A member of a street gang, angry because he thought a fellow subway rider had videotaped him, ignited a desperate struggle inside an N train early yesterday that continued onto a platform at East 59th Street in Manhattan, where three people were shot, the police said.
The gunshot victims, who the police said were revelers traveling from a party in Queens to their home in the Bronx, were in stable condition yesterday in Manhattan hospitals and were expected to recover.
The police arrested six men immediately after the shootings -- three members of the Cholos, a Mexican-American street gang, and three others -- and held them at the 17th Precinct station house pending arraignments today.
The police said the confrontation began at 2:30 a.m. when Ulises Tellez, a Cholos member, confronted a group of about 12 friends and family members on the Manhattan-bound train just after it left the Queensboro Plaza station in Queens. Mr. Tellez, 25, was furious because he believed he had been videotaped by Roberto Tehuezeel, 25, who was carrying a video camera on a strap around his neck and filming the inside of the subway car, the police said.
Mr. Tellez approached Mr. Tehuezeel, punched him in the face and tried to yank the camera from his neck, said Inspector John W. Cutter, commander of Manhattan North detectives. As many as five of Mr. Tehuezeel's friends stepped in to try to stop the fight, and the scuffle escalated as the car sped toward Manhattan, the police said.
At the station at East 59th Street and Lexington Avenue, the fight continued onto the platform, where, the police said, another of the Cholos, Daniel Carinc, 17, pulled a .22-caliber semiautomatic pistol from his belt and shot three people in rapid succession.
First, Mr. Carinc shot Mr. Tehuezeel in the chest, the police said. Next, he held the gun near the head of Tony Mani, one of Mr. Tehuezeel's friends, and pulled the trigger. Inspector Cutter said Mr. Mani flinched and the bullet grazed one side of his head.
''He's extremely lucky,'' Inspector Cutter said.
Mr. Carinc then shot a woman, Irene Cuenca, 22, in the left thigh, the police said.
The police said Ms. Cuenca, 22, was related to Mr. Mani, 32, but were not sure how. All of the victims live together in the Bronx, the police said.
The scene on the platform turned to bedlam after the shooting as the victims crawled for safety and the gang members ran.
The police said three of the men involved in the shootings were arrested on Lexington Avenue after two transit officers in pursuit saw one of them throw a pistol near a parked car. The rest were caught in the station after the police sealed it. In the aftermath, a blood-stained sock and shoe were found at the foot of an escalator, and blood could be seen along a 30-foot section of the N line platform.
Ms. Cuenca was being treated at Bellevue Hospital Center. Mr. Mani and Mr. Tehuezeel were at New York Weill Cornell Medical Center.
The police and prosecutors were reviewing charges against the six men yesterday. Officer Joseph Cavitolo, a police spokesman, said the authorities expected to charge Mr. Carinc, of 146th Street in the Bronx, with multiple counts of attempted murder, assault and gang assault, as well as robbery and criminal possession of a weapon.
The other five men in custody were Ulises Tellez; Christian Tellez, 23; Ruben Garciaza-Flores, 17; Luis Romero, 18; and Antonio Vasques, 22. They were expected to be charged with assault, gang assault and robbery, Officer Cavitolo said.
Inspector Cutter said Mr. Carinc and the Tellezes are members of the Cholos, a small, loosely knit gang that has seen a number of its members arrested in the city recently.

The Cat and the Human Imagination: Feline Images from Bast to GarfieldThe Cat and the Human Imagination is a fascinating historical survey of the changing cultural attitudes towards cats and the myriad ways that they have been depicted in literature and art. Feline images have permeated civilization since the time of the ancient Egyptians, and during this time the status of the cat has changed dramatically. The book examines the changing images-- fertility goddess, sly little predator, agent of Satan, avenging witness, aristocrat, friend, spirit of the home, bloodthirsty killer, seductive female--and relates them to the contexts in which they arose. It also analyzes how human attitudes towards cats seem to have evolved in parallel with attitudes towards animals, towards authority, and towards gender. Western literature and visual art have reflected this change, developing from bare sketches to richly varied expressions of feline personality and human interaction with cats. Katharine M. Rogers seeks out the cats who make appearances in an impressive range of literary and artistic works, providing the first critical look at the symbolic functioning of cat characters in Poe's "The Black Cat," Dickens's Bleak House, and Zola's Therese Raquin, among other literary works. The historical and artistic range covered is impressive, creating a rich compendium that is the ideal book for the cat lover seeking a refreshingly substantial and scholarly work about this fascinating animal. "This book is a classic-- something every cat-loving intellectual will have to own. (No one, of course, ever really owns a cat--but everyone should own this book.) It's the kind of book you want to quote from at the vet's, or cocktail parties, or whenever you get the urge to convert a dog lover to the true faith." --Emily Toth, Louisiana State University Katharine M. Rogers is Professor Emerita of English, City University of New York. Her previous books include Feminism in Eighteenth-Century England and Frances Burney: The World of "Female Difficulties." |

Collaborators/Experts Reviews
It worked on Kid A. It didn't work so well here. It's tough to say given that I consider Kid A to be the ultimate RADIOHEAD masterpiece if not one of the most seamless albums that I own, but it's unavoidable. Unfortunately, I cannot honestly say that Amnesiac is of anywhere near the same quality as Kid A. For one thing, cohesion is mostly lacking here--there is not really a flow from one song to the other.
The truly damning problem, however, is the fact that there are too many songs that for various reasons, I simply cannot stand, and no amount of listening or re-listening has changed that. "Knives Out", "Morning Bell/Amnesiac", "Hunting Bears", and "Life in a Glass House" simply lack any enjoyable factor in them. The latter three just plod along directionlessly and especially in the case of that awful remake of "Morning Bell", rather tunelessly until the end. I simply cannot comprehend what possessed RADIOHEAD to slaughter a song that worked so well on Kid A, and actually release the corpse to the public. "Life in a Glass House" isn't that bad, but is dull enough that I simply have no need to listen to it. The same goes for "Hunting Bears", which more than any track on Amnesiac smacks of filler. As for "Knives Out", while it's faster-paced, I simply cannot stand it, neither lyrically nor musically. I don't understand what anyone sees in it.
