Nightmare walls-paneling, wallpaper, plaster
I recently purchased a 100 year old house and have some questions regarding solutions to my wall-woes. Practically all the walls in the house are paneling--which really doesn't bother me, and I like the look of painted paneling ok enough. However, the previous homeowners have created a very unpleasant situation in the living room.
They wallpapered over the paneling in the living room, but did not fill in the seams, so there are many creases in the wall, making it look basically like cardboard. I think it is the paintable type of wall paper, but still, whenever it gets newly wet with a fresh coat of paint, the paper sinks deeper into the cracks. The other walls have paintable wall paper over plaster, and look reasonably ok.
Also, we have hideous drop ceilings, but they are masking and even more hideous upper wall and ceiling. To add value to the home, I would really like to have the entire thing redone (walls and ceilings) redone with drywall, but I have no idea to go about judging the feasibility of this myself. Some basic questions are, 1) Would I completely remove the old paneling and plaster and work straight from the studs? I have read some articles about installing drywall over existing walls, but wouldn't this cause problems with the trim and electrical outlets (i.e. extending the thickness of the wall too far)?
I doubt I would try to mud the walls myself, but I could perhaps save some money by doing the demo, and hanging the drywall myself.
Any advice appreciated!
1) Would I completely remove the old paneling and plaster and work straight from the studs? I have read some articles about installing drywall over existing walls, but wouldn't this cause problems with the trim and electrical outlets (i.e. extending the thickness of the wall too far)?
__________________________________________________ _____________________
I am very particular (picky) when it comes to remodeling. So, I would be the first one to remove the old paneling and plaster. Oh yes, and ceiling tile. I have installed and taped allot of gypsum board, however.
With that said, you can install gypsum board over existing walls if they are level, solid and straight. Straight in an old home will be nearly impossible to find, but it is the least problematic of the conditions I mentioned. You can use an electronic stud finder to locate the studs. So, this is not a problem. The outlet/switch boxes do present a challenge. There are extensions available that will connect to the old boxes. Here is a link: http://www.aifittings.com/m_9.htm
Now, taping is definitely an art. However, it can be learned by we near mortals. I learned in a day; 24 years ago. I still make mistakes, but a bit of sandpaper and time take care of that problem. I am certain that you could learn. What I would do is find a good book or website and study diligently. Then, you can take a small section of wall and use it for training. It works. All you require is time, patience and 3 taping knives; 4", 6" and 12".
Good luck!
If it were my house i would definately remove plaster and paneling. True that in many older homes it is very difficult to find smooth walls to secure drywall to. Not to mention if the previous homeowner covered the walls with paneling, the plaster is probably in terrible shape and yes uneven-due to settling and/or numerous patches. Heres my advice for ya---
I would demo down to the studs. It would take you probably only a chunk of a day and would be worth it. Probably need a dumpster or pick-up cause plaster is both very heavy and messy.
Keep into account any windows or doors in the room. If you add a 1/2in to the walls you would also need to add strips to the face to properly attach any casing.
Rip it out to the studs and measure distance from stud to face of door jam. Plaster is always thicker than drywall due to laths, etc. Any walls with doors or windows you may want to put drywall shims on studs to make up the difference. These are 4 ft lengths of thin cardboard available at any menards or home depot.
Mudding can be difficult but you can't do anything wrong that a lil sand paper can't fix. Ok sometimes allota sanding.
Done this before
Alright...are you going to change electrical or not. How is the insulation in the walls now? If your not changeing electric and insulation is OK, I would say why not go over the top! I have used 1/4 inch drywall before and works fine. Otherwise I would recommend 1/2 inch. It is easier to work with for a novice and 1/4 inch drywall does not come in 12 foot board. As far as the windows and trim go, you just have to cut strips of finish wood to fir out to the new drywall. This is after all the drywall has been finished and the painting is done. Sure the best way is to take it down to the studs but if you want a good fix, a new skin is just FINE. And yes, if you remove the plaster it will be differant thicknesses and this gives you problems when installing new drywall. The walls will have to be firred out so the drywall is flush with your windows and door jambs. Hope this helps a bit for now. :thumbup:
I had a 100 + year old house that I did a lot of remodeling to over the years.
I would recommend taking out all old plaster and lath,and in addition to
above suggestions, rewire each room,as it may not be up to code.If you live in an area where insulation is an important factor,(either for heating or cooling)now is the time to fill those wall cavities.
It's a lot of time and hard work,but by doing a room at a time,you could still feel you're in a livable home.
Of coarse,a lot of this will depend on your long term plans for the house,but the equity level you build up will increase resale and marketability.
If you feel the project is too big for your time and expertise,do some of the work yourself and then hire qualified tradesmen.
if you are to do the demolition yourself be ready for the plaster dust that will spread through your entire home unless the area is well sealed.
Drop ceilings always send the message that something is being hidden,so don't cut your project short here.
Older homes have a charm all to them selves,they just don't make them any more.
I've found many treasures in the old walls,things that fall down from the attic in some old homes,so keep your eyes open.
Good Luck with your project.
Careful when you demo.
Dont break up all those pretty lathes. Save a BUNCH of them since 'usually' you can use them to fir out the studs so your 1/2 drywall fits to your door and window trim. Be VERY careful removing that trim too cause ugly can happen in a hurry and not easy to find exact replacements for them,specially if varnished finish. Unless you are going to go with all new trim of Mahogahny or OAK. Oak is more durable. IF using the old trim back write on the back of EVERY piece where it goes back on,,like North wall east side etc. It may LOOK easy to find back,,,but not so.
But those lathes are free and you need the fir out anyway,,,usually one or two makes things fit pretty darn good cause most plaster was 1/2" over the lathes. Some may be different thicknesses too. You can always use them for something later.(holds down felt paper on the roof real well!!)
And yes definitely overdo the wiring if not 100% up to code,,,its your BEST and easiest time. Ditto on insulation!! IF the ceiling is over 8' I suggest framing that in and dropping it to 8' with a new framing grid of lumber of appropraite size,,,easy to do now compared to trying to dw a 9 foot ceiling!!
Makes it look much more modern!!(and lessens heating space) Insulate it well too IF this s a one story,,,for sure!!
Had similar problem in one of rooms - paneling and drop ceiling covering hideous, cracked plaster. And no insulation in the walls. It is a major project, but it is worth it. Btw, if you don't want to redo the floors, here's an advice: after you put down some plastic, rip paneling off and use it to cover the floor. Demolishing plaster involves lots of debris raining on the floor, so you gotta have hard protection. Isolate the rest of house as much as possible against dust. Be sure to wear a respirator. And be ready to haul out tons of debris. I stripped the room down to studs, cleaned up, redid all the electricals, and since this room shares a wall with a bathroom, I put in a new shower valve. I also took out windows, reframed the openings, and put in new Andersen 400 units. Filled alll stud bays with insulation (there was none), insulated the ceiling - more for sound - and put up drywall. The room looks awesome, and it feels more spacious. Totally was worth it.
How Long did it take????
How many hours did you have in demo? Was there lathe or metal in the corners? Did you use 12 foot board? Just wondering more!!!:eek:
If you mean me, that was a small room - about 10x11. Still about 3 days non-stop with a hammer and a crowbar, and then two more loading and hauling the debris. All wood lath, no metal.
1. Definitely keep in mind that if you add a layer it impacts all your jam depth for windows and doors. You'll need to somehow add to the jam width. Also, if you have nice baseboard or crown molding that you want to save this will need to be cut down slightly for the shorter wall lengths.
2. Similarly, if you take out the old paneling and plaster (if there is plaster under the old paneling), and replace with drywall it might also affect your jams and trimwork unless you match the old thickness exactly. If you end up with less wall thickness than the original then all your old baseboard and crown will be too short but the jams could be planed down.
3. Many drywall finishers will charge you extra if you hang the drywall because it won't be hung the way they like it. It can actually cost you more to hang it yourself if you are hiring a finisher than to just have someone hang and finish.
4. If you are going to do this then definitely upgrade the insulation unless it's already been done.

