Edmund White
City Boy
Edmund White
City Boy
My Life in New York During the 1960s and '70s
Release Date: 9/28/2010
LIST PRICE: $16.00 (you save $4.80)
Groundbreaking literary icon Edmund White reflects on his remarkable life in New York in an era when the city was economically devastated but incandescent with art and ideas. White struggles to gain literary recognition, witnesses the rise of the gay rights movement, and has memorable encounters with luminaries from Elizabeth Bishop to William Burroughs, Susan Sontag to Jasper Johns. Recording his ambitions and desires, recalling lovers and literary heroes, White displays the wit, candor, and generosity that have defined his unique voice over the decades.
"[A] moving chronicle…that peacock's tail, those stag's antlers—they're here, to be sure, but so are vulnerability, doubt, failure and long years toiling at the sort of cruddy day jobs that most literary writers know all too well…In City Boy, White is amusing and raucous as ever but he also lets the mask slip…his losses and struggles, as consequence, seems less sculpted, but more real….City Boy, plain-spoken and knowing, is a survivor's tale, a missive from one of those antlered boys of that era to the others who are gone: this is who we were, this is how it was, this was our city. Some stories don't need to be embellished to glow."—New York Times Book Review
"City Boy is Mr. White's second memoir in three years, and a great deal of his fiction (notably the novel ''A Boy's Own Story'') has been autobiographical. You get the sense of a writer slowly peeling his life like an artichoke, letting only a few stray leaves go at a time…this one is salty and buttery, for sure. Mr. White's ''Oh, come on, guys'' meekness has vanished into thin air."—New York Times
"Novelist and critic White weaves erotic encounters and long-ago literati into a vast tapestry of Manhattan memories… How he overcame setbacks and confronted his insecurities to eventually write 23 books makes for fascinating reading…White writes with a simple, fluid style, and beneath his patina of pain, a refreshing honesty emerges. This is a brilliant recreation of an era, rich in revels, revolutions and 'leather boys leading the human tidal wave.'"—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"A colorfully detailed remembrance…with his novelist's brilliance in turns of phrase in evoking these places, [White] also recalls the many celebrated writers he encountered over the years in his slow climb to writerly success. A special invitation to a world gone by."—Booklist (starred review)
"A graceful memoir of a decidedly ungraceful time in the life of New York City…. A welcome portrait of a time and place long past, and much yearned for."—Kirkus
"[White] retained a keen appreciation for the varieties of affection, which is gracefully displayed here. Lively sketches of James Merrill, Susan Sontag, Robert Mapplethorpe, and others are occasionally sharp as well as fond, but White's candor extends equally to his own doubts and failures."—New Yorker
"So witty, so insightful, so bristling with gossip, that one almost fails to notice that it is an essential chronicle of a revolution in many ways no less important than the fall of Communism: the gay liberation movement, in which White was both an actor and a privileged spectator…In one of his many discourses on friends famous -- Jasper Johns, Peggy Guggenheim, James Merrill -- and otherwise, White described a now-forgotten novelist's book as lacking ""that key, embarrassing literary quality no one knows how to discuss: charm."" City Boy is full of it, even when discussing weighty topics."—Harpers
"The oral histories of Edmund White—who relives his decades-old glory days as a hobbing, nobbing City Boy."—Vanity Fair
"As someone who lived through the period and knew most of the people Ed White writes about, I was delighted to read his new book, City Boy. The charm and candor of his work has never been more apparent. I finished City Boy wanting still more—which is a rare reading experience."—Martin Duberman, author of Waiting to Land
"Since White is a born raconteur, his gimlet-eyed anecdotes about celebrities of the era are as tangy as blood orange sorbet served after lobster Thermidor… [he] matches his talent for journalism with brilliant imagistic prose."—Gay City News
"In his 23 books, novelist and literary critic White has become one of the premier chroniclers of New York City intellectual life and the gay world…White unabashedly turns the pen on himself and the dozens of writers and artists he met in his years coming of age as a gay man in New York."—NY Post
"Edmund White's writing of the past quarter-century adds up to a story of inner life repressed and then bursting forth into full expressive flower, as well as a neat encapsulation of the history of gay subculture…He's eloquent on the horrific psychic cost of closeted gay identity, pre-Stonewall."—Washington Post
"[White] is a more highbrow Augusten Burroughs; a more sedate and scholarly David Sedaris…[City Boy] is an exquisitely written, devilishly detailed account of White's life in the City."—Huffington Post
"[An] exuberant, thoughtful memoir… White's affectionate yet candid portraits of literary celebrities Richard Howard, Harold Brodkey and Susan Sontag celebrate those friendships, with the eminences coming across as quite distinct from their forbidding pubic personas, even lovable…Sparkling cameo appearances by the likes of Truman Capote, Robert Mapplethorpe and Fran Lebowitz expand the feeling that artistic Manhattan then was a very different place than it is today. All fun aside, the gadabout boulevardier at some point had to take a back seat to the fiercely ambitious emerging writer. White's vivid analysis of his artistic struggles and literary progress during these years is like a master class for other writers…. White's memoir…has charm to burn."—Shelf Awareness
"Decades before Times Square looked like a trailer park filled with tourists in lawn chairs and real estate prices hit the stratosphere, New York was seedy and dangerous. But for a young gay man from the Midwest, it was also a refuge, full of possibility and excitement, where strangers became lovers with one furtive glance, as Edmund White evokes in his fascinating historical memoir City Boy: My Life in New York During the 1960s and '70s…like his novels, the portrait he paints is unflinching."—Modern Tonic
"CITY BOY is an amazing memoir of White's hunger for literary fame — for publication even — and intellectual esteem in the superheated creative world of '60s and '70s New York. His sketches of writers and artists, including everyone from poets James Merrill and John Ashbery to artist Robert Wilson and editor Robert Gottlieb, are full of bon mots, sharply observed details, and great honesty about his own desires for love and esteem. CITY BOY vividly brings to life the sheer squalor of life in 1970s New York …A wonderful raconteur with a well-stocked fund of anecdotes and observations, White's writings reveal much about alliances, alignments, and personalities from a van