That isn't to say this album is without merit. "Pyramid Song", "Push/Pulk Revolving Doors", "You and Whose Army" (the end of it, anyway), "I Might Be Wrong", and "Like Spinning Plates" are all certainly worthy of mention, especially the utterly sublime "Pyramid Song", which is almost on par with the ultimate RADIOHEAD masterpiece, "How to Disappear Completely". Which is no insult to it...I'm not sure most songs COULD ever attain to such a high level. "I Might Be Wrong" is excellent here--particularly when the synth riff kicks in. It works far better here than in the studio (I've never understood all the raving and drooling about live RADIOHEAD, anyway, for the most part).
As I said, there are some very nice songs on this albums that I would definitely select if I were compiling a Greatest Hits of RADIOHEAD album. The trouble is, there just wasn't enough for me to keep this thing around, and I finally ripped the songs that I do like and sold the CD. Amnesiac quite simply lacks the consistent quality for me to consider it a good album. Knowing that Amnesiac is essentially a slapped-together album of outtakes doesn't help me any, either. And coupled with Hail to the Thief, which I also think is excessively "hailed" by some, given that it's not up to par with the three RADIOHEAD greats, I have to wonder if RADIOHEAD floundered or flat-out lost its touch after its three masterpieces in a row. Only their next album will tell.
"Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box" kicks off this one with the use of clanging sounds and drum machines with an excellent mid section, it flows well throughout and is a decent introduction. This hints that this album is full of prog tendancies although the album is not prog in itself. This track flows into "Pyramid Song", which is a strong contender for the greatest Radiohead track ever written. A beautiful, simplistic piano piece with a building up atmospheric orchestra. Simplicity would be the key, but this is Radiohead, so they have combined this simplicity with lots of technical sounds. This adds to the song giving it a unique stance and making it truely beautiful and breathtaking. The track only has about 5 lines of lyrics which dont really make sense, though they dont need to, it is very moving, emotional and depressing yet breathing positivite life.
"Pull/Pulk Revolving Doors" is a decent track though i wouldn't be surprised if it got skipped. Its basically 4 minutes of glamourus electronic beats and sampling, showing off the technical production and complexity. "You and Whose Army" is a very gentle piece by this band is one of the best pieces on the album. Thoms voice sounds almost angelic on this album. there is a dirty production used in the intro to build up the uniqueness and effects. This track has a mellow piano build up with wonderful vocals that sounds pleasing to the ears. It then picks up with an uplifting melody and even better vocal work from Thom, notice also how the production effects build up too. This track starts brilliantly but the key to this song is in its build up and climax.
"I Might be Wrong" is the first real guitar based track, opening with some feedback and leading into a cool distorted riff combined with thoms ghost like vocals. This is a great piece to listen to and moves along very swiftly. My favourite part is the climax as on the previous track. "Knives Out" is the most ordinary track here. it isn't too weird and became the albums second single. This track uses more basic standards to writing a rock track with verses and chorus structure but for Radiohead this is a welcoming change, not something they have really done in a while. "Morning Bell/Amnesiac" uses the same structure and lyrics as "Morning Bell" on Kid A yet uses different instruments to produce a very gloomy and dramatic sound. I prefer the original track though this one works well enough to please.
"Dollars and Cents" opens with a lush sound even if the vocals sound very opaque. This track has a good build up leading into some speedy vocal work by Thom. This shows off a darker edge to this album. this piece really picks up during the "why don't you quiet down" part and shows off some excellent basslines. "Hunting Bears" is a weird guitar track used to keep the album flowing. A bit of a filler but i like it, nothing much to say here really, it neither drags the album down nor excells it, skip it if you want, its barely (or bearly) a vital track. "Like Spinning Plates" is plain weird! I like it a lot even if it enduces headaches. This is the pinnacle of strange production effects. The vocals are really good here. I highly recommend you check out the live version on the I Might Be Wrong EP. "Life in a Glasshouse" almost made it onto Kid A and was the main urge for releasing the rest of Kid A's tracks that got missed out onto Amnesiac and i am damn glad they did as i love this album. This track is quite progressive, lead by Thom and the trumpeteer. This track builds up and is another headache inducer. A brilliant close to a masterpiece of an album.
This isn't the most enjoyable or accessable album of the bunch but Radiohead are at their musical best here and the album works magnificently well. This one is more difficult to see the best of and probably should be one of the last studio albums you get, when you are ready to take this on you will experince pure Radiohead bliss.
In reality it feels like the bits that didn't make the Kid A cut but which were close to the band's heart.
In that it suffers a little from all such releases - perhaps the band was too close to the music to truly be objective. Indeedm they themselves have said that they considered the Kid A/Amnesiac sessions to be the hardest working period of their careers and that they did become detrimentally (to the band) ensnared in over-analysis of every note and noise recorded.
However, despite some fairly unlistenable material here, there are gems. Pyramid Song revolves around a gorgeous piano motif, I Might Be Wrong is a great piece and Dollars and Cents is a genuinely spooky piece of music.
Like other reviewers I find Life in a Glasshouse tedious, the dissonant brass at the end of the song seeming superfluous and smacking of a kind of 'wouldn't it be great if we added...' over-reaching.
Amnesiac is best viewed as a companion piece to Kid A. With the exception of the beautiful Pyramid Song, it is not essential, though if you're a fan of Kid A, it deepens the experience of that record considerably.
