News from Square Books
Come join us for a marathon reading of Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird in celebration of her novel Go Set a Watchman to be released on Tuesday, July 14. We encourage people to sign to read for 10 minute shifts. Please call or visit the store to set a time to read. In the afternoon, as we approach the end of the story, there will be punch and appetizers followed by a champagne toast at the conclusion. On Tuesday July 14th we will open at 7:30 AM to sell Go Set a Watchman.
From the hugely acclaimed National Book Award finalist, a novel that will join the shortlist of classics about the Holocaust and the children caught up in it.
Aron, the narrator, is an engaging if peculiar young boy whose family is driven from the countryside into the Warsaw Ghetto. As his family is slowly stripped away from him, Aron and a handful of boys and girls risk their lives, smuggling and trading things through the "quarantine walls" to keep their people alive, hunted all the while by blackmailers and by Jewish, Polish, and German police (not to mention the Gestapo). Eventually Aron is "rescued" by Janusz Korczak, a Jewish-Polish doctor and advocate of children's rights famous throughout prewar Europe who, once the Nazis swept in, was put in charge of the ghetto orphanage. In the end, of course, he and his staff and all the children are put on a train to Treblinka, but has Aron managed to escape, to spread word about the atrocities, as Korczak hoped he would?
Jim Shephard has masterfully made this child's-eye view of the Warsaw Ghetto mesmerizing, sometimes comic despite all odds, and truly heartbreaking. It is nothing less than a masterpiece.
On Monday, June 15th, please help us welcome Marja Mills with her memoir and biography of Harper Lee, The Mockingbird Next Door. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is one of the best loved novels of the twentieth century. But for the last fifty years, the novel's celebrated author, Harper Lee, has said almost nothing on the record. Journalists have trekked to her hometown of Monroeville, Alabama, where Harper Lee, known to her friends as Nelle, has lived with her sister, Alice, for decades, trying and failing to get an interview with the author. But in 2001, the Lee sisters opened their door to "Chicago Tribune "journalist Marja Mills. It was the beginning of a long conversation--and a great friendship. In 2004, with the Lees' blessing, Mills moved into the house next door to the sisters. She spent the next eighteen months there, sharing coffee at McDonalds and trips to the Laundromat with Nelle, feeding the ducks and going out for catfish supper with the sisters, and exploring all over lower Alabama with the Lees' inner circle of friends. Nelle shared her love of history, literature, and the Southern way of life with Mills, as well as her keen sense of how journalism should be practiced. As the sisters decided to let Mills tell their story, Nelle helped make sure she was getting the story--and the South--right. Alice, the keeper of the Lee family history, shared the stories of their family. The Mockingbird Next Door is the story of Mills's friendship with the Lee sisters. It is a testament to the great intelligence, sharp wit, and tremendous storytelling power of these two women, especially that of Nelle. Mills was given a rare opportunity to know Nelle Harper Lee, to be part of the Lees' life in Alabama, and to hear them reflect on their upbringing, their corner of the Deep South, how To Kill a Mockingbird affected their lives, and why Nelle Harper Lee chose to never write another novel - until now.

Today, May 12, is the release of John Grisham's Theodore Boone: The Fugitive. This is book 5 in the Theo Boone series. On a field trip to Washington, DC, Theo spots a familiar face on the Metro: Duffy, who jumped bail and was never seen again. Theo's quick thinking helps bring Duffy back to Strattenburg to stand trial. But now that Duffy knows who he is, Theo is in greater danger than he's ever been in before. Even when everything is on the line, Theodore Boone will stop at nothing to make sure a killer is brought to justice. So be sure to stop by Square Books Jr. and grab your signed copy today.
On this Saturday, May 2nd, For Mississippi Bookstore Day we are selling some of the limited edition special items produced for Independent Bookstore Day, like the tea towel with the Pat Conroy quote and the Margaret Atwood stencil, as well as an exclusive and very special tshirt designed by Laurie Fisher, the author of the bestselling WHERE DO THEY GO ON GAME DAY. Throughout the day we'll serve some refreshments and raffle off items. We will also include a FREE Roz Chast tote for purchases over $50.00 while supplies last. But as we are celebrating bookstores, we'll mostly just do what bookstores do best, recommend and sell books to all who come to see us at any of the three Square Books stores on the square in Oxford.
We knew somewhat vaguely about a project being done by Alysia Steele, who teaches in the Meek Journalism School here at the University of Mississippi, a book of photographs of older African American women from the Delta, to be published by Center Street, a division of Hachette Books.
Thirty minutes after greeting a warm crowd at Off Square Books Thursday, March 12, Tom McGuane sat in a wooden armchair on the stage and read "Casserole," the shortest story in his excellent new collection from Knopf, Crow Fair. Explaining that the story's brevity would allow more time for conversation, he then answered questions: on the difference between directing movies (he was the director of "92 in the Shade" and "Missouri Breaks") and writing fiction, he said he enjoyed directing but that it takes too much time to execute a single idea, and he had "too many other things to do" with fiction; about the short story form, his view is that it is presently enjoying something of a revival, mentioning the number of writers (Maile Meloy, Donald Antrim) as well as some favorites, including Updike, Cheever, and "another Canadian, besides Alice Munro -- Mavis Gallant"; about Barry Hannah, in whose memory Crow Fair is dedicated, he told a funny tale of once being fooled by Hannah in his "jet pilot" personage.
Forty-five minutes later, with a rousing ovation, he signed a lot of books, both old and new, and met with friends, also the old and new. Tom Franklin was able to meet the writer who once called him and left on Franklin's phone a message of praise "I wanted never to erase." Many if not all of us there felt the same way Jere Hoar did, as he told us in a recent message: Today, I'm still enjoying the memory of Tom McGuane's splendid "reading." It was one of the best in my memory. I'm happy to have been there.

