Fort Hunter Liggett was purchased from the estate of William Randolph Hearst in 1940 to train soldiers during World War II and later was used for that purpose during the Korean conflict. The installation was named in honor of Lt. Gen. Hunter Liggett, who served during the Spanish-American War and later as the Chief of Staff for General John J. Pershing during World War I. Gen. Liggett also was the first commander of I Corps. After the Korean conflict the base was used as a training site and controlled by the Army Command at Fort Ord, Calif. The Seventh Infantry was the primary user of the fort until the closure of Fort Ord in 1992 and the deactivation of the Seventh Infantry. The installation was then under the command of Fort Lewis, Washington and utilized by Training and Experimentation Battalion until its disbandment in 1997. In 1995 the installation was taken over by the U.S. Army Reserve Command.
Total Acreage: 165,500 acres, with all but 500 acres available for training purposes. Additionally, Fort Hunter Liggett has use of 95,000 acres of the adjoining Los Padres National Forest for special operations training. Fort Hunter Liggett is the eighth largest Army installation in terms of available training acreage.

I have now been in the truck for several days. my paranoia tells me that england might be setting me up for a theft of the truck. thats why i am written this here. it will not be removed. NO MATTER WHAT.
I am on a dedicated route out of my home state. our contract is rumored to be coming to an end. inbound from my last delivery. one of our fleet teams told me he was just released from dedicated. so I get back and my load is one way to front royal, va. i was like oh no. im not driving teams.
I called mark, The weekend guy and said do not call me I have no answers to any of your questions. I was like why am I one way? I don't want to drive teams and he said just do the delivery and you will find out Tuesday whats happening to you.
I called a so called friend of mine. A co-worker and they said refuse the load. it's a trick. they are going to have you pick up a load inbound to a terminal and have you pick up a student and you'll be over the road teams. I said f*** that. id rather quit. better yet i'll kill myself. I snaped. I lost it. I hung up and these guys were joking. They dont call me back and they knew I was pissed. I dont let anyone step on my back. I stand up for myself no matter what the cost is. even if its my life. we all die and we all need to have morals that we can live with.
So I really do not know what I wrote. I just flipped out via quall comm and asked for anwers. I said I deserve answers but as the other post said all england knows how to do is LIE, LIE, LIE. The way I see it is if my dedicated account ended and now the company is company wide teams. I should be laid off. I can not sleeping in a bouncing truck and I shouldnt be forced to drive teams. so lay me off or fire me.
So now almost a week later. no pay, i have been in custody of a 90,000 truck. watching it. responsible for it. no messages back on the quall comm, no phone calls, and no emails. i sent a email to HR asking to go back on my runs or be laid off.
Must likely I will be in jail or getting shot by a cop. I have my values and I should be paid for watching the truck. I am more then happy to bring a load to the terminal and drop the truck off for a fee and if i get layover for 7 days and counting. I will no longer in life be taking advantage of. I ask that others do as I and be a strong Individual. write dot, fmcsr, and congressman and senators.
By myself I am weak and most likely nuts. United we will be heard. we will be feared. these companys, this government should be afraid of us not the other way around.
thank you chad johnson, president of citizens holding all politicians accountable

Cut your loses now................. CR doesnt care one way or the other next sucker is waiting for that truck now Im surprised if your just not sitting there long enough for your replacement to be on his/her way now.
I would take someone faster that is smart enough to get out to a scam as fast as possible than the one who stays to complete. One is smart the other is just dumb.
I lasted 6 months before they fired me, within a 60days they had enough nerve to send a letter to my house saying I was eligible for rehire lol yea like my memory is that short.
That was back on 2000 sounds like they are even worse now. The short part of story I stiffed em for the loan, collection ppl called for awhile finally told them no matter what I would never pay that loan. I still havent and will never pay it............... Havent heard a word about that loan since.
The main reason why I wont pay other than I was scammed its this all that money they took out of my pay didnt count after I was fired, I still owed the full amount, nice of em wasnt it.lol

