What do arms accomplish?

To The Editor: Am I the only person who is having a problem with the new traffic signals in downtown Hendersonville? With all due respect, cant the traffic engineering department of the city do anything without some boneheaded result?
These new decorative poles extend so far into the intersection that one has to stop some two or three car lengths back from the intersection stop-line in order to see the signal without peeking up from inside the car or opening my sun roof.
I assume they extend at a 45-degree angle over the intersection to enable the use of one pole per intersection rather than the intended use one for each direction of traffic the way its done everywhere else. This is one instance where it would be better to forgo the improvement until the city can afford to do it correctly.
Perhaps if we werent in the 147th iteration of the crosswalk affair on Main Street, the cash would have been available to do it correctly.

More than 200 people participated in Saturday's 23rd annual Lakeshore Cleanup event on the banks of Green River Lake.
Despite threatening rain, organizers said, this year's cleanup was a success and could be described as a day of work, fun and education. Larry Lemmon, park ranger for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, said there were 234 volunteers consisting of school groups, college clubs, girl scouts, boy scouts, boat owners and community members.
A Campbellsville woman is dead and another injured after being struck by a pickup truck as the two were walking along U.S. 68 in Marion County.
According to a Kentucky State Police press release, LaDonna J. Sallee, 36, and Trena R. Summers, 32, of Campbellsville were walking at 8:39 p.m. last Friday, about four miles west of Lebanon.
Police said the two women were struck by a 2006 Ford pickup being operated by David A. Grimes, 51, of Mt. Washington. Both women were crossing U.S. 68 at the time of the collision.
A Campbellsville woman was injured in a one-car crash Friday afternoon a mile south of Raywick in Marion County.
According to a news release from the Kentucky State Police, Jorretta Jones, 59, was traveling north on KY 527 in a 2006 Dodge at 2:43 p.m. when her vehicle dropped off the right side of the road and struck an embankment.
Jones was treated and released at Spring View Hospital in Lebanon. She was wearing a seat belt.
Trooper Fred Cornett investigated.
"My patient has coded in the aircraft," the man said over the speaker.
On the way to the James Graham Brown Cancer Center for treatment, the patient, who was being flown by airplane, became ill during the flight.
An emergency call went out from the plane's radio, asking that the person on the other end of the transmission call 911 and ask for emergency personnel to be at the Taylor County Airport as soon as possible.
Just a few minutes later, Campbellsville/Taylor County Rescue personnel arrive at the airport, just before the plane lands.
A Springfield teenager who was charged after a one-vehicle crash left his passenger dead has pleaded guilty to reckless homicide but won't spend any time in jail.
Michael A. Barnett, 20, of 111 Mayes Ave. in Springfield appeared before Taylor Circuit Court Senior Status Judge Doughlas M. George on Tuesday, Aug. 18. Records from Barnett's appearance were only recently made available at the Taylor County Courthouse.
Barnett was indicted by a Taylor County grand jury twice on different charges, each stemming from the crash.
Campbellsville is about to get a little more green.
As part of the Meader Street sidewalk project currently underway, a portion of the sidewalk will be constructed with pervious concrete.
Pervious concrete is a porous type of pavement, meaning water runs through the surface, reducing runoff and pollution.
In a presentation to City workers on Wednesday, Greg Smith of the Kentucky Concrete Pavement Association, said pervious concrete is becoming the application of choice for parking lots, sidewalks, park trails and residential streets.
A former inmate at the Taylor County Detention Center is suing four jail employees, accusing them of losing his family photos.
Steven Carmicle filed suit against Taylor County Jailer Rick Benningfield, Captain Kevin Wilson, Sgt. Jon Hawkins and Class D Coordinator Mary Cox in Taylor Circuit Court on Thursday, Sept. 3.
In his handwritten complaint, Carmicle alleges that Hawkins placed him in solitary confinement. While in confinement, Carmicle states, Hawkins allegedly took his personal property to a jail property room.
Without March of Dimes' research, Anne Gibbs says her twin baby girls - who were born 16 weeks early on Feb. 22 - would not have survived.
And now, Gibbs and her husband, Chris, are doing their part to give back to the organization, which strives to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality through research, community services, education and advocacy.
The Gibbs babies, Julie and Maddie, have been named the ambassador babies for this year's local March of Dimes' March for Babies event.
The Taylor County Detention Center will receive federal dollars to buy security cameras.
The jail will receive a $6,898 Justice Assistance Grant award, according to the Justice and Public Safety Cabinet.
The grant is part of nearly $5 million in federal and state funds awarded to police departments, sheriff's departments and other criminal justice agencies across the commonwealth last week
Though the money was initially earmarked for extra beds, Taylor County Jailer Rick Benningfield said, the money will now be used to purchase 11 security cameras.
The Kentucky Court of Justice posted a notice recently that the judge's seat currently filled by Senior Status Judge Doughlas M. George in the 11th Judicial Circuit, Division One, is now vacant.
George officially resigned his seat Jan. 31 when he entered the Senior Status program. He has been appointed a special judge each month since and will continue to serve the 11th Judicial Circuit, which includes Taylor, Green, Marion and Washington counties, until a replacement is named.