Trace the causes and debates that led to the Spanish-American War, including "yellow journalism" press coverage, President McKinley's declaration of war, and sentiments about imperialism. In this interactive lesson from WGBH, students develop a written argument in response to the question "Was the U.S. justified in going to war with Spain in 1898?" They gather evidence from videos featuring historian Ben Weber and from primary source documents, images, and cartoons. This resource is part of the Writing in U.S. History collection, the Calderwood Writing Course: U.S. History.

Many Voices, Many Visions "North American Family Institute/HLAA"
July 2, 2017 —
This week on the show, helping vulnerable children receive the care they need in loving foster homes. The North American Family Institute recently opened an office in Rochester and offers what's known as "Theraputic Foster Care Wraparound Services." Plus, not long ago on this show we featured open captioning at JCC Centerstage and GEVA Theatre. While doing that I learned about the Hearing Loss Association of America Rochester chapter and the work they do to help people with hearing loss in our community. From advocating for legislation that would help those with hearing loss to clarifying myths about people with hearing loss—the group is active and engaged.

Rugged Ridge® is a division of Omix-Ada Inc., the world's largest independent manufacturer of Jeep parts and accessories. The people at Omix-Ada are Jeep enthusiasts just like you, and use their Jeeps in real world situations, including commuting as well as aggressive 4-wheeling off-road. Through their collective experience, they realized that there was a need for specialized accessories for Jeeps that would improve their capability, appearance, and everyday functionality. To fill that need the Rugged Ridge brand was established in 2005.
As a part of Omix-Ada, Rugged Ridge had impeccable credentials to start with, but the products they have developed over the years have only improved their pedigree. To date Rugged Ridge has designed and manufactured over 3000 products for the Jeep market and they continue to develop hundreds of additional Jeep accessories each year. Many of the recently developed parts are patented, like the Jeep floor liners, Jeep snorkel and Jeep XHD modular bumpers. You can count on Rugged Ridge for true and proven Jeep parts and accessories.
The Jeep is the original off-road adventure vehicle, and most Rugged Ridge accessories are designed to improve your suspension, protect you and your vehicle, and make sure you can handle any obstacle out on the trail and make it back. Parts like lift kits, bumpers and brush guards, fender flares, skid plates, winches and lights are all designed and engineered to make your Jeep more capable no matter where you drive. And because Rugged Ridge knows that it's just as important to look the part, every accessory is also created with an eye toward enhancing your Jeep's rugged appearance, so you look good regardless of whether you're exploring the forest or the boulevard.
Besides wheeling off-road, Rugged Ridge knows most of you love your Jeeps so much that you also use them for commuting, running to the store, and everyday driving. That's why they've also developed a host of products that make your Jeep more livable and enjoyable on a day-to-day basis. For example, many models like CJs and Wranglers are "storage space challenged", so Rugged Ridge created clever cargo carrying solutions like an overhead storage console, dash organizer, rear seat organizer, and numerous roll bar mounted holders for drinks, flashlights, and fire extinguishers. And Rugged Ridge also has a full line of interior trim parts, so you can personalize your driving space.
The folks at Rugged Ridge are just as passionate about Jeeps as you are, and they wouldn't sell anything to you that they wouldn't install on their own Jeeps. That's why every Rugged Ridge part is designed, tested, fitted, manufactured, and tested again to make sure it's perfected before it goes to you.

