Humble Pie Rocks The Fillmore Again
What could be better than a serving of vintage Humble Pie?
Why, four servings, of course.
1971ŌĆÖs Performance: RockinŌĆÖ The Fillmore caught the original Humble Pie lineupŌĆödrummer Jerry Shirley, bassist/vocalist Greg Ridley, guitarist/vocalist
Peter Frampton, and Steve Marriott on vocals, guitar and harpŌĆöin full flight at the legendary Fillmore East in May of that year. The album has long been considered an example of classic blues/rock at its sweat-soaked finest, with the quartet sounding powerful and confident.
The fact of the matter is there were four shows in that Fillmore runŌĆötwo each on Friday, May 28 and Saturday, May 29ŌĆöand Omnivore Recordings has gathered all of them into the new Performance: RockinŌĆÖ The Fillmore ŌĆō The Complete Recordings box set.
The 4-CD collection features freshly mixed audio, but there wasnŌĆÖt any editing or re-sequencing, according to Frampton, who co-produced the new Performance collection with Shirley. (The two are the only surviving members of the original Humble Pie: Ridley passed away due to pneumonia complications in 2003 and Marriott died in a tragic house fire in 1991.)
ŌĆ£It was amazing to hear the new mixes of these shows after all these years,ŌĆØ says Frampton. ŌĆ£This really was that version of Humble Pie at the peak of its powersŌĆöplaying in a venue with a wonderful vibe.ŌĆØ
You can hear the excitement in MarriottŌĆÖs voice when the band hits the stage for the first Friday show. ŌĆ£IŌĆÖve got a new axe!ŌĆØ he yells to the wildly applauding crowd. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs too muchŌĆöitŌĆÖs gonna make me rock on, man!ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£That wouldŌĆÖve been SteveŌĆÖs Epiphone Coronet,ŌĆØ says Frampton, who explains that the guitar was ŌĆ£a double-cutaway with a single P-90 pickup.ŌĆØ Part of the power of the Performance shows is the combination of the Coronet and FramptonŌĆÖs triple-pickup Les Paul CustomŌĆöthe same guitar that he used on 1976ŌĆÖs eight-times-over platinum-selling album Frampton Comes Alive! (The black Gibson subsequently went missing for 30 years until Frampton was
reunited with it in 2012, but thatŌĆÖs a story for another day.)
Another factor was the bandŌĆÖs ŌĆ£volume wars,ŌĆØ Frampton admits. ŌĆ£We started with Steve having a Marshall Plexi 50-watt amp and I had a 100-wattŌĆ"with
4x12 speaker cabinets. Then, Steve got a 100-watt Marshall, so I added his old 50 to my setup. Then, he added another 50 to his 100,ŌĆØ says Frampton, cracking up at the memory.
Surprisingly, the abundance of amps and speaker cabinets enabled the Pie to balance their sound onstage. ŌĆ£We mixed and matched,ŌĆØ explains Frampton. ŌĆ£One of my cabinets would be on my side and the other one on SteveŌĆÖsŌĆöand the same for his. We crisscrossed the guitars, plus Greg had bass cabinets on either side of JerryŌĆÖs drums. It worked really well for us.ŌĆØ
ThereŌĆÖs much more to Humble PieŌĆÖs performances at the Fillmore than sheer volume, howeverŌĆöfrom the amazing gutter gospel workout of ŌĆ£I Walk on Gilded SplintersŌĆØ to the blistering rock/jazz jam of ŌĆ£Stone Cold FeverŌĆØ during the first show on May 29. ŌĆ£Yes, we went full-tilt at times,ŌĆØ says Frampton, ŌĆ£but we had a lot of dynamics as well. WeŌĆÖd slam you against the wall, but then, weŌĆÖd bring it right down and you could hear a pin drop. The dynamics played a huge role in thingsŌĆöand I have to credit Steve with that.
ŌĆ£I learned a lot from Steve,ŌĆØ Frampton continues. ŌĆ£LetŌĆÖs face it, he was brilliant. And he was an endearing soul onstage. He said exactly what was on his mind at any given timeŌĆösometimes it was embarrassing, sometimes it was hilarious. And the audience just lapped him up.ŌĆØ
One of the things that was on Steve MarriottŌĆÖs mind at the Fillmore was the ŌĆ£blue flashesŌĆØ that he was getting from his mic stand. ŌĆ£You can hear [that] heŌĆÖs getting shocks,ŌĆØ explains Frampton. ŌĆ£There was a grounding problemŌĆöprobably because of the extra gear where we were recording the shows.ŌĆØ
MarriottŌĆÖs reactions are the sort of element that make the new Performance collection so good, according to Frampton. ŌĆ£I love to hear Steve. I love that
all his communication to the audience and to us is captured here,ŌĆØ he says.
ŌĆ£You have to remember: I had not heard a lot of this stuff until now. At the time of the original album, we knew which show we wanted to mix and thatŌĆÖs what we concentrated on.
ŌĆ£Listening to all the music from the Fillmore run and the conversations between tracks now is just amazing. I got chills hearing SteveŌĆÖs banterŌĆöI really did.ŌĆØ