Confirmed: Geoff Johns Is the New President of DC Entertainment
Comic Books, Film, TV
As we noted a week ago, Sam Humphries and Steven Sanders self-published a science fiction comic called Our Love Is Real, which subsequently sold out in print in nine hours. A second print is on the way (that's the cover you see to the right) and it's still available digitally through their website or comiXology.
Humphries, a former Robot 6 guest contributor and my fellow panel member in San Diego next week, agreed to share a list of what he considers to be some of the great science fiction comics. Note that he chose not to use the words "best" or "favorite" to describe the list. "'Favorite' or 'best' implies more commitment than I'm ready to give," he said.
So without further ado …
Six great science fiction comics, by Sam Humphries
1. AKIRA by Katsuhiro Otomo
A giant of science fiction, often imitated, never surpassed. At its heart is a tale of a bromance gone wrong, two best friends who carve their years of brotherhood and resentment across Tokyo, Japan, and the Moon. The anime adaptation is superlative, but the manga, sprawled across six thick volumes of meticulously drawn, hi-octane pages, is a true monumental achievement. I'll be gunning for this No. 1 spot 'til I die. G.O.A.T.
In recent years, we've seen a boatload of comic books and graphic novels make their way to the silver screen, from Big Two stalwarts like Spider-Man and Batman to independent titles like Scott Pilgrim and 30 Days Of Night. Amongst the various adaptations, though, some creators have emerged as magnets for Hollywood types — and one of those is Frank Miller.
You could see glimpses of Frank Miller on the screen going as far back as Tim Burton's Batman and even in the more recent Daredevil, but he didn't become a name to movie-going audiences until the smash hits 300 and Sin City, both based on his original work. But there's more to Miller's oeuvre than just those two seminal works, so we thought we'd point out some overlooked items in his catalog and posit what a film adaptation would look like.
Give Me Liberty – "From the creator of 300 & Sin City and the co-creator of Watchmen." That's how any promotion for this would start out, and the movie itself would show a burnt-out husk of a world with humanity pulling itself out from the wreckage. Fronted by the a freedom fighter named Martha Washington, it would cover her humble beginnings to her time in the second Civil War to her death as glimpsed in the recent coda story Miller & artist Dave Gibbons released. I'd love to see Children of Men's Alfonso Cuaron on this, and this could be a starring vehicle for Rosario Dawson.

Johan Botha (born 2 May 1982) is a South African cricketer. He is a right-arm off spin bowler and a right-handed lower-order batsman.
Botha has played five Test matches, 78 One Day Internationals and 40 Twenty20 Internationals for South Africa since 2005. He plays for the Warriors in South African domestic cricket, the Sydney Sixers in the Australian Big Bash League, and the South Australian Redbacks in the Ryobi One Day Cup and Sheffield Shield.
Early career[edit]
Botha began his career as an ordinary medium pacer for the Eastern Cape Warriors - by his own admission quicker than 125 km/h. It was only after Mickey Arthur, the former coach of the national team, had a look at him in the nets and saw potential as a spinner that Botha dropped his ambitions for speed. Spurred on by Arthur's comments that he would do well to turn to spin, Botha remodeled his action and began studying the art of the off spinner and doosra in hopes of emulating the likes of Muttiah Muralitharan and Harbhajan Singh. A successful tour of Sri Lanka with the South Africa A side - in which he took key wickets as well as scoring runs - saw Botha's name penciled in as a potential spinning all-rounder.
ODI debut[edit]
A determined and fiercely competitive individual, Botha found a place in the squad to tour India for a five-match one-day series after Nicky Boje pulled out over security concerns in regard to charges of match fixing. He played in the first match at Hyderabad and produced a spell of 31 runs from six overs with the wicket of Irfan Pathan, bowled through the gate. Both Arthur and Graeme Smith rated him highly enough to see him as a vital part of the sides world cup campaign.
Test debut and throwing allegations[edit]
He made his Test debut against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground in January 2006 during the 2005–06 tour, and claimed batsman Mike Hussey as his first Test wicket. However, he was reported for throwing the ball at the conclusion of the match.[1] He was allowed to play several games during the 2005–06 VB Series, but in February, was suspended from bowling following an analysis by bowling expert Bruce Elliott.[2] He hoped to return to bowling after an examination by the ICC in August 2006, but he was found still to be straightening his arm more than the acceptable 15 degrees.[3] On 21 November 2006, Johan Botha's action was passed by the International Cricket Council and he was again eligible for selection by the South African national team.[4]
He made his comeback during the 2007 Afro-Asia Cup and returned to the South African one-day team during the tour of Pakistan in 2007–08.
On 14 April 2009, he was again reported for suspected illegal action. The match officials cited concern over two components of Botha's repertoire, his quicker ball and his doosra, after the completion of fourth ODI against Australia at Port Elizabeth.[5] On 12 May 2009 the ICC announced that Botha's doosra ball had been deemed 'illegal' by an independent test and that he would not be allowed to bowl the delivery in international cricket. The same test found his off-break and arm-ball deliveries to be bowled within the permitted tolerance level of 15 degrees of elbow extension.
The test was carried out on 30 April by Prof. Bruce Elliott, member of the ICC Panel of Human Movement Specialists, at the School of Sport Science, Exercise and Health, University of Western Australia, Perth. The doosra delivery was found to have an extension of 26.7 degrees and no single delivery tested was within the legal limit. Botha was told that he could re-apply for the delivery to be tested again once he had modified it, or appeal the decision within 14 days.
However his action was then deemed within the legal limits.
Captaincy of the Protea T20 team[edit]
On 20 August 2010 Graeme Smith announced that he was to surrender the captaincy in T20 Internationals but continue playing in the format. Cricket South Africa subsequently handed over the captaincy to his deputy Botha. Botha also took the One-Day International captaincy after the 2011 Cricket World Cup when Smith gave up his ODI captaincy. The deciding factor was that Botha had led South Africa to a series win against Australia earlier in 2010 when Smith was absent with injury.[6] Botha's first match as permanent captain was on 7 October 2010 against Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe scored what looked like a competitive 168 however Zimbabwe's bowling attack severely let them down and it was easily chased by the South Africans with seven-wickets and five-overs to spare.
IPL career[edit]
Johan Botha had played for 2 franchises in the IPL, Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Daredevils. In IPL 2015, Chris Lynn (who was playing for Kolkata Knight Riders) got injured, and Johan Botha was signed in as a replacement for him.

