Running Linux
Author: Matt Welsh & Lar Kaufman
Publisher: O'Reilly & Associates
Price: $24.95
Reviewer: Grant Johnson
There has been an increasing thirst for information about Linux which hasn't been fully quenched by a book...until O'Reilly & Associates got together with Lar Kaufman and Matt Welsh, the Coordinator of the Linux Documentation Project and the author of Linux Installation & Getting Started, to take on this project. Unostentatiously titled Running Linux, this book is a perfect blend of polished knowledge, organized in an easy-to-grasp package, like most books in the O'Reilly line.
Running Linux covers everything you need to install, use and understand the Linux operating system. This cornucopia includes in-depth installation and configuration instructions, tutorial and discussion of programming tools for system and program development, information on system maintenance, network administration guidelines, and everything in between. The book opens with an explanation of the GNU General Public License and some background concepts. It also includes a brief history of the Linux system; starting with the UNIX operating system that was the inspiration for Linux, then covering its creation by Linus Torvalds in 1991, on to the present day—or pretty close.
Continuing on, you'll find a comprehensive installation tutorial that leads you step-by-step through the tedious task of setting up and configuring Linux on your PC, independent of which distribution you decide to use (although some examples from the Slackware distribution are given). All the basic concepts relevant to installation are discussed here, and solutions to many common problems are presented.
Next is a presentation of basic UNIX concepts, most of which are not unique to Linux, but which you need to know to take advantage of Linux. You don't want to drive a fancy, powerful operating system without knowing how to shift and steer it. This chapter teaches you how to shift, steer, stop, and even read maps and road signs.
Running Linux also provides complete information on Linux system and network administration. Basic functions such as repairing file systems, installing software, and administering user accounts are made easy. More advanced features such as UUCP, TCP/IP, e-mail, SLIP, PPP, and other serial telecommunications are also discussed. You are even shown how to provide network services from your Linux machine. This includes a section on configuring your very own World Wide Web (WWW) server and writing HTML (Hyper-Text Markup Language) documents for the WWW.
The programming languages and other system tools features in Linux are thoroughly described in both theory and practice. Among these tools are the gcc C and C++ compiler, the gdb debugger, perl, Tcl and the Tk toolkit, the Emacs and vi editors, text formatting systems such as TeX and tools designed to interface with MS-DOS.
Lastly, Running Linux offers helpful installation and configuration information to make setting up XFree86 a bit easier. This project alone has been known to cause rashes and other stress-induced ailments, but reading the keep-it-simple approach in Running Linux can help keep you healthy...
In short, this book answers the questions the novice users are too afraid to ask, and the questions gurus won't admit they don't know.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Ardfert Cathedral
Ardfert Cathedral (Irish: Ardeaglais Ard Fhearta) is built on the site of a monastery founded in the 6th century by St. Brendan the Navigator. The cathedral is located in the village of Ardfert, County Kerry, Ireland. The site is now managed by the Office of Public Works. Part of the transept has been restored, and houses the entrance and a gift shop.
The cathedral has a Romanesque west doorway with outward pointing chevron decoration in the Anglo-Norman style. It is flanked by blind arcading with lozenge-stonework similar to that found in parts of south-west France.[1] It also has a 13th-century east window and a row of nine lancets in the south wall. Two effigies of ecclesiastical figures of the late 13th- or early 14th-century period are mounted on either side of the east window. The battlements were added in the 15th century. The pre-12th century block of masonry is clearly visible in the north wall. One of the two smaller churches is a fine example of late Romanesque and the other is a plain 15th century structure with a carving of a wyvern on one of the windows.[2][3] In the north-east corner is a double rectangular niche containing a grotesque head with lips pulled back to reveal large teeth. This may be a variant of the 'mouth-puller' motif often found in Spain and western France.[1]
To the north-west of the cathedral itself is Temple-na-hoe, a late Romanesque church, whose chancel has now disappeared. It has decorated three quarter columns instead of antae at each cornerstone, with heads and bird motifs on the capitals. A cornice decorated with spiral bosses supports the roof. The west doorway is plain, but the south window has floral ornament and the chancel arch has chevron ornament.[1]
Further to the north-west is a 15th-century church, Temple-na-Griffin, after the carvings of wyverns inside the windows of the north wall.[1]
The site has three medieval church ruins, the earliest building being from the 12th century, with additions made in the 15th century when a small transept was added and battlements were constructed, an ogham stone and a number of early Christian and medieval grave slabs. The cathedral roof was destroyed during the Irish Rebellion of 1641, but the south transept was re-roofed and extended later in the 17th century when it was converted into a Protestant Church. In 1871, when a new Protestant church was opened, the roof was again removed. Within the adjoining graveyard there are two other churches Temple Na Hoe dating from the 12th century and Temple Na Griffin dating from the 15th century.