LF library director Pat Pelak set to retire
little falls – The Little Falls Public Library's director will retire from her long time position this month. Pat Pelak, who has been with the library for over 36 years, will officially retire on Dec. 17.
I've been director here for 20 years and I've enjoyed it tremendously," said Pelak. "I've been very fortunate to have had a career in a field that I've loved."
Pelak, a Little Falls native, attended Passaic Valley High School and is a graduate of Farleigh Dickinson University. She received her undergraduate degree in psychology. She first went to work for Meyer Brothers department store in Wayne.
"After I working there for a while, I then I decided to move up to Boston with a friend," she recalled. "But after some time I planned on returning back to Little Falls. That's when my mother, who was school secretary at School No. 2 at the time, was told by the principal that there was a position at the library that just opened. They had merged two part-time positions into one full-time and my mother thought, 'That would be perfect for Patty.' The timing was perfect when I first came to work here at the library."
Pelak first started out as a clerk and eventually became library assistant and then assistant to the library director. After many years, she was recommended as library director by the library board's president when her predecessor retired.
"She was my mentor and I really learned a lot from her," she added. "I gained some much insight from her and I brought that to the position when I became director."
One of the biggest changes in the library that Pelak said she was proud to spearhead for the past two decades was the technological changes and the gradual evolution of libraries towards different media.
"It's been the most amazing transformation, the move towards computerized technologies. We started out with LAN (Local Area Network) and then CD-Roms to the onset of the Internet. We now have 26 public computers in this library. It's been a huge change to have things like e-books and all the social networking. But libraries still serve a need of helping patrons evaluate information than just acquiring it."
However, Pelak feels that technology should never fully take the place of books for libraries.
"What I've loved about my job is picking books for patrons they ended up really loving. It's always been rewarding to have feedback from a patron they've found something gratifying. It's that element of discovery that I've helped them with that has been so rewarding for me. Books are why we're still here."
Pelak looks forward to her retirement and her future.
"I've been very lucky and my career here has been very rewarding," she noted. "But it's time for me to step back but not stop. I'm looking forward to having the time for things I've been waiting to do."
The library has not yet announced a replacement for Pelak.

Re: Shorty Antenna

Re: Shorty Antenna
I got a shorty from Pep Boys, about $13, and about 4 inches long, black. Works much better than I expected, although I have not taken it out on a long trip yet. But, for that, I have "Tune In" on my iPhone, and a direct USB conection to the in dash radio. That actually sounds better than the damn off-the-air signals! Gotta love digital!

Cartilage is a type of dense connective tissue.
Cartilage is composed of cells called chondrocytes which are dispersed in a firm gel-like ground substance, called the matrix.
Cartilage is avascular (contains no blood vessels) and nutrients are diffused through the matrix.
Cartilage is found in the joints, the rib cage, the ear, the nose, in the throat and between intervertebral disks.
There are three main types of cartilage: hyaline, elastic and fibrocartilage.

Darlene Cohen recently led a fall practice period, with her student Susan Spencer acting as Shuso. Folks from several different practice places participated. We began with a one-day sitting at the Berkeley Zen Center and ended with a three-day sitting on Black Mountain, near Calaveras. A community day at Russian River Zendo—which Darlene leads with her husband Tony Patchell—gave students the opportunity to present their teachers with beautiful new hand-sewn ceremonial robes. During the practice period, students gathered in Pacifica for a weekly class on Buddhist precepts.
Sarah Weintraub is now the executive director of the Buddhist Peace Fellowship. But way back when, she was a student in my Third Grade class at The San Francisco School. When I invited my students to write a biography about someone they knew and admired, Sarah chose Darlene Cohen. Sarah's parents are Steve Weintraub and Eijun Linda Cutts, who live and practice at Green Gulch Farm.
Having the opportunity to spend this practice period with Darlene, inspired by her complete dedication to practice despite illness, I remembered this piece and found it in my files. Though some details in Darlene's life have changed over the years, I think Sarah, at the age of eight, deftly conveyed Darlene's wit, her generosity, and the flavor of her wide reaching compassion.
Darlene Sue Cohen Patchell By Sarah Weintraub (when 8 years old)
Curly auburn-haired Darlene Sue Cohen Patchell lives in a red and brown house with clouds on her bedroom ceiling and lots of personal plates on a ledge in her kitchen. She has a beautiful smile and might serve you kiwi juice if you visit her. Darlene's name comes from some baby book. It is Irish but her ancestors do not come from Ireland. This is what Darlene says about her name: "I hate it. It's too lower class and corny, not elegant." Darlene was born on October 31, 1942, on Halloween, in Dayton, Ohio. When she was born, she only weighed three pounds and her mother dressed her in doll clothes the first few months of her life! She had one younger brother and she felt fine about the order of birth. ...
Though living with cancer, Darlene continues to practice with integrity, humor and courage. She is on the mend from a bout of pneumonia right now, but if you'd like to write her and let her know how she has touched your life, she will curl up with a cup of hot tea—or perhaps some kiwi juice—to read your words.

Laura Burges, a lay entrusted teacher in the Soto Zen tradition, lectures and leads retreats at different practice centers in Northern California. See the 2011 calendars for Green Gulch Farm and Tassajara for events she will be leading in the coming year.

A replica of it...from the same maker. Just gauging interest here.
Good ol Turo of course did the leg work here and he was gracious enough to let me meet the person who created his awesome vest. So before you go posting or anything, make sure you thank your host on the way in. Now, onto business....is anyone interested in a vest made by the same person who did Seeker's ? I spoke with her and I think she;s interested in doing some for the group. The cost, I believe would be perhaps AROUND 150 USD, maybe more, but WELL under 200 USD
Just keep that in mind...it would be made to your sizing and sewn just like Seeker's. I would probably do the half down now, half later bit. Just FYI, her credentials with leather are incredible..she sews leather jackets for HOG's all day and well, you've seen Turo's vest.
So only serious inteterest only as I need real numbers, so don't post unless you're for sure and the price range seems adequate.

OHSU researchers, in partnership with scientists from several other institutions, have published two new research papers that signal how the next class of powerful medications may currently reside at the bottom of the ocean. In both cases, the researchers were focused on ocean-based mollusks -- a category of animal that includes snails, clams and squid and their bacterial companions.
Sea life studies aid researchers in several ways, including the development of new medications and biofuels. Because many of these ocean animal species have existed in harmony with their bacteria for millions of years, these benign bacteria have devised molecules that can affect body function without side effects and therefore better fight disease.