Judge Theresa DiMauro set bail at $5,000 and Scinto was released to the Brattleboro Retreat.
Rutland Police said Scinto held a large kitchen knife to the chest of a woman during an argument Monday in an apartment at Forest Park.
Scinto also allegedly wrestled a phone away from the woman when she tried to call for help.MORE IN This Just InEmployee charged

But not *the* as in "the only". If the resulting code is in org.jini.* then I have no problem with this. However, the current structure appears to be org.jini.* for APIs and com.sun.something.* for implementation. Clearly that structure says there can be multiple implementations - and in that case I'm against putting the two parts together.

Mr Tan Tock Seng ( 陈笃生) was born in Malacca in 1798 to an immigrant Hokkien father and Peranakan mother. In 1819, at the age of 21, he moved to Singapore to sell fruit, vegetable and fowl. He soon became a notable businessman, owning huge parcels of land and property. Mr Tan was an influential Chinese leader and was the first Asian to be appointed a Justice of Peace. His role in helping the early Chinese immigrants settle disputes earned him the title "Captain of the Chinese".
In 1844, at a time where crime, violence, disease and poverty were rife and the poor were dying from malnutrition, diseases, gangrenous sores and opium addiction, Mr Tan contributed Spanish $7,000 to the construction of the first Chinese Pauper's Hospital and tasked it to take care of the 'diseased of all nations'. This was how Tan Tock Seng Hospital came about – founded on a legacy of compassion, philanthropy and care.
TTSH is part of the National Healthcare Group, providing holistic and integrated patient care. The hospital has 36 clinical and allied health departments, 15 specialist centres and is powered by more than 6,000 healthcare staff. TTSH sees over 2,000 patients at its specialist clinics and some 460 patients at its emergency department every day.

Important information
- General atmosphere
- TTSH is a great place for learning in general. The various departments are very committed to teaching – there are pre-arranged tutorials by the Assistant Dean's Office and the tutors are approachable and willing to teach. The patients are generally easy-going and do not reject medical students. The nurses and hospital staff are friendly. However, it is easy to be swamped by tutorials (up to 3 or 4 a day) so the skill of good time management is very useful!