Friends in Low Places? Mumbai Terror Trial Nears End in Chicago
One of the more devastating terrorist attacks of the last few years rocked Mumbai in November of 2008: More than 160 people were killed.
Less than three years later, the two men accused of helping plot the attacks have shown up in a Chicago courtroom, of all places. One of the men, David Coleman Headley, has already pleaded guilty to 12 terrorism-related counts in connection with the assault.
During the course of the three-week trial, Headley testified extensively against the defendant, Tahawwur Rana, saying that his old friend supported him in his efforts. (In exchange for his plea and cooperation, prosecutors won't seek the death penalty against Headley.)
In response, Rana's attorneys argued that he simply didn't know what his old friend was up to. Click here for the WSJ story; here for the Chicago Tribune story.
On Tuesday, in her closing argument, Assistant U.S. Attorney Vicki Peters said the two friends, both 50 years old, worked in tandem to plot not only the Mumbai attack, but an attack against a Copenhagen newspaper that published cartoons of the prophet Muhammad. That second attack never took place. "The defense wants to portray Rana as an innocent dupe, that Headley made a fool of him," Peters told jurors. "That's absurd."
Rana's attorney, Patrick Blegen, began his closing argument by placing scrutiny on Headley, a twice-convicted narcotics smuggler who admitted under cross-examination to lying to his wife, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, a federal judge and the Drug Enforcement Administration.
"Nothing is simple when it comes to David Headley," Mr. Blegen said. "He is a lifelong liar, manipulator and con man. Does David Headley think he can fool the FBI? David Headley thinks he can fool anyone."
The trial has drawn international attention because Headley testified that the terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba, of which he was a member, worked in concert with members of Pakistan's main intelligence service.
Pakistani officials have called Mr. Headley a liar and denied any link to the Mumbai attacks.

State Treasurer John Kennedy says the state is looming on the edge of yet another financial crisis. Kennedy says the Capital Outlay Fund is near its debt limit with no room to borrow more for rural road improvements, college facility upkeep and other important building projects. He says the fund could be exhausted within the next four months. The Governor's Office points at Kennedy, saying he indicated they had more borrowing headroom than they actually had. Kennedy says, yes, but he gave them that information before state revenues were revised downward last Fall.
The Ravens were rolling, Beyoncé had just put on a stunning halftime show and then the unprecedented happened: The lights went out in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in the third quarter of Super Bowl XLVII. Usually a beacon on the New Orleans skyline, the Superdome was bathed in darkness when the majority of lights flickered out at 7:36 p.m. The power was off inside the stadium for 34 minutes. The lights started to come back on at 8:02 p.m. and play resumed at 8:10 p.m. The exterior lights flickered on at about 8:20 p.m. and the Superdome took back its place in the New Orleans skyline. New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu said in a statement issued Sunday night. "In the coming days, I expect a full after-action report from all parties involved.
Now that the Super Bowl is over, the rush at the New Orleans International Airport is on. Spokeswoman Michelle Wilcut says all flights are completely booked today. She says they're anticipating about 42,000 passengers today.
The first black chief justice of the Louisiana Supreme Court has been sworn into office. Bernette Johnson replaces the first female justice--Kitty Kimball--who retired last month after four years in the position. Johnson has been sitting on the high court since 1994 and served ten years as a district court judge before being elected to the supreme court.
Cuts to some health care services, brought about by a mid-year revenue shortfall, have kicked in - affecting low-income mothers, at-risk kids and others. State Health & Hospitals Secretary Bruce Greenstein says the cuts are regrettable, but necessary. He says they planned for the lowest negative impacts possible.
A Tangipahoa Parish man is being held without bond today in the parish prison on charges of aggravated rape of children. Authorities say when they served a search warrant on the home of 50-year old Robert Eugene Swan they found child pornography on his computer which indicated he was also manufacturing and distributing child porn. They also say they found video evidence of Swan having sex with children as young as 10 and possible one year old.
The LSU Board of Supervisors has approved a two year extension of head football coach Les Miles' contract that keeps him connected to the university through the 2019 season. Miles annual salary went from just over three and a quarter million dollars to 4.3 million. Athletic Director Joe Alleva told the board Miles hadn't had a raise in five years, even though he deserved one.
LSU officials are sticking with their timetable of having a new university president signed, sealed and delivered within the next four months. LSU had a "short list" of about 30 candidates, but those names aren't being released or even guessed at right now and we probably won't know until a finalist or finalists are agreed upon.
A Baton Rouge businessman is in the running to be the next Secretary of Energy. WBRZ TV in Baton Rouge, is reporting Jim Bernard--founder of the Shaw Group--confirmed to them he is one of the candidates being considered.