Electronic gadgetry is still the basis for their sound on 'Amnesiac'. The jarring quality of opener "Packt Like Sardines In A Crushd Tin Box" is like Kraftwerk meets 'Yellow Hedgerow Dreamscape'-era Porcupine Tree. This fractured alien vibe dominates other tracks like "Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors" and "Like Spinning Plates". It's when Thom Yorke starts releasing his more emotional side that this album starts to shine. His convincing wail is smooth as silk on "Pyramid Song", a nice contrast to the subtle oddball time signature that gently jerks the song from side to side. Other high points might revolve around Yorke's vocal purges, but there's also plenty of amazing musical dexterity and chemistry from everyone else throughout "I Might Be Wrong", "Knives Out" and the inspiring "You And Whose Army?" The album ends with in an interesting sequence: 1) hazy guitar theme ("Hunting Bears"), 2) melancholy electronic phasing ("Like Spinning Plates"), 3) smoky lounge weirdness ("Life In A Glasshouse"). A fitting if disorienting end to the rollercoaster rides beforehand. 'Amnesiac' deserves to be judged on its own merit, and not in the shadow of the groundbreaking 'Kid A'.

Amnesiac is not for fans of Indie music or Alt Rock, but fans of Can, Holger Czukay's solo material, and the more avante-garde will find plenty to enjoy both here and on Kid A, the two most creative and progressive albums of Radiohead's catalogue.
This is simply not the same Radiohead that wrote Creep, but a band seeking to obliterate the looming monolith of OK Computer that threatened to be a gravestone for the band. How could they possibly follow up a work of such magnificence, relevance and, as it turned out, influence. Every other band and it's dog started to sound like Radiohead in order to shift product, so the band were faced with a dilemma;
Create OK Computer 2, or choose the more artistically ethical path of attempting to create something new? Fortunately, they chose the latter, and we are left with two highly progressive albums that are not easily accessible as Radiohead's earlier work was, but challenging and very deep. Other reviews have exposed remarkable background information, so I will do what I prefer to do - just relax myself into the musical groove and pass on what I hear.
From the opening percussive sounds of "In a Crushd Tin Box", we can tell that there is an unusual sonic landscape unfolding before us. The deep thuds of the electro groove that drives the rest of the track recalls Can. Thom's vocals are oddly soothing, but Wow! the textures that open up on guitar and keyboards are like nothing else, and the odd mantra of "I'm a reasonable man, get off my case" punches through the mix. The music continues to unfold organically and increases in intensity and complexity of texture, with every detail in the music crisply marked out until the sudden ending.
"Pyramid Song" blows the memory of the previous textures away with a simple piano riff that attempts to be rhythmically neutral. Delicate washes of electronics occasionally wind their way around Thom's haunting melody. The entry of drum and bass is pristine and rhythmically complex, and more textural build-ups keep the momentum of the musical journey intact. Again, a lyrical mantra emerges; "Nothing to fear, nothing to doubt".
"Revolving Doors" catches us by surprise - the percussive sounds are massive, giving the feeling of equipment being pushed to the limits. Mmmm! Thoms voice is oddly processed, through some kind of vocoder, and again, we get a concentration on electronic textures, with some curious and fascinating alternations The rhythm section is worth noting, as it is very inventive.
"You and Whose Army" begins like a track from OK Computer or the Iron Lung EP, with Thom's vocals, delicate guitar work from Mr Greenwood, and slightly sinister mid-range vocal harmonies. The double bass changes the sound closer to a simplistic jazz texture, and Thom's vocals wander in a nice jazz style. When the drums enter, it does seem as if we're back in OK Computer territory, but Radiohead are ahead of the game and pull in the melodies nicely to concentrate more on the textures and natural ebb and flow in the music.
"I Might be Wrong" is just incredible and unpredictable - you just don't know which way this song is going to turn, and yet the building blocks are very simple. This is how to create great and original songs without resorting to virtuosic noodling in order to impress. Instead, Radiohead concentrate on taking textures, riffs and patterns from their own past - there is much about this song that reminds me of songs on "The Bends", but then subject them to a whole new treatment with electronic washes and the layering of instrumental parts.
"Knives Out" is much more conventionally in the previously established Radiohead style - but again, listen to the rhythmic invention; there's some really subtle stuff going on here. Thom's voice is given the full treatment for this track, and rings out beautifully - this is the first time we get the feeling of a "song" proper, as in previous tracks, the voice is used simply as part of the overall musical texture.
Through the rest of the album, Radiohead continue re-inventing their sound and style moulding melodies, scultping soundscapes, realising rhythms and throwing textures off the wall - Amnesiac/Morning Bell recalls "No Surprises" with the little xylophone motif, Dollars and Cents, a monumental track, continually threatens to erupt with the driving bass line and suggestive drums with controlled build-ups and pull-backs...
This is an album that rewards the patient listener - the listener that is not after a "hit" or to be bludgeoned by virtuosic impressiveness, but demands something a bit more special from music - something that recalls the past without blatantly stealing from it, something that looks to the future and enters the realm of the experimental without going into the more psychotic avante-garde - something truly progressive, rather than regurgitative.
There is nothing to not like about Amnesiac, and everything to like. It doesn't completely blow me away - and I don't want it to. It's not an album I'd revisit constantly, but one to return to every now and then to enjoy the refreshing change, and notice things you hadn't noticed before. Although Amnesiac is far more progressive than OK Computer, and a truly great album, a Masterpiece of prog should call me from the shelf every time I go to put some music on, telling me that if I choose something else I might regret it.
Amnesiac does not do that. In fact, it kind of lives up to its name - by the time you've heard it all the way through, you know you've heard something very special, but you can't remember any of it, and you don't really want to hear it again immediately.
Hence I do not consider it a masterpiece - but it is amazing and a great investment for any fan of Prog.

