Update: iPod's Dirty Secret Secret Revealed
Dave Shroeder has emailed us in his own words about the events that took place between the Neistat brothers and himself. Click 'Read more' to read the letter.
According to Dave Shroeder, the Neistat brothers (producers of the iPod's Dirty Secret movie) had no intent on letting people know that there were solutions available for replacing the battery in iPods. Dave had provided the Neistat brothers with a mirror (server space) for their website, ipodsdirtysecret.com, to host their now infamous movie. Dave did this with one condition, that they place a link to Apple's iPod Battery Service along with the movie. At first the Neistat brothers agreed, but then never posted a link to Apple's website. Dave has since removed the mirror to the website and has posted a text file containing the email conversations that took place between Dave and Casey Neistat. Dave told us, "Please spread the word on these brothers who'd rather spread lies than the truth."
Letter to iLounge from Dave Shroeder.
I offered to mirror their video after their original webhost apparently pulled out, with one condition: that they link to, or otherwise inform users about, Apple's official $99 iPod battery replacement, since the video, as it stands, is incorrect: the iPod's battery is replaceable, and, on top of it, there's an official Apple program for $99.
They agreed to provide this information, and said they had no problem telling users how to solve the problem. I, in turn, provided webspace and bandwidth for them. The bottom line: after two days of lies and false starts, and milking my institution's generosity by providing almost 100,000 downloads and 0.7 terabytes of data transfer, they NEVER posted any information about how to solve the problem that they promised to post. Their agenda seems clear, and that's sensationalism, melodrama, and attention.
Before the mirror offer, I sent them two email messages indicating that there is now an official Apple battery replacement program, not to mention third party options, and that it would seem that if their purpose is to bring this to light, they should at least inform people of the solution as well…neither received a response. The first response was to my offer to mirror, and they just lied and stole the whole time, even netting another web provider over 50,000 ad views using OUR bandwidth. Nice.

I started using Mustela with the facial cleansing wipes and was so impressed that I decided to try other products. Every once in a while I have to switch up my regular moisturizer (usually when the season changes). I have to say that I love this moisturizer. I like to layer it over my favorite serum. It's etremely gentle, absorbs quickly, and is nourishing. The $10.50 price makes this an amazing effective find.

Withholding rates for lump-sum payments
Combine all lump-sum payments that you have paid or expect to pay in the calendar year when determining the rate to use.
Use the following lump-sum withholding rates to deduct income tax:
- 10% (5% for Quebec) on amounts up to and including $5,000;
- 20% (10% for Quebec) on amounts over $5,000 up to and including $15,000; and
- 30% (15% for Quebec) on amounts over $15,000.
The above rates are a blend of federal and provincial. The Quebec rates shown are only federal. For more information on Quebec's rates, see Guide TP-1015.G-V, Guide for Employers: Source Deductions and Contributions.
Do not deduct CPP contributions or EI premiums from retiring allowances.
Recipients may have to pay extra tax on these amounts when they file their income tax and benefit returns. To avoid this situation, if a recipient requests it, you can:
- calculate the annual tax to deduct from the recipient's yearly remuneration, including the lump-sum payment. For more information, see "Step-by-step calculation of tax deductions" section in PublicationT4032, Payroll Deductions Tables of your province or territory;
- calculate the annual tax to deduct from the recipient's yearly remuneration, not including the lump-sum payment; and
- subtract the second amount from the first amount.
The result is the amount you deduct from the lump-sum payment if the recipient requests it.

My A/C works very well in the morning, but the compressor will not run in the afternoon.
Cooling fans were recently inconsistant & eventually inoperable; Mitsu mech (by phone) suggested a possible relation. Replaced fan assy this weekend, but problem persist.
When it cools, it cools real well. The only consistancy I've found so far is the time of day. Pretty hot afternoons here recently. Don't see how that would effect the system. Fault persist even when engine has been off & is 'cooled'.
A/C intermittently fails on 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
My A/C works very well in the morning, but the compressor will not run in the afternoon.
1 answer
R 134 has a fairly high expansion rate. What is most likely occurring is, your freon level is filled slightly over normal capacity. when it's cool outside, the system runs normally but when the temp. climbs in the afternoon, the freon expands above the acceptable pressure level, tripping the high pressure switch to disable the compressor. Have a professional remove 1/4 lb. at a time during the hottest part of the day till system runs normally. if freon level is OK, you may have a partial blockage in the system causing pressure build up in the same manner. Good luck.

