Blue-eyed boy : a memoir Timberg, Robert, author.
"From journalist Robert Timberg, a memoir of the struggle to reclaim his life after being severely burned as a Marine lieutenant in Vietnam. In January 1967, Robert Timberg was a short-timer, counting down the days until his combat tour ended. He had thirteen days to go when his vehicle struck a Viet Cong land mine, resulting in third-degree burns of his face and much of his body. He survived, barely, then began the arduous battle back, determined to build a new life and make it matter. Remarkable as was his return to health--he endured no less than thirty-five operations--perhaps more remarkable was his decision to reinvent himself as a journalist, one of the most public of professions. Blue-Eyed Boy is a gripping, occasionally comic account of what it took for an ambitious man, aware of his frightful appearance but hungry for meaning and accomplishment, to master a new craft amid the pitying stares and shocked reactions of many he encountered on a daily basis. Timberg was at the top of his game as White House correspondent for The Baltimore Sun when suddenly his work brought his life full circle: the Iran-Contra scandal broke. At its heart were three fellow Naval Academy graduates and Vietnam-era veterans. Timberg's coverage of that story resulted in his first book, The Nightingale's Song, a powerful work of narrative nonfiction that follows the three academy graduates most deeply involved in Iran-Contra--Oliver North among them--as well as two other well-known Navy men, John McCain and James Webb, from the academy through Vietnam and into the Reagan years. In Blue-Eyed Boy, Timberg relates how he came to know these five men and how their stories helped him understand the ways the Vietnam War and the furor that swirled around it continue to haunt the nation, even now, nearly four decades after its dismal conclusion. Timberg is no saint, and he has traveled a hard and often bitter road. In facing his own remarkable life with the same tools of wisdom, human empathy, and storytelling grit he brought to his journalism, he has produced one of the most moving and important memoirs of our time"--

Desert queen : the extraordinary life of Gertrude Bell, adventurer, adviser to kings, ally of Lawrence of Arabia Wallach, Janet, 1942-
Turning away from the privileged world of the "eminent Victorians," Gertrude Bell (1868-1926) explored, mapped, and excavated the world of the Arabs. Recruited by British intelligence during World War I, she played a crucial role in obtaining the loyalty of Arab leaders, and her connections and information provided the brains to match T. E. Lawrence's brawn. After the war, she played a major role in creating the modern Middle East and was, at the time, considered the most powerful woman in the British Empire. In this biography, Janet Wallach shows us the woman behind these achievements - a woman whose passion and defiant independence were at odds wit the confined and custom-bound England she left behind. Too long eclipsed by Lawrence, Gertrude Bell emerges at last in her own right as a vital player on the stage of modern history, and as a woman whose life was both a heartbreaking story and a grand adventure.

Grandma Gatewood's walk : the inspiring story of the woman who saved the Appalachian Trail Montgomery, Ben.
"Emma Gatewood told her family she was going on a walk and left her small Ohio hometown with a change of clothes and less than two hundred dollars. The next anybody heard from her, this genteel, farm-reared, 67-year-old great-grandmother had walked 800 miles along the 2,050-mile Appalachian Trail. And in September 1955, having survived a rattlesnake strike, two hurricanes, and a run-in with gangsters from Harlem, she stood atop Maine's Mount Katahdin. There she sang the first verse of "America, the Beautiful" and proclaimed, "I said I'll do it, and I've done it." Grandma Gatewood, as the reporters called her, became the first woman to hike the entire Appalachian Trail alone, as well as the first person--man or woman--to walk it twice and three times. Gatewood became a hiking celebrity and appeared on TV and in the pages of Sports Illustrated. The public attention she brought to the little-known footpath was unprecedented. Her vocal criticism of the lousy, difficult stretches led to bolstered maintenance, and very likely saved the trail from extinction. Author Ben Montgomery was given unprecedented access to Gatewood's own diaries, trail journals, and correspondence, and interviewed surviving family members and those she met along her hike, all to answer the question so many asked: Why did she do it? The story of Grandma Gatewood will inspire readers of all ages by illustrating the full power of human spirit and determination."--
A very principled boy : the life of Duncan Lee, Red spy and cold warrior Bradley, Mark A. (Mark Andrew), 1956-
"Duncan Chaplain Lee was an unlikely traitor. A Rhodes Scholar, patriot, and descendant of one of America's most distinguished families, he was also a communist sympathizer who used his position as aid to intelligence chief "Wild Bill" Donovan to leak critical information to the Soviets during World War II. As intelligence expert Mark A. Bradley reveals, Lee was one of Stalin's most valuable moles in U.S. intelligence, passing the KGB vital information on everything from the D-Day invasion to America's plans for postwar Europe. Outwitting both J. Edgar Hoover and Senator Joseph McCarthy, he escaped detection again and again, dying a free man before authorities could prove his guilt. A fast-paced cat-and-mouse tale of misguided idealism and high treason, A Very Principled Boy draws on thousands of previously unreleased CIA and State Department records to reveal the riveting story of one of the greatest traitors of the twentieth century"--
On the edge : my story Hammond, Richard, 1969-
Price of fame : the Honorable Clare Boothe Luce Morris, Sylvia Jukes.
This concluding volume of the life of an exceptionally brilliant polymath chronicles Luce's progress from her days in Congress. Elected in 1943, she became the only female member of the House Military Affairs Committee, toured the Western Front and visited concentration camps within days of their liberation. Attracting nationwide attention, she lobbied for relaxed immigration policies for Asians and displaced European Jews, as well as equal rights for women and blacks. Following Hiroshima, she became a passionate advocate of nuclear arms control. But in 1946, she gave up her House seat, convinced that politics was "the refuge of second-class minds." She soon emerged as a formidable television personality, campaigning so spectacularly for Eisenhower that he made her ambassador to Italy. She took an uncompromising attitude toward Italy's Communist Party, then was stricken by a mysterious case of poisoning that the CIA kept secret. She went on to become a prolific journalist and magnetic public speaker, as well as a playwright, screenwriter, pioneer scuba diver, early experimenter in psychedelic drugs, and grande dame of the GOP in the Reagan era. Tempestuously married to Henry Luce, the publisher of Time Inc., she endured his infidelities while pursuing her own, and remained a practiced vamp well into old age. In later years she strengthened friendships with countless celebrities who visited her lavish Honolulu retreat. In 1973, she was appointed by Nixon to the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board, a position she continued to hold in the Ford and Reagan administrations. Her death at 84 ended a life that qualifies Clare Boothe Luce for the title of "Woman of the Century."--From publisher description.
The other side : a memoir Johnson, Lacy M., 1978-

She escaped, but not unscathed. The Other Side is the haunting account of a first passionate and then abusive relationship, the events leading to Johnson's kidnapping and imprisonment, her dramatic escape, and her hard-fought struggle to recover. At once thrilling, terrifying, harrowing, and hopeful, The Other Side offers more than just a true crime record. In language both stark and poetic, Johnson weaves together a richly personal narrative with police reports, psychological evaluations, and neurobiological investigations, provoking both troubling and timely questions about gender roles and the epidemic of violence against women"--

Much has already been written about Armstrong and the major players who helped him fly to the moon, but he wanted this book to emphasize his two passions--family and flight. Barbree and Armstrong discussed everything, from his two marriages and the death of his baby daughter, to his love of flying, the war years and of course, his time in space. The book, timed to coincide with the 45th anniversary of the Apollo 11 launch and full of never-before-seen photos, includes many personal details that have never before been written, such as what Armstrong really felt when he took that first step on the moon, what life in NASA was like, his relationships with the other astronauts, and what he felt the future of space exploration should be"--

The search for Anne Perry : the hidden life of a bestselling crime writer Drayton, Joanne.
"In 1994, director Peter Jackson released the movie Heavenly Creatures, based on a famous 1950s matricide committed in New Zealand by two teenage girls embroiled in an obsessive relationship. The movie launched Jackson's international career. It also forever changed the life of Anne Perry, an award-winning, bestselling crime writer, who at the time of the movie's release was publicly outed at Juliet Hulme, one of the murderers. A new light was now cast, not only on Anne's life but also on her novels, which feature gruesome and violent deaths and confront dark issues, including infanticide and incest. Acclaimed literary biographer Joanne Drayton was given unparalleled access to Anne Perry, her friends, relatives, colleagues, and archives to complete this book. She intersperses the story of her life with an examination of her writing, drawing parallels between Perry's own experiences and her characters and storylines. Anne Perry's books deal with miscarriages of justice, family secrets exposed, punishment, redemption, and forgiveness, themes made all the more poignant in light of her past. She has sold 25 million books worldwide and published in 15 different languages, yet she will now forever be known as a murderer who became a writer of murder stories. The Search for Anne Perry is a gripping account of a life, and provides understanding of the girl Anne was, the adult she became, her compulsion to write, and her view of the world. "--
Glow : the autobiography of Rick James James, Rick, 1948-2004, author.
"Best known for his song "Super Freak," hitmaker, singer, innovator, producer, award-winning pioneer in the fusion of funk groove and rock, the late Rick James collaborated with music biographer David Ritz in this posthumously published, wildly entertaining, and profound expression of a rock star's life and soul. He was the nephew of Temptations singer Melvin Franklin, a boy who watched and listened, mesmerized from underneath cocktail tables at the shows of Etta James and Miles Davis. He was a vagrant hippie who wandered to Toronto, where he ended up playing with Neil Young and Joni Mitchell, and he became a household name in the 1980s with his hit song "Super Freak." Later in life, he was a bad boy who got caught up in drug smuggling and ended up in prison. But since his passing in August 2004, Rick James has remained a legendary icon whose name is nearly synonymous with funk music--and who popularized the genre, creating a lasting influence on pop artists from Prince to Jay-Z to Snoop Dogg, among countless others. In Glow, Rick James and acclaimed music biographer David Ritz collaborated to write a no-holds-barred memoir about the boy and the man who became a music superstar in America's disco age. It tells of James's upbringing and how his mother introduced him to musical geniuses of the time. And it reveals details on many universally revered artists, from Marvin Gaye and Prince to Nash, Teena Marie, and Berry Gordy. James himself said, "My journey has taken me through hell and back. It's all in my music--the parties, the pain, the oversized ego, the insane obsessions." But despite his bad boy behavior, James was a tremendous talent and a unique, unforgettable human being. His "glow" was an overriding quality that one of his mentors saw in him--and one that will stay with this legendary figure who left an indelible mark on American popular music"--
Last train to Memphis : the rise of Elvis Presley Guralnick, Peter.
"From the moment that he first shook up the world in the mid 1950s, Elvis Presley has been one of the most vivid and enduring myths of American culture." "Last Train to Memphis: The Rise of Elvis Presley is the first biography to go past that myth and present an Elvis beyond the legend. Based on hundreds of interviews and nearly a decade of research, it traces the evolution not just of the man but of the music and of the culture he left utterly transformed, creating a completely fresh portrait of Elvis and his world." "This volume tracks the first twenty-four years of Elvis' life, covering his childhood, the stunning first recordings at Sun Records ("That's All Right," "Mystery Train"), and the early RCA hits ("Heartbreak Hotel," "Hound Dog," "Don't Be Cruel"). These were the years of his improbable self-invention and unprecedented triumphs, when it seemed that everything that Elvis tried succeeded wildly. There was scarcely a cloud in sight through this period until, in 1958, he was drafted into the army and his mother died shortly thereafter. The book closes on that somber and poignant note." "Last Train to Memphis takes us deep inside Elvis' life, exploring his lifelong passion for music of every sort (from blues and gospel to Bing Crosby and Mario Lanza), his compelling affection for his family, and his intimate relationships with girlfriends, mentors, band members, professional associates, and friends. It shows us the loneliness, the trustfulness, the voracious appetite for experience, and above all the unshakable, almost mystical faith that Elvis had in himself and his music. Drawing frequently on Elvis' own words and on the recollections of those closest to him, the book offers an emotional, complex portrait of young Elvis Presley with a depth and dimension that for the first time allow his extraordinary accomplishments to ring true."--BOOK JACKET.

Big little man : in search of my Asian self Tizon, Alex.
"Why do so many people find Asian women sexy but Asian men sexless? Alex Tizon's family emigrated from the Philippines when he was four. He quickly learned to be ashamed of his face, his color, his physical size. In movies and on television he saw Asian men as 'servants, villains, or geeks, one-dimensional, powerless, sneaky little men.' His fierce and funny observations of sex and the Asian American male include the story of his own college life in the 1980s, a tortured tutorial on just how little sex appeal accrued to the Asian man. And then, two transformations. First, Tizon's growing understanding that shame is universal, that his own just happened to take racial shape. Next, seismic cultural changes--from Xiu Xiang's 2004 Olympic gold-winning sprint, to Jerry Yang's phenomenal success with Yahoo! Inc., to Keanu Reeves' leading-man status in The Matrix--that draw him out of his exile. Finally, Tizon's deeply original, taboo-bending investigation turns outward, tracking the unheard stories of young men today, in a landscape still complex but much changed for the Asian American man"--
A long way home : [a memoir] Brierley, Saroo, author.
This is the miraculous and triumphant story of a young man who rediscovers not only his childhood life and home, but an identity long-since left behind. At only five years old, Saroo Brierley got lost on a train in India. Unable to read or write or recall the name of his hometown or even his own last name, he survived alone for weeks on the rough streets of Calcutta before ultimately being transferred to an agency and adopted by a couple in Australia. Despite his gratitude, he always wondered about his origins. Eventually, with the advent of Google Earth, he had the opportunity to look for the needle in a haystack he once called home, and pore over satellite images for landmarks he might recognize or mathematical equations that might further narrow down the labyrinthine map of India. One day, after years of searching, he miraculously found what he was looking for and set off to find his family. This is a true story of survival and triumph against incredible odds. It celebrates the importance of never letting go of what drives the human spirit: hope. When the author used Google Earth to find his long-lost birthplace half a world away, his story made global headlines. That story is being published in several languages around the world and is currently being adapted into a major feature film. The author was born in Khandwa, Madhya Pradesh, India. He currently lives in Hobart, Tasmania. -- Provided by publisher.
Scalia : a court of one Murphy, Bruce Allen, author.
"This is the compelling story of one of the most polarizing figures ever to serve on the nation's highest court. Antonin Scalia knew only success in the first fifty years of his life. His sterling academic and legal credentials led him to the Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit in 1982. Just four years later, he outmaneuvered the more senior Robert Bork to the Supreme Court. Scalia's legal brilliance and personal magnetism led everyone to predict he would unite a new conservative majority and change American law in the process. The prediction was half right: he did alter the legal landscape through his theories of textualism and originalism, but his conservatism was informed as much by his traditional Catholicism and conservative partisanship as by his reading of the constitution. By alienating swing justices Sandra Day O'Connor and Anthony Kennedy, he prevented the conservative majority from coalescing for nearly two decades. Breaking with the tradition that justices should speak only through their decisions, he tested the Court's ethical boundaries with opinionate speeches and contentious public appearances, turning the institution into a partisan target"--From publisher description.

At eighteen, Sarah Payne Stuart fled her mother and all the other disapproving mothers of her too perfect hometown of Concord, Massachusetts, only to return years later when she had children of her own. Whether to defy the previous generation or finally earn their approval and enter their ranks, she hurled herself into upper-crust domesticity full throttle. In the twenty years Stuart spent back in her hometown-in a series of ever more magnificent houses in ever grander neighborhoods-she was forced to connect with the cultural tradition of guilt and flawed parenting of a long legacy of local, literary women from Emerson's wife, to Hawthorne's, to the most famous and imposing of them all, Louisa May Alcott's iconic, guilt-tripping Marmee. When Stuart's own mother dies, she realizes that there is no one left to approve or disapprove. And so, with her suddenly grown children fleeing as she herself once did, Stuart leaves her hometown for the final time, bidding good-bye to the cozy ideals invented for her by Louisa May Alcott so many years ago, which may or may not ever have been based in reality"--

A lasting friendship sustained their fledgling business, which grew into the international success of Amway. In addition to stories of his business success, DeVos shares candidly about his marriage and family, his experiences as a motivational speaker and author, his ownership of the NBA's Orlando Magic, and his philanthropic, reli-gious, and political endeavors.

Good hunting : an American spymaster's story Devine, Jack, 1940-
"A master class in spycraft from one of its greatest practitioners. Jack Devine is one of the legendary spymasters of our time. He was in Chile when Allende fell, he ran Charlie Wilson's war in Afghanistan, he had too much to do with Iran-Contra for his own taste, though he tried to stop it, he caught Pablo Escobar in Colombia, he tried to warn George Tenet that there was a bullet coming from Iraq with his name on it. Devine served America's interests for more than thirty years in a wide range of covert operations, ultimately overseeing the Directorate of Operations, a CIA division that watches over thousands of American covert operatives worldwide. Good Hunting is his guide to the art of spycraft, told with great wit, candor, and commonsense wisdom. Caricatured by Hollywood, lionized by the right, and pilloried by the left, the CIA remains one of the least understood instruments of the United States government. Devine knows more than almost anyone about the CIA's vital importance as a tool of American statecraft. Now, as he sees it, the agency is trapped within a larger bureaucracy, losing swaths of turf to the military and, most ominous of all, being transformed into a paramilitary organization. Its capacity to do what it does best has been seriously degraded. In wonderfully readable prose, Good Hunting aims to set the record straight. This is a revelatory inside look at an organization whose history has not been given its real due"--

Salinger. She spends her days in a plush, wood-paneled office, where Dictaphones and typewriters still reign and old-time agents doze at their desks after martini lunches. At night she goes home to the tiny, threadbare Williamsburg apartment she shares with her socialist boyfriend. Precariously balanced between glamour and poverty, surrounded by titanic personalities, and struggling to trust her own artistic instinct, Rakoff is tasked with answering Salinger's voluminous fan mail. But as she reads the candid, heart-wrenching letters from his readers around the world, she finds herself unable to type out the agency's decades-old form response. Instead, drawn inexorably into the emotional world of Salinger's devotees, she abandons the template and begins writing back. Over the course of the year, she finds her own voice by acting as Salinger's, on her own dangerous and liberating terms" --
Margarita Wednesdays : making a new life by the Mexican sea Rodriguez, Deborah.

The extraordinary life of Rebecca West Gibb, Lorna.
Numerous biographies have been published about the England-born author, journalist, and critic Cicely Isabel Fairfield (1892-1983), otherwise known as Rebecca West. But Gibb offers a fresh look at a writer who was ahead of her time in the early 20th century. West ("The Return of the Soldier") had many successes but also experienced heartache and struggle. While she lived an accomplished career, had many love affairs, including one with H.G. Wells that produced an illegitimate son, and was wed for over three decades to banker Henry Maxwell Andrews, she also encountered a challenging childhood, a strained relationship with her son, and issues in her marriage. Gibb's passion for her subject is illustrated in the writing's rich detail, readers feel like they're witnessing the described accounts firsthand. Using West's correspondences and personal papers, media interviews, and conversations with the writer's friends and employees, the author captures West's point of view and describes how this complicated individual interpreted her relationships and experiences.
What it takes : fighting for my life and my love of the game Herzlich, Mark.
" In 2011, Mark Herzlich became a starting linebacker for a New York Giants team that would win the Super Bowl-just two years after he had been told that he would never play football again. Now Herzlich tells his triumphant story for the first time. As a child, Herzlich found an inspiring and grounding force in football, eventually turning his passion into a first-team All-American spot at Boston College. But after being named the conference's top defensive player his junior season, the budding star was sidelined by a persistent, debilitating pain in his left leg. After months of tests, Herzlich received a shocking diagnosis: He had Ewing's sarcoma, a rare bone cancer. Doctors put his odds of survival as low as fifteen percent-and no one thought he would be able to run, much less play, again. Then Herzlich learned of a radical alternative treatment that would give him the best chance to regain his strength and maybe even play football again. He had a choice to make, one that would allow him the chance to return to the game he loved, but it came at the risk of his life. Herzlich relied on family, friends, faith, and deep wells of determination to help him through treatment, and his drastic plan worked. Not only could he run, but he was stronger than ever physically, and mentally ready to battle his way to a spot on an NFL roster. When he was passed over by all 32 teams in the draft, he dug deeper and continued his training, winning a spot in the Giants' training camp, and eventually, on the team. Mark Herzlich fought a battle against cancer, against statistics, and some days against himself. Told with candor and raw emotion, this is a story for anyone who has ever fought to beat the odds, for anyone who has ever been told that what they are about to attempt is next to impossible. Herzlich's story embodies powerful lessons about what can be achieved through persistence and belief, and he serves as living proof that overcoming the impossible is only the beginning. With a foreword by New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin"--

J.D. Salinger : the escape artist Beller, Thomas, author.
"Three years after his death at ninety-one, J.D. Salinger remains our most mythic writer. The Catcher in the Rye (1951) became an American classic, and he was for a long time the writer for The New Yorker. Franny and Zooey and Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters introduced, by way of the Glass family, a new type in contemporary literature: the introspective, voluble cast of characters whose stage is the Upper East Side of New York. But fame proved a burden, and in 1963 Salinger fled to New Hampshire, spending the next half century in isolation. Beller has followed his subject's trail, from his Park Avenue childhood to his final refuge, barnstorming across New England to visit various Salinger shrines, interviewing just about everyone alive who ever knew Salinger. The result is a quest biography in the tradition of Geoff Dyer's Out of Sheer Rage, a book as much about the biographer as about the subject--two vivid, entertaining stories in one"--

The provisions of the U.S.A. Patriot Act, which is an antiterrorism bill that was passed in the immediate wake of the Sept. 11 tragedies, can have a negative impact on American civil liberties, such as the right to privacy and the freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures. In addition, the Patriot Act places new limitations on a terror suspect's right to consult with a lawyer, and it makes allowances for detention of suspected terrorists without trial. Many of these provisions could be seen as contraventions of the rights of due process and trial by jury. Critics of the Patriot Act see these as negative developments (and sometimes as informed by sinister motives), while supporters argue that the greater good of obstructing terrorism outweighs these minor reductions to the number of civil liberties we enjoy. These civil liberties would be reduced even if all investigators were to follow the rules, but, of course, some members of the law enforcement community have misused the powers afforded to them by the Patriot Act.
An FBI internal investigation revealed at least 1,000 cases of misuse of National Security Letters (NSLs) between 2002 and 2007, after the Patriot Act loosened the rules on NSLs [source: Solomon]. There are also cases in which the provisions of the Patriot Act have been used to catch mere drug sellers (as opposed to the potential terrorists that the bill is supposed to target), to collect financial information about Las Vegas visitors who had committed no known crimes, and even to clear homeless people out of railway stations [sources: Associated Press, Lichtblau, Dunham]. Critics of the Patriot Act contend that these examples only point to many the possible abuses of the act, and the lack of judicial review and other checks and balances makes it too easy for this misuse to continue.

Rough Riders Prepare for Thunder Road Debut
When Thursday night events start at Barre's Thunder Road this Thursday, June 20, there will be a new twist on the Nation's Site of Excitement's racing card: The Rough Riders are coming to town.
The Rough Riders, are a division of 6-cylinder cars, ten years old or older, designed to introduce competitors to racing in a way that is cheap, simple, and most of all, fun. The cars will be painted with family friendly themes, and will have their first event of 2013 on the high banks this Thursday, June 20.
Part of the fun will be some good old-fashioned father-son competition from the most recent pair of entries sent in by Justin and Randy Johnson. Justin, who is just 18 years of age, will be racing with his father Randy for the first time.

I've been pounding my head against the wall with what I see as a very simple task.
Quick background:
- I am using URL Rewrite with IIS7
- I am using a Rewrite Map to map
/Error(among many others).
- I have the
<customErrors>config element set to "On" (to test locally) and the
defaultRedirectset to "~/ErrorPage.aspx".
- Framework 3.5
My issue is two-fold:
- The rewrite to
/Erroris not working, even though every other rewrite on the site is working.
- When an exception occurs, the URL shows
I'm not concerned about the errorpath because I'm catching the detailed exception message(s) sufficiently.
I read in Another Overflow Post that adding a query string to the
defaultRedirect would get rid of the aspxerrorpath (which it did), but the actual rewrite is still not occurring.
Is there not a way to simply rewrite or redirect to
/Error and actually display my error page?
I tried creating a rewrite rule to get rid of the aspxerrorpath, but it never succeeds.
<rule name="RewriteUserFriendlyURL3" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^([^/]+)/?$" />
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
<action type="Redirect" url="ErrorPage.aspx?aspxerrorpath={R:1}" />
And then I attempted a separate one when appending the query string to the
<rule name="RewriteUserFriendlyURL3" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$" />
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="ErrorPage.aspx?{R:1}={R:2}" />
But, alas, neither is working.
I was, however, able to implement a 404 rewrite for my
PageNotFound.aspx using the
<httpErrors> config element, alongside my Rewrite Map. It correctly rewrites to
/PageNotFound. Is there a way to do this for the ErrorPage for all exceptions?
<httpErrors errorMode="Custom">
<clear />
<error statusCode="404" responseMode="Redirect" path="PageNotFound" />
I feel like I must be missing something very simply and basic.

Good news! Masterside has agreed to compile my menus for me! He is known for his excellent horror Crysis Wars mod "Dead Corridor" so I have no doubt he will nail this!! I will keep everyone posted as to when this will be complete.
McKool proudly presents the full version of The Mutant Factor, a single player modification for Crysis and Crysis Wars. This is a new single player campaign with a completely different story and a new set of characters. The Mutant Factor is heavily influenced by the Half-Life, Crysis, and F.E.A.R series of games. The player takes the roll of Phoenix, who is sent to investigate strange energy readings at a remote North Korean facility. While on the island, he begins seeing visions of his long lost daughter, Tara, which starts a cascading spiral between reality and possible insanity.After a horrific and bloody battle, he awakens to find himself trapped in an underground facility with only the voice of Dr. Marie Shepherd to guide him out....or is she the only voice? Ask yourself: Do you trust her?
We're in the final stages of beta testing so I thought I would provide some more info regarding what to expect with the full version of the mod.I also want to put a feeler out there for help with the UI.
Posted by mckool on Feb 16th, 2012
Changes from the demo:
Currently, I am almost finished with beta testing and I'm pleased to announce that we have found no show-stopping bugs at this point.
And now my plea for help!
I need help from someone who has experience customizing the Crysis menus. This should be a fairly simple task as I only want to accomplish the following:
I promise that your name will appear in the credits of the mod. I will claim no work that is not my own. Please send me a message on modDB if you can help! I would like to release this mod ASAP but I want it to look as professional and work as well as it possibly can! If I don't have any responses soon then I will release the mod "as is" for both versions of Crysis. Once I have a response, I will be able to accurately determine a release date.
As always, enjoy a new pic!
Good news! Masterside has agreed to compile my menus for me! He is known for his excellent horror Crysis Wars mod "Dead Corridor" so I have no doubt he will nail this!! I will keep everyone posted as to when this will be complete.

So I have a private messages model which has the columns:
content, and
I want to select the last 5 recipients I have messaged. However, I can't figure out how to narrow down the columns.
My current query is this:
SELECT DISTINCT recipient_id, created_at FROM private_messages WHERE sender_id = :user_id ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT 5
I can't get rid of the created_at column since it's necessary for the
ORDER BY. I must be missing something, but I'm not entirely sure what it is.

Ask And Answer Sites: Can They Benefit You?
Kaila StrongJanuary 06, 2009Link Building, The Basics
Marketing online for big or small websites can become daunting if you don't randomize your approaches. A social marketing campaign, varied in its approaches, will give your client better results in achieving search engine domination. Using question and answer sites can prove to be beneficial if using them properly.
You might be asking yourself how on earth these question and answer sites could help in SEO or link building efforts. Q&A sites allow you to establish yourself as an expert in your field. Most sites require you to sign up, make a profile, and earn points to advance in expertise levels. Answering questions provides you with more points than asking questions, and signing in daily can also add to your points. As you become an expert your answers are more likely to be chosen as the top answers, and your status elevates accordingly. In your answers, you are also able to add no-follow links back to the resources you used to gain your knowledge. Placing your web address, or a client's web address, in this allotted space has the potential of being seen by many viewers if your answer is chosen as the best.
The key with Q&A sites is to look at them as resources for potential clients searching for answers. Do you work in the automotive industry? Think about the questions your potential client might ask such as, "What is a hella light?", "How do I find the best deal on purchasing a car?", or "My car makes a funny noise, what should I do?". These are all opportunities for you, as an expert, to help guide them to your website. It is a slow and steady race, but the more varied you are in your approaches the better overall result.
Try to stick to niche Q&A sites if you want the biggest impact for your effort. Also important, however, is the page rank of each site. You want to be seen not only by each Q&A site's users, but by search engine users as well. If a future client types into a search engine the same question you answered on a high ranking site, then the likelihood of your answer populating on the first few pages of Google is greater. All this from a free site you might log onto for ten minutes every few days to help promote yourself or a client's website.
Niche Sites, Lower to High Page Rank
Ask The Rabbi: Page rank 0/10, 'The website where every question is taken seriously. From beginners to advanced, from the practical to the mystical, our international staff of scholars and educators are standing by to answer your every questions about Judaism'.
What Should I Say Page rank 2/10, Get the answers to questions about what you should say or do in sticky situations. This site is mostly geared to business and personal relationships.
Got Questions: Page Rank 5/10, 'Seeking to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ by providing Biblical, applicable and timely answers to spiritually related questions through an internet presence'.
Trulia:Page Rank 5/10, Get answers to all your Real Estate questions.
LinkedIn: Page Rank 8/10. 'Let's you tap the knowledge of your professional network, and to help you get fast and accurate answers to your business questions'.
High Ranking, Good Sites
Answerbag: Page Rank 6/10. Standard ask and answer site, topics ranging from celebrity trivia to Russian name origins.
All Experts: Page Rank 6/10. Very first large scale Q&A site, standard site.
Askville: Page Rank 6/10. Askville is Amazons version of a Q&A site, this site is all about sharing.
Answers: Page Rank 7/10. 'Your free "one-stop shop" with instant information on over 4 million topics'. When most people think about asking or answering questions, they think of this site.
Yahoo Answers: Page Rank 8/10. 'With more than 21 million unique users in the U.S. and 90 million worldwide, Yahoo! Answers is the largest knowledge-sharing community on the Web'. Yahoo is often seen as the pioneer for Q&A sites.
QNA Live: Page Rank 8/10. MSN's version of Yahoo! Answers, this site provides you with a community of real live people asking and answering questions that appeal to their interests.
By using one of the sites listed above you will be able to start your journey to becoming an answering expert as a link builder. At first stick to one site, but once you get the hang of it, perhaps branch out to two or three different sites. Just remember, the more effort you put into it the more benefits you'll receive in return.
