TV With Dirty Words: NY's Public Access Debuts
Clip Job: an excerpt every day from the Voice archives.
July 8, 1971, Vol. XVI, No. 27
The electric soapbox: 'This is your channel'
By Robin Reisig
"We spent 10 hours last night taking out all the dirty words -- there must have been 100 fucks and cocksuckers -- and now they want us to put them all back in," muttered the technician.
"It is pure goddamned prejudice!" shouted the videotape maker because the last six minutes had, for technical reasons, just been cut out of his videotape on the Italian-American Civil Rights League.
"You wouldn't cut somebody else! You cut an Italian, goddamnit! I can't help boiling in my own blood! You fucking liberals!" A girl tranquilly translated it all into sign language for the deaf. The Sterling television screen went black and silent because the videotape maker had stormed the broadcast studio just as the announcer was saying, "This is your channel and you can say anything you want on it."
It was the first day of people's television in New York or, cable officials claimed, the country. Last Thursday, Manhattan's cable television public access channels opened to the public. With its enormous channel capacity and low cost, cable television is supposed to provide an opportunity for diversity of ideas and opinions, for intellectual and ethnic and community programming, not usually heard on television. The first day would not have been broadcast on commercial television.
After beginning by broadcasting on the wrong channel, Sterling-Manhattan Cable Television aired a film by Newsreel in which a woman advised that "the only way to overcome oppression is revolution," a videotape by Aldo Tambellini, a member of the Italian-American Civil Rights League, in which Joe Colombo revealed how "the FBI steals your money in your house...When you want to get out and fight, fight them," and film and discussion which used captions and sign language so deaf viewers could "hear" television.
The cable companies are supposed to allow the public to go on uncensored except where necessary to protect themselves from liability. They immediately ran into a censorship problem. A Sterling-Manhattan Cable Television official ordered the "dirty" words cut from videotapes about gay activists and Daytop, but the company president, Bill Lamb, ordered the cuts restored, so opening day was filled with harried de-blipping.
The rules for access to the channels, issued last week by the city, add to the restrictions; they give companies the right to screen programming in advance, bar live programming, and do not allow persons under 18 to reserve time. Airtime will be free, but Sterling will charge $50 an hour to those who wish to use its studio and camera facilities, or refer groups to organizations that can do the technical work for free. Teleprompter, the more public-service-oriented of Manhattan's two cable companies, is offering its facilities for free.
...Theodora Sklover and Betsy Marston of Open Channel put together Sterling's first day of interesting programming. "The real question," said Marston, "is what'll be on tomorrow or the next day?" So far Sterling, at least, has no applications for use of its two public channels.
A year ago when it awarded the cable franchises, the city promised there would be an Office of Telecommunications to regulate cable and ensure public access. The Office is still unstaffed. The statewide cable television association this winter successfully lobbied against a state bill that would have given the public's channels common carrier status, which would have mean t no control, not screening for "liability" -- or censorship -- by cable companies. Federal regulation is still in turmoil, with President Nixon reportedly pleased at the chance to undercut the networks by allowing cable to grow, but much more concerned about the heady possibilities of all that television power to the people.
But in New York the "electronic soapbox," as cable television has been called, has partly arrived. The electronic part is functioning. Now it's up to viewers to use the soapbox -- from Agnew supporters who rant that the effete, tomentose-tainted media doesn't tell their story to the tomentose Abbie Hoffmans who get blipped off when the commit mild acts of defiance like wearing an American flag.

Nobody seemed to want the job of running the tiny Presbyterian mission on the Navajo reservation at Ganado, Ariz. Back on a year's furlough from a 13-year hitch on Hainan Island, off the South China coast, big, broad-shouldered Dr. Clarence Grant Salsbury finally told the Mission Board that he and his wife would keep things going at Ganado for a couple of months until the board could get a permanent man. A year later he notified the board that he would be happy to stay on indefinitely among the Navajos.

Detection of Parametric Roll on Ships
Publication: Research - peer-review › Book chapter – Annual report year: 2012
Recent years have shown several incidents with dramatic damage on container
vessels caused by parametric resonance. When the resonance starts, the roll
oscillation at a sub-harmonic frequency of the wave excitation may be completely
unexpected. Timely warning about the onset of the resonance phenomenon could
make the navigator change ship's speed and heading, and these remedial actions
could make the vessel escape the bifurcation. This chapter proposes non-parametric
methods to detect the onset of parametric roll resonance. Theoretical conditions
for parametric resonance are re-visited and signal-based methods are developed to
detect its onset. Hypothesis testing is derived for the particular distribution of the
indicators for resonance. Robustness is investigated by analyzing forced roll and
disturbances in real weather conditions. The performance of the novel methods is
demonstrated on experimental data from towing tank tests and data from a container
ship passing an Atlantic storm.

NASA Quest + Search Quest |
Hello everyone. My name is Stephanie Cunningham and I am biology major here at SFSU. I expect to graduate with my degree in spring of 2009 and plan to enter SFSU's secondary education teaching credential program at that time. I heard about the Mojave Spaceward Bound Expedition through the Math and Science Teachers Initiative fellowship program of which I am a fellow member. I feel that this expedition is a wonderful opportunity for those, like me, who share a passion for science and desire to teach science. I am looking forward to participating in the field research that this expedition offers and foresee this experience as one that I'll eventually draw upon in the classroom. What an exciting and adventurous way to learn! I am looking forward to meeting everyone and learning more about those of you who I will be sharing this exciting trip with. A few factoids about myself: I live with my fiancé and our two cats in the north bay. In my spare time I enjoy hiking, camping, traveling, and spending time with my friends and family. Finally, I hope to teach high school biology in the Bay area in the near future. |

Publishing on Android Market
After you're satisfied that your application runs as expected on real Android devices, you're ready to upload to Android Market, Google's service for publishing and downloading Android applications. The procedure is pretty straightforward:
- Sign up as an Android Developer (if you're not already signed up).
- Upload your signed application.
Signing Up As an Android Developer
Go to Google's website at , and fill out the forms provided. As this is written, Android Market is still in beta, and you will be asked to:
- Use your Google account to log in (if you don't have a Google account, you can get one for free by following the Create Account link on the login page).
- Agree to the Android Market Terms of Service.
- Pay a one-time fee of $25 (payable by credit card via Google Checkout; again, if you don't have an account set up, you can do so quickly).
The forms ask for a minimal amount of information—your name, phone number, etc.—and you are signed up.
Uploading Your Application
Now you can go to to upload your application. To identify and categorize your application, you will be asked for the following:
Application apk file Name and Location
- The apk file of your application, signed with your private signature certificate.
Title and Description
- These are very important, because they are the core of your marketing message to potential users. Try to make the title descriptive and catchy at the same time, and describe the application in a way that will make your target market want to download it.
Application Type
- There are currently two choices: Applications or Games.
- The allowable list of categories varies depending on Application Type. The currently available categories for Applications are: Communications, Demo, Entertainment, Finance, Lifestyle, Multimedia, News & Weather, Productivity, Reference, Shopping, Social, Software Libraries, Tools, and Travel. For Games, the currently available categories include: Arcade & Action, Brain & Puzzle, Cards & Casino, and Casual.
- This must be "Free" under the beta version of Android Market. Google has said they will enable charging for applications in the near future (maybe by the time you read this).
- You can limit where your application is available, or choose to make it available everywhere.
Finally, you are asked to confirm that your application meets the Android Content Guidelines and that it does not knowingly violate any export laws. After that, you can upload your apk file, and within a few days your application will appear on the Android Market online catalog, accessible from any connected Android device. There is currently no way to access Android Market directly from your PC or Mac, so you'll have to use your Android phone to find out when your application is available for download.