On Monday, Fruita Little League Softball won the Colorado State Championship and willk advance to the Southwestern Regional Tournament held in Waco, TX.
The Fruita All Stars, made up of girls ages 11 and 12, defeated a team from Pueblo 10-4 to capture the State Title.
Now they're focusing on the regional tournament.
Anyone who's watched this team this year can tell you, they can really swing a bat.
If they want to advance in the tournament, they're going to have to hit the ball well against some of the best teams in the west.
Heading to Waco is no easy thing, and it's certainly not cheap.
The team is holding a final fundraiser on Saturday, July 20th at the farmer's market in Fruita, in help with the costs.
The team will be serving up barbeque and accepting donation from 8:30AM to 12:30PM.

First, I would like to congratulate the author of this plugin. it's clean, simple and easy to use, really a very very good plugin.
I have a very high traffic wordpress site with about a millon pageviews per day, my setup is to usually cache everything in the frontend and use reverse proxies to my wordpress install which used APC and memcached, all in all, performance is really really good.
I noticed after installing this plugin server load spiked dramatically and while checking the logs noticed hundreds of requests like this:
GET /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=yop_poll_load_js&id=2&_wpnonce=f2c2cda666&ver=3.9
GET /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=yop_poll_load_css&id=2&_wpnonce=d39b7f3962&ver=3.9
Why is the CSS and JS loaded dynamically with each request via ajax? it's expensive and does not scale well... or am I missing something obvious?

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) -- A Grand Rapids teenager was arraigned in his hospital bed on charges of robbing a pizza deliveryman at gunpoint.
Chad Damar-Marquis Brown is recovering after being shot by police following the Friday night robbery attempt. The 17-year-old was arraigned yesterday on armed robbery and felony firearms charges at Spectrum Health Butterworth Hospital.
Police say in a statement that a warrant for armed robbery has been issued against an alleged 16-year-old accomplice. He's being held in the Kent County Juvenile Detention Center and is expected to be charged as an adult at his arraignment today.
The two officers involved in the arrest and shooting have been placed on paid leave.

Quality Price Value
As far as machining goes, I work part time in a CNC machine shop and was able to see some flaws. One of my threaded holes that are used to bolt the prop arm onto the body had no threads. Easy fix for me, ill just take it to work and tap it, but others might find something like this a hassle if they need to send it back for a replacement. Also, the supplied allen head wrench is a poor fit to the supplied hex head screws. The wrench is loose and if you try to tighten the screws too much they will strip VERY EASILY. Either go light and use some lock tight or find a wrench from your home set that fits better.
Another small flaw was I noticed was the chamfers around the edges of the parts (rounded edges around the screw holes etc.) are sometimes excessively big or non existent.
Minor details, I just didnt expect any of these flaws when paying a premium price for a frame. Maybe I'm just overly picky and notice these things since I work in this type of field, but regardless none of these defects should have any effect on performance.
Just thought I'd give a detailed review so people knew what to expect! All things considered, I'm super happy with the frame kit and cant wait to try it out! Thanks for a sweet kit FPV (Posted on 2/23/2013)