A Bayou Education
School choice, or not?
Gov. Bobby Jindal's voucher program that uses tax dollars to send students to private schools was ruled unconstitutional Friday by a state judge who said it's improperly funded through the public school financing formula.Well, we all know that teachers' unions are only in it for the kids. Jindal is fighting back, however.
Judge Tim Kelley sided with arguments presented by teacher unions and school boards seeking to shut down the voucher program and other changes that would funnel more money away from traditional public schools.
More than 4,900 students are enrolled in 117 private schools with taxpayer dollars, in one of the largest voucher programs in the nation.
The judge said the method the Jindal administration, state education leaders and lawmakers used to pay for the voucher program violates state constitutional provisions governing the annual education funding formula, called the Minimum Foundation Program or MFP.

Uncharted 3 (Chapter 10 Glitch or bug)[ Edited ]
Hey guys, i got a copy uncharted 3 this week and started playing.I encountered a problem during my playtrough which is preventing me to progress further.
First problem i faced was in chapter 8 ( citadel) beginning. I entered into a tower and sully was waiting outside. When i got in, i died and game started loading checkpoint. It took a lot of time, so when i tried to quit, my ps3 restarted with 3 beeps.i could not load the game after that. (infinite loading)
So i decided to update patch 1.19. (cause i didnt do it before). After that the game loaded perfectly and played until chapter 10 (when i have to follow talbot). After he gets into the building, i follow him and going further triggers a cutscene. That cutscene had no voice at all. Talbot throws me out of window and game begins. Still no sound but i can hear punch and other objects. If i die or restart checkpoint, infinite loading starts. If i quit during infinite loading or during that cutscene or gameplay ps3 restarts with 3 beeps. I restarted chapter 10 but same issue every time.
I also started new game from another save, but same problem in chapter 10.
I also tried chapter 10 again by deleting the patch.no change.
Please forgive my bad english. I tried to be as specific as possible. Please look into this issue. My ps3 is 320gb slim.Thanks in advance.
Mod Edit: Removed labels. Moved to Uncharted 3: Technical Issues. -- XiomaraRose

The #1 Audible bestseller from the author of The Stone Man (shortlisted for the Audible Audiobook of the Year Award 2015)
There are hangovers, there are bad hangovers, and then there's waking up inside someone else's head. Thirty-something bartender Charlie Wilkes is faced with this dilemma when he wakes up to find himself trapped inside The Black Room - a space consisting of impenetrable darkness and a huge, ethereal screen floating in its center. It is through this screen that he sees the world of his female host, Minnie.
How did he get there? What has happened to his life? And how can he exist inside the mind of a troubled, fragile, but beautiful woman with secrets of her own? Uncertain whether he's even real or if he's just a figment of his host's imagination, Charlie must enlist Minnie's help if he is to find a way out of The Black Room, where the light of the screen goes out every time Minnie closes her eyes….
In The Darkness, That's Where I'll Know You tells the complete story of The Black Room, parts one to four. It contains all of the adventures of Charlie and Minnie, guaranteed to keep the listener on the edge of his or her seat.
©2013 Luke Smitherd (P)2015 Luke Smitherd
"Science fiction, drama, humor, horror, and yes - even romance - are expertly blended ... In The Darkness, That's Where I'll Know You is shaped with an exquisite precision that culminates in a climax that leaves the listener exhausted from the dizzying thrill of emotions..." (Ain't It Cool News)
"Luke told me to write this but I would have anyway"
Yes, it was very entertaining.
Every time you thin you know where the author is going, he throws you a curve.
Stone Man was also good. this one was close to Stone Man.
Had a few laugh moments and a few WTF moments.
Good Job Luke!

"Incredible job, Mr. Smitherd!"
This is apparently the author's first voice-over, and what a great job! He understands his characters well enough to breathe not only life into them with the spoken word, but depth. I Ilistened to Stone Man before this, and it was just as good. I'm a fan of yours, good sir!
"Wow - Fantastic Imagination and Gripping Story"
If I tell you, I'll give too much away.
This is my second Luke Smitherd audiobook (LOVED The Stone Man) and I can't wait for more. He has a fantastic imagination and you will get lost in the strange worlds he creates. If you like horror, mystery, and/or science fiction, his books are the perfect blending of them all. The only small, small downside here is that some of the lines repeat in the recording - not sure why. But don't let that stop you. Just know you're not crazy.....