Remember Me
Big Jack Johnson :: 10.10.08 & 10.11.08 :: Red's Lounge :: Clarksdale, MS
This particular weekend was juke joint prime time as the club's favorite son, Big Jack Johnson, played a rare two-night run. Johnson, aka the "Oil Man," is a Clarksdale native who in his spare time has been rocking Red's with his brand of blues since it first opened around 30 years ago. By the way, long before it was Red's, the building was Levine's Music Center where a local musician named Ike Turner apparently bought his first instruments. Johnson initially hit the national scene in the early 1960s with the blues trio Frank Frost and the Nighthawks, later known as The Jelly Roll Kings. Consisting of Big Jack on guitar, world-renowned drummer Sam Carr and now deceased keyboardist-harmonica-player Frank Frost, the group is considered by some critics as one of the best blues trios of all time. In more recent days, one might recognize Big Jack's name from headlining major blues festivals or from tracks off the soundtrack to the 2006 film Black Snake Moan.
Although I first saw him perform at Red's during the Juke Joint Festival this past April, it was impossible to truly take in what he was doing through the mass of sweating bodies packed into the club like sardines. This time I was sitting five feet away. With his guitar propped upon his barrel chest, and massive hands gripping the instrument like a kid's toy, my first impression was how extremely fitting the dude's name is. Sitting in his own little corner beneath signs bearing his name, Big Jack rarely moved from his chair during the course of the night, instead holding down his space with the commanding presence of a general. In between the three blistering loud sets, local friends and tourists would casually stroll over for a few words, leaving the bluesman grinning with amusement as he looked out over his familiar stomping ground.
Saturday night's show blew me away. This was the sound I had heard from Big Jack back in April. Tranced out, driving grooves kept emerging throughout the night as the Oil Man's thick hands and fingers furiously slapped the strings of his electric like that of a bass. At no time was this more the case than after a fan from Ohio presented the musician with a special three string cigar-box guitar she had handmade for the occasion. Smiling with his new present in hand, Johnson tore into a number of extended wordless jams echoing with an indescribably twisted and primeval combination of joy and sorrow. At one point chills shot up my spine as I became lost in a dark, thumping rhythm which nearly stirred me to the point of growling into the night like a pissed off bear.
Towards the end of the last set, ridiculously good drummer Cedric Burnside (grandson of the late R.L. Burnside), his bandmate Lightnin' Malcolm and local Clarksdale bluesman Big T casually strolled in to join the party and take over the reins from Big Jack, who obviously was ready to take a load off. Although Cedric was content just observing the scene with a cold one in hand, Big T and Malcolm handled the rest of the music with a few other local guests, and were still playing when I opted to leave in deference to keeping some recollections of the night intact.
The degree to which music, and specifically rock n' roll, has evolved since the days of early bluesmen is a beautiful thing. It is pretty mind-blowing to imagine just how far the boundaries are going to be pushed as some of these musicians reared on advancing 21st century technology really get their footing in coming years. Yet, as this happens, isn't it more important than ever to take pause and look over our shoulders at the stuff that started it all? If you answered yes, then it's places like Red's Lounge that you should check out while you still can.
JamBase | Mississippi Go See Live Music!
excellent fuckin excellent great job andy! im from tennessee and those pics make me long for home! that is the real blues. nice review. damn im jealous! haha
That's a pretty diverse crowd in that place
good observation canoftuna. thats why I love it down there. the south is not always as segregated and racist as some might think.
HAHAHA! Peep the fat guy passed out on the couch. That shit is funny.
I lived in Clarksdale for 20 years and love seeing the blues on Jambase. I went to school with a few of Big Jacks kids and I glad to see he is still playing. If you want good blues Clarksdale is the place to be. I can't wait to get back myself.
I went to the Sunflower Music Fest in clarksdale about 11 years ago and got to meet Sam Carr outside Red's. On the drive there we noticed alot of cars pulled over on the side of the road with a lot of old folks taking pictures. When we got closer we saw what all the hoopla was about, there were 2 500lb pigs gettin it on. It turned out to be the start of a great weekend. T-Model Ford played that year and I remember him calling his big ole wife onto the stage to bring him his flask of whiskey funny shit. The Delta Blues Museum is also in Clarksdale and I think it was opened by Morgan Freeman who is from there.
Woo hoo! RED'S LOUNGE is indeed the "real deal"! Every weekend features the likes of Big Jack Johnson, T-Model Ford, Robert Belfour, Terry "Harmonica" Bean, Wesley "Junebug" Jefferson, etc, etc. It is a must-visit on a trip to the Mississippi Delta. C'mon and join Big Red and Big Jack on April 18th for the 6th annual Juke Joint Festival. You'll be glad you did. More live Delta blues music info at www.cathead.biz and www.msbluestrail.org .