Equal Protection
Equal Protection Terms
Get down with the lingo.
Alexander V. Holmes County Board Of EducationIn this 1969 case, the United States Supreme Court rejected a request from the Justice and Heath, Education, and Welfare Departments that 33 Mississippi school districts be allowed to delay submission of their desegregation plans. In the majority opinion, Justice Hugo Black wrote that "'all deliberate speed' has turned out to be only a soft euphemism for delay." He therefore stated that "there is no longer the slightest excuse, reason, or justification for further postponement of the time when every public school system in the United States will be a unitary one, receiving and teaching students without discrimination on the basis of their race or color."5
Bowers V. HardwickIn this 1986 case, the United States Supreme Court ruled that Georgia's anti-sodomy laws did not violate the Fourteenth Amendment. In a concurring opinion written by Warren Burger, the Justice noted that "condemnation of [homosexual activity] is firmly rooted in Judeo-Christian moral and ethical standards." He cited the eighteenth-century legal scholar, William Blackstone, in support. "Blackstone described 'the infamous crime against nature' as an offense of 'deeper malignity' than rape, a heinous act 'the very mention of which is a disgrace to human nature,' and 'a crime not fit to be named.'6
Bradwell V. IllinoisIn this 1873 case, the United States Supreme Court upheld an Illinois law denying women the right to practice law because "the civil law, as well as nature itself, has always recognized a wide difference in the respective spheres and destinies of man and woman."7
Brown V. Board Of Education, Topeka, KansasIn this 1954 case, the United States Supreme Court reversed the 1896 decision in Plessy v. Ferguson and ordered the integration of America's schools with "all deliberate speed." Chief Justice Earl Warren wrote that the doctrine of separate but equal had no place in education as "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal." Drawing upon psychological studies as well as legal principles, Warren argued that separating black children "from others of similar age and qualifications solely because of their race generates a feeling of inferiority as to their status in the community that may affect their hearts and minds in a way unlikely ever to be undone." Warren held that the obligation of the Court to redress this inequity was all the greater because the detrimental impact of segregation was "greater when it has the sanction of the law, for the policy of separating the races is usually interpreted as denoting the inferiority of the negro group."8
City Of Richmond V. J.A. Croson CompanyIn this 1989 case, the United States Supreme Court struck down a municipal program that set aside 30% of all public works contracts for minority businesses. As in Wygant v. Jackson Board of Education, the Court found inadequate proof of specific, local discrimination to warrant the use of racial classifications. It insisted that affirmative action programs employing racial classifications were permissible, but only when constructed as a remedy for proven and specific discrimination in the past.
Craig V. BorenIn this 1976 case, the United States Supreme Court held that an Oklahoma statute, which set different legal drinking ages for men and women, violated the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The ruling set an "intermediate" standard for judicial scrutiny of laws incorporating gender classifications. Justice William J. Brennan, in the majority opinion, stated that "classifications by gender must serve important governmental objectives and must be substantially related to achievement of those objectives."9
Equal Protection ClauseThis is part of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution ratified in 1868. It states that "no state shall . . . deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." While proposed after the Civil War to protect the recently freed slaves, the use of the phrase "any person" within the clause has been interpreted to guarantee a certain degree of protection to all persons.
Fullilove V. KlutznickIn this 1980 case, the United States Supreme Court upheld a federal law requiring that ten percent of all public works contracts be awarded to minority owned businesses.
Goodridge V. Department Of Public HealthIn this 2003 case, the Massachusetts State Supreme Court ruled that state statutes barring same-sex marriage were in violation of the equal protection and due process clauses of the state constitution. The court granted the state legislature 180 days to bring state marriage statutes into line with this ruling. Members of the state senate subsequently attempted to amend the state constitution to ban gay marriage, but they failed.
Gratz V. Bollinger And Grutter V. BollingerIn these 2003 cases involving the University of Michigan's undergraduate and law school admissions policies, respectively, the United States Supreme Court served notice that affirmative action programs employing racial classifications would be subject to close scrutiny by the Court. If racial classifications were applied too heavily, as was the case with Michigan's undergraduate admissions policies, according to the Court, they would be struck down. If race was used more carefully along with many other factors in order to achieve diversity, as was the case with the law school admissions program, the Court would accept it. But, added Justice Sandra O'Connor, the Court's support for even these more carefully structured programs was limited. Within a generation, she suggested, the use of these sorts of racial classifications would not be acceptable to the Court.
Green V. School Board Of New Kent CountyIn this 1968 case, the United States Supreme Court struck down the "freedom of choice" school integration plan of this Virginia district. Noting that the freedom to choose could easily result in the perpetuation of traditional attendance patterns, the Court held that district integration plans must promise to achieve the actual objective of integration. School integration could not be left to chance, the Court said, and districts must "come forward with a plan that promises realistically to work, and promises realistically to work now."10
Hoyt V. FloridaIn this 1961 case, the United States Supreme Court upheld a Florida law that allowed women to opt out of jury service because "despite the enlightened emancipation of women . . . woman is still regarded as the center of home and family life."11
In this 1973 case, the United States Supreme Court held that evidence of discriminatory action in one part of the district justified a conclusion of district-wide discriminatory practice warranting district-wide judicial intervention. Moreover, the Court argued that the burden lies with the district to prove otherwise.
Lawrence V. TexasIn this 2003 case, the United States Supreme Court struck down the state's "Homosexual Conduct" law. The majority opinion written by Justice Anthony Kennedy relied primarily upon the rational basis test—that is, the Court found "no legitimate state interest" in this law so directly impacting one classification of people. But portions of the opinion that referenced a more fundamental right to privacy and marriage suggested to some that the ruling opened the door to future judicial support for gay marriage. After noting the "constitutional protection to personal decisions relating to marriage, procreation, contraception, family relationships, child rearing, and education," Kennedy added, "persons in a homosexual relationship may seek autonomy for these purposes, just as heterosexuals do."12
Lindsley V. Natural Carbonic Gas CompanyIn this 1911 case involving New York state's regulatory powers over a privately-owned gas company, the United States Supreme Court established a still-used test for assessing the constitutionality of state laws that employ classifications—that is, laws that treat different people or entities differently. The "Lindsley test" states that if the classification has a "reasonable basis" and is not "purely arbitrary," and "if any state of facts reasonably can be conceived that would sustain it," the use of a classification does not violate the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. In addition, parties challenging the fairness of such a law bear the burden of proving that it "does not rest upon any reasonable basis, but is essentially arbitrary."13
Loving V. VirginiaIn this 1967 case, the United States Supreme Court held that states cannot ban interracial marriage since "the freedom to marry has long been recognized as one of the vital personal rights essential to the orderly pursuit of happiness by free men."14
In this 1967 case, the United States Supreme Court ruled that Virginia's ban on interracial marriage violated the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.