"I guess I'm now officially a fan"
I started with The Stone Man, which I found by accident, and liked a lot. That led me to A Head Full of Knives, which I loved. Which led me to In The Darkness, which I found the best of the lot. So I guess I'm a fan.
There were a few minor glitches in the audio editing (repeated sentences here and there), but not out of hand. For narration, I'd give it at least a B+.
I personally found the epilogue a bit sappy and off-putting, especially given the hard-nosed nature of the story itself, and also the unsentimental endings of The Stone Man and A Head Full of Knives. But that's just me.
So I'll now be moving on to The Man on Table Ten. And looking forward for more from Mr. Smitherd.
"A wild ride with great characters & major twists!"
Absolutely. Luke Smitherd enjoys twisted, unpredictable plots, and they are worth the price of admission, but his real genius is in creating imperfect, very human characters that you come to care about while he's busy torturing them. In particular, this book takes an incredible left turn that will literally smack you in the face while you are busily shouting back at the author, "What did you just do, you #(%^)#?"
Difficult to say; the book seems almost to change genres from section to section, which shouldn't work, but somehow it does.
Without providing spoilers, Minnie's date and the immediate aftermath scene combined into a 1-2 punch that together demonstrate why I love Luke Smitherd's work.
No. This particular omnibus was published in four parts, and I think it is best consumed pretty much that way.
This was Smitherd's first audiobook, and he narrates it himself. He does a really good job overall, and you can tell he gets into his own work. That enthusiasm makes up for the small but annoying glitches--particularly noticeable in parts three and four--where he rereads a phrase or a sentence twice that should have been edited out, and one paragraph about Minnie that should not have appeared until the very end of the book just sort of pops up early in part four, where it doesn't really make any sense whatever. But, again, I want to emphasize that this is a MINOR issue in a really fun book.
"Great Story!"
I really enjoyed The Black Room series - kept me wondering the entire time how things fit together, where it was going, and how it would end - which was outstanding. The author did a great job of narration as well. Eager to listen to the next Luke Smitherd book!
Luke Smitherd did a fantastic job reading this book! He nailed the freaked out parts and the pure insanity were spot on! So enjoyable! Don't bother hiring anyone else, Luke, you're on top of it.
There was a point where I felt like I wanted to stop reading because I couldn't get a grip on everything the book was saying and wasn't sure I wanted to! However, I'm so glad I finished it because it's like nothing else I've read and like letting your mind tumble around in the washing machine with new ideas bouncing into you all over the place! You're left thinking the plots through all day long.
If I had to choose something I liked best, it was that, try as hard as I could, I could barely ever figure out where the author was taking us! I'd have an idea, then I'd be wrong. Then I'd make some small connections - thinking I could guess what was coming - then bam!! - he'd take us somewhere entirely unexpected! Such a heart-pounding thrill.
I'll certainly be recommending this book - to the right sort of people ;) - and discussing it with my bookclub once we've all finished reading it.
Thanks Luke!
"Well read by the author"
Probably not, because I pretty much never listen to anything twice.
I thought the premise was novel and the plot was well constructed. The world the author constructs is interesting, and discovering it along with the characters makes for a compelling read.
The author does a nice job reading his own book and his accent fits nicely with the book's location.
One, and unfortunately it wasn't in a good way. The fourth act gets a little too cringeworthy for a moment, but not enough to ruin the book. The author acknowledges in an afterword that he actually toned down that section, and I can see why.
One thing I found surprising and maybe a little disappointing was the ending. The ending works and is a decent choice, but without giving anything away all I can say is that there are some story elements that the author introduces but never returns to, and they could have been used to come to a very different (and, in my mind, slightly superior) resolution.
That said, the book was both entertaining and satisfying. I'll definitely be listening to more of his work (particularly if he reads it himself).
"Riveting! I finished this book nearly in one go."
I can't believe what a great writer Luke Smitherd is!! I discovered him completely by accident, and each book I have listened to is even better than the last. Each one is my favorite for different reasons. In The Darkness is my favorite for how the author plays with the roles of hero and villain. I hate spoilers, so I won't say much more, just that if you liked any of his other works, you will probably love this one. If you haven't read any of his other stuff, start anywhere, every single book is incredible, well worth a credit.
As for the narration, narrated by the author is a very good thing in this case. I hope this author will continue to narrate his own books. He breathes life into the story and characters in a way that no one else possibly could. Very highly recommend.
"Thriller Love Story"
Very good story, especially enjoyed the narration by the author. Story starts off nice and steady but builds to a gripping pace, to the point where I listened to the book much later into a work night than I should have.
I'm not that into thrillers and some of the scenes took me past my comfort level but Luke got the balance right for the story and I was duely rewarded with a satisfying ending.
"Highly recommended"
A friend once summed up the quality I like so much in Richard Matheson's writing as "Ordinary people in extraordinary situations." The same applies to Luke Smitherd's writing, which explains why I've binged my way through all of his books on Audible.
It's hard to pin a genre to these ; they're not really full on sci fi or fantasy, rather they're the journey of believable, engaging everyday characters dealing with a world inexplicably tilted on its axis.
Whatever genre it is, it works for me.
"Couldn't put the book down"
Found the story to be very captivating, interesting and intriguing. Great mystery all the way till the end.
"This needs to be a Movie (Totally original)"
Yes of course and i will be doing but not before i gobble up more work from this talented Author.
No Spoilers, all i will say is when the penny dropped and the story explained the many questions i had whilst listening
Too many to name but one that sticks out was the date scene
Yes completely
If you're anything like me and get a little fed up with the same sort of stories and want to experience a very different refreshing concept, still with gripping drama, lots of mystery and want to go on a different kind of journey then there really is no need to be still reading this. What are you waiting for ?. Best credit i have spent in a very long time. (Apart from The Stone Man) Off to purchase the rest of this authors books.
"Something different from the same old same old"
Loved this book. Different from anything I have read before. Loved the characters and cared for them. Loved the narration too. I have also read the stone man by the same author and would recommend that book too. The two stories are very different and unlike anything I have previously read.
"This just gets better and better!"
Never been so gripped by a story as much as this one! As you listen to the audio book you think you've Sussed what's happening and then Smitherd hits you with several twists! Prepare yourself for a lengthy listen to this as you are not goingt to want to have a break! Good work from the author both written and spoken.
"Original and engaging."
Definitely. It was a unique story and and engaging and entertaining listen.
This was not a book with a large cast. The main character Charlie was probably my favourite. He was a likeable everyman who found himself entangled in some crazy happenings and dealt with them pretty well.
I usually avoid books narrated by their authors, as 9 times out of 10 they are awfully performed, but I'm glad I took a chance on this one as Luke Smitherd gave a competent performance. He was not the best narrator I've ever listened to but he was far from the worst. I even think he improved as the story progressed. I'll be happy to listen to his other books.
Not really but there was a lot of moments when I was completely sucked into the story so I guess that is a good sign.
I really enjoyed this unusual sci-fi/horror.
"A wonderfull work"
I have never read or listened to Smitherds stuff before but it was a truly wonderful experience. It was original taughtly and coherently plotted and contains extremely engaging and believable characters. i think that it is this combination of smills which make you suspend the disbelief so you can buy into the story. I highly and hearty reccomend this audio book. Thank you for creating such a joyous work.
"A fantastic book,something different, Brilliant."
I have never read anything like this before and I get through a lot of books.The fact that the writer is also the narrator means the characters sound as he wanted and not someone else's interpretation.The possibly baffling storyline is explained so clearly it is easy to follow all the complexities and will have you desperate to carry on with the story when you have to do something else.
The ending actually made me cry,something no other book has done,I became so involved with the story I just didn't want it to end.
"Terrifying, Painful, Heart Wrenching, Brilliant"
I can not do this book justice with my ability of the written word however I would urge any person to at least attempt it. Graphic in places but nesecarry in that. Intricate story telling at its best no stone left unturned no end left loose. This would make a great Netflix or similar Mini Series too complex for just a film I would 10/10 watch. Will be recommending to friends and family.
"Worth listening."
Loved this book. Great story, great narration, all round a really enjoyable experience. I'd recommend this book to anyone who is looking for an enthralling listen and has an open mind.

Freak. Witch. Crazy. Schizo. Ember Brycin has been called them all. She's always known she's different. No one has ever called her normal, even under the best circumstances. Bizarre and inexplicable things continually happen to her, and having two different colored eyes, strange hair, and an unusual tattoo only contributes to the gossip about her. When the latest school explosion lands her in a facility for trouble teens, she meets Eli Dragen, who's hot as hell and darkly mysterious. Their connection is full of passion, danger, and secrets.
Secrets that will not only change her life, but what and who she is, leading her down a path she never imagined possible. Between Light and Dark, Ember finds a world where truth and knowledge are power and no one can be trusted. But her survival depends on finding out the truth about herself. In her pursuit, she is forced between love and destiny and good and evil, even when the differences between them aren't always clear. At worst, she will incite a war that could destroy both worlds. At best, she will not only lose her heart but her life and everyone she loves. Once the truth is out, however, there will be no going back. And she'll definitely wish she could.