You are right about that, it is from 2014, not sure why it popped on my news feed. However, i did a search of his name and couldn't find anything on the forums.
Read at bottom of your Wiki link.
The case was dismissed.

The case has been dismissed.
While still not an admission of guilt, by your logic, anyone who has had their case dismissed or found "not guilty" is innocent, right? The Judicial system isn't bulletproof and we all know that a lawyer's job is to defend both the innocent and the guilty, sometimes finding a way for the most vile creatures on Earth to be exonerated. Dismissed in court, yes, but your dismissive attitude towards that fact that many criminals, especially those with money and influence, do find ways to escape punishment is telling.

Yeah I dont think it has anything to do with left and right. Just sick and sicker.
It was dismissed.

So that means anything dismissed against Trump has to mean he is innocent by your logic.
Thanks for your support!!
It works both ways

Any comments on the actual story itself? Or are you simply trying to nickpick the name of the article that USAToday chose?... If you want to know why they chose that title, perhaps you should ask them.

Undisclosed U.S. city to host GM self-driving vehicle tests:
Self-driving Chevrolet Bolt EV taxis could be on American roads within a year. General Motors and ride service Lyft will begin testing self-driving technology developed by Cruise Automation Inc., which GM plans to buy for $1 billion. GM declined to confirm the report in the Wall Street Journal, but did say it "continues to make progress" on its goal to build an "integrated on-demand autonomous network" with Lyft, in which it invested $500 million in January. "Similarly, we have said the Bolt is the ideal platform for ride-sharing solutions . . . we believe electrification blends perfectly with autonomy when it comes to technology integration." A host city for the tests was not disclosed.
In terms of overall environmental impact, the Nissan Leaf electric is better than the best gasoline car by 47 percent:
A study by the Automotive Science Group released in April found the all-electric Nissan Leaf to be the least environmentally impactful vehicle on the planet, for the third consecutive year. The study, which looked beyond just miles per gallon to projecting a model's emissions from pre-production to the end of its life cycle, said the Leaf beat the Honda Fit -- the study's most economical gasoline car -- by 47 percent in lifecycle emissions, said automotive lifestyle Web site Autos Cheat Sheet. Where the Leaf topped the list, the Fit ranked highest of all gasoline-powered cars, at No. 22, as regards greenhouse-gas emissions and gross energy requirements.
Prius wins nods for crash safety:
Toyota's fourth-generation Prius hybrid has won safety kudos from both the federal government and insurance industry lobby group, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The 2016 Prius, which earns the best fuel-economy rating for the United States among all models without electric charging capability (58 mpg in the city and 53 highway) recently won a five-star rating in the federal New Car Assessment Program, and a place on the IIHS's Top Safety Pick Plus list. In IIHS testing, the Prius achieved "good" results -- the top rating -- in every category, and nearly every sub-category. The federal tests gave it four out of five stars in the frontal crash category, but just two out of five stars in the side-collision test.
State budget includes EV rebates:
New York State recently added budget provisions for an electric car incentive program, joining a growing list of states to adopt incentives as a means to accelerate electric-vehicle adoption. Legislation was passed for the 2016-'17 fiscal year that includes electric-car incentives, The National Resources Defense Council said in an Internet post. It will offer rebates to buyers of battery-electric cars, plug-in hybrids and hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles, with a maximum rebate of $2,000. New York State joins Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts and Rhode Island as states offering electric-vehicle incentives. Meanwhile, the state of Minnesota is considering electric-car incentives of its own. One bill proposed would enact $2,500 purchase rebates on new battery-electric cars and $1,500 for new plug-in hybrids.
Insufficient infrastructure leads sharing service to switch from electrics:
A lack of charging infrastructure in and around the California city of San Diego has prompted car sharing service Car2Go to withdraw its fleet of Smart ForTwo Electric Drive city cars, replacing them with gasoline models. Car2Go, owned by Smart parent company Daimler, made San Diego the only city in North America with an all-electric fleet when it began operations there five years ago, notes alternative-vehicle Web site Green Car Reports. That decision was based on an assumption that San Diego's charging infrastructure would grow more rapidly than it did. "With the currently available infrastructure, range anxiety remains common among customers," Car2Go said. The switch to gas cars was to have been complete by June.
Shift points
-- Compared to other electric vehicles on the market, Tesla Motors dominated the March sales charts, says InsideEVs.com, moving 3,900 Model S and 1,950 Model X vehicles. The next-best selling EV was the Chevrolet Volt with 1,865 sales and Nissan Leaf, 1,246 sales.
-- March marked the fifth consecutive month in the United States that electric vehicle sales broke records, according to InsideEVs, a Web site devoted to electric vehicles. An estimated 13,735 plug-ins were sold in March, marking a 32.7 percent increase over a year ago.
-- Battery electrics have won a slight edge over hydrogen fuel cells in the race to develop vehicles that are more environmentally benign, says Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche. "Batteries have become more attractive in recent years," he told a German newspaper. "It has become more likely that they could prevail."