Basketball without Borders is the NBA and FIBA's global basketball development program that uses the sport to create positive social change in the areas of education, health and wellness. The 2009 camps was held in Beijing, China, Mexico City, Mexico and Johannesburg, South Africa and will feature NBA players and coaches training the top players ages 19 and under from each country. Ainge will join players Samuel Dalembert (Philadelphia 76ers), Willie Green (Philadelphia 76ers), Al Horford (Atlanta Hawks), and Eduardo Najera (NJ Nets) and coaches Kenny Atkinson (NY Knicks), Kelvin Sampson (Milwaukee Bucks) and Jin 2008. Ainge, who spent two years in the Dominican Republic, is fluent in Spanish.
Thursday, August 6:
Basketball without Borders Americas 2009 began today in Mexico City with a visit to the Casa YMCA para Menores Metropolitanos (YMCA Home for Urban Youth). Casa YMCA has served orphaned, abandoned, abused and street children since 1992 with the mission to provide them with an education and a safe place to live. The children of Casa YMCA greeted the NBA players and coaches by singing the traditional Mexican song El Cielito Lindo. Eager to show their home off, the children led the NBA group on a tour of the facility showcasing their dorms, classrooms and workshop where they create arts and crafts. The group gathered for a ribbon cutting for the new computer center equipped with six computers donated by Hewlett Packard (HP). Afterwards the players and coaches played traditional Mexican board games with the children, tested out the new computers and even shot hoops in the courtyard. After the community event, it was time to head to the gym to tip-off the basketball action. The campers received their Nike gear before facing off against each other in the EA Sports Gaming Tournament. Brazilian camper Olintho Pereira Silva faced NBA Player Willie Green in the final, but Green was victorious, showing he is just as good at virtual basketball as he is on the hardwood. Camp Director Gersson Rosas and Green then met with the campers to provide a camp overview and cover the rules for the next four days. The NBA coaches had their first look at the camper talent during the evaluation scrimmages in the afternoon. Coaches drafted their teams tonight and will coach those teams for the duration of the camp. NBA players, coaches, staff and BWB marketing partners came together at the end of the day to celebrate the start of the camp at a Welcome Reception recognizing all the key people that were integral in planning this year's camp.