"A welcomed surprise & enjoyment"
I wasn't sure if I would enjoy this book but high ratings from others suggested the writing and story would be good. While the first chapters were a little slow for me, it picked up steam and it was a pleasant surprise to me how much I did enjoy the Audible version. Ember is an 18 yo young woman trying to finish HS but unusual things happen around her. She is sent to an 'alternative' school to finish the last couple of months of school and there she meets Eli. Everything that seems to happen to her revolves around him in one way or another. Added to that is her realistic dreams where she meets Toren but she's convinced that isn't real. It isn't until the end of the story that Ember learns the truth about who and what everyone around her are and what she is. So much story material can't be contained in one book. A cliffhanger ending but I will definitely be reading the next book. Don't be skeptical, this is a very enjoyable book.
"Intriguing and enjoyable"
This book was fun and mysterious. Narration was good. I enjoyed it and I'm looking forward for the next book.
This review was written by Colleen McCormick. I now live near San Andreas, CA and have just discovered my love of the fantasy genre.
Yes, I would definitely recommend Darkness of Light. It's a very interesting and well written story. The characters are exceptionally believable and relatable. Stacey is an excellent storyteller with many twists and turns. Just when you think you have something figured out, you find out you don't!
The fun characters, especially the banter between Ember and Eli. Ember is a strong female character and I love that.
I enjoyed both Eli and Ember. I think Michelle did a wonderful job of bringing them to life.
There were many times I felt sad, especially when hearing about Ember's background. But I also laughed a lot at Ember's one-liners and quick wit.
I don't think you'll be disappointed by listening to this first installment. I can't wait for the next ones to be out.
"I WANT MORE!!! Totally Awsome"
When is Fire in the Darkness, book 2, coming to audible??? This is a fantastic start to a new series. I loved it. World building is creative and this book pulled me in from the very beginning. I can't wait for more Ember and Eli!
"should be titled, "Darkness and Frustration""
Over half of the dialogue dedicated to how warm and lusty he made her feel. This was even after he treated her like crap. There were many eye rolls . There were so many things stated but unexplaineded. I still don't understand the purpose of the 2nd male darting in and out of her dreams leaving the same cryptic message. The author finally started getting to the point around chp 23. I thought, "finally". But the ending was disappointing.
The narrator did well with the exception of the husky, sensual voice which remained throughout. I won't be getting the second book. Sorry.
"AWESOME beginning to a great new series!!!"
Darkness of Light had my attention from the first page until the very last! The characters were interesting and intriguing, and the story was so addictive that I never wanted to put it down! I can't wait to get my hands on the next book in this series! I highly recommend Darkness of Light for New Adult/Mature YA audiences! I highly recommend the audio book of this story! The narrator used different voices for each character, and she expressed a lot of emotion in her reading. She had me completely wrapped up in what she was saying, and I sincerely hope the author continues to offer this narrator's versions of the other books in this series!
I loved Ember, the main character in this story, because she seemed real. She wasn't perfect or completely confident. She had friends who were regular people with attitudes and who weren't just "pretty people." She had a smart sense of humor and stood up for herself. She could be any one of us...except for the special powers part. She was interesting even before that, though. I also loved that she adored her stepfather. Very few books give step parents a loving relationship with the main character.
No, but I will! I really thought she did a great job with this story!!!
If only I had time to do that! I did find myself trying to listen when I usually wouldn't have.
Love! Love! Love!!! :D
80% of my day my ear has a story running it. *LOL*
"enjoyable reading."
getting ready to see if the second book is out yet. there is a lot more to this adventure and I can't wait.
"I couldn't get past the abusive relationships!"
Main love interest was completely unlikable and abusive! I felt sick as I read how he treated Ember and all she could do was lust after him...it was disgusting. I did like the story and wanted to know how the series ended but stopped in the middle of book 3 because I could no longer take it. Bad language, abusive boyfriend, unlikable characters, explicit sex... I won't read another book by this author.
"Missing an ending."
The story was very interesting as far as it went , but ended with a tease. Just a set up for another book.
All of my reviews are on my blog audiobookreviewer dot com
"held my attention throughout"
Darkness of Light is the first book in a paranormal romance series which is classified as New Adult. The series consists of four books in total.
The main character, Ember Brycin, is a bit of an outsider due to her unusual appearance (she has two different colored eyes) and due to the fact that things tend to explode around her. She also has hallucinations, or that is what she assumes they are. After the latest explosion at her school, Ember is sent to a juvenile facility where she meets the mystifying Eli Dragen, whom she feels instantly attracted to.
Ember and Eli have this love/hate relationship going on which was quite entertaining. Eli was totally unpredictable and could change from bad ass, cocky biker boy to really quite charming, protective and helpful in seconds. The banter between Ember and Eli was fun. Dry humor, sarcastic comments and a heroine who can't help but say what she thinks.
The romance was clean and in my opinion, would have been suitable even for a younger age group. But there is the hint of a potential love triangle to be developed in the series, so who knows where this will go. In book one, there is nothing more than a few kisses.
For the majority of this book, Ember is trying to work out who and what she is. There were lots of clues to an otherworldly existence around her, but Ember was very slow on the uptake, a bit too naive, really. Therefore, the main action does not really start until about three quarters through the book, when things are finally revealed to her and Ember starts on a dangerous quest where she has no idea whom she can really trust.
Ember has two good friends at school and lives with her stepdad Michael. Her Mum was killed some years ago. Then there is Torin, who initially appears in Ember's dreams, the other candidate for the potential love triangle. All these characters were well developed and interesting. There was a good balance of romance, action and mystery.
The writing was flawless. It flowed well, was nicely paced and interlaced with lots of humor. It definitely held my attention throughout. It was a really good introduction to the fantasy world created by Stacey Marie Brown, and I am certainly interested enough in the plot and feel invested in the characters to want to get book two to find out how the story continues. Considering that I don't usually read any fantasy books that is saying a lot.
Michelle Sparks did an excellent job narrating. I hope she will continue as narrator for book 2 in the series. She really made Ember sound like an eighteen-year-old girl. Michelle Sparks was very good at expressing emotions. I would certainly listen to other audiobooks narrated by her. There were no issues with the production.
A definite recommendation for paranormal romance fans, maybe enjoyed more by YA/NA readers at the lower end of the age spectrum. Saying that, I am a very "mature" adult and I definitely enjoyed it.

[If this review helped, please press YES. Thanks!]
Didn't read in print.
Didn't have a favourite but as i continue i am sure I will.
This narrator Has read another book I have listen to and tbh her voice doe's start to annoy me because at the end of a sentence she tends to hold on to the last word.
At points in the story I did find myself getting pretty angry!
I would have liked to listen to book 2 but its not available so I ordered the kindle addition but i can't see myself reading it with all the other audible books on offer. Would defiantly recommend this book to someone who likes to be removed from reality....
"Good story, shame about the narrator"
I've tried to listen to this but am finding it impossible due to the narration. If you are ok listening to a whiny girl trying to be sexy and thoughtful, this will be no problem. She has terrible voice drag, all her words seem dragged out at moments they are actually needed to be speeded up, and the tone is the same whether worried, upset or excited.
The actual story does intrigue me, though there's a lot of 'what is going on?' - I'm half way through and I'm still no nearer to finding out.
But I would still like to find out, which must be a good thing story-wise so I'm off to find a hard copy instead