2001 Chrysler Sebring Q&A
2001 Chrysler Sebring Question: Passenger side floor wet in both front and back
I have a 2001 Chrysler Sebring LXI 3.0L. The passenger side floor is wet in the front and back. Do you know what the problem might be? if it is antifreeze..what is the problem. What is the problem if it is water? - Visitor
2 Answers
Answer 1
If it's antifreeze its a bad sign, the heater core may be leaking! Big job! It is best to look for water leaks when everything is dry. First is the door seal or door, damaged in anyway? I have seen the seat belt having damaged the door seal on many vehicles. Do the doors close flush with body? Ensure the door seal makes good and uniform contact with the door (particularly important if the vehicle has been involved in an accident. You may need to pull back carpets pull back the carpets and sit inside the car (you may need a flashlight) and get a friend with a garden hose to spray water around the door jams to determine if the water is entering the doorway. Then spray water around the windscreen moving around the circumference of the windscreen. Look around the windscreen area and look up from the floor mat area (as best you can) to determine if water is leaking in around the windscreen seal. Is there any rust around the windscreen area or body work? If you have a sun roof there is a drain tube at each corner of the roof to channel away water. A blocked drain may cause water to fall from the sunroof area Water can also come up through the floor pan as you drive through water on the road, if any rubber bung or "seam sealer" has been disturbed or is missing. Remove any debris present in the panel below the windscreen, and ensure any drains for the cowl area there are free and not clogged up or restricted. - patrick mannion
Answer 2
Had same problem. After taking off weather strip, headliner,plastic interior panels, traced the leak to the sunroof right front corner caulk dried out. There is an overflow tray (holds about an ounce of liquid) that leads right to the drain tube. Cold have caulked from the outside/top all along. What fools you is water runs along headliner to the "a" pillar, behind glove compartment, - prubino

History of the Educational Opportunity Fund Program
In November 1967, in the aftermath of the previous summer's riots in Newark, New Jersey's newly-appointed Chancellor of Higher Education, Ralph A. Dungan, directed a memorandum to the presidents of all of the state's institutions of higher education. In it he outlined a proposed program of special assistance to young men and women from economically and educationally disadvantaged backgrounds. The presidents' response was immediate, widespread, and overwhelmingly favorable. Enthusiasm was particularly marked at those institutions that were participating in the federally supported Upward Bound Program, which sought to help high school students from disadvantaged backgrounds prepare for entry into college.
The following February, the Select Commission on Civil Disorders (the Lilly Commission, established in response to the events in Newark) made its report to Governor Richard Hughes, who subsequently submitted his Moral Recommitment message to the New Jersey State Legislature. The message called for the establishment of a broad range of programs to address the basic conditions the Commission had cited as contributing to the summer's unrest. Among those programs was the Educational Opportunity Fund, established by legislation sponsored by then - freshman legislator Thomas Kean.
EOF set the pace for many initiatives which today are widely incorporated into college life. Among the many powerful strategies implemented by EOF are precollege articulation, basic skills testing and remediation, systematic retention efforts, peer counseling and peer tutoring, academic support courses, multicultural curricula and human relations programming, student leadership development, and outcomes-based program evaluation.
EOF has also been a leader and a linchpin in the higher education system's effort to increase diversity. While participation is not limited to minority students, EOF sponsors more than one-third of the African American and Latino students at the state colleges and New Jersey's independent institutions, and over one-quarter of the African American and Latino students enrolled at New Jersey colleges and universities participate in the EOF program. EOF enrolls about 12.5% of the first-time; full-time New Jersey freshmen who enter the state's colleges and universities each fall.
History of the Maximizing Academic Potential Program
Rowan University is deeply committed to supporting the continued and increased enrollment of a diverse population. To this purpose, the University developed the Maximizing Academic Potential Program in 1986, initially named the Minority Achievement Program. The purpose of MAP is to provide access to higher education to academically underprepared, first generation students who do not qualify under the financial eligibility guidelines of the EOF program.