Developer: Eclipse
Introduction to Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse 11g JPA WorkbenchBy Andrei Cioroianu Learn how to use Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse (OEPE) to build Java EE applications that map objects to relational databases, using Java Persistence API (JPA). Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse (OEPE) is a set of certified plugins for developing Java EE applications that can be deployed very easily on Oracle WebLogic Server from the Eclipse IDE. In this article, you'll learn how to use the Java Persistence API (JPA) editors and wizards of OEPE, which let you create entities from existing tables or from Java classes. You'll also learn how to develop session beans and servlets for testing your entities. All these components will be packed in a Java EE application that runs on the WebLogic server. The article assumes that you have installed Eclipse 3.4 with OEPE 11g, Oracle WebLogic 10g Release 3, and Oracle Database XE. Application SetupIn this section, you'll find out how to configure WebLogic in Eclipse, which will allow you to use Java EE APIs in your code and deploy applications directly from the IDE as you'll see later in this article. You'll also learn how to setup a data source in Eclipse and WebLogic, and create a JPA project, using the wizards of OEPE 11g. Configuring Oracle WebLogic Server in Eclipse First of all, make sure you have a WebLogic domain properly configured. To create a new domain or view the existing ones, click Start > Programs > Oracle Fusion Middleware > WebLogic Server 10.3 > Tools > Configuration Wizard. Figure-1 After verifying or creating the WebLogic domain, return to Eclipse, click File > New > Other..., select Server, and click Next. Figure-2 Enter the server's host name, select Oracle WebLogic Server 10gR3 , and click Next. Figure-3 Select the WebLogic Home and click Next. Figure-4 Select the Server Type and the Domain Directory, and click Finish. Figure-5 To start WebLogic from Eclipse, go to the Servers view, right-click Oracle WebLogic Server 10gR3, and click Start. Connecting to the Oracle Database from Eclipse and WebLogic If you've just installed the Oracle database, you must unlock the HR user so that you can access the sample schema of Oracle Database XE. Click Start > Programs > Oracle Database 10g Express Edition > Go To Database Home Page . Login as SYSTEM, using the password you provided during the installation of Oracle Database XE, click Administration > Database Users > HR, enter a password twice for the HR user, select Unlocked, and click Alter User. Figure-6 Now you can configure the database connection in Eclipse. Click Window > Show View > Other..., select Data Management > Data Source Explorer, and click OK. Right click Database Connections, click New, select Oracle Database Connection, enter the hr name for the connection, and click Next. Figure-7 Select Oracle Database 10g Driver Default , change the server name in the jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:xe URL if necessary, enter the hr user name and its password, click Test Connection to verify that everything is correct, and click Finish. Figure-8 Right-click the hr schema, click Connect if you aren't already connected, expand hr > orcl > Schemas, right-click HR, and click Show in Schema Viewer. Figure-9 You must also configure the hr data source in WebLogic so that it can be used in your applications. Open http://localhost:7001/console/ in your Web browser, login and click JDBC > Data Sources. Click New, enter the hr name and the hr JNDI name, select the Oracle database type, select Oracle's Driver (Thin) Versions: 9.0.1, 9.2.0, 10, 11, and click Next. Leave the Transaction Options unchanged and click Next. Enter the xe database name, your database host name, the 1521 port number, the hr user name, the password, and click Next. Verify the URL, which should be something like jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:xe and click Next. In the last screen, check AdminServer and click Finish. Important! Click Log Out in WebLogic Server Administration Console so that you can deploy applications from Eclipse. If you ever see the following error in Eclipse, you should go to the WebLogic console and log out. Figure-10 Creating JPA Projects Click File > New > Project... In the New Project window, expand the JPA node and select JPA Project. Then, click Next. Figure-11 Enter the HRModel name, keep the Oracle WebLogic Server v10.3 target runtime, use the Utility JPA project with Java 5.0 configuration, select the Add project to an EAR checkbox, enter HRApp in the text field labeled EAR Project Name, and click Next. Figure-12 The default JPA platform is Generic, which means you'll be able to use only standard JPA 1.0 features. Select the EclipseLink platform if you want to use features that will become part of JPA 2.0 or if you want to configure properties that are specific to the EclipseLink JPA implementation, such as Persistence Unit Customization, Caching, Logging, Session Options, and Schema Generation. Select the hr connection, leave the remaining settings unchanged, and click Finish. Figure-13 Click Yes when you are asked if you want to open the JPA perspective. Figure-14 Creating and Modifying EntitiesIn this section, you'll learn how to generate JPA entities from existing tables or from Java classes, how to view their associations in the JPA Entity Editor, how to modify your entities in the JPA Structure and JPA Details views, and how to use the JPA configuration editor. All these wizards are provided by OEPE 11g. Creating Entities from Tables Next, you'll generate two entity classes from the DEPARTMENTS and EMPLOYEES tables of the HR schema. The CREATE statements of those tables are included below. You don't have to run them since the tables already exist. Take a look at the foreign keys because we'll discuss about them later in the article.
Right-click the newly created HRModel project, click JPA > Generate Custom JPA Entities..., make sure the hr connection is selected, and click the Connect icon if enabled. (If you're already connected the button is disabled.) Select the DEPARTMENTS and EMPLOYEES tables, and click Next. Figure-15 In a real application, you'll normally generate entities for all the tables of the schema. For learning purposes, however, it is simpler to start with fewer tables. The JPA wizard will analyze the foreign keys to suggest three table associations for the two selected tables of this example. Figure-16 In most cases, the schema doesn't contain enough information for the wizard to figure out exactly what you need. Therefore, you'll typically have to edit the associations. Click the first one, which is between the DEPARTMENTS and EMPLOYEES. Rename the employee property to manager, and uncheck Generate a reference to a collection of DEPARTMENTS in EMPLOYEES. Figure-17 Click the second association, which allows each department to obtain its employees and each employee to get his/her department. There is no change to be made here. Figure-18 Click the third association, which would allow each employee to reach his/her manager and each manager to get the subordinates. This information can also be obtained through the previous association. Therefore, the third association is redundant and can be removed. Uncheck Generate this association and click Next. Figure-19 Use the default options in the following screen, provide the hr.model package name, and click Next. Figure-20 The last screen lets you change the names of the entities as well as the names and types of their properties. None of these changes are necessary in this example. Click Finish to generate the Java classes. Figure-21 Right-click the HRModel project and click JPA > Show in Entity Editor to view a diagram containing the entities you've just created and the relationships between them. Figure-22 Here is the source code that the wizard generates for the Department entity:
The wizard also generates the Employee class:
In this example, the JPA wizard was able to suggest the associations because the database schema had information about the foreign keys. Sometimes, however, the foreign keys aren't explicitly defined by the schema and you don't have the permission to alter the tables in order to add the foreign keys. In such a situation, you can still use the wizard to define the table associations. Important! You don't need to follow the remaining steps of this sub-section if the schema contains the foreign keys. Let's suppose the HR sample schema didn't have the foreign keys. In this case, the Table Associations list of the Generate Custom Entities wizard would have been empty as shown in the following screen. Figure-23 To add an association, you could have clicked the + (New Association) button to start the Create New Association sub-wizard. For example, if you want to define here the relationship between EMPLOYEES and DEPARTMENTS, using the DEPARTMENT_ID column, select the two tables as in the following screen and click Next. Figure-24 Then, click Add, select the DEPARTMENT_ID column for both tables, and click Next. Figure-25 In the Association Cardinality screen of the sub-wizard, select Many to one and click Finish. Figure-26 After that, you can see the association in the main wizard. Figure-27 In conclusion, the Generate Custom Entities wizard lets you modify the suggested associations and add new ones that aren't specified in the schema as foreign keys. This works during the creation of the entities. As you'll see later in this article, you can also define and modify associations after the entity creation, using the JPA Structure and JPA Details views. Creating Entities from Java Classes The sample application with this article started with an existing database, which was used to generate the entities. You can also create the Java classes first, and then, use JPA > Generate DDL... to create the tables. A third option is to map an existing class to an existing table. In this section, we'll build a new entity from a Java class that will be mapped to the JOBS table, whose CREATE statement is included below:
Create a new class named Job in the hr.model package and paste the following code:
Right-click the HRModel project and click JPA > Generate Entity from Java Class... Click the Browse icon, select the hr.model.Job class, and click Next. Figure-28 Make sure the hr connection and HR schema are selected, select the JOBS table, leave jobId selected as Primary key property, and click Next. Figure-29 Verify that the properties are mapped correctly to the columns of the JOBS table and click Finish. Figure-30 The wizard will add the following annotations to the Job class.