OT Need to let you know some sad news
All of you know our forum group is like "family" to Karen/Purplemoon. She asked me to let all of you know her unexpected and sad news. Her Dad passed away yesterday afternoon.
She really needs our prayers and support as she goes through this time of loss and grief.
As you know, he had to be taken to the hospital a few days ago. Karen said he deteriorated rapidly yesterday morning and then went into heart failure. Karen, her three children and two of his grown grandchildren were there with him when he quietly passed.
This is such a big loss for Karen, her Dad has lived with her for some time, and she has been his full time caregiver since last June when he became bedridden.
He was a very warm and loving man. You've all heard Karen talk about how he loved to tell his jokes and make others laugh.
Karen may not feel up to posting on the forum for awhile, but we can let her know she is in our thoughts and prayers and offer words of condolence here and in private emails to her.
Much love to you and your family Karen, I know your hearts are heavy and sad at the loss of your Dad. Let the knowledge that he has gone to his heavenly home comfort you. You know he has been warmly welcomed by your Mom, who went before him. Now he will be with the Lord and no longer suffer any discomfort or pain.
Love and prayers,
Thank you, luvs...oh, this is always such a difficult journey...I will send an email to Karen & if you are reading this post sometime in the future, Karen...know that you are continued to be in thought & prayer...hugs to you & your family. Jeanne S.
Karen - I am sending my thoughts and prayers with my deepest sympathy. You can take comfort in knowing that you were there to take care of your father when he neededd you. Knowing you did all you could will help you get through the months ahead. - Marylee
Karen, I am so sorry for the loss of you father. It's so hard to find the right words at a time like this. As Marylee said you can take comfort in knowing you were there for him when he needed you. He was truly blessed to have such a loving caring daughter. NanaK
Oh, Karen, I am so, so sorry for your loss.
Luvs wrote, "Karen, her three children and two of his grown grandchildren were there with him when he quietly passed."
Karen, if there is a "good way" to pass, this has to be it. It is certain that his loving nature brought you all to his side in the end.
I know how the tears will flow. Let them. I am praying for you and his dearly departed soul.
Oh My...I just wrote a post about Karen before I read this.
I am so sorry to hear this sad news.
Karen...I am so very sorry for your loss and send my prayers and deepest sympathy to you and your family.
You - your Dad and all your family were blessed to be together when it was time to say good-bye.
May his dear soul rest in peace...and
May you find peace and comfort in knowing how blessed he was to have such a loving and caring daughter in his life..
Prayers and thoughts are with you and your family Karen...
I am so sorry to hear this news.
I know you did everything possible for your Dad.
I am sending my deepest sympathies to you and your family!
He was blessed to have such a loving and caring daughter. How fortunate that you and your family were able to have been at his side when he went home.
He went from a loving family to a greater love and a place where he is free from the restrictions of his earthly body.
I hope you find comfort knowing that he is in a better place and that you have loving memories of him to cherish and sustain you.
Words are not enough but my prayers are with you all.
Praying for some peace and comfort for you and your family. What a wonderful memory to have that you had this last year with your dear father, and were company and love to him. He was lucky to have you, just as you were to have his closeness.
This is bringing tears to my eyes. I knew when I read Jane's post that something wasn't right. Luvs, thanks so much for letting us know Dear Dad went to be with his Savior.
Karen, you should be a very proud daughter for the way you cared for your Dad. You will always miss him but have so many beautiful memories with him.
Thanks so much for sharing your DD with all of us while he was with you. Please give his little dog lots of Hugs and Kisses from all of us too.
Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.
Sharing Your Sorrow and Sending My Love, Punk
O Lord (((Karen))).
I'm so sorry to hear this terrible news. :(
Know that when it was needed most , your neverending care and devotion was always there.
I'm certain he knew how much you loved and cared for him. Now he's at peace with your Mom and I pray so much for comfort to you and your family in these heartwrenching coming days.
Let the tears flow at their will. Sometimes it's neccessary.
Big Hugs!
Karen, may I add my condolences and prayers to all the others. I was just sitting here thinking about all the hassle you went through with the rehab center and that all things happen for a reason. God in His wisdom and love knew that you and your DD needed these last few days together. Your Father raised a very special daughter and I know that he was very proud of you. Not every parent raises their children with the loving and caring spirit that we have all seen in you. Treasure the memories and take good care of yourself. Janet
Luvs, thanks for passing this on. Karen, I'm just a couple of steps behind where you are as I care for my dad along with my mom & I see slow changes & know time is coming, as I think you showed in some of your emails. So glad you were all together at the end & his last remembrances would be of his family! That is what we all hope for. Hugs & prayers for comfort & strength to get through the coming days. Jan
Luvs, I am in shock. The last email I got was that he was doing better the next day after he had gone into the hospital.
My deepest sympathy to Karen & her family! I just don't know what else to say, I've never been good at times like this.
Just know we all love you here & are sending prayers for all of you at this time.
BIG HUGE HUGS to you & your family!