Welcome to the Planet Explorers Wiki
Planet Explorers is an open world voxel based sandbox adventure rpg game set on a distant planet. The game uses a new OpenCL system based on the Unity 3D engine to allow players to change the terrain in anyway, create new objects in any form, and do it anywhere.
The Game
In Planet Explorers, it is the year 2287, one of the first colony ships sent out by Earth arrives at the planet Maria, in the Epsilon Indi Star System. During its landing sequence, something appears in front of the massive ship that causes it to lose control and crash into the planet. Some of the colonists survive in lifeboats, but what they find is an unforgiving land filled with creatures ready to outlast the visitors from Earth. Now the survivors must explorer, gather, build, create, fight, and ultimately, conquer the land.
The gameplay will be in 3rd and 1st person perspectives. Players will be able to customize their character, combine and create weapons, vehicles, and buildings. At the same time, players will have to defeat multitudes of enemies of varying intelligence and defend the remnants of the colonists. There will also be a mission system that features NPCs giving the player goals to achieve to advance the storyline. The game will feature a single player story line as well as random single and multiplayer adventure maps. Multiplayer will feature prominently in Planet Explorers, we'll touch on the game modes that we want to include in a future update.

Gold languishes below $1,170 ahead of U.S. jobs data
According to the World Gold Council, gold jewellery sales in Dubai fell drastically last year – mainly thanks to the exit of many Indians and the financial crisis.
February 18, 2010 3:12 by Aarti Nagraj
The UAE, especially Dubai, was once considered the city of gold by people living abroad, particularly those from India. Anybody taking a trip to Dubai from India was expected to return with some gold jewellery. Always. While the mindset still exists to quite a degree, it seems like the financial crisis has persuaded many Indians to curb their frenzy for the yellow metal.
In 2008, the UAE gold industry was worth $3.07 billion – but demand fell by 33 percent in 2009, when the industry was worth around $2.29 billion, according to a World Gold Council (WGC) report issued on Wednesday.
"Jewellery sales in the UAE and Dubai in particular are continuing to suffer under the pressure of future expatriates [in particular Indian workers], the economic downturn and problems in the property sector," the report said. "Lower than normal tourist numbers have also continued to impact, although these showed signs of improvement in the latest quarter."
"Thousands of jobs were lost and that this directly had an impact on the volume of gold sales in Dubai," Vasant Mehta, chairman of the Mumbai-based Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council told Reuters last month.
"There were so many Indians and Pakistanis who were laid off during the economic crisis and many of these workers used to buy gold from Dubai to send home to their families and that's why the drop in UAE gold sales was worse than India," he said.
Along with the reducing tourist numbers, the WGC report also blamed the increasing the price of gold for a fall in its consumption; its prices went up by 12 percent in 2009.
While some of our friends going on a vacation to India are still buying gold, Kipp feels that the Indian fascination for Dubai gold has faded a bit. Do you agree, or is it just a temporary after-effect of the crisis? Does buying gold still feature first on the itinerary of your family/friends coming from abroad?

Hey, I'm Kate!
I'm a laid-back creative lady. Originally from Baltimore, I went to college in Chicago, and moved to Brooklyn in 2008, where I've been ever since. I love to travel and experience new places, new people, new foods, new new-ness. Whatever the case may be. It all thrills me. Walked El Camino De Santiago in 2009, which was an incredible experience, and spent time farming in Spain and Ireland. I work as a writer, educator and performer (mostly improv comedy right now); love to talk about books and writing. And food. Avocados are key, amongst other things. I'm also a person who values private time and space, as well as good, honest, open communication. All else fails without it, in my opinion. I like the idea of giving for the sake of giving, without needing or expecting that it be returned.

The Sang-O class submarines are in use by North Korea, and are the country's largest home-built submarines. A single unit was captured by the Republic of Korea Navy (South Korea) after it ran aground on 18 September 1996 in the 1996 Gangneung submarine infiltration incident.
Sang-O II / K-300[edit]
It was widely reported [2] in March 2011 that a new version of the Sang-O class had been deployed in North Korea. Satellite imagery from 2005 suggests the Sang-O II / K-300 may have been produced at the Mayang-do naval base and fitted out at the dry docks located at 39.9978 N, and 128.20019 E.[3] Other footage of the nearby docks of Sinp'o appear to depict the Sang-O II / K-300 as early as 2004 (at 40 01'31.20"N 128 09'55.80"E). Subsequent satellite imagery shows the Sang-O II / K-300 deployed to the Ch'aho-rodongjagu submarine Navy Base at 40.205441 N 128.649524 E on North Korea's east coast.[3]
According to the KPA Journal,[1] the decision to develop a larger, improved version of the Sang-O came in the late 1990s or early 2000. The Sang-O II / K-300 is a stretched version of the original Sang-O class with an approximate length of 39 to 40 metres and a corresponding surface displacement of approximately 300 to 340 tons. The increased length and internal volume would suggest an increased in the operational range of the submarine and troop/equipment carrying capabilities. Top speed is also reported to be higher in the new model meaning an improved propulsion system is likely using some of the extra length.