Using JPA Structure and JPA Details Open the Employee entity and replace the String jobId field with Job job. You'll also have to remove the @Column(name="JOB_ID") annotation and replace the getJobId() and setJobId() methods with getJob() and setJob().
Eclipse will report an error: Column "job" cannot be resolved. Go to the JPA Structure view in the upper-right corner, right-click job, and click Map As > Many to One. The wizard will add the @ManyToOne annotation. Figure-31 You should see the JPA Detail view in the lower right corner. Verify that the job property is still the current one, select Eager in the Fetch list, check Override Default in the Join Columns section, and click the Edit button. Figure-32 Replace job_JOB_ID in the Name field with JOB_ID. After clicking OK, you should see the @JoinColumn(name="JOB_ID", referencedColumnName = "JOB_ID") annotation above the job property. This will fix the error signaled above. Save the Job.java file. Figure-33 Right-click the HRModel project and click JPA > Show in Entity Editor to view the updated diagram containing all three entities. Figure-34 Editing the XML Configuration Files Expand the JPA Content folder of the HRModel project, and double-click persistence.xml. The configuration editor lets you set the properties of this file. Select the Connection tab and enter the hr data source. Figure-35 Then, press Ctrl+S to save the persistence.xml file whose content is included below.
Testing EntitiesIn this section, you'll use more OEPE 11g wizards to create a stateless session bean and a servlet that allow you to test the entities created earlier. You'll also see how to deploy the whole application on WebLogic and run the servlet from Eclipse. Creating Session Beans Click File > New > Project... In the New Project window, expand the EJB node, select EJB Project, and click Next. Figure-36 Enter the HREJB name, keep the Oracle WebLogic Server v10.3 target runtime, use the 3.0 EJB version and Default Configuration for Oracle WebLogic Server v10.3, select the Add project to an EAR checkbox, select HRApp, and click Next. Figure-37 Leave the default options unchanged in the following screens and click Finish. Figure-38 Right-click the HREJB project, click New > Session Bean, enter the hr.ejb package name, type the HRBean class name, use the Stateless type, leave the hr.ejb.HRBeanLocal name of the interface unchanged, and click Next. Figure-39 Don't modify the default settings in the following screen and click Finish. Figure-40 Open the hr.ejb.HRBeanLocal interface of the HREJBClient project, and add the following method.
You'll get a compilation error: Employee cannot be resolved to a type. To fix it, move the mouse cursor over Employee, click Fix Project Setup... Figure-41 Select Add project 'HRModel' to build path of HREJBClient, click OK, and save the file. Figure-42 Return to the HRBean.java file move the mouse cursor over the class name, which should be underlined with red, and click Add unimplemented methods… Figure-43 Move the mouse cursor over the Employee return type of the added findEmployee() method, click Fix Project Setup..., select Add project 'HRModel' to build path of HREJB, and click OK. Then, add the following lines at the beginning of the HRBean class:
Move the mouse cursor over @PersistenceContext and click Import 'PersistenceContext' (javax.persistence). Move the mouse cursor over EntityManager and click Import 'EntityManager' (javax.persistence). Next, replace return null; with the following code within the findEmployee() method and save the HRBean class.
After saving the file you should see no error in the Problems view. Here is the complete source code of the HRBean class.
Creating Test Servlets Click File > New > Project... In the New Project window, expand the Web node, select Dynamic Web Project, and click Next. Figure-44 Enter the HRTest name for the Web project, select the Add project to an EAR checkbox, select HRApp, and click Next. Figure-45 Leave the default options unchanged in the following screens and click Finish. Figure-46 Right-click the HRTest project, click New > Servlet, enter the hr.test package name, type the HRServlet class name, and click Finish. Figure-47 Add these two lines at the beginning of the HRServlet class.
Move the mouse cursor over @EJB and click Import 'EJB' (javax.ejb). Move the mouse cursor over HRBeanLocal, click Fix Project Setup..., select Add project 'HREJBClient' to build path of HRTest, click OK, and save the file. Then, add the following code within the doGet() method of HRServlet.

I am a grad student (29 years old) at the University of Chicago.
William has completed online and offline ID verification.
The studio apartment was amazing! It is in such a great location. The apartment is a studio, but it seemed very spacious because of how it's laid out. And it was very easy to find and to get keys upon arrival.
My boyfriend and I had a great time at William's studio. The apartment is clean, and is in a great location (on Michigan Ave. across the street from Millenium Park)! He even offered us a couple beers from the fridge. Check-in was simple, and William was easy to reach, if we had any questions or concerns. It was a wonderful weekend at William's!
William's place was great; a real home-from-home. I didn't get to meet him personally, but getting into the apartment was quick and easy because he'd left instructions with the doorman. The apartment was clean, tidy and had everything I needed for my stay. You can see out into Michigan Avenue from the windows and the 'L' loop is only a block away. This place is a definite must-stay for any Chicago-bound travellers.
William's place is a fantastic spot to explore Chicago from. We didn't get to meet him as he was out of town but his instructions were perfect and he remained in touch during our whole stay. The apartment is less than a couple of minutes walk from Millenium Park and Loop stations, making it really easy to explore central Chicago and the surrounding areas. The apartment is basic, but it is clean, comfortable, safe and secure. I'd definitely recommend his place if you're coming to Chicago.
Great guest......
Great guest, very clean and considerate!

Not before offering them an authonomy, beforehand. Ukrainians, unwisely, refused the offer and Polsudski, dishonestly, won the war. A 20 year long period of latent civil war ensured. That latent war so weakened the Poland that it fell all too easy a prey to Nazis.

Tom Jones — St. James Infirmary Blues, with Jools Holland and The Rhythm & Blues Orchestra.
Laissez les bon temps roules – Happy Mardi Gras! What's on your mind?
Late Late Night FDL: St. James Infirmary Blues |
By: Suzanne Tuesday March 8, 2011 10:00 pm |
Tom Jones — St. James Infirmary Blues, with Jools Holland and The Rhythm & Blues Orchestra.
Laissez les bon temps roules – Happy Mardi Gras! What's on your mind?
hey nahant — sure did :) how's deadwood city?
i'm hanging in and enjoying the ride :) been a busy day at the lake.
aloha tut — let the good times roll — how's paradise tonight dood?
glad ya liked it nahant — i like his take on the old tune and that backing band — wow!!!
Some sun actually peaked out from behind the clouds today…!
It's was a welcome sight indeed…! ;-)
have been out of the loop, guess i'll have to do some catching up. what's the firebagger thing?
Really and Tommy boy usually turns me off.. Way too much bubble gum in his old days…
weather dood see's nothing but rain in our forecast for the next 16 days or so — welcome to la nina march in oregon :)
i think it was a term used to deride firedoglakers that several pups have taken as their own.
like van morrison, he's got a way with the blues that a lotta folks are not exposed to.
argh, fdl says i joined on the 9th. east-coast bias?
must be :( still a founding member tho spur
got Wet?? But hey it is just "Oregon" sunshine….
liquid sunshine — don't bother me – i learned a long time ago, contrary to what ex#2 said, i don't melt when wet
Dam time zones….. Get ya every time…
How ya doing Spur?? your partner doing OK?
Hey no pup has ever called you a witch did they?? so no melting allowed!!
hi nahant. so far so good, thanks for asking.
mmm Yallooo!
