the 9/11 attackers. So lets it's NY, during WWII, and Uncle Woofie is not just a German, but a known Nazi symathizer. While many Germans are fine people, we know that Nazism is bad. So Uncle Woofie blows up NY. Do we rush his relatives back to Germany? Even the professing Nazis? With like a two minute interview at the airport, as Shoebat alleges? Wouldn't that be criminally negligent at best?
The reason this stuff slides so easily into Truther territory is that you have a lot of rumors, half truths and half stories ....innuendo etc.
I doubt we know what really happened and I can think of a lot of legal reasons for a lot to happen Innuendo from the left is the Saudis were his friends...(more BS)
Bush showed more determination in stopping terrorists, disrupting their networks and carrying out a policy intended to eradicate them It is a substantial record that is good or better record than anyone I can think of...
It lasted 7 years.
The left castigated him because he waited 8 minutes or something like that when he was in a Florida class room and received the news on 9 11. This is supposed evidence to them that he wasn't serious.This BS about the Saudis is in the same vein ...
We heard Bush let it happen and also Bush tortured people.
He was too weak He was a war monger.
I think he got it about right and he surrounded himself with very good people ...If you buy into the lefts anti Bush BS you are lost as far as I am concerned
One only need to read the list of sources at the bottom of anything they post. They get their info by searching Google and cherry picking the sources that best fit their viewpoints. They are trustworthy when determining if a chain letter will really bring you a gazillion dollars from that King in Africa, but I would not trust them for very much else.
This business from Shoebat is not from the left, at all. The only perfect person who ever lived never ran for elected office. So everybody else, you, me, Bush, and Obama, are all on probation. I don't care who screws up, as long as we can be honest about it when it happens. Using the argument that its a slippery slope to trutherism, or that questioning Bush on his treatment of the Saudis in that specific instance somehow negates all the good things he did, are not rational arguments. They are ways to shut down direct evaluation of the immediate question presented, which in this case is simply whether Bush did the right thing in rushing to airlift Wahhabists out of the country without thoroughly examining them for evidence and possibly culpability. If I can't ask those questions, how, pray, do I defend my country from all enemies, foreign and domestic, in keeping with my oath?
Exactly! You are wise like Yoda.
So has anyone asked Bush or Cheney and out this episode and if so what did they say...If not why hasnt it been asked ?
This covers it and has more reality than the crap floating around
The three stooges: Glenn, Stu and Pat....Do they know how annoying they are and how much we don't want to have to listen to their incessant laughing over inside jokes that noone else can follow?
Partisan goggles, fingers in the ears, la la la la la
Okay skippy. Stay inside your nerf world.
Actually, better to go directly to what seems to be the purported source of the website you give, and that is Snopes:
The final reports simply find "no evidence" of earlier flights, and only say that many Bin Laden family members were in some way screened by the FBI or local authorities, such family members reported having no recent contact with Bin Laden, etc., and many other passengers weren't screened. Clearly the path for these Saudis was paved for them to fly out as soon as the earliest flight restrictions were lifted, if not sooner.

"Art is when you hear a knocking from your soul and you answer." Star Richés
Art means different things to different people, but the dictionary defines the word as the quality, production, expression, or realm, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance. Something in us humans hungers for art, for something beyond the ordinary. We may find it in a child's drawing, in the strains of a Mozart sonata, or in a grandiose production in New York. If we stumble upon it, we're lucky; most times we have to look, even search for it. I and many of you found beautiful art in the Christmas Concert held in Baxley at the Old City Gym back in December 2013. People from several counties, including Jeff Davis and Bacon joined Appling County voices to perform this magnificent program. I'm still reeling from the experience.
In addition to enjoying the arts ourselves, most of us try to instill in our children the love for art. We want for them the things that we love, but our location and the unavailability of appropriate programs hinder our efforts. All too often we fret over our deficiencies, feeling helpless to do much about them. Take heart. I have good news.