So many people consider this album as the little brother of Kid A or something, maybe because after The Bends and OK Computer, they decided to experiment more with electronic music, the first step was something great, a masterpiece released in 2000 called Kid A, therefore seeing a succesful album, maybe they wanted to follow that mix of electronic with their alternative roots, as a result of that, one year later Amnesiac was released, and what have i found?
First of all i have the Special Edition album, which contains smething like a book, which is always weird, with draws and strange figures as usual, the cover art of the regular album is not the best, but it�s representative, who does not remember that "bear" crying?, the same way goes musically.
"Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box", the title is the first hint of a strange album, it starts with a bass line which is always remembered for Radiohead fans at the beggining of the album, this song is merely weird in the sense of how Yorke�s voic and drumkit are entering to the song, showiong us for the very first minute the electronic sound.
"Pyramid Song" (which it�s original name was Egyptian Song), maybe because when you hear Egypt you would probably remind pyramids and that things, anyway this is a classic song, not that beautiful as others, but with that piano landscape and mood is also memorable for any listener, that kind of songs that you could love or hate but never will be an average or "x" song.
"Pull/Pulk Revolving Doors", mmm i dont like this song at all, despite i like samples and Radiohead in it�s electronic moments, this song is boring for me, always the same style music and tones, maybe if you are a complete fan of electronic, you could enjoy it , but also you could say that this is nothing but a waste of time.
"You and Whose Army?", haha ilove this song, starting with the title, this is a very nice melodic song, with has Yorke�s beautiful voice (as usual), and a soft guitar soung hand in hand with it, how i love that lines... c�mon, c�mon, i think you drive me crazy, you and whose army?, maybe what i love is not the lyric, but the way as Thom says it.
"I Might Be Wrong" is probably one of the best if not the best track here, which shows us for the first time in the album that beloved Greenwood�s guitar, this song is not that electronic and take us back to the rockish and alternative part of Radiohead, with the always progressive part through it, here i love the changes because are always in the best place, i mean sometimes you can predict when a change comes, this time no.
"Knives Out", after a great song which is one before it, we have Knives Out making a couple of best songs of the album, this is again a song which shows us the complexity of the guitars, (remember Radiohead has 3 guitarists including Yorke), maybe you will remind a bit of Paranoid Android if you attemp to play this song, good enough for any strict listener.
"Morning Bell / Amnesiac", if you listened to Kid A you know what i am talking about, the new thing here is that is another version of the song, forget that drumming of the original, and think only of the voice and "air" as a background.
"Dollars and Cents" is another great song here, i think is one of that songs taht are always progressing despite looks like the same and repetitive way almost always, here i love tha bass making the rythm and the whole song, also the quality of the drumming is extraordinary, im sure that you might find this song interesting.
"Hunting Bears" is a short instrumental song whic offers us only some nice guitar sound, but actually is a slow electronic song, nothing special here.
"Like Spinning Plates", this is a tough one because i have to tell you that this song was only another song for me, nothing to be proud of and enjoy, but when i listened to it in the Live "I Might Be Wrong EP", i was shocked and amazed, a very different song beautiful piano replacing that poor electronic sound, so when im talking about Amnesiac�s version, i will tell that is only a nice song, nothing more.
"Life in a GlassHouse" is an excellent song to end and experimental electronic oriented album, this is originally a B- Side, so i think fans should know it very well, i love it�s emotion and everything, from the vocals and lyrcis, through the sax and melodic almost deppresive sound.
Well, after all i have to confess to you that this album has never been my favorite not even in my Radiohead�s Top 3, in fact talking about studio albums i think i like this more than Pablo Honey but that�s all. Ayway im not saying that this is a bad album , but definitely not the best, some great songs, some bad songs, i would give it actually 3.5 stars, so here 3!
SPECIAL COLLABORATOR Prog Folk
Keeping Radiohead's adventurous spirits going, this album delves/dives deeply in the roots of Thom Yorke's depression or "mal-�tre" all the way down to paranoia, alienation and simply bordering the mental sanity frontier.
This album is rather unlike anything they had done before but at the same time is a logical artistic continuation of Kid A. somehow hovering between post rock (more like the Tortoise direction) and a weird sort of trip-hop or acid-jazz, mixed in with the usual sound of Radiohead. A good deal of these tracks deal with his contradictions and his confrontations (and apparently not just his internal ones) and we are far from the impressive inventions of OK Computer. BTW, Brother Jimmy ( Caravan's Pye Hasting's brother) pulls in a few clarinet lines with his brass section buddies, but this hardly saves the day.
Too many sampled and techno-o�dal moods are preventing me to really appreciate much deeper (but I do think this might be shallower than Thom had originally intended it also), but I do confess I have a problem really caring for the problem of this eccentric self- centred songwriter he is. Thankfully, he keeps the album short enough not to have you pop it out of your deck.
As intimate and personal or even inventive of an album, I think this is too obtuse for the average proghead to invest time (and money) into this album, for the little potential rewards that repeated listenings might just bring to you. And although there are moments of beauty, the risk of driving you to the brink of mental insanity or even suicide is a bit too evident should you decide to get intimate with Thom's alienations.
2 stars (in musical standards, for non-prog fans)
After two highly sucessful albums (Ok Computer, Kid A) where Radiohead developed their own interesting sound mixing rock with electronica, Radiohead seemed to have decided to develop their creative (Yet somewhat inaccessible) Kid A and make it even much more progressive. So, more progressive should be a good thing in a progressive rock world, but this time it isn't. This album is somewhat dull, hard to understand, and at points somewhat unlistenable. The music just reached a point that by being so obtuse and deep, I just can't really enjoy the music. In short, this album sounds like a psychological mess put to music, with questionable results.