Hi Suz!
But of course Spur… That is what the Lake is all about! Caring about other pups and their others…
naw — folks around here are real nice
i got called the b word so much when i was working patrol that i responded to it almost as if one had said my name…
yalloo kelly! how's denver tonight?
No wonder why the Oregonians named themselves the Ducks and Beavers, eh…? ;-)
here at the lake or in denver?
hey openhope — a sure sign! how's the sound tonight?
Fucking gorgeous! A day that's worth all the other ones.
woohoo! the sunshine around here (when we have it) makes it all worthwhile
Gtreat we are already eating "snow" peas from the garden…planted more last week and will be putting beans this week… we just love the fruits of our garden… can't wait for the maters…mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Garlic! That's what I gotta grow, I go through so much of it.
Vampires have been real bad in Ohio…oh wait, that's Republicans, never can tell the fuckers apart…
I'm thinking the weatherman doesn't have a real grasp on day-by-day. MHO.
I'm planting lettuce seeds tomorrow, knowing I may be out 50 cents in seeds if the Weatherman's right. Radish,also.
hey margot — hahahaha — how ya doing tonight?
he wasn't implying that it would be 24/7 just that he saw rain in the forecast each day. it could just be bands of showers
Whoa, you have snow peas, right now? I'm just figuring out the first planting.
Truly!! There can't be any difference!! They both want to suck the life out of ya!!
tell me about it — ex #2 is an r *and* a fundy…
I planted in December hoping the frost wouldn't get them… it didn't thank doG! And boy are they sweet!!
no wonder he is EX! You had to be blinded by "Love"…
or maybe Lust??
I think I'm doing OK, thanks Suz. It's a great song you chose, I love Tom Jones.
still trying to figure out what the hell i was thinking….
glad ya like it margot — there's a van i linked to upthread i think you will like too
"evenin', all-
A great day. Thousands of people in the streets in FL. It felt good. Huge turnout in Tampa; Stephen King showed up and spoke at the rally in Sarasota.
Edward Teller, (the physicist-not the blogger) once compared nuclear fission to spontaneous combustion, where a lot of tiny point-sources cause the whole heap to burst into flame. I couldn't help but think of that, watching the news today, and going to the Tampa demonstration.
Liked the TJ Featured Vid, but that's one of Van I've not seen . . . stellar.
Never seen him live in his own show, saw him after midnight on stage one New YEar's Eve at Cow Palace I think, with Marshall Tucker, Alman Brothers, Daniels Band.
After the midnight stuff died down, Greg Alman disappeared, so did a few others but it seemed like every SF Musician and his cuzzin came out on stage, and Van was wailin sax till 3am. Boz Scaggs, Jerry, others . . . BIshop showed up I thin, . . '72 or '73 or so?
It all started with Mountain Jam, of course . . . *G*
Suz you weren't thinking at all… Hormones got the best of ya… not uncommon.. we are all guilty of it..
hey rond — sounds like a great day in the great swamp! wisconsin has set a lotta little 'fires'
hey larue — glad ya liked them — how's sac tonight?
67F today maybe 70F tomorrow . . . all the wet is north your way . . . lo 60′s after tomorrow. Guess I need to plant beans fast . . . Nahant got the drop on ALL of us!
Yeah, the band of showers is something modern tech can't figure out real well. I just assume it's going to be another shitty,cloudy,rainy,cold day. Then I get pleasantly surprised 3 times this week. Even if it's only 4 hours of gorgeous sunshine. Today was a full day of sun.
So I pulled out last years seeds and seed catalog.
*sigh* snow peas
but then, you still got 'maters…
i got my territorial seed catalog in the mail last week….
Grow garlic and eat well. The Others will always be there. :]
Hi Suz and pups. Thanks, Suzanne, for hooking me up with the archives earlier. What a trip down memory lane!
And, hey, everybody join up…….and call Ryan for sponsorship if needed. What a fiine family we have here.
but but we do live in the city that has been voted the best weather by government test!! Oh the onions are doing great also… still can't wait for the Sun Gold matters… mmmm talk about TOMATO flavor… and sweet hoy boy!!
How goes it Larue?? Hope the little lady is doing great also ☺ ☺
Man, I'm 10 weeks away from planting beans. Maybe I can put in potatoes in 2 weeks.
Watching House of Flying Daggers — bamboo forest scene — amazing.
hey dearie — how ya doing tonight? sure did bring back some long ago memories…
It was. I quit going to demonstrations some time back, because I seemed to be something of a tear-gas magnet. Got gassed at anti-apartheid, anti-US policy in central America, and pro-legalization rallies, and trust me, I did absolutely nothing to warrant or provoke it-ever. Since then, I have mostly been an organizer or campaign foot soldier. So it was with some trepidation that I went today, but it felt really good, seeing so many out. And for me, I felt like I broke a hex. I managed to go out and raise my voice without getting gassed. The worm may have really turned at last.
double yay! you gonna diary what ya heard and saw?
Hey, I have a tech question that might be better left alone.?
The Notification section on the top of FDL's banner is a "friend" thing. Right?
Not for people who don't do Facebook or actually know the wonders their computers are capable of? Right?
It's starting to freak me out.
But I dig in dirt for fun.
hey ppdcus hows Salinas these days?? Hope you were able to join the "Club" today ya gotta be in at the ground floor ya know!! The other comp they should offer is monogrammed towels for the swimmers here at the Lake! Specially when that crazy diver shows up and gets us all WET..
I plan on it:) A day without garlic…well, I'm either not on the planet or maybe in the hospital.
yup — its a notice that someone has sent ya a friend request or that someone accepted your friendship request
Thank you so much, RonD, for standing up and being present.
been too cold to dive lately dood still in the 30′s at night but at least i'm not dipping below freezing anymore
Thanks. I've been an activist for a long time, and we are at a remarkable moment of possibility here, IMO.
Is the hospital a thing to think about?
I don't want to be prying, but, I'm thinking about your comments and concerned you're going thru shit.. peace,strength
Moment of possibility indeed! I hope we can make something of it.
I'm also glad you managed to get rid of the giant teargas target on your back, that sounds highly frustrating to have suffered that sort of thing more than once.
Maybe. I hate being medium well-read in history sometimes. It makes life hard.
you must be making good use of that Yodel stove..yes?.. I know we are keeping the wood burner going 24/7…
hey chareronea — how ya doing tonight? am sorry i missed your delurking the other nite
I'm good Suzanne, how are you? And don't worry, my delurking wasn't too exciting, but thank you.
the jotul is keeping me cozy and does great at chasing the damp away. i'm not having to get the coals going immediately after waking anymore — today i didn't start the fire until around 4ish…
i'm just fine :) gotta full cup of coffee, token snoring (it sounds like drip drip) in his bed at my feet, and bailey cat is curled up on the bed next to the wood stove.
what part of earth do ya call home?
If a truly dynamic, grassroots populism can arise out of this groundswell, truly good things could happen.
No no, I just remember being there a few years ago for a broken bone repair and how awful the food was! Not to worry. Just meant I eat a lotta garlic:)
Doin well, both of us! Thanks hoss . . .
WE still have one yellow mini pear plant and one Sun Gold Cherry plant flowering and fruiting . . . *G*
I also have a chili serrano that's been putting out peppers all winter long . . . this plant is a monster producer . . . insane, I can't give them away there's so many . . .
was that when you broke your foot?
Throwing this out there, if you're interested fire away!
What do you folks look for in a diary post? Should there be an introductory post? Or some sort of marginally directional statement on what one might end up writing in their diary on here?
dang I never could spell… jotul not yodel… sheesh blew it again…
wheww, we eat a lot of garlic as a health/food thing.
I'm a bit jumpy these days,…:]
Yeah, next weekend we'll buy potting soil, fill some 50 pots of varying sizes, put in two 'mater plants (not sure which one's) in our small 2 x 12 foot plot (has one rosemary bush a year old and a new sage bush this winter).