I should have known. She has been such a black eye for the tea parties. I don't expect to hear about in in the news ( since they probably hired her) I can't help thinking that if they trew her into the mix to delegitamize the birther theory, there must be something to it. I keep looking for nuggets in the news but can't find much.
I do now...
You do realize that some people really are crazy, right?
ping of interest
Orly Taitz is certainly headstrong, and she may be prone to making an error, major or minor depending upon your point of view, like most other people. To suggest in any way whatsoever that she is somehow psychotic and needs to be restrained with a straightjacket for exercising her right to free speech and petitioning the government for the purpose of redressing an apparent criminal wrong is far far beyond any reasonable criticism. Such talk amounts to the character assasination employed by the Bolshevik Communist Soviet Government to destroy a dissident's personal reputation, incarcerate the sane dissident in a Soviet Gulag insane asylum, and sometimes murder and disappear them with or without notification to the person's surviving family.
Orly Taitz was born into the Soviet nightmare, so she knows full well its capability for disinformation, subversion, and murder. While people may not like her exuberance and tenacity, they will be murderously foolhardy to lightly dismiss her concerns for the American freedoms and U.S. Constitution. She knows from personal experience what can happen when Marxists gain control of governments. Whether or not a person agrees with Orly Taitz in any given instance, that person owes a great degree of respect for her experience in the Soviet Union and consequent viewpoint in regard to American Constitutional freedoms.
If anyone here sees the need to suggest psychiatric care for persons exercising political free speech, they should perhaps focus on the people in the Obama Administration and the Democratic Party who are advocating what amounts to genocidal policies for redistribution of wealth, healthcare rationing under their own political management, racial bias, vote fraud, and worse. For real examples of people who need psychiatric care for the public welfare, consider how sane it was for Bill Ayers and his accomplices in the Weathermen domestic terrorist group to carry out their murderous bombings and their plans to overthrow the Constitutional Government and hand it over to the Soviets and Cubans to operate reeducation camps that would liquidate millions of American citizens who were of the wrong races, occupations, and political persuasions. Then take into account these same people are associated and affiliated with the people responsible for the Obama Administration policies from Obama on down.
You might want to ponder the question of whether the people who wish to destroy the reputation of Orly Taitz and deny her free speech are themselves afflicted with neurotic or psychotic behavior? Ask yourself, how same is it to adopt political and social policies from a society which murdered, massacred, deliberately starved to death, and otherwise killed tens of millions of himan beings for the sake of establishing a Marxist style utopian society?
Well said.
False premise. Nobody said she was crazy BECAUSE she excercised her rights. You are confused. You are acting as if one can't call a crazy person crazy if that crazy person is protesting. That's wrong. Once can be both crazy and a protester.
False premise. Nobody said she was crazy BECAUSE she excercised her rights. You are confused. You are acting as if one can't call a crazy person crazy if that crazy person is protesting. That's wrong. Once can be both crazy and a protester
That is exactly the kind of argument the Soviet KGB intelligence services used to defame and destroy the reputations of dissidents who were treated as political enemies. The Soviet Union first used a formal medical opinion to declare the insanity of the dissident, sane or not.
In your case, you publicly declare the insanity and mental illness of Orly Taitz, whether or not she is in fact perfeclty sane, without the benefit of a psychiatric examination or qualified medical opinion, faked or not. You are effectively digging yourself ever deeper into a hole of your own disrepute. It has been noted by mental health professionals that an inability to recognize when doing the same act over and over and over again with the same negative results is a possible indicator of mild neurotic or psychotic mental illness. How would you like it if your sanity and right to freedom outside of a straightjacket and insane asylum were brought into question after you questioned the mental health of Orly Taitz?

USSR: Dissent
21 August 1970
(See end for Summary)
Two Western news agencies have reported yet another
instance of a Soviet citizen committed to an insane asylum
for exercizing the rights of freedom of speech and press
as guaranteed in Article 125 of the Soviet Constitution.
According to the sources, 19-year-old Olga Ioffe was committed
to a psychiatric institute yesterday after being charged
with anti-Soviet agitation. [1] Her commitment was the result
of a psychiatric examination that concluded she was suffering
from chronic schizophrenia. By now, the practice of committing
persons to an insane asylum because their expressed views
differ from official policy or because they criticize aspects
of the Soviet system is, unfortunately, becoming standard
(1) Reuter and AFP, 21 August 1970. Reuter and The Chronicle of
Current Events, No. 11, 31 December 1969, give Miss Ioffe1s
age as 19 while AFP lists it as 20.
[page 2]
Vladimir Bukovsky, another young dissident and former
student at Moscow University who s??t six years in prisons,
insane asylums and concentration camps for making critical
speeches at Komsomol meetings, protesting against the trial
of the writers Andrei Sinyavsky and Yuli Daniel and supporting
Yuri Galanskov and Aleksei Dobrovolsky at the time of
their trial three years ago, recently commented, on this practice to
to a Western correspondent:
As a matter of fact, the inmates, the patients of
this hospital [the Leningrad special psychiatric
hospital] are prisoners, people who committed such
actions which are considered as crimes from the
point of view of the authorities but which do not
exist as crimes from the point of view of the Law.
And in order to isolate them somehow, in order to
punish them somehow, these people are being
declared Insane and kept in the ward of the
psychiatric hospital...to such hospitals are sent
people who basically cannot be punished, because
there is nothing they can be punished for, and
[psychiatric] hospitals are just able to get rid
of them, and take them away from sight at the
same time. [2]
This is the exact treatment now given Miss Ioffe.
The nature of her" "crime" is a concern that Stalinism and
the well-known Stalinist type of tyranny not be re-introduced
by the present Soviet leadership. Her activities to this effect
began in 1966 when she and another student of the No. 16 special
language school in Moscow, Irina Kaplun, together with nine
other pupils, all under 16 years of age, pasted up leaflets which
stated, "there must be no repetition of the Stalin period,
everything depends on us." [3] Three hundred of these leaflets
were posted and sent to private persons in Moscow. The KGB soon
interrogated the girls at sessions lasting from four to six hours,
during which time they were asked the names of the adults
behind their activity and told: "'If you think that some things
in our country are not quite as they should be, then you ought
to come and see us at the KGB and talk it over with us.'" [4]

correspondent William Cole, telecast in the United States
on 28 July 1970.

Irina Kaplun was told that "'she ought to be thankful that
her uncle [5] had been rehabilitated at all, they [the Soviet
authorities] might well not have done it.'" [6] Perhaps due
to their age, they were not subjected to legal proceedings
although two of them were expelled from the Komsomol, one
from the school, and all were given reprimands with entries
in their personal records. Similar action was also taken
against their teachers.
Last year, Kaplun and Ioffe, both of whom were continuing
their education at Moscow University, were preparing a protest
directed against the celebration of Stalin's ninetieth birthday
[21 December 1969]. On the 1st of December, six Moscow
apartments were searched by the authorities and Kaplun and Ioffe
were arrested. During the search of the latter's apartment
and in her presence, several samizdat texts as well as copies
of her own poetry, various papers, verses written by her
father, Yu. M. Ioffe, and a typewriter were confiscated. [7]
Escorted by ten men, she was taken in for questioning and
officially placed under arrest at nine o'clock that evening.
Four days later, another 19-year-old student, Valeria Novodvorskaya,
was also arrested for distributing leaflets, the contents of
which were a poem criticizing the Communist Party for the
evil it perpetrated on the country and people of the Soviet
Union. [8] She was also charged with anti-Soviet agitation and
propaganda (Article 70 of the RSFSR Criminal Code) and committed
by a Moscow court, the proceedings of which took place without
her knowledge, to the special psychiatric ward in Kazan prison.
This is very likely also the case with Olga Ioffe and probably
with Irina Kaplun.
Although Olga Ioffe, as well as Irina Kaplun and Valeria
Novodvorskaya were acting as individuals rather than as part
of a well-organized protest group, their activities are part
of the democratic movement in the Soviet Union which, although
as yet only a loose conglomerate of persons who protest against

In the words of Pyotr Yakir, a prominent dissident and
member of the Action Group for the Defense of Civil Rights
in the Soviet Union:
We see that they arrest all of us because we are
unpleasant people to the authorities and we
criticize them. The problem is, however, that
one should never go back. If we are not here,
there will be others, and there are many of
them already now, many young people. And all
people, all thinking people in the Soviet Union,
they will never return to what has been before.
They will be beaten, they will be killed, but
despite this the people will think differently. [9]

Again, the false premise is yours. Your postion is based on the notion that Orly can't REALLY be crazy because she's political. Of course that's silly. She can be both. If she is both, then calling her crazy is just being accurate.
Not everyone with a fringe belief is crazy. But some are. Orly is one of them. She's nuts. She really is.

