Have some questions about how to achive better handling and stopping power using different springs, upgrading to coilovers, questions on swaybars, bushings, different rotors, pads, ect... Having any steering problems or questions about steering racks, tie rods, tie rod ends, ect... ask these questions here.
New guy checking in here, I've had my 00 mtx for less than a year now.
I've been searching through forums in my spare time to soak all the info up. When my driver side shoes separated and started rolling freely in the drum producing the lovliest of noises I figured it was time for the rear disc upgrade... what followed was a series of ups and downs. It ended with Sebring rear discs from an 01 being mounted at the 12clock position.
This was not my original intent, nor do I recommend this set up if you can spend the money to just get proper backing plate (SRT / RT) The only reason I went this route was cost, availability, and a bit of pride once things got under way.
I literally finished this hours ago, it has since got me home and to taco Bell without complete failure so huzzah! I washed my phone last week or I would have documented my process more, but when I remove it all for inspection later this week I'll take some pictures. I searched heavily for people using cloud car suspension / brake parts on neons and came up pretty short. Has anyone else done anything like this before?
Thanks in advance and sorry for no pictures yet!
Re: Sebring rear disc swap.
I think there is a post somewhere, (or used to be) with rear disc options that may work on neons. As long as the bleeder screws are on top, and they do the job, I think that's the important part!
Well! Sorry for the delay but here they are.
I was searching the yard for rear disc neons / pts in a cloud of cloud cars....so after some head scratching and some junkyard mock up (minus the caliper....lovely mistake on my end.) I found the rear disc Sebring backing plates matched our knuckles perfect.
I was sitting in my buddies shop outside lot, surrounded by Mopar haters with a point to prove. This wasn't over. I'll carry on my post and pics of the knuckle template i made.
Back to the JY for now.

The Chairman introduced the update, noting that the impact of the Brexit process on property and financial investments was distinct. With regards to property, international demand may be stimulated by the fluctuating value of the pound, but this may only offset reduced short-term demand for property. With regards to financial investment, the global economy was a more significant factor due to the international nature of the Corporation's portfolio.
The Chamberlain advised the Committee that any threat to the Corporation's income streams were monitored. The Town Clerk had been hosting a fortnightly Brexit Planning Group, which involved Chief Officers, and had been tracking the situation carefully as it developed.
A Member stated that the ongoing legal case between the European Medical Agency and the Canary Wharf Group may have implications for the City of London Corporation, particularly if the European Medical Agency's case was successful, and expressed their hope that officers were tracking the case as it developed. The City Surveyor confirmed that no properties in the Corporation's portfolio were currently let to EU agencies or related bodies.

George Takei's Allegiance Beskrivning
Inspired by the life story of renowned actor and activist George Takei, the UK premiere of the uplifting Broadway Musical, Allegiance, follows the story of the Kimura family and their struggles in the aftermath of the attack on Pearl Harbor.
In a world ravaged by the effects of war, Allegiance reveals the courage and loyalty of family in a time of great injustice as 120,000 Japanese Americans are forced into internment camps, testing the power and resilience of the human spirit.
Sam Kimura (Telly Leung) believes enlisting is the way to demonstrate his patriotism and win the freedom of his people. His sister Kei (Aynrand Ferrer) sides against him and joins the resistance movement in the camp. Soon the political conflict is mirrored within the Kimura family, leading brother and sister down starkly different paths as they decide where their allegiance lies.
Created by Lorenzo Thione and Jay Kuo with a book by Marc Acito, George Takei's Allegiance held its world premiere at San Diego's Old Globe Theatre in 2012, setting box-office records. After a triumphant run on Broadway and a subsequent film seen around the world, Allegiance transfers to London for its European premiere in a newly conceived production directed and choreographed by Tara Overfield Wilkinson, playing at Charing Cross Theatre from 7 January - 8 April 2023.

SUVs journal » Reviews » The famous "General off-road", or what good is a Nissan patrol?
Production of the legendary Japanese SUV dates back to 1951, when the factory nissan has released the first model designed for the needs of the army and police. Has since been replaced more than one generation of the car, and the number of actual fans model already tens of thousands of people. Let's try to understand the reasons for this popularity, acquainted with the real experience of many owners patrol.
Beauty, according to owner reviews, modest but spacious. No problems with free accommodation inside does not occur even among passengers in the largest sizes. But still most of the opinions on patrol for its handling characteristics.
Among our countrymen the most widely diesel. First of all, it was connected with the fact that this engine had lower fuel consumption (11-12 liters against 15 gasoline; diesel fuel in those days cost cheaper). Diesel engine brilliantly proved from the point of view of reliability. According to the drivers, the motor worked long and trouble-free even in the most severe conditions. Yes, and problems with the start he has not occurred, unless it was flooded with low-quality fuel.
Wide use today patrol 1988 received in various jeep-trial, as well as lovers of hunting and fishing, because of its powerful suspension with helical springs are capable of, as they say motorists, to do the impossible. The only advice from drivers: if you wish Nissan patrol buy exclusively for off-road use, then stop your choice on the three-door version.
In 1997 at the Frankfurt motor show was shown a new patrol gr. Changes are already evident at first sight: the car has completely changed its appearance. According to motorists, the new appearance of the patrol even better conveys the true off-road nature of the machine. By the way, in 2001, was the restyling of the car, with the result that he got an updated bumper with integrated foglights, new chrome trim grille and some small fixes.
Inside from the previous generation there was only a wheel with four spokes. But he, according to those owners who are familiar with the two generations at once, began to be much closer to the driver, and it is possible to adjust the angle. In principle, speak Russian motorists, beauty patrol fifth generation performed no worse than the beauty of any normal passenger car: very comfortable and attractive instrument panel, center armrest, neat door panel. Trim raises no objections, on the contrary, can be heard only good opinions. This involves a simple configuration, and more expensive, including leather seat upholstery. Place inside a new patrol pretty much all passengers can be accommodated without any problems, and things can be easily placed in a huge 2287-litre Luggage compartment.
All engines are combined with either a 5-speed mechanics or 6-speed automatic transmission. And again spread we got exactly the diesel engines for the above mentioned qualities.
As for off-road abilities of the car, then here it becomes obvious, on the basis of nicknames, which patrol received from drivers: General off-road. And indeed, equal to, essentially, no.
As they say owners, this feature allowed the "General" calmly to conquer off-road due to the larger coupling of wheels with the surface. The car, as before, has a strong spar frame, spring suspension. You can also include a full drive straight during the movement. All this helped to earn patrol'at such high rank among motorists. No emergency problems during the operation of these models does not occur, except for one: the first cars (1998) can suffer "diseases" engine, if the previous owner did not provide proper care. The rest of the patrol undemanding and requires only ordinary care, like any other car.
The changes affected the internal and external design and technical characteristics of the car. The SUV has significantly changed in appearance: form it became more smooth, no sharp transitions. This gave the car of swiftness and ease. For this reason, many motorists say that the new generation of disappointed them, as the car became more urban than off-road.
Nissan has increased considerably in size, instead of continuous bridges acquired independent spring suspension, retained a frame body structure. But the frame and its elements have changed, for example, the structure of power in aperture rear doors, now closed on the load-bearing structure of the body. Such changes were necessary, as they allow to reduce the vibration level and to create a zone of plastic deformation, is very important for passive vehicle safety.
Motor patrol 2010 only gasoline by volume of 5.6 l It is a 400-strong. As for fuel consumption, it is 14.5 liters in the combined cycle, while riding in the city – 20.6 liters. The addition is automatic 7-band transmission, speed modes are switched manually. Russian buyers of the last generation, not so much because the new Nissan patrol price exceeds 3,000,000 rubles, and features former might not have survived. Therefore, our drivers are advised to purchase patrol the previous, fifth generation.