Confessed killer Brandon Scott Lavergne, who's serving life for the murders of Lisa Pate in 1999 and Mickey Shunick last year, is asking a judge to release to him the names of grand jury witnesses who testified against him and the transcript of a secretly recorded meeting with his ex-wife. In December, he requested his conviction be tossed out, saying his court-appointed lawyers made critical defense errors. Lavergne pleaded guilty to the two murders last August, in order to avoid getting a death sentence.
Seafood expert, oyster distributor and state Wildlife & Fisheries Commission member Mike Voisin (vwah-zan) has passed away. Voisin died Saturday, about a week after suffering a massive heart attack.

This winter, the frigid weather has engulfed most of the U.S., and Rockford is no exception. Recently, we have faced the record low temperatures. The thoughts on global warming are mind boggling.
Lately, we saw an expedition trapped in Antarctica. Rescue attempts were hampered due to ice and extreme cold weather conditions. Icebreakers from Australia, China, and Russia were stopped by about 6-foot deep pack ice.
A life-threatening polar vortex of freezing Arctic weather has swept across the U.S. Average temperatures worldwide have reportedly fallen marginally. Wish the predictions of global warming could be true this winter!

Tuesday, December 9, 2008. (AP) Three-time champion Nick Faldo stopped playing the Masters when he took over as lead golf analyst for CBS Sports. After watching the last two from the booth, he doesn't have any doubt he made the right choice.
"It's a fear factor, that place," Faldo said.
In comments that probably won't be repeated from the CBS tower during the Masters, Faldo lamented how difficult Augusta National has become, suggesting that it has caused even the most skilled players to become conservative with a smaller chance of being rewarded.
"If you don't have an opportunity to reward yourself, it switches off the best players," he said last week at the Father-Son Championship in Orlando, Fla. "They've got the flair and the skills to go for it, but going for it is suicide."
Faldo won in consecutive playoffs in 1989 and 1990, but his third green jacket was the most memorable. Trailing by six shots to Greg Norman, he closed with a 5-under 67 and won by five shots when Norman shot 78.
"That was the best of the weekend," Faldo said of his 67. "Yeah, that's what you really are looking for. Augusta was always the one where ... you can shoot your 65. If you play really well, you're shooting 3 and 4 under. You get rewarded. That's what you got to be careful of. Bottom line is you got to reward the guys. You've got to be given the opportunity to hit career shots."
The Masters record book shows Faldo withdrew in his final Masters in 2006, although he recalls a second-round score of about 77. What he remembers most is standing on the ninth fairway and trying to figure out how to land it on the green with a 3-iron.
"When you're standing there thinking, 'I can't hit that green. Where do I now look?' ... That's when I thought, 'I'm more than happy now to be a CBS man,'" he said.

Paul James, 46, is global brand leader of St Regis Hotels and Resorts, and the Luxury Collection of hotels. He is responsible for development and guest experience in Starwood's 150 high-end hotels.
Jacket: Harvie and Hudson
I like the cut of Savile Row's Gieves & Hawkes, where I had my first bespoke suit made, but I got this seersucker jacket from Harvie and Hudson on Jermyn Street last May for the St Regis polo cup. I think seersucker is today's take on the tradition of dressing up.
. . .
Pocket square: House of Waris
This is burgundy and blue silk with a little fleur-de-lys crest. It helps transform a traditional jacket into something more contemporary.
. . .
Shirt: Stock House Il Giglio
I was in Florence when we were opening the St Regis there and I ran out of shirts. The concierge rang this place on a street behind the Piazza d'Ognissanti. They sell shirts that are beautifully made, fit like they were tailored for me and only cost between €50 and €70.
Stock House Il Giglio, Via Borgo Ognissanti 86
. . .
Cufflinks: Button and Bean
My wife had these made. They're silver double-edged disks with the first drawing my son did of an alien, and they go with me everywhere.
. . .
Trousers: Barba
The Italians taught me to dress like an Englishman. When I got to Italy I learnt about fabrics, tailoring and English shoes. This store in Venice is run by one guy with an excellent eye. When I go back to Venice for the reopening of our Gritti Palace hotel, I will buy more. They are smart enough for work but not the dreaded chino.
. . .
Socks: Harvie and Hudson
The luxury hotel world in Europe is formal but I hate black socks. These are simple red cotton, and bring everything together.
. . .
Watch: Dunhill
This Dunhill Facet is 15 years old, bought with my first big bonus.
. . .
Shoes: Tricker's
These brown brogues must be over a decade old, and have been resoled a few times. The first thing my old boss told me was to buy a really good pair of shoes you can't afford. I went to Jones Bootmaker in Windsor and bought a pair of classic English brogues and it got me into the habit. Thanks, Mr Wolf.
. . .
Glasses: Pro-design
They're Danish and from Disrespectacles in New York.