Product description
The Art of War is almost certainly the most famous study of strategy ever written and has had an extraordinary influence on the history of warfare. The principles Sun-tzu expounded were utilized brilliantly by such great Asian war leaders as Mao Tse-tung, Giap, and Yamamoto. First translated two hundred years ago by a French missionary, Sun-tzu's Art of War has been credited with influencing Napoleon, the German General Staff, and even the planning for Desert Storm. Many Japanese companies make this book required reading for their key executives. And increasingly, Western businesspeople and others are turning to the Art of War for inspiration and advice on how to succeed in competitive situations of all kinds. Unlike most editions of Sun-tzu currently available (many simply retreads of older, flawed translations), this superb new translation makes use of the best available classical Chinese manuscripts, including the ancient "tomb text" version discovered by archaeologists at Linyi, China. Ralph Sawyer, an outstanding Western scholar of ancient Chinese warfare and a successful businessman in his own right, places this classic work of strategy in its proper historical context. Sawyer supplies a portrait of Sun-tzu's era and outlines several battles of the period that may have either influenced Sun-tzu or been conducted by him. While appreciative of the philosophical richness of the Art of War, this edition stresses Sun-tzu's practical origins and presents a translation that is both accurate and accessible.

Author information
Ralph D. Sawyer, one of America's leading scholars in Chinese warfare, has worked extensively with major intelligence and defense agencies. After studying at MIT and Harvard and a brief stint of university teaching, Sawyer has spent the past thirty years lecturing and doing international consulting work focused on China.
Review quote
Robert L. O'Connell, author of Arms and Men: A History of Warm Weapons, and Aggression "A tour de force. Sawyer puts this most famous of the classic Chinese military writings into context and shows that Sun-tzu was not just a solitary genius, but the product of a remarkably rich martial culture." Robin D.S. Yates, Burlington Northern Professor of Asian Studies, Dartmouth College "I am convinced that this translation...will prove to be the definitive edition for many years to come." Arther Ferrill, author of The Origins of War: From the Stone Age to Alexander the Great "Fills a serious gap for anyone interested in the history of ancient warfare...a fascinating book."

Picture: Mel Gibson 2011 Cannes International Film Festival - Day 8 - The Beaver - Photocall Cannes, France - 18.05.11
Mel Gibson is set to work on a film about Judah Maccabee, the Jewish warrior whose ancient victory over the Greek-Syrian armies is celebrated by Jews worldwide with the festival of Hanukkah.
The LA Times reports that Gibson is developing the picture with Warner Bros. with his own Icon Productions sealing the producing deal. The star will decide if he'll direct - or maybe even act - in the film following the completion of the script, which is to be written by Joe Eszterhas. However, such news it likely to be met with controversy following ongoing accusations that the Australian is anti-Semitic; those claims came after Gibson was arrested in 2006, with subsequent remarks made while in custody viewed as racist and reported nationwide.
The Anti-Defamation League in the US has already issued a statement saying that "As a hero of the Jewish people and a universal hero in the struggle for religious liberty, Judah Maccabee deserves better," and going on to add "It would be a travesty to have the story of the Maccabees told by one who has no respect and sensitivity for other people's religious views."
Entertainment news site TMZ, meanwhile, spoke to RABBI MARVIN HIER - founder and Dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center that focuses on the travesties of racism and the holocaust - and were told that Gibson working on the movie is "like having a white supremacist portray Martin Luther King Jr." Such words are unlikely to deter the 55 year-old who previously met controversy when portraying religion while directing 2004's 'The Passion Of The Christ.'

To be honest nothing's better than a good looking big girl like those posted by painted.
I knew better than to click this thread...
Beauty has no correlation to dress size.
OK, let me clarify...
Big girls = OK
Fat and flabby = not OK
Hey biscuit - The girl in your avatar is too skinny - the ribs sticking out make it look like she has multiple breasts
Nah, she's just sucking it in... she's by no means a "big girl" but she's not super skinny either...
I will say that I like girls with a little meat over super skinny girls...
Nah man I didn't get my licensce to operate heavy machinery in college... sorry
If that's your idea of a little meat on her bones .... well, that's just sad.
No, that last comment of mine was not in reference to Anna, just in general. Anna is by no means "meaty".
too skinny? r u a homo?

Caroline wondered why i "waste time" arguing the meaning of the

on the present interpretations of what those equations mean! So are those of
all physicists.
Until they can be convinced that those interpretations are false, rather than
the equations themselves, none of them will pay serious attention to

Since the only way to so convince them is by purely mathematical arguments,
that's the reason why i spend so much time on this ultimately unimportant
Why "ultimately unimportant"? Because once everyone agrees that the
of STR is incorrect, STR will disappear and only the metaphysics of the
physical structures the equations validly treat will remain important.