|General Medicine
- List of Wards and discipline
- Each level has 4 wards: A, B, C, D
- Variety of patients are usually distributed so do ask around for cases
- Access cards are needed for everywhere
- "Restricted" areas in the hospital : ICU / CCU
- Timetable
- Best recommended time slot for clerking: Try to come early and clerk before ward rounds, since you will often be swamped by tutorials later in the day. If not, morning would be better than afternoon as patients are more alert and willing to talk.
- General posting tips
- Excellent variety of bread-and-butter medical or surgical conditions, thus seize that chance. Do practise sufficient PEs and pick up signs
- Try not to get distracted by complicated cases although there are many lying around. Would be good to have a good relationship with yr HOs and MOs and get them to update you on good cases to clerk.
- Plan your schedule well, which takes a week or two to get used to: Consider having lesser or more tutorials of particular sub-specialties according to your cg's needs. Also have some time to clerk patients
- Summary and recommendations
- TTSH has a high patient load and many good cases.
- TTSH pledges itself to be a teaching hospital, so make good use of the environment. HOs and MOs are often very willing to teach, but do be considerate because they are often swamped with patients too.
General Surgery at Tan Tock Seng HospitalPosting in the Hospital:
- Overview of the programme in each hospital
- Ward rounds
- Starts at around 6.30am but may start even earlier at 6am
- Attendance is a must, although you wouldn't get to do much except to help obtain case files beforehand, draw curtains and assist in whatever things the rounding doctors may need.
- Exit rounds
- Attendence depends on your tutor. Some exit rounds end quite early while some end quite late. Like 5-6pm
- Strengths of programme:
|Case load:
|Variety of cases:
|Planned but can consider changes according to cg's needs
|Experience of tutors:
- Look out for: What to look out for in each hospital
- Attire/things to bring.
- Good to bring along measuring tape, pen torch and of course, stethoscope
- Sometimes it might be good to carry along some gloves and KY jelly too.
- Nurses/paramedical staff ADO's policies in different hospitals
- While tutorials are planned, do inform your tutors early because they may have some urgent operations
- Recommended tutorials
- Dr Teo Li Tserng: Fluids and Electrolytes
- Dr Sriram: vascular; esp aneurysms
- Prof Vijayan: Lumps and bumps
- Dr Aung Lwin: GI in general
- Summary and recommendations:
- Surgery at TTSH is intense but be wise in managing your time well. You have to balance integrating yourself into the team/clerking patients and creating time for yourself to study.
- Keep in mind that you are being tested on the basics: history taking, physical examination, presentation, basic management/treatment for common cases, and not the details of operating techniques of exotic operations. If you can't reach a diagnosis, no point knowing all the complicated procedures.
- The HOs and MOs in TTSH are generally highly willing to give tutorials; so don't be worried to approach any one of them. Keep in mind that registrars and consultants may be extremely busy and cannot offer you long tutorials
- Prof Low Cheng Hock is a gem; he is highly passionate about teaching. Be sure to ask him for tutorials on surgical instruments, tubes&drains and slides! He'd be more than willing to help
- Lastly, the vascular clinics are all pretty good so please spend more time there. And practise your physical examinations!
Internal Medicine at Tan Tock Seng HospitalPosting in the Hospital:
- Overview of the programme
- The posting is intense due to the high number of tutorials. As one tutor so succinctly puts it, students face "death by tutorials"!
- Instead of case write-ups, students are assigned patients and have to write the 'SOAP' notes, which will need to be presented as a Chart Simulated Record (CSR) to your principal tutor
- Ward rounds – Attendance is expected, but may be excused if you have clinics or tutorials.
- Strengths of programme:
|Case load:
|Variety of cases:
|High esp rheumatological and neurological conditions
|Planned but can consider changes according to cg's needs
|Experience of tutors:
- Look out for: What to look out for in each hospital
- Nurses/paramedical staff – generally friendly
- ADO's policies in different hospitals - Students to call up mentors
- Recommended tutorials
- Generally ADO will arrange tutors for you. Most tutors are good.
- TTSH practises rotatory for their tutors; therefore, each batch of students will get different tutors. Would be good to ask from seniors which are the better ones. Else, it is alright to 'test the waters' by arranging one tutorial first and request for additional if you think the tutor is good
- Summary and recommendations:
- The posting is intense due to the high number of tutorials.
- Students are expected to attend morning rounds, but doctors will excuse you if you have a tutorial to attend.
- TTSH is a great place to learn: there is a great number and variety of cases and most tutors are good at teaching.
- Normal clinical attire (excluding ties) is expected
- Students are expected to contact/call their tutors to arrange for tutorials.
- Enjoy your posting at the TTSH general medicine department. It'll be a great learning experience!
Orthopaedics at Tan Tock Seng HospitalPosting in the Hospital:
- Overview of the programme
- Orthopedics in ttsh is very pro-teaching, having a lot of tutorials which were scheduled for us very frequently. They were very exam-oriented as well and would prepare students for osce sufficiently well. Clinic sessions not as structured, strength is in slides teaching and going through of physical examination is important for OSSEs and OSCEs respectively.
- Ward rounds: Depends on individual teams whether one need to go. Some are pro-teaching, others are not, some want you to go, others don't, some has team breakfast at starbucks daily, some don't have team breakfast. Depends on one's luck!
- Exit rounds: Not required
- Strengths of programme:
|Case load:
|Variety of cases:
|Directed but do confirm with tutors
|Experience of tutors:
- Look out for: What to look out for in each hospital
- Nurses/paramedical staff – generally friendly
- ADO's policies in different hospitals - Students to call up mentors
- Recommended tutorials
- Physical examination by Dr Ganesan
- Yu chan sing (spine). Nice tutor, lenient but not demanding enough to ensure complete learning by the end of posting. Very open to questions but otherwise not pro-teaching.
- Dr Hitendra Doshi--very nice doctor as well. But because he sees mainly trauma, his clinics are not useful. Gives good combined cg tutorials and slide teaching.
- Dr yong fok chuan(hand). Very understanding and nice and wants to see consistent progress. Teaches but very strict in getting steps correct and on marking cex.
- Summary and recommendations:
- Orthopedics in ttsh is moderately intense. Tutors are very pro-teaching but patients are overclerked sometimes.
- Ask if one doesn't know anything. Most are very willing to teach.

