Winner of Western Museums Association Exhibition Excellence Award!
This exhibition closed April 1, 2007
Exhibit Overview | Our
Place on Earth | The Power of Wildfire | Living
with Fire
Do you live in a hotspot? Why
do you value nature? Is
fire good for healthy habitats?
Earth, Wind & WILDFIRE is a comprehensive exhibition that explores the powerful forces that shape the landscape of southern California: fire, nature, and people. This exhibition is a testimonial to the splendor of nature, the power and inevitability of fire, the responsibility humans have for living with nature and fire, and the inspiration of recovery in nature and the community.
"We hope visitors will come away with a sense of awe for both the splendor of nature and the power of fire, and with a sense of responsibility for living in this fire-dependent place," explained Exhibition Co-curator Dr. Anne Fege. Designed to raise awareness of the history and inevitability of fire in southern California's arid and diverse wildlands, Earth, Wind & WILDFIRE employs objects, videos, photographs, and interactive displays.
The purpose of Earth, Wind & WILDFIRE is to explore the powerful forces that shape our regionnature, fire, and peopleand to ask, "How can we co-exist with fire and nature?" Co-curator Anne Fege suggests that visitors will leave the exhibition with these take-home messages:
Fires have become more frequent with growth in human population. When fire is too frequent in coastal sage scrub and chaparral ecosystems, habitats cannot recover and are converted to dramatically different types.
With fire-wise planning and design of communities and structures, we can reduce risk to human life and property and preserve native biological communities.
As humans, we can reduce our vulnerability to large fires by understanding and respecting the power of fire and the value of nature, and by adjusting our developments and our lifestyles to the setting we choose to live in.
Our Place on EarthSan Diego is a "hotspot."
Nature adapts to normal fires. Many plants and animals are adapted to fire, with many different responses: some can escape and may recolonize later; some can regenerate from seeds or resprout; while others may be wiped out.
It is difficult for nature to recover from frequent fires. Our southern California ecosystems face threats to their health, even survival. Fires have become more frequent with growth in human population, creating a situation in which habitats cannot recover and are changed dramatically. When burned too frequently, whether by wildfires or prescribed burns, chaparral and coastal sage scrub will be taken over by highly flammable, weedy, non-native grasslands that burn even more often.
Fires take on a life of their own. When Santa Ana winds are not blowing, these fuel- or topography-driven blazes are quickly suppressed, credited to the world's most experienced wildland firefighters. However, when these fierce winds create 60-mile-per-hour gusts and humidity is almost zero, wildfires burn out of control and quickly outstrip the firefighting resources until the weather changes.
People can learn to adapt to the inevitability of fire. Wildfires cannot be prevented, but we can prepare for them, as we do for earthquakes and floods. Loss of life and property can be minimized by planning low-fire risk communities, building survivable structures, and maintaining defensible space.
Dr. Anne S. Fege, co-curator
of Earth, Wind & WILDFIRE, is currently a Botany Research Associate
at the San Diego Natural History Museum. Dr. Fege retired on May 15,
2004, as the Forest Supervisor of the Cleveland National Forest, where
she was responsible since 1991 for managing 450,000 acres in Orange,
Riverside, and San Diego counties for watershed values, habitat for native
plants and animals, recreation and other uses, wildland fire management,
and open space. She is widely known as a co-founder of the San Diego
Partners for Biodiversity and San Diego Fire Recovery Network, and recently
earned a Masters in Business Administration at San Diego State University.

Relief agencies around San Diego County were gearing up to help victims and first responders at a series of wildfires that broke out this week.
The Salvation Army said it deployed two mobile hydration units to serve water, electrolyte drinks, coffee and snacks to first responders and those impacted by the fires.
"Along with hydration and food, spiritual comfort is our priority," Lt. James Parks of the Escondido Salvation Army Corps Community Center said. "We appreciate all of our community volunteers and those who give so generously to help those impacted by the wildfires."
The Salvation Army is also accepting monetary donations online at sandiego.salvationarmy.org, or by phone at (800) 725-2769. The donors should specify that the money is designated for San Diego fire relief.
Donations can be mailed to The Salvation Army Divisional Headquarters, SD Fires, 2320 Fifth Ave., San Diego, CA 92101.
With the American Red Cross, San Diego chapter, already in action assisting evacuees, the chapter in Los Angeles plans to dispatch four emergency response vehicles to the region.
A group of Red Cross supervisors is also planning to come to San Diego for a one-week period.

I do not know if any of you guys have seen this , but its a nice video. This video is one of the reasons I am a strong Clippers Fan. This team is very down to earth. That is why we bring in down to earth guys. That Is why I believe Metta World Peace and Andrew Bynum never came here because they did not fit with this team and that can be a burden on your team. Good Time for our players to get to know each other like Danny and Glen. BTW... Granger hit an incredible between the legs STRIKE! Hopefully his basketball game is as good as his bowling game . I am going to love Danny on this team.
Ohh and when it shows JJ Reddick for a quick second in his jersey at the event I almost started crying I miss that guy on the court
Thank you for posting this great video! It was refreshing to see how the team had such a fun time, bonding while doing some worthwhile charity work. Seems like Danny and Glen fit right in with the group. I had no idea Danny was a bowling pro, professing to have a high game of 270, Wow! If he can get a strike while bowling the ball between his legs, you know he's got some ball-handling talent, lol.
The real question to ponder,how many average fans can shell out the money required to have this fun.
Man that's awesome. So which fans get to go to this thing? I know it can't be just open to the public right?