Do not contact me except by email or contact employer, friends, aquaintences, family, or contact numbers. That this was to serve as written notification that any notification that authorized ACH withdrawals from my bank account and any agreement of wage assignment were revoked. As receipt of this communication all forms of collection activity cease until debt has been validated in accordance with the Fair Debt Collections Practice Act. If their office provided all requested information within 30 days I would proceed forward with all actions that is deemed necessary or appropriate. If they failed to provide the information to validate this request within 30 days from receipt of this communication, all references to this account must be deleted from my credit files and a copy of such deletion be forwarded to me immediately.
Email was sent on January 9, 2013 with no reply, so it was repeated on January 116, 2013 which I got a reply the same day that it had been received. Meanwhile, I had other debts mounting that I have been trying to catch up for the last 7 months and haven't succeeded. Because of there withdrawals my debts owed amount to $2000 in bank fees and unpaid bills.
Timothy h*o, President responded first with a copy of the contract I signed that I wasn't aware of giving any authorization to do ACH withdrawals from my bank account. Also provided by him was statements on my account. This was on January 18, 2013, but didn't fulfil all requested information. This came from Enova International of 200 W Jackson Blvd, Chicago, Il 60606. The address on the statements were PO Box 643990, Cincinati, Ohio 42564- 3990 with the caption at the top "Make Anyday Payday" with the name CashNetUSA.
The 2nd to respond came from ENOVA, 200 W Jackson Blvd, Suite 500, Chicago, Il 60606 from someone called Season Wolfe with the words "Compliance/Legal under his name. The letter that came with the material had CashNetUSA.com on the stationary with 773-357-3634, firstname.lastname@example.com, and Fax: 312-212-1657. Enclosed was a Business License for Kansas, Office of the State Bank Commision, Consumer and Morgage Lending Division, Supervised Loan License. Also a copy of all my statements and the contract was included which was sent onJanuary 29, 2013.
If the statements said Payday on them then this is not an Open-End line of Credit, but a payday loan with an APR of 299%. I checked with the Federal Trade Commission, Who informed me they were not licensed to do business as a payday loan business in the state of Virginia. The Better Business Bureau had 143 complaints listed against them about bad collection practices and handling of accounts. The Attorney General's Office had no complaints against CashNetUSA. The Consumer Protection Agency said when I explained what I had sounded like a payday loan. The ad online had the caption "CashNetUSA Payday" and when you open the website you see the question "How much would you Like to borrow?"
Their ad did say they did Cash Advances, but nothing about lines of credit. I also checked online for other companies that did Open-End Line of Credit but could not find one that charged over 18% APR. This is clearly a payday loan and I'm sending the Consumer Protection Agency a copy of all the material I receiveived, which did not include the proof that the interest charged did not exceed that allowed by law. I'm also thinking Season Wolfe sounds like an alias and that I've been took for a very expensive ride.