News Wal-Mart Saves America!
posted by November 13 at 9:00 AMon
Just in the nick of time:
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Wall Street on Tuesday rebound after four days of losses, with investors cheered by Wal-Mart Stores Inc.'s surprisingly good results, which could bode well for the all-important holiday shopping season.
"The lack of any substantial event risk - i.e. bank write-downs - and Wal-Mart's stronger than expected earnings are boosting equities this morning," said Tom DiGaloma, head of U.S. Treasury trading at Jefferies & Co. Inc.
And then there's this bit of bright news for those in the dark belly of the American monster:
The company, according to data available for the first time, is offering better coverage to a greater number of workers. Wal-Mart, the nations largest private employer, provides insurance to 100,000 more workers than it did just three years ago and it is now easier for many to sign up for health care at Wal-Mart than at its rival, Target, whose reputation glows in comparison.
Wal-Mart finally enters the late age of soft exploitation.

"Trouble-free shades"
By Carol from MI
I love your company! I have had nothing but problems with Hunter Douglas blinds. And I spent a fortune on them. The designers/interior decorators can have them - I'm sticking with Blindsgalore.View this product
"Great Blinds"
By NYCfam from NYC
The blinds are beautiful & feel very substantial. Much less expensive then the brand I replaced them with and seem of equal quality. Easy install. Quick shipping.View this product

I'm calling a voting function via admin ajax, and this function stores a user's ID and post ID in a custom table called "votes", in order to ensure that a user can't vote more than once per post.
Just before inserting a new vote I query this custom table to make sure that they haven't already voted, which works perfectly when there is a reasonable amount of time between votes. The trouble is when they click the voting button really fast many times. This seems to get around my check by initializing my voting function several times before any records exist in my custom voting table.
Is there a better way to ensure that each user can vote only one time?

I wanted to change it's style on certain page only.
(on css editor dashboard)
I tried adding
#content {
width: 100%;
^ It works. It affects every page. However, i only want it to apply ONE page only.
So, i went and found my page id which is 268.
I used
.page-id-268 #content {
width: 100%;
But it doesn't do anything. :\

NextGEN Gallery thumbnails cut-off/squished/squashed in IE8
I just received this support question via email, and thought I'd post my reply here in case it can help anyone with similar issues...
I've actually come across this problem before in my own browser testing...it's a css styling issue present in some themes. For example, I've found it occurs in IE8 exclusively when using the Twenty Eleven theme. It is caused when images inside the post content div are styled with a "max-width" attribute and given a percentage value. My guess would be that IE8 has a problem with percentage max-widths for images when no explicit width is set.
I've just been testing your source code and can confirm this is indeed the issue. To fix, one minor css edit will be required in /wp-content/themes/origami/style.css...
Please replace this...
.content img {
height: auto;
max-width: 100%;
With this...
.content img {
height: auto;
Since the div/selector names will vary from theme to theme, the example above is for guidance only. I would recommend opening your own theme's main stylesheet (usually at /wp-content/themes/your_theme/style.css) in a text editor, and using the "Find" tool, search through all instances of "max-width". You can then either delete (or add width: auto; to) any instances related to post images.
Hope this helps!

Microsoft reveals number of Achievements unlocked since 2005 – it's a lot
Microsoft has disclosed the number of Achievements that have been accumulated since the incentives were implemented in 2005.
So far, there have been around 6.3 billion Achievements unlocked in Xbox 360 games, and the average Gamerscore is 11,286.
The average number of points racked up since 2005 as of March 2011 is 176,802,201,383.
According to Microsoft, the 20 million people who log onto Xbox Live have accumulated 4 billion hours in multiplayer since 2002.
Just for reference, one billion hours is approximately 114,079.7189 years. So 4 billion hours is roughly 456,318.8756 years worth of gameplay – meaning folks have been playing games since Peking Man walked the earth. Sort of.

Darkness never dies.Hunted across the True Sea, haunted by the lives she took on the Fold, Alina must try to make a life with Mal in an unfamiliar land, all while keeping her identity as the Sun Summoner a secret. But she can't outrun her past or her destiny for long.
The Darkling has emerged from the Shadow Fold with a terrifying new power and a dangerous plan that will test the very boundaries of the natural world. With the help of a notorious privateer, Alina returns to the country she abandoned, determined to fight the forces gathering against Ravka. But as her power grows, Alina slips deeper into the Darkling's game of forbidden magic, and farther away from Mal. Somehow, she will have to choose between her country, her power, and the love she always thought would guide her - or risk losing everything to the oncoming storm.