Gotta start basil seeds in shallow carton tops . . . n of course, honey wants wildflowers and such interspersed amongst it all . . .
I got some cuke seeds (roundish lemon cukes) I want to see if they will start in a shallow dig out front. Apartment living means we don't have a lot of room . . . ergo the pots.
If I get enough basil grown and frozen and pesto made regularly I'm happy!
Coffee? That would be my favorite vice of late, I try to avoid abusing caffeine this late to at least get some sleep. Sounds pretty cozy to me, cats seem to always find that warmest place and immediately monopolize it.
I hail from the foothills of western New York for now, but I've been around far too much in the past. Its a nice corner of the earth, if you don't mind the snow, and the cold. But you do get all four seasons quite nicely.
i eat a lotta garlic too. besides being good for ya, i think if ya eat a lotta garlic ya don't get as many bug bites in the summertime. i tend to be a flavor of the month
nothing wrong with eating boatloads of garlic! Does impressive things for the body, I always forget to try and fit it in more.
Fully agreed . . . more 'mo than I've seen in decades . . .
Hey just go for it.. It will be read by the pups..
here's the about us/faq's for the diaries. i look for a good headline, clear opening statements. an introductory diary isn't required but there is nothing wrong with saying in your diary that it is your first.
No intro really necessary, IMO-it is the ideas expressed that matter. Beyond certain authors, what I personally look for is a title that clearly says what the diary is about, and gives me reason to anticipate a novel or unique viewpoint. There are diaries on all kinds of stuff, from cosmology and cultural history to revolutionary politics, book reviews, and personal expositions. Whatever you feel strongly, we'd like to read.
Don't forget to try the Thai basil… makes the best pesto evah!!
this is my first experience living on the oregon coast — been here 3 years — and my first time living where one gets all four seasons. i like it and the eye candy scenery is just gaga
Ankle, but yeah, that was it. Man I have cords taped down like anything now.
dammit, and i hit the wrong reply button too… can ya'll tell its my forking monday
Yes you did. I was sitting here laughing my ass off.
I'm planning on it, was kinda just curious. I'm not sure anyone really wants to read 8 pages worth of rant or something like that, but we'll see!
the good old thumper days :) dang, that seems like it was so long ago
You are in such a different growing climate than me! I'm officially giving up, throwing in the towel on growing fucking tomatoes. I can grow tomatillos. I can baby the shit out of basil and get a crop. Heat loving veggies will break a Nor'westerner's heart. It's hard to give it up.
when ya do, be sure to drop a link in the late late night thread just in case i miss it
Yeah, I'm big on garlic, thyme and cayenne as blood cleaners. Also, tasty.
thanks for the FAQ link, I'll try not to break all of the rules at once ;)
Good titles seem to be the rule then, that makes sense, and thanks for that those who have pointed that out.
I like the Genovese basil for pesto, but I ALWAYS have some purple Thai basil plants. GREAT for salads . . . or anything. N GARLIC! Garlic in everything! Haven't grown garlic yet, I should try as much as I use it . . . what's killin my pocket book and food prep is the phreakin HUGE rise in veggies . . . . red onions at $1.79 lb, zukes and such at 2.00 lb, 'maters $2.00 lb or more . . . lettuce n greens are insane . . . a head of ICEberg is over $2, same with romaine . . . buying more canned goods and dried beans now . . . produce is insane.
Ahh, as a kid I lived up in Tacoma, it was interesting out there, I loved the weather. The scenery is probably even more gorgeous where you are, that must be really nice.
Tweety, on replay, is talking about how Jim Demented is pushing a national right-to-work law. To a degree, it WILL split working people, but what I'm seeing right now makes me think that might really be the match that the fuse demands. Therefore, I'm almost hoping Dement, and the Republicans in general, try to go for it.
What do you guys think?
Your part of OR is that sun deficient it hampers 'maters? And such?
the titles are the hook that draws the reader in…. that and subject matter. write enough diaries and you can have folks looking for your name in the diaries list
Frustrating =(
Nothing like noticing just how much you're being stolen from to actually have produce that's good for you.
forking cost of everything is going up…. esp food and gas *spitting*
i was in california from 63 to 08 — mainly in the san francisco bay area. i forking love it up here
What would such a national law MEAN to employees and employers?
I know CA is 'at will' meaning you can get fired for anything or nothing . . . and not get unemployment depending on how the employer tries to rig the termination sitch.
Thanks for the advice as well. As for a specific topic(s), I've got interests and some knowledge all over the board. It's probably one of the reasons I like this place. I tend to really get riled up over statecraft, foreign policy fail, and totally misrepresentations of past history. So I'll probably be drifting off to somewhere out there.
folks are starting to wake up to the idea that the r's are going after workers and worker rights.
didja see rachel maddow tonight? she spent the first 20 minutes documenting the its not the budget shit the r's have been doing and then went right into an interview with naomi klein and started talking about shock doctrine. amazing
and none of that food is part of the CPI!! Fuck dam St Ronnie that and making SS taxable.. what a prick he was/is!!
Hopefully I'm planting lettuce tomorrow, if the weather forecast for crap doesn't turn out bad.
We can only hope. And not plant too many seeds at one time, in case that tanned,weird hair asshole is actually right about the weather.
Peace, laughter, strength
¥ep . . . and this past year we have changed our food intake considerably to more produce/veggies and less meat based proteins . . . you can get full on a ton of produce with few calories, and the impact on the body/immune system, etc. is really good for us.
The time to plant as much as you can is now, we all probably know how much its going to get worse before it gets better. It would be really nice to get some subsidy reform, or research done. Someone was arguing in the time oped the other day about that, trying to refocus funds on actually getting people to buy somewhat more local food to try and save on the transportation(oil) costs.
But hey, that's not what will make money for the folks up top right?
That's a huge development! I'm stealing PDDCUS' line now … G'evening Fire Gods. Congrats on the launch of the new program Suz et al.
Northern Puget Sound. Oregon is like traveling to southern locals. We're close to Canada.
Yep . . .$3.81 here for cheap stuff . . . but the food . . . once a week for $100 gets me half today what I got a year ago . . . trying to avoid pastas, and bulk carbs that are less expensive . . . but it's all up . . . have to hit 3 different stores and prowl aisles for hidden gems . . . sometimes the paper ads show good deals but most of it is come on shit now.
Eh? Portland(ia), OR has a healthy heaping of Canadians as well. I've always been fond of the Maple Leaves.
I tend to really get riled up over statecraft, foreign policy fail, and totally misrepresentations of past history.
You just come sit right over here by me…
mother's day weekend is our traditional safe to plant date. but yeah, we should all be planting, even if it is in pots on a deck or patio or balcony.
hey mzchief — how's your side of the coast range?
I'm very tempted to borrow some of the land on my Dad's property to try and defray a little bit of what I will be eating this summer, unfortunately I'm not sure if I will be able to keep in the area so we'll see. It's completely worth it to remove animal protein, I'm really attempting to try to almost eliminate it, although that is somewhat through abuse of whey and egg whites.
That's some of the most beautiful country in the whole world . . . wow.
My sis n hers are in Bellingham, WA . . . they know border travel! lol
All's a bit more calm today. Sunshine in PDX and folks stir although its still officially winter here. Two gorgeous cats decided out of the blue to come visit me. I gave them each a bit of chicken so we are fast friends now.
How are you, Suz?
P.S. Re basil … I've been able to grow it indoors under a full spectrum grow bulb then transfer and propagate the plants outdoors when the weather turns right. I think you could do the same thing with tomatoes. I like the fast-ripening varieties as Early Girls. Even under the best conditions, the Beef Steaks don't ripen until football season starts again.
blahh, I'm glad you ignored my typo…. or didn't. I will probably take a peek at your diary when I get a chance then.