During the prolonged downturn, manufacturers grew accustomed to doing business in survival mode. Nonetheless, long-term drivers of deals in the segment, such as globalisation and consolidation, are structural rather than cyclical. Industrial Manufacturing companies use M&A as a means to rationalise operations, focusing on core activities and assets through acquisitions, divestitures, carve-outs, privatisation and other transactions. At an industry level consolidation helps the sector improve its financial strength, increase negotiating power with customers and suppliers, and boost capacity utilisation.
Fundamentals are ripe for a recovery (albeit gradual) in the deal environment. In many markets, credit is loosening, equity markets are advancing, and economic growth rates are stabilising. As economic recovery strengthens, stakeholders will be asking companies how they intend to grow. Deal making might offer the leverage industrial manufacturing companies need to push ahead of the competition.
To make the right deal, manufacturers must consider how two years of economic contraction have altered the balance of supply and demand and elevated the importance of due diligence. Climate change, commodity prices, pension plan structures, changing tax laws, company culture, and the role of human resources must be factored into today's due diligence process.
Cash conservation, cost containment, and margin expansion remain relevant considerations. With valuations depressed relative to historical levels, companies with strong balance sheets and robust cash reserves are in the best position for strategic M&A. For strategic buyers with the ability to manoeuvre in a challenging environment, M&A will offer the best way to expand into new markets, innovate, or broaden products and capabilities when their peers may be struggling to improve fundamentals.
Our quarterly M&A publication, Assembling Value, provides analysis of global merger and acquisition activity in the industrial manufacturing industry. Each edition includes a review of overall deal activity for the quarter and year-to-date and a summary of large deals.
How PwC can help you
At PwC we provide a full range of transaction services, assisting on acquisitions, divestitures, carve-outs and many other transactions. Whatever your requirement – be it Strategy, Financial Due Diligence, Private Equity, Corporate Finance, Technical Accounting, Reporting and Auditing, M&A pre- and post–transaction services, international tax planning or risk management – we have a team in place to assist you. We also provide cost effective solutions to help emerging players from the BRIC countries understand new manufacturing markets, barriers and risk of entry, and challenges of doing business in new markets.