"Kinda of Falls For the Sophomore Curse"
I'm going to admit to a huge ambivalence about this second book in the Grisha series. On the one hand, I am still loving the world and the magic concepts. But then when it comes to the characters and the action sequences, I'm either bored or baffled. Seems like there would be an amazing story here with different people.
In Siege and Storm, Alina and Mal are trying to remain hidden from the Darkling. But double crosses (from both the Darkling and his allies) will force Alina and Mal back to the heart of Ravka. With a new (and interesting) ally, facing the Darkling in the open rather than in hiding may be their only option.
Book two suffers from a couple of sophomore symptoms: 'manufactured' conflict between the two romantic leads, emasculation of the male love interest, a dead dull, bloated middle arc, and recycled storylines from the first book. It was the same themes over again (Darkling capturing Alina and threatening someone she cares about, Alina trusting and getting romantically involved with a stranger, a large section of nothing but Alina moping/learns new responsibilities, then big action at the end) that made for a frustrating book.
But at the same time, there was an attempt at character growth for both Alina and Mal, though one moved forward and the other backward. Yes, every girl in the story wants Mal and every guy in the story seems to want Alina. That gets old and seems to only be there to create jealousy and uncertainty in the Mal-Alina relationship. As such, it made it hard to get into either character. Mal was an elusive character at best in the previous book - now he's practically inscrutable in his insecurity.
The action scenes were also very problematic for me. It seems that none of the Grisha were able to use their powers for anything other than collecting water or making a breeze. Alina can only do a sickle strike with her powers. Even knowing that an army of smoke like creatures are coming, no one seems to bother to create any kind of defense or train to defend/attack those creatures. We get one crazy invention and that's it. I admittedly became really annoyed that all the Grisha and soldiers were so amazingly ineffectual. As well, the Darkling's new power is supposedly life sucking but he seems to be able to summon an entire army just fine, other than looking a bit tired. It just didn't ring true.
There are consequences for those who side with the Darkling. And a few surprises (with hints that Mal is more than he seems) with a trail leading back to the birthplace of Mal and Alina. I'm excited, despite my lukewarm response of this book, to see where Bardugo ends the Trilogy.
The narrator did a good job and felt right for the part of Alina.
Just a book fool.
Is it just me?!
Siege and Storm is delightful story. I will be honest I find myself struggling with fantasies a lot of the time. Too many strange names and places to remember and pronounce. This book is an exception for me. It is no fluff ball but it never takes you too deep you get lost. The plot stays on course and the people and places stay to a minimum, which in my opinion is essential to a great fantasy.
Wild adventure, beautiful magic, good vs. evil, and a little bit of love sprinkled in. What else do you need?
The Sun Summoner will suck you in and leave you waiting for more!
p.s. cliffhanger
Busy mom who loves to read but doesn't always have the time. I enjoy YA, Romance and the occasional Best Seller.
"Riveting! A Must Listen"
There is no "middle book syndrome" here. This one was amazing! I loved the new characters, the action and all the plot twists and turns along the way. I don't want to give away any spoilers here, so I will just simply say this sequel was awesome! The narration was brilliant as well.
This is a must listen and totally worth the credit. Just be sure to read Shadow and Bone first (you won't be disappointed)
5 *huge* stars!!
5 stars is i love and i will read agani and again. 1 is i hate and i never want to hear about it ever again. YES = :))) - NO= :'(
"Good Start Good Ending But Slow Book"
The start of this book wasn't bad, a lot of action and tracking. but then the middle of the book towards the end of it it was slow and fast... some events passed by quickly, and other events passed by slowly.
Honestly i think this series could be really really good. so many things could have been written in a different way, and so many events could have been executed in a difference way too, making this book way much better.
One of the things i mean is those Grishens, yes it was explained some how their powers in the first bok, but how it works and so on were not presented that clearly.
I was going to give this book a lesser rating, but the end of it was really good. and I hope that the 3rd book would be much better than this one.
If you read the first one, then give this one a shot, its not bad, but could have been better. And if you have no idea whats this book about, then go and buy the first one and give it a try.
I have 3 kids that occupy all the TV's in the house...enough said...addicted to audiobook ....shhhh don't tell my husband ;-)
"Gripping series!"
I am wowed and I want more! This series never lost my attention, while listening to the books I pictured a cross between Stardust and The Sorcerer's Apprentice. It's exciting, mysteries, heartache and paranormal ....all wrapped up in a perfect Russian Kulich, what's not to like? ;-) Very credit worthy looking forward to the next book, and Lauren Fortgang you did an awesome job narrating, I was never confused on who's character was speaking...bravo!
Recently found a love for books and with Audible I can clean and keep going - I also use it in my classroom to urge kids to read.