Packed Like Sardines begins the album and sounds like a song coming from Kid A, electronic, hypnotic, creative, etc. Not really good, but it is quite listenable. Pyramid Song might make you think the album would be a complete masterpiece. This is possibly the most depressingly beautiful song I have ever heard and easily my favourite Radiohead song alongside Idioteque from Kid A. I can't put to words how beautiful this song is, you have to listen to it. Tom Yorke's vocals are at the very best, the keyboard arrangement and off-beat piano gives me goosebumps, and all the other instruments complement the perfect music flawlessly.
That's it, might as well stop the album here. When you hear someone as horrid as Pull/Pulk Revolving Doors attack your hears with the unmusical noise that makes up the rhythm. For some reason, the background noise reminds me of Porcupine Tree. You and Who's Army is as good as the opener. That means it is listenable. At least it sounds like music, with nice melodies and chords. I might Be Wrong , is an ok piece driven by a guitar riff, but it is probably too long for the amount of material it offers. Knives Out has a pleasant guitar riff, but the sound quality of the song is unbearable, and the song does not have much besides that guitar. Amnesiac/Morning Bell sounds very familiar, it reminds me of Sigur Ros but with a depressing tone. Not bad. Dollars and Cents might be the "Idioteque" of this album, with driving rhythms and desperate vocals but nowhere close as good. However, it is possibly the second best song of the album. An interesting thing to note is when a symphonic keyboard enters at minute 3. Hunting Bears is pointless guitar noodling for 2 minutes, but the next song Like Spinning Plates is a very paranoic and quote successful at portraying it, but as music, it is not that enjoyable. Life in a Glass House is, I must say, my 3rd favourite song of the album. It is a nice jazz song with the style of singing from Radiohead. As a result, it sounds quite unique.

Who Should Get this: Any fan of Radiohead's Post "Bends" period, especially fans of "Kid A". Any fan of the genre of post-rock (Godspeed, Sigur ros, etc), Anyone who wants to try to listen something quite obtuse and unusual.
Who Should Not Get This: Anyone who do not like Radiohead, Anyone who does not like electronic sounds. Anyone who does not want to take a risk over something inaccessible that might never click on them. Anyone on a tight budget who could just buy a more enjoyable experimental album.
My Grade : D/C
For several reasons.
The mood and sounds of this album are almost identical to "Kid A". Mostly because the music developed here was written at the same time and can be considered as left over. And they pretty much sound like this.
There are some blunders as well, like the very weak "Pulk Pull Revolving Doors" which is another dull electronic experimentation. Yorke's laments are the same as well ("You & Whose Army").
There is little inspiration to be felt on this work and the fan might have a feeling of being fooled in some way. The band should have released this "work" as a bonus CD for "Kid A". It would have been more honest.
Anyway, I really don't like this album very much (but "Kid A" wasn't my cup of tea either). Just as "Optimistic" was my fave from their previous album, "Knives Out" is my favourite on this one. The reason being very simple: it is a true and good "Radiohead" song. It is so simple to be effective, isn't it? I'm just asking more of these.
There is of course a languishing one as well; otherwise this shouldn't be a Radiohead" album ("Morning Bell/Amnesiac"). But that's almost it in terms of good songs.
As soon as the band gets back to their electronics, I just lose control. Can't help. In this respect, "Like Spinning Plates" is unbearable to my ears. Two stars for this average album.
It's a bit annoying when people simply pass 'Amnesiac' as just being a collection of 'Kid A' b-sides (even though that's sort of what it is.) It's not detached from 'Kid A' at all; I just don't think it's a complete subordinate to it's 'big brother.' In fact, I listen to this album alot more, and some of the songs on here, I like more than any of the material on the other one.
By why is 'Kid A' hailed as a masterpiece, and not this one?
I would say consistency. There's honestly some stuff here that really does sound like it's a b-side, whereas 'Kid A' wielded a strong sense of cohesion and album-sensibility...
But why doe's Amnesiac earn a good rating as well?
Because the songwriting is generally great, and it's only stripped of enough weirdness as to make it more listenable, but still progressive and unpredictable. Listening to 'Amnesiac,' I start to wish there were at least some songs on there that had a 'single' quality about them, so as to give a break from the strangeness and give the listener a mind's rest. Songs like 'Knives Out' and 'Like Spinning Plates' are full of emotion, and 'The Pyramid Song' while coupled with a bit of an annoying vocal performance from Thom Yorke, should appeal to prog fans.
'Amnesiac' will be compared to 'Kid A' until the end of time; theres nothing past that. However, on it's own, it is a relatively strong album with some gorgeous tracks, and deserves much more than being dismissed as a 'b-side compilation.' 'Amnesiac' is a companion to 'Kid A,' and nothing less. 3.5 stars.
SPECIAL COLLABORATOR Honorary Collaborator
Stylistically "Kid A (2000)" and "Amnesiac" feature a lot of similarities, which is only natural since they were recorded during the same sessions, and the tracklists for the two releases probably weren�t chosen before all material was ready, but there are differences between the two albums too that make them stand out as individual entities. Overall "Kid A (2000)" is a more electronic inclined release while "Amnesiac" reintroduces rock guitars to the band�s sound. "Amnesiac" is still an alternative rock album, featuring a lot of electronic elements though as well as elements from ambient pop/rock, rather than a more guitar driven rock release. It�s pretty eclectic too which the New Orleans-styled jazz rock track "Life in a GlassHouse" is an example of.
"Amnesiac" features high level musicianship and while there is a lot of focus on experimenting with sounds it�s still lead vocalist Thom Yorke�s emotional vocal delivery that�s predominantly in focus and ultimately defines the band�s sound. The whole thing is packed in a professional and well sounding production, which brings out the best in the music.