Norrie and Laura's visit to a Monbazillac vineyard
"We visited this Vineyard at Monbazillac
in September and spent two nights there. The owners do not
speak English, however they were incredibly friendly
and helpful nevertheless. Lots of pointing and gestures.
The pitches are terraced and generally level with
superb views over the vineyard and when we visited
there were another 5 vans well spaced. There are picnic
tables at each pitch and the owner provides levelling
blocks if required. Water is available as is toilet
emptying facility. Its about 8 km from Bergerac and
well signed. It was the start of our tour of the Dordogne
and we were sad to leave."
Norrie and Laura Bradshaw
Phil & Denise's experience
"From mid-August to mid-October we travelled around France and Southern Europe we stayed on many France Passion locations a total of 14 nights and had a wonderful time, the hospitality at times was so good it was embarrassing for us as strangers to be so warmly welcomed, we had nothing but positive experiences and met some very charismatic people from all walks of life. if you're as polite as your hosts you will have no problems, my tip is when in France never ever ask "Parlez-vous anglais" no matter how bad your French may be have a go, help is at hand and you will have a much better experience."
Phil & Denise Dougan

New Job To Do ListIn Just Starting By stacymorgan
You aced the interview and sealed the salary deal, but it's not all smooth sailing from here. Starting a new job means checking these unglamorous tasks off your new job to-do list.
Before You Begin:
Dress For Success – Put together enough outfits for your first week of work. You need to be especially conservative in the beginning while you decode the dress code, but keep comfort in mind too – this is no time to break in those new heels.
Conquer The Commute – If possible, do a practice run of your new commute on a weekday morning at the time you'll be heading in. "I had no idea I-95 is so crazy in the morning!" is no excuse for being late on day one.
Assemble Your Arsenal – Your company will supply you with a rash of cubicle goodies like pens, staplers, etc, but be prepared with a few supplies of your own. A pen and pad for scribbling notes during the introductory phase are good starters.
Day One…
Introductions All Around – Make sure to ask for introductions to key players at work. Keep a list of names and associated departments, and highlight the ones it would be really, really embarrassing to forget (your boss, their boss, owner of the company, CEO, etc). Your homework this week is to study that list.
Learn To Navigate – Until they release building specific GPS, this one goes on the to-do list. You'll need to know departments like HR, accounting and purchasing, shipping and receiving, the supply closet for when the pen thief strikes your desk, the bosses offices, and the location of all conference rooms for when you're thrown into a meeting. And of course that oh so important locale, the restrooms.
Take Notes – Write down everything, and make sure reviewing it is on your to-do list as well. Compile a list of responsibilities and section them off into morning to-do list, mid-day to-do list, and end of day to-do list.
Socialize with Co-Workers – Finally, something fun on your to-do list. Getting to know your new peers at work is important not only because it helps you to assimilate into "the crew", but also because they hold information that is vital to your success. Co-workers can (and will!) tell you that the boss hates to be spoken to before their morning coffee and that the fish sandwich at the deli on the corner is guaranteed food poisoning. Very important information.
Starting a new job can be an overwhelming experience, particularly if this is your first foray into the "real" world. Checking these tasks off your new job to-do list will make the transition from newbie to established worker a much smoother process.