"Grisha Tales"
these are the most coolest of YA books that there are out there. it invokes several emotions and desires from the reader as you follow the adventures and heart aches of the Sun Summoner!!
"3.75 stars"
3.75 starts. Not as good as the first book in the series but still very enjoyable, with new, interesting characters introduced and a cliffhanger to entice you to read the last book in the series, which I plan to do next.
I love to read and listen to books. I teach and share my love with my teenager and I'd like to share that love with you.
"Magic Filled Russian Landscape"
Layers. The best way to describe SIEGE & STORM is Layers. From the backdrop to the characters to their relationships. Layers. They are all so rich and complex. I was at war with myself, not knowing exactly what I wanted to happen. I had to resign myself to sitting back and seeing where LEIGH took me.
Being the second in the series, you are already familiar with LEIGH's world building. Regardless, I found myself whist off to some far away place where magic overlay-ed a Russian landscape and history that could be a character of its own.
Alina is waging a war within. She so desperately wants to be safely away from the Darkling living Happily Ever After with Mal. And I wanted that for her. Their relationship was warm and fuzzy or should I say comfortable. After growing up together and being on the run, they have this in-sync kind of banter and closeness. It was a big ol' warm hug. But there is the power in her and it is demanding to be used. Alina feels so very guilty that she wants it. She wants to use it for good, but sometimes it just calls to her in a seductive kind of way. Just like the Darkling. Oh, Darkling. You are back and so mysterious. I still haven't been able to figure out quite where you belong. Villianous? Swoony? Then there is Sturmhond. I think he almost stole the release of SIEGE & STORM. He is so alive. Witty and Sarcastic. Kind of a fun twist on Peter the Great. And so much more.
I'm liking that the trend lately in high quality 2nd books. This is by far another example. There is no letting up. It is so messy. From the relationships to the problems at hand. I am almost desperate for RISE & RUIN. I really need to know what is going to happen.
LAUREN FORTGANG was a delight. She portrayed Alina as young, with a touch of naivete, kind and playful. You could feel her joy all the way to her heavy heart. LAUREN's Mal was a little soft for me. I picture him as this overly large brute of a man, but when he is brooding and down-trodden she captured him pretty well. The Darkling was calm and resolute with a creepy evil. And there is no other way to capture Sturmhond, but larger than life. I could feel him take up the whole room when he entered a scene. I'll likely continue the series in audio, because I especially enjoyed how the magical words and locations rolled off her tongue. Much more beautiful than I could imagine saying them in my head.
"Alina makes me laugh"
I totally would. I would recommend the series to a friend. It's interesting and strange and vaguely Russian. I like it.
For me, it was when Alina saw Mal in the psuedo-Fight Club. It was probably just as upsetting for me as it was for her. Stupid boy.
She's an excellent Sturmhand, or the younger prince.
I would have if I could have, but alas, I have a grown-up job that requires most of my attention. I listen most in the car.
I really can't wait for the next book. I mean, I also want Alina and the Darkling to just go at it, but I know that can't/won't happen. I hope they find the fire bird.
Game Developer
"A sandwich with good bread but a hollow center"
The beginning and end is great but not much happens in the too-long middle.
The reader is good (and really great with female sarcasm) but some of her characterizations of men make them sound like pimply-faced 14-year-olds. Not her fault. She has a natural high pitch to her voice. Still it gets in the way when you want to see a man as a man. She would be best when most of the book is voiced by youngsters and/or monsters with an occasional adult male presence.
The story has interesting and strong characters. It was unfortunate that the men were emasculated a bit by the voice actor -- especially the mysterious privateer.
The middle of the story had too little action and too much angst instead of building the story to a fantastic climax. It has a great ending. It just takes a long and somewhat boring route to get there.
"Still as intriguing as the first book"
I can't really decide who is my favourite character in Siege and Storm. Alina is as sweet as ever but The Darkling is still so very fascinating. The more you know about him the more you wonder and also hope. And then there is new and very exciting pirate Stormhound. He is so very entertaining. So, I can't decide on favourite
I just love Lauren Fortgang's narration. She immediately draws you in. Also she is so easy to understand, which is important to everybody whose mother tongue is not English.
Though the story is quite captivating and moderately fast paced, I fast frustrated occasionally with Mal and Alina. Both seem to struggle overly much with each other and the situation and this felt a bit fabricated. Especially as this is the "middle" book and I felt as if some additional drama had to be produced. But there is plenty of actual drama already. Only a sleight thing but nevertheless.
"Preparing for the endgame."
If you've enjoyed the first book then this second won't disappoint even if it does suffer from being the middle book in the series. You know all the plans will come to nought, as things are setup for the third book.
Narration was good and understandable at x2 playback speed.