Through explorations of the three pillars of Zen--teaching, practice, and enlightenment--Roshi Philip Kapleau presents a comprehensive overview of the history and discipline of Zen Buddhism. An established classic, this 35th anniversary edition features new illustrations and photographs, as well as a new afterword by Sensei Bodhin Kjolhede, who has succeeded Philip Kapleau as spiritual director of the Rochester Zen Center, one of the oldest and most influential Zen centers in the United States.
Roshi Philip Kapleau, founder of the Rochester Zen Center, has studied and taught Zen for more than 50 years, after first encountering Zen Buddhism as a reporter at the war crimes trials in Japan in 1946. While there he met D.T. Suzuki and in 1950 began to study Buddhist philosophy, completing over sixteen years of study and practice in both Japan and America. Roshi Kapleau lives in Rochester.
"The Three Pillars of Zen is still, in my opinion, the best book in English that has been written on Zen Buddhism."--Huston Smith, author of The Worlds' Religions and Forgotten Truth

(French: burning room)
A commission created in the Parliament of Paris in 1547 for the purpose of trying heretics. This name was given, some say, because the place where the commission sat was lighted exclusively by torches, while others see in it a reference to the severity displayed by this court towards the Huguenots. The term was also applied to a court established by Louis XIV to stamp out poisoning and sorcery.New Catholic Dictionary