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — The Vermont Senate is supporting a state board's ruling that pets don't belong in barber shops and beauty parlors.
In a 14-13 vote, the Senate on recently defeated an amendment by Democratic Sen. Richard Sears that would have allowed animals in hair-cutting establishments.
Sears says he pushed for the measure after a state inspector cited Bennington-area businesses for allowing pets on the premises. The board found pets on the premises could be unsanitary, or possibly bite someone. Sears says the risks are low.
The measure failed after Sen. Anthony Pollina of Washington County argued that regulatory boards should be allowed to make such decisions without interference by lawmakers.
An exception is made for service animals like seeing-eye dogs, which are allowed in commercial establishments under the Americans With Disabilities Act.

UPDATE: "The Flash" Hasn't Cast Savitar, Says Berlanti
TV, Comic Books
I spent an enjoyable Saturday at the Massachusetts Independent Comics Expo, a.k.a. MICE, last week, and I came away very impressed with the quality of the work on display. This was MICE's biggest year so far, with three rooms and some corridors of the Lesley College building in Porter Square filled with table after table of hand-crafted comics. For much of the day, the place was packed.
People don't think of Boston as a comics town, like Portland or Brooklyn, but there's a lot of talent here, much of it gathered under the aegis of the Boston Comics Roundtable; in addition, a number of the artists had come from New York, Rhode Island and Maine. Here's a sample of some of the minicomics I picked up.
By far the standout minicomic of the show was The Potter's Pet, by Braden D. Lamb and Shelli Paroline. The story feels like a traditional folk tale, although I don't think it is; it's about a potter in a Moroccan-style marketplace who makes a robot, then keeps re-customizing it to please his customers. The story is well told and the art is professional quality, which is not surprising as Paroline has been doing professional work for some time now, including the art for several of BOOM! Studios' Muppet Show comics. In The Potter's Pet, she carries the Moroccan theme through in the panels, which echo the shapes of Islamic architecture. I would say it's the best $5 I spent at the show, but the book sold out before I could get a copy and I had to borrow it from a friend. I hope they make more.