With "OK Computer (1997)" and "Kid A (2000)", Radiohead more or less revolutionized the alternative rock scene and also managed to bring a more experimental spin on creating rock music to a mainstream audience. It�s quite a huge achivement and therefore it�s probably utopia to think that they could continue releasing such high quality statements. My overall impression of "Amnesiac" might suffer a bit from the huge expectations I had as the result of listening to the two innovative predecessors. To my ears it doesn�t quite reach the heights of those two albums. It�s however still a pretty great and quite adventurous release by Radiohead deserving a 3.5 star (70%) rating.
Amnesiac features some fantastic songs that are among Radiohead's best. The emotional "Pyramid Song" is a very interesting and emotional piece telling a dream Thom Yorke once had. "I Might Be Wrong" features a catchy guitar riff and a great chorus, which makes this one of my favorite Radiohead tracks. "Knives Out" is one of the album's singles and is one of the most accesible songs here. This doesn't mean that it isn't a great track though, and I can always enjoy it. "Dollars and Cents" is one of the darkest tracks on here. It features a good bassline with mysterious sounding vocals.
The remaining tracks are less interesting, though most of them are still nice. "You And Whose Army" is a beautiful and gentle piece and the final two tracks are good, though not among the album's best at all. "Morning Bell/Amnesiac" is a remake of "Morning Bell", which originally appeared on Kid A. This version is much weaker than the one appearing on Kid A though. Just like Kid A, Amnesiac features a bunch of weaker pieces too. The opener, "Packt Like Sardines In A Crushd Tin Box" isn't an interesting track at all, and the same goes for "Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors". "Hunting Bears" is another track that simply doesn't do much good to me.
Amnesiac is a slightly less good album than Kid A in my opinion, though the difference isn't very big. I rate this album three stars, as it's a pretty good album, though very far from perfect. The album is rather inconsistent and not as interesting as several other Radiohead releases.
The album bunches all of the "normal" songs into the middle, in a move that seems a little odd to me. Despite how much I enjoyed the experimentation on the last album, these are easily my favorites of Amnesiac. "I Might be Wrong" boasts an extremely effective riff that plays well off of the various "modern" (circa 2001) percussion rhythms, and Thom delivers a performance that reeks (in a good way) of snide cynicism. "Knives Out" sounds just like a typical OK Computer track, with a great set of guitar lines and a hell of a dark vibe (it appears to be about cannibalism), and because of that it's not surprising that so many fans clamored for this track to make it onto a proper studio album. And finally, "Amnesiac/Morning Bell" is a reworking of the Kid A version of the track, as the arrangement now centers around slow guitars instead of keyboards, and it's quite nice.
The other eight tracks, though, are all over the map. Quite a few of them, as has been pointed out by some others, work better as ideas than as completed tracks, and don't feel quite done yet. The most obvious offender is "Hunting Bears," a two minute guitar (mostly) instrumental that basically keeps playing a single line (that's not that great) over and over again, and it clearly should have been left off the album. "Pyramid Song" works more as a mood song than anything else, as the piano chords and various synth wails sound pretty and sad, and largely cover up the seemingly directionless nature of the song. I guess it would help if I could figure out exactly what mood the band tried to convey here. Some tracks, like the opening "Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box," or "Pull/Pulk Revolving Doors," or "Like Spinning Plates," basically take a few off-kilter electronic rhythms and textures and build an entire song around them, with some singing that doesn't really have much of an effect one way or the other. I mean, I basically like these tracks, but I still find them a little off-putting, and I don't "get" them the way I do a lot of the Kid A material. I do like the closing "Life in a Glass House," with some effective and unexpected use of big band sounds, but the other two ("You and Whose Army?," "Dollars and Cents") more or less pass me by every time I hear them.
So basically, I still don't really know what to think of this album. My inclination is that I quite like the album overall, and that parts of it are great, but it still confuses me in a lot of places. I'd rather listen to this album straight through than The Bends, which is why it gets a slightly higher grade (to be exact, The Bends is a high ***, this is a very low ****), but I can't go higher than that. Fans of the band will definitely want this, but others should probably make sure they like Kid A a lot before getting this one.
PS: The "Hunting Bears" slot was originally supposed to be filled with a fantastic track called "Cuttooth," but was pulled out at the last minute for reasons I still don't know. With that track in the "Hunting Bears" slot, the flow and feel of the entire second half changes and improves drastically, and this becomes a more solid **** that could make a case some days for a *****. Alas, 'twas not to be.

China, the world's top energy consumer, aims to raise the share of natural gas in its energy mix to 8 percent by 2015 from 5 percent now to cut emissions from coal and lessen dependence on oil imports.
Domestic gas production is struggling to keep up, however, and imports will need to nearly double from 2012 to around 80 billion cubic metres (bcm) by 2015 to meet the target.
China's LNG imports rose 25 percent to 8.33 million tonnes in the first half of this year from the year-ago period, customs data shows.
The first phase of the floating LNG project in the northern port of Tianjin, costing 3.3 billion yuan ($539 million), is designed to have an annual receiving capacity of 2.2 million tonnes or 3.0 bcm, CNOOC Gas & Power Group said on its website www.cnoocgas.com on Wednesday.
"Compared with a normal LNG terminal, the floating LNG terminal in Tianjin can realise rapid LNG supply, shortening the construction period by three to four years," CNOOC said.
Floating storage and regasification services will be rented from overseas, it said.
The second phase of the project will lead to a normal onshore LNG terminal, with an annual receiving capacity of no less than 6.0 million tonnes, or 8.0 bcm, it said.
Natural gas from the terminal will supply Tianjin and Beijing as well as Hebei and Shandong provinces, it added.
CNOOC, China's leading firm in the LNG business, is operating four LNG terminals along the coastline and building several more to reach a total receiving capacity of 30 million tonnes a year.
China is operating six import LNG terminals, with a total receiving capacity of 21.9 million tonnes per year. Another dozen terminals with a capacity of 59.4 million tonnes per year have won government approval or have started construction.
The government is also liberalising its gas pricing regime, raising the price local distributors pay for gas for non-residential use by 15 percent in July, a move that will reduce the losses that gas producers and importers take on the fuel.

Subject | Getting a Fileset from a String |
Date | Fri, 26 Mar 2004 13:26:01 GMT |
Hello, I've got some (obviously uncommon) problem: I feed ant with a property consisting of a comma-seperated list of .jar files, which I want to use like a fileset. e.g. ${additional.libs} = "c:\somedir\liba.jar, d:\foo\bar\lib2.jar" The problem is that I can't construct a fileset from a list of (absolute) filenames, because <fileset> always works relative to some dir - apparently it even doesn't seem to work with dir="/" . I actually can construct a <path> from that string - but that doesn't help me, since a cannot e.g. pass a <path> to a <jar> - task. I simply want to tell ant to process a list of files - can it be that this isn't possible? Am I missing something ? thanks in advance Florian --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com | |

Today, ever fond of a paradox, we at The Last Word complete our look forward to all the looking back we will be encouraged to do in 2010.
Last week, we covered the months January to June, so let's now start with 5 July, the 30th anniversary of one of the epic tennis matches, the five-set final between Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe that yielded the Swede's fifth consecutive, and last, Wimbledon title. On 27 July it will be 20 years since another sporting epic, Graham Gooch's remarkable knock of 333 against India at Lord's. His 123 in the second innings made him the first man in the history of Test cricket to score a triple-century and a century. How England could use that kind of batting in Johannesburg right now.
Returning to 1980, it was quite a summer. On 1 August it will be 30 years since Seb Coe found spectacular redemption, having lost the Olympic 800 metres final to Steve Ovett six days earlier, by winning 1500 metres gold. Two landmark birthdays fall later in the month. Alan Shearer, once the tormentor of centre-halves, now the tormentor of discerning Match of the Day viewers, hits 40 on the 13th, while three days later Jeff Thomson, still reckoned by an old adversary, Bob Willis, to have been the quickest bowler of all time, turns 60.
If nobody has ever delivered a bouncer quite like Thommo, who ever delivered an aperçu like John Arlott? That summer of 1980 had its sadnesses as well; the peerless Arlott gave his last commentary on 2 September. On 4 September, it will be 20 years since football's new "professional foul" law was first invoked in the top division with the brandishing of a red card. The player sent off? Manchester United's Steve Bruce.
The same month sees the 50th anniversary of a more significant football first: on 9 September it will be half a century since Blackpool v Bolton Wanderers became the first league match televised live. As for cup football, on 12 September it will be 125 years since Arbroath established a record that endures today, beating poor old Bon Accord, from Aberdeen, 36-0 in the Scottish Cup. The Arbroath centre-forward John Petrie scored 13 of them, and another Scotsman had a similarly memorable day a century later. On 15 September it will be 25 years since Sam Torrance holed the putt that reclaimed the Ryder Cup from the United States for the first time since 1957.
Back to great Aussie cricketers and great broadcasters, but this time a man who fits both categories: on 6 October Richie Benaud turns 80, doubtless with the same panache with which he once turned a cricket ball. And back, too, to great British middle-distance runners: Steve Cram passes 50 on 14 October.
Three days later, it will be 150 years since golf's first Open Championship was contested at Prestwick. Willie Park was the winner; only eight men took part. And four days after that, the cricket world has further cause to crack open the champagne, even if not everyone feels that Geoffrey Boycott's 70th is cause for celebration. Joining him a couple of days later on three score years and 10 is (outside Yorkshire) an even bigger sporting icon: Pele.
On 29 October it will be 50 years since one Tunney Hunsaker became a footnote in sporting history, as the first boxer to lose a professional fight to Cassius Clay, the future Muhammad Ali. And the following day, Diego Maradona, the only man to rival Pele as the greatest footballer to draw breath (please don't write in, those of you who would award that distinction to George Best), makes it, somehow or other, to 50. Exactly a month later, on 30 November, Gary Lineker catches up.
One of Lineker's claims to sporting fame is that he has racked up centuries in three sports: more than 100 goals in football, several century breaks on the snooker table, and a ton at Lord's. A keen cricket fan, he will surely be aware that, just a fortnight after he was born, occurred what many still consider to have been the most thrilling Test match of all, the famous tie at Brisbane between Richie Benaud's Australians and the West Indies of Sobers, Worrell, Ramadhin and Valentine.
Finally, fittingly, the last notable anniversary of 2010 also takes us back the furthest. On 18 December it will be 200 years since championship belts became part of pugilism. The first one was presented to the bare-knuckle fighter Tom Cribb – who (with a bit of help from the crowd) had beaten the freed American slave Tom Molineaux at Copthall Common, Sussex – by boxing's most noteworthy fan, King George III.
Easy target Tiger is not fair game
An iron-pumping Tiger Woods, bare of torso, steely of gaze, looks out from the cover of the February issue of Vanity Fair, which will doubtless compel many sports fans to shell out £4.20, as it did me in Piccadilly station, Manchester, on Wednesday. But be warned.
While the photographs by Annie Leibowitz, taken before Tiger's fall from grace, are diverting enough, the accompanying article is a thoroughly nasty exercise in schadenfreude, based on the highly questionable notion that we are all, scarcely less than poor, wronged Elin, victims of the golfer's serial infidelities. Vanity Fair is a fine magazine, but this is well below par.

Watch Joe Maddon discuss the health status of Addison Russell (back). After talking with the training staff the Cubs are still confident he can start opening day.
Watch Joe Maddon discuss Munenori Kawasaki after he was released on Tuesday.
Duck, Duck, Duck....