Robert Napier (engineer)
This article's lead section may not adequately summarize key points of its contents. (October 2013) |
Robert Napier (21 June 1791 – 23 June 1876) was a Scottish engineer known for his contributions to Clyde Shipbuilding.
Early life[edit]
Robert Napier was born in Dumbarton at the height of the Industrial Revolution, to James and Jean Napier. James was of a line of esteemed bell-wrights, blacksmiths, and engineers, with a brother (also named Robert) who served as blacksmith for the Duke of Argyll at Inveraray Castle.
Robert was educated at the burgh school where he took an interest in drawing, which reflected in his later life in an interest in painting and fine arts. Against his father's hopes that he would become a minister in the Church of Scotland, he developed an interest in the family business. At age sixteen, he was confronted by a Royal Navy press gang who intended to conscript him into service during the Napoleonic Wars. Instead of allowing his son to be conscripted, James Napier signed a contract of formal indenture with his son, making him immune to conscription.
Robert's apprenticeship with his father lasted for five years, after which time he moved to Edinburgh and worked for Robert Stevenson, builder of the Bell Rock Lighthouse.
In 1823 he won a contract to build a steam engine for the paddle steamer Leven. The engine was so good that it was later fitted to another ship, the paddle steamer Queen of Beauty. The Leven engine – his first engine – now rests at the Denny Ship Model Experiment Tank branch of the Scottish Maritime Museum in Dumbarton.
In 1827, Robert Napier had the unique distinction of having built the engines of both of the two fastest ships to compete in the Northern Yacht Club's August Regatta. These were the paddle steamers Clarence and Helensburgh. This distinction earned him a reputation as a shipbuilder, which furthered his career, as did also his co-operation on hull design with Thomas Assheton Smith: see C.Dawson, "Thomas Assheton Smith's Steam Yachts", The Mariner's Mirror, Vol.92, Issue 3, August 2006. In 1828 he established Glasgow's Vulcan Foundry.
Many of Scotland's most esteemed shipbuilders apprenticed under Robert Napier, including James and George Thomson, who founded the J & G Thomson shipyard (now known as John Brown & Company), and John Elder of the Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Company.
Robert Napier continued building steamship engines, eventually expanding into steam engines for ocean-going vessels. In 1835 he procured a controversial contract with the East India Company to build an engine for their ship, the paddle steamer Berenice which, built by David Napier, (Robert's cousin) and using Robert's engine, proved faster than her sister ship, the paddle steamer Atalanta (built on the Thames) – beating her to India by 18 days on their maiden voyage.
In 1838, Robert Napier was contracted by the Admiralty to produce 280 NHP engines for two of their ships, the first class paddle steamer sloops Stromboli and Vesuvius but after that, orders ceased. When Napier had this queried in Parliament, the reply proved that Napier's engines were cheaper and more reliable than those built in the Admiralty's usual shipyards on the Thames. Thereafter, Robert Napier was the Admiralty's primary engine builder.
Robert Napier's largest success, however, came from his business deals with Samuel Cunard. Together with Cunard, James Donaldson, Sir George Burns, and David MacIver, he co-founded the British and North American Royal Mail Steam Packet Company. It seems that Napier could be considered responsible for the livery of the Cunard funnels, since the vermilion colour and black hoops were already used on earlier Napier-engined ships, as evidenced by the shipbuilder's model of P.S. "Menai" of 1830 in the Scottish Transport Museum in Glasgow. In 1841 he expanded his company to include an iron shipbuilding yard in Govan and the Parkhead Forge Steelworks, and in 1843 they produced their first ship, the Vanguard. He also procured a contract with the Royal Navy to produce vessels, notably the Jackal, the Lizard, and the Bloodhound, which became the first iron vessels in the Royal Navy. He also allowed naval officers in training to visit the shipyard to familiarise themselves with the new vessels. The Parkhead Forge was acquired by William Beardmore and Company in 1886. Napier's Shipyard in Govan was also later acquired by Beardmore's in 1900 before being sold on to Harland & Wolff in 1912, and before finally closing in 1962. The Parkhead Forge would eventually close in 1976.
Honours and awards[edit]
- In 1851 he served as a juror at the Crystal Palace Exhibition
- In 1855 he served as a juror at the Exposition Universelle in Paris.
- Appointed a Chevalier of the Légion d'honneur by Napoleon III.
- In 1863, he became President of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers.
- In 1867, Napoleon III made him Royal Commissioner of the Paris Exhibition, and presented him to Empress Eugenie.
- In 1868 he was made Commander of the Most Ancient Order of Dannebrogby King Christian IX of Denmark. Napier's yard had built the iron battleship "Rolf Krake" for the Danish Navy in 1863.
- In 2014 he was inducted into the Scottish Engineering Hall of Fame,[1]
Art patronage[edit]
Napier never lost his early interest in art. He built his home in Shandon, by the Gareloch, to house his sizeable art collection, which included work by artists such as Henry Raeburn and Horatio McCulloch, as well as art by Dutch, French and Italian masters.
In 1875 his wife of 57 years, Isabella, died. Shortly afterwards, Robert Napier fell seriously ill, and died the next year, in 1876. He is buried in the Parish Kirkyard, in Dumbarton.