Waiting For Columbus (reissue) – Little Feat
Rhino Records 78274
Some great artists are long gone by the time they're appreciated.
Fortunately for Little Feat, in recent years, there's been a great boom in
interest in their music, thanks in part to kudos from some luminaries on the
jamband scene and an association with the popular Phil Lesh and Friends. So,
with the recent upswing in the band's standing in the public and critical
eye, what better time than now to re-release Waiting For Columbus,
already regarded as one of the best live albums in the rock canon?
While Little Feat's music may have been an afterthought to most younger
jamband fans, that probably has changed in recent years. moe.'s Rob Derhak
credited late Featster Lowell George as the influence for "Stranger Than
Fiction" in the liner notes of their Tin Cans and Car Tires album. In
1998, Phish broke out its version of the Feat's "Time Loves a Hero" in front
of a packed house in Pittsburgh. Little Feat returned the favor with a
unique cover of Phish's "Sample in A Jar" on their Chinese Work Songs
album (their newest studio work), and the group won over more fans when
guitarist Paul Barrere and Bill Payne became members of Phil Lesh and
Friends for a summer 2000 tour.
One listen to Columbus shows that Feat has been an enormous influence
on the above-mentioned bands and beyond. And the sonic quality of the record
is just breathtaking.
After an a capella "Join the Band" – recorded by Warren Dewey as the
band walked from the dressing room to the stage – George's cowbell intro to
"Fatman in the Bathtub" sounds like it's in your room. It's amazing this was
recorded in 1978. "Fatman" is a soaring funk-rock epic, with airtight vocal
harmonies from Payne, Barrere and George, fabulous guitar interplay between
George and Barrere and crystal clear piano and synthesizer work from Payne.
Payne's "O Atlanta" is one of the two-disc set's highlight, vocally and
musically. The thump-thump rhythm of the chorus combined with the infectious
vocals dare the listener to stay seated, probably just like it did at the
Lisner Auditorium in Washington, DC. that night. The hit "Dixie Chicken"
follows with a long, rollicking piano solo by Payne. Interestingly, Payne
says in the new, extended liner notes the solo was originally longer – too
long, he felt – so he edited it. That's too bad. Other highlights on the
first disc are "Tripe Face Boogie" and George's "Mercenary Territory".
Disc two continues with five more tracks from the original release,
including red-hot versions of "A Apolitical Blues" and "Sailin' Shoes", as
well as "Don't Bogart that Joint" (which, in addition to "Fat Man in the
Bathtub" and "Dixie Chicken", was part of the O00 Phil and Friends
Some re-releases are just money-making schemes in which the record label
dresses up the original recording with a handful of throwaway bonus tracks
and photos. Not so with the Columbus reissue. On the second disc,
seven previously unreleased live tracks, including "Skin it Back" are
featured, showing that the Feat could've released a three-LP live set in
1978 without any track suffering as the collection went deeper. Three songs – including another version of "Skin It Back" – finish the album. These
three are outtakes that were previously released on "Hoy Hoy".
While Barrere, George and Payne are still regarded as the primary movers and
shakers behind this classic Feat lineup, drummer Richie Hayward, bassist
Kenny Gradney, percussionist Sam Clayton and the Tower of Power Horn Section
deserve credit for adding some spice to this delectable Southern stew.
It's also worth mentioning the liner notes include the original writings as
well as a brand-new 14-page essay by Bud Scoppa with archival photos. The
real treat of Scoppa's essay, though, are the new interviews with band
members and engineers that now are able to look back at the project with a
more mature and balanced perspective. The insight band members give into the
groups contentious relationship – "We just didn't trust each other," Payne
says about the ensuing successful Waiting For Columbus tour – is
candid, revealing, and compelling to long-time Feat fans as well as the
newly initiated.
The same can be said for this re-issue in general. It's a great addition to
the collection of the seasoned Feat fanatic and the perfect jumping-off
point for the unfamiliar. Get this album.