TOWSON, Md. – Freshman Larry Ndjock scored his fourth goal of the season and Connor Thompson added a penalty kick goal to lead the Loyola Greyhounds (3-1-1) over the Towson Tigers (2-3) Tuesday afternoon at the Tiger Soccer Complex in a battle of cross-town teams.
Despite being outshot 9-3 in the first half, the Tigers hung tough with Loyola thanks in large part to goalkeeper Felix Petermann. The freshman made a season-high tying four saves in the period while helping to keep the Greyhounds off the scoreboard.
However, Loyola would start the second half with a burst of offensive energy and capitalize on chances deep in the Towson end.
Ndjock would strike first, as he and Thompson connected on a pretty pass that drew Petermann out of the box. Ndjock blasted a shot into the left corner of the goal to put the Greyhounds in front 1-0 just 2:21 after the second half began.
After Ndjock was dragged down in the box nearly six minutes later, Thompson took the ensuing penalty kick and put the Greyhounds ahead, 2-0, with 36:58 remaining in the game.
"Conceding a penalty kick did not exactly come at the ideal time," Towson Coach Frank Olszewski said. "Defensively, it was a matter of our spacing. We needed to condense the field and be more compact."
The Tigers, who were outshot 13-10 in the game, did come alive in the second half, tallying seven shots while holding Loyola to just four in the period.
Goalie Thurman Van Riper made four saves in the win for the Greyhounds.
The Tigers will next travel to the University of Cincinnati to face the Bearcats Friday at 7:30 p.m.

Download a PDF of this fact sheet here
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder that affects 5-10% of women. The diagnosis of PCOS is made by a woman having two of the following three characteristics:
inability to release an egg from the ovaries on a regular (monthly) basis (chronic anovulation),
increased male hormone levels and/or an increase in hair in the midline of the body (hyperandrogenism), and
polycystic-appearing ovaries on ultrasound. Because of the variable nature of PCOS, its diagnosis is based upon the combination of clinical, ultrasound, and laboratory features.
Women who have PCOS may have irregular, infrequent menstrual cycles; hirsutism (increased hair growth); acne; and/or infertility. Many women with PCOS have ovaries that are enlarged with many small cysts (fluid-filled sacs) that are visible on ultrasound.
Lack of ovulation in women with PCOS results in continuous exposure of their uterine lining (endometrium) to estrogen. This may cause excessive thickening of the uterine lining and possible abnormal bleeding. The bombardment of estrogen without ovulation may lead to uterine cancer or pre-cancer. Metabolic syndrome is more common in women with PCOS. This condition is characterized by abdominal obesity, cholesterol abnormalities, hypertension, and insulin resistance/diabetes mellitus. Each of these increases the risk of heart disease.
Obesity is noted in over 50% of women with PCOS. Diet and exercise that result in weight loss improves the frequency of ovulation, enhances the ability to get pregnant, improves fertility, lowers the risk of diabetes, and lowers androgen levels in many women with PCOS.
Ovulation may often be induced with clomiphene citrate (CC), an orally-administered fertility medication. If consistent ovulation is not noted with CC, the use of the oral medication letrozole may be considered. Though it is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration for fertility purposes, letrozole appears to be as effective in inducing ovulation as CC, but it can potentially have detrimental effects on a developing fetus so it is important that pregnancy is ruled out before its administration. Gonadotropins (injectable fertility medications) may be used to induce ovulation if CC or letrozole do not result in ovulation or pregnancy. However, gonadotropins are associated with a higher risk of multiple pregnancy and/or overstimulation of the ovaries (ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome). Therefore, PCOS patients must be monitored very carefully when gonadotropins are utilized. In vitro fertilization (IVF) may also be an option for patients with PCOS.
If fertility is not an immediate concern, hormonal therapies are usually successful in temporarily correcting the problems associated with PCOS. Oral contraceptive pills (OCs) are commonly prescribed to reduce hirsutism and acne, maintain regular menstrual periods, prevent endometrial cancer, and prevent pregnancy. OCs may be combined with medications that decrease androgen action, such as spironolactone, to improve hirsutism. Eflornithine® cream has been approved to reduce facial hair and is applied directly on any affected areas on the face. Hair removal methods such as electrolysis and laser are also helpful.
Treatment with medications that increase the body's sensitivity to insulin, such as metformin, may help improve ovulation and may reduce the risk of developing diabetes or metabolic syndrome. However, metformin should not be used exclusively for fertility purposes.
Overall, treatment for PCOS should be individualized to the needs of the patient.

