Frank Kearns was the go-to guy at CBS News for danger- ous stories in Africa and the Middle East in the 1950s, '60s, and early '70s. By his own account, he was nearly killed 114 times. He took stories that nobody else wanted to cover and was challenged to get them on the air when nobody cared about this part of the world. But his stories were warning shots for conflicts that play out in the headlines today.
In 1957, Senator John Kennedy described America's view of the Algerian war for independence as the Eisenhower Administration's "head in the sand policy." So CBS News decided to find out what was really happening there and to determine where Algeria's war for independence fit into the game plan for the Cold War. They sent Frank Kearns to find out.
Kearns took with him cameraman Yousef ("Joe") Masraff and 400 pounds of gear, some of which they shed, and they hiked with FLN escorts from Tunisia, across a wide "no-man's land," and into the Aures Mountains of eastern Algeria, where the war was bloodiest. They carried no passports or visas. They dressed as Algerians. They refused to bear weapons. And they knew that if captured, they would be executed and left in unmarked graves. But their job as journalists was to seek the truth whatever it might turn out to be.
This is Frank Kearns's diary.
Carol Sue Humphrey's The American Revolution and the Pressargues that newspapers played an important role during America's struggle for independence by keeping Americans engaged in the war even when the fighting occurred in distant locales. From the moment that the colonials received word of Britain's new taxes in 1764 until reports of the peace treaty arrived in 1783, the press constituted the major source of information about events and developments in the conflict with the mother country. Both Benjamin Franklin, one of the Revolution's greatest leaders, and Ambrose Serle, a Loyalist, described the press as an "engine" that should be used to advance the cause. The efforts of Patriot printers to keep readers informed about the war helped ensure ultimate success by boosting morale and rallying Americans to the cause until victory was achieved. As Humphrey illustrates, Revolutionary-era newspapers provided the political and ideological unity that helped Americans secure their independence and create a new nation.
For a lot of people, thoughts about the sexual politics of Playboy run along the lines of what Gloria Steinem reportedly once told Hugh Hefner: "A woman reading Playboy feels a little like a Jew reading a Nazi manual." Hefner's magazine celebrates men as swinging bachelors and women as objects of desire; ergo, it's sexist.
Not so fast, says Carrie Pitzulo. With Bachelors and Bunnies, she delves into the history of the magazine to reveal its surprisingly strong record of support for women's rights and the modernization of sexual and gender roles. Taking readers behind the scenes of Playboy's heyday, Pitzulo shows how Hefner's own complicated but thoughtful perspective on modern manhood, sexual liberation, and feminism played into debates—both in the editorial offices and on the magazine's pages—about how Playboy's trademark "girl next door" appeal could accommodate, acknowledge, and even honor the changing roles and new aspirations of women in postwar America. Revealing interviews with Hugh Hefner and his daughter (and later Playboy CEO) Christie Hefner, as well as with a number of editors and even Playmates, show that even as the magazine continued to present a romanticized notion of gender difference, it again and again demonstrated a commitment to equality and expanded opportunities for women.
Offering a surprising new take on a twentieth-century icon, Bachelors and Bunnies goes beyond the smoking jacket and the centerfold to uncover an unlikely ally for the feminist cause.
In the formative years of the Methodist Church in the United States, women played significant roles as proselytizers, organizers, lay ministers, and majority members. Although women's participation helped the church to become the nation's largest denomination by the mid-nineteenth century, their official roles diminished during that time. In Beyond the Pulpit, Lisa Shaver examines Methodist periodicals as a rhetorical space to which women turned to find, and make, self-meaning.
In 1818, Methodist Magazine first published "memoirs" that eulogized women as powerful witnesses for their faith on their deathbeds. As Shaver observes, it was only in death that a woman could achieve the status of minister. Another Methodist publication, the Christian Advocate, was America's largest circulated weekly by the mid-1830s. It featured the "Ladies' Department," a column that reinforced the canon of women as dutiful wives, mothers, and household managers. Here, the church also affirmed women in the important rhetorical and evangelical role of domestic preacher. Outside the "Ladies Department," women increasingly appeared in "little narratives" in which they were portrayed as models of piety and charity, benefactors, organizers, Sunday school administrators and teachers, missionaries, and ministers' assistants. These texts cast women into nondomestic roles that were institutionally sanctioned and widely disseminated.
By 1841, the Ladies' Repository and Gatherings of the West was engaging women in discussions of religion, politics, education, science, and a variety of intellectual debates. As Shaver posits, by providing a forum for women writers and readers, the church gave them an official rhetorical space and the license to define their own roles and spheres of influence. As such, the periodicals of the Methodist church became an important public venue in which women's voices were heard and their identities explored.
To attract readers, journalists have long trafficked in the causes of trauma--crime, violence, warfare--as well as psychological profiling of deviance and aberrational personalities. Novelists, in turn, have explored these same subjects in developing their characters and by borrowing from their own traumatic life stories to shape the themes and psychological terrain of their fiction. In this book, Doug Underwood offers a conceptual and historical framework for comprehending the impact of trauma and violence in the careers and the writings of important journalist-literary figures in the United States and British Isles from the early 1700s to today.
Grounded in the latest research in the fields of trauma studies, literary biography, and the history of journalism, this study draws upon the lively and sometimes breathtaking accounts of popular writers such as Charles Dickens, Ernest Hemingway, Dorothy Parker, Graham Greene, and Truman Capote, exploring the role that trauma has played in shaping their literary works. Underwood notes that the influence of traumatic experience upon journalistic literature is being reshaped by a number of factors, including news media trends, the advance of the Internet, the changing nature of the journalism profession, the proliferation of psychoactive drugs, and journalists' greater self-awareness of the impact of trauma in their work.
The most extensive scholarly examination of the role that trauma has played in the shaping of our journalistic and literary heritage, Chronicling Trauma: Journalists and Writers on Violence and Loss discusses more than a hundred writers whose works have won them fame, even at the price of their health, their families, and their lives.
For two years, Clemencia Rodríguez did fieldwork in regions of Colombia where leftist guerillas, right-wing paramilitary groups, the army, and drug traffickers made their presence felt in the lives of unarmed civilians. Here, Rodríguez tells the story of the ways in which people living in the shadow of these armed intruders use community radio, television, video, digital photography, and the Internet to shield their communities from armed violence's negative impacts.
Citizens' media are most effective, Rodríguez posits, when they understand communication as performance rather than simply as persuasion or the transmission of information. Grassroots media that are deeply embedded in the communities they serve and responsive to local needs strengthen the ability of community members to productively react to violent incursions. Rodríguez demonstrates how citizens' media privilege aspects of community life not hijacked by violence, providing people with the tools and the platform to forge lives for themselves and their families that are not entirely colonized by armed conflict and its effects.
Ultimately, Rodríguez shows that unarmed civilian communities that have been cornered by armed conflict can use community media to repair torn social fabrics, reconstruct eroded bonds, reclaim public spaces, resolve conflict, and sow the seeds of peace and stability.
Horrified, saddened, and angered: That was the American people's reaction to the 9/11 attacks, Hurricane Katrina, the Virginia Tech shootings, and the 2008 financial crisis. In Consuming Catastrophe, Timothy Recuber presents a unique and provocative look at how these four very different disasters took a similar path through public consciousness. He explores the myriad ways we engage with and negotiate our feelings about disasters and tragedies—from omnipresent media broadcasts to relief fund efforts and promises to "Never Forget."
Recuber explains how a specific and "real" kind of emotional connection to the victims becomes a crucial element in the creation, use, and consumption of mass mediation of disasters. He links this to the concept of "empathetic hedonism," or the desire to understand or feel the suffering of others.
The ineffability of disasters makes them a spectacular and emotional force in contemporary American culture. Consuming Catastrophe provides a lively analysis of the themes and meanings of tragedy and the emotions it engenders in the representation, mediation and consumption of disasters.
In The Eternal Paddy, Michael de Nie examines anti-Irish prejudice, Anglo-Irish relations, and the construction of Irish and British identities in nineteenth-century Britain. This book provides a new, more inclusive approach to the study of Irish identity as perceived by Britons and demonstrates that ideas of race were inextricably connected with class concerns and religious prejudice in popular views of both peoples. De Nie suggests that while traditional anti-Irish stereotypes were fundamental to British views of Ireland, equally important were a collection of sympathetic discourses and a self-awareness of British prejudice. In the pages of the British newspaper press, this dialogue created a deep ambivalence about the Irish people, an ambivalence that allowed most Britons to assume that the root of Ireland's difficulties lay in its Irishness.
Drawing on more than ninety newspapers published in England, Scotland, and Wales, The Eternal Paddy offers the first major detailed analysis of British press coverage of Ireland over the course of the nineteenth century. This book traces the evolution of popular understandings and proposed solutions to the "Irish question," focusing particularly on the interrelationship between the press, the public, and the politicians. The work also engages with ongoing studies of imperialism and British identity, exploring the role of Catholic Ireland in British perceptions of their own identity and their empire.
With their gregarious natures and casual styles, American GIs in wartime England were instantly attractive to British women—especially in the absence of their fighting men. As a result, some seventy thousand British war brides returned to the United States—with many on the home front at first suspecting that the GIs were somehow being exploited.
The war brides' stories have been told in memoirs, romantic novels, and immigration history. Barbara Friedman sheds new light on their experiences by focusing on media representations of sexuality and marriage in wartime, showing how mass media interpretations turned from public suspicion of war brides to popular acceptance.
Friedman tells how British media first insisted that GIs had come to fight, not to woo the locals, and shrugged off the first brides as an "American problem." Yet, as Friedman shows, the British media were complicit in encouraging the relationships in the first place: the British press promoted a hospitality program that deemed the entertainment of American troops "patriotic duty," while women's magazines hailed American men as ideal husbands and the United States as a promised land.
From the American perspective, Friedman reveals, despite rules against foreign marriages, the U.S. Army encouraged GI-civilian fraternization through armed service publications, attitudes toward GI sexuality, and participation in the hospitality program. Armed service publications went from depicting British women as "frowsy dames" to honoring them as models of domesticity, while newspapers back home eventually legitimized the marriages by casting the brides as welcome additions to American society. Meanwhile, American women's magazines viewed them as more similar to than different from their American counterparts and called on readers to help British brides master American homemaking.
By combining letters and diaries of brides with published accounts, Friedman identifies accuracies and inaccuracies in the media record as well as gaps in coverage. She considers how the brides saw themselves compared to their media images and shows how the media co-opted brides as symbols of the Anglo-American "special friendship," postwar power imbalance, and gendered ideals of marriage and domestication.
From the Battlefront to the Bridal Suite is the untold story of overlooked participants in the most celebrated drama of the twentieth century—women whose lives were shaped profoundly by a war that was more than just a male enterprise. It shows the power of the press in the most unlikely matters and suggests a broader definition of the wartime experience.
In an age when pundits constantly decry overt political bias in the media, we have naturally become skeptical of the news. But the bluntness of such critiques masks the highly sophisticated ways in which the media frame important stories. In Front Page Economics, Gerald Suttles delves deep into the archives to examine coverage of two major economic crashes—in 1929 and 1987—in order to systematically break down the way newspapers normalize crises.
Poring over the articles generated by the crashes—as well as the people in them, the writers who wrote them, and the cartoons that ran alongside them—Suttles uncovers dramatic changes between the ways the first and second crashes were reported. In the intervening half-century, an entire new economic language had arisen and the practice of business journalism had been completely altered. Both of these transformations, Suttles demonstrates, allowed journalists to describe the 1987 crash in a vocabulary that was normal and familiar to readers, rendering it routine.
A subtle and probing look at how ideologies are packaged and transmitted to the casual newspaper reader, Front Page Economics brims with important insights that shed light on our own economically tumultuous times.
Michael Frome, who began his distinguished career in environmental journalism in the 1960s, has been called the dean of American conservation. As former Senator Gaylord Nelson once told the members of Congress, "No writer in America has more persistently and effectively argued for the need of a national ethics of environmental stewardship."
In Green Ink: An Introduction to Environmental Journalism, Frome has forged decades of experience in the field he helped pioneer into a valuable primer for environmental advocates and writers. This appealing blend of anecdote, advice, personal testimony, and a nuts and bolts instruction offers a thorough survey of rewards and challenges that environmental studies students might expect to encounter on along their chosen career paths. In addition to the extraordinary contributions made by "marquis" names such as Rachel Carson and Bernard DeVoto, Frome recounts the remarkable stories of a host of other writer-advocates and their largely unsung roles in investigating and publicizing environmental problems and abuses.
In 1937 and 1938, Ernest Hemingway made four trips to Spain to cover its civil war for the North American News Alliance wire service and to help create the pro-Republican documentary film The Spanish Earth. Hemingway's Second War is the first book-length scholarly work devoted to this subject.
The charge of inauthenticity has trailed Hillary Clinton from the moment she entered the national spotlight and stood in front of television cameras. Hillary Clinton in the News: Gender and Authenticity in American Politics shows how the U.S. news media created their own news frames of Clinton's political authenticity and image-making, from her participation in Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign through her own 2008 presidential bid.
Using theories of nationalism, feminism, and authenticity, Parry-Giles tracks the evolving ways the major networks and cable news programs framed Clinton's image as she assumed roles ranging from surrogate campaigner, legislative advocate, and financial investor to international emissary, scorned wife, and political candidate. This study magnifies how the coverage that preceded Clinton's entry into electoral politics was grounded in her earliest presence in the national spotlight, and in long-standing nationalistic beliefs about the boundaries of authentic womanhood and first lady comportment. Once Clinton dared to cross those gender boundaries and vie for office in her own right, the news exuded a rhetoric of sexual violence. These portrayals served as a warning to other women who dared to enter the political arena and violate the protocols of authentic womanhood.
Hope and Folly was first published in 1989. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions.
Created in a burst of idealism after World War II, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) existed for forty years in a state of troubled yet often successful collaboration with one of its founders and benefactors, the United States. In 1980, UNESCO adopted the report of a commission that surveyed and criticized the dominance, in world media, of the United States, Japan, and a handful of European countries. The report also provided the conceptual underpinnings for what was later called the New World Information and Communication Order, a general direction adopted by UNESCO to encourage increased Third World participation in world media. This direction - it never became an official program - ultimately led to the United States's withdrawal from UNESCO in 1984.
Hope and Folly is an interpretive chronicle of U.S./ UNESCO relations. Although the information debated has garnered wide attention in Europe and the Third World, there is no comparable study in the English language, and none that focuses specifically on the United States and the broad historical context of the debate. In the first three parts, William Preston covers the changing U.S./ UNESCO relationship from the early cold war years through the period of anti-UNESCO backlash, as well as the politics of the withdrawal. Edward Herman's section is an interpretive critique of American media coverage of the withdrawal, and Herbert Schiller's is a conceptual analysis of conflicts within the United States's information policies during its last years in UNESCO. The book's appendices include an analysis of Ed Bradley's notorious "60 Minutes" broadcast on UNESCO.
From the fundamental rights proclaimed in the American and French declarations of independence to the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Hannah Arendt's furious critiques, the definition of what it means to be human has been hotly debated. But the history of human rights—and their abuses—is also a richly illustrated one. Following this picture trail, Human Rights In Camera takes an innovative approach by examining the visual images that have accompanied human rights struggles and the passionate responses people have had to them.
On the night of December 1,1900, Iowa farmer John Hossack was attacked and killed while he slept at home beside his wife, Margaret. On April 11, 1901, after five days of testimony before an all-male jury, Margaret Hossack was found guilty of his murder and sentenced to life in prison. One year later, she was released on bail to await a retrial; jurors at this second trial could not reach a decision, and she was freed. She died August 25, 1916, leaving the mystery of her husband's death unsolved.
The Hossack tragedy is a compelling one and the issues surrounding their domestic problems are still relevant today, Margaret's composure and stoicism, developed during years of spousal abuse, were seen as evidence of unfeminine behavior, while John Hossack--known to be a cruel and dangerous man--was hailed as a respectable husband and father.
Midnight Assassin also introduces us to Susan Glaspell, a journalist who reported on the Hossack murder for the Des Moines Daily, who used these events as the basis for her classic short story, " A Jury of Her Peers", and the famous play Trifles.
Based on almost a decade of research, Midnight Assassin is a riveting story of loneliness, fear, and suffering in the rural Midwest.
In an age before radio and television, E. W. Scripps's ownership of twenty-one newspapers, a major news wire service, and a prominent news syndication service represented the first truly national media organization in the United States. In The Scripps Newspapers Go to War, 1914-18, Dale Zacher details the scope, organization, and character of the mighty Scripps empire during World War I to reveal how the pressures of the market, government censorship, propaganda, and progressivism transformed news coverage during wartime.
This volume presents the first systematic look at the daily operations of any major newspaper operation during World War I and provides fascinating accounts of how the papers struggled with competition, their patriotic duties, and internal editorial dissent. The book also engages questions about American neutrality and the newspapers' relationship with President Woodrow Wilson, the move to join the war, and the fallout from the disillusionment of actually experiencing war. Ultimately, Zacher shows how the progressive spirit and political independence at the Scripps newspapers came under attack and was forever changed by this crucial period in American history.
A volume in the series The History of Communication, edited by Robert W. McChesney and John C. Nerone
Although theirs has been a contentious relationship, Joe Mathewson shows that, since the framing of the Constitution, the Supreme Court has needed the press to educate the public about its actions, just as the press has depended on the Supreme Court to ensure the freedoms that give it life. The Court ignored the First Amendment for more than a century and then trampled it, but since the 1960s it has tended to uphold the rights of the press in the face of opposition, that coming from the Executive Branch. Still, the Court has repeatedly failed to fully inform the public of its decisions. Even today the Court permits only limited access to its audio tapes of oral arguments, and it famously refuses to allow television cameras into the courtroom. Mathewson argues that if the Supreme Court wants to maintain its legitimacy and authority in the internet age it must allow broader access for the press.
Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein symbolize an era when investigative reporters were seen as courageous fighters of corruption and injustice. Although many mainstream news outlets no longer have the resources to support expensive investigative reporters on staff, journalists have found other ways to support themselves Marshall's discussion of the opportunities they have found in blogs, crowd-sourcing, and nonprofit institutions offers hope for the future of investigative journalism.
Women Pre-Scripted explores the way ideas about women and their social roles changed during Korea's transformation into a modern society. Drawing on a wide range of materials published in periodicals—ideological debates, cartoons, literary works, cover illustrations, letters, and confessions—the author shows how at different times between 1896 and 1934, the idea of modern womanhood transforms from virgin savior to mother of the nation to manager of modern family life and, finally, to an embodiment of the capitalist West, fully armed with sexuality and glamour.
Each chapter examines representative periodicals to explore how their content on a range of women's issues helped formulate and prescribe women's roles, defining what would later become appropriate knowledge for women in the new modern context. Lee shows how in various ways this prescribing was gendered, how it would sometimes promote the "modern" and at other times critique it. She offers a close look at primary sources not previously introduced in English, exploring the subject and genre of each work, the script used, and the way it categorized or defined a given women's issue. By identifying and dissecting the various agendas and agents behind the scenes, she is able to shed light on the complex and changing relationship between domesticity, gender, and modernity during Korea's transition to a modern state and its colonial occupation.
Women Pre-Scripted contributes to the swell of research on Asian women in recent years and expands our picture of a complex period. It will be of interest to scholars of Korean literature and history, East Asian literature, and others interested in women and gender within the context of colonial modernity.

As the White House took steps to accommodate religious nonprofits wanting to opt out of contraception coverage, HBO's "Girls" creator Lena Dunham took to Twitter Tuesday evening with a simple question:
I need birth control because I have endometriosis and it helps manage pain. Why do you?
— Lena Dunham (@lenadunham) July 23, 2014
The Supreme Court's Hobby Lobby ruling last month dealt a major blow to birth control coverage. At the time, Dunham tweeted her stance that "Women's access to birth control should not be denied because of their employer's religious beliefs." Last week, Eden Foods' CEO revived a case to deny coverage of all birth control from employees' healthcare plans.
Within minutes of Dunham's tweet, both women and men were sharing the many reasons, from health concerns to family planning, that birth control is important to them:
@lenadunham Because I am not physically, financially, or emotionally prepared for parenthood.
— Casey Rae (@cgarci21) July 23, 2014
@lenadunham polycystic ovary syndrome!!! #hormonaldisorderbabe
— Maria Yagoda (@mariayagoda) July 23, 2014
@lenadunham because women have the right to enjoy sex without the confines and fear of a unplanned pregnancy, just as men do
— B (@brattybeeee) July 23, 2014
@lenadunham I need birth control because it is my choice to stop having kids after having had two that I planned and love to pieces.
— Romina Linnell (@RominaML) July 23, 2014
@lenadunham because I have a future jam packed with finishing college, starting a career, and traveling. A baby doesn't fit into that yet.
— breanna ☮♡ૐ (@BreannaB) July 23, 2014
@lenadunham because I want every girl I ever love to feel safe with every guy they ever love. And bc could help.
— eric (@yungg_dad) July 23, 2014
@lenadunham I don't want a baby yet and my periods were stupid heavy and now they aren't :)
— Rebecca (@shragger) July 23, 2014
Dunham concluded by thanking the "brave women and sensitive men" and encouraging readers to follow the Planned Parenthood Action Fund to learn more. And then, in typical quirky Dunham fashion, she added:
Oh, one other reason I need birth control: cuz once when I was menstruating real bad I said "my grandma only likes me cuz I'm on TV"
— Lena Dunham (@lenadunham) July 23, 2014

In January 1985, the band headlined two nights of the first Rock in Rio festival at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and played in front of over 300,000 people each night. The Boston Globe described it as a "mesmerising performance". A selection of highlights of both nights was released on VHS with the title Queen: Live in Rio, and was later broadcast on MTV in the US.In April and May 1985, Queen completed the Works Tour with sold-out shows in Australia and Japan.
"Queen were absolutely the best band of the day… they just went and smashed one hit after another… it was the perfect stage for Freddie: the whole world"—Bob Geldof, on Queen's performance at Live Aid.

So hiking partner and I couldn't help but notice that it's December and we have yet to see the promised parking meters (that we blogged about in August) at our favorite parks, which were supposed to be installed in November.
Turns out discussions surrounding the proposal called, " Friend of the Mountains/Daily Preserve Parking Program" (barf) are scheduled to take place in March 2011. That means plans have changed -- there won't be any meters this year and we won't have to worry about coughing up cash to get into the parks until sometime after March 2011.
Read on about the future of parking fees after the jump.
Back in August, Phoenix Parks and Recreation had a tentative schedule to install the parking meters in November 2010.
The reason for the change? The Phoenix City Council decided that city proposals for user fees will be considered only once per year ... in March.
Plans still remain to install meters at the following park areas: North Mountain Park, Phoenix Mountains Park and Recreation Area (which includes the Piestewa Peak Summit Trail), the Dreamy Draw Recreation Area, the Echo Canyon area of Camelback Mountain, and the Pima Canyon area of South Mountain Park/Preserve.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
If passed, daily park passes would cost $2. Six-month and annual passes would also be available for $50 and $75, respectively.

Ariel Winter Flashes Half Her Butt Cheeks In Extremely Short Daisy Duke Shorts — Pics
Suns out, buns out! Ariel Winter flashed half her booty while shopping in a pair of ultra short Daisy Dukes in Beverly Hills on June 20 and the outfit may be her most jaw-dropping look so far!
Ariel Winter, 19, was out on the town on June 20 — but her butt cheeks were out even more! The Modern Family star hit up some of her fave stores in Beverly Hills wearing a tiny pair of denim Daisy Dukes that gave passersby a good look at her nice assets. While Ariel is always proud of her body, and is a huge advocate for owning your style choices, she looked a little annoyed by the attention of the photogs. The young starlet covered her face up with a bag from the store Planet Blue — a fave boutique among celebrities.
Complementing the adorable cut-offs that exposed Ariel's perfect bum, was her cute olive green t-shirt. The look was absolutely perfect for the warm and sunny Cali day, which Ariel chose to spend shopping with a friend who also wore high-waisted cut-off shorts. We wonder if she was buying a few more pairs of Daisy Dukes, as the look is definitely working for her!
Ariel, who is enjoying the summer hiatus from her hit ABC series, has had a lot of big developments in her life over the past few months. The young actress was recently accepted to UCLA, were she intends to pursue a law degree while continuing on with her professional acting career. In her personal life she is growing closer and closer to her hunky beau Levi Meaden, 29. Ariel recently revealed that she and the stud are living together and having a great time. They have even gotten cute coordinated tattoos!
HollywoodLifers, what do you think of Ariel's Daisy Dukes? Let us know below!

"Past-Due/Late Tax Returns"~FAQs
Why is the IRS requesting a tax return when the business filed its return?
- The IRS did not receive the tax return or the return was rejected when e-filed.
- The business did not notate "Final" on the final tax return or the IRS did not process the final tax return correctly.
- A return was filed for one entity type and IRS records show the business as another entity type. For example, a business files a Form 1120S for an S corporation when IRS records show that the business is a C corporation.
How far back will the business be required to file?
The IRS typically requires a business to file all required returns.
Will the business be penalized for filing/paying late?
Yes, the IRS will assess a failure to file penalty unless the business can show a valid reason for failing to file the return by the deadline. The business may receive penalty relief if this is the first time the business failed to file a return by the due date.
The IRS will also assess a failure to pay penalty and interest on any unpaid tax balance.
The IRS will also assess a failure to pay penalty and interest on any unpaid tax balance.
As an individual, Will I receive my refund if I file late?
To claim your refund, you must file your tax return within three years from the date the return is due (including extensions), or two years from the date the tax was paid, whichever is later. If you do not file a return within this time frame, you will forfeit the refund.
Am I required to file a personal tax return?
You are required to file a tax return when:
- You have self employment income of over
- Your income from wages exceeds the
combined personal exemption and standard
deduction for that tax year
- Other special situations occur such as taking
an early distribution from a retirement account or selling your home
If you have a refund due for a later tax year, the IRS will likely hold that refund until you file any unfiled returns.
Note: If you apply for a loan or financial aid for college, you will be required to provide proof that your prior year tax return was filed.
How far back will I be required to file my personal tax return?
The IRS typically requires the past six years to be filed.

Website copywriting takes more of an overview than just writing copy alone.
Each website page needs to be assessed as a stand-alone product, before being added to a website. Each page needs to promote a business, as well as creating a coherent business message for a website.
To achieve this, when a business wants a (there's that word again) coherent website, before starting – create a sitemap. This gives a visual overview of WHICH pages need to be on the site, and WHY.
This is an excellent time to sit down and think about: Why you're building a website. Who you're talking to. What do you want to say?
For example, for this website, a lot of work went into defining my Unique Selling Point (USP) before building a website
- My USP? Unfussy, jargon-free copywriting, editing and proofreading.
- For whom? Businesses and selected charities.
- How? Through writing advertising materials, blogs and social media.
This is a very brief overview of a business plan which encompassed a lot of writing/scrubbing out/cups of coffee, advertising, networking and marketing. A website can't be created on the hoof, otherwise it'll just be garbled rubbish. It needs to be part of a clearly defined marketing strategy.
I'll just jump back to that word sitemap again. How does one create such a thing?
Pen and paper.
Seriously. It doesn't need bells and whistles. Start by drawing a box called "Home Page". Underneath this box, draw a box for each page that needs to be created. Think about whether a box needs to be sub-divided i.e. adding another box underneath.
It really is that simple.
I'm not a web designer, I'm a copywriter – I can help a business with the overview of building a website; what needs to be written on each page – and write it.
If this post is unclear in any way, just let me know and I'd be happy to explain.

A couple weeks ago I excitedly wrote a post about finding the perfect kitchen table.
Then a week, and dozens of furniture stores and websites, later we decided on our ideal sofa and love seat.
Now we are trying to find that perfect coffee table to match. Problem is, the sofa we bought is oversized. And when I say oversized, it measures over 100" long (the average sofa length is usually closer to 90"). So we're trying to find a larger coffee table that won't be dwarfed by our Texas-sized seating receptacles. Oh, and we're trying to avoid spending a fortune on said table - easier said than done we've discovered.
On a better note I found some fantastic bedroom furniture from IKEA which means its on the less expensive end of furniture! Hopefully I can convince Corey that its a good idea to furnish our bedroom with new shiny stuff and use our current furniture for a guest room.
We've accomplished a lot this week, despite our inability to close the deal on a table. Our mortgage got the full, final approval by the bank, we signed up for a home warranty, confirmed the closing date, set up some utilities and finally chose a moving company. In other words, we are all set for closing in 5 days and the big move in 10 days!! Hooray!
While driving into our apartment complex tonight with my car full of groceries and other purchases, I thought about all the things I'm excited for with the house. Here's my top 10:
1. I won't have to carry 10 bags of groceries up 3 flights of stairs anymore
2. I can park right in front, or in the garage, of my own home rather than parking far away and walking in the middle of the cold, dark night
3. Our kitchen will be at least twice its current size - meaning lots more storage and lots less clutter!
4. We'll have a backyard - that means we can open the door and let Lacey out to play and do her business when its too early or too cold for us to take her for a walk
5. Our washer and dryer will have their very own room - no longer a tiny hall closet that's too small for them
6. My new gas stove - no more funky sized electric coil burners to deal with!!
7. No more smelling onions, garlic and curry at 9 am in our bathroom (I think our downstairs neighbors are Indian or Pakistani and we always smell their cooking at the strangest times and always in our bathroom)
8. A clean, tidy room for our treadmill and other exercise stuff (right now its stuffed into our tiny 2nd bedroom along with a desk, TV, 2 bookshelves and air mattress - yikes!!)