[IMGCAP(1)]Some major leadership changes rocked the tech world this past month. Larry Ellison's September announcement that he was stepping down as the CEO of Oracle felt like the final in a series of bows from the industry's prominent early founders.
NetSuite CEO Zach Nelson said as much, telling the New York Times: "By a lot of definitions, it's the end of an era. He is the longest-tenured founder and CEO in the Valley."
After this transition from the head of the pioneering company he founded in 1977 to executive chairman and chief technology officer, Ellison has more than a decade on the longest currently active tech CEO (Robert Kotick at Activision Blizzard), according to Bloomberg.
On the other end of the spectrum, and just before Ellison's big move, Peter Karpas stepped down as Xero's CEO of North America after just six months with the company.
"Peter Karpas has voluntarily stepped down as Xero's head of North America," Xero told me in a statement. "Ross Jenkins, Xero's CFO, will lead Xero's operations in the U.S. until Xero appoints a new leader. We are grateful to Peter for his work and recognize his contributions in helping Xero become the fastest growing cloud accounting company across the globe. In his time at Xero, Peter helped establish strong foundations for Xero in the U.S. market and we look forward to his continued success."
Xero also noted it has begun recruiting for the next North American lead, with the selection to be announced in the coming months. That process would also seem to delay any plans of a U.S. initial public offering, which Karpas spoke to me about in July.
Where Ellison's announcement was inevitable if a bit earlier than expected—and, as a founder, still keeps him close to the source of his vast personal fortune—Karpas' exit is more emblematic of the current state of the industry.
The demand for talent is so high that companies have not only stepped up their recruitment and training efforts, but some have allegedly colluded in wage-fixing, according to Department of Justice and class-action settlements earlier this year. Named in the complaint and lawsuit were Apple, Google, Intel, Adobe, Intuit and Pixar, with the class of 60,000 tech employees citing emails between late Apple CEO Steve Jobs and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt regarding a pact not to recruit each other's staff. While the companies admitted to having no-hire agreements, they denied these were in place to depress salaries.
The competition has only amplified for experienced talent to occupy the current tech bubble, recently expanded by the busiest year in IPOs since the bubble last burst in 2000, according to Reuters, and led by Chinese e-commerce group Alibaba's massive U.S. market debut.
That struggle is felt in the accounting reseller community, with many top executives responding to our 2014 VAR 100 survey that attracting and retaining talent remained their biggest challenge. It has also been long-apparent in the larger accounting community, as Baby Boomer leaders prepares to retire. And while the accounting profession's need for experienced leaders is more due to the aging of long-serving partners, their sobering lessons in succession planning are equally applicable for the tech sector.
From one perspective, the wealth of new leadership can be viewed as invigorating—Jon Roskill, appointed as Acumatica CEO in April, was energized when recently telling me his plans to grow the relatively youthful ERP provider. As he and his team kept touting transparency throughout their partner summit, he even explicitly addressed the competition—namely Sage. Acumatica had quite literally treaded on the accounting software provider's turf during this year's Sage Summit, handing out coffee to attendees on their way to conference sessions.
During his keynote, Roskill displayed a bill for $10,000 Sage reportedly gave Acumatica for infringing on its non-compete clause with Mandalay Bay, where the conference was held. Similar stunts by vendors to lure VARs from the competition have been mounted in the past, and Roskill was proud to showcase the consequences of theirs.
Still, the larger war wages on. While the top tech providers are as enthusiastic as ever to promote their solutions to customers more rapidly adopting the cloud, the cloud is a big place.
Before Roskill joined Acumatica, he was with Microsoft. Karpas had come to Xero an Intuit veteran. And NetSuite CEO Zach Nelson could speak so well to Ellison's role because he previously served under him.
It seems unlikely there will be another Larry Ellison, based on his early impact and sheer tenure, but competition has never made anyone complacent—especially companies with the explicit mission of continually perfecting their next generation.

Quote:Quinky Kin
I think he's been a very good signing - seems to get better each game and puts in a decent shift most of the time. Funny how some people were quite dismissive when we signed him.
Cannot believe how dismissive everyone is about Glynn. If you were backed into a Harlequins coloured corner who would you prefer? Dr Roberts or Ben Glynn?
" We initially signed him for ONE YEAR, but we've been extremely impressed with his progression and we're thrilled he's extended his deal at Harlequins."
That suggests he's staying next season, although this is yet another statement of secretive duration.

When this issue initially came out, I thought it not too important to do a review as the story is really quite bad.
We start with Spider-Man, beating Cloak and Dagger, then Daredevil, then gravity, Iron Fist, Power Man, Sun Girls, Moon Knight, Doctor Strange, and a bunch of others. As I mentioned, the actual plot line is not very deep.
Captain America gathers the Avengers to stop this atrocity! After battling it out with Spider-Man, the Avengers have him captured and questioned. At this, Spider-Man explains how he has been tracking a virus that has been jumping from hero to hero all day. Spider-Man's words soon prove to be true when Hyperion, a powerful bloke from another Universe, reveals himself to be infected with the virus ( not very clever)
The Avengers then begin an all out attack on Hyperion. Spider-Man explains how he had a weapon designed to destroy the virus.
Ms Marvel, Hulk, and Thor take turns at Hyperion, eventually bringing him down, giving Spider-Man enough time to blast Hyperion with his special gun. The virus leaves Hyperion and he returns to his normal mental state.
Apart from the art, this was a horribly boring issue. There was no real team up in this issue. Spider-Man pretty much ran the whole show by himself, or could have if the Avengers had not interfered.
This issue highlights three important points:
1) The Avengers now trust Spider-Man, despite his maniac ways
2) The Superior Spider-Man is building his own team, with his captured former Sinister Six friends ( shown in the last few panels)
3) Jackal was behind the virus, and will be coming to get Spider-Man in the next issue.
Having said that this was a rather boring, issue, I will highlight a little more on the fantastic art. Spider-Man's new suit is drawn very nicely here, much better than I have seen in Superior Spider-Man. It has some similarity to Ben Reilly's Spider-Man suit, with a darker feel, yet maintaining the same Spider-Man theme.
See below
The only thing I didn't quite like about the art is that it carried some slight Anime/ Manga feel as can be seen below.