Platform will primarily deliver ads to apps supported by Internet-connected TVs
Video ad network Yume and LG Electronics have partnered to create an ad platform for Internet-connected televisions. Toyota has already signed on as the platform's charter advertiser.
The platform will primarily deliver ads to apps supported by Internet-connected TVs. Some ads, including those from Toyota, would also appear when viewers are navigating other connected aspects of their TVs, such as the app store.
The hope is to combine the interactive and tracking capabilities of Internet ads with the large screen and high-resolution of television. Yume said it hopes to use behavioral tracking patterns it has gleaned from its online ad network to better target the ads on Web-enabled TVs.
"The LG ad platform will enable several common digital ad formats such as interactive display banners, in-banner video and in-stream video as well as some new ad units such as click to sponsored applications and search-related ad units," said Sam Chang, general manager of LG's Smart TV Innovation Development Group, in a statement.
Yume, which is based in Redwood City, CA, will sell the ads and split the revenue between LG and the application providers. Yume's ad platform will be available to other manufacturers of connected TVs, as well. As of now, no other such deals have been announced.
About 42 million homes around the world have an Internet-connected TV, and most of them are in the U.S., according to an October report from Strategy Analytics. The percentage of U.S. homes with an Internet-connected TV is about 20 percent.

Try having VOIP with 600ms of latency, or just a video chat. It is incredibly annoying.
Much less annoying than having to route all of your communications through a short-wave radio. I'll take VOIP (or even video chat) over a terrible VSAT connection any day. In fact, I do. It's all a matter of perspective.