How People Watch TV in Clearwater
Here are just a few nuggets of cable TV knowledge relevant to Clearwater. One-third of Americans have at least 4 televisions, and 97% of the population watches regularly scheduled TV. In addition to that, 72% of U.S. TV subscribers bundle digital television with a high-speed Internet service. Which is one reason why nearly 48% of people stream some of their TV online. In Clearwater, that means there are 114 people with multiple televisions, 334 people watching scheduled programming, 248 bundling their cable services and 165 of those bundlers who stream TV online.

Chile under Carrera also witnessed the reception of the first United States envoy to Latin America, Joel Roberts Poinsette. Great Britain was deeply involved in Spain's defense against Napoleon's forces, and many in Chile sought to maintain trade ties with their ally, however another group sought to cultivate trade ties with the young United States. |

Nevertheless, there were segregated militias of free people of color from the 18th century, and black soldiers, both slave and free, were important parts of the Republican armies. This broadside, announcing the Law of the Free Womb, was the first step towards abolition, declaring the freedom of all children born to slaves after 31 January 1813. |

These lightweight Safecraft model LT fire extinguishers are designed for use in both Circle Track and drag racing. Along with their lightweight cylinder, the model LTs have a very compact discharge head, which gives them a smaller overall size. The activation portion of the discharge head can be rotated to align with the cable, providing much more installation flexibility. The discharge head is machined from billet aluminum, anodized for great looks, and has two separate discharge ports. This lets you run separate lines to the driver and engine compartments.
Some parts are not legal for sale or use in California on any pollution-controlled motor vehicles

That is true for woven silk ties...not true for knits (which, this shittastic fake could arguably be, assuming lots of things).
That said, I definitely agree, as per my post earlier. Totally fake for a million other reasons.
Hermes 100% fake and not even close. Hermes lines run 11 to 5 diagonally, not 9 to 3 horizontally. The tie stay is also wrong.
For anyone that finds camel hair or harris tweed blazers that are ripped, ruined, or unsellable , please message me.
Not quite. You can keep all but one of the buttons too.
HAhaha! Tired and true!
Wow, thanks for that link. Very helpful in general!
If anyone has a Barney's outlet nearby, check it out ASAP.
It seems like they finally figured out to run a proper outlet store
Yes...and, whatevs, I will largely (see: entirely) validate the chosen language of this post since I mostly pay no attention to this stuff (though I obviously should).
You got my point, haha.

A lovely Cornas wine in the modern style, produced by Alain Graillot's son, Max and friend Thomas Schmittel. This sexy Syrah which scored 93/100 with The Wine Spectator is drinking well now, but could be cellared for a decade.
A dense, dark, brooding wine which sets the benchmark for the appellation. Typically a bouquet of red fruit with underlying hints of leather, spice and wood-smoke precedes a palate of profound concentration and structure with a wealth of dark, black fruit and peppery flavours over rugged tannins, which soften and sweeten with age.
'Renaissance' is a slightly lighter, more forward and approachable wine than the Clapes' classic Cornas but it still displays all the signature characteristics of this domaine - a bouquet of dark hedgerow berries, a core of complex black fruit tastes with a grainy texture and a fine structure of tannins.