I'll look forward to seeing your diaries.:)
awwww…. the air still has a bite to it here but my daffs are starting to bloom
everyone in the pool, then nahant!
¥ep, less cheese, eggs, meats, more fowl (can't afford fish other n canned tuna and Tilipia), much less breads and ONLY whole grain artisan breads but it's hella expensive.
It's almost been fun trying to save money and eat better . . . till the prices doubled.
Well pups time to head off… night all.. And don't put off planting a veggie garden.. always gives ya back with good fresh veggies…
I'll have to get on writing a few then!
There are grammar Nazis on FDL, but I'm not one of them. I've been here since 2006, but I've only written one diary, about the role of warfare in evolving civilizations. I look forward to yours-
Well, gotta run Pups . . . tahnks for two GREAT vids Suz, thanks to all for the tunage and chattage . . . stay warm, dry, safe and hug 'em close.
Oh, Happy International Women's Day, Happy Fat Tuesday and congrats FDL on the new fund raising efforts . . . what a ton of response I read during the course of the day, so kewl.
Niters now . . . zzzzz
Yeah, I completely hear that. I usually got for the cheapest breads I can find without HFCS, and attempt to keep myself as cheap as possible. Lettuce tends to really become your friend.
The crocuses have been out for weeks now.
Please do. I'll guaranteed you'll get comments. :-)
Someone mention Garlic?
I'm guilty of multiple tabbing when surfing usually, so its a bit easy to start a sentence and then change the wording without editing correctly. Or at least it's easy for me to do that. When I'm starting at one document this tends not to happen, and I usually double check for it.
I've started reading some of your post, I'm interested.
hey nonq — how ya doing tonight?
You've almost inspired me to think about sleep so I can fit in a bunch of reading on Libya. I'd like to thought experiment out varying levels of intervention there currently, or lack thereof.
Hey chaeronea. I just wrote a long reply to this question but my battery died. :-(
So I'll just say go at it and let us know when it is up. I usually drop a few folks a note when I write one.
You might check out the view point at Avaaz.Org regarding that as part of your research. They are asking for the UN to intervene and implement a no-fly zone. Sweet dreams! I think I'll mosey myself shortly …
hey spocko — oh noz! how was your day?
Fading fast, now.
It's spring in the Swamp, whatever the calendar says. The world is covered with pollen, and there has been a crazy explosion of local fauna. You can open your car door, and hear mockingbirds mocking the sound of your ignition alarm. The Spanish moss hanging from the trees has doubled almost overnight, the crickets and frogs are back in force-a buzzing, dissonant symphony in the dark, occasionally punctuated by the sounds of far off dogs, bobcats, and gators. Possums and raccoons will be tearing up the trash soon…Way up on the highway, I can hear a werewolf on a motorcycle, way up in the revs…the mechanical shriek fades, and the Swamp goes back to its own concerns.
Goodnight, all. The best of all possible tomorrows to you all.
sorry about your battery, perhaps wait and see what I throw out there, then critique away?
Worked a bit on some CAD revisions and commented here on Wanker's Gawd fixation over at ddayen's great coverage today, wrote about 6 emails to State Republican Senators and Assembly persons. Expecting 6 to 12 inches of snow next 18 hours. Must have worked hard enough to fall asleep in the chair, tea and back to my bed soon.
a busy busy day! and *brrrrr*
And to Margot, if you still around and I think you said Ohio, garlic gets planted in the fall, overwinters under the snow, one of the first sprouts of spring. I'm north of you and the ground is still frozen, I am envious of the people with an extra couple months of growing season.
I'll say goodnight/good morning in advance here, trying to be polite. Reloads are slooowww, today.
'bout time for me to turn back into a pumpkin myself. thanks for letting me hang out with ya tonight.
g'nite all
Today I picked up 22 avocados off the ground. They'd been blown off our tree in a recent storm.
Good thing I have a lemon tree as well.
CT, c'mon over. Bring chips & beer.
I am late to the party.
This station has a Traditional Jazz program weekdays from 10 AM until noon ET. There are many other shows which might be of interest, e.g., Irish music, Cuban music, Cajun music, etc. See the program guide at this site.
Sidney Bechet
I believe the woman in the video is film actress Louise Brooks.
"Pandora's Box" (silent) is good.
Bobby Blue Bland does the definitive version of St James Infirmary IMO.
The initial reason I posted was I thought Louis Armstrong had the best version of St. James Infirmary I have heard. I heard it on WWOZ 1 morning about 15 years ago. I stumbled around youtube for a while, but couldn't find a version of his that sounded nearly as spectacular as I remembered.
"Diary of a Lost Girl" (silent) with Louise Brooks is also good. She was born in 1906 and so made both of these films before she was 24 years old. Her haircut was all the rage, I believe.

N.Y. Times Reporter Opposed To Covering Masters Unless Female Membership Is Allowed
Published April 6, 2012
LET'S GET TO THE GOLF: In N.Y., Phil Mushnck writes ESPN "went right to live golf yesterday" when its coverage began at 3:00pm ET. There was "no extended, dramatized tribute to the Masters as special, no attempt to encourage viewers to watch what they already had tuned in to watch." There was a "fabulous mini-feature on the Champions' Locker Room," which showed that Arnold Palmer "shared his with Byron Nelson, Jack Nicklaus shares his with first Masters champ Horton Smith" (N.Y. POST, 4/6). Meanwhile, in Augusta, Billy Byler noted ESPN's coverage of The Masters "will again include its 3-D network, and the production crew has expanded its broadcasts with more hours, technology and cameras." Last year's Masters, the "first aired live in 3-D, had 18 cameras" but this year the crew will "work with 28 cameras covering the entire back nine." The 3D broadcast "will include all four rounds of the tournament with three hours of daily coverage" (AUGUSTA CHRONICLE, 4/5).
FIRST-HAND KNOWLEDGE: In a Q&A with CBS' Nick Faldo, a three-time Masters winner, the Albany TIMES UNION's Pete Dougherty asked, "Is it difficult for you to come here to Augusta National as a broadcaster rather than as a player?" Faldo said, "I'm very happy, extremely happy to be here in the booth, and I'm happy I'm not on the golf course. I had my day. That was two moons ago. So to be able to still be part of the great tournament and be part of CBS, I'm glad I've got a role to be here to call the Masters." Dougherty asked, "When you call an event like the Masters, how much does your own experience help because you've played this course every year?" Faldo: "I can talk this golf course until I'm blue in the face, and I love doing that. I know every little hump and bump, so I know what's possible. We get shots at times where you know the player has no chance to get up and down, or it looks very difficult and you can say, 'He could do this. It looks possible.' All those sorts of things, the strategy. I know Augusta National backward. That's a big help" (Albany TIMES UNION, 4/6).
LEADING THE WAY? USA TODAY's Michael Hiestand writes The Masters, "even if it's from some self-anointed royalty, at least provides a lesson for the rest of the sports world: Event organizers don't have to roll over for TV." While the event's rights fee from CBS "aren't public ... it has to be leaving money on the table in allowing CBS to show far fewer commercials than typical TV sports." Which leads, "perhaps not coincidentally, to the consistently highest-rated golf on TV." Hiestand: "Other sports could learn something: You really could skip obedience training before your next TV deal" (USA TODAY, 4/6).

Hilary Devey
(29 Posts)Quote from today's Observer. What do you think?
The glass ceiling does not exist. You find a good woman in business and she'll often be better than a man the problem is finding them. I can't get any women on my board because women generally put their partner and children first.
And the thing is, I think sometimes they are, but they still don't get penalized for it because there is the expectation that women are inefficient workers because they'll have kids.
I would also be asking the question as to why men aren't putting their partners and children first.
How do you mean about equal earning potential, though, number? Because, say for the sake of argument that DH and I were both doing what I do, were the same age, were doing equally well right now. Would we have the same earning potential? Well, you could say yes, we do, we're trying for jobs that have the same salaries and equally likely to get them.