FORT BENNING, Ga., (Feb. 26, 2014) -- The Tarheels and Heat faced off Saturday during a Child, Youth & School Services 11- to 13-year-old basketball game at Santiago Gym with the Heat coming out on top 20-10.
Ladarious Williams led the first quarter scoring with three of the Heats' five points while the defense held the Tarheels scoreless in the quarter. The game's top scorer, David Lacy, extended the Heats' lead with four points in the second quarter as the Heat took a 9-1 lead into the half.
Heat coach Diamond Hough attributed the Tarheels lack of scoring to his defense.
"Our defense (2-3 zone) is good for not letting people get to the middle, which we don't want them to do," he said. "Most of the kids at this age have not developed a long shot."
The Tarheel's were strong offensively in the second half and pulled to within two points at 12-10. Despite being fouled, the Tarheels missed several opportunities to score, allowing the Heat to remain in the lead and take home the 20-10 win.
Hough attributed much of the team's success to guards Joshua Jackson and Jayson Lacy.
"Those two stepped up big today," he said. "We practiced a specific offense formation and both of them were able to execute the offense, so both of them scored. Since every team knows that I have two good big men, the better my guards are, the better we are and we will be unstoppable because they have to concentrate on the big men. If my guards (score consistently), we're going to be a good team."
David Lacy scored a game-high 10 points to lead the Heat and Donovan Pearman led the Tarheels with six points.
Pearman (6), Robertson (3), McClain (1).
D. Lacy (10), Williams (6), Ayral (2), J. Lacy (2).

The Things They Carried
by Tim O'Brien
The Dead, Dainty Young Man
Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory
The young man represents all of the faceless Vietnamese dead. There were hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese dead, and many went unidentified, burned by napalm or buried by the American soldiers:
There were many bodies, real bodies with real faces, but I was young then and I was afraid to look. And now, twenty years later, I'm left with faceless responsibility and faceless grief. (Good Form.7)
With the young man on the trail, O'Brien is trying to give the Vietnamese victims some dignity and an identity.

MACON, Ga. (AP) -- Authorities say a 57-year-old Macon man has died from injuries he suffered in a severe beating three weeks earlier.
The Telegraph of Macon reports that Harold Greene died early Saturday at the Medical Center of Central Georgia. Bibb County Coroner Leon Jones said Greene had been taken off life support.
Authorities found Green beaten and unconscious in downtown Macon on April 4. Jones says he had been knocked to the ground and kicked in the head.
Police arrested 59-year-old Lonnie Floyd Layson and charged him with aggravated assault in the attack on Greene. He remains jailed in Bibb County and could face additional charges stemming from Greene's death.

Ad Me
July 22, 2016 | by Matthew St. Ville Hunte
Growing up in the context of no context.
A few years ago, my late friend D. G. Myers and I had a disagreement about the relationship between advertising and literary culture. Myers argued that the ads and articles in the Saturday Evening Post had a bearing on the stories F. Scott Fitzgerald initially published in the magazine, on the grounds that all three came out of the same cultural context. At the time, I was unpersuaded—the ads, I said, were just there to pay the bills—but I have come to see his point.
Last week, I rewatched an episode of Reading Rainbow that I have long cherished. As the episode begins, LeVar Burton, the show's host, appears alone on a smog-filled dock on Charleston Harbor. Wearing a trench coat and fedora in the style of a hard-boiled detective, Burton is on the trail of Big Mama Blue. Suddenly we hear someone singing opera, and Burton introduces Mystery on The Docks, by Thacher Hurd. The story, narrated by Raúl Juliá, is about an opera-loving short-order cook who saves a famous singer from gangsters. All the characters are rats. Read More »
Falling for Fitzgerald

A hopeless affair with America's greatest—and deceased—man of letters.
Last year, I confessed to my best friend that I had fallen in love with another man. When she heard this man's identity, she knew I was in trouble.
"First of all," she told me, "you're married. And so is he."
"I know," I said miserably.
"Plus, he has a mistress," she pointed out.
"Yes," I conceded.
"And, you know," she went on, "he also happens to be dead." Read More »