What I've Learned From Pole Dancing
The last thing I learned is that sexy is a
state of mind. I've known this for
awhile now, but dancing has reinforced it for me. I realized that when I'm in class, I'm usually
too worried about learning the next move to really enjoy being in my body and
moving to the music. I get stuck in my
head about the mechanics of the whole thing, and when I look at myself in the
mirror I realize that I'm moving stiffly and mechanically. Once I get the next move, I'm able to be more
in my body. Then when I get home and
practice what I can, I'm much more relaxed.
I take the time to listen to the music and really move with it. I feel sexy, and it shows. That state of mind makes me feel better about
my 42 year old body, regardless of what the scale says. It makes me feel better about myself in a
"yeah, I've still got it" kind of way. More
importantly, it helps me to love myself more.
Women tend to pick on ourselves for physical imperfections, and that
gets worse as we age. Dancing, both the
classes and the home practice, is reminding me that there is a lot to love
about being in a female form, pulsating with the creative energy inherent in
And yes, I am trying to figure out where I
could install a pole in my home.

By James Slater: Both in their forties, veteran heavyweight contenders and former world title challengers Frans Botha and Monte Barrett keep on fighting. Two Gunz, of New York actually won his last fight, a 12-round decision over the now-retired David Tua, and Monte will face another New Zealander in July, when he will swap punches with Shane Cameron, 28-2(21). South Africas Botha, however, was beaten and TKOd in his last ring adventure; by the much younger (arent most fighters younger than Botha today?) Carlos Takam in France. The White Buffalo, will face unbeaten Italian hope and former European Union champ, Francesco Pianeta, 25-0-1(14) in Germany on May 16th. Both Barrett and Botha are still talking a great fight, too. Barrett, in New Zealand for the official press conference, wrote and delivered a poem as he predicted he would KO Cameron, AKA The Mountain Warrior. Barrett, 35-9-2(20) spoke of Camerons brutal 2nd-round loss to Tua, saying that Cameron is getting a shot to redeem himself, and that he better just be happy and thank me. Barrett also spoke of the possibility of facing New Zealand rugby player, turned pro boxer Sonny Bill Williams after hes beaten Cameron. It seems Two Gunz, who seems to enjoy boxing in New Zealand, will continue making a decent living in the country. Against 34-year-old Cameron, who has boxed a number of his fights down at cruiserweight, Barrett should have enough experience and enough of a weight advantage to be able to pull out a win. But this one might go the distance. Botha, though, looks headed for another loss. Today in Germany, the former top contender said In my last fight I wasnt really fit. I want to prove myself in Frankfurt. If I cant win the fight, Im going to think about quitting. Botha should indeed think long and hard about walking away. Loser of three of his last four (all losses coming via stoppage) and 48-7-3(29) overall, Botha will be facing a big (65 around 240-pound) southpaw in Pianeta and the 27-year-old looks a sure winner. Will Botha get stopped again seems to be the only question, and how quickly. I can see Pianeta, a title prospect who his in need of stepping up his quality of opposition (wins over Matt Skelton, Scott Gammer and the then unbeaten Mike Marrone were quite a while ago now) banging Botha out in around eight-rounds or less. The end cannot be far away; for Barrett or for Botha.