But, statistically, we know women tend actually to end up earning less in the same jobs, and not progressing up the career ladder - and it isn't because all of them decide they want children so they will go part-time. Even women who don't have children suffer from this effect.
So, by 'equal earning potential', you'd have to mean a woman in a better job than her male partner, or who was much better at it than him (or older, so further up the ladder?), right?
I'm sure there are couples in that situation, but it seems to me most of us won't be.
Separate issue - but something that I think matters a huge amount is that, if someone like me or mystery decides to have kids, we can plan all we like and both of us can say 'oh, yes, I want to go straight back to work and DH will stay home', but we can't know we will be fit to do that. If a man's partner has a child, that man knows for certain that nothing in the process of childbirth is going to make him unfit for work. Sure, all sorts of unforeseen things could happen, he could end up a single dad with a baby, or caring for a child with needs that hadn't been anticipated. He will certainly end up knackered.
But a woman goes into it knowing there's a chance she'll end up having major surgery or complications, and knowing there's a chance she'll get PND.
At the moment, the structure of a lot of workplaces (all?) just isn't geared up for that. Devey's language about depression shows her ignorance here, and her language about women 'putting their partner and children first' suggests that's the only possible reason women don't get back into work. But what about those women who're forced, for medical reasons, to put themselves first and to take time to recover from an illness? In her world view, these women either don't exist, or she's subsuming them into the category of women who 'put their partner and children first', as if women looking after their own health were actually doing it for someone else and therefore culpable of failing in the business world. That's pretty unpleasant, IMO.
My career comes before my husband's. When our baby is born I will have some mat leave then return to work full time at which point DH will become a SAHD.
We have arranged it this way as 1) I earn more 2) I am more ambitious 3) he will bea better stay at home parent than I would be. Btw that is not to say he will be a better parent just that he will enjoy being able to stay at home with them more then I would.
I have colleagues who have made the same choices. I think that this is actually on the up. I think that it does depend on finding a partner who is willing to take a back seat career wise. A lot of men are still uncomfortable with the idea of their partners earning more etc.
However if a woman decides that she wants to put her career second to her husband's because that is what is best for her and her family than that is the right decision for her. Every relationship would do this differently I think.
Bit of a rambly post sorry. Still new to posting in fwr.
I like controversy-seeking missile as a description!
Will read the article properly tomorrow to comment.
In my opinion it makes a difference because no one party has less or more to gain when they come from an equal financial point of view.
(Btw, sorry, I am asking this because I don't know, not because I am trying to be combative ... I am falling asleep here so hope that didn't sound rude before.)
Does that make a big difference?
Yes I admit I am coming at it from couples where each originally had equal earning potential.
Well, it's outside my experience and I'm not slating ... but I do wonder if they are 'making it so easy'. I mean, isn't there a point where you simply can't afford to fight?
It's easy for me to say my career matters more than DH's. We don't have kids who depend on us. In the end, it doesn't matter much. But if we had three children, I can see why we might care hugely about money - don't you think?
Obviously it'd be great if that could go alongside promoting women's careers but my hunch is this has to happen on a bigger level than individual couples.
I meant that a woman with children AND a partner stop it making it so easy for their partners but yes I will get slated won't I...
But how could women 'take responsibility', given that we know childless women are judged?
I have no children. It seems possible I will never have children. But it is still assumed by employers, on average, that I deserve to be paid less than a man ... because I might have children and I might give up work to care for them.
Explain how I could possibly 'take responsibility' for that?
I think that women need to take some responsibility and perhaps there's some truth in Hilary's statement.
Well, I think it partly is, but it's misogyny that blames the women in this situation. We could live in a society where no-one assumes women would bear the brunt of childcare, where childcare wasn't a woman's issue. I think if we did, it would be much better.
But that's surely the reason for why we're in a male dominated society work wise?
Oh, yes. I think that's common - it's hard not to, surely?
I mean, what is the alternative? One partner or other has to put their career on hold, unless one or both earn over the threshold to afford huge amounts of help. And we know childless women are discriminated against in terms of salary, so it is likely that even before a couple have children, it will make financial sense for the woman to sacrifice her career.
Yes but some women put their careers on hold to allow their partners unlimited hours and travel.
I don't. I don't mean I sabotage it or anything, but I don't do anything to help. He wouldn't want me to, either.
So some women don't enable their partner's career progression?
Controversy-seeking missile. She's getting quite irritating now.
Her comment about depression is extremely ignorant.
they're soundbites, she's drumming up business for her tv show. She is a very tough woman.
I'm more offended by her comment on depression. Not because it's more wrong, I know - I just am. She is trying to be provocative, isn't she? Is her company in trouble that she needs to do this?
Here's the full article.
In her autobiography she talks about workplace sexism and intimidation , and the issues she had with her partner and her son. Bearing in mind how she describes her own experience as a woman I would be interested to see the whole Observer article, she got to the top but what she went through has destroyed others.
You hear that shit so often 'women prefer family to career'. It's put down to 'hardwiring' (hate that fucking phrase, it means nothing) rather than culture which is so disingenuous and lazy.
And why don't they question why women at the top are 'often better than men', seems pretty clear to me; because they've had to work harder/study more to get to the same point.
Pretty clear to see when you don't have your head stuck up your arse <angry tonight>

1995 Volvo 460
Prosvery roomy, cheap to buy, quite good mileage ConsSlow, expensive spare parts.
Good Car But Don't Expect It To Be A Sportscar. — Performance is virtually non existing. It is kind of slow, the braking is acceptable and the handling is horrible (I have to mount a rear roll bar.) I made quite a lot of repairs on the car, intake gasket changed, changed the brakes all the way around. had to change both left wheel bearings. Changed the left driveshaft boot. The appearance. Well it's a Volvo, It is designed like a brick. One really good thing about it is that it is a very practical car, the boot is huge for the size of the car and you can fit 5 grown up men in it. Cost of ownership. The spare parts are quite expensive but it does around 13km/l so that is alright. Fun Factor. Non existing, it almost killed my enthusiasm for cars. Primary Use: Commuting to work

1995 Volvo 460
ProsCheap to maintain, good build quality, very good in low temperatures areas (no troubles in starting the engine, and warms up quickly). ConsToo sloppy handling at speeds greater than city limit, lack of performance.
Solid Basics — - Performance: Nothing surprising in it's performance; about 8-9s 0-100km/h, nothing wrong with brakes.. Handling is precise, even too precise when driving 60km/h or faster. - Build Quality: Only some minor repairs; right front door's footlist detached, left side mirror's adjustment plug snaped. Ofcourse there's been some normal repairs for a car this old, such as dampers, engine seals, gearbox was replaced some while ago, etc.. - Appearance: I'd say this looks better from outside than inside, though both interior and exterior are very basic looking. - Cost of Ownership: Eats oil as any older car, and consumes about 6-7l/100km on highway speeds. - Fun Factor: Not really; this car is for old people, who enjoy calm (slow) and easy rides. Only have this as temporary vehicle at the moment. |

Whakatane (/fɑːkəˈtɑːni/ fah-kə-TAH-nee, alt. /ˌwɒkəˈtɑːni/; Māori pronunciation: [fakaˈtaːnɛ]) is a town in the eastern Bay of Plenty Region in the North Island of New Zealand, 90 km east of Tauranga and 89 km north-east of Rotorua, at the mouth of the Whakatane River. Whakatane District is the encompassing territorial authority, which covers an area to the south and west of the town, excluding the enclave of Kawerau.
Whakatane has an urban population of 19,000, making it New Zealand's 24th largest urban area, and the Bay of Plenty's third largest urban area behind Tauranga and Rotorua. Another 15,300 people living in the rest of the Whakatane District. Around 40% of the district's population have Māori ancestry. The District has a land area of 4,442.07 km² (1,715.09 sq mi). Whakatane District was created in 1976.