The Arts Council of Appling County sponsored that Christmas concert and has another opportunity coming on February 25, 2014, which we are really excited about. The Gothard Sisters are coming to the fine arts auditorium at the high school in Baxley. They are a dynamic all-female Irish music and dance group. Hailing from the Pacific Northwest, they perform traditional Irish songs and tunes, as well as their own original compositions. Fans range in age from the very young to the very old. People who've seen them tell me that their live show is joyful and exuberant, full of surprises, and refreshing and inspiring to audiences. The performance includes fiddle tunes written by the sisters, sibling harmony, and Irish step dancing. The young ladies have not only folk roots but also the nerve to take risks with style.
The group, truly made up of three sisters, was recently named the Best New Irish Artists in the 6th annual Irish Music Awards. Keith Doherty, of the Jacksonville Celtic Festival in Jacksonville, FL, says of them: "The Gothard Sisters bring a new dynamic to the Celtic circuit. Their onstage charisma, energy, enthusiasm and extraordinary talent are second to none… these artists will no doubt take the world by storm."
While the sisters are in Baxley, they will do a workshop with our choral students from both the high school and middle school. The students are looking forward to the freshness and the novelty of the program.
I like the idea of something different. How often do we get a chance in South Georgia to see and hear such a performance? We are culturally deprived in our little corner of the world, even though it's a great place to live and I don't plan to move any time soon. Usually when our hunger for art grows really strong, we head for Atlanta and the Foxx Theater or down to Savannah or Jacksonville. Well, don't miss this opportunity to drive the short distance to Baxley. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
I can hardly wait. Mark your calendars, too. The program will be at 7:30 on Tuesday, February 25 at the high school auditorium in Baxley. The cost is $15 for adults and $10 for students, but children 10 and under are admitted free with paid adult admissions. Y'all come.

CEO of PayPal Dan Schulman on earnings and their partnership with Visa. » Read More
Stock index futures pointed to a higher open on Friday after steep losses on Thursday, with all eyes on April nonfarm payrolls which is expected to show a slowdown in job creation.
What follows is a roundup of corporate earnings reports for Thursday, May 5.
Stocks tumbled in the final hour of trading to close lower as investors took profits ahead of a key government jobs report on Friday, and as energy shares extended losses after crude oil plunged below $100.
The credit-card provider posted earnings and revenue that edged above analyst estimates Thursday, but shares slipped in extended trading.
At first blush, investors may not think eBay would warrant any weakness on proposed financial reforms. If anything, the online retailer would seem to benefit from a reduction in credit card processing fees charged to sellers on its namesake auction site. But, eBay is not just auctions.
Stocks tumbled in the final hour of trading as investors took profits ahead of a government jobs report on Friday, and as energy shares extended losses after crude oil plunged below $100.
Startup Square just secured a major advantage competitive mobile payments space — a strategic investment from Visa, which will put one of its executives on the company's board.
Here's our Fast Money Final Trade. Our gang gives you tomorrow's best trades, right now!
As credit losses continue to decline, shares of credit card providers will continue to climb this year, said Bruce Harting, managing director of Barclays Capital. Harting was named the top consumer finance analyst by Institutional Investors' 2010 All-America Research Team survey last October.
On Wednesday the Fast Money traders took a long hard look at bank stocks after JPMorgan rattled investors with some unexpected results.
Are Goldman's bearish oil outlook and Alcoa's revenue miss early signs that the commodities bull is tired?
Tech investors scrambled to place their next bets after Texas Instruments surprised the Street with its acquisition of rival National Semiconductor for $6.5 billion or $25/share.
A group of conservative and libertarian groups have sent Congress a letter urging lawmakers to delay the implementation of the Durbin Amendment, a provision which would cap so-called "interchange" fees financial companies can charge on debit card transactions.
Stocks got closer to their highs of the year as the broad market turned positive for the month and was on track to post the best quarter of the year, although volumes remained thin amid geopolitical uncertainty. AT&T and Merck led Dow components higher, while Cisco slipped.
Stocks put in another strong showing on Wednesday as investors seemed to put aside concerns over geopolitical fears to send stocks higher, although volumes remain thin. AT&T and Exxon led the Dow higher.
If you're bearish and betting on significant downside, strategic investor Dennis Gartman would like a word.