Getting around
Public transport is located 2 mins walk away. All the city's sights are within easy walking distance of the pub. The Castle 6 mins walk away. public car parking located 200 meters behind the pub at a cost of €2 a day.
Excellent room and even better hosts! Hung out down stairs with everyone and they really made us feel welcome. Definitely recommend anyone to this awesome place.
Great little room with bathroom. Central location. Easy walk to the center of town / medieval mile. Eamonn's brother greeted us upon arrival. The stairwell to the rooms has a separate entrance that lets you go straight outside or into the pub. We got to visit with Eamonn when we stopped in for a nightcap before bed. He was very warm and welcoming. I hear there is free parking nearby but we found the self-parking lot just past the pub on John's Green which costs €2 for 24hrs to be easy and reasonably priced. If you are a light sleeper, or if you've traveled far and this is at the beginning of the trip I'd suggest bringing ear plugs & an eye mask. There wasn't any noise from the pub, but sometimes people outside were noisy. I was having some trouble with jet lag, popped in ear plugs and went right back to sleep. All-in-all a great stay. We enjoyed this stay, and the price so much that we ended up trying to spend the rest of our week in Ireland at pubs too.
We really enjoyed our stay with Eamonn. The room is pretty standard but is perfectly adequate and great value for money. Eamonn was very accommodating regarding check in and check out times.
The place is on a convenient location, few minutes of walk to everything this charming city has to offer. The room is basic, but clean. For the price it is in fact a very good place and would come back again.

My Name is Eamonn I am a grandson of the late Mrs O 'Gorman who owned and ran the pub which is known as Kilkenny House O'Gorman's the pub was originally bought by my great great grandparents Daniel and Rose. making me the fifth generation to run the establishment. We have Recently renovated the living accommodation over the pub to en suite private rooms for rental consisting
of 3 double rooms 1 twin room and 1 single room.
O' Gormans style as a "local" is what makes it unique, and the pub takes its style from its customers. It's a noted venue for pre- and post hurling match "get togethers", being so close to Nowlan Park and the train station.

Probably a true statement, but that doesn't mean that all religions have people they want to murder.
In response to:
Dang it John, I should have expected such hateful and violence ridden rhetoric to come from some far-right wing wacko like you ... by the way, where can "I" sign up for a judgeship? Sounds like it can be more fun than a hockey match!!! Love your columns!! Keep it coming!!
And I hope they do ... my previous post was not meant to insult, so I apologize if taken that way. However, with a basic understanding of science it can be easily seen what buffoons these people are. Especially in light of the East Anglia email fiasco.
Would you believe them anymore if they did ... that is as long as they spout the party line? I am not a climate scientist either, but I have studied science in school - like almost all of us have (at least I hope we have). Something is a fact or it is not. Science is not "settled" on consensus. I don't care how many physicists come to a consensus that gravity does not exist - it does. It is a fact, it is demonstrable, it is calculable, its effects can be accurately predicted and measured (if you are in doubt, look up science on moon shots - gravity calculations play a pretty big role in getting off this planet and onto the moon). The only thing that can be measured with all these GW predictions is the high percentage of failure of their predicted output to actually occur. Hell, they can't accurately predict current weather from week to week, it simply isn't possible to predict what will happen in 10, 20, 50, or 100 years from now. However, pushing the timeline out ensures there won't be anyone that is alive now to point out, "I told you that you were off your rocker!"
I agree, he needs to go back to crying on the Senate floor ... he looked good doing that ... Boehner, not so much :)
It may be a little over your head - it was clear to me by the title alone. However, to be fair, there wasn't a lot of talk about them slowing down their warnings any.
In response to:
The depth and breadth of your idiocy apparently knows no bounds. Apparently your lack of historical perspective knows none either. When you look across the nation the states in good shape fiscally and for jobs are almost universally conservative, and liberal/democrat for those in the worst. Pull your head out of wherever it may be. There is a real world out there. Join it.