Why lie? I first picked up Colleen Moore's 1968 autobiography, Silent Star, because I wanted to read about the dollhouse. Yes, Moore is a pivotal figure in early Hollywood. Yes, Flaming Youth is considered one of the defining pieces of flapper culture. But it was the dollhouse that grabbed me.
The Colleen Moore dollhouse is indeed something to see, and plenty of people do: since 1949 the Fairy Castle has been on display at Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry, where once can marvel at the perfection of the elaborate interiors, the world's tiniest Bible, and the miniature paintings contributed by Walt Disney. And the memoir does not stint on details about the house's furnishing, its financing, the dozens of Hollywood designers and artist friends Moore tapped to decorate the fairy castle, which as a touring attraction would raise a great deal of money for children's charities. (Necessary to mention for those who want to suggest a grown woman is "arrested" for squandering time and money on such an enterprise—or, indeed, reading about it obsessively.) Read More »
It's Not a Bean, It's an Oil Bubble, and Other News
August 14, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
- Plenty of adjectives are fit for Norman Mailer—insecure, misogynistic, overrated—but the one people seem to settle on, as a kind of euphemism, is pugnacious. Yes, here was a man whose ears always pricked up for the call of combat, a man who'd ask you to put your dukes up even when no one was watching: "Imagine it: Mailer is living in small-town Connecticut. He takes his dogs out after midnight to relieve themselves. He chances to stroll past a few young men sitting on a porch, one of whom points out the obvious: Mailer's well-groomed poodles were probably queer. Mailer must have seen the implication: Who would own homosexual dogs, if not a homosexual man? In the middle of the night, with no one there to impress, one of the world's most famous authors demanded satisfaction … Fearing for his life and bleeding from both eyes, Mailer surrendered and dragged himself home. Laid up in a dark room for days afterwards, he didn't feel too badly about himself: there was only dishonor in flinching from a fight, not in losing decently."
- Joan Didion, meanwhile, has been held up as the embodiment of feminine cool, even with her wincingly elitist, antifeminist politics: "It's interesting to think about how Didion would have fared had she come to New York in 2015 rather than 1955. She is, after all, a writer for whom feelings (especially her own) are inherently unreliable sources. She assailed feminism's 'invention of women as a "class" ' and wrote dismissively of the oppressed 'Everywoman' who 'needed contraceptives because she was raped on every date … and raped finally on the abortionist's table.' She never got involved in the women's movement, because, according to a friend, 'she was beyond that.' Didion is, for all her sensitivity and curiosity, more than a little bit of a class snob."
- "The Contemporary Novel," an 1927 essay by T. S. Eliot, is finally seeing publication in English, nearly ninety years later. Of novelists like Woolf, Lawrence, and Huxley, he writes, "I can find unity—or rather, unanimity—only in the fact that they all lack what [Henry] James seems to me so preeminently to possess: the 'moral preoccupation.' And as I believe that this 'moral preoccupation' is more and more asserting itself in the minds of those who think and feel, I am forced to the somewhat extreme conclusion that the contemporary English novel is behind the times."
- Some twenty-five hundred words of a lost F. Scott Fitzgerald novel have been found languishing in a box in the Princeton library. They're from an unfinished work called Ballet School—Chicago, which is about, sure enough, "a ballerina trying to make her way in Chicago. She has an attraction to a wealthy neighbor because he can get her out of this tough existence … and she can have a happy life with him. The story goes into the very hard training for ballet dancers. But then something quirky and unsuspected happens that changes her impression of him."
- Anish Kapoor's Cloud Gate, otherwise known as "the Bean," has been a major attraction in Chicago since 2006, which is maybe why in China, the city of Karamay, Xinjiang, has just ripped it off with a new, shiny, surprisingly Bean-like sculpture of their own. "A spokesperson from the Karamay tourism bureau went on the record to defend the sculpture, telling the Wall Street Journal that while Kapoor's sculpture was 'a bean shape,' the sculpture in Karamay 'looks like an oil bubble.'