The cellphone has been more than a cellphone for years, but soon it could take on an entirely new role — standing in for all of the credit and debit cards crammed into wallets. Instead of swiping a plastic card at the checkout counter, consumers would merely wave their phones, the New York Times reports.
There's a battle brewing in Washington that could impact the way you spend your money. I'm talking about how you use your debit card.
Cell phones are usually used to communicate with people far away. This year, they'll get the ability to do the opposite: communicate with things that are close enough to touch.
"Swipe" fees imposed by the Senate's Durbin Amendment will pose a "double whammy" to small banks and consumers, ultimately hurting the US economy, Adam Frisch, Morgan Stanley Equity Research, told CNBC on Wednesday.

For centuries, mystical creatures of all description were gathered to a hidden refuge called Fablehaven to prevent their extinction. The sanctuary survives today as one of the last strongholds of true magic in a cynical world. Enchanting? Absolutely. Exciting? You bet. Safe? Well, actually, quite the opposite...
Kendra and her brother Seth have no idea their grandfather is the current caretaker of Fablehaven. Inside the gated woods, ancient laws give relative order among greedy trolls, mischievous satyrs, plotting witches, spiteful imps, and jealous fairies. However, when the rules get broken, an arcane evil is unleashed, forcing Kendra and Seth to face the greatest challenge of their lives. To save her family, Fablehaven, and perhaps the world, Kendra must find the courage to do what she fears most.
©2006 Brandon Mull (P)2006 Shadow Mountain
"The dialogue snaps and sizzles... Like Harry Potter, Fablehaven can be read aloud in a family with as much pleasure for grownups as for children... Do yourself a favor, and don't miss the first novel by a writer who is clearly going to be a major figure in popular fantasy." (Orson Scott Card, New York Times Bestselling Author)
"Imagination runs wild in Fablehaven. It is a lucky book that can hold this kind of story." (Obert Skye, Author of Leven Thumps and the Gateway to Foo)
"Fablehaven deserves a better narrator!"
I love Brandon Mull. His books are great for kids and adults. I was thrilled when the Fablehaven series was added to audible. My consumption of books is primarily through audiobooks these days. Only my love of this series got me through the terrible narration. Not every book can be narrated by Jim Dale, but this series deserves better!
I like the juxtaposition of drama and comedy. Seth and the satyrs are my favorites!
Barely. I am so glad that I was not introduced to this series via this audio recording!
"Narration is AWFUL!!!!"
If everything is (vocally) in italics, bold, caps, and underlined, nothing will stand out. Every sentence is uttered with breathless surprise and awe by this reader, and it's excrutiating to listen to. I abandoned the audio book in chapter 3 and just read the book. So horribly bad.
Absolutely not. I will be checking every audio book I buy in the future to ensure it's NOT E. B. Stevens.
The story, yes.
"Interesting story but worst narration."
Quite liked the story but couldnt get past chapter 7 as the narrator made the story grindingly boring and tedious
As said above I think this would be a great series except for the narration. It was so bad that I have returned the book to Audible.
"Love the book - hate the narration"
I love Brandon Mull's books. They are wonderful. But the narration is difficult to make it through. It's like he's reading to a 5 year old. The narration honestly took away from the magic of the book. But I liked the book enough I suffered through the narration.
"Good story line - narrated for 5 year olds"
I love "good for grown-ups too" kids fantasy. This could have been one of them except for the narration. It's very rare for me not to finish a book, however, after four attempts to get comfortable with the juvenile cadence and voice inflections, I threw in the towel at chapter 4. Too bad. The premise is interesting.
"The worst performance I've ever heard"
It's so incredibly patronising. The story is okay but the narration is essentially baby talk.
Nothing too bad. The narration doesn't give you a chance to get into it.
Hell no!
The mother.
"I am so excited this has FINALLY come to Audible."
I have never written a review before - I am that excited about this series. I have read these books several times and am beyond delighted I can now listen to them.
Maybe similar to a Harry Potter, Septimus Heap, or Charlie Bone series. Good for young readers and adults. Stories full of imagination, magic and a little bit of danger.