Whenever I upgrade to a newer release of WP, I experience slowness in WP when I am editing/saving posts. Anything that requires an answer from WP takes forever.... until I edit CRON.PHP
I found it somewhere on this forum, and it works every time. I search in WP-INCLUDES/CRON.PHP for the line:
$argyle = @ fsockopen( $parts['host'], $port, $errno, $errstr, 0.01 );
and I replace it with:
$argyle = @ fsockopen( $parts['scheme'].'://'.$parts['host'], $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'], $errno, $errstr, 0.01 );
and responses return to normal. Now this fix has been around for a while, and I was wondering: Why it is not implemented in the worked over CRON.PHP of the new WP versions? There might be a very good reason for that and maybe I am taking a chance here.
Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks in advance,

I can't see any scenario where Obama is not the nominee. It's his to lose. But what I find bothersome is the national polls which show McCain leading against him. Status Quo winning? Oh no! We're fucked!
Especially considering how fucked up our current status quo is.
But he hasn't started running against McCain. Let's hold off the panicking until then.
Just say yes to coca, no to cocaine.
Saying Obama regains the lead is a bit biased. It means the lead over Clinton but we all know OBama's gonna win based on pledged delegates + chicken shit fear of superdelegates to do the job they were created to do. Meanwhile, Obama is now losing against McCain and OBama does not better than Clinton against McCain:
from gallup.com:
"Both Democrats have inched closer to John McCain in the latest update on registered voters' general election preferences. McCain holds just a two percentage point edge over both -- 46% to 44% over Obama and 47% to 45% over Clinton."
So, Obama has no "lead" in electability at all.
"Obama lsoing to McCain" or "Obama tied with Clinton as against McCain" would have been accurate summaries too.
And actually better summaries as we all know OBama's going to win the nomination.
@1 and @3:
@1 is right. We should be highly concerned. We are fucked. We SHOULD be panicking (then calm down and figure out what to do).
@3: um, "Obama hasn't started running against McCain" NSDT but McCain hasn't started running against Obama and play the movie forward and you will foresee tons of ads questioning Obama's patriotism and qualifications to lead when he sticks with his pastor 20 yrs. while the pastor hates the USA and teaches that white-controlled govt. caused genocide against minorities by creating HIV. Stuff like that. Obama gave the church money, etc. etc.
The big speech Obama gave did great among democrats the media and intellectuals, but not so well among others. Let's check on that and see what survey usa says in various state based head to heads:
MA: Obama is tied to McCain. WTF!!!!! Clinton beats McCain by 13 points.
MN: Obama is down 1 point. WTF!!
Clinton is ahead 3 points. Overall, Alabama: both waay down, but Clinton does 9 pts better than Obama.
CA: Both solidly ahead of McCain C. does 4 pts. better than Obama.
IA: Obama beats McCain, Clinton loses & Obama does 18 points better than Clinton.
KS both D's lose by healthy margins, Obama does better.
NY both D's win, C does better.
VA Obama beats McCain by just one point, Clinton is tied.
WI: Obama ahead of McCain 48-44, Clinton ahead of McCain 46-45. Obama does 3 points better.
OH: Clinton wins ag. McCain 50-44. Obama loses against McCain, 43-50. WTF !!!!!!
NM: exact tie, both D's win it over McCain 51-45.
KY: not a tie. Clinton gets 43 to McCain's 53. Obama gets 28 to McCain's 64.
MO: Clinton loses to McCain by 2 points 46-48, Obama loses to McCain by 14 points, 39-53. WTF!!!
I left out OR and WA on the asumption Obama does better than Clinton.
The pattern is this:
Obama having to fight just to win MA sucks big time. Being behind in MN and losing OH totally sucks, too. That's about 42 EC votes right there. Being way better in IA with just 6 ECV hardly offsets this.
And O is so far behind in states like KY MO and AL it seems like Clinton is the one who can run the braoder campaign in more states.
Now let's look at that Survey USA map showing Obama beating McCain with 280 electoral college votes (way back on 3.6.08) (270 needed to win).
Throw out OH MN and MA from Obma's column, he becomes a general election loser with just 238 ECV.
So yes, @1 and @3, we are in deep, deep shit.
Attitudes like "let's hold off" thinking about this or let's continue the bickering for a few more months don't help. I think "we're fucked1" helps a lot mroe and is waaaay more accurate.
what do we do?
it's long been known Obama will likely win. I don't see HRC wining unless she beats him in PA and NC and IN creating a real momentum type arguments to hold and get enough superdelegates.
That kind of 3 way vicotry is possible but not very likely.
I don't see her quitting so pissing on her cause she won't quit is futile.
So.....why not have Obama look all presidential and seat FL revote MI float HRC with others for VP and all the Obama supporters stop bashing HRC and all the HRC supporters (note: comment is addressed to those who bash only. Duh.) I mean, do you want us to help Obama or not? Demonizing someone who is getting well over 45% on most yardsticks is stupid politics if you want the blunt truth.
Another solution would be to get Gore in there. If not VP, float him for "Being on the OBama team" maybe he could be the greening of the economy czar.
Likely there are other ideas, too.
Personally I'd like to see Obama take this race thing even further. There are some ways in which I find him totally not radical enough and other ways in which he should have been more sister Souljah-ish. Really, telling kids the govt. created HIV is wrong, wrong, wrong and should not be excused, for example.
Anyway, there seems to be even more teaching needed on the race issue.
Likely there are other ideas about what to do too but I think denying we are in dep shit, and bashing HRC (no matter how just or rightful) -- doesn't help.
@1 - Whatever. A couple months ago Hillary was beating Obama in polls. A few years ago Kerry was slightly ahead of Bush in polls. Other polls show Obama in the lead anyway. It's way too early to fret.
@4 - I agree, HRC should stop using former President Clinton to bash Obama.
Oh, wait, you were trying to spin it pro-McCain, weren't you?

Phoenix Children's Hospital turns to new fundraising program
PHOENIX — Phoenix Children's Hospital is taking part in the inaugural crowd-funded hospital online gift catalog. It's part of a national campaign led by Fundly, the world's largest crowdfunding-for-good platform and the Children's Miracle Network.
According to the hospital, through the fundraising program Give Miracles, individuals can purchase critically needed medical equipment and medical care for children at Phoenix Children's Hospital.
"We've got the full array, from toys to multimillion dollar gifts and everything in between. Any gift is very much appreciated," said Steve Schnall, a hospital spokesman.
Once donors choose their gift from the Give Miracles catalog, they will receive updates on how their gift is being utilized.