He sent the two young men back and said to the third one, "You have at least this much awareness - that when even your senses are unable to see, when there is no light at all, even then, you are a witness. And to perceive the inner witness the senses are not needed."
No matter how dark a room may be, where you are unable to see anything at all, even there you are conscious of your own presence. You may not be able to see the walls of the room or the objects in the room or the other people in the room, but no darkness can erase the experience of your own presence. Under all circumstances you will be there and you will know it, that you are there. Your own presence is self-evident, it is not proved through any medium. This is why all the enlightened ones have said that all the experiences of the world are indirect; only the experience of your own self, of self-realization, is direct.
This looks very paradoxical. We normally think that everything is direct, a first-hand experience. The trees are visible, people are visible, everything is in front of your eyes. But the awakened ones say that all the experiences of the world, of the outer, are indirect because our eyes are working as a medium, they are in between. You are hidden behind the eyes, the object to be known is outside and in the middle are the eyes, like a broker. The eyes can deceive. This knowledge is not direct, not immediate: there is a medium between the knowledge and the knower. So if somebody is suffering from jaundice he will see yellow where in fact there is no yellow. If somebody has some defect in his eyes - say, they are color-blind - then that man cannot distinguish between colors at all. What is the reliability of the eyes? What is the guarantee that the eyes are reporting rightly? No, one simply trusts the eyes.
Now this is a very amazing fact: that people ask for proof of everything but they never ask their own senses for any proof of what they are reporting. What is the evidence that your eyes are seeing correctly? The charvakas and other atheists have accepted only one evidence: that which is manifest, visible; they say they will believe only what is in front of their eyes. But those charvakas never ask themselves: on what basis are they trusting their eyes so much? Does the eye always see rightly? No, because it also sees dreams in the night: they are visible, manifest, but not real. Sometimes they see a rope lying on the path as a snake, and when they see the snake in the rope the snake looks very real. But when light is brought in you don't find any snake there. You can also see a mirage in the desert.

February Fan of the Month
Hi! My name is Julie and I have been married for 26 years; have two sons ages 21 & 15; and live on a family ranch/farm in SD. I have been a teacher for 25 years at Colome High School – Home of the Cowboys and Cowgirls!
My favorite Martina song is "Blessed" because God has given me so many blessings in my life. I have never met Martina, but I have enjoyed seeing her in concert. My most memorable Martina concert experience was at the South Dakota State Fair several years ago when it started raining. I am on the short side, and some tall guys in cowboy hats were in front of me. The rain changed from a sprinkle to a nice rain, and those boys were not tough enough to take it. When they left, I was able to see the stage! We couldn't believe that Martina kept performing. It was awesome! I have had the privilege of seeing two of her Christmas shows, and her performances can really make the holiday season special. I am looking forward to her concert in Brookings on Feb. 13!
Martina Has Been Nominated for an ACM Award!
A big congratulations to Martina McBride who has been nominated for Female Vocalist of the Year!