The fifth book in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series follows the darkest year yet for our young wizard, who finds himself knocked down a peg or three after the events of last year. Somehow, over the summer, gossip (usually traced back to the magic world's newspaper, the Daily Prophet) has turned Harry's tragic and heroic encounter with Voldemort at the Triwizard Tournament into an excuse to ridicule and discount the teen. Even Professor Dumbledore, headmaster of the school, has come under scrutiny by the Ministry of Magic, which refuses to officially acknowledge the terrifying truth that Voldemort is back. Enter a particularly loathsome new character: the toadlike and simpering ("hem, hem") Dolores Umbridge, senior undersecretary to the Minister of Magic, who takes over the vacant position of Defense Against Dark Arts teacher--and in no time manages to become the High Inquisitor of Hogwarts, as well. Life isn't getting any easier for Harry Potter. With an overwhelming course load as the fifth years prepare for their Ordinary Wizarding Levels examinations (O.W.Ls), devastating changes in the Gryffindor Quidditch team lineup, vivid dreams about long hallways and closed doors, and increasing pain in his lightning-shaped scar, Harry's resilience is sorely tested.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, more than any of the four previous novels in the series, is a coming-of-age story. Harry faces the thorny transition into adulthood, when adult heroes are revealed to be fallible, and matters that seemed black-and-white suddenly come out in shades of gray. Gone is the wide-eyed innocent, the whiz kid of Sorcerer's Stone. Here we have an adolescent who's sometimes sullen, often confused (especially about girls), and always self-questioning. Confronting death again, as well as a startling prophecy, Harry ends his year at Hogwarts exhausted and pensive. Readers, on the other hand, will be energized as they enter yet again the long waiting period for the next title in the marvelous, magical series. (Ages 9 and older) --Emilie Coulter

Mandela: Long Walk to FreedomHD Closed Captioning
Justin Chadwick
Open iTunes to preview, buy, and download this movie.
Plot Summary
Nelson Mandela's extraordinary journey to becoming one of history's most iconic figures is brought to life in MANDELA: LONG WALK TO FREEDOM. "Idris Elba powerfully conveys Mandela's charisma and impassioned dedication" (Claudia Puig, USA TODAY) as a political leader and human rights advocate. The film chronicles his early life, education, marriage to Winnie Mandela (Naomie Harris) and 27 year prison sentence before becoming South Africa's first democratically elected president and working to rebuild the country's once segregated society.
Rotten Tomatoes Movie Reviews
- Reviews Counted: 122
- Fresh: 71
- Rotten: 51
- Average Rating: 6.2/10
Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Even those familiar with the history will be impressed and moved to see these events as Mandela experienced them, before the Nobel Prize and universal adulation recast the past in a glow of inevitability.
Rotten: Aside from some youthful randiness early in the film, it wouldn't be out of place at a state funeral.
Rotten: Nelson Mandela gets the Classics Illustrated treatment with this handsome, undemanding biopic.
Fresh: Elba has long been better than the film roles he's been offered, a tradition that continues with his leading role here.
Customer Reviews
Amazing work
Superb acting..Heart touching Story
Beautifully made historic film!
This movie portrays the true devastation Madiba faced as well as the people, both black and white went through. It shows the harshness of both races and allows for the world to understand the history of South Africa and the impact Nelson Mandela had on the people of South Afruca. It is a great historic film, and everyone should watch it!

2005 Ford Taurus Q&A
2005 Ford Taurus Question: heater blower motor
The blower motor has quit working on my 2005 Ford Taurus, subsequently there's no heat! Is this a common problem for this vehicle? About how much will it cost to have it replaced? - sportsman

Answer 1
Wiring diagrams are different for manual control or automatic climate control. For cars with manual heater controls look for a blown 10 amp and 40 amp fuse that powers the blower motor relay. With the key on blower motor controls set to on the white/pink wire at the blower motor should have 12volts, if it doesn't the problem is "before" the motor ie fuse relay, wiring or switch. If you have power there, ground the orange /black wire if it doesn't make the blower motor spin the motor is bad, if grounding black/orange makes the blower motor spin the blower resistor pack is probably bad. There is a company that independent auto repair shops "buy" their information from that offer a very reasonable service to do it yourselvers. You get a one year subscription to year make and model specific repair procedures, service bulletins, component locations, wiring diagrams ect.... great quality information same as the professionals have ,much better than generic workshop manuals from parts stores, much cheaper than the factory manual. http://www.alldatadiy.com/ - patrick mannion
Answer 2
Customer Concern: The blower motor is inoperative. Tests/Procedures: 1. Check for power to the blower motor on the Pink/White (PK/WH) wire with the ignition switch in the Run position. 2. If there is no power to the blower motor on the PK/WH wire, check Fuse 28 (10 amp) and fuse 08 (40 amp) of the Central Junction Box (CJB) for a blown, missing, or poorly connected fuse. 3. If the fuses are OK, remove the blower motor relay and verify that two terminals indicate battery voltage with the key on. Terminal 86 of the relay is supplied a ground from the control switch. 4. Install a jumper between terminal 30 and 87. If the blower motor starts to work, terminal 85 of the relay shows power and terminal 86 indicates to be a ground, replace the blower motor relay. 5. If power is present at the blower motor on both circuits with the blower motor connected, access the blower motor resistor located close to the blower motor and verify that the Black (BK) wire indicates to be a ground. 6. If the BK wire indicates a good ground but all or some of the other circuits indicate battery voltage, the blower motor resistor is defective. 7. If there is a presence of water at the resistor, refer to TSB 04-15-3 to seal water away from the blower motor and resistor area. Potential Causes: Defective Blower Motor Defective Blower Motor Relay Blower Motor Resistor Burnt Fuse Switch Circuit Tech Tips: Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 04-15-3 relates to a water leak in the cowl area, which allows water entry into the heater case and will result in the loss of some or all of the blower motor function. - mahindra