Yergin, Valpo Bats Lead Crusaders to Sweep of Oakland
Saturday, May 07, 2005Rochester, Mich. - Harvey Yergin hurled a complete-game victory and Valpo pounded out 26 hits on the day as the Crusaders swept a Mid-Continent Conference doubleheader from Oakland by scores of 8-2 and 7-4. Mike Arensdorff had five hits, including two home runs, and finished with four RBIs in the twinbill.
Jon Rupno had four hits and three RBIs, while Matt Augustine also totaled four hits. Seven Crusaders had two hits in the first game and four notched multi-hit performances in the nightcap.
In the opener, Valpo's 16-hit attack and Yergin's dominant pitching put the Crusaders in firm control of the game. A sophomore, Yergin (3-6) retired 20 straight batters from the third inning until there were two outs in the ninth. He limited the Golden Grizzlies to two ninth-inning runs, allowing five hits overall. The righthander struck out seven and did not issue a walk.
Valpo (14-25, 6-10 Mid-Con) took a 2-0 lead in the third inning when Kevin Perri singled and Arensdorff followed with a two-run homer over the right center field wall. The Crusaders extended their lead to 4-0 in the sixth when Perri singled and came home on Kevin Kutansky's two-run homer to left center.
The lead grew to 8-0 with a single run in the eighth and a trifecta in the ninth. Jeff Rickert delivered an RBI single in the eighth, scoring Josh Piazza, who hit a one-out double. Solid situational hitting produced the trio of runs in the ninth. Kutansky's sacrifice fly plated Brian Rzepka, who led off with a double. Piazza added another sacrifice fly as Perri scored his third run of the game. Rupno's RBI bunt single brought Arensdorff home with the eighth run.
Oakland (10-29, 7-11) spoiled Yergin's shutout attempt with two outs in the ninth. Nate Recknagel doubled and Ty Herriott followed with a two-run homer to center field.
In addition to Arensdorff, Rupno and Augustine, Rzepka, Perri, Piazza and Rickert each had two hits in the opener.
Kevin Hale (3-3) suffered the loss, pitching 6 1/3 solid innings. He allowed four runs on 10 hits, while fanning three and walking none.
In the nightcap, a four-run third inning broke a 1-1 tie and proved to be the difference. After Rupno's RBI single tied the game in the second, Valpo took advantage of three Golden Grizzllies' errors in the third. John Giusti singled, advanced to second on a throwing error and scored on another throwing error that allowed Rzepka to reach second. After a balk and a walk, Perri stole second base. Rzepka scored when the catcher's throw went into center field. Arensdorff belted an RBI double to left field and, with one out, scored on Piazza's RBI groundout.
Oakland trimmed its deficit to 5-3 with single runs in the third and fourth. Herriott's sacrifice fly and Ryan Heath's solo homer accounted for the offense.
Arensdorff's second homer of the day, his fourth on the season, and Rupno's RBI single in the fifth increased the lead to 7-3. Oakland scored one in the sixth on Bryan Marulli's RBI double for the final margin.
Arensdorff had three hits in the second game, while Augustine, Rupno and Giusti each had two.
John Snelten (2-0) earned the win in relief, allowing one run in 2 innings. He struck out three and did not walk a batter. Bryan Bishop took the loss, allowing four earned runs and nine hits in 4 2/3 innings.
With tomorrow's action and two additional weekends of Mid-Con games remaining, Valpo (6-10) is challenging Centenary (6-8) and Oakland (7-11) for the fourth and final spot in the Mid-Con Tournament to be held May 26-28 at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Okla. Centenary, which was swept in a doubleheader Saturday at first-place ORU, plays another twinbill Sunday against the Golden Eagles (13-1).

Winslow, Arizona
Meteor Crater RV Park
[ 10/10 ]
Just the best RV park we have ever stayed at. Well stocked store and gas/diesel on the premises. A spacious and comfortable lounge. Ample restroom and shower facilities. well maintained and landscaped area. Plus gated and patrolled security. Convenient to Painted Desert/Petrified Forest National Park, Homolovi State Park, Flagstaff, Winslow (Standin' on a corner - you know the rest of the Eagles song), and Meteor Crater (an expensive disappointment). Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Helpful, in our case beyond expectation. Stay here!
Tucson, Arizona
Miracle RV Park
[ 10/10 ]
We had a reservation, but arrived late in the afternoon and the office was closed. Two gentlemen relaxing outside the recreation room told us to just pick any empty space; which we did. We were to have dinner with friends and needed to freshen up. One of the gentlemen kindly let us use his key to the restrooms and showers. We only stayed one night and left early in the morning, but in the short time we were there, met some very nice people who called Miracle RV Park home. We were told that the park was the oldest in Tucson. It had a very nostalgic feel. Think Lucy and Ricky Ricardo on the road. Well kept, clean and quiet, with friendly folks. Very convenient to the University District and downtown Tucson. Not a good choice for behemoth RV's. But if your RV foot print is moderate, like ours, the Miracle RV Park is a great place to stay.
Albuquerque, New Mexico
High Desert RV Park
[ 10/10 ]
We wanted to stay on the western outskirts of Albuquerque. That is where High Desert RV Park is; on a frontage road just off, yet far enough away from I-40. The park was quiet and well maintained, the facilities (restrooms, showers, recreation room, etc.) were clean, well stocked and more than adequate. Markets were convenient several miles east on Central Ave. Our stay was short, but pleasant. Highly recommend.
Amarillo, Texas
Overnite RV Park
[ 10/10 ]
What a little jewel! Overnight RV Park caters to the RVers passing through Amarillo on the way to somewhere else. It was a wonderful stopover on our way to somewhere else. We had a reservation and were assigned a well shaded end space with a grassy area. The spaces are wide and the park is attractive and well maintained. We could not have asked for more and definitely recommend it!
Mansfield, Texas
Texan RV Ranch
[ 10/10 ]
We stayed four nights. With relatives we were visiting in Ft. Worth, Dallas, and Midlothian, the Texan RV Ranch was centrally convenient. Well maintained. Friendly and helpful staff. The pool was welcomed after a day in Texas summer heat. The store was well stocked and beverages were kept icy cold. We recommend The Texan RV Ranch for anyone visiting the Dallas-Fort Worth area. It is out in the country, but freeway close.