Craig Carlos-Valentino had long carried the burden of being the sole breadwinner for his family, holding jobs that kept him away for days at a time.
It was too expensive for him to commute from his Antioch home to his two jobs as a nightclub security guard in San Francisco, so from Thursdays to Saturdays he slept in his car between shifts. Yet, he persevered.
Then came recent marital struggles with his wife of 20 years. Relatives said those struggles launched a meltdown Thursday in which he threatened to blow himself up on the Bay Bridge, stalemated police and crippled the span for hours before he surrendered peacefully.
Carlos-Valentino, 51, was arrested after an episode that played out minute by minute on TV news channels Thursday morning as he halted Bay Bridge traffic, claiming to have a pipe bomb and, later, threatening to plunge into the water hundreds of feet below.
His sister, Viviana Carlos, of Sacramento, said that just minutes before the standoff he sent a text message written in the past tense to friends and family, saying he had committed suicide because he believed his wife had an affair.
"I called him up, and he answered. I didn't know yet he was on the bridge. He said, 'I've had enough. I just want to be with Mother,' " Carlos said, explaining that their mother had died in recent years.
"Then I get a breaking-news text. I said, 'Oh, it can't be,' and turned the TV on. Then he walked out (of the SUV), and I knew it was him."
Commuters already on the bridge were trapped after the California Highway Patrol shut down traffic just west of Treasure Island and began diverting San Francisco-bound motorists away from the toll plaza in Oakland. There would be at least two hours of uncertainty and frustration before they were allowed to move along and traffic -- fortuitously lighter because of the Veterans Day holiday -- was given regular access to the bridge.
Authorities said that Carlos-Valentino, a father of eight, was crossing the bridge in his SUV with his 15-year-old daughter just before 7 a.m. when he called 911, saying he had a gun, and planned to detonate a pipe bomb on the bridge. He also called a local radio station with the same message.
After passing through the Treasure Island tunnel, he pulled over. Within minutes, patrol cars were in tow and sealed off the morning commute. Carlos-Valentino could be seen from television news helicopters talking on a cell phone, mostly to the police negotiators trying to persuade him to surrender, but also at least once to his sister.
At some point after Carlos-Valentino hung up on his sister and got a call from one of his adult daughters pleading with him to surrender, he climbed over the bridge railing and threatened to jump, authorities said. By then, the teenage daughter who had been riding with him had safely gotten out of the vehicle and was with police.
About 8 a.m., negotiators coaxed Carlos-Valentino back onto the roadway and into a waiting squad car. The CHP later said that he was apologetic and remorseful for what he had done and admitted that the weapon he professed to be carrying was a pellet gun he had tossed off the bridge.
"He was very unstable," said CHP Sgt. Trent Cross. "We were dealing with someone who's very angry "... because of issues going on in his personal life. But he didn't jump off the bridge, and we're very fortunate for that."
Carlos-Valentino was arrested on suspicion of brandishing a weapon and making criminal threats. His wife took custody of their daughter, and they were referred to a crisis counselor, said CHP Officer Shawn Chase. He added that Antioch police served a protective order to Carlos-Valentino prohibiting contact with his wife and 15-year-old daughter.
The San Francisco District Attorney's Office did not immediately return calls Thursday regarding when charges may be filed.
The San Francisco Bomb Squad examined his SUV after police drove Carlos-Valentino away and found no evidence of explosives. They had been skeptical of the claim, enough to allow traffic on the eastbound lower deck of the Bay Bridge to continue flowing uninterrupted.
"There wasn't enough of a credible threat from an explosives standpoint" to warrant shutting down the countercommute, Cross said.
Friends and relatives said Carlos-Valentino, who had worked in the past as both an emergency first-responder and in civilian police work, had had no run-ins with the law before Thursday's episode.
Ultimately, his life was a common story of someone struggling to make ends meet in a dour economy, his sister said.
"He worked two jobs, even though he didn't want to be so far from his family. It was the only thing he could find," Viviana Carlos said. "He was in a lot of pain and reached a breaking point."
Other friends said the pipe bomb claim, outlandish as it was, is a sign that Carlos-Valentino was desperate for attention to his troubles. His sister agreed.
"He cried out for help, but he didn't do it in the right way," she said. "I hope he gets the help he needs now."

1995 Jaguar XJ6 X300 4.0 from North America
Nothing. Just a few cosmetic issues.
General Comments:
I've owned this car for about 3 weeks car now.
When I first drove it, it felt like I was sitting on a booster seat, but it was just a matter of getting used to it.
One of the reasons I bought this car was because they're not common and look nice. It turns a lot of heads. Sometimes I feel embarrassed when people stare...
I paid 2650 for this car, and so far, I'm very happy with it. Originally, I was looking to buy a '98 Infiniti Q45, but they were too expensive, and I read a lot of bad reviews on the Jaguar in general, but I did my research and found that the '95-97 models were reliable, especially the V6 engines, so I decided to buy one of these.
The interior in general could have been better built. The headliner is sagging a bit. The radio is all worn out. The clock doesn't work. I know the car is 15 years old, but I just feel like it should hold up better.
The engine is strong and feels like a V8.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
Review Date: 25th March, 2010
15th Apr 2010, 15:34
I too have had to deal with the dead clock and the headliner. But it is an awesome car, beautiful interior, and the best ride of any car I've had.. (MB280se and Lincoln MarkV included).. HOWEVER, if you have a V6 in that car of yours, it's NOT a JAG. It's gonna be a straight 6 or a 12 in your year.
24th Apr 2010, 01:40
Yes my car is the straight 6 engine. I just didn't specify it. It also has an XJR interior with the bone color. I really like it.
I've owned a 94 Infinti Q45, a 2000 Lincoln LS and a 2001 Lincoln Continental. While they were all nice, the Jaguar has a personality all its own.

Okay, I admit it. I was cheering for Spain in the World Cup final for the simple reason that Spain is a Catholic country and the Netherlands is a Calvinist country. I exchanged emails about this with a Unitarian friend who was cheering for Holland on the grounds that their victory would be a victory for free-thinking over medievalism - his words. I was delighted that Spain and medievalism won. Of course, I also wish that the winds had been favorable for the Armada!