I've rewritten this section, because the previous version didn't describe shills (instead, it described people who pretend to be something they are not, but such people are not shills unless they conform to the definitions given elsewhere in the article). The new version does indeed describe true shills on message boards, i.e., people who promote products, services, opinions, etc., without revealing their own conflict of interest in doing so (such as the fact that they work for a company that products a product they are endorsing). — Agateller 11:49, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
I'm not going to remove a whole section, but the new one "Shills on message boards" doesn't conform to what I understand by "shill". If someone makes up a bunch of BS about their qualifications and pretends to an erudition they don't have, heshe is just a liar. A shill is someon who *seems *neutral, but is actually not. But I could be wrong, so I'm just leaving a comment and someone else can yank the section if this makes sense. Mateo_LeFou
The section that talks about the message board shills needs to stay. Yes, shills try to appear neutral even though they are not. Shills belong to a class of liars who are either hired or motivated for business, political, scientific, social, or religious purposes and propaganda. Hence, the shill mentality is perfectly applicable to message boards as well, and is commonly hypothesized by the internet community to be rampant in many public forums, especially those types of forums that advertise certain products or forums that offer a wide variety of topics which concern government, religious, scientific, social and political issues. Justin Alvarez Jr. 08:46, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
I understand your point. What I think is missing from the concept of a message board shill is the existence of preliminary trust in the speaker, based on the fact that some *third *party vouches for himher. Some scenarios: Let's Suppose I think that global warming is bunk... 1) I go somewhere public and deliver a completely made-up lecture based on phony evidence and fake credentials and try to convince people that it's bunk. all I am is a liar. If I'm paid for this, I'm just a liar-for-hire. 2) If the same lecture is underwritten, promoted, and staged by, e.g. the Republican Party, or an automobile manufacturer, all I am is a partisan, or mouthpiece. 3) If it is underwritten by "The Committee for the Advancement of Geological Inquiry" it *sounds like an objective, scientific discussion. People infer that it (generally) conforms to scientific methods, peer review, etc. And they place a certain amount of trust in the event because of that. If it turns out that the CAGI is wholly owned and funded my an automobile manufacturer, and the methods of inquiry were not scientific, we have a genuine shill.
The message-board "shill" is more like case 1. Nobody thinks that posting a message -- in itself -- establishes any credibility. Trust is created as a writer says things that other people confirm. Even if I go to the extensive trouble of building a website for a phony organization, or journal, and transcripts for a non-existent college, there is no third-party joining in. Shilling must always have a touch of consipracy to it, an abuse of trust. People might think "well, if it's at CNN.com, it must be true" but nobody thinks, "well, if it's on a message board, it must be true." Mateo_LeFou
Good point. Perhaps message boards aren't the prime venues in which genuine trust can be effectively abused. What do you think about renaming the section to "Shills in the internet"? I'm sure there are a handful of high profiled websites on the internet that may be vulnerable to an abuse of trust. Although there is already a section called "Shills in auctions" which mentions online auctions, I think the prospect of renaming "Shills on message boards" to "Shills on the internet" would allow for a more in depth section which would include online auctions. Thoughts? Also, here are 2 source I found about internet shilling:
- Justin Alvarez Jr. 12:26, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
I have renamed the section "Shills on the Internet" as suggested above. My experience has been that many shill who appear on message boards, blog comments etc. also have their own web site. I don't think these various activities can be clearly separated.
As for how trust is established, if we take the example of the (live) auction shill, trust is established based on the shill's own claim rather than by a third party. The same applies on message boards etc. A shill will often establish his/her bona fides by saying things that are demonstrably true and/or insightful so that the lies that follow stand a chance of being taken for truth. At least that has been my experience of them.
I added two paragraphs about shills working for governments. Both my examples are related to 9/11. I know that this makes the section look a bit too focused on one issue. However I can't think of another case where both of the opposing claims of shill activity have been made so clearly or where each case has been argued at such length.
I have added a paragraph dealing with potential for message board sponsorship by companies selling products related to the theme of the message board as a possible way to buying protection the identity of the company's shills, as a result of experiencing this personally, although the sheer secrecy of shill operations makes siting verifiable references for this impossible. 16 February 2007
Employees Are Marketing Shills?[edit]
I removed the following from the Marketing section...
Sometimes, shills also assume the air of hapless overworked employees, whining in their blogs that they are working their asses off to get the long promised vaporware out of the door, and that we should please, please, please stop bugging them about it.
...besides seeming non-NPOV, this looks like some fallout from the recent controversy regarding Electronic Arts' employment practices. Des Courtney --220.127.116.11 19:22, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
Did I miss the section that talks about infomercials?
Wikipedia self-reference[edit]
- Given the growing importance of Wikipedia as a source of information it is no surprise that it too is targeted by shills. Naturally this creates a great deal of work for administrators and other contributors repairing the damage these people do.
Should this go, according to Avoid_self-references?
It seems that if the article got forked to a different site, the reference to Wikipedia would be out of context and without reason. If the article was being read elsewhere, nobody would be interested in how Wikipedia is targeted by shills. --- Arancaytar - avá artanhé (reply) 01:05, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
I see Wikipedia being used by shills all the time. Want to see where? Sam 06:38, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
In that case, Wikipedia is being mentioned in this context as a convenient example of an online encyclopedia, and it should be reformed to reflect this. ... "online reference works like, for example, Wikipedia ...". And even then it's still gratuitous. --- Arancaytar - avá artanhé (reply) 15:31, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