Whakatane forms part of the parliamentary electorate of East Coast, represented by Anne Tolley of the New Zealand National Party. It is the main urban centre of the Eastern Bay Of Plenty sub-region; incorporating Whakatane, Kawerau, and Opotiki, the Eastern Bay stretches from Otamarakau in the west, to Cape Runaway in the north-east and Whirinaki in the south. It is the seat of the Bay of Plenty Regional Council, chosen as a compromise between the region's two larger cities, Tauranga and Rotorua.
Whakatane was affected by the 1987 Edgecumbe earthquake.
Maori Occupation[edit]
The site of the town has long been populated. Māori pā (Māori fortified village) sites in the area date back to the first Polynesian settlements, estimated to have been around 1200 CE. According to Māori tradition Toi-te-huatahi, later known as Toi-kai-rakau, landed at Whakatane about 1150 CE in search of his grandson Whatonga. Failing to find Whatonga, he settled in the locality and built a pa on the highest point of the headland now called Whakatane Heads, overlooking the present town. Some 200 years later the Mataatua waka landed at Whakatane.[2]
The name "Whakatane" is reputed to commemorate an incident occurring after the arrival of the Mataatua. The men had gone ashore and the canoe began to drift. Wairaka, a chieftainess, said "Kia Whakatāne au i ahau" ("I will act like a man"), and commenced to paddle (which women were not allowed to do), and with the help of the other women saved the canoe.[3]
The region around Whakatane was important during the New Zealand Wars of the mid 19th century, particularly the Volkner Incident. Its role culminated in 1869 with raids by Te Kooti's forces and a number of its few buildings were razed, leading to an armed constabulary being stationed above the town for a short while. Whakatane beach heralded an historic meeting on 23 March 1908 between Prime Minister Joseph Ward and the controversial Māori prophet and activist Rua Kenana Hepetipa. Kenana claimed to be Te Kooti's successor.
European Settlement[edit]
The town was a notable shipbuilding and trade centre from 1880 and with the draining of the Rangitikei swamp into productive farmland from 1904, Whakatane grew considerably. In the early 1920s it was the fastest growing town in the country for a period of about three years and this saw the introduction of electricity for the first time. The board mill at Whakatane began as a small operation in 1939[4] but has grown over the years, it continues operating to this day.
The Whakatane River once had a much longer and more circuitous route along the western edge of the Whakatane urban area, having been significantly re-coursed in the 1960s with a couple of its loopier loops removed to help prevent flooding and provide for expansion of the town. Remnants of the original watercourse remain as Lake Sullivan and the Awatapu lagoon. The original wide-span ferro-concrete bridge constructed in 1911 at the (aptly named) Bridge Street was demolished in 1984 and replaced by the Landing Road bridge.[5]
The area of the town centre around Kakahoroa Drive was reclaimed around 1970 and later developed in the 1990s. The Hub, a large-format retail shopping centre on the edge of the town, was built in 2005–2007. Whakatane has in recent years benefited from 'coastal drift' of local maori from the heartland, its relative dominance over numerous smaller and less prosperous towns surrounding it, such as Te Teko (affectionately known as 'Texas') and Waimana, and its popularity as a retirement destination.
Mataatua Declaration in 1993[edit]
The 'First International Conference on the Cultural and Intellectual Property Rights of Indigenous Peoples' was held in Whakatane from 12 to 18 June 1993. This resulted in the Mataatua Declaration on Cultural and Intellectual Property Rights of Indigenous Peoples', commonly referred to as the Mataatua Declaration.
Flooding in 2004[edit]
Heavy rain struck the Bay of Plenty and Whakatane on 16–18 July 2004 causing severe flooding and resulting in a state of civil emergency being declared. Many homes and properties were flooded, forcing thousands of Whakatane residents to evacuate. The Rangitaiki River burst its banks, flooding large areas of farmland, and numerous roads were closed by floods and slips. A total of 245.8 mm of rain fell in Whakatane in the 48-hour period and many small earthquakes were also felt during this time, loosening the sodden earth and resulting in landslips that claimed two lives. These were the first earthquake deaths in New Zealand for nearly 40 years.[citation needed]

Whakatane frequently records the highest sunshine hours in New Zealand by the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA)- with 2703 (in 2008), 2561 (2010), 2602 (2012) and 2792 (2013) hours of sunshine respectively. However, the 2008 recorded hours were disputed because of abnormally high results in only the second year of official monitoring.[7] The town recorded an average of over 7.5hrs of sunshine a day in 2013[8] Whakatane also records the national daily high (temp) on approximately 55 days of the year.[9]
Moutohorā Whale Island is a small island off the Bay of Plenty coast about 12 kilometres north of Whakatane. The island has numerous sites of pā. It also provided shelter for James Cook's Endeavour in 1769. A whaling station existed on the island during the 19th century.
Whakatane is the gateway to Whakaari/White Island, an active marine volcano located 48 kilometres offshore. The mouth of the Whakatane River and Ohiwa Harbour have both provided berths for yachts, fishing trawlers and small ships since European settlement of the area. Ōhope Beach is a sandy beach stretching 11 km (7 mi) from the Ohiwa Harbour entrance.
Industries and tourism[edit]
The town's main industries are diverse: forestry, dairy farming, horticulture, fishing, tourism and manufacturing are all well-established. There is a paper mill and a newspaper press. Whakatane is also home to Aotearoa Breweries, makers of Mata beer. White Island is a popular destination for day cruises. Whakatane is also used as a base for many tourists who wish to explore other activities in the surrounding region. Popular tourist activities include swimming with dolphins, whale watching, chartered fishing cruises, surf tours, amateur astronomy, hunting, aviation and bushwalking.
Whakatane is home to the regional radio station One Double X - 1XX - one of the first privately owned commercial radio stations on air in New Zealand in the early 1970s.
Whakatane Airport is served by Air New Zealand subsidiary Eagle Airways, with direct flights using Beechcraft 1900D aircraft to Auckland. Air New Zealand is ceasing this service from April 2015. Air Chathams will be taking over starting April 2015.[10]
Private cars, limited public transport and taxis (as well as cycling and walking) are the primary modes of transport for residents. A regular public bus service runs between Whakatane and Ōhope. Once daily return bus services operate to Tauranga, en route from Kawerau and Opotiki on alternate weekdays.
Whakatane sits at the confluence of State Highway 30. State Highway 2 currently bypasses the urban area. There are two secondary schools in Whakatane, and a Maori tertiary institute- Te Whare Wananga O Awanuiarangi.
Coastal trading, including scows and steamships- notably the Northern Steamship Company service, which ran until 1959, have commonly used Whakatane as a port of call. Today it primarily services charter vessels, commercial & recreational fishing vessels. The depth of water over the Whakatane River entrance has been a limiting factor to the development of better port facilities, but it is generally held that a training wall along the western edge of the entrance would allow greater depths and safer crossings.
A passenger train called the Taneatua Express ran on the East Coast Main Trunk Railway (ECMT) as far as Taneatua until 1959. The Taneatua Branch line (now mothballed) was formerly part of the ECMT and connected with the current ECMT at Hawkens Junction.
A private railway line operated by Whakatane Board Mills (now Carter Holt Harvey Whakatane) formerly connected the company's mill on the western side of the river to the Taneatua Branch line at Awakeri. The Whakatane Board Mills Line was freight only, with no passenger service. In 1999 operation of the Whakatane Board Mills line was taken over by Tranz Rail (now KiwiRail) and the line was renamed the Whakatane Industrial line. The line has since been closed and lifted, and the Taneatua Branch line has been mothballed.
The town has access to modern telecommunications infrastructure including high speed internet access. In 2008 the content filter for the town's wireless Internet service rejected Google searches for "Whakatane" due to the pronunciation of the name.[11] The phenomenon of a name being blocked due to it being mistaken for an offensive term is known as the Scunthorpe problem.