Loading... Arlington Parkby Rachel CuskLoading...
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Loved her short story 'Portraits' This book takes place over the course of one ordinary day, in Arlington Park, a private housing estate just outside London. The viewpoint switches between four or five female characters as they go through their daily routines, and captures their thoughts. Unfortunately, I found this book quite disappointing. There isn't really a plot to speak of; this is very much a character driven story. This in itself would not be a problem, except for the fact that there wasn't a single likeable character amongst the entire cast in this book! The book is populated by women who have nice houses in a nice area, are at least fairly well off financially, and have happy and healthy children. Now while I fully accept that having all of these things does not preclude someone from being unhappy or depressed, I would have thought that at least one of the characters might have been quite contented with her life. But unfortunately, all of the women in this book just seemed to be unhappy – and more irritatingly, they seemed determined to remain so. I ended up feeling frustrated with them, and wanting to point out how fortunate they were. There's no doubt that Rachel Cusk can write beautifully – the scenes from a school literary club were extremely believeable, as were the few pages describing the park (of Arlington Park) just after school had broken up for the day. Cusk captures the minutiae of a mundane or ordinary day very well, and at these points, I did find myself nodding in recognition at some of the observations she made. The characters were also well fleshed out. I just didn't like any of them! The other thing that bothered me about the book was the significance attached to the smallest things. For example, one wife spots a smear of butter accidentally left on the work surface by her husband. The author likens it to a small mark of (the husband's masculinity). Well, it could be, I suppose. Or it could just be that the husband accidentally left some butter there. It felt as though there had to be some deep significance to everything that the characters saw, however trivial, however small. Overall, while I can certainly appreciate the writing, and the attention to detail, this book just didn't work for me. It was too miserable, and the characters just ended up being unsympathetic and unlikeable. Another book club read which I found very hard going. None of the main characters inspired me - all seemed unhappy or depressed about their lot. I never found the humour nor the beauty promised by the critics! I think the best way to judge this book would be to decide whether I'd read another by the same author, and on reflection I would probably try one sometime. It's mostly a character study with no real plot to speak off.
Various thirty something mothers in suburban Arlington Park ramble through a the day pontificating on their trials and tribulations, relationships, children, work, the state of the world, that kind of thing. I was expecting more in the way of unification between the separate threads of the book but in the end I didn't really object to the lack of it. And I would have preferred it if the threads had entwined a bit quicker.
There were so many great characterisations, not just the major players but some of the unseen minor ones (the headmistress silently making "tucking motions" to girls with their school shirts hanging loose will stick in my head, just too true to life!) though that I'm left with a good impression of the book now I know the whole of it whereas when reading it I was sometimes wondering where it was going. This book is all about thirty-something women with kids, their various dissatisfactions, obsessions and innermost thoughts. Their relationships with their husbands, their children, and their female friends, and the awful way they treat eachother, intentionally or not. Nothing spectacular happens, it's all fairly mundane, but the author's skill is in teasing out the emotions underlying everyday life, and the fantastic dialogue she writes. Any one of the characters could be someone you know, and it's both witty and profound at the same time. My only criticism is that some of the comparisons she draws are a bit deep and overly obscure at times. Some sections I had to read over and over and still didn't grasp the point she was trying to make. Still, it made for highly intelligent reading, and with three words I had never even heard of within the first fifty pages, it improved my vocabulary too. no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0374100802, Hardcover)Set in a moderately posh suburb of London, acclaimed British novelist Rachel Cusk's Arlington Park is a captivating exploration of how the simple act of living can become an excruciating exercise in self-deprivation, hypocrisy, and desperation. Set over the course of a single day, the novel follows a group of young mothers who feel both anger at the husbands who seemingly imprisoned them in a world of minivans and coffee klatches, and resignation about the fates they seem destined to fulfill.While Arlington Park may deal in toddlers and tater tots, it is certainly not another generic Mommy Lit clone. Cusk is a skilled writer, and in her hands, a dreary lunch at the mall food court is transformed into "lost property, but for people." As the day progresses, we watch as Juliet chops her hair off in a small, if meaningless act of rebellion, Amanda stifles a burning desire to scream at a neighbor's kid for ruining her white sofa, Maisie blames her parents for not loving her enough while throwing her daughter's lunchbox at the kitchen wall, and Christine stuffs chicken breasts while silently cursing her husband for spending too much time getting ready for a dinner party. In each scene, the oppressiveness is almost unbearable, prompting readers to practically beg these women to flee as far and as fast as is humanely possible. Of course, in driving her readers to the edge of frustration and outrage, Cusk succeeds in creating a novel that penetrates deeper than most. Still, after turning the last page, you might find yourself reaching for a little Mommy Lit candy to take the edge off. --Gisele Toueg (retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:24:32 -0400) Arlington Park, a modern-day English suburb, is a place devoted to the profitable ordinariness of life. Set over the course of a single rainy day, this novel moves from one household to another, and through the passing hours conducts a deep examination of its characters' lives. Originally published: 2006.… (more) |

the real reasonSubmitted by guesty on Tue, 10/07/2008 - 12:08pm.
It is because parents with children going there are involved in their child's education. We don't look at it as a free daycare. Try to become involved and see if the scores go up in your "hood" school. The schools in the "hood" don't have any parental support or help.

The city needs it's governing body here FIRST to clean up the city and make decisions locally before seeking assistance/cooperation elsewhere. If we were in a perfectly balanced budget scenario, and the economy was thriving, I have no qualms with this. However, this is not the time or place for this type of lavish spending. »