The narrator is no Jim Dale or Simon Jones but he does do a very nice job. His male and female characters are both well acted. To me the sign of a bad narrator is when the cannot do both sexes voices well.
I wouldn't want to give anything away. The entire series is a delight for adults and children.
Get the entire series - you will not be disappointed.
"Awful narration"
This story might be good, but it's hard to tell because of the horrendous narration. I'm going to try reading the second book rather than listening to it.
"Great story! Mediocre juvenile performance."
Great Magical story.
It was performed like he was reading to kindergardeners. Over dramatic and too high pitched at times. I also did not like the music in the background when the reading started of a new chapter. Sometimes the music did not even fit the title of the chapter or the situation at hand.
"Wonderful book, horrible audio book"
I downloaded the audio book because my kids and I loved the book, but the narrator is horrible. He sounds like he's trying to read to a preschool class. Not enjoyable to listen to at all.

Los Angeles - United States captain Fred Couples ended speculation over whether Tiger Woods might be selected for the Presidents Cup in November by saying on Thursday the former world number one would be a wildcard pick.
Woods had been eager to take part in the Ryder Cup-style competition against the Internationals in Australia but had no chance of gaining automatic selection after struggling for form and fitness this season.
The leading 10 players in the US Presidents Cup standings after the September 1518 BMW Championship qualify for the 12-man team, with Couples adding two captain's picks on September 26. Woods lies 28th in the standings.-
"I've told him he's going to be on the team," Couples said during a news conference while preparing for Friday's opening round of the Champions Tour's Boeing Classic at the TPC Snoqualmie Ridge in Snoqualmie, Washington.
"There is no reason for me to wait till September 26 to pick Tiger. He's the best player in the world forever."
Woods has played on every US Presidents Cup team since 1998 but he has been a shadow of his former dominant self since the end of 2009 while trying to rebuild his golf swing and private life following the breakup of his marriage.
His world ranking has slipped to 36th and he failed to qualify for the PGA Tour's elite FedExCup playoffs after missing the cut at this month's PGA Championship. His next scheduled event is the November 10-13 Australian Open.
Before last week's Senior Players Championship, Couples made his own intentions clear as to what he expected from the rusty Woods.
"He can't just show up the week before in Australia," Couples said. "I have made it clear that whoever I picked will be playing the Australian tournament the week before. But I need him to play more than just there."
Asked on Thursday about the extra event he had urged Woods to play, Couples replied: "He has responded to that. I'm pretty sure you'll see him one more time. That's enough for me.
"The last thing he wants to do is embarrass himself. I think he'll be ready to play. Does that mean he's going to go out and win every point? No, I don't expect that. But I expect him to be sharp and ready to play. I'd be shocked if he's not."
Woods's biggest problems this year have been injury and lack of practice. He was sidelined for three months while recovering from the left knee ligaments and Achilles tendon he hurt during the Masters in April, when he tied for fourth.
"Is he playing well right now? No," said Couples. "(But) he almost won (the Masters) four months ago and you don't do that by playing poor golf.
"When you're the best player in the world for 12 straight years and you're not on a team, there's something wrong."

Anna Baran knows: The teenage years are rough enough. Now imagine throwing a good dose of cultural displacement into the mix and giving the whole thing a whirl. It's enough to make any sane girl become unmoored. Circumstances might have taken Anna away from her beloved Polska, but nothing can keep her from visiting her homeland every summer. And it is here in Poland, specifically in the city of Kielce where her family is from, that Anna forms two lasting friendships, with Justyna Strawicz and Kamila Marchewski-Ludek, that take her through much of her teenage and young adult years.
Anna's father once had ties to Poland's Solidarity movement so fear of retribution from the communist government keeps both him and Anna's mom from traveling to their native country, and they seek asylum in the United States. This is where Anna is raised, but after an initial visit to Poland, on the cusp of ...

Identification of sleep problems in children is important because a growing body of evidence suggests that sleep disorders may interfere with physical, cognitive, emotional, and social development. Conversely, children with neurodevelopmental problems, learning differences, or behavior problems may be at heightened risk for sleep problems compared with the general pediatric population [1-4].