Whidbey island plein air | july 16-19, 2018
During this comprehensive landscape class both plein air and studio painting will be thoroughly discussed. Often work created in the studio can lack the energy of paintings created outdoors from direct observation. TJ will give daily plein air demonstrations and individual attention to each student over this four-day workshop. We will spend our time outdoors painting Whidbey Island landscape, barns, buildings, boats and more.
bozeman, montana plein air | july 9-12 2018
The city of Bozeman is surrounded by six mountain ranges and lots of wildlife – the northern entrance to Yellowstone National Park is just a little over an hour south.
TJ Cunningham will begin each day with a demonstration as he talks his way through his painting process. This will give attendees clear instruction in simplifying the landscape in an expressive way. Paint quality, value pattern, and abstraction will all be discussed as valuable tools when used in landscape painting. Following the demonstration, students will be free to choose a scene that interests them and spend the rest of the day painting while TJ teaches one on one.
washington dc plein air | September 21-24, 2018
The focus of this workshop is learning to see reflected light and color in landscape painting. Working from life, TJ Cunningham will demonstrate his process during daily demonstrations and then assist attendees as they complete their own paintings. This focused, four day workshop will be conducted outdoors at various wooded sites in the Broadlands neighborhood of Ashburn, VA. We will locate close to amenities and parking. All levels of experience are welcome. Composition, drawing, and basic value and color distribution will all be discussed.

Sierra Leone has experienced a dramatic fall in the number of Ebola cases in the nation over the past month, prompting the government to reopen schools and attempt to return civilians to normal daily life. Much has changed in the past year due to the outbreak, including the population of stray dogs, which has doubled to an estimated half a million.
Many stray dogs were pets of Ebola victims and abandoned, as neighbors feared contracting the disease from the dog. Dogs living freely on the streets are at the risk of contracting rabies and passing it on by attacking, triggering fears that an entirely new health threat is growing in Sierra Leone.
Voice of America interviewed veterinarians in Freetown, the nation's capital, who fear that the growing dog population will create yet another outbreak, or at least make the streets of Freetown much more dangerous to tread. Dr. Gudosh Jalloh explains that veterinarians in the nation have not had access to rabies vaccines in months, as they depend on imports to receive them, and shipments stopped in light of the Ebola virus. The solution now, he says, is to "to do humane dog population control, which will include vaccination, sterilization and, when necessary, humane culling."
Voice of America notes that rabies was already "endemic" in Sierra Leone and the nation previously had one of Africa's largest populations of stray dogs. According to Jalloh, that population has now doubled to 500,000, many of them house pets forced to live in the streets after their families died or abandoned them, fearing Ebola contagion. "People started to stigmatize their dog, abandon them, not looking after them, we had some communities where people were really being cruel to the animal, to the dogs," Jalloh explained.
The article adds that, while many see stray dogs as a threat, they have become part of the social fabric of Freetown and even serve to deter crime. Says Mabinty Kamara of the Freetown City Council: "These animals are very useful to us, at night we have thieves coming around and dogs will bark at them, so they will be scared," Kamara said. "So it is very important for us to take care of these animals."
No statistics have surfaced regarding how many of these dogs may carry rabies, or how many have infected residents of Freetown in the aftermath of the Ebola outbreak. However, estimates suggest 160 people a day die of rabies worldwide, most in India and Africa. 59,000 die a year of the disease, and most cases of rabies are fatal.
As for Ebola, despite fears that the dogs may be carrying their late owners's disease, the US Center for Disease Control notes that there have yet to be any recorded instances of dogs transmitting Ebola to humans. "There is limited evidence that dogs become infected with Ebola virus, but there is no evidence they develop disease," the CDC concludes.
This did not stop officials in the United States from quarantining Bentley, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel of Texas nurse Nina Pham, who was diagnosed with and survived Ebola. Bentley was quarantined as a precautionary measure and eventually tested negative for Ebola and was reunited with his owner.
Excalibur, the mixed breed dog of Spanish nurse Teresa Romero, did not survive concerns that he may have carried Ebola. While Spanish medical officials provided no evidence publicly that Excalibur was a threat, he was put to death almost immediately after his owner tested positive for the disease despite an extensive online campaign to save him. Romero is suing the government for $373,000 in damages in response to his death.
The struggle to contain Sierra Leone's dog population is one of a number of signs that the outbreak's strangehold on life in the west African nation is loosening. The nation's schools officially reopened on April 14 following a nine-month closing, the last of the three most-affected nations to do so. Traditional herbalists, largely blamed for the spread of Ebola by encouraging the kidnapping of the ill from hospitals to be treated with herbal cures, are demanding renewed participation in the fight against Ebola. "We the traditional healers and secret members want to be totally involved in the fight against Ebola as such," said healer Babah Kanu at a meeting of herbalists this week. Such brazen demands to be included in a medical fight they posed a barrier to would have been unheard of months ago.
Sierra Leone has lost 12,201 people to Ebola.