Recent Jackson Hole area Reviews
Photo's do not capture the beauty.
I was recently at the Three Bear Tracks home in Teton Village. The photo's are out of date on this site and it would be hard to capture the essence of this beautiful home anyway. It gives you the feel of being in the middle of the forest with many animals seen daily. It is quiet and private but three blocks from the village with lots of activities during any season. We even figured out how to ski back to the house. Great trip! Can't wait to go again.
The Lazy Willow is truly a piece of heaven
My wife and I stayed at the Lazy Willow for four days over the long Labor Day weekend and were completely enchanted by the cabin, its proximity to everything we wanted to do, and by the hospitality of its owners. The home itself is an incredible rustic log cabin with so many fantastic touches, decorations and amenities that we instantly fell in love with it. We can't possibly summarize all the details here but suffice it to say you will have every amenity you have at home and more including comfortable beds and a great flat screen tv in the living room (although we never found time to really use it). We did, however, find time to use the bikes and helmets Chuck provided for free (we took a nice ride from Moose to Jenny lake which we greatly recommend), a game of ladder golf on the lawn and, not to mention, the ping pong table in the garage which were pleasant surprises! The home itself is on beautiful pastureland with views of the Tetons all around. There are a couple of other cabins nearby but the property is designed in a way that you feel mostly isolated. My wife and I also LOVED sitting on the outdoor deck for breakfast and also having some wine at night gazing at stars under the most unbelievable star filled night sky. The cabin is close enough to everything (10 minutes or so to Jackson and 15-20 minutes to Grand Teton national park) that you get the wonderful feel of the grandeur and beauty of Wyoming while being close enough to restaurants and nightlife if you so desire. The drive to Jackson is particularly easy. Finally, I have to emphasize what an incredible host Chuck, the owner of the cabin, was. He sent us pamphlets and his own personal recommendations of things to do, trails to hike and places to eat in the Jackson/Grand Teton/Yellowstone area far in advance of our actual stay. He also had a surprise waiting for us upon arrival (which I won't ruin for future guests) and was all around the definition of class. In the end, we were incredibly sad to leave and left with the thought we want to have our own Lazy Willow some day. We wouldn't change a thing. You will love your time and experience at the Lazy Willow and the Jackson area in general and we can't possibly recommend it enough.
a river runs through it
I was a guest of this house last fall and was blown away by Jackson Hole in the fall. Myself and 3 other couple stayed here. The colors of the trees were incredible along the entire river area. Every morning I would walk down to the Snake River and get my line wet. I even reeled in few cuttys and rainbow trout. I felt like i could walk along the property for an hour before i reached the next house. It was my own private fishing paradise. Also I hired a guide and floated other sections of the Snake as well as a couple trips to the Grey´s and Hoback River. All were within a half hour of the property. The house was immaculate and I would recommend this place especially for those who like to be near Jackson but without all the madness the center of a tourist driven town. I hope to go back in the future to hunt in the fall as its located in the heart of the elk migration. I was surprised at how reasonable the price was after seeing the hotel rates in town, not to mention the kitchen was perfect for meals for the 7 of us.

Brain implant brings hope to thousands of Parkinson's sufferers
Wednesday February 20, 2013
A new form of brain surgery could conceivably bring hope to thousands of Parkinson's sufferers. A two-year trial has proven that deep brain stimulation using an electrical implant is more effective than drugs, and at a much earlier stage in the disea
Catholic Online - There was a 26 percent improvement in the quality of life for patients after surgery, compared with no improvement with those strictly on medication.
Tests showed that coordination improved by 50 percent. Activities such as speech, handwriting, dressing and walking were also improved by 30 percent for those having the operation. Respondents also took less medication and had fewer drug-related complications; those on drugs alone had to increase the dose.
The latest trial involving 251 patients in France and Germany gave deep brain stimulation to people who had suffered Parkinson's for around seven years. Trials had successfully tested the procedure on patients with advanced disease, after 12 years.
"These results signal a shift in the way patients with Parkinson's disease can be treated." Professor of Neurology at Christian-Albrechts University in Kiel Gunther Deushcl, and lead investigator of the study for Germany, said.
"They prove that deep brain stimulation therapy can improve patients' quality of life even in the earlier stages of Parkinson's disease, when clinicians traditionally rely solely on drugs," Deushcl added.
Patients having deep brain stimulation are fitted with a neuro-stimulator, a device similar to a heart pacemaker, which is connected to electrodes placed in certain parts of the brain. The electrical implant is then connected to a small battery under the skin in the person's chest or abdomen to generate small electrical signals to stimulate the brain.
The device is controlled by a hand-held device which can be switched on and off. When switched on, the patient benefits from the blocking of abnormal nerve signals which trigger the symptoms associated with Parkinson's.
About 10,000 people are newly diagnosed with Parkinson's each year, and 125,000 are living with the disease at any time. Most are over 60 years of age, but a significant number afflicted are young.
Described as a progressive neurological condition that causes symptoms of tremor and muscular rigidity or stiffness that can make walking, talking and even writing difficult or frustrating. While there is no cure for Parkinson's, there are a range of treatments help control symptoms.