McDonalds and Rap Music[edit]
I changed the wording from McDonalds "recently launched a project" to "attempted to launch a project" as the article that information was from was writtin in 2005. Itsmeiam 14:45, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
Opposite of Shill[edit]
What is the word for the opposite of a shill? I'm asking for linguistic reasons for purposes of contributing to ths article, or possibly creating a new one. By "opposite" I mean a person (or group of persons) who pretend no association with the seller/group, but are paid by them to be antagonistic towards them. Examples include a political group I heard about who were having a protest, and they had members of their own group (or paid stooges) dress as an opposing group and "Counter-protest." The fake opponents acted rowdy and stupid, throwing eggs and shouting slurs. The idea was to make the opposing ideology look foolish and vicious, while the main group could weather it and look like intelligent, peaceful martyrs. Another more infamous example is the Gleiwitz incident of World War II, where German soldiers dressed as Polish soldiers and attacked a German radio station to give Germany and excuse to attack. Would such a concept we part of the definition of shill? Or is this another term/concept altogether? Legitimus 16:02, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
- What you describe may fall under the topic of false flag operations. However, false flag incidents are typically military (or at least paramilitary) in nature, so I'm not sure it's worth mentioning in an article that focuses primarily on economic malfeasance. Cheers, Skinwalker 16:09, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
- I think you're right. False-flag is a good term, that must what I was thinking of. But I see you're point. A civilian "false-flag" stunt has very little use in marketing and economics (the basis of "shill"). Legitimus 18:02, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
As an aside, this article is atrocious. I'm about to delete every unsourced and/or POV statement in it, which will not leave much left. Skinwalker 18:27, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
While some of your examples might qualify as "false-flag" (i.e.: Gleiwitz), a more general term for "opposite of shill" might be "Straw man". Although that term is most commonly used with "argument", it generally means something/someone that is set up for the purpose of being easily defeated or made to look bad. Originally: a human dummy made of straw for target practice using arrows, swords, and such. Note: A "shill" was originally a club/mace ("shillelagh" : big stick) -- So, I guess you could use a shill to knock down a straw man! ~Eric F 18.104.22.168 (talk) 09:01, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
Cleanup and references[edit]
The cleanup tag on this article was not accompanied by any specific citation of problems on this page, so I just did a bunch of copyediting based on WP:MOS and removed the tag. But I did add an "unreferenced" tag because the article cites no sources. A proper reference needs to cite specific information on any documents that include the facts from which our prose is derived, not just point to a website. I suspect some of the "external links" may be converted into proper citations. I'd be happy to advise anyone who wishes to try to do this. (I might eventually do it myself, but I'd rather help others learn how to do this — the old fishing vs. teaching to fish thing, ya know.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 23:35, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
Shills in legal casinos in the UK (and elswhere)[edit]
When mentioning shills as casino employees, I am not sure whether this would be legal in the UK. Casinos and bookmakers are not allowed to extend credit to customers except, through a loophole in the law, when the customer is not on the premises (this is discussed in A.P. Herbert's misleading cases). (A customer may pay by credit card-- but then it is the card provider, not the casino, that is offering the credit.)
It could be argued that an employee using the casino's money-- however fairly he is playing-- is betting on credit. I haven't much knowedge of this since casinos are pretty rare in the UK and I have never been in one-- one must have been a "member" of the casino for at least 24 hours to be able to play, so in practice it's not something one does on a whim.
SimonTrew (talk) 05:21, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
The Classic Usage[edit]
The classic use of the term is in regard to carnival and fairground games of 'skill' and chance and hucksterism. Any specific reason why that isn't addressed? (other than in the passing mention of three-card-monte, which is more in the nature of streetcorner hustling) Irish Melkite (talk) 13:37, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
A Real Stretch[edit]
The section on interrogation is a real stretch. In many years of working with both the law enforcement and correctional communities, I have never heard the term 'shill' applied to the practice described or the persons acting in that role - neither by those who would be the practitioners nor by those who would be its 'victims' - accused persons, prisoners, or convicts. Irish Melkite (talk) 13:43, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
I whole heartedly agree, the section on interrogation as well as the 'False Flag' Operation Northwood, puppet government and undercover operations pieces are ironically Shills themselves. It's obvious to me that this site has been infiltrated by a bunch of whacko 911 conspiracy theory trufers... peddling their religion wherever they can insert it as a 'related topic'. Initials OTS. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 15:51, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
Dubious Content[edit]
In general, I have added the citations missing template, because there are many points made in this article with no citations whatsoever. Just trying to get it polished up. :-)
However, more specifically, I am removing this; it was just added 3 days ago, and it looks like an attempt to spread a particular, unsubstantiated viewpoint; not like anything that belongs on Wikipedia. Lacks neutral point of view, of course lacks citation. It was added by someone at IP 188.8.131.52.
"An other type of shill found commonly in online forums works as a disinformation agent, spreading lies and propaganda in order to suppress the truth. Paid by government agencies and large corporations, they work to "debunk" alternative news, advanced technology, and conspiracies. These may be the most dangerous type of shills, because the threaten the advancement of understanding and truth, working to maintain public ignorance and protecting those who attempt to undermine the workings of a free society." Ikrieg (talk) 07:27, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
- That last statement is quite dubious in that it is not encyclopedic, but rather POV. There are references around for some of the claims, such as the references to the US members of Congress editing their WP entries (which I might add to the article soon). But in general this article is poorly written and covers the subject with far too few references.--Senor Freebie (talk) 21:46, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
"Usually this takes the form of a show or network, such as FOX News,[citation needed] pretending to be offering news, when in fact they are simply repeating views offered by a political party.[citation needed] Journalistic ethics require full disclosure of conflicts of interest, and of any interference by other parties with the reportage.[citation needed]"
-It seems completely bizarre to make specific accusations against a specific news organization without claiming *any* sources whatsoever... not even some sort of opinion piece. This person might want to consider looking into Journalistic Ethics themselves... two wrongs don't make a right.
Further potential content[edit]
I'm going to draw up a list of well sourced additions to make. I'll be focusing on the state practice of shilling, where there is information available. I will not be making dubious claims as above and instead focusing on allegations and documented fact where available. I may also change the structure of the page. Do people think that it needs a definition vs. history section? With a history section we could list famous examples and this is pretty typical for a word.
Content I will probably add:

This seems like perhaps a bit of a stretch. * More later ... feel free to put stuff into a list for me that you want added.--Senor Freebie (talk) 22:05, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

How would you go about getting a reference for something that no one would ever put in print or put their name to online? (This is a serious question, and one I've wondered often while browsing wikipedia) --Sephikus (talk) 22:28, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
- I agree with the anon user that first made this comment. I think the words 'plant' and 'stooge' are derisive, not to mention uncited. If they are used, perhaps we should indicate that these 'often called' slang terms do have a derisive connotation. OR drohowa (talk) 14:26, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
Legal / illegal examples[edit]

- Hi there. I think the issue you raise is covered, albeit categorically and not specifically, by the Internet section of this article, and also by the article Sockpuppet (Internet), which is linked from that section. If you have specific ideas to improve either article, they are welcome. There certainly are Wikipedia editors out there whose contributions are sponsored by companies (see this article, for example), much like there are on many forums and online communities throughout the Web. You can read more about how this behavior is addressed in the Wikipedia:Conflict of interest guideline. If you feel there have been conflicts of interest in the conduct of certain editors, you'll find information on that page as to how to report and investigate it.

Business "shill"[edit]
Regarding this edit, which was repeated recently: The issue is not whether the material is factual, or even whether the writing needs improvement. The problem is that the section is entirely unsourced, and I can't independently find any sources that discuss this concept. It also doesn't appear to match the definition of shill, which is "a person who publicly helps a person or organization without disclosing that they have a close relationship with the person or organization." (emphasis mine) What's described in the passage in question is a person who does have a public relationship with the person or organization. It certainly sounds like bad-faith business practices, but I don't see the connection to this article. Ibadibam (talk) 18:21, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
- I agree with your reversions on that. I have no idea the source of that huge description of a business shill, nor have I heard of any examples. But it looks like the contributor should write a letter to a newspaper or get this onto her blog or something. While this may have happened once or twice, and these folks may be called shills, it hardly seems likely that we need to describe it here in such lurid (and generic) detail. Angelina, if you are watching this, why don't you write a letter to your attorney general or trade commission or board or minister of trade or something. I like to saw logs!