- Ice cream: delicious summertime treat or agent of moral turpitude? In fin de siècle Scotland, ice cream parlors "with mirrored walls and leather seats" became "the scourge of the prudish bourgeoisie, who saw them as papist dens of vice": "Among the more egregious crimes committed by the shops' proprietors was that of allowing young people of both sexes to intermingle and smoke. One inspector had said that he had seen girls of 'tender years' smoking cigarettes in the shop. They were also seen dancing to 'music supplied by a mouth organ' … It was concluded that ice cream shops embodied 'perfect iniquities of hell itself and ten times worse than any of the evils of the public house. They were sapping the morals of the youth of Scotland.' "
- Frances Kroll Ring, F. Scott Fitzgerald's longtime secretary, died last month. She had many critical tasks in his life, one of which was to rid him of his anti-Semitism: "It's entirely possible that Frances Kroll was the first Jewish person he ever spent any time with … 'Jews lose clarity,' he jotted in his Notebooks. 'They get to look like old melted candles, as if their bodies were preparing to waddle' … As Kroll tells it, Fitzgerald displayed a great deal of curiosity about Jewishness, pestering her about Jewish characteristics and customs. He was fascinated by 'the Passover feast' and the practice of keeping kosher."
- Jack London spent his youth shoveling coal in a cannery, so he really, really, really wanted to become a successful writer and leave that hell behind. He had a good year in 1903: The Call of the Wild was serialized in the Saturday Evening Post, bringing the success that allowed him to write full-time. He conveyed his newfound wisdom to aspirant writers in a piece called "Getting Into Print." Some of it's still true in this century: "Don't quit your job to write unless there is none dependent on you." Other parts are not: "Fiction pays best of all, and when it is of a fair quality is more easily sold."
- When John Hersey's Hiroshima appeared in paperback, it sported a new, terrifically misguided cover, becoming what Paula Rabinowitz called "a garish nightmare of American annihilation": "In this image, two people, not Japanese, are fleeing an explosion just beyond the frame. They are young, white, and stylish: she epitomizes New Look fashion in her loafers and gathered skirt, he sports pleated cuffs and a fitted trench coat … The cover artist, Geoffrey Biggs, wasn't trying to be deceptive. As he says, in a note that sits just before the copyright page, he was trying to be universal: 'I just drew two perfectly ordinary people—like you or me—and had them portray alarm, anxiety, and yet wild hope for survival as they run from man-made disaster in a big city—a city like yours or mine.' "
- In which the Argentine writer Sergio Chejfec dissects names, first and foremost his own: "Some years ago I had the idea of asking several writer friends if they wouldn't care to reflect on their own surname … This task—to speak about one's surname and to portray oneself through it—contains, I think, a touch of transcendence that brings us closer to death. We insert a mark—which is our emblem, i.e. the commentary—into an undefined series of fairly indistinct moments which is characterized precisely by the absence of marks … That common coin which is our surname, received at times like a baton, needs us so as to take on substance and, as it were, identity."

- Jason Segel, who took on the role of David Foster Wallace in the new movie The End of the Tour, discusses how he studied for the role: he watched the Charlie Rose interview, read the collected nonfiction, and, yes, reckoned with Infinite Jest. And yet his grasp of Wallace's themes feels superficial: "I felt like I was reading a man who was sending out sort of a distress beacon saying, 'Does anyone else feel dissatisfied?' " Try reading Oblivion, Jason. Then we'll talk.
- While we're talking biopics: the old Tinsel Town rumor mill has it that James Ponsoldt may direct West of Sunset, an F. Scott Fitzgerald biopic based on Stewart O'Nan's novel. "Replete with cameo appearances from such idols as Ernest Hemingway, Dorothy Parker, and Humphrey Bogart, the source novel juxtaposed Fitzgerald's last gasps in Hollywood with his golden years as a literary celebrity."
- Douglas Coupland on Duane Hanson's sculptures and their unlikely connection to drag-queen culture: "It was only later in life that I realized Hanson was going for realness, a term used by drag queens in competitions when portraying archetypes: rich white women dressed for lunch; high-school football-players getting their photos taken for the yearbook … Hanson's pieces are right there, equal with you.