Pediatricians, pediatric subspecialists, and other healthcare practitioners are in an ideal position to identify sleep problems and disorders in children. Clinicians should incorporate questions about sleep into routine health assessment for children of all ages because parents may not volunteer information about their child's sleep, or may not appreciate the potential relationship between sleep problems and daytime behavior. Sleep and sleep disorders in children are strongly influenced by cultural factors, parental expectations, and parental responses. Sleep problems present most commonly in the outpatient setting, but the hospitalized child may develop sleep problems during an acute illness, or chronic sleep disorders may come to medical attention during hospitalization.
Although sleep disorders may be phenomenologically similar between adults and children, important differences exist in presentation, natural history, and response to treatment [5]. As an example, in contrast with adults, most children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are not obese, and many children present with daytime attentional or behavioral problems rather than overt sleepiness [4,6]. Even within the pediatric age group, the clinical manifestations of sleep problems may vary by age and developmental level. For example, a school-aged child with excessive sleepiness may exhibit motor overactivity, inattentiveness, irritability, or oppositional behavior rather than overt sleepiness [7,8]. Sleep problems such as difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep (insomnia) may coexist with anxiety or depression in the adolescent, and may worsen certain medical or psychiatric problems.
This topic review will discuss the approach to taking a structured sleep history, provide an overview of specific sleep problems that may present during childhood, and explain indications for further diagnostic testing. Specific sleep disorders are discussed in more detail in other topic reviews:

Product Description
"I pray that [this book] becomes a kind of Holy Writ for notation in this coming century. Certainly nobody could have done it better, and it will be a reference for musicians for decades to come." Not my words, but those of Simon Rattle (one of only two conductors to escape censure from Peter Maxwell Davies earlier this week; only Rattle and Pierre Boulez emerged unscathed as "masters of their art" in his recent pop at the profession) on Elaine Gould's new book, Behind Bars: The Definitive Guide to Music Notation. This "wonderful monster volume" - Rattle again - is indeed more than the sum of its parts. Gould's book is the result of decades of experience as senior new music editor at Faber Music, where she has worked closely with composers like Jonathan Harvey, Oliver Knussen, Colin Matthews, and Thomas Ades, and what she has to say in Behind Bars transcends the book's first appearance as a manual of notational best practice. Under the surface of its guide to producing the best and clearest scores - the arcana of making sure you're not asking your harpist for too many pedal changes, that you change clefs in the right place in your orchestral parts, and how best to indicate the plethora of extended instrumental techniques in so much contemporary music - this book expounds an alchemical formula for musical communication. Gould's book shows composers how to ensure that the magical transfer of musical ideas from their imaginations to their scores, from their performers to their audiences, is as seamless as possible. Behind Bars is a practical revelation of the poetics of musical communication. It's especially necessary in the early 21st century. You might think that after centuries of evermore sophisticated copying, printing, and digitising of music notation that all the problems had been solved. Not a bit of it. The rash of computer scores produced with programmes like Sibelius in the last couple of decades are a mixed blessing. Software like Sibelius allows composers to create full scores and individual parts for the musicians at the click of a button, yet it's too easy to overlook the kind of problems that Gould talks about - where a badly placed page-turn in your string parts can mean the difference between a good performance and a catastrophic one. Gould quotes Mahler's frustration with the copyist who mauled the material of his Eighth Symphony before its first performance in Munich in 1910; looking at his exemplary manuscript of the Fifth Symphony that the Morgan Library has just made available for free online, you can see that Mahler abided by Gould's principles of clarity and consistency. But I wonder what Gould would say to Beethoven, if she were faced with pages like this, from the manuscript of the Ninth Symphony, whose facsimile was recently published by Barenreiter? It's not just a contemporary phenomenon: composers have always pushed at the limits of musical and notational comprehensibility. The Guardian (Tom Service), 12 January 2011 'Say "musical composition" and you identify a process: but "a musical composition" is very much a product, a commodity: and never more so than when it takes the form of materials from which performers sing or play, and academics build their theories about music