Steve Lay
After Solomon died, the kingdom of Israel was divided. Two young men, Jeroboam and Rehoboam, became the rulers of the two divisions. The people had been instructed to worship in Jerusalem. But Jeroboam was afraid that if his people went up to Jerusalem to worship, as God had commanded, that they would return to the rule of King Rehoboam. To keep that from happening, he built altars at Dan and Bethel and told the people they could worship at those places. Should they obey God or man?
In I Kings 13, we find that God sent a young prophet to Bethel and warned Jeroboam that God would not accept worship there. This angered King Jeroboam, and he stretched out his hand and ordered his guards to arrest the young prophet. But the king's arm withered up so that he could not pull it back. It is unwise to try to resist God!
Jeroboam asked the prophet to restore his arm, and he did. The king then told the prophet, "Come home with me and refresh yourself, and I will give you a reward." The young prophet informed the king that when God sent him there, He instructed him not to eat or drink anything, nor return by the same way he came. So, the young prophet said that he would decline even if the king were to offer him half of everything he owned. At this point, the young prophet had chosen to obey God rather than man.
So, according to God's instructions, the prophet took another route home. But on the way, an older prophet found him sitting under an oak tree and invited him to go home with him to eat. The young prophet explained that God had commanded him not to eat or drink anything in that place. But the older man (who was lying) said, "I too, am a prophet, and an angel spoke to me and told me to bring you back home and give you food and drink." The young prophet must again decide whether to obey God or man.
Believing the older man, the young prophet went home with him and ate and drank at his house. While they were sitting at the table, the Lord said, "Because you have disobeyed the word of the Lord…your corpse shall not come to the tomb of your fathers." And sure enough, on his way home, a lion killed the young prophet.
It is important for us to realize that Satan uses every available means to destroy us. Sometimes he even uses false teachers. We cannot blame God. God gives us the truth. Satan has been lying to man ever since the Garden of Eden. When someone claims to have a message from God, we had better do like the Bereans did in Acts 17:11. They searched the Scriptures daily to make sure it was God's word.
Do you just accept whatever the preacher says, without checking the Bible to make sure it is God's word? You may sincerely obey what he tells you, but if it is not God's word, it is all in vain. Many religious people in the Bible were honest and sincere, but they were wrong. The book of Acts has many examples of religious people who still needed to be converted. They had done what they thought was right, but they had not obeyed the truth, God's word (John 17:17). We must obey God, rather than man.
Throughout the Scriptures, God warns us to beware of false teachers. Only the truth can set us free from sin (John 8:32). God's word cannot be changed. The gospel is God's power to save everyone who believes (Romans 1:16), but it must be God's word that is believed (Romans 10:17). Like the young prophet, we must obey God and not the lies of men. Jesus says in Mark 16:16, "He who believes and is baptized will be saved." Man says, "No, just repeat the 'Sinner's Prayer.'" But it cannot be found in the Bible. Will you obey God or man? Make sure what you believe is what God says!

Stackable 4-Tier Shoe Rack 13 13
Shoe Rack We have used this item in our garage to store outside shoes when we come in from the garden. Keeps them up off the floor and neat. April 9, 2014
Shoe Rack It is easy to assemble and I liked the fact that you can expand it to the right to make more room for more shoes if you need the space. It is also attractive and well made. There are several problems in the design. One is that the shoe rack is very low and if you are 6 feet tall like I am it is uncomfortable to bend down to get your shoes. Two, there is no space under the rack to put things. If you raised the bottom shoe shelf 12 inches you could use the under space for storage or for more shoes. Three, since the shoe space is on a severe downward angle, if your heels are smooth on the inner edge, the shoes will not stay in place and slide off. The shoes that will stay must have a heel with the inner edge at 90 degrees or else your shoes will slide off. A solution might be to eliminate the storage angle or make it a very minor angle. Raise the height, make room under the lower shelf, and definitely eliminate the downward slope so shoes won't slide off. April 5, 2014
Great for shoes with heels I bought four of these racks and easily assembled them. One rack had a loose solder and I was going to return it but when I got it together the whole system was still strong enough. My biggest issue was the rear rack is pitched too steeply and flat shoes go flying right off. If you have heeled shoes it is fine but they need to add some friction to the rods or lessen the pitch. I'll have to get some double sticky tape! March 15, 2014
Shoe rack works It is very easy to assemble. The only problem I had is that the shoes with no heels slid off the rails. So, I just turned the rack around so the shoes would hit the wall if they slid. It fits in my closet beneath my shirts/blouses. I'm glad I bought it. March 11, 2014
Shoe Rack I purchased a 4-tier show rack months ago and loved it. I still had shoes in boxes and decided the purchase another one and stack it right on top. It doesn't take much room and I love how my shoes look on it. Would definitely recommend to a friend March 10, 2014
no more lost shoe Shoe racks were more than expected.Sturdily made and nicely finished, these racks solved the problem of keeping shoes neat and easy to find.These are the BEST. February 28, 2014
Perfect for your shoes This shoe rack is exactly as it appears in the catalog. It is very well made, very easy to put together and adjusts to any desired length. Delivery was very prompt and the price affordable. I highly recommend this item for anyone wanting to organize their shoes. November 23, 2013
Great product! Two sets got my shoes organized very well! Sturdy and easy to put together. I have them side by side in my closet, so I don't know how they perform when stacked. November 12, 2013
Stackable/expandable shoe rack Found exactly what I was looking for in this shoe rack. Being able to expand this shoe rack to fit a specific space and also able to stack one on top of the other, worked perfectly for me. Easy assembly and nicely made product. Going to recommend to family and friends. All will be pleased. October 30, 2013

Your attention to them is directly related to your interest in the subject.
With all narrated by Kelsey Grammer, the episodes are driven mostly by talking-head interviews with the principles, plus clips from the featured programs. The occasional re-enactment comes off as cheesy — especially with its sepia-toned glow and fuzzy edges — and unnecessary.
Fans of TV — and who isn't? — are likely to get nostalgic for the simpler days of the tube, but the scope of the episodes is narrower than expected or desired. For example, there were plenty of sci-fi programs that could be considered road-pavers, but only three are covered with any depth — "Star Trek," "Lost in Space" and "The Twilight Zone" — and that depth is really just a surface-scratcher, unlikely to impart any new information.
Sometimes the choices of what qualifies as "Pioneer" seem iffy: "Dragnet," absolutely; "Mannix," I'm unconvinced. The most interesting of the four discs is the one devoted to kids' shows. While you will see the likes of "Sesame Street," of course, the hour really does stress the "local," opening your eyes to some programming that may strike you as rather alien. —Rod Lott

By Rodney McKissic
When first-year UB coach Bobby Hurley is out recruiting he's often asked if his coaching touch is similar to the relentless, no-nonsense approach of his father's. The answer is no.
Some recruits have seen the 2010 documentary "The Street Stops Here" which features Bobby Hurley, Sr.'s 2007-08 St. Anthony's High School championship team in which Hurley, Sr.'s in-your-face style with his players is on full display.
There's yelling, lots of yelling, and players ran sprints while wiping the floor with towels. No one is bigger than the program as Mike Rosario learned when Hurley benched him on the day he learned he was named to the McDonald's All-American team. Rosario's offense was bad body language.
Hurley, who played for his father in the late 80s, remembers feeling his father's wrath.
"I came in with the wrong body language that he didn't like and I ran around the court for an entire practice," Hurley said. "I think I ran a mini-marathon."
But Hurley, Sr. is one of a handful of high school coaches enshrined in the Basketball Hall of Fame because he gets the most out of his players including Bobby, one of five St. Anthony's players who were drafted in the first round of the NBA."It made you tougher," Hurley said. "It made you stronger."

At today's Institute for the Future conference, Code for America's Jen Pahlka reminded me that I may have let my Internet Membership lapse. Fortunately, there is a mint-in-box Internet Membership Kit (1995) on eBay for just $120. I'd say that's a very fair price for "everything you need to cruise the Information Superhighway!" Discuss
27 Responses to "Internet Membership Kit"
Glenn Fleishman says:
Don't forget the Internet Starter Kit by Adam C. Engst, my long-time friend and colleague. The book came with a disk with a SLIP client on it, and a connection to EarthLink, which helped EarthLink get a chunk of its early customers! Good times.
David Pescovitz says:
Adam's book was great! I gifted it to several people!
I thought the one I posted was funny because of its name.
Stefan Jones says:
I remember seeing this in book stores Back In The Day, and feeling a mixture of amusement ("Wow, anyone who buys this is a gullible sucker!") to deep dismay ("Oh, great, now the Internet is going to fill up with gullible suckers.")

bcsizemo says:
When frequenting antique stores with my wife I occasionally see "old" computer books and things for sell for what I imagine to be astronomical prices…
Hobbesian says:
@Stefan: I worked for Ventana and contributed to this particular book as a layout artist and technical editor. We sold a ton of them, along with Tom Lichty's AOL Tour Guide. The people you describe as "gullible sucker(s)" might more charitably be called "nontechnical". It took a lot more doing to get on the Internet at the time, as I'm sure you'll recall.
Ipo says:
It was unbelievably difficult to get onto the information highway.
You couldn't even look on the internets how to do it. There weren't any books about it, but if there had been, how would you have ever known about them?
Ultan says:
True. In 1995 I typed "books" into Altavista and got no hits.
Ipo says:
Why would you get a book on how to get online online?
(And where did you search before AltaVista was publicly launched on December 15, 1995?)
I was just recounting how it was when I got here.
obeyken says:
That reminds of a nightmare I had last night… I dreamt that I'd let my Internet membership lapse. I was so relieved when I woke up!
mtdna says:
Dearest Obeyken, I am writing to you from my sincerest heart that your Internet membership did sorrowfully lapse. As nephew of the recently deceased King of the Republic of Chad, my heartthanks go with you, and praise that I am able to come to your aid. If you will kindly send me your banking numbers and credit card informations, along with your PayPal passwords, I will be blessed to renew your membership as soon as possible!! Your Brother in Sympathy, Prince mtdna of Chad
Andrew Singleton says:
Oh hey great mail not from Nigeria.
Michael Fraase says:
I was the author of the Internet Tour Guide that formed the backbone of this atrocity, along with Harley Hahn's Internet Yellow Pages and a pamphlet I threw together about the web and Mosaic. (The Internet Tour Guide didn't predate the web — I was running a web server on a NeXT box at the time — but it predated Mosaic.) I also brokered the deal with the regional networks for SLIP/PPP access for individuals.
Had a great editor on the project, and the editorial side folks — including Hobbesian — were all incredible. But the business side folks — the brain trust behind this gem — were, well, nevermind.
timquinn says:
After a long time I saw a glow in the distance and began to crawl toward it. It was a glowing box and what I now know to be a mouse. I reached out and touched the tiny plastic, tailed object and it clicked
The glow changed
I clicked again and it changed again. It was so . . . reassuring.
That was many years ago. The glow and I are good friends. We are never far apart. It doesn't seem that dark here anymore.
Andrew Singleton says:
May the Grue never find you then my friend.
pjcamp says:
You know, you really can't go wrong with a kit.
Does it come with AOL on GeOS?

I have Internet Explorer Kit "for Macintosh" – just the thing for someone with a mac on the internet going "Now what do I do?"

tyger11 says:
My first job upon moving to Seattle, was working as tech support for Spry, the maker of "Internet in a Box", in early 1995. I'm so glad those days are long behind me.
BadIdeaSociety says:
We used to sell these at the store I worked in during high school. After the Internet really took off, we had a bunch of them on clearance but nobody in their right mind was willing to pay the $9.95 price for what was essentially a bunch of Freeware software titles.
Doug Nelson says:
I can still remember hunkering down at a friend's appartment with the massive 1200-page "Internet Unleashed" book in early '94. It took us a few hours, but we eventually got onto the internet. Then we were all like "OK, now what?". We ended up turning off the computer and watching TV, feeling foolish that we'd been so excited over nothing.
voiceinthedistance says:
My experience mirrored yours almost exactly. I remember working well into the night to connect to the internet with my acoustically coupled modem. When I finally managed to get up and running and had Mosaic fired up, there was a huge feeling of accomplishment, followed by an even bigger letdown. All the information I'd heard about being available seemed sparse, at best. I tried accessing several academic institutions and found pretty slim pickings. Then I visited Boing Boing, and complained about it all.
Edit: I think I may have left out the middle part of my experience on the internet, as that part is somewhat hazier.
snowmentality says:
Yup. In 1992 we had one computer at my school with a connection to Prodigy. (Prodigy!) Much was made of it. When I got to use Prodigy and tried to look something up in the Prodigy encyclopedia … I got like three short sentences of information, and that was it. I remember thinking "This is stupid. There's a lot more in the Encyclopedia Britannica in the library." Trying to access the news and the almanac gave the same results. I failed to see what the big deal was.
niktemadur says:
Internet Membership Kit? Well I wouldn't want to belong to any club that would have me as a member.
Melanie says:
Oh wow, I think I had one of those, and the internet starter kit Glenn posted above. Also had something along the lines of a "for dummies" type book for using prodigy or aol, and a business book on what the internet would do for customer service. Oh! and a book on starting my own dial up BBS. But I was late to the party on that one; just as I was about to really get that going AOL and Prodigy became all the rage and I knew BBSs were going the way of the dodo.
I wonder if I still have any of these. It'd be funny to see what has changed or not over the years.
*sigh* I miss some of the stuff from that era. Even the horribly ugly websites that everyone (including me) made with the patterned backgrounds under blinking neon text, tables for layout, and under-construction signs for pages that were always "coming soon."
Excuse me while I go dig up "You've got mail" and play that bit where Meg Ryan connects to AOL and you hear all the hissy chirpy modem sounds and then AOL tells her she has mail…

Firefighters from 10 area departments responded to a Saturday morning blaze at a Brookfield grinding plant on 126th Street, just north of Burleigh Road.
Patch's media partners at WISN Channel 12 are reporting that the fire at Walenta Grinding, 3150 N. 126th St., broke out around 9 a.m. An off-duty police officer saw smoke in the area and called 911, WISN reported.
The fire was confined to one small area of the building and no injuries were reported, according to WISN. It was brought until control around 10 a.m.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that more than 10 area fire departments assisted in battling the blaze, including Sussex and Wauwatosa.
Walenta Grinding was founded in 1949 and is a centerless grinding machine shop that provides polishing and straightening services to customers throughout the Midwest.

Jeff Bercovici, Forbes Staff
I cover technology with an emphasis on social and digital media.
Critical reception of "The Newsroom," Aaron Sorkin's new HBO series set in the TV news business, has been generally cool. On Metacritic.com, which averages out reviews from all over, its score is a distinctly mediocre 57. Even those critics who've embraced it have generally done so with considerable caveats.
You wouldn't know that from ads HBO has been running to promote it, though. A two-pager that ran in last week's edition of The Hollywood Reporter, among other places, quotes breathless-sounding praise from The New York Times, Time and Salon, among two dozen outlets. Yet all three of the reviews those blurbs were drawn from were distinctly negative.
The quote from the Times, bannered atop the full width of the spread, reads: "Wit, sophistication and manic energy…A magical way with words…a lot of charm."
Times TV critical Alessandra Stanley did write those words. But she also wrote, "[A]t its worst, the show chokes on its own sanctimony," said it " suffers from the same flaw that it decries on real cable shows on MSNBC or Fox News" and called the show's central structural conceit "probably a mistake."
Time's James Poniewozik, summarizing his views on "The Newsroom" for non-subscribers, flatly declared, "I was not a fan." Yet the ad makes it sound like he was, burbling, "The pacing is electric…captures the excitement."
Salon's Willa Paskin is quoted in the ad calling "The Newsroom" "captivating, riveting, rousing." Here's what she actually wrote: "The results are a captivating, riveting, rousing, condescending, smug, infuriating mixture, a potent potion that advertises itself as intelligence-enhancing but is actually just crazy-making."
Then there's Paste's Aaron Channon, who supposedly called the show "remarkable…intelligent." Here's a more representative sampling of his review: "Compared to the standard established during the past several years by HBO and AMC, early returns on The Newsroom are disappointing."
A scandal this is not. Movie studios have been doing this sort of thing, and getting called out for it, for decades. And, to be fair, a number of the reviews quoted in the ad are genuine raves.
But twisting slams to make them sound favorable is not something HBO has done much of in the past, or needed to, with most of its shows becoming instant critical darlings. The last new HBO series to fare this poorly with critics was the short-lived "John From Cincinnati," which got a composite score of 51 on Metacritic.
Poniewozik says he doesn't ever remember the network pulling this kind of chicanery with one of his reviews. "Ironic way to promote a journalism drama," he says. He also fired off a string of tweets to this effect after I alerted him to the ad, and emailed HBO to complain.
I also emailed HBO for comment and am waiting to hear back. For the record, I've been writing about "The Newsroom" for Esquire; you can read my latest recap here.
I like the idea of the show. Who wouldn't want actual news instead of the canned BS that we get now from the "news" stations? But the characters are completely forgettable. Some are downright hyperactive. The treatment of women on the show is appalling – klutsy, irrational, headstrong, impulsive. ON the opposite end is the Leona Helmsly character who is portrayed as just a power mongering B***h. One thing Sorkin did get right is having Jane Fonda portray her. That actually makes sense since she fits right in to that role. I for one will never forget her arrogance and anti-American rants from the Vietnam war era. Because she is on the show, I will no longer be watching. I'm not missing much anyway. If I want to see something like the Newsroom, I can always watch re-runs of the West Wing, which is basically the same show with a different subject.
If you actually look at the metacritic score you'll see it was pulled down by mostly conservative newspapers and an amusing "0″ score from one rag.
The news industry doesn't take well to criticism of itself, well too bad. I want some good TV, and this is it.
I wondered if there was some type of conspiracy behind the poor rating of this great show. I'm not being sarcastic because what you said makes sense….maybe conspiracy is not the right word there…
I have never written a review of a movie or television show before. I entered the school of law the summer of 1998, terrified and had no idea what I was doing there. Nevertheless, there I was. Professor Kautch commanded that we write our first legal document, eloquently, yet succinctly. I raised my hand, and said, "Professor, we have been in law school just one week. I feel like I am ready for baby food and you are asking us to ingest steak." It got a laugh. The point is, that Newsroom is written, directed and acted as a filet mignon. This show is so mentally and emotionally stimulating, that I find myself riveted to the plot, the characters and am completely and totally stunned by each episode. I cannot imagine where it is going to go from here. So, something totally not eloquent, but terribly succinct with poor English. I am hooked. "Nuff said."
It is the dishonestly of this show that made me quit watching it. I used to watch the West Wing but in that show the President was represented as a far left liberal so I could just ignore the left leaning dribble in the speeches. However, in The Newsroom the lead character is presented as a conservative. Then the conservative person talks all of the left wing dribble. The dishonesty irritates me. I gave it two episodes – now I done with this dribble.
it's not dribble. we're far from the greatest country on earth and i love that this show is willing to call it out in blunt honesty.
Since when is Republican synonymous with "conservative"? The character of Will McAvoy is a Republican, not a conservative, and before this era of politics, they were NOT the same. Your comment highlighted perfectly what the show is getting at – disinformation pervading society so completely that lies become truths. People shouldn't DARE speak against their own party if they disagree or they're practically considered terrorists.
Any criticism of the new "radical reactionary" turn that the Republican party has taken since 9/11 is not "left wing dribble." I can't stand when genuine criticisms are written off as the "dribble" just because someone don't agree with it. What happened to the time when criticism was taken constructively? All this childish name-calling just results in stagnant politics without any reforms. Take a look at the American congress today if you want evidence! Things are falling apart and no one seems to care, or are just too blissfully blinded by the pandering to realize that things aren't going so well.
Wow, Jeff Bercovici you managed to report on a story about how HBO does what all media including yours do daily. Which is, take words out of context for spin. Only difference is HBO should be viewed for entertainment when you and the mainstream media make the news entertainment within itself. Very entertaining article now do you have anything important to write about. For those that don't like the show,maybe it's too smart for you and face paced to keep up. I think The Simpsons and Big Brother are on at the sametime.
I've been trying to figure out why all of the major broadcast and and cable news shows morphed into tepid, toothless "entertainment news" broadcasts and why CBS required Dan Rather's resignation for reporting the truth about 43′s sordid military career. "The Newsroom" offers some suggestions at least. Too bad what it has to say is that this slide into mediocrity isn't likely to end. Citizens United ended the chances of saving our representative democracy and the only question left to be answered is when will the serious violence begin.
I gave a post for this forum on Monday how come you are unwilling to show it. There was nothing bad about it in terms of profanity, it just had some conservative policy thoughts. Please send me an email of why you thought it was too viral or too dangerous to publish with the rest of these.

Not only does the Predictalator run every upcoming game 50,000 times, it plays every team against every other team to come up with the ultimate Power Rankings. The Predictalator is successful because it best accounts for actual matchups and team's abilities to exploit opponent's weaknesses using strength-of-schedule-adjusted statistics, so the Power Rankings are not necessarily the best way to know who would win between two teams. They are, however, the best possible way to measure which teams have put together the most impressive seasons. The best team may not be favored against the second-best team, but it would be favored more significantly against the rest of the teams in the sport.
To build the college football Power Rankings below, we "played" every team against every other team 50,000 times each and ranked by overall winning percentage of those games. These Power Rankings are as of (11/25/2012) rosters and projected depth charts.
In addition to the college football Power Rankings, we have also included each team's overall Offensive and Defensive rankings as well as Pass and Rush efficiency rankings relative to the league based on our strength-of-schedule-adjusted statistics and current rosters.
2012 College Football Team Rankings (11/25/2012)
The Predictalator is the most advanced sports forecasting software available today because it has the ability to account for all of the relevant statistical interactions of the players (playing or not playing/injured), coaches, officials, fans (home field advantage) and weather in each game.

New book The World Cup of Soups features savory soups from thirty-two teams that qualified for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
British Columbia, Canada (PRWEB) July 14, 2014
Chef Mark Alan Scott has been a great chef for 30 years and has found that one of his passions is making simple yet delicious soups. He is a fan of football and soccer, and has been an avid follower of the FIFA World Cup. As the 2014 World Cup is fast approaching, Chef Scott comes up with The World Cup of Soups, a cookbook that displays both his passion for football and something that he is really good atcooking.
Soups have been the strongest part of Scotts cooking. In The World Cup of Soups, he introduces an interesting twist to his forte to entertain readers. The thirty-two qualifiers are featured in the cookbook, each with its own recipe. To name a few, the sumptuous Black Bean and Chicken Soup was created for Brazil, Groundnut and Chicken Soup for Cameroon, Dutch Potato and Bacon Soup for Netherlands, Spicy Seafood Soup for Chile and Caldo Gallego for the number one team, Spain.
Scotts soups use homemade stocks, vegetables, garlic and pepper. Scotts original concept was to do a cookbook of soups strictly from the teams that qualified, but later on, he decided to include information about making stocks in order to make these soups as tasty as possible. All his soups, except for one, are of the cooked nature. The only cold soup in the book is for the brilliant Spanish National Team that won two European championships and the last World Cup.
The premise of The World Cup of Soups is to celebrate the greatest sporting event in the world. These recipes were also collated to encourage football fans and soccer enthusiasts who are also soup lovers to have fun making the best soup concoctions from all over the world. Scott invites readers to prepare one recipe at a time, for nothing warms a chilly day like a bowl of flavorful soup.

DALLAS, N.C. -- A Gaston County woman has been charged with rape after officials say she set up one of her friends to be sexually assaulted while caring for the victim's two children last June. The alleged rapist, however, is still on the loose.
Jeannette Valero Vazquez, 47, was arrested Wednesday on first-degree kidnapping and first-degree rape charges. Police say Vazquez set up the rape with the second woman and 33-year-old Carlos Sanchez Romero on June 20 at Vazquez's house.
The victim--who had known Vazquez for about five years--was allegedly tricked to go into a basement room to look at pictures where Romero was waiting. Officials say Romero then locked the a door and raped the woman.
While the rape was happening, Vazquez allegedly took the victim's two kids, ages four and one-and-a-half, out of the home.
Detectives are still trying to find Romero, who may be a relative of Vazquez. He is believed to be in the area. Police say Romero is likely driving a black and silver Ford F150 with Florida plates AINE93.
Vazquez is at the Gaston County Jail on a $1 million bond.
If you have any information on the whereabouts of Romero, you are asked to call 911 immediately.

text: They say: "America's first motorcycle."We say: "Now built under British rule!" They say: "America's first motorcycle." We say: "Now built under British rule!" Riding west toward the Appalachian foothills from Indian's new home in Kings Mountain, North Carolina, one thing is immediately clear: The new Indian Chief is one of the most comfortable American V-twin cruisers built. The riding position is relaxed, with your legs stretched comfortably forward, though not so far as to sacrifice control. The high-quality, low-slung leather saddle is firm yet accommodating, and admirably prevented numb-bum syndrome even after 200 miles. Though it's a reach to the pullback handlebars, it's not disagreeable, and the controls feel great-even if clutch action is a tad stiff. The Chief is a very pleasant bike to pass miles on, just as a cruiser should be. The newly relaunched Indian, now led by British-born Chairman Stephen Julius, offers four variations of its basic Chief platform. In addition to the Standard we tested, there's the Deluxe with a higher-spec trim package and traditional, deep-welled fenders; the light-touring Roadmaster with windshield and soft bags; and the top-of-the-line, ultra-retro Vintage. All four models share the same steel-tube frame, suspension, running gear and 105-cubic-inch Powerplus V-twin. Outfitted with closed-loop, sequential-port electronic fuel injection and paired to a Baker six-speed transmission, the Powerplus mill has a lazy, loping manner synonymous with the American V-twin experience. A hefty, 1.5-kilowatt starter motor instantly fires the 1720cc twin, which settles into a lilting rumble that sounds both muscular and pleasing. The engine feels quiet and refined in operation, with minimal mechanical noise, and while the six-speed transmission has a rather noisy shift action, it works well with the standard heel-and-toe lever. A meaty torque curve and optimum fueling help the Standard accelerate so well off the mark that you'd never guess it weighs a claimed 738 pounds dry. Of course, the tradeoff for such impressive low-end power is top-end speed. Top-gear roll-ons from 60 mph on up felt sluggish compared to other American V-twins of equivalent displacement; you need to kick it down a gear to get anything resembling acceleration. The Chief isn't gutless, but expect to work the gearbox if you want to keep your speed up. Without a counterbalancer, vibration from the solid-mounted, 45-degree V-twin is also an issue. At 2600 rpm (which equates to 70 mph in sixth gear) vibes invade the floorboards (but not the seat or bars), and by the 5000-rpm power peak become unbearable-especially compared to, say, a counterbalanced Harley-Davidson Twin Cam motor. Round cylinder heads-recalling vintage Indians of yesteryear-are the Powerplus engine's defining characteristic. Stainless, 2-into-1 exhaust hides its catalytic converter nicely. Round cylinder heads-recalling vintage Indians of yesteryear-are the Powerplus engine's de Full fenders, two-tone paint, fringed saddlebags, metal tank badges and numerous other trim changes distinguish the $35,499 Vintage. Full fenders, two-tone paint, fringed saddlebags, metal tank badges and numerous other tri Turn your attention to handling, however, and the Chief compares favorably to any other cruiser, with taut, precise steering that is surely aided by the rigid-mounted motor (though rubber mounts might cancel some vibes). In spite of minimal, 2.9-inch rear-wheel travel, the Chief shrugs off freeway expansion joints and cracks in the pavement well. The Paioli fork proved very compliant, if softly sprung, and the Brembo brakes deliver outstanding stopping power. Michelin Commander tires grip well enough to confidently deck the left footboard or right-side exhaust clamp under moderately enthusiastic cornering. All things considered, test boss Jean-Marc David (formerly of Victory) did a fine job R&Ding the Chief. Performance and handling are well and good, but the amount of attention the Chief attracts is an even better measure of the new Indian experience. Not since I rode a prototype MV Agusta F4 750 more than a decade ago has a motorcycle provoked so much open-mouthed gawking. Indian owners surely will have to get used to passersby pointing at the Chief and remarking favorably on its classic American lines. This might be the ultimate "hey-look-at-me" ride. There's no disputing the Indian Chief has significant presence, whether from the curb or the saddle. And the huge, chromed headlight shell flanked by twin spotlights conveys an undeniable sense of status. The overriding impression after my day aboard the '09 Indian Chief is how well made it is. Build quality is very high-just look at the deep, richly polished acres of chrome, the lustrous, smooth paint job with beautifully applied pinstriping and decals, and especially all that luxurious leatherwork.

Sarfraz Manzoor in The Telegraph, London:
Mahinder Singh Pujji, a 22-year-old Indian man, was queuing to see a film at his local cinema. The man in front of him saw his turban and uniform – Pujji was a member of the RAF – and said: "Sir, you don't have to stand in the queue." He ushered him to the front of the line. No one grumbled and the woman working in the ticket office, again seeing his turban and wings, refused to accept money for the ticket.
This incident would be surprising and heart-warming if it occurred today; in fact, the film that Pujji was queuing to see was Gone with the Wind, and the year was 1940. What makes this story so powerful is that it challenges established narratives about south Asian migration to Britain: it shows us that years before Commonwealth immigration there had been migrants from the subcontinent; it questions the assumption that migrants were always treated poorly, and it reminds us of the contribution many made.
South Asians and the Shaping of Britain excavates the archives for letters, diaries, books and articles relating to this subject. Taking the year 1870 – the zenith of empire – as the starting point and traversing 80 years to 1950 – a period that witnessed two world wars, the decline of empire, the fight for Indian independence and Partition – the book demonstrates that Britain has a more complex multicultural heritage than is usually acknowledged.