David Brudnoy
|David Brudnoy
|June 5, 1940
Minneapolis, Minnesota
|December 9, 2004
(aged 64)
Boston, Massachusetts
|Talk radio host
David Brudnoy (June 5, 1940 – December 9, 2004) was an American talk radio host in Boston from 1976 to 2004. His radio talk show aired on WBZ radio. He was known for espousing his libertarian views on a wide range of political issues, in a manner that was courteous. Thanks to WBZ's wide signal reach, he gained a following from across the United States as well as Canada. On December 9, 2004, he succumbed to Merkel cell carcinoma after it had metastasized to his lungs and kidneys.
Background, education and first career[edit]
Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States, to a Jewish family, David Barry Brudnoy was the only child of Doris and Harry Brudnoy. Harry was a dentist in the Minneapolis area, a profession he maintained for over 50 years.[1] During his youth, David was known to be precocious, and in addition to reading a lot, he enjoyed collecting stamps.[2] He was also interested in history, and thanks to the influence of his Aunt Kathie, with whom he was close for all of his life, he became interested in movies; he often attended them with her.[3] Years later, David Brudnoy would become known for his work as a film critic, and he remarked in his autobiography that his aunt had undoubtedly contributed to his success by taking him to so many films.
Although he did not articulate it at the time, he was also aware of certain homosexual attractions.[4] Years later, he would detail the confusion he felt, discussing his teenage and college years in his 1997 book, Life Is Not a Rehearsal. During his childhood, David and his family briefly lived in Macon, Georgia and San Antonio, Texas; his father had enlisted in the Army Reserves and the moves were so that he could be near army bases.[5] David first attended college in 1958, receiving a BA from Yale in New Haven. He also received M.A.s from Harvard and Brandeis, and a Ph.D. from Brandeis, focusing on East Asian studies and history.[6] He received an honorary doctorate from Emerson College in 1996.[7]
As a professor, Brudnoy taught classes or was a guest lecturer at many major colleges and universities throughout Boston and New England, as well as in Texas: Boston University, Boston College, Northeastern University, Merrimack College, University of Rhode Island, Kennedy School of Government at Harvard, as well as Texas Southern University.[8] He was respected as an educator: student evaluations for his courses at B.U. indicate that they were very well received, and former students were among those who wrote eloquent tributes to him when he died.[9] According to those students, he was such a devoted educator that even as he was dying, he made certain to finish grading their term papers.[10]
Broadcast career[edit]
Brudnoy began a career in broadcast commentary in 1971 on Boston's local PBS television station, WGBH-TV.
In 1976, David Brudnoy took over as host of his friend Avi Nelson's radio show on WHDH, in the midst of the city's unrest over forced busing and desegregation in schools. He took to the job with ease, and increasingly gained popularity. From 1981 to 1986, he appeared on former Top 40 station WRKO, which was now news and talk, before moving to local stalwart WBZ. The top-rated talk radio host in New England, he appeared in a regular weekday evening slot until his retirement. At the end of his career, Brudnoy was, according to WBZ Radio's promotional materials, derived from Arbitron ratings, among the most-listened-to evening talk hosts in the United States.[11]
Over the years, Brudnoy also appeared as a news commentator and host on local TV stations besides WGBH, including WCVB-TV (ABC), WNAC-TV, and WBZ-TV (CBS). He also appeared nationally on the CBS Morning News. He wrote movie reviews for Boston magazine and local community newspapers. During the 1970s he wrote articles for the National Review, and befriended its editor William F. Buckley.[12] He also wrote for The Alternative (later known as The American Prospect) in the early 1970s, but quit because of the editor's unwillingness to adopt a more liberal position on gay rights.[13] His articles have appeared in The New York Times, The New Republic, and the Saturday Evening Post.
In 1990, his WBZ show was canceled in favor of a less expensive syndicated show,[14] but a mass public response, including a letter writing campaign sponsored by The Boston Globe, helped lead to his quick return to the station's lineup.[15]
Brudnoy's popularity escalated him into the Boston media elite, and he was the host of numerous social gatherings at his upscale Back Bay apartment, mixing students, media personalities, and politicians. After his bout with AIDS, Brudnoy began broadcasting from his apartment four nights out of five, welcoming his radio guests into his home and eagerly offering them cocktails.[16]
When he returned to the air in early January 1995, after his first battle with HIV/AIDS kept him off the air for ten weeks, Boston Mayor Thomas Menino formally declared January 5 as "David Brudnoy Day" due to his popularity.[15]
Brudnoy was awarded the Freedom of Speech Award from the National Association of Radio Talk Show Hosts, and nominated for the "Personality of the Year" Marconi Award, both in 1997.
In 2001, he celebrated his 25th anniversary on the air.[17]
Politics and sensibilities[edit]
Brudnoy's strongly libertarian opinions were expressed with wit and thoughtfulness. He described his own manner as "less ideological and more empathic", in contrast to more recent figures of conservative talk radio. Many regard him as a unique radio host who was effective at injecting a different perspective into the political dialogue rather than merely cultivating a particular political segment of the population.
His non-partisan, thoughtful way of discussing issues helped him gain a large following despite being based in a staunchly Democratic region. Political figures from both ends of the spectrum have praised him for his contributions to the local and national dialogue. Among those who eulogized him when he died were liberals like Senator Edward M. Kennedy who said that David was uniquely fair to his guests. "He couldn't care less about your party label, as long as you knew what you were talking about, because he always did"; and conservatives like then-Governor Mitt Romney who said that Brudnoy was "... a friend to hundreds of thousands of people, most of whom he never even saw in person . . . David has left us all a huge inheritance. It's an inheritance rich in tolerance, in faith, in the greatness of humanity, in respect for all people..."[18]
In 2000, Brudnoy declared himself a member of the Libertarian Party.
Although his father Harry was a practicing Jew and a member of a Minneapolis synagogue,[1] David Brudnoy was an agnostic who disliked organized religion and was critical of religions that tried to impose their views on others. He did have a bar mitzvah in May 1953,[19] but he was already becoming skeptical of religion and recalled that event as the last time he followed his religious traditions. Years later, he wrote several opinion pieces about his opposition to religious dogmatism. But on the other hand, he also wrote favorably about the good that the church was capable of doing. In one piece, he stated that "...the church itself, for Catholics and non-Catholics alike, is a bulwark of our society. Its severely overburdened clergy are crucial to the development of our youths, to comforting our elders, and to tending our sick."[20]
But while he was a skeptic about the tenets of organized religion, during his late-2004 bout of serious illness he admitted he had prayed in various ways,[21] including with a Catholic priest who was a friend of his; and he said that he had discussed religion with several of his Jewish friends, including political commentator Jon Keller and conservative newspaper columnist Jeff Jacoby.[12] But he said he did not expect to go to either a Heaven or a Hell.
Brudnoy came to realize that he was homosexual early in life but successfully hid the fact for many years. While at Texas Southern, he "adopted" a young, recently single mother, Patricia Kennedy, and for many years Brudnoy and Kennedy enjoyed a relationship of mutual convenience, with Brudnoy able to use Kennedy as a cover for his homosexuality, and in return serving as a surrogate father to her two young children. Brudnoy did not come out to his father and stepmother until his illness in 1994; his father Harry was 88 years old when Brudnoy finally phoned him to give him the news and also discuss the health crisis he was undergoing. David was pleasantly surprised that his parents were supportive.[22] Brudnoy had previously come out to his aunt and uncle after they lost a son (also homosexual) to AIDS.[23]
Brudnoy came out publicly in 1994, after returning from hospitalization to overcome his long-hidden fight with AIDS. Having attracted a largely conservative audience based on his political views, traditional anti-homosexual conservatives rejected him[citation needed], though others admired him for his courage. Despite the controversy, his ratings reportedly did not suffer as a result. The controversy was rekindled somewhat after the release in 1997 of his autobiography, Life Is Not a Rehearsal, in which he described a history of sexual excesses. Brudnoy did not attempt to mask his sexuality during his adult life, but also made no direct indications of it; it was well-known among his colleagues in broadcasting long before he spoke publicly about it. His closest and oldest friend was psychologist Dr. Ward Cromer, with whom he took dozens of trips abroad, and who was incorrectly assumed by many to be Brudnoy's sexual partner. Neither of them used that phraseology to describe their relationship, preferring a more accurate title of "best friend". When Brudnoy died, it was Cromer who became executor of his estate.[24]
Brudnoy was diagnosed with HIV/AIDS in 1988, but kept his treatment a secret until his condition became serious after he contracted pneumonia in 1994. He was absent from public life for some time to fight the disease. Comatose and near death at one point, he eventually returned to reasonable health. It was at that time, in order to conserve his strength, that he broadcast his show from his apartment in the Back Bay section of Boston during part of 1994.[16] Once he was able to return to the air, Brudnoy announced the creation of a fund to fight AIDS. His illness inspired him to publish a memoir, Life is not a Rehearsal (ISBN 0-571-19933-X), in 1997. At the time, it was not a best-seller, but after he died, it became a collector's item, since his publisher had originally let it go out of print and now many of his fans wanted copies of it.[25]
In September 2003, he was diagnosed with Merkel cell carcinoma, a rare form of skin cancer. After hospitalization and treatment, including another period of being considered near death, the cancer went into apparent remission, and Brudnoy returned to work, with a strained voice, in March 2004. However, in November 2004, doctors discovered that cancer had spread into his lungs and kidneys, forcing him to undergo dialysis in addition to cancer treatment.
Brudnoy checked into Massachusetts General Hospital on December 3, 2004. On December 8, Brudnoy made his last radio appearance on his show via a deathbed interview with WBZ reporter Gary LaPierre.[26] The following day, Brudnoy ordered his doctors to remove all artificial life support systems, leaving him only with oxygen, morphine, and minimal food. He died hours after having the support removed, on December 9, 2004.
After a few days of on-air remembrance, Brudnoy's time slot was assigned to Paul Sullivan, who had previously taken over two hours of Brudnoy's shift when Brudnoy's illness necessitated reducing his show from five hours to three. Sullivan too would die of cancer, on September 9, 2007.
A public memorial was held for Brudnoy on February 27, 2005, at the Cutler Majestic Theater in Boston, arranged by his WBZ colleagues and Emerson College (which had previously awarded him an honorary doctorate). The memorial service included the participation of the brothers of the Phi Alpha Tau fraternity of Emerson College whom Brudnoy had mentored.[27]

Mosinee, a small central Wisconsin town, received some stellar good news from Wausau Paper. A few months after another local business, SNE Enterprises announced the layoff of over 500 workers, the 400 employees at the paper mill should have security with their jobs.
In an article written by Jeff Starck from the Wausau Daily Herald, the good news came during the company's annual shareholder meeting in Wausau.
About 70 people, including board members and shareholders, attended Wausau Paper's annual shareholder meeting Thursday at the Jefferson Street Inn in Wausau. There they heard about a $27 million upgrade at a company plant in Minnesota that will allow the Mosinee mill to change its focus and produce paper for years to come, company spokesman Perry Grueber said.
It was the first meeting of shareholders since Wausau Paper sold its printing- and writing-paper division in January and shuttered its mill north of Wausau in February, throwing 400 Brokaw employees out of work.
The meeting included the election of two paper industry executives hand-picked by a New York-based hedge fund that is one of the largest stockholders of the company.
Starck reported that company officials plan to focus on the expanding tissue, food, industrial, and coated paper markets.
"We have a high degree of confidence in our business strategy to grow the business after four years of constant restructuring," Grueber said of the company's overall business plan.
Tensions were high a few years ago because the Mosinee mill wasn't able to produce enough masking and carton tape to meet demand. So to diversify, Wausau Paper converted some equipment in Brainerd, Minnesota into a specialