As the Winter Tour rolls through Philadelphia and heads toward Reading, the Phillies are making themselves visible, and accessible, this offseason.
With football, basketball and hockey in full swing, the Phillies have not faded into the Philadelphia sports landscape. Two Jan. 18 baseball columns from Phil Sheridan and Bill Conlin and two coverage articles of the Winter Tour stop yesterday are a good indication the Philadelphia papers have a surpluss of ink since the Eagles season went in the tank.
Labeled a team that does a poor job connecting with fans, the Phillies find themselves in a comparable situation as the pre-Andy Reid Eagles. Remember when they were a team without identity and direction? Now, a Super Bowl appearance later, even mediocre center Hank Fraley is on soup commercials.
That bubble appears to have burst a little, while the Phillies are only beginning to inflate theirs. Usually a forum to blow hot air, yesterday GM Pat Gillick did something completely different as the Winter Tour stopped at Citizen's Bank Park. He was honest about his team's situation and admitted the Phils, in their present state, are not contenders.
The honesty was contagious. Pitcher Ryan Madson was candid about his desire to start, not set-up. Brett Myers concurred, telling Comcast he'd rather see his friend in a starting role. One gets the sense the decision makers – Gillick and manager Charlie Manuel – would rather see it too, but they're stuck.
If nothing else, it shows why set-up man, like starting pitcher, are the two big question marks this offseason. The difference is, a battle-tested set-up man could have been acquired through free agency. A number one starter, the kind that can stop a losing streak, could not, not even for $55 million, which is what the Blue Jays paid A.J. Burrett, a statistical equal to Vicente Padilla.
The Phillies may not be closer to a championship, but at the very least, they cultivated more captivating, young talent in 2005 to interest fans.
Breakout star and future face of the franchise Chase Utley was a guest on Angelo Cataldi's show this morning. In fact, nearly all the young, dynamic players you'd want to hear from – Utley, Myers, Ryan Howard and new center fielder Aaron Rowand -- have made themselves available. Tonight, Madson and infielder Abraham Nunez will be guest bartending at McFadden's Restaurant and Saloon.
Meanwhile, the left-coast contingency of Cory Lidle, Randy Wolf and Mike Lieberthal participated in a highly publicized charity poker tournament. As for the suits, Gillick, along with assistant GM Ruben Amaro, Jr., have checked in with WIP to update the hot stove. Manuel made himself available as a guest on Comcast Daily News Live to endure the bullets immediately following the season.
If the problem is a lack of connection, you can't fault the Phillies for not trying. The stars are aligning the right way, it seems, for the Phillies to make some kind of splash. Eyes have shifted off the Birds and are looking for the next big thing.
In the meantime, it's a good thing the papers have some ink in reserve.

One lucky student is getting the chance to shoot for the stars thanks to a competition that will take him into space.
"I'm still in disbelief," says Patrick Carney. "It was such a crazy feeling."
Carney, 21, is a third year student at UVa and in a year he will be the youngest person to go to space.
"It's one of those things that I've always dreamed about and it's something that less than 600 people have ever had the chance to do," says Carney. "So to be able to experience that is something that I can't even get nervous about."
He got the opportunity thanks to a competition put on by the AXE deodorant company.
They had people vote for the contestants online in order to make it to space camp.
They chose nine people to attend a space camp in connection with the Space Expedition Corporation.
"Luckily by the end of the competition I had finished in second place, which was good enough to book my trip to space camp," says Carney.
While at camp Carney went through several challenges including team building activities and a zero gravity experience.
Once the challenges were complete the winners from the space camp were announced. Carney's name was announced and his seat was booked for a day trip in space.
"I walked on stage, just taking it in," says Carney. "It was nuts, it still is absolutely amazing and unbelievable."
"It was always something I dreamed about, I've always been keeping track of Space XC and instantly when I heard about the competition, it was just a dream come true to have a chance to experience that."

Have always been self conscious about my teeth. Like many, My parents never really could afford braces and even if they could they were never worried about the position of my teeth. I vaguely remember my childhood dentist saying something about getting a retainer/braces but parents never really thought much of it......well thanks. Leave me to fix the mess, lol. Having moved to Los Angeles to pursue my career well you know how image goes down here! I have already had some success in my field but I need this confidence boost to bring me over the edge. I'm not worried, I'm excited for 2014. It will be a year of fantastic changes. Now I don't think my teeth are crazy horrible but they are way far from perfect. I know i have a deep - ish anterior crossbite / rotated canines vampire - like teeth/ rotated teeth in general / my midline needs to be shifted / crowding and i dont really have much of an overjet standard being 2mm or around there. just a few on my prescrip for invisaign. Its just whatever! Main point is that its going to be fixed now!
Im a person that does research so I have gone to a couple consultations varying in range & price. I'm also indecisive so it took me a couple months to choose which way/who i wanted to go with. Next thing you know I get an email from the ortho for a christmas special of 500 off, with a decent down payment, and a pretty low monthly payment, I was sold. Not to mention this was the guy that I felt best about, felt comfortable, very knowledgeable, and supposedly is a pretty damn good accredited invisalign ortho here in LA (Top 3% worldwide???) but we'll see about that!
Fingers crossed.
Went into the office on December 3rd to take records/xrays, paperwork, some minimal teeth contouring, and to take my impressions. Luckily they have the Itero scanner so no messy impressions here! 12-18 months of treatment for me.
Will update with pics when i see the ortho next.
Just wanted to give this a start here on REALSELF to take you guys with me on my journey as I have been reading up on others! Really helpful to my own research. heh!
My next appointment should be to pick up my first set of aligners on Jan 7!
2014 will be starting off right ! It will be the beginning to a great year :)

Parking-garage plan detailed
Date: May 1, 2009
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
The city of Sarasota solicited the public's input at a meeting Thursday evening into the design of a parking garage on Palm Avenue.
The 2.2-acre site has been the subject of four, separate development proposals over the years, but the city rejected each and instead decided to build its own parking garage on that site.
The garage would have 600 to 700 parking spaces with up to five levels. The ground floor would contain about 14,000 square feet of retail space fronting Palm Avenue.
City planner Steve Stancel said the city had several goals in mind for the garage, including cost efficiency, pleasing aesthetics that blend into the current neighborhood, environmentally friendly design and pedestrian connectivity to Main Street and cultural destinations, such as the opera.
Stancel said the cost is estimated from $10.8 million to $13.2 million. The higher estimate includes LEED environmental certification and building the garage to have the capability to add another level in the future.
The city has not yet decided whether it will sell the retail portion of the project or lease it.
Stancel said if the city leased the retail space, it could bring up to $250,000 in annual income for City Hall. One resident said another benefit would be that the city could ensure a better mix of retail-business types downtown.
The city will request developer proposals later this month, with a response deadline of June or July. A developer will be selected in August. Construction is set to begin in May 2010, with an estimated completion date of October 2010.

Genealogists and local historians are people who love heritage – that is an obvious statement, I think. Genealogists and local historians are also people who understand the value of heritage and of the documents and artifacts that constitute that heritage. Here at the Calgary Public Library we put requests in for documents that are sometimes arcane, sometimes bizarre, but always valuable in the pursuit of our history. We often request these items from our national "memory keeper" Library and Archives Canada.
Changes are taking place at Library and Archives Canada, though, and they may have an effect on how we are able to access those documents that are so important to our research. Proposals for trimming the budget include reducing hours of service in the Library and Archives itself and ending LAC's role in the national interlibrary loan program. There are also changes being made to what LAC will acquire and hold and who will be responsible for protecting the documents in the care of the national repository. These changes may have far reaching effects on those of us who rely on our national library to have and hold the literary output of our country.
Anyone who works in a library and most of you who use our library are aware that the way libraries do what they do will have to change. Library and Archives Canada has been noticing a decrease in in-person visits, with a corresponding upsurge in the use of their website. And, to be fair, the changes proposed for Library and Archives Canada do include the potential for increased digitization of the holdings that are most accessed. What scares many of us genealogists is that we remember what happened with the last technological advance in document management, the evil microfilm. While we are glad that we have it (it is virtually indestructible) we are leery of what happens with the originals once the copy is made. In the case of census records and passenger lists, once the microfilming was completed, the originals were destroyed. For most of the collection that is fine but there are several dozen reels that are filmed very badly, are basically unreadable, and we have no recourse to the original. Now, I understand why destroying the census originals seemed like a good idea at the time. The books were large and hard to store, old paper requires special care and a special environment. Getting rid of these things might have seemed like a great cost-cutting measure. I'm not sure it was.
These changes are going to have effects in the future that we can't even begin to foresee. While changes do need to be made in all libraries we need to consider the LAC as a special case. They are not just any other library and their role as the collector and protector of the country's documentary heritage needs to be recognized as a pillar on which we can build the future. We will never maintain the greatness of this country by dismantling the past.
If you are interested in developments at Library and Archives Canada, you can visit our E-Library under Newspapers and read the papers in Newspaper Direct Press Display. You can read up on the cuts in a number of Canadian newspapers by entering a search in the text box at the top of the page.
World War I Attestation Paper from Library and Archives Canada Collection
I know you're probably tired of my rambling on and on about our 100th birthday, but I am sooooo excited (and I just can't hide it). So many cool things will be going on connected with our birthday that we are guaranteed to have the best year yet. And the event that I was most excited about will be happening on May 17 when our own history book Calgary Public Library: Inspiring Life Stories since 1912 will be publically launched. Because it is a book about our history and I work in the history area of the library, my colleagues and I were involved (in varying degrees) in some of the research for this book. And we were privileged to have the author, Brian Brennan, working in our local history area.
You may think that a book about the history of a library may not exactly be your cup of tea, but when you think about it, the library is central to the life of a community. It is a meeting place, a place where you can come to learn, to have fun, to just hang out. That is what a good library should strive to be. And I think we are a great library. The story of the library is the story of our city, it is our story, so please join us on May 17 at the place where it all began, the magnificent Memorial Park Library (Click here for a link to the information about the program) . You will be able to buy a copy of the book and have it signed by the author. Or you can purchase the book on www.goodread.ca - Your Library Store. All proceeds from the sale of the book support the Calgary Public Library Foundation.
As I mentioned, the book launch is only one of a huge number of programs that will be offered to celebrate our 100th. You can check out what is going on at the Celebrate our Centennial cpl100.ca section of our website. There will be birthday parties, the Annie Davidson Lecture Series, Community Gardens and on and on. You can also check out our archive photographs in "Our Story in Pictures" also available at the cpl100.ca site. It is going to be a great year – please come and be a part of it.

Spring must be coming because it is Jane's Walk season again. This has become an annual event, and for any of you who have not heard of the Jane's Walks, well, let me fill you in. Jane's Walks are named in honour of Jane Jacob's who was an extremely influential thinker who advocated a community approach to city building. As part of this legacy, the Walks are held every year in many major cities. These tours are led by volunteers who talk about their communities. Last year we had a number of excellent neighbourhood tours, and this year, the momentum continues to grow and we have a choice of some extremely interesting topics and areas.
One that I am particularly looking forward to is Harry Sanders' tour of Jewish Calgary on Sunday May 6. It will start at the Central Library and meander up to Memorial Park Library and back. Harry will point out historic and modern buildings, sites of demolished buildings, parks and institutions that have a link to the Jewish community in Calgary's past. This is going to be great. Harry has a great knowledge of Calgary's history and a brain packed with fascinating details. I never fail to learn from him and his talks are always entertaining. He and Marje Wing, the Customer Service Manager of the Alexander Calhoun Library, will also be conducting a walk through Marda Loop, starting at the Calhoun library on Saturday.
Calgary Public Library is connected to some other walks as well. Two of our staff members will be taking interested "Jane's Walkers" on an Art Circuit tour of the City of Calgary's art collection. This tour also starts at the Central Library and will proceed from there through the Plus 15 system. That tour will take place on Saturday May 5.
For a look at a "newer" area, Ann Lidgren, the Customer Service Manager of Nose Hill Library, will be exploring the Brentwood area around her branch and talking about the impact that a library branch can have in developing a community.
There will also be a tour starting out at the Louise Riley Library that will explore the history and homes of the surrounding area. This tour is led by Professor Graham Livesay.
This is just a hint at some of the walks that will be taking place. The subjects range far and wide, just like this vibrant city. You can find out about the East Village (with Clayton Buck), you can visit the Drop In Centre and see the wonderful work they are doing there, you can check out the bridges of the Mission area with Marilyn Williams or look out at the city from Crescent Road with Judith Umbach and her co-presenters. Our new Poet Laureate, Kris Demeanor, is even involved, giving us his view of the Bridgeland area. The list goes on and on. You have to check out the website (http://janeswalk.net/cities/landing/category/calgary/) and the huge variety of walks available. The chance to have an insider's look at the various communities is a great way to get to know about our home. The walks and talks are always interesting and this year's selection is the best yet.

Last week we celebrated the 95th anniversary of Vimy Ridge. It is said that the Canadian action at Vimy was the turning point for Canada. Before Vimy we were a frozen outpost of the British Empire, after Vimy we were a nation. That bit of information is certainly crucial to an understanding of Canada's role in the Great War . But I am a bit of a micro-historian myself. I believe that we can also come to an understanding of the impact of world events by understanding the role of individuals in those events. This ties in nicely with my interest in genealogy, but it has also served me well in a new role I have taken on. Library and Archives Canada have a project called Lest We Forget, which involves collaboration with libraries around the country. The goal of this program is to bring the lives of Canadian soldiers to students in high schools by exposing them to primary source documents, in this case, the service records of men and women from their geographic area. I was a little leery of this to begin with. I love working with primary sources but I'm not sure if that is a sign of some dysfunction or if there might be others out there who get the same thrill from dusty old papers. Well, the students we have come in contact with seem to have the same feeling about micro-history and primary source materials that I do. Who knew? So now with this affirmation in hand, I am spreading the word about primary source research and Canada's military history.
All of this leads me to Private Thomas Lawless. One thing that was really driven home by my involvement in Lest We Forget is the absolute horror of the battlefield. Photos of no-man's land show a churned up, muddy pit of horse carcasses and dead bodies. It was, to belabor an obvious point, a chaotic nightmare where the niceties of tradition could not be observed. Bodies sometimes had to be left where they fell. Thomas Lawless was one of these soldiers who were left behind. As a matter of fact, his body was not discovered until 2003, and therefore he was still on the missing list until 2011, when scientists were finally able to confirm his identity. Thomas was from Ireland, but lived in Calgary when he enlisted, on November 22, 1915. He was 27, had sandy hair and a fresh complexion. He arrived in England in June of 1916 on the Olympia, but seems to have immediately contracted tonsillitis, which seemed to be a chronic problem for him, and was admitted to hospital. He ran a fever for a short while but by July he was fit enough to rejoin his regiment. After he died, his next of kin, listed as Mrs.K. Johnstone of 8th Street West, Calgary, received $275.46 of his back pay. His brother in Ireland received his medals.
How do I know all of this about Thomas? His service records have been digitized and made available by Library and Archives Canada. You can access the Soldiers of the First World War database here: http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/cef/001042-100.01-e.php
As the files that we are using in the Lest We Forget project are scanned, they are also put in this database. So while some records only include the attestation papers (but you can order the files if you want to see them) some include the entire service record. If you are researching an ancestor, or have seen a name on a cenotaph that you would like to pursue more information about, check out the Soldiers of the First World War database.
And just on a more personal note, some of the students from one of the schools in the Lest We Forget project are in France and were a part of the celebrations at Vimy. They are also going to visit the battlefields. They all carry their soldier's story with them and I'm certain they will see the Great War through new/old eyes.

Titanic in Southampton, April 1912
One hundred years ago, on April 15, the Titanic went down. It took three days for the ship that rescued the survivors, the Carpathia, to reach New York but when it did, there was media frenzy and 250 policemen had to be on hand to control the crowd and make sure that only family and friends of the survivors had access to them. In spite of that, the press got through, one even making it onto the Carpathia. The papers were full of the stories of the survivors and many of the tales surrounding the sinking of that magnificent ship were born.
One of the most enduring examples of the heroism that was seen the night of the loss was that the band played as the lifeboats were loaded in order to keep the passengers calm. It was reported that the band continued to play even as the ship went down. Interestingly, the first report of this came from Vera Dick, a Calgary woman, who had been on the Titanic returning from her honeymoon. In an interview, said to be "one of the most comprehensive and connected stories of the disaster," Vera reported that "as the steamship went down, the band was up forward and we could faintly hear them start 'Nearer my God to Thee'." She continued, "There was no evidence of panic while we were on board and I first laughed at the idea of the Titanic sinking." (The Morning Leader, April 19, 1912).
Vera's husband, Albert (known as Bert) kept fairly quiet about the disaster until he reached Calgary. Then he gave his report to a reporter in New York and the interview was picked up by The Calgary Daily Herald (April 19, 1912). His report is essentially the same as Vera's but he adds that while Vera was in her nightdress and kimono, he managed to get into his pants and jacket. He also had high praise for the crew, who maintained order in the face of mounting panic and stayed with the ship until the end.
Following the disaster, the few men who survived were looked on with suspicion. The rule at sea is 'women and children first' and, while most of the women and children (at least those in first and second class) were saved, it is often overlooked that a boatload of women and children would have been expected to need men to row the boats. Women, especially those in the privileged classes, were not encouraged to undertake vigorous physical exercise. It was for this reason, claimed Vera, that her husband was forced into the boat with her. Indeed, the reports of the survivors are filled with reports of crew members and other men taking charge of the lifeboats and rowing them away from the suction of the great liners' sinking.
In addition to Mr. and Mrs. Dick, it was reported that the family of Frank Marshall, a carpenter living in the Riverside area of Calgary, were also on board. His wife and two children were initially reported missing but I can find no further information about them (and they aren't listed on the passenger lists I have seen) Reports, sent through the company of Niblock and Tull, agents for White Star in Calgary, indicated that Kate Marshall was rescued. It appears, however, that Kate Marshall was travelling with her husband and was not related to Frank. Does anyone know about this family? I'd be interested to hear if they were on the ship or if this was a bit of a hoax.
If you'd like to read some of the news reports from the time of the event, you can check out our two subscription services "Toronto Star: Pages from the Past" and "Globe & Mail: Canada's Heritage from 1844" both of which are in our E-Library under "History and Genealogy." You can also check the newspapers at Our Future Our Past and the newspapers in Peel's Prairie Provinces.

Calgary Daily Herald, April 19, 1912
Saturday was Family History Coaching day at the Central Library. We had two outstanding volunteers from the Alberta Family Histories Society helping customers with their genealogical questions. As usual, the customers were not the only ones learning stuff. The volunteers and I always come away from these sessions with new information. That got me thinking about some of the lesser used resources for family history research. One source that I have used in the past, but which isn't really used all that much by others is PERSI. You know that library people love acronyms so you probably guessed that PERSI isn't a person. What it stands for is PERiodical Source Index – which still doesn't tell you much about it. PERSI lives in Heritage Quest Online which you can access through our E-Library under History and Genealogy.
So why would you want to look at it in the first place? Because, periodicals (magazines, newsletters, etc.) are an overlooked resource for genealogists. An enormous amount of information is published every year in commercial journals and in the publications of genealogical societies. The good folks at Allen County Public Library in Indiana index this information and make this index available to all of us. In some cases, you can actually view the article online, in others you will have to make a request for an interlibrary loan of the periodical or a photocopy of the article. This can be done at your local Calgary Public Library branch (or, through your local library if you're not in Calgary). You can also put in the request through Allen County PL by clicking on the request form link at the bottom of the page.
I ran a quick search to see what kinds of articles turn up when I look for information about my ancestors. The first thing you will notice is that the menu offers four options. You can search for information about people, places, how-to information and by periodical title. My first search was for my mother-in-law's family in Ireland. I found a citation for an article about her family in Breifne magazine, published in Ireland, from 1973, as well as an article from a 1962 edition of Irish Genealogist. Cool, eh?
I also tried a place name search to see what I could turn up on the Okanagan, where my father's family settled. I chose Canada in the search tabs and then selected British Columbia from the drop down menu. I used Okanagan as a keyword and my results included 854 hits including articles that listed the names on the Kelowna cenotaph, the names of Okanagan valley pioneers from 1881 and the names of railway workers killed on the Kettle Valley line (I'm going to request that one!) You can also use this search to find information to flesh out your family story. In addition to the drop-down menu for place names, you can also use a drop-down menu to narrow your search to a type of article or record. For example, a search using Alberta and Directories turns up many articles about directories in small towns in Alberta. Some of these may also include transcriptions.
In addition to genealogy periodicals, history publications are also indexed. These can be invaluable in filling in some of the details of your family's story. Journals like Alberta History, Beaver and Legacy are included.
How-to articles can be searched by specific keywords or by using the drop-down menu to select article by record type. So if you want to have pointers on researching tax records or records of probate, you can see what kind of articles are available.
Whenever I do a tour for new genealogists, I like to point out our fairly large collection of magazines as a treasure trove of information. Now you don't have to read each of the 1000 or so journals we have on our shelves, you can use PERSI to find the articles you need.
Happy hunting.

On Saturday May 12, we will be presenting a workshop, with an archivist from the City of Calgary Archives, on how to research the history of your house. We have done these before, but this time we are happy to be giving the presentation as part of an initiative called "Century Homes." What we want to do is to encourage people to research the stories of their homes. Your house doesn't have to be 100 years old for you to attend, but we would like people who do have a home that was built in or before 1915 to look into the Century Homes initiative (http://www.centuryhomes.org/). Doing house research is kind of like doing genealogy, but much, much less complicated (houses don't move, change their names or hide from the law, for the most part). Between the members of the Heritage Triangle, we hold vast amounts of information about homes and the people who lived in them.
Calgary experienced a building boom in the early part of the 20th century and there are still plenty of houses around from that era. If you own one of them, you can get a kit from Century Homes to help you make a yard sign. You will be asked to put up the sign during Historic Calgary Week (Friday July 27 through to Monday August 6) The information you gather about your house will be archived here at the Calgary Public Library so we will have a record of your house. As I like to tell people, history is made by the people like you and me – the very people who lived in your house. (My colleagues will tell you I beat this topic like a rented mule) Your home doesn't have to be a massive sandstone pile to have historic value. Cities are built by the folks in the three room cottages, the tiny bungalows and the once grand multi –stories converted to boarding houses. So, think about participating in this very exciting initiative. Researching your house is not an onerous job – there are lots of sources and there are people to help you use them. And I want to stress that, while your home has to be 100 years old or thereabouts, to be considered a Century Home, there is lots of information available for people whose houses are younger. Join us to find out how to get started with your own home's unique story.
Registration for the May 12 program will begin on April 23.
Centre Street Bridge, pre 1915
Postcards from the Past, PC 226
Well, after much controversy, many delays and a healthy dose of skepticism, the Peace Bridge is scheduled to officially open this Saturday with a celebration including the blessing of the bridge by a First Nations elder – suitable, as the confluence of these rivers had long been a meeting spot for the people living in this part of the country.
The bridge was designed by Santiago Calatrava, the architect chosen to design the train station which will be part of the rebuilding of the World Trade Center site in New York. He also designed two beautiful bridges that span the River Liffey in Dublin, one of my very favourite cities. Both are named for famous Irish authors (James Joyce and Samuel Beckett) and are beautiful additions to that city. But I digress. Our Calatrava bridge was faced with much nay saying and continual back and forth between proponents of the unique structure and those who felt the money could be better spent. Because I am a history buff, this called to mind the foofaraw over the Centre Street Bridge (of course there has to be a tie to something in the past, right?)
The part of the city north of the Bow had been settled long before it was part of the city. In fact, the area just beyond the Langevin was the red light district for Calgary because it actually fell outside of the jurisdiction of the city police. For people living on the north side of the Bow, it was imperative that they have a decent bridge to cross to the city. The developer of Crescent Heights had built a steel span bridge with wooden approaches. He sold shares in the company and used the bridge as a selling feature for the land that he was developing on the north side of the river. There were other crossings, but the closest bridge was at what is now Kensington, and it was a bit of a hike for people who were coming from Crescent Heights and area. When Crescent Heights was annexed by the city in 1908, many expected that the bridge would also fall under the care and maintenance of the city. The annexation meant that lots were opened up and houses were being built. Construction materials had to be hauled up to the hill, but the Centre Street Bridge Company was still the owner of the structure. The company wanted the city to pay $7,000 for the bridge, what it had cost them to build it. The city refused to pay even $5000. This back and forth went on between the city and the bridge company from 1908 to 1912 when the city finally agreed to buy the bridge for $300. Three years later, the structure would be washed out by one of our regular floods. What was left was sold to the provincial Department of Highways (for $200 more than the city paid the bridge company for it.) Construction had already begun on the new bridge that we all know and love. It was completed in 1916, again, with much controversy surrounding its design and the cost. Some things never change.
Eamon's Bungalow Camp, 10220 Crowchild Tr. NW
From "Discover Historic Calgary"
We had a great time at the Heritage Matters program on Thursday night. Our mayor gave a talk about the importance of heritage and then answered questions from the audience. What was most interesting was the mayor's perspective on what heritage means. We have tended, in the past, to view heritage as a concern of those with the leisure to contemplate the value of 100 year old, sandstone edifices. What Mayor Nenshi suggested is that Calgary's heritage is a much broader concept, concerning all Calgarians in their infinite variety and looking at all places with a view to their value, not just as architectural monuments, but as signifiers of the history of the people of this city.
Two sites were mentioned that have garnered some press in the last little while, Eamon's Bungalow Camp and the Barron Building. I have written a blog on the Barron Building, which is an example of a site which has significance beyond its structure. Eamon's Camp is one of those sites which to many of us, who grew up in the middle part of the last century, seem merely "old fashioned" as they were once a common sight. There was a Royalite station in the neighbourhood I grew up in that looked much the same. These are the buildings that are most at risk – they are a part of my childhood, how can they be heritage?! But Eamon's is one of the last examples still standing of the mid-century commercial architecture that was once ubiquitous. The city owns the site it is on and needs to build a C-Train station and parking there. While the sign is going to be preserved, many have expressed concern about the building itself. Because of citizen concern, plans for the site may be revisited.
The story of Roy Eamon and his "one –stop tourist service centre" is fascinating. Eamon was an entrepreneur of the real Calgary type – he had businesses galore and an ability to bounce back from disaster. It is rumoured that he made and lost several fortunes. But for many years, his drive-in, service station, motel was the place to stop on the way to Banff. You could buy gas, eat lunch (in the restaurant or in the car from a tray hooked to the window – does anyone remember that?) and have your car washed all at the same place. It was a beacon to travelers until the new Trans-Canada highway came through. If you're interested in Eamon's you can find a very detailed history on the City of Calgary database "Discover Historic Calgary". It has also been discussed on the Calgary Heritage Initiative website as well as in the Calgary Herald (which you can read through Newspaper Direct Press Display in our e-library - under Newspapers and Magazines)
Spring will come – I have it on good authority. And when it does it is going to bring with it a schwack of Heritage programming. I sometimes can't believe the amount of stuff that the heritage community gets up to in this city. Quite a change from my youth, when a city official (who shall remain nameless) insisted that a building be torn down because it had tried to kill him (think Burns Building). Now, our mayor is coming to speak to us and talk with us about heritage in Calgary. That is going to be the kick-off for our spring heritage season. The meeting will take place in the John Dutton theatre at the Central Library on Thursday, March 8. Doors open at 5:00, with the talk starting at around 5:30. We will be serving refreshments, so join us and get your heritage spring started. Just show up, no registration is required.
On St. Patrick's Day, there is a free course in the "Partners in Planning" program put on by the City and the Federation of Calgary Communities. This series is aimed at community members and the general public to introduce them to planning issues within the city. Urban planning in Calgary is at an exciting stage, where stakeholders and communities work with heritage organizations and concerned members of the public to build a culture of preservation. The program on March 17 is called "Planning with Heritage in Mind" and will include an introduction to preservation principles, illustrated with local case studies. You can register at www.calgarycommunities.com > Workshops and Events or phone 403-244-4111. It takes place on Saturday, March 17 from 9:00am to 12:00pm at Bankview Community Association, 2418 - 17 Street SW.
On March 22, Matco Investments is hosting "More Than Just Beer - An Historic Presentation" a talk about the Inglewood Brewery site by conservation architect Lorne Simpson. He will examine the economic and social history of the brewery. The event is free but you will need to register. You can do so at this website:
Chinook Country Historical Society offers very interesting programs every month. March is the month for their Annual General Meeting which takes place on the 27th at the Varsity Community Centre. It is a dinner event so you will have to purchase tickets, but the speaker that evening will be Harry 'The Historian' Sanders who will talk about a subject near and dear to his heart, the history of hotels in Alberta. Check out their website for further information www.chinookcountry.org
Cecil Hotel, 1912
Postcards from the Past, PC 947
April 19 will bring the next Heritage Roundtable. The topic isn't set yet, but these events are always well attended and one of my faves (see the posting about the last Roundtable) You can find up-to-date info on the Roundtables – and other events-- at www.calgaryheritage.org
At the end of April, CHI – the Calgary Heritage Initiative- will have its annual general meeting on the 26th at 7 pm at the Lougheed House. The speaker that night will be another one of my favourite historians, Max Foran. For those who don't know about CHI, the work they do in the Heritage Community is valiant. A visit to their website is a must for anyone concerned with heritage and history. The website holds information about upcoming events, about buildings, threatened and success-stories, it keeps an eye on developments that may have an impact on the built heritage of our city, just to list a few highlights. Have a peek.
May will bring flowers and Jane's Walks which celebrate our neighbourhoods and the legacy of Jane Jacobs, urbanist and heritage advocate. (www.calgaryfoundation.org) It looks like you can still volunteer to lead a walk in your neighbourhood.
On the 12th of May, we will be conducting a repeat of our program "Research the History of your House" in association with Century Homes Calgary. You don't need to have a century home to research the history of your house, so join us at 10:30 at the Central Library for some pointers on how to find out the secrets of your home. Registration opens on April 23.
Those are just a few of the programs that are coming up. Everything is listed at www.calgaryheritage.org and we will try to keep posting information here about the programs coming in the summer. Try to come to some of these programs – the heritage community in Calgary is energetic and exciting and is about so much more than buildings. Hope to see you there.

Jennifer and I just wrapped up a fun swap called Stitch It | Zippy Pouches. My pouch has been received so I wanted to share what I made!
My partner loved low volume with pops of black, arrows, Anna Maria Horner and Alison Glass.
I squeezed all of that in one and made what I call the Broken Arrow Zippy!
I used this pattern for the paper pieced arrows. I printed the pattern at 45% to get mini arrows and made each one as a whole arrow.
Part way through I just couldn't shake the feeling that I should cut them in half. *gasp*
Usually when I get a gut feeling, I hem and haw forever. Which I did. I folded them up and took pictures to 'see' what it might look like if I cut them in half.
Then I decided I hated it. Then I decided I loved it. And then I told myself to shut it and just went for it!
Go with your gut, I find it usually works out the best!
I sewed it up into a basic zippy pouch and topped it off with a gold tassel from my tutorial here.
We each stuffed our pouches with office supplies and I forgot to take a picture of what was inside.
I included some washi tape, a bundle of Cotton + Steel fabric scraps, a notebook, thread and one of my favorite pens.
I hope my partner loved everything, it was a lot of fun to make for her!
I received my pouch last Friday and totally lucked out! Vanessa from LBG Studio was my secret partner and she sent me an amazing package!
Everything was so me and I just love the pouch!
I told her I had been eying this pouch tutorial and I am so excited to have one of my own! The pattern is a free tutorial from Craft Passion found here.
I'm not sure yet if there will be a round two of Stitch It Swap, but I'll be sure to let you know! It's a lot of fun!
Join in the flickr group or check #stitchitswap on social media for what's happening!

Burke replaced Duke's Mason Plumlee for the top spot on www.valueaddbasketball.com, and with Duke's first loss yesterday Michigan is the only undefeated team and can take over first place if they win at Ohio State today at 1:30 ET/10:30 PT. It will be tough though, as the Wolverines need win in Columbus, Ohio, against arch rival Ohio State, which Glenn Robinson, Tim Hardaway and Nik Stauskas join Burke to make Michigan one of only six teams with four players in the top 200 – or top 5 percent of all players. The other teams are Duke, Florida, Syracuse, VCU and fellow Big Ten member Indiana. Deshaun Thomas and Aaron Craft made Ohio State one of only two teams with two projected players in the top 11 prior to the start of the season, and Shannon Scott has joined them to give Ohio State three top 200 players. More indepth studies by Sports Illustrated's stat guru Luke Winn have made it clear Craft is the best ball hawk playing guard in American today, so the possibility of the best player in the league matching up against the best defender on the perimeter would make today's matchup could go a long way to see which of these rivals have the best shot at winning the best basketball conference in the country this year, the Big Ten. Today will be a great preview of the future NBA battles on the perimeter between Burke, Tim Hardaway and Craft, but today bragging rights in one of the nation's most fierce rivalries and first place in the country is at stake. Here is where Michigan and Ohio State players rank among the 4000 players who play D1 basketball at www.valueaddbasketball.com.

White Sox' division lead at 2 after loss to Tigers
BY DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN firstname.lastname@example.com August 31, 2012 11:46PM
Prince Fielder beats the throw to score the game's final run on a seventh-inning double by Delmon Young. | Paul Sancya~AP
The facts: 6:05, Ch. 9,
The starters: Francisco Liriano (5-10, 5.06 ERA) vs. Max Scherzer (14-6, 4.13).
Article Extras
Updated: October 2, 2012 6:13AM
DETROIT — The White Sox' lineup wasted a bevy of scoring opportunities, and pitcher Jake Peavy was only ordinary. On the eve of September, this was no way to open an important three-game series against the Detroit Tigers.
When it was over, the Tigers had cut the Sox' lead in the American League Central to two games with a 7-4 victory. Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander will pitch Saturday and Sunday, so it doesn't figure to get easier.
Going into the game with a major-league-leading .291 batting average with runners in scoring position, the Sox went 0-for-13.
Here are the opportunities that came and went:
◆ Runners at first and second with one out in the first inning: no runs.
◆ Bases loaded with no outs after one run scored in the third: no more damage.
◆ First and second after a pair of two-out walks in the fifth: no runs.
◆ Runner at third with one out in the seventh: nothing.
"We had chances. It just didn't happen,'' manager Robin Ventura said. "It was one of those nights where it doesn't fall in for you.''
The most glaring wasted chance came after starter Doug Fister hit Dewayne Wise with the bases loaded in the fourth, tying the score at 3. Fister was struggling, and Kevin Youkilis, Adam Dunn and Paul Konerko were due up. Youkilis lined out to third baseman Miguel Cabrera, Dunn struck out and Konerko hit into a fielder's choice.
"Bases loaded, I hit that ball right at Miguel,'' Youkilis said. "If it gets by him, it's a whole new ballgame. There's no 'what-ifs.' We didn't win that game, but we got to come out and play well and try to beat these guys here."
Tigers pitchers got away with issuing seven walks, a hobbled Cabrera (ankle)made two errors, and second baseman Omar Infante had a shaky defensive game. That was an open door for the Sox, but all they could muster besides A.J. Pierzynski's 24th home run and double were infield singles by Dayan Viciedo and Alexei Ramirez and a line single by Dunn.
"We'd get it tied and we had chances and couldn't find a way to get the lead,'' Pierzynski said. "But give their guys credit — they made pitches when they had to, and that's what good teams do.''
Peavy (9-10) gave up Cabrera's 33rd homer in the first and a solo shot to Jhonny Peralta in the fourth among nine hits allowed in six-plus innings. He left after walking Andy Dirks and giving up a single to Cabrera with the score tied at 4.
Enter left-hander Matt Thornton, who, pitching for the first time in seven days, hit Prince Fielder to load the bases for Delmon Young, who lined a three-run double to left-center to give the Tigers a three-run lead.
Peavy had pitched a perfect sixth to earn another inning, Ventura said. Peavy said he felt strong but couldn't locate pitches.
''I didn't have much,'' Peavy said. ''It was a battle from the start. I didn't have good location. I didn't have great stuff.''
The loss was the Sox' fourth in their last five games. They came away from this one a little more banged up. Youkilis lost part of a fingernail on a hard-hit ground ball, Beckham has a bruise on his right hand after getting hit by a pitch, and Dunn was wincing noticeably from an issue in his rib-cage area, Ventura said.
"We've still got a two-game lead. They've still got to catch us," Youkilis said. "The key right now is that we don't want to start pressing. If it is the last weekend of the season, you might start pressing but not now.''

Mosley asks Europe to change UK privacy laws
Motor racing chief Max Mosley has applied to the European Court of Human Rights in an attempt to reform the UK's privacy laws. He wants editors to be forced to tell people when they are about to publish stories about them. Mosley won the highest-ever UK privacy payout when the News of the World was ordered to pay £60,000 in …
Privacy, or publicity
honestly, I'd completely forgotten about this, and now I'm reminded of it it seems that Max Mosely not only likes a bit of slap and tickle in an alleged holocaust roleplay, but that he also wants to restrict the freedom of the press to serve his own ends.
As much as I don't like Mosley...
... he (shudder) does have a point...
Well, if someone violated my (orgiastic) privacy for 60,000 pounds, I might not initially think, I'd mind. After the divorce payout, though, not to mention all the hassle and distress, I would possibly prefer the option of simply stopping the news before it hits the shelves. Not that anyone would bother publishing my private life, mind you, but still.
AC, because my wife knows how to use the interweb-thingy...
PH, because she gets her privacy violated for money all the time...
in Privates or Pubic?
Oh yes Maxochist, the guy who as president of an international sports federation which claims to work with governments on matters of road safety and vehicle development claims he ISNT a public figure. Max you are about as public as you can get without being in politics, you have courted controversy with the way you have (mis)managed major F1 issues, there is no way on this earth you can honestly claim to be "non-public" with any credibility!
If they give into him on this then the law is as twisted as maxochists own personal appetites!
(Paris cos she too has experienced (public) backlash)
But the press
want freedom of the press to serve their own ends.
A "record" fine of a few £K isn't going to dent the huge profits of the major tabloids, so they can effectively publish with impunity, safe in the knowledge that any old bollocks wrapped up as "news" which damages the reputation of anybody will get nothing more than a token slap on the wrist.
How about making the punishment be 100% of the sales for the papers that carried the story. Might make them be a bit more honest in the stories they carry then.
This actually makes some sense it is a shame there is absolutely no chance of anything like it becoming law. Unfortunately it would be completely unworkable in the vast majority of cases. Can you imagine Hello or Today having to notify every C-List Celeb they publish a photo or line about every time? They would go out of business... oh... wait... that might be a good thing....!
But getting back to reality, the reasoning behind the idea is totally valid. Newspapers can effectively publish what they like in this regard since the financial penalties are relatively small. Perhaps instead of just suing the newspaper the person in question could bring criminal charges against the editor (and others) who allowed the story to be run. That might make editors and similar think more carefully about whether they can defend the publication of the story.
In any case the problem is that once run, whatever the validity and/or legality of a story, it can't be un-run. Similarly once our privacy has been invaded and broken there is no way to unbreak it, and in some situations no amount of money can compensate for the loss so you can't use money to mend the wounds. The question then remains how do we reconcile this situation?
In any case - what's the IT angle here?
>restrict the freedom of the press
He's right though...
The freedom of the press in this case seems to be the freedom to tell lies, blackmail, and destroy reputations. If there's a right to privacy, it should include the right to stop the breach of privacy happening, not to pick up a cheque later, which is,. lets face it, big **** deal...
Ghastly man!
And I thought that before I knew about him using prostitutes en-masse for 5-on-1 sex fests or his alleged £75K/year spend on paid-for sex. Yuck...
Enforceable rights
So much as I could care less about Max Mosley, I do find myself in agreement with him here. If we are to have rights we MUST be able to enforce them so they are respected. No matter which business he runs, he is still entitled to the same right of privacy, and whatever his likes and dislikes are his own business. He is not setting standards by which others must live (MPs) or enforcing those standards (police, judges and magistrates) and should have every expectation that his private life is precisely that, private.
I dunno, press seem a bit too free to plaster sleeze all over their pages, the whole free press thing was more ment for covering important stories as opposed to fred blogs football star bangs black shemale in hardcore sexfest.
he dose have a point
sooo un clean......
We do not equate the public interest with whatever the public is interested in...
... so says the Press Complaints Commission's own guidelines for editors.
What Max Mosley did had *nothing* to do with his job as head of F1, nor did he do it in a public place or display it for public consumption. What we did have, however, is a gutter tabloid rag which decided that invading someone's privacy for a bit of salacious scandal mongering would boost their circulation figures.
Unfortunately, whilst I entirely understand his reasoning, it's very unlikely that his requests will actually be acted upon because that would tip the balance too far away from the ability of the media to publish stories which are "in the public interest" ie *of benefit* to the public.
What he would, IMO, be better advised to do, is to get the PCC changed from a toothless watchdog which is stuffed with newspaper editors whose only interest is covering each other's backs to an organisation which can actually require editors to be dismissed or journalists sacked if they publish prurient tittle-tattle like this with no real justification other than "it will sell more papers".
Perhaps that will then make the press less inclined to do this sort of "expose".
Bankrupt over night...
The Sun would be out of print within a week... I say do it!
Hope he wins....
The Sun/Star/Mirror and glossies such as CelebJunkTattle would all go out of business in a week, leaving browsing the magazine racks a much less harrowing experience.
<-bonfire of red-top tabloids
Freedom to publish is vital
Without it, no scandals would be uncovered, no paper would investigate corruption, politicians would have a free hand to do what they liked.
I agree that the financial damages awarded to Mr. Mosley were too small to make the paper think twice, but the solution is to increase the damages or to use criminal rather than financial penalties. Destroying a reputation should not be taken lightly by the papers, but neither should censorship is worse.
To those who say he has a point-
Do you mean he has a point, and perhaps privacy is not sufficently protected? Or that his specific idea for changing this a good one?
How might this change how newspapers report other stories- Say, about a corrupt politician? Cat burgler? Murderer?
one law for the rich ...
... and famous, another law for the rest of us. I see that at the same time as this story the Reg is carrying an article of a super-database that will track almost all our communications.
Privacy appears to be becoming one of those quaint old-fashioned concepts that only exist if you can afford a lawyer.
Well, I guess the question has to be:-
"What change in legislation would prevent this behaviour from being repeated"
I think we can all bet that as things stand now if the same newspaper people were given the same story they'd do the same thing again, and I really don't think that's a good thing. Its not just Mosley, its the other people involved.
Its still a wonder for me that no-one has gone to gaol - the judge said, for insteance, that the journalists were blackmailing the other participants. How come that never went to court I wonder?
This would be unworkable
The papers would have to notify everyone about every story, and there would have to be sufficient time for the subject to object and then for the paper to appeal to a higher office for a final judgement.
And this would have to be for everyone mentioned and all in time for the morning delivery or it becomes old news.
If you want to prevent papers abusing their power then you have to have severe penalties for those that carry out the abuse.
However, we already have a situation where if you suffer a loss due to libel you can seek the redress of that loss.
So, say a person known as "M" is videoed having a leather themed orgy with 5 prostitutes, say. A paper then publishes that and maybe embellishes it a little to sell copy.
"M" then complains about the loss of privacy and that many of the embellishments are untrue and harmful.
It goes to court and there are a number of possible "hurts" suffered by "M", which may include damage to reputation, damage to character, loss of marriage, loss of job.
The judge would normally look at the damages that are caused by this and put a financial cost on them for damages purposes, however it is unreasonable to expect a court to find the paper liable for any breakup of marriage as if the whoremongering never happened then any reasonable wifey would accept this, and if it did happen then it is unreasonable to punish a paper for simply reporting the truth.
Personally I am amazed that Max received anything from the courts other than being told to go away and grow up, but there you go.
Good On Max!
I hope he wins, the tabloids, especially ones owned by Rupert Murdoch, are a law onto themselves, what good is a 60k fine to them? It's about time people's right to privacy was more respected.
fu!* the freedom of press, they have abused that for years.
@The Other Mark : re To those who say he has a point
Yes he has a point. But I think you would have to restrict his point to questions involving privacy. Anything on public record is not private so wouldn't be affected. Clearly exactly what would constitute a story where you need to inform the subject ahead of time would need to be defined.
Perhaps there could be some series of levels of expected privacy.
eg. (at each level you get protection included in all levels below that level)
Highest Privacy Protection - all stories with that subject to get notification
Higher Privacy Protection - any story with a possible negative effect require notification
Standard Privacy Protection - any story with a large possible effect requires notification
Lower Privacy Protection - some sub-set of stories with specific content require notification
Lowest Privacy Protection - most stories require no notification
At each level there would be types of story that would require notification of the subject and those that would require no notification of the subject. In general you would get Standard Privacy Protection, but you could request Higher or Highest Privacy Protection. You could require that all Politicians or whoever are at the Lower or Lowest Levels of protection. Celebrities or other who place themselves in the public eye could have their status set to a lower level of protection.
This data could be stored in a private database with contact details for all those included in the database. Contact details would be obscured from users (so hacks and others couldn't get contact details) with contact made using an intermediary (eg you phone and ask is zzz allowed to be published about yyy? If not could you please foward a request for zzz to be published).
Remember Robert Murrat?
I agree with Max Mosely. The newspapers have nothing holding them back from utterly destroying lives for the sakes of selling more papers. In Robert Murrat's case it was newspapers themselves who reported him to the local police for looking a bit shifty (well he does have a glass eye after all, classic villan trait), then took it in turns to report anything they fancied.
When the newspapers lose a case like this, the damages should be greater than the profit earned from their endeavours, otherwise, fines and damage awards just turn out to be a predictable expense of doing business and are included in the budget devised at the start of the year,
Yes the press has a right to report on stories but i'm sure its if its in the public intrest only. I support what Max is doing as he was doing something in the privacy of his hotel room, the only reason this came to light is because the news (thats a joke) of the world paid one of the hookers for the video clip and having paid so much for the clip they had to work out a way to make this headline stuff to cover the cost of the clip.
I find it disgusting that a surposed news paper (again where the news is i have no idea) can twist what they have into a story is disgusting just so they sell more papers thats it.
My solution would be to produce a paper that just has the sports news in it like they do in Spain and Italy i bet papers like the Sun, Star and Mirror would go out of buisness in a week?
@ Mark
Your question itself reflects the problem with the current situation: namely, that any attempt to reign in the press is met with howls of "censorship" and "freedom of the media" from the vested interests (yes, I know you didn't). Naming and shaming a corrupt politician: obviously necessary. Naming and shaming a possible paedophile (thank you, Daily Mirror): more likely an invitation to mob rule. But hey, it makes us look good to morons.
Is it right that Mosley and paediatricians should have to suffer for the freedom of the sewer press to boost their sales by printing anything they please? Max's unpopular role within the FIA might have induced a little schadenfreude, but still I say no. The balance is too far towards the media and a little recalibration might even improve the quality of the UK's news (God help us - no, not you Rupert).
Of course, who is it that would actually decide whether a story was published or not under Mosley's system? Pity the poor bugger who would; damned if they do and damned if they don't.
Paris, because why would you care what she does in her 'private' life? Apart from titillation, of course (he he, I said "tit")
hope he wins
much as I enjoyed the story :-)
@Anonymous Coward Posted 13:19 GMT
Ok, so the corrupted politician story gets published. The murderer and cat burglar do not, as they have a higher level of privacy protection. Or, at least, the papers have to make a reasonable attempt at contacting those two first, to give them a chance to refute the story.
Presumable, the C(ult)hurch of Scienctology would be offered similiar protection- Or would they be downgraded? If so, under what rules? Catholic Church? Chess Club? CEO of a major company? Trigger happy Welsh cops who taser sheep? Reverand Peter Mullen? What is the rule that takes a Molsey to Paris Hilton level? It seems like a lot of work when perhaps setting liability equal or higher to estimated damages/estimated profit would produce a similiar result- That is, to make it uneconomical to print unconfirmed stories.
Everyone would have to register with this database, and keep current contact information on it. Who runs the database? Who pays for the staff to handle customer support of it? Can't let those without a computer, without computer skills, or even the homeless lack access to update their contact and privacy level.
It could interface with the NHS and National ID Database!
(Although, if it outlaws Paris Hilton stories, maybe it'll be worth it)
This is NOT a Binary Decision!
This is one of those instances where everybody makes the same mistake. They fall into the binary trap. EITHER freedom of the press, OR decent privacy laws. Here's a possible solution. Bring a Jury into the picture. (this is an example of the kind of thing I'm talking about here: http://stottle.blogspot.com/2006/02/shortcut-to-democracy.html)
viz: Any time a paper is about to publish a story which contains a potential breach of privacy, it submits the story to a standing jury established for that purpose alone. It can even be a jury of its own readers, providing they can be shown to represent a reasonable cross section of the community. In practice this would be an online "advisory panel" whose job is to answer the single question, "Does the public interest in this case outweigh the private interest?" Their decision would be considered advisory only (leaving the editorial decision firmly in the hands of the publisher, where it belongs). BUT:
In any subsequent court case, the defendant would be able to use the Jury's endorsement as mitigation and, should the plaintiff win, the penalties would take into account the involvement of a jury and its decision.
For example, if a Jury has pronounced in favour of publication, the penalty would be minimised. If the Jury had advised against publication, the penalty would be maximised. If the Jury hadn't even been consulted, the penalty would be maximised, then doubled.
This would allow Juries to protect the public interest and, where reasonable, the private interests of individuals. It would encourage the media to take responsible, rather than merely commercial decisions.
What About Slander
Why would it only be written comments in newspapers where the publisher had to tell the subject first? Surely if I am about to speak about Max in a public area, I'd have to ring him up and tell him that first? Or if I'm going to publish a blog article on a subject? Where does it stop in a Web 2.0 world?
(And of course, publishers would just come and publish in Scotland, much like when Spycatcher was available there and not in the rest of the UK)
erm, did he actually deny it?
"The News of the World printed details and published an online video of an orgy which they said had Nazi overtones.'
Or was he just p1ssed that they published that he was in it and made the video available for anyone to view? I mean, it might have been news if Jacqui had been in the same game at the same time...hmmmmm.
@This is NOT a Binary Decision!
It seems you are confusing "The Public Interest" and "The Interests of the Public". They are different things, just because people want to know about something doesn't make it in the public interest for them to know.
If you take it to the ultimate extreme, I would suggest a large proportion of the male (and a smaller proportion of the female) population want to know what Jessica Alba looks like naked, but it isn't in the public interest for them to know ...
MM == twat
Just as we have dickwads in politics we also have them in "public" life.
I really hope this RW cameltoe gets his comeuppance.
/don't give a fark
///F1? the most boring "sport" on the planet after golf, tennis, football and anything other than WRC
@ @This is NOT a Binary Decision!
"a large proportion of the male (and a smaller proportion of the female) want to know what Jessica Alba looks like naked"
You understand that its for research purposes only.....
@ @ @This is NOT a Binary Decision!
Yes.... All in the name of comparative anatomy research.... which also explains my repeated viewings of a certain Paris-ian Film beloved of Reg readers.
Max Headlice
Just how exactly is an orgy a private activity? A poor guy in MI5 loses his job 'cos his wife's doing a bit of moonlighting on Mosley, and this self-pitying perv's still not got the decency to resign. Even the Hamiltons would have left by now.
It's the News of the Screws for goodness sake: of course they're going to publish, and why not? Personally I can't believe they lost the case: were the Profumo / Lambton / Parkinson / Mellor / Ashdown affairs only reportable because they were all politicians? What about all the clergymen, milkmen, housewives and other latex-wearing sheep-shagging wife-swapping hyphen-bearers the rag has unfrocked for our national education? Why should Mr Mosley be any different, except he's a barrister who's read the ECHR as well as a public figure?
God bless the Sun, for today anyway, and keep our courtrooms free of litigious sinners who protest too much after getting caught with their pants down.
After the bankers...
the press are the worst kind of scum there is; the gutter press at least. Anything which would starve a few papparazo's could sit nicely with me.....odd hey? You sit in front of someone's house and follow them around and you're a stalker and get arrested, do it with a camera and it's legal...?? Though we should support fellow vultures I say no to them!
Think of a world free of such publications......
no sympathy from me
He cheated, he got found out. Serves him right, creepy old bugger.
Contact or not?
Years ago back in the days of Sir Peter Harding and Bienvenida Buck I did a bit of courier work for one of the reporters involved in the above case. He told me they usually contacted the people involved in an article to offer them a chance to put their side across, that way they often found out even more dirt than they already had.
I have to wonder if Mr Mosley was contacted prior to print?
I thought it was the Nazi think that did it.
I must have misread it but I took it that what they did was OK apart from the fact that they stated the Nazi overtones and the defence relied on arguments there weren't.
I thought that was what the damages award was for.