Reminded me of a book by same name by Kay hooper ! Her Evil series is one of my fav :)ReplyDelete
Thank you for your lovely comment on my review and becoming a new follower. ^.^
As for tips? Well, I've been designing websites for years and something I've always hated is flashing and moving objects all over the site - so try to keep away from them.
If you've got a busy background image, keep your header image slightly more simple, and vise versa! :)
Colour co-ordinating schemes are always a plus, choose a colour or image, and work around it. Go a few shades lighter or darker than your main colour for variation. (:
Lastly, make sure your font is clear and easy to read! Swirly fonts are lovely, but if it makes it harder to read the text, then people will be turned off. :)
Happy Reading!
Tiffa @ The British Book Nerd

NEW YORK -- In the latest chapter of the Maryland gambling fights, it's casino vs. casino.
A group called "Get the Facts Vote No on 7" will air an advertisement on television this weekend that argues against Question 7, Gov. Martin O'Malley's (D) ballot initiative that would allow table games at Maryland casinos and enable the creation of a new casino in Prince George's County. The ad joins a deluge of others, as part of what a local television station is calling "the most expensive political battle in Md. history."
The ad features a bespectacled woman standing in front of a bookshelf, citing her 33 years of teaching experience in Maryland. "I do not support Question 7, because I don't think the money will ever get to the classroom," she says. "I've heard these promises several times before, and I have seen no changes in the classroom." She says she feels like "politicians are trying to dupe us again."
The group is also releasing a second teacher-related ad. This time a former teacher from Mitchellville, Md. voices her opposition to the measure, saying, "I do not believe that money from the casinos are going to get to the classroom." She goes on to say, "We have been promised and promised and promised. Politicians are not very good at keeping promises."
(WATCH the ad below)
While O'Malley and groups sponsored by gambling group MGM have asserted that the millions of dollars netted by the expansion would benefit schools, both the Baltimore Sun editorial board and the state comptroller have pointed out that the casino money would simply replace existing school dollars, making money initially budgeted for education fungible. School funding in Maryland is dictated by budgeting formulae set primarily by the 2002 Bridge to Excellence Act, known as the Thornton Law. An infusion of casino revenue would not change that, but it might free up money previously in the education budget for other uses.
The television ad follows a recent mailer sent out by No on 7, which features a picture of Benjamin Franklin's head on a hundred-dollar bill, with a piece of masking tape that says "loophole" photoshopped over his mouth. "How do we know there's a loophole in Question 7 that works against education funding?" the mailer asks, answering with the text of the measure itself, which says that education money gained from the amendment would be a replacement, not an addition.
"It's all a shell game to politicians," the mailer says. "They move money from one account to the other with almost no accountability."
As the Sun reported, No on 7 is sponsored by a MGM rival, casino owner Penn National Gaming. According to state campaign finance reports, Penn has contributed $21 million to the cause, ostensibly because they are concerned about education in Maryland. But the group would also have a lot to lose if Question 7 passes and new, competitive casinos opened: The group owns Hollywood Casino in Perryville, Md., and Charles Town Race and Slots in West Virginia, the Sun reported, which would compete with any new casino in Prince George's County created as a result of the ballot measure.
O'Malley has called similar spots "a bunch of West Virginia casino hooey," and claims that Penn National is trying to protect its casinos.
In response, the Sun notes that amendments cannot change school budgeting formulae. The measure "just allows general tax revenues that would otherwise have been spent on the schools to go somewhere else," the paper wrote. "Theoretically, the state could use the slots money to increase total education funding, but it has never done so."
State Comptroller Peter Franchot told The Diamondback, the University of Maryland's student newspaper, that the education argument for gambling is a ruse devised to interest "voters who want to do the right thing for kids, when it does nothing to bring in new dollars for education." Franchot went on to call the claim that Question 7 would bring education money to the state "a lie," noting that "any new money added to the trust fund is taken out of the education budget on the other side."
This post has been updated to include exclusive information about a second, forthcoming ad by the No on 7 group.