ASHLAND — Lynn Kennedy justifiably went back to the well with the announcement of two early signings to the Southern Oregon University women's basketball team Monday.
The success that the ninth-year Raider head coach has had recruiting in his home state of Washington led him to locking up high school seniors Tessa Vanderpool, a 5-foot-8 guard from Vancouver, and Amber Hagar, a 6-2 post from Everett, for the 2014-15 season.
Eight of the 16 players on SOU's current 7-1 squad are also Washington products.
Vanderpool set the single-season assist record as a junior last season at Union High School, which she led to an 18-9 record and the Class 4A regionals.
Hagar helped Everett High to a 13-11 record and a 3A District 1 championship during the 2012-13 season with averages of six points and five rebounds.
SOU has only two seniors and 10 freshmen and sophomores on the current roster.
MEISTER HONORED — Southern Oregon sophomore post Carly Meister was named the Cascade Conference women's basketball player of the week Monday for the second time this month, the league office announced.
The 6-foot-2 Meister averaged 21 points and 15.5 rebounds in two games over the weekend at Oregon Tech's Midland Empire Classic.

CAIRO (AP) -- A young leader of Egypt's anti-government protesters, newly released from detention, joined a massive crowd in Cairo's Tahrir Square for the first time Tuesday and was greeted with cheers, whistling and thunderous applause when he declared: "We will not abandon our demand and that is the departure of the regime."
Many in the crowd said they were inspired by Wael Ghonim, the 30-year-old Google Inc. marketing manager who was a key organizer of the online campaign that sparked the first protest on Jan. 25 to demand the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak. Straight from his release from 12 days of detention, Ghonim gave an emotionally charged television interview Monday night where he sobbed over those who have been killed in two weeks of clashes and insisted, "We love Egypt ... and we have rights."
Ghonim arrived in the square when it was packed shoulder-to-shoulder, a crowd comparable in size to the biggest demonstration so far that drew a quarter-million people. He spoke softly and briefly to the huge crowd from a stage and began by offering his condolences to the families of those killed.
"I'm not a hero but those who were martyred are the heroes," he said and then broke into a chant of "Mubarak, leave, leave." When he finished, the crowd erupted in cheering, whistling and deafening applause.
Ghonim has emerged as a rallying point for protesters, who reject a group of traditional Egyptian opposition groups that have met with the government amid the most sweeping concessions the regime has made in its three decades in power. Vice President Omar Suleiman on Tuesday made a new gesture, declaring a panel of judges and scholars to recommend constitutional changes within a month.
The mostly youthful protesters insist that no concessions will do unless Mubarak steps down. But the protests, which began when Ghonim and other activists used the Internet to mobilize people to the streets, have lacked a representative voice. That has raised worries the regime could try to fragment the movement or traditional parties try to hijack it.
In his first television interview Monday night on Egypt's private Dream satellite station, Ghonim said the protests turned from "the revolution of the Internet youth ... to the revolution of all Egypt."
He struck a modest and emotional tone, saying he respected many government officials -- even some of those who interrogated him in detention -- but the Egyptians wanted their rights. He repeated over and over, "We are not traitors." When the hostess of the show showed pictures of young men killed in the protests, Ghonim slumped in sobs and left the interview table.

A Social Roadmap
September 29, 2013
I don't subscribe to the approach of 'infographics for the sake of infographics', but if a graphic truly achieves its purpose of organising complex information into something useful, then great.
Exhibit A, social media. Even super geeks can't keep up with the ever growing galaxy of social sites, let alone their capabilities.
The Conversation Prism infographic is a visual map of the entire social media landscape, created by Brian Solis and visualised by JESS3. This is version 4.0 and forms part of an ongoing study in digital ethnography that tracks dominant and promising social networks and organizes them by how they're used in everyday life.

D7000 disappearing images on card
I have been shooting with the D7000 for a couple of weeks and have had problems with disappearing images on two occasions. The lastest occurrence was last night. I've also seen a couple of other people report the same problem on DP Review
I'm shooting with a Sandisk (30mb) 16gb card which have used for thousands of images on my D300s without incident. During the shoot I switched lens and when I got home none of the images taken with the first lens showed up on the card. I had reviewed them while shooting and they showed up fine. I went out today and tried the recreate the problem by switching the lens and everything worked just fine.
I was able to recover the images with Image Rescue but I'm not looking forward to doing this on a regular basis. I'm curious about anyone else that may have experienced this problem.