Uses: Citric Acid Esters of Mono and Diglycerides of fatty acids are used in cake mixes and oven ready chips. For use in baked goods, including extensive use in bread and all types of dairy foods, margarine and ice cream. Also used extensively in bread and wheat based bakery goods, which give the home baked taste. Used in high fat bread, edible fats, whipped fats and meat products.
Chemically the fatty acids from vegetable or animal origin are identical.The tests were carried out only over 2 years and are therefore not complete. Also used in Cadbury's chocolate bars to make the chocolate spread further therefore cutting costs but charging the same price.
In large amounts it can interfere with intestinal function. It can less frequently cause diarrhoea, thirst, dizziness and mental confusion.
Description: Citric Acid Esters of Mono and Diglycerides of fatty acids, are mainly from synthetic fats, produced from glycerol and natural fatty acids, mainly from plant origin, but also fats of animal origin may be used. What are fatty acids? The product generally is a mixture of different components, with a composition similar to partially digested natural fat esterified with other natural acids, but these terms can be misleading. It is all down to their extraction method. Occurs in fruit skins and nuts.
These additional acids are a mixture of (acetic, lactic, tartaric, citric) and range in differing toxicities, depending on their extraction methods. Emulsifiers and stabilisers used in foods can upset the natural balance and can cause gastric upsets. The body metabolises the products as any other fat but because of their mixture with various types of oils and extraction methods, discretion is advised, especially in those sensitive.


Pretty primroses bloom from brightly colored, moss-filled chinoiserie pots on the Primroses Paper Beverage Napkins. This beautiful design befits a proper English garden party! The napkins are made of triple-ply tissue and printed in Germany with non-toxic, water-soluble dyes and food-safe ink. They are FSC-certified and made using environmentally-conscious raw materials, which ensures they are both biodegradable and compostable. These napkins bring eco-friendly style and convenience to your tabletop. 20 napkins per package.


The goal for the design was to create a website with a gallery for a professional master photographer to display thousands of pictures in albums. To accomodate easy content management the open source gallery Plogger was incorporated into the website.
One of the design criteria was to use the existing color scheme in use for brochures and advertising. Another key requirement was to allow the salon owner to modify prices, coupon conditions and salon opening hours without external help.
Consignment Bridal & Prom is a retail business that serves the bridal and prom market with designer clothing and accessories at extremely attractive prices. The webpage design for this business has been using softer colors and images to reflect the nature of the business whilst maintaining an uncluttered style. An e-commerce part has the main focus on selling accessories. The website also has a calendar that lists sales events, bridal fashion exhibits as well as store opening/closing notifications.
The Adult Education website was developed as part of a proposal to a school on how to attract more students for evening classes. It showed the school how to better publish schedules and link a program to the specific course synopsis.


text: Q: VS Win32 program Menu Access keys aren't working when the program is running For some odd reason, the menu access keys appear to be working in the resource editor view but not in the actual program. For example, "&File" underlines the 'F' char in the word "File" while in the resource view but it doesn't in the program and the 'F' key does not access the Menu. I've been trying to fix this for too long so any suggestions would be much appreciated.

2017 US Spring Tour
US Spring Tour – Day: 9 One Eyed Jacks (Nola) in New Orleans, USA
by Anna / May 20, 2017
Yesterday, 19th May, LP arrived to New Orleans for her concert at One Eyed Jacks (Nola), the premiere venue in the French Quarter for touring alternative acts. It has a 400 person capacity concert room, and a full-sized stage. This club has a storied history as a funky little French Quarter theatre house. It operated for years as the Toulouse Theatre, then as an adult cinema house and then as Toulouse Street Theatre. In April 2002, One Eyed Jacks, now a mainstay of the New Orleans rock scene, was opened by local club owner, Rio Hackford.

As for New Orleans, it is well known for its distinct French and Spanish Creole architecture, as well as its cross-cultural and multilingual heritage. New Orleans is also famous for its cuisine, music (particularly as the birthplace of jazz), and its annual celebrations and festivals, most notably Mardi Gras, dating to French colonial times. The city is often referred to as the "most unique" in the United States. I think LP was really impressed by the city itself, I would love to visit it myself. It looks like there's an incredible atmosphere.

As for the concert, again very little was shared so I will jump to those few favourite comments I have read after the show and some of the pics. Joanna (@jo.ofalltrades): "Thank you @iamlpofficial for one of the best concerts I've ever experienced. What an incredibly talented musician and performer. My mind is blown and my faith in modern music is restored. Thank you". Cheyenne (@cheysherona): "Got this killer shot of @iamlpofficial at her concert tonight. This was such an amazing concert; it was transcendent. Thank you for giving me life!". Nicole (@n.taperts): "Without a doubt one of the best concerts I have EVER been to. Thank you @iamlpofficial for sharing your amazing talent with us. I am on cloud nine tonight".

LP was joined yesterday by her friend, Angela Izzo of Izzo Images, who shared few short clips via her Instagram as well as few snaps. Today LP is playing at Hangout festival in Gulf Shores (AL). This concert is not part of the US Tour. I think LP's set starts at 2.15 pm local time. I will try to cover this on the blog, though not sure how much will be shared.

Q: Need to refresh Admin page twice to load it correctly in Magento 1.8.10 I am trying to install vanilla magento 1.8.1.0 on a fresh new server, but after installation, on every admin page I go, I have to refresh the page twice to load it correctly.
When I just click on a link, only the header loads (without menubar) and the body is empty. If I refresh the page, it looks correctly. This happens sometimes on the front-end also, but happens always on the admin backend.
I have installed PHP 5.5 with OPCache on nginx on Ubuntu 13.10 server. There are no themes or plugins or any products created yet.
Any Ideas why this is happening?
Thanks,
Navneet
First click on the link -

*****Then I refresh the page to load it correctly *****

A: The problem was that php5-json module was not installed on the server. With previous version of PHP it was installed by default, but not anymore.
There is a simple fix to it -
apt-get install php5-json
Hope this helps anybody else who ran into same issues while clean installing a server with all latest releases.

His quarrel was with academics, but his message was no longer directed to Introduction them. Is a person as totally ignorant of chemistry as I am, as almost totally ignorant of physics, biology, geology as I am, any the worse for it? Someone had built a cedar log house and then covered it round with clapboard, and then someone else had added three rooms stuck along the front with more clapboard, effectually keeping all the sunlight out. See how perplexing it gets? But I hate to report him. Though there seems no reason to question Leacock's story that E. In the last decade of his life, Leacock turned to writing informal essays that blended humour with a conversational style and ripened wisdom to address the issues he cared about most - education, literature, economics, Canada and its place in the world - and to confront the joys and sorrows of his own life.
I never saw him again. The Homestead Farm, way back upon the Wabash, Or on the Yockikenny, Or somewhere up near Albany — the Charm Was not confined to one, for there were many. In an old civilization things come and go. My Education and What I Think of It Now 1944 5. This applied particularly to a nation which had grown not democratic, but parliamentary, a nation where oratory in the legislature counted for more and more, and where forensic oratory in free and open courts was one of the great highways to success and political preferment. Then Leacock explores retirement and old age and the tragedy of a second world war. In fact, we begin with a posthumously published chapter of autobiography describing his childhood as a boy brought from Introduction England to a farm in Ontario.
Till when the ending Twilight came, the loaded Wain With its last, greatest Load turned Home again. It would have been impossible without the wise counsel of David Staines, the advice of His Honour James Bartleman, the assistance of Agathe Blier, and the confidence of Barry Jowett and the staff of Dundurn Press. Nonetheless, by 1936 the crisis in his personal and professional life was coming to a head. The essays are representative of many more that could have been chosen. It is hardly credible to me now, but I know it is a fact that when my brother and I sat round a table doing our lessons or drawing and painting pictures, all the light we had was one tallow candle in the middle of the table.
We lived in an isolation unknown, in these days of radio, anywhere in the world. The book's author presents an unrivalled portrait of front-line librarianship that is based upon his unique experience and voice. Then, as the years go by, they come to realize that at a city desk and in a city apartment they never see the sunrise and the sunset, have forgotten what the sky looks like at night and where the Great Dipper is, and find nothing in the angry gusts of wind or the stifling heat of the city streets that corresponds to the wind over the empty fields. But certain things that I was reading the other day, in the English papers, brought the old school back vividly to my mind. My father was to go to Manitoba not on his own initiative — he hadn't any — but at the call of a younger brother who had gone on ahead and was already riding on the crest of the wave. He was devastated by his forced retirement from McGill in 1936, and reacted with a bitterness that embarrassed even some of his friends. Soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines face pressures and temptations that civilians will never know.
In it we saw the pictures of the Zulu War and the second Afghan War and of Majuba Hill. It was carried on in Latin. He was not wrong in arguing that the solution to economic depression lay in broad enquiry, bold action, and changing people's behaviour and outlook rather than relying only on statistics and theories, social engineering and planning. As for immigration, by the late 1930s he knew that his colonization schemes would not work, if for no other reason than that settlers in the twentieth century would not tolerate conditions he had found unbearable in the nineteenth. They knew nothing of the investigations of natural science, had no vision as to where it was leading, nothing of its application to industry, nothing of industry itself, nothing of finance — in fact, looked at in a proper focus, all that they did know was nothing as compared with the vast portentous knowledge that was rising on the horizon of a changing world. Nothing must stand in the way of the professor's right to think and teach. He was a master at varying his pace, content, rhythm, and mood to catch his audience, hold it, lift it emotionally, make it laugh, deliver punchlines, and leave a serious message.
Was he not later on assassinated in Rome? It was a plain frame building, decently lighted, with a yard and a pump and a woodpile, in fact all the accessories that went with the academic life of School Section No. There were two teachers, a man teacher and a lady teacher, and it was all plain and decent and respectable, and the education first class, away ahead of the dame-school stuff in England. At eleven years of age I could spell practically anything, knew all there was to know of simple grammar syntax, parsing, analysis beyond which there is nothing worth while anyway, knew Collier's British History and History of English Literature, all the geography of all the countries including Canada the provinces of Canada which had not been in Mother's book , and in arithmetic had grasped the unitary system and all that goes with it and learned how to juggle with vulgar fractions even when piled up like a Chinese pagoda, and with decimals let them repeat as they would. But why should a man spend his busy days in trying to sell things — which he hasn't got — and make things which he never sees? It takes an original new approach to the history of the Great War, bringing home the unimaginable horror by recreating in extraordinary detail the everyday realities of trench life. George's Church at Sibbald's Point, the church where he had first encountered Lake Simcoe as a boy.
You could be as warm as you liked, according to distance, but the place was never the same two hours running. A gentleman would not chew gum in St. Of course it could not last. The death of his wife had left him a widower, a shuffling, half-shabby figure, familiar on the street, that would have been pathetic but for his indomitable self-belief, the illumination of his mind. Leacock arrives in Ontario; he reaches Manitoba in June 1879. All day the Hay Was drawn that way Hurled in the Mow Up high — and how! Like his friend Macphail, Leacock sometimes did not seem to know what he believed and what he didn't. But languages did at least impose the discipline needed for lifelong learning.
Now it seems to be gentlemen that are going. But we do not realize its artificial and unnatural character. But naturally his main hold was politics. But it was no good; we wouldn't pay attention, we knew it was only Mother. The other odd grains we had to sell brought nothing much, nor the cattle, poor lean things of the prebreeding days that survived their awful cowshed.
I always feel that it is out of place in an autobiography to go into such details. There was, a mile away, a school School Section No. With philosophy this did not matter, but the economic collapse and the threat to the social order made it imperative that political economy find answers. Few who read these essays will not learn something new, be entertained, be frustrated, be angry, be moved, but in any case know that this is a man who has something to say, someone whose company they would enjoy. For the same reason he supported the Roosevelt New Deal, even though he believed that in the long run many of its experiments would fail. In this way one could take a birdlike flight over ancient history.
For the lake, for being on the water, most of them cared nothing. We all drank out of the same tin mug in the schoolyard. But for me the old farm life ended with my going to Upper Canada College in the beginning of the year 1882. But they were also capable of astonishing insight, great humanity, and the right instincts when these were most needed. So here then was the education that went into the rising glory of England and with the earliest beginnings of the United States. But everywhere its vegetation has been cut and trimmed and gardened by the hand of man. He was looking forward to writing a history of the Morgan Company of Montreal.

Q: Operators precedence in Java gets confusing I set a similar question a few weeks ago but I cannot still dissolve the ambiguity and the confusion on java operators precedence. This time I have this fragment of code:
int mask = 0;
int count = 0;
if( ((5<7) || (++count < 10)) | mask++ < 10 )
    mask = mask + 1;
System.out.println(mask + " " + count);

The result is (unexpectedly to me): 2  0.
Moreover, the compiler provides a warning underlining only the expression (++count<10): dead code.
I reckon however  the execution of the code though as either one of the following ways:
1) | has a higher precedence than ||, hence it is considered as there were parenthesis around the expression ( (++count<10) | mask++ <10). This way the compiler should have executed the both parts and count should have been set to 1 (++count<10).
2) If the compiler looks first the (5<7) and after evaluating it to false skips the entire second expression, then mask should not have been increased and we would wait the value 1 in the output.
What have I misunderstood and cannot explain the behavior of the compiler, as well as the output?

A: || is an OR operator that only evaluates its right hand side expression if the left hand side expression is false. In your case, 5 < 7 is true and ++count < 10 is not evaluated.
On the other hand, | always evaluates both expressions: even if ((5<7) || (++count < 10)) is true, mask++ < 10 will be evaluated.

A:
| has a higher precedence than ||, hence it is considered as there were parenthesis around the expression ((++count<10) | mask++ <10).

There is no such expression in your code. Look again. The entire expression is ( ((5<7) || (++count < 10)) | mask++ < 10 ). The || associates the constant test 5<7 with ++count < 10, which can never be executed because the constant test is always false, and the | associates all that with mask++ < 10.
There is in fact no operator precedence problem here at all, just your own misunderstanding of where you have put your parentheses.

La guerra civile seleucide del 124 - 123 a.C. fu un conflitto armato combattuto all'interno dell'impero seleucide tra il sovrano regnante, Alessandro II Zabina, che aveva usurpato il trono di Demetrio II Nicatore, e l'erede della dinastia seleucide Antioco VIII, appoggiato dalla madre Cleopatra Tea.

Antefatti

A seguito di una guerra civile, Alessandro II Zabina era riuscito a conquistare il trono seleucide sconfiggendo Demetrio II Nicatore, grazie all'aiuto del sovrano egizio Tolomeo VIII; tuttavia, la città di Tolemaide di Fenicia era rimasta ben salda nelle mani di Cleopatra Tea, moglie di Demetrio II, la quale aveva elevato a proprio co-regnante dapprima il figlio maggiore Seleuco V, da lei fatto assassinare poco dopo, e quindi il figlio minore, Antioco VIII. Il successo di Alessandro secondo portò Tolomeo VIII a vederlo come un possibile rivale e quindi decise di appoggiare Cleopatra e Antioco, i quali sfidarono l'autorità di Alessandro.

Guerra
Nel 124 a.C. ci fu uno scontro iniziale tra i due eserciti e Alessandro fu sconfitto; costretto a ritirarsi ad Antiochia, dove sembra che per ottenere denaro attinse al tesoro di un tempio, cosa che scatenò contro di lui la rivolta della popolazione. Cercò quindi rifugio a Seleucia di Pieria, dove non fu accolto, e quindi via mare andò a sud arrivando a Posideion; Alessandro II fu quindi catturato e consegnato ad Antioco VIII, che lo portò nel proprio campo e lo fece uccidere nel 123 a.C. (secondo altre fonti, invece, Alessandro commise suicidio).

Conseguenze
Antioco e Cleopatra continuarono quindi a regnare congiuntamente fino al 121 a.C., quando la regina madre morì avvelenata. Il fratellastro di Antioco VIII, Antioco IX, figlio di Cleopatra Tea e Antioco VII e mandato in esilio dalla madre in giovinezza, tornò nei territori seleucidi nel 114 a.C., scatenando una nuova guerra civile.

The Belfast Project That Students Forgot
September 21, 2014 Delphina Gerber-Williams Op-Ed, Opinions
In the past year, we have witnessed our country plummet in its Global Press Freedom Ranking, the U.S. Supreme Court refuse to step in on behalf of a Pulitzer Prize-winner facing jail time for protecting a source, and concern over Internet freedom growing. We've discussed freedom of the press, feared the NSA, and worried about all of our Facebook conversations going public. But where were we, the Boston College community, when confidentiality, protection of sources, and the integrity of academic freedom were being fought over by the U.S. Department of Justice, three senators, six congressmen, and three nations, right here on our campus?
Last May, BC announced that it would return recorded interviews from the controversial Belfast Project to its participants. This not only marked the end of a string of legal disputes involving BC, the UK, and the U.S. Department of Justice, but also the death of a groundbreaking research project.
Starting in 2001, the Belfast Project was aimed at documenting the three-decade ethno-nationalist conflict that wracked Northern Ireland from the 1960s to 1998, known as the Troubles. Organized by Executive Director of the Center for Irish Programs Thomas Hachey, then-Burns Librarian Robert O'Neill, Irish journalist Ed Moloney, and former Irish Republican Army (IRA) member and historian Anthony McIntyre, the project consisted of interviewing 46 former paramilitary fighters from both sides of the conflict. The project directors intended each interview to remain sealed until the death of the respective interviewee.
RELATED: Researchers Weigh In On Belfast Project Legal Drama
In 2010, the first interviews were published in the book Voices from the Grave, by Ed Moloney. These interviews, with former IRA leader Brendan Hughes and former Ulster Volunteer Force member David Ervine, were only made public because of their deaths in 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Shortly after, the British government contacted the U.S. Department of Justice, seeking two interviews from the project that might shed light on a murder committed during The Troubles. After deliberation, the University agreed to hand over Hughes' interviews, but kept the interviews of Dolours Price on the grounds that she was, at that point, still alive.
Eight months after the initial subpoena, the British government issued a second subpoena, now requesting all of the interviews in the BC archive that contained information about the abduction and death of Jean McConville.
The subpoenaing of the tapes threatened the project. One of the first academic endeavors to reveal new details on the Troubles through interviews with former IRA and unionist members, and the only of its scope, the Belfast tapes had the potential to shed light on the sensitive and complex problem of sectarian violence.
The possible ramifications of the subpoenas, however, ran far deeper than the tapes. Traditionally, academic research is granted higher protections from the law so that knowledge and truth can be pursued for the advancement of society. These subpoenas threatened this notion and challenged the idea that academic freedom is essential to the vitality of our society.
The subpoenaing of the tapes also threatens further research. As University Spokesman Jack Dunn told WBUR radio, reported by NPR in May, "Clearly, this could have a chilling effect on oral history projects." Without protection, researchers will face uncertainty from those who gather information from confidential sources and the sources themselves.
In defense of his own work and academic freedom, McIntyre even claimed that a researcher is actually obliged to destroy his or her material before giving it to a person who could bring it harm, according to an article by Beth McMurtrie published in The Chronicle of Higher Education in January. He also offered to take the archive into his possession in order to keep it from law enforcements, risking jail for the sake of research.
Initially on the same page as McIntyre, BC attempted to protect the files, appealing the subpoenas several times. As proceedings continued, the administration decided to distance itself "from the reckless rhetoric of Ed Moloney and Anthony McIntyre," as Dunn put it in an interview with McMurtrie for the aforementioned article.
While BC was distancing itself from McIntyre and Moloney after the second subpoena, Senators Chuck Schumer, Scott Brown, and John Kerry, along with six other congressmen, wrote to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton calling for a withdrawal of the subpoena.
And the students of BC remained silent, uninformed. When I questioned my peers about the project, I got the resounding response, "What's that?"
As academics across the nation followed the fate of these tapes this spring, where were the BC students?
It is our full-time job as students to learn, to immerse ourselves in the pursuit of knowledge. We are the next generation of researchers. And yet, there were no big conversations on campus about the project that might redefine future research. Why weren't we concerned with the questions circling our campus, the future of our own academic freedom?
Furthermore, why has BC refused to be open with its students about the project? The University never participated in a dialogue with students over the legal disputes.
The Belfast tapes case raises many questions. What degree of freedom should academic research have? How responsible are researchers and their universities in protecting interviewees who reveal sensitive information? At what point does the pursuit of justice supersede the pursuit of truth and knowledge?
I am not suggesting that the student body of BC had the ability to decide the fate of these tapes, but we should have at least known and taken part in the discussion.
Despite McIntyre's efforts, the relevant tapes were turned over. "There has been a shadow cast over this type of research," Richard English, a professor of politics at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, told The Chronicle for the aforementioned article. Many scholars, English said, have expressed apprehension about pursuing projects like this, for fear of it coming to naught. The Belfast Project is dead now—there will be "no more books, no more revelations," as McMurtrie put it in her article. And for McIntyre, "It is the single most devastating thing that ever happened to me," he told The Chronicle. "It can never be used now. It's all done for nothing."

CLI Group has numerous testing capabilities. Whether your building is an older, existing structure or new construction we offer testing which can be preventative or can reduce repair costs by properly diagnosing the defective components. Many tests which can be performed, such as specialized air quality testing are typically performed on an as-needed basis after a thorough examination of the building conditions. However, there are some tests which we would recommend on most buildings or homes for either safety reasons, energy consumption improvements or risk management. This testing would include combustion testing, air leakage and electrical safety.
Having your home or building analyzed and tested by an independent, third-party can also prevent spending thousands of dollars on repair services which may not be needed. A good example are homes having basement moisture issues. There are times when extensive excavation is needed. This can be both disruptive and expensive. However, in our 35+ years in this business, we have found that many times, such extensive and expensive services are not needed to achieve the intended result. As a homeowner, you can be making an expensive mistake if you contact a basement waterproofing company first. They will almost certainly recommend the more expensive services. Having the problem assessed by an independent expert will assure that the diagnosis and repair recommendations are coming from someone that has no financial interest in the repair. CLI Group has built a reputation of trust performing these independent assessments since 1992 and we have saved home and building owners hundred of thousands of dollars along the way.
Another area where an independent assessment can keep your hard earned dollars in your wallet is energy services. Understandably, when a home or building owner is suffering from high energy costs and/or comfort issues they will look to the typical areas where most building owners look, windows, insulation, new HVAC systems, etc. While any one of the improvements just mentioned may be needed, if your main goal is reducing energy costs the results of any one of the improvements mentioned may give disappointing results. Our independent testing and asessment services can help you in making wise decisions that can achieve the goals you have in mind.
Many homeowners may choose to perform some of the services themselves. This may include adding additional insulation, installing new windows and sealing and caulking joints in the home. CLI Group is more than happy to work with homeowners to assure that your DIY project is successful and safe. It is important to understand that any changes that are made to one system (e.g. windows, insulation) of the home will inevitably have an effect on other systems. In some cases, well intended improvements can result in dangerous consequences such as inadequate ventilation or combustion air and condensation problems.
Our services will thoroughly evaluate your home, perform the tests necessary to assure that the best choices are being made and the intended results are achieved, both economically and safely. In many cases, our testing can lead to thoudands of dollars in savings by properly diagnosing the current conditions in the building and developing a scope of work for retrofits. After all retrofits and upgrades have been completed, we can perform comparison testing which will quantify the results and estimate the cost savings from your improvements.
The reports that are issued as part of our assessments can act as a guide that you can refer to when making decisions about home or building improvements. If contractors know that the performance of their work is being measured, they will strive to assure that the intended goals are achieved.
CLI Group uses today's leading technology to diagnose your home so that when we are completed, you will have a thorough understanding of your home, where the major problems are and the cause of those problems and the most cost effective retrofit options will be discussed with you so that you will be prepared to effectively deal with contractors.


fingerfans.dreamhosters.com • View topic - The forum is dead - long live the forum!
The forum has been updated - and fixed!! HOORAY!!
You can tell by the new look and new location of this forum that something has changed.
Forum software is now upgraded to newest version! This is a very major upgrade containing security patches, better spam protection, and modern forum features for users. It's actually a brand-new installation (in fact not an upgrade), to ensure that no old code remains.
Missing posts have been restored!
New user registration works without administrator approval; hardened against spammers!
Generally friendlier security settings; in particular less restrictions placed on new users.
I was able to migrate all the content from the old forum. All the old posts are here, all included images and attachments, all users including their avatars and signatures and old passwords. Nothing should be missing!
Also, the old wiki website is still live at the direct URL http://fingerfans.dreamhosters.com/bin/view/Main/WebHome where it has always been. Until now, users would be redirected to the wiki when going to the domain http://fingerfans.dreamhosters.com/ which then links to the forum. This has now been reversed so that the domain URL shows the forum first. I still need to find a way to elegantly link to the wiki. Update: I've added links to the wiki and to our read-only copy of the original FingerWorks forum in the section Support Central.
We should consider if we even need the wiki at all; could we move the content into this forum instead, perhaps inside a new area? This would be simpler for the users (and simpler to manage, too).
Oh boy, I've been looking forward to this for more than three years and now I finally succeeded. I can't tell you how much that pleases me. It is my hope that this major update takes away all obstacles for new and existing users. Perhaps we will see a new rise in activity again, driven in part by the new multitouch hardware Apple is bringing to market.
Keep in mind that this update was only made a few hours ago, and that some administrative settings might still change, or need to be changed, for everything to run smoothly. So much has changed behind the scenes that it will take a while to see what settings provide the smoothest operation. This means that any and all feedback is very welcome!! In particular I ask for your criticism because that will help me further improve the forum!
And some unexpected ones as the tone of things was not leading to this outcome. Thanks Torben, Your efforts really mean something to me as I too shared this forum's members enthusiasm about Fingerworks contribution/spirit long before Apple snatched it.
I don't know whether it means a new life cycle is coming for we're still in need of something that Apple is not ready to give us yet. Anyway, it means that, thanks to your dedicated efforts, we'll be ready to express ourselves with the weight of an long-lived community.
Every year I search for an alternative to my TouchStream keyboards, but every year finds me still typing on the TouchStreams. I've found nothing even close. There are many TouchStreams out there so I'm hoping the community will stay alive for many more years. I'm happy knowing this forum is here in case something goes wrong, or just to hear related news.
I'm still using my TS every day at work, and I'm glad that the forum is still up and running. Thank you Torben for all the effort that you've put forth to keep us all connected.
Here's to many more years of happy TouchStreaming!
Thanks, Torben, appreciate the update!
I still use my Stenovations pad every day -- mostly as a nice big touchpad, but I really appreciate being able to type on it when I need to. I also have an iGesture pad squirrelled away for a rainy day. I should probably pass it on, but I would be in serious pain if my Stenovations pad died. I type on a regular keyboard, but all mice/trackballs kill my arm, and the iGesture etc is so much better than the old Glidepoints.
Now that multitouch is everywhere, I hope some company will pick up keyboard development.
Anyway, thanks for keepin' the faith. Spam me any time!
Hi all, just a quick note: I sincerely appreciate your responses. Really. Thank you!
Thank you, thank you, thank you again for your continuing efforts on our behalf!
Wow! Thanks for your hard work Torben. This is great! Now to change my signature.


With Christmas on its way and the avalanche of toys sure to follow, I have been casting my eye over our flat. A spacious place with lots of light but not so much on the storage front. I've always tried to be sensitive to the adult / child balance of the flats interior, the lounge being a neutral space of well designed products and a spattering of regularly used/easily hidden toys, F's room full of easy accessible toys and then there's our room. Over the last few years the bedroom has turned into a multi purpose junk room with the addition of a bed. Unframed prints stacked on the fireplace, a desk littered with letters and magazines, clothes limply hanging on the drying rack and a battered wardrobe bursting at the seams.
Rather than wait for the annual spring clean I have taken matters into hand and decided to extend the same interior styling into the bedroom, hopefully making it a place of sanctuary rather than a pit stop. I'm thinking affordable scandinavian style sliding door Pipari Wardrobes or chest of drawers as seen in the bedroom furniture from Argos, copper bedside lights, bold printed textiles, white walls, mirrors to reflect the light, a gallery of prints, a pile of good books and the occasional pot plant. The first step in this master plan is to pull everything out and organise into four piles: Sell / charity shop / keep / bin. So hopefully over the next few weeks F will go to stay with my folks and I make a start before Santa Claus comes to visit.
*This post is in association with Argos, but all words and thoughts are my own.
I've recently redecorated my bedroom and it does make a big difference to how I feel about the room. It's my little bit of sanctuary now.
my house needs de cluttering too, always accumulate way too much stuff!
Seriously though, glad you didn't, that's a great shot.
Good luck, I'm looking forward to hearing what you do.
Oh I know the feeling - I have so much junk waiting to be put into it's final position!


What do these three things have in common? Well, I'm glad you asked. It just so happens that the lovely import from the North and Maxim's Hottest Woman of 2009 are filming a new movie, The Change-Up, in Atlanta. And, they want you to be a part of it. This weekend, at Turner Field, the production needs extras…and lots of them. Extras get free parking, a free lunch and a chance at some raffle prizes. But, here's an even better reason to check it out. For every extra that attends, the production company will donate five dollars to the Atlanta Braves Foundation Charity on their behalf. Check out the details here and register here. Someone say hi to Ryan for me, eh?
Awesome. They were filming at Ecco and then in West Midtown this week. A coworker of mine stumbled onto the set trying to buy a gift card. I'm enjoying all this "Hollywood South" stuff, it's fun!
Did anyone else see the Walking Dead on AMC??
They were filming Footloose not too long ago in Acworth as well. A friend of mine stumbled upon some directional signs for the crew. Hollywood South…I like that!
Did you watch Walking Dead yet? I still haven't had time but am gonna try and fit it in this weekend.

Fuel Buckets Keep New York Data Centre Live Through The Hurricane
When Hurricane Sandy hit New York this week, a lot of big-name sites were taken down, after their ISPs were flooded or lost power. But some smaller sites remained online, despite using an ISP located in the evacuation zone, thanks to luck, planning, and sometimes a bucket brigade that carried fuel.
Huffington Post and Gawker were among the high profile casualties, after the superstorm took out power, communications and 25 percent of the mobile towers in 10 states. Peer 1 Hosting rents co-location space to a variety of smaller sites within 75 Broad Street, a high rise building in Lower Manhattan. The building had been surrounded by water, debris and wrecked cars, but the provider stayed online.
With a little help from our friends
The hero of this story is engineer Mike Mazzei of Peer 1 who, along with four other staff, had remained at the data centre since late last week when the firm began preparations for Hurricane Sandy. While Mike struggles to keep the data centre running, Peer 1's spokesman Robert Miggins takes up the story: "It's a combination of proper planning and a couple of lucky bounces that has kept us live."
There was time to prepare for the storm, so Peer 1 made sure that all of its East Coast data centres were topped up with fuel for their back-up diesel generators, and food for staff who might be staying there round the clock.
The 75 Broad Street is a long-established "telecom hotel" in which Peer 1 is just one of several tenants. The storm hit on Sunday, and the surroundings began to flood. The city's power for the area shut down, and 75 Broad Street building failed over to shared diesel generators, provided by the owners.
Flooding in the basement
The problem here was that diesel generators' fuel tanks were in the basement. The flood water reached four feet in the lobby, and the basement flooded completely with salt water. The fuel pumps failed, and all the companies in the building had to shut down as the diesel generators ground to a halt.
All except Peer 1. The company has its own diesel generator on the roof of the building, at the 17th storey level. That generator had its own "day tank" of diesel fuel, gravity fed from the 18th floor, so the host carried on.
Diesel generators can only go on as long as they have fuel, and Peer 1 knew it would run out at some stage, so it planned for a "controlled shutdown". According to Miggins, on 30 October, with only two hours of fuel left, the company offered its customers a choice: "Stay online and take a chance, run a back up, or move your data to the cloud."
Then came two of the lucky bounces: first, as water drained from the streets, some Peer 1 customers based in New York – Squarespace and Fog Creek Software – came over to manually shut down their kit.
And then, the bridges to Manhattan re-opened, allowing a diesel delivery truck to reach Broad Street. Since then, regular deliveries of diesel fuel have been possible.
So Mike Mazzei had all the diesel he needed – in barrels on the sidewalk outside the building – and a gasping diesel generator 17 floors above. There were no pumps available in the building, and no way to connect the barrels to the fuel line going upstairs.
The solution was a typical brute-force New Yorker approach. Squarespace and Fog Creek pitched in, along with Mazzei and his staff, to form a bucket chain lifing the fuel up to where it was needed. A total of 25 people continually fed the tank using five gallon buckets filled from the barrels. "People are just figuring it out together," said Miggins. "It is about perseverence and getting something done."
"We have also taken measures to cut down on fuel consumption," said Miggins. "We have shut down the CRAC and air conditioning units, and we are allowing the temperature in the data centre to rise slightly to extend the useful life of the fuel tank." Peer 1 believes it can go up to 90F without its equipment failing.
Lessons for the future
Fog Creek had access to its servers throughout the crisis
Peer 1 believes it can fuel the tank faster than the generator burns the diesel, and staff have been able to take breaks from climbing the stairs.
Meanwhile, the building owners are pumping out the basement, but it will take time: "We are now removing one foot an hour, with about 15 feet left," says the most recent post on Fog Creek's blog.
Getting a replacement pump to get fuel up to Peer 1's tank is the other task, and that's not proving easy: "Given the situation in New York City right now, we're in a wait-and-see posture," said Squarespace's blog. "Fuel- and water-pumps are in short supply."
Despite that, both customers and Peer 1 itself are optimistic they can keep running.
It's early days to learn any lessons for the future, says Miggins, but the company is likely to look for a permanent back-up fuel pump. It might do well to find ways to reduce its energy needs, so that its diesel will go further. Most data centre owners agree that data centres should not need air conditioning at this time of year in temperate conditions like New York.

Three years after the Mexican government disappeared 43 sources of hope, we as the National Indigenous Congress embody the pain, indignation, and rage that lives and will continue to live until our student compañeros of the Raul Isidro Burgos Rural Teachers College of Ayotzinapa, Guerrero, are returned. The demand to find them alive maintains us in unity with their parents and compañeros.
The student compañeros are still disappeared and the State has merely placed its bets on their being forgotten and on disdain for memory. It has wagered on destruction, and from the ruins we, men and women, will reconstruct conscience, hope, and a new world.
Our call is for the reconstruction of this country, and in order to reconstruct ourselves along with it we need the return of our student compañeros of the Raul Isidro Burgos Rural Teachers College and the thousands of disappeared for whom Mexico below searches without ceasing, reconstructing from that effort truth and justice.
We repeat our words for those who are not with us, for those who are, and for those who are yet to come. We struggle and will continue to struggle for the return of our student brothers and sisters of Ayotzinapa to the end. They were taken alive; we demand them back alive!
We convoke all those who to make up the people of Mexico, the original peoples, barrios, nations, and tribes and non-indigenous peoples from the countryside and the city, to continue the struggle to bring them home alive and punish the guilty.
We call upon everyone to participate in the marches and mobilizations convoked by the mothers and fathers of the 43 disappeared from the Isidro Burgos Rural Teachers College of Ayotzinapa, Guerrero, three years after this crime committed by the State.

An eye-opening read (which I only bought for the plane).
Everyone knows, when you're at the airport, you're allowed to buy any trashy book you want.
Because it's "for the plane."
I always have a book in my bag that I brought from home. The one I've been meaning to read. But once I get to the airport I admit to myself that that book isn't going to be any more inviting once I'm crammed into seat 22F than it would be in my living room.
So, even though there's no chance I'll read them all — or maybe even any — once I finish with Elle, Allure, Marie Claire, US, Life & Style, whatever else I haven't read at the nail salon, and (ha ha, as if) the Wall Street Journal, I load up on options. Usually:
one non-fiction book about forming new habits, changing your brain, or becoming a business titan;
some novel that's been on top of the bestseller list for 4 years and now has the "soon to be a major motion picture" cover — which depresses my husband so I have to rip it off; and,
if I spot one, please God, a celebrity-on-drugs biography.
Enter Mackenzie Phillips.
As part of my new goof-off-offline agenda, I just started reading her recently published autobiography, "High on Arrival," which I bought about 4 airplane trips ago. It's been sitting in the "meaning to read because I paid for it" pile ever since.
The book is a shocker.
The big scandal that made news when it hit the shelves was that Mackenzie had sex with her father, Papa John Phillips. But that's not so shocking. Come on, he was from the 60s. What do you expect from a guy who wears caftans and shoots up entire poppy fields in a day?
To me, the shut-yo-mouth get-outta-town surprise is that Mackenzie Phillips was hot.
Now THAT is news to me. I watched every episode of One Day at a Time and always thought of her character, Julie, as the homely sister. Barbara, played by Valerie Bertinelli, was the pretty one.
Believe me, I'm a lifelong fan of skinny. Skinny I get. But I did not get her look. She was all gums and bad bowl haircut and terrible dance moves, which you saw every episode in the show open.
It confused me to no end that Julie was constantly juggling dates and phone calls from boys, and had fights with her mother over whether she could move in with them. How was she in a position to move in with a boy, much less go for a soda with one? There was an episode called "Julie Goes All The Way." I thought, come on:
Who would want to go all the way with her? I mean, other than Schneider?
I figured the show had an all-blind writing staff or something. But it turns out Mackenzie Phillips was hot and I just couldn't tell. She had a zillion boyfriends in real life, and slept with Mick Jagger. He didn't need to have sex with any fuglies. Even when he was stoned out of his gourd.
I'm still trying to parse this information. I keep flipping open to the smooth photo pages in the middle of the book and looking at the pics from her teenage years, squinting to see the pretty. No, all I see are the gums. I still don't get it. Maybe it's like a Shelly Duvall kind of thing.
I'm not being catty. It's just screwing with my understanding of traditional beauty standards.
Now, see, this book has given me a lot to think about. So is it really that trashy?
Seriously: no, it ain't Tolstoy. But although I'm prone to book shame — especially when I'm toting around a read like this, or something with Tori Spelling on the cover, or, worse, the stock chick-lit illustration of high heels and cocktail glass — I don't consider a book true trash as long as it gives good story.
If the writing is truly awful and cliche and contains sentences like, "she was mad as a hornet when she found him cheating on her," then it's trash. In which case, I can't get through it. I keep it with the receipt to return it until the 31-day window has expired, and then I put it down in the basement for a neighbor to poke through while they're doing laundry.
But if it's a page-turner, then for me, as a writer, there's a real takeaway.
Writing doesn't have to be provocative and "literary" to be worthwhile. You'd be surprised how many books that scream "beach read for dummies on Dummy Beach" can teach you something about smart storytelling.
Got any other good, would-only-buy-it-at-the-airport reads to recommend? Please. Comment away.

Here's something I like to think about. When Pride & Prejudice first came out, it was just chicklit.
.-= Elizabeth Potts Weinstein´s last blog ..Why I'm Letting Go of Things That Make Money =-.
Laura Belgray says
Now that's a truly great point. Crazy to think it would've been on the same table with "Nanny Diaries" and the "Shopaholic" series.
alexis martin neely says
I love trash too. Reading Roses right now – People called it a Multigenerational Epic and that gets me every time. LOL. Tori Spelling another fave. LOVED Agassi's Open. Would that be considered Trash? Probably not because he's a guy and an athlete. And now I'll have to DL "High on Arrival" on the Kindle thanks to your review. I kind of figured once I knew she slept with her dad, I'd be bored by the actual book. But, perhaps not. 🙂
I grew up reading Danielle Steele & Nora Roberts novels (thanks mom for ruining my perspective on relationships) and I just can't go there anymore. But memoirs and epics I can still do.
.-= alexis martin neely´s last blog ..And now I see =-.
Oh how I love a multigenerational epic. Or "intersecting lives." Thorn Birds? Awesome. Erich Segal? Doctors? The Class?
I could never do Danielle Steele – even with the bar set at its lowest, I couldn't get past her writing. Every heroine's hazel-green eyes shone with excitement.
You may or may not enjoy High on Arrival – it's not badly written. Pretty OK, really. But I have a particular interest in it because of the sordid drug theme, which is my favorite of all themes. The part where she sleeps with Papa John is only one page.
A couple years ago "House of Hilton" gave me some great examples for how true prosperity is not always about the amount of money you are throwing around (the family didn't feel they could help support an uncle's chemo treatment, due to their own expenses with Paris and NIcky)
Oh Laura — this was true brilliant funniness…
and maybe McKenzie's hot boy dating life is a good reminder that the "beauty trap" has a lot less to do with what men think than women. Just ask Heidi Spencer — according to her, the 10 surgeries were for her inner self (as she already had Spencer)
Oh, those Hilton bitches. I think the lesson there is, true prosperity is not about how rich your family is — it's about how closely related you are and whether you're in the will.
I think I just had an "aha moment" about Heidi: she had 10 surgeries not for her inner self, and not for her outer self, but for her book deal self! She wants to write a tell-all about being a surgery addict. Duh.
Laura – so so funny! I know – when I found out Mackenzie slept with Mick Jagger, I was, like, WTF?
Boy, did I love Thornbirds — way back in another lifetime!
Does the Twilight Saga count? (Anything that has the word "saga" in it just count, right?) Because I read all 4 books in less than 2 weeks – thousands of pages that flew by – and I didn't even feel like I had to hide the covers!
You don't have to hide Twilight, because youpre "checking it out for your kid."
I do love me a saga.
I like that Schneider is included in the "family photo" at the end of the show open.
There was the "Young Woman in the Media Business Trilogy" (comprised of On The Verge, Up & Out and Bundle of Joy?) that I found to be quite compelling.
They contain no references to Papa John but were written by Papa, Ariella.
Now that trilogy isn't even a pass-it-on-when-you're-done kind of read. It's way higher: a keep-forever-on-the-shelf collectible. Cannot be mentioned in the same post with a ghostwritten celebrity bio.
Laura Scholz says
Your airport reading list is EXACTLY like mine. Airport and the pool–my two excuses for buying US Weekly and reading about Heidi's surgeries. I'll admit, I'm kind of a trashy novel slacker, so I'll look to you for some recommendations!
I read this aloud to my husband, laughing out loud with tears in my eyes. He wasn't reacting, so I stopped to check in with him and he said he couldn't picture Mackenzie Phillips, so I turned the computer screen so he could she. His response, "Yeah, she ain't all that good looking."
.-= Alma´s last blog ..I'm Dissing my List and Playing BIG =-.
Nancy K. says
I've been dying to read that book–although I will not pay money to buy it. Luckily, I saw her on Oprah, so I'm probably not missing much. The Tatum O'Neal book is my all-time fave of the celebs-on-drugs genre.
I can't believe I haven't read Tatum's book yet. They should sell the two together as a "recently relapsed and arrested" set.
Mom B says
If trash means easy, anti-intellectual reads, then I'm in, but not in the same genre as your generation. I'm sad that Robert Parker has died. He wrote well, but his books didn't exactly tax the brain, even with the literary allusions. Same with James Patterson, David Balducci and others like them. I have to confess I didn't even know who Mackenzie Phillips is/was. And Danielle Steele turns me off after one page. I guess I'll take violence over gooey, but only if it's well done.
I haven't read any James Patterson, but after reading that article about him in the NYT I now bow down to him as a god of prolificacy.
Pete says
I have the guy equivalent of your reading list. Just replace #2 with a trashy detective novel.
I choose the longest line at the market so I have time to read the trash-papers before I get to check out.
She is exquisitely homely, but then so is Jagger.

I love to write. I also love my kids, so freelancing gives me the best of both worlds.
Have I ever mentioned that I have a love for writing? If you asked me when I was 10 what I was going to do for a career, it was to write books, and potentially have my own fashion magazine where I would create the content and my friends could create the fashion.
Fast forward to my actual career and I've been fortunate to use my creativity and writing skills in many ways throughout my 18+ year work history. I've worked for a public affairs firm writing different press releases, marketing strategies and social campaigns for multiple government-contracted clients.
After my stint in public affairs, I branched out to a sales position at a title insurance company. While there I was promoted to run the sales team, marketing and educational initiatives for the company, and ultimately became Senior Vice President. Within that capacity I was able to not only lead a successful sales team, but I also put my writing skills to work where I wrote for many trade publications and designed our company's re-branding campaign.
Though I can't showcase all of them here, I do have access to some articles that I have found links to online. Remember, my career started when Google was in its infancy, so print media is a tad harder to find. I used to carry around a binder with all my work, but that got old real quick, and for a considerable amount of time, keeping a portfolio was not a priority.
If you're just visiting my site for the first time, please take a peek at some of my archived articles I've personally written for my blog and then pop on to these sites below to view my work elsewhere on the Internet.

King's Lynn man admits theft from B&M

Published: 9:07 AM October 2, 2020 Updated: 7:16 PM November 22, 2020
A man has admitted theft of sound equipment from B&M in King's Lynn Picture: Google - Credit: Archant
A man was in court barely 24 hours after being arrested for stealing sound equipment from a store.
Tony Archer, 44, of Minster Court, King's Lynn, was charged with theft after an incident at the B&M Stores off Hardwick Road in Lynn on Monday.
On Tuesday, Archer admitted the offence when he appeared before Norwich Magistrates' Court and was given an eight week suspended prison sentence.
A 49-year-old man from King's Lynn, who has also been charged with theft, has been bailed to appear in court on January 28.