Check out these new additions to Manhattan that cater to kids and families.
Celebrating Exceptional Kids
The Quad Manhattan, a recreational center for "twice-exceptional" (2E) children and their loved ones, opened June 14 in TriBeCa. Offering pre-school, after-school, and Saturday programs tailored to kids who are both gifted and challenged, the center is a unique environment where young 2E individuals can receive social and emotional support in a fun and innovative way.
Before The Quad opened, New York's 2E population was underserved, says Sara Kuppin Chokshi, DrPH, who co-directs the new center with Kimberly Busi, M.D. Though they usually receive either a special needs or "academically talented" education, 2E children often struggle because these classes fail to nurture other facets of their personalities. The Quad's customized programs in science, movement, the arts, and other fields of study are informed by speech and occupational therapy, but are also designed so that non-2E kids, like siblings and friends, can participate.
"We truly believe that twice-exceptional kids who feel good about themselves can grow up to be our future leaders," says Dr. Busi, who sees high potential in children who are bright but suffer in more limited settings. "We 'get' twice-exceptional children, and we love them," she says. "We celebrate them for who they are."
Located at 54 Reade Street. 212-513-1840. www.thequadmanhattan.com.
Language Lessons for Little Learners
After 10 years at its original West End Avenue location, The Carousel of Languages will move to The Mandell School in September.
The Carousel of Languages, a language program for children as young as six months, evolved from a program called Italian for Toddlers, which was developed in 2000 by new mother Patrizia Saraceni Corman. Corman wanted a program that would immerse her son in Italian from a young age, knowing that children are most able to acquire language during the critical period from birth to 1 year.
In addition to Italian instruction, The Carousel of Languages offers classes in French, Spanish, and Mandarin. All programs are based on a Verbal-Visual-Tactile approach, Corman says: As children hear a new word, they are shown a visual representation of the word and given a tactile object to experience. This system guarantees a strong response to learning languages at a young age, she says.
In addition to its New York-based classes, The Carousel of Languages offers educational travel programs for families to locations like Venice, Barcelona, and Paris.
The Mandell School is located at 795 Columbus Avenue between 97th and 98th Streets. For more information on The Carousel of Languages, call 212-501-8524 or visit www.thecarouseloflanguages.com.

- October 2014
Napoli is a rather chaotic city. You have to accept that. And is difficult to find a good hotel. Most hotels are in high need of a renovation yet ask for horrendous prices. This is not the case of Palazzo Caracciolo. It has been recently renovated and while the corridor still looks a bit eerie, the rooms are just fine and up to the last standards. So does the rest of the hotel. Our minus point goes however for the breakfast buffet. Italian hotels are of course not well known for that but for such a "boutique" hotel, we expected ... better. We arrived at the breakfast room 1 hour before closing and yet they had already ran out of bread! They barely had any juice left and most of the cheese and ham was alredy gone as well. Still, overall our experience there was just fine and I would book a room there again. read hotel review

The hotel is near to the historic quarter and is a good starting point for exploring on foot. You can get to the highway straight away in the car so you can reach Vesuvius and Pompeii very quickly. The staff is very nice and helpful especially when you're traveling with a baby and need hot water etc. The room is large and well-equipped and very clean and the bathroom was in a pristine condition too. The breakfast was fine and you could eat breakfast and sit very comfortably in the nice courtyard. All in all recommendable hotel for a city ... break. read hotel review

Converted Palazzo in the old town area of Naples. It is not in the poshest part of town which adds to it's charm. Hotel would be great to hold exclusive events in their courtyard. Rooms vary in size and look more modern than one would expect in a building like this. Breakfast OK, best selection of juices i have ever seen - but a massive let-down are the scrambled eggs made from powder, yuk! read hotel review