history and aesthetics. Philosophers might continue to agonise about the extent to which a printed score represents the composition. Performers are much more likely to agonise about whether the materials put before them make sense and, if you ask professional musicians where they would like to see composers whose materials create tough challenges for them, "behind bars" would be one of the politer suggestions forthcoming. Composers best able to avoid the lash of performers' hostility are those lucky enough to work with a well-established publishing operation, and that means an editor like Faber Music's Elaine Gould. After more than 20 years in the business, Gould has seen (and heard) it all and Behind Bars is an encyclopedic distillation of practical professional wisdom, fully justifying its bold subtitle, "The Definitive Guide to Music Notation". Not even Gould can teach you how to compose a good work, of course: but her book is a matchless source of practical advice, all geared to the wryly understated observation that "players will tend to be well disposed towards a work whose instrumental parts are carefully prepared". The book has three main parts: "General Conventions" discusses the notational basics of pitch and rhythm, "Idiomatic Notation" has a section for each of the instrumental families, with harp and classical guitar treated separately, and one for voices: finally "Layout and Presentation" deals not only with the creation of a conventional score, but with issues in electro-acoustic and computer music that bring the story bang up to date. The copious illustration in music type (Richard Emsley was the indefatigable typesetter) show how not to do things as well as how best to do them, and although Gould makes occasional use of extracts from such composers as Elliott Cater and Jonathan Harvey, the bulk of the illustrations - which it has to be said, vary considerably in their relation to "real" music - are (presumably) of her own "composition", with help from those members of the Faber Music family mentioned in her Acknowledgements. Gould's text inevitably reflects the piecemeal manner in which music notation has evolved, with its (for outsiders) crazy mixture of instruction in French, Italian, and other languages, but offering a salutary demonstration of cultural pluralism in action, and all in the service of what is still sometimes hailed as the "universal language" of music. Perhaps that should be Western music, since other music's seem not to need guides such as this. Notation can never be so rigidly "definitive" that it leaves absolutely nothing to the imagination of interpreters: but Gould's guide is as good a source as you can get for how to ensure that your score and parts are approached in a positive spirit by those contracted to realize them as living sound.' Gramophone Magazine (Arnold Whittall), February 2011"
About the Author
Elaine Gould has been Senior New Music Editor at Faber Music since 1987, in which capacity she has edited the complex and varied scores of such composers as Oliver Knussen, Jonathan Harvey, George Benjamin, Colin Matthews and Thomas Ades.

If you are not a music professional, do NOT spend 100 dollars on this book. There are plenty of simple volumes that will give you the basics of notation for most purposes. But as an editor for a music publisher, I consider it well worth the money and will keep it close to my desk along with my dictionary and orchestration manuals!
As one reviewer wrote do not spend the money if you do not write orchestral or large band music. If your medium of composition is piano, chamber works, writing lead sheets, or straightforward choral works, Sibelius notation software offers INDIRECTLY through its instruction manual good thorough basics on notation. If you want a direct manual Dover has issued a Norton Guide to notation.
But if you are a composer who write or intends to write for large forces or works with a great deal of chromaticism, meter changes, use of more complex rhythms, and some extended techniques, PLEASE get this book. A tidy, well-laid out score will significantly increase your chances performers will review your arrangements and/or compositions. I guarantee that they will play it better than if you present a carelessly prepared score.
Thank you!
A major update of Kurt Stone's "Music Notation in the Twentieth Century" would be preferred to Gould's overly paginated tome.
But, all in all it is useful and informative as is.

The Falcons were hoping for more explosive plays out of the WRs in 2011, but it hasn't happened yet. Roddy White is leading the way out of this bunch with 39 grabs for 425 yards (10.9 avg) with 3 TD grabs. He is still an excellent possession receiver, but he doesn't get down the field a whole lot. Rookie Julio Jones was supposed to be the deep threat of the Falcons. He has caught 25 passes for 358 yards (14.3 avg) so far this year and he has yet to catch at TD pass. Harry Douglas has caught 17 passes for 199 yards (11.7 avg) this year as the Falcons continue to wait for him to step up. Eric Weems has been so busy on special teams that the Falcons aren't using him on offense as the has only caught 1 pass for 4 yards. If the Falcons want to get back to the playoffs in 2011, these guys need to step up.