Addison Russell (back) is hopeful to play Wednesday or at lest Thur/Fri but missing opening day isn't completely out of the question if he isn't 100 percent. He's close but doesn't want to take any chances. Ben Zobrist (neck) is back in the lineup on Tuesday after missing a week.
The Cubs released Munenori Kawasaki giving him a chance to explore other opportunities. There's still a chance he returns to the organization.
ESPN's Dana O'Neil explains to Bernie Miklasz of 101 ESPN why Brad Underwood was a great choice to be the next head basketball coach at the University of Illinois.
Dancing the cha-cha this time, David Ross once again gets high marks. "You're past second base," the ex-Cub was told after his Week 2 performance.
Buster Olney talks to Cubs broadcaster Len Kasper about a potential hangover for the team, the relationship between Jon Lester & Willson Contreras & Jason Heyward's progress.
Buster Olney talks to Keith Law about Jose Canseco joining the A's broadcast booth, the Cardinals' plans with Yadier Molina and more. Plus, some "Inside Heat" on the Cubs from broadcaster Len Kasper and a check-in on the Indians from PxP voice Tom Hamilton.
The continued development of Northwestern QB Clayton Thorson would mean avoiding sacks and making more plays with his feet.
Spring football is a time for hope and the thought that anything is possible, right? Um, no. Here's why your team will be disappointed in the fall.
The Stanley Cup playoffs start in two weeks. But who would be the favorite to win it all if they started today? Our writers were practically unanimous in their decision -- despite misgivings.
Center field is a question mark on a team with very few of them. The two Cubs sharing the job discuss the road that led them to the challenge ahead.
Cheap steals in AL-only: Jacob May now has a clear path to the White Sox's center field job, following Peter Bourjos' trade to the Rays. May offers speed and defense and little else -- and he's probably a backup come late May when Charlie Tilson returns -- but that's a skills combination that worked for Jarrod Dyson for years in Kansas City.
Former Tampa Bay GM Mark Dominik thinks Bears quarterback Mike Glennon can be better than Super Bowl XLVII MVP Joe Flacco.
The Lions shored up the right side of their offensive line by adding Rick Wagner and T.J. Lang, but they weren't the only team to improve in the North.
Watch Jon Lester discuss how he feels heading into the regular season. He wrapped up his spring with 6 innings against the Indians where his stuff got better as the game went along. He says he's ready.
Yanni Gourde had a breakaway goal 4:25 into overtime and the Tampa Bay Lightning rallied from a three-goal deficit to beat the Chicago Blackhawks 5-4 on Monday night.
Bulls G Jimmy Butler had 20 points and a career-high 14 assists Sunday vs. the Bucks. The last Chicago player to total that many points and assists in a game was Pau Gasol (22 points, 14 assists vs. the Blazers on Feb. 27, 2016), per the Elias Sports Bureau.

Chicago remains at No. 29 following a signing period highlighted by a change at quarterback.

GRABS IS THE MAN! His speed AND acceleration is killer... and he makes his shots count... Grabs is tied for goals, and is now at +10... in top 5 in points, goals and +/-
Last edited by Titan_Fan; 02-13-2011 at 05:59 PM.
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
^Tied for rookie lead in goals. Fastest Skater in the NHL. Couture has 17 ES goals and 0 SHG. Grabner has 21 ES goals and 2 SHG. Grabner is a +10. Couture is a +12.
Other notables: JEff Skinner, Cam Fowler, Sergei Bobrovsky.
These are the big 5 right now in the Calder race, while Bobby is falling out fast.
i think grabs is a +11 now
^Even more awesome if so!
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
the only thing keeping grabneROY from winning the calder would be his assist totals.
This may be the best waiver pick up Isles have ever had...

Even Strength/Shorthanded stats!:
Grabner: 23 G, 8 A, 31 P
Couture: 17 G, 11 A, 28 P
Skinner: 16 G, 13 A, 28 P
Go Grabs Go!
he's on pace for 35 goals and 50 points
^Yeah Nielsen and KO. KO only has 12 games and Nielsen is probably the best pure playmaker on our team.
thank you vancouver and florida
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
Thats including starting the season with 9 goals and 3 assists in 37 games. Now in his last 15 games he has 15 goals and 6 assists. If he were to just do a little better than right in between those 2 for the rest fo the year, we could see him hit 40 goals, and as KO gets from trainign camp mode to season mode, his assists totals will go up too.
Nielson is a big aid for setting up scoring chances for Grabs... though not as much of a goal scorer... KO has only been back a few games... with more time, KO on this line will just make it better and create more opportunities for Grabs.. Seems Grabs exploded since KO came back on the line...

Forewarn (Ability)
From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
This move effect may be in need of research. Reason: Can it reveal a move of a non-adjacent Pokémon in a Triple Battle? (Does a move being able to hit non-adjacent Pokémon affect this?) Check the powers assigned to moves without them in Gen V and VI (the list may only be accurate to Gen IV: Hidden Power probably only has a power assigned prior to Gen VI, and other moves are probably assigned 80) You can discuss this on the talk page. |
This article is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this article to add missing information and complete it. Reason: Mystery Dungeon. |
Forewarn | よちむ | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Prophetic Dream | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Flavor text
Forewarn (Japanese: よちむ Prophetic Dream) is an Ability introduced in Generation IV.
In battle
Forewarn shows the opponent's move with the highest power. If two or more moves are of the same power, one will be chosen at random.
In a Double Battle, Forewarn will only show the highest power move out of all the moves known by both opponents. If both opponents have a move with the same power, one will be chosen at random.
Damaging moves without a power (i.e. moves that deal direct damage and moves that have variable power) are assigned one.
In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness, a Pokémon with Forewarn occasionally evades moves, even moves that never miss.
Outside of battle
Forewarn has no effect outside of battle.