The Mirror was the first newspaper to carry a photograph on the front page, the first to reveal the true nature of King Edward's relationship with Wallis Simpson, and first to hold a wedding in its offices.
Over the years we have also proved pigs can fly, hired racing drivers to get the story first, and discovered the Rolling Stones.
Here are the hundred greatest moments from the Daily Mirror's illustrious history.
1. We whipped up the first Royal tabloid scandal by publishing a front page photograph of the late King Edward VII on his death-bed on May 10, 1910. The Mirror was accused of stealing the picture and of insensitivity towards the Royal Family. In fact Queen Alexandra had asked for the photograph to be given to the Mirror because it was her favourite newspaper.
2. In 1936 we were the only newspaper gutsy enough to reveal the true relationship between King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson. Other newspapers colluded with a government cover-up, denying ordinary people knowledge of the crisis facing their monarchy. The Daily Mirror, however, broke the most sensational royal stories of the century - publishing a front page picture of Mrs Simpson. It also backed the King against the government and church.
4. Only one newspaper had a photo of a tearful Margaret Thatcher leaving Downing Street for the last time as Prime Minister. The photographers lining the street put down their cameras and applauded as she drove past. Only the Mirror's Ken Lennox kept working to secure a historic shot, published on November 29, 1990.
7. On November 19, 1999, we revealed how Cherie Blair was expecting her fourth child at the age of 45.
8. After a riot broke out at Dartmoor Prison in October, 1932, we hired an aeroplane to get exclusive aerial and internal shots. The Mirror's coverage of the riot, which ended when wardens opened fire on inmates and injured between 60 and 70 prisoners, was one of the earliest examples of the paper's hungry determination always to be first with the story.
10. We were with Iraqi war victim Ali Abbas as he had two prosthetic arms fitted on October 13 of this year. The brave 12-year-old lost his arms in a missile struck his home near Baghdad, which killed 16 members of his family.
11. On June 27, 1955, The Mirror ran a shock issue on The Robot Revolution which explained how a new industrial revolution was coming which would change life at home, in the office and in the factory. Every forecast came true - except that everyone would have much more leisure time and machines did all the work.
12. A Mirror photographer descended 650ft into Mount Vesuvius to get the first ever pictures taken from inside a volcano in June, 1912.
14. We became the first British paper to print pictures of a failed assassination attempt on King Alfonso of Spain and his new bride in Madrid in 1906. Our snapper hired a French racing driver to drive non-stop through Spain and France to Calais, where a boat was waiting to rush the pictures to England.
16. Our serialisation of Paul Burrell's book, A Royal Duty, was the most talked-about scoop of this year. The former Royal butler revealed last month how Princess Diana predicted she would die in a car crash just 10 months before it happened. He also told how her brother, Earl Spencer, accused her of being mentally ill.
17. We revealed Ulrika Jonsson's astonishing affair with England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson on April 19, 2002.
18. Following the 1911 proclamation of King George V as Emperor of India, pictures of the event were driven overland from India, and developed on the way to Calais before we printed them.
19. Despite being under house arrest by the Israelis, PLO leader Yasser Arafat invited the Mirror's Alex Williams into his bunker for an exclusive interview in which he called for the world to bring peace to the region in February, 2002.
20. On October 1, 1990, The Mirror introduced readers to three politicians we described as "Labour's Young Guns". Their names: Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and Jack Straw. The writer? Alastair Campbell, who became Mr Blair's Downing Street spokesman.
21. In 1912 we ran a series of exclusive reports from Captain Robert Falcon Scott as he and his team battled to reach the South Pole. Unfortunately, we ran a "thrilling and exclusive narrative" in April 1912 not knowing that four days earlier Scott and his four companions had perished in the snow. It was 13 months before their deaths were discovered.
22. On October 3, 1994, we revealed how Royal love rat James Hewitt had written a book - Princess In Love - to cash in on his relationship with Princess Diana.
23. When a major earthquake struck Japan, the Mirror's Far East Correspondent, who was in Shanghai, flew 750 miles to Japan to photograph the disaster. The pictures were then shipped to Vancouver from where they were flown through Seattle and Chicago to Cleveland. Here the plane developed engine trouble and the pictures were transferred to an express train heading for New York where they were collected by a Mirror reporter. He caught a liner to France from where he flew to London, all in September, 1923.
24. The horror of unexploded mines was revealed in our report on the tragic death of 10-year-old Qwadrat in an Afghan hospital. He died shortly after picking up a mine near his home in February, 2002.
27. We were the first newspaper to show a photograph of a "tank", on November 23, 1917. The paper paid pounds 1,000 to the Canadian Record Office for the photos - almost pounds 70,000 in today's money. The cash went to war charities.
28. Mirror photographer Tom Grant may have just abandoned a sinking ship, but that didn't stop him taking some astonishing pictures. Grant was aboard the SS Sontay when it was torpedoed in May 1917, and after leaping into the water, he took 14 shots of the listing craft. He then wrapped his photographic plates in oilskin to keep them dry.
29. On August 7, 1999, we printed an exclusive interview with Doreen Lawrence, whose 18-year-old son, Stephen, was stabbed to death in London six years before.
30. On July 18, 2002, we revealed how a four-year-old girl was left to die outside a mosque in Uttar Pradesh, India, because she was handicapped.
31. We secured an exclusive interview with bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones, the only survivor of the Paris car crash which killed Princess Diana and her lover Dodi Fayed. He broke his silence in March, 1998, to speak of his guilt at surviving the accident that killed her.
32. We broke a world record by hiring a pilot to fly photographs to London of the Belgrade wedding of King Alexander of Yugoslavia and Princess Marie of Romania.