9. Plenty of room for guests with 2 guest rooms
And most of all:
10. We'll have a comfortable space to live and establish ourselves - It will be the perfect place for our family to grow (in a few years - don't get any ideas!)

Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan Summon 'God of War' Chatter
It was revealed back in July that both Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan (The Collector, The Collection, Piranha 3DD, and Saw IV-VII) were brought in by Sony Pictures to rewrite the big screen adaptation of the hit video game, God of War. The duo update the project below!
"In the same way that Batman was grounded with Christopher Nolan's rendition, we were attempting to do that with Kratos so that when we meet him — like they're doing in this newest game, which is sort of a prequel to the original — we're seeing him before he became the Ghost of Sparta, when he was just a Spartan warrior and he had family and kids," they told IGN. "In the game… there's that attack from the barbarians and Kratos has to call upon Ares to help him. Really, that's going to be our first act break. Before then, he's going to be mortal, and he's going to have his family. We're going to learn about him and understand how he operates. So it's potentially 30 minutes — give or take — of building up this character so that, when he does turn and becomes the Ghost of Sparta, we understand him as a human and we understand the journey that he's going to take. We're emotionally invested, so that it could go beyond just this one movie."
As for Ares, he will be a more proactive villain in the movie. "In the game, you know, he's immortal, and he doesn't really do much besides raid Athens… So we're trying to build him up a bit more, too, so that he can become a true villain." Click the above link for more.

The first book about a key player in the Irish Crash, Michael Fingleton – or how not to run a building society - will be published by Gill Books on Thursday, February 28th.
For four decades Michael Fingleton, known as Fingers, ruled Irish Nationwide Building Society with an iron fist. His nickname reflected his shrewdness, his love of power and his immense greed. The fall of the building society cost the tax-payer €5.4 billion but Fingleton walked away with a bonus of €1 million and a massive pension fund. Irish Nationwide, relative to its size, was the worst bank in the country, with hidden secrets that even five years into the financial crisis remain unknown to the public.
- In Fingers co-authors Tom Lyons and Richard Curran reveal how nobody in either politics or the civil service shouted stop. In forensic detail they reveal a twisted tale of how one man's unchecked personal ambition cost us all dearly
- Fingers publishes for the first time the details of the Ernst and Young report, commissioned by the Central Bank to examine what was going on in the society in regard to failings of corporate governance.
- Fingers names the clients of Irish Nationwide who ended up as beneficiaries of those failings, and examines their relationship with Fingleton, as well as his closeness to politicians and other well-known names from the world of business and media who he favoured.
- It delves into the culture of the company and divulges what life was like inside Irish Nationwide for those working under Michael Fingleton.
- Fingers looks at Fingleton's appetite for financing lavish projects, such as the 50 EUR million renovation of the yacht Christina O, Updown Court (the most expensive house in Britain), the Kilternan Hotel (loans of 150 EUR million for a hotel project Fingleton never even went to see), and the Provençal Hotel renovation in the French Riviera that has never been finished, among many other deals.
The books takes us from Fingleton's early beginnings working for charity in Nigeria and explores his social life, his friends, his lavish expenses, and how in the end he blew his fortune and ended up as part of a small group of pariah figures, blamed for costing Irish citizens billions.
Tom Lyons is deputy business editor with The Sunday Independent. He is co-author of The FitzPatrick Tapes. Richard Curran is a business journalist and broadcaster. A former deputy editor of The Sunday Business Post, he is also the presenter on RTE Television's highly successful 'Dragons' Den'.
Fingers: The Man who Brought Down Irish Nationwide and Cost Us €5.4bn will be published by Gill Books on Thursday, 28 February.
Join us on Thursday, February 28th at 18.30 in Hodges Figgis, 58 Dawson Street, Dublin 2 for the public launch of the book. Places limited, please reserve your seat by emailing to email@example.com by Wednesday, February 27th.