The first thing to remember in my reply is that I am VERY new to digital cameras in general and have only had my D7000 about two weeks now.
I have discovered that when I brought all of my images into LR 3 from the past few days of shooting I was missing a few images.
Here is how I knew this. I have set both SD cards up to be duplicates of each other...i.e. one card is a backup.
In LR 3 I see the duplicates and realized that this may be a pain to work with. I began to delete the duplicates and then discovered that there were 3 shots from about 34 that did not have a duplicate.
I do not know if that is the same problem you are describing. Just thought I would share that with you.

Hmmm. I use Sandisk 30mb/s 4gb cards and have taken thousands of pictures with them. The other day I was capturing in jpeg (unusual for me) and there were about 10-12 pictures that could not be read by CNX2, LR3 or PSP12. I've never had any dissappear.

I do have a bit of experience in matters digital, so I'd like to ask if the missing files are RAW or JPEG or both?
Do you read the SD card directly from the application (NX2, LR, etc.), or do you first copy the contents of the card to a folder on your computer?
If you use a card reader, have you tried a different one?
Lastly, are these cards well-worn or fairly new? Do you format the cards after each transfer to the computer?
For clarity, I always follow the same procedures in my workflow:
1. New cards always get formatted by camera.
2. Use card reader to connect to computer, then copy all images to an appropriate folder on my computer.
3. Back up the images on computer to a network storage device, before I do any editing.
4. Put card back in camera, and format.
5. First sign of poor/slow performance from SD, CF card or missing files, trash card and replace.
I'm going on over 30 years of experience as a systems programmer/engineer. I have found that flash memory cards to not have the same level of error correction/recovery that computer HD's and other storage forms have. I never completely trust these cards, so I backup to computer often, and never put all of my eggs in one basket, i.e., never use much above 8GB cards.
Hope this helps.

by Ian McEwan
Atonement Resources
Webcentral for all things McEwan-y. Lists of books, bibliography and criticism, a calendar showing when Mr. McEwan will appear at a book signing near you—plus a really earnest, rugged author photo that is earnest and rugged even by the standards of author photos.
Movie or TV Productions
The 2007 movie is a condensed but mostly faithful adaptation. A couple things are changed, and some bits are left out—we don't really hear about Jackson's bed wetting, for example, and Briony's motives for accusing Robbie are much less clear than they are in the book. But much of the dialogue is taken straight from the page, and it's clear director Joe Wright tried to get the spirit of the book whenever he could.
We missed the pig chase, though.
Articles and Interviews
A 2002 interview by the Guardian newspaper, focusing on McEwan's historical research for Atonement. As a bonus, see McEwan get all huffy when the interviewer tells him his books aren't very emotional. (How could you not cry at the end of Atonement? Sheesh.)
Geoff Dyer gives an enthusiastic review of Atonement in the Guardian. But if you had trouble getting into the novel, it's nice to know that Dyer doesn't think it's your fault.
This, on the other hand, is an honest-to-goodness takedown, arguing that McEwan is overrated and too wedded to scare moments and pulp shocks. It discusses his work as a whole, but Atonement gets mentioned.
An enthusiastic review of Atonement in the New York Times which compares and contrasts it with McEwan's earlier more gruesome novels.
A scholarly essay focusing on the self-referential narrative in Atonement, and explaining why people who don't like it are wrong, wrong, wrong, dagnabit.
McEwan talks about why Briony changed what really happened. This is the one video you should watch, if you can only watch one of these videos.
Like the title says, Ian McEwan tells you what to do to write like Ian McEwan. (Creative writing programs can be useful, he says—but take them in moderation.) Filled with high quality, low key snark.
A video interview with McEwan from 2012 where he talks about the enjoyment he gets from writing.
McEwan gives a lecture about helping his son with an essay on his novel… and finding out that the English teacher didn't agree with his interpretation.
This is the original fountain that was copied to make the fountain in the Tallises' garden. So you can look at this and imagine Cecilia and Robbie dropping the vase in and startling the big stone fish. It's not our fault if the next thing you imagine is Cecilia getting naked.
An image of men awaiting evacuation at Bray-Dunes near Dunkirk in 1940.
One of the best parts of the film version of Atonement is the design of Cecilia's green dress. Seriously.