Bugzilla – Bug 4151
spec questions on skippable exceptions: write, runtime exceptions, exclude
Last modified: 2013-01-16 23:06:28 UTC
Some questions on skippable exceptions (which basically apply to retryable, no-rollback exceptions too):
1) See my email to the issues mailing list w/ Subject
"Interaction of SkipListener and chunked writes"
2) The language of the spec currently seems to allow for subjecting runtime exceptions to the skip (and retry) processing. This could get tricky... if the runtime exception is coming from the batch container, then it might cause some complications if that can be caught and "skipped". Could a runtime even end up in an inconsistent state somehow?
It seems one option would be to flat out disallow this in the spec wording (even though we can't easily express this in the method signature of read/write/process where we say "throws Exception"). OTOH, what if there is an API that throws a predictable runtime exception that the JSR352 developer would like to skip... it would be a bit odd to ask them to catch a RuntimeException just to throw a checked exception.
I think the current language is fine, just wanted to make sure this issue was considered.
3) This one almost doesn't need to be asked:
If I have just an "exclude".. I'm not going to match anything, right? We basically start with an implicit <exclude class="*"/> (not that using a wildcard here is legal), so until you <include> something, <exclude> has no further affect.
I think there are no restrictions on which exceptions can be skipped or retried. Even if they originated in the batch runtime. Afterall, there is nothing stopping the application catching any and every exception and preventing the batch runtime from seeing those exceptions again.
Yes, exclude qualifies include.

Bill & mongo tile question
I am stripping out a 6x6 bathroom tile backsplash in a kitchen, it looks like it was set in mastic. Thick notch yellow looking stuff. In new kitchen I want to use some glass mosaics. Should this drywall that is covered in this mastic just be removed and replaced? And should I replace with new drywall or other material. I was thinking maybe green board or is that over kill? It will be the wall behind the stove, (steam?) sink will sit away from backsplash. Tia!
When we pulled out our kitchen backsplash we just pulled out the damaged drywall as well, put new in, and tiled over that. It's simpler than trying to clean off the old gunk, and drywall is cheap and easy.
Green board would be overkill, even behind the sink. Regular drywall is fine.
Sorry I'm posting so late, I've been away for several days.
What weedy wrote.
The more translucent the glass, the more what is behind the glass can show through.
Add to that with mosaic you want flat as flat can be so the tiles don't rock this way and that.
So I'd cut out whatever crappy mastic board there is, then use regular drywall. Use a white thinset to set the glass.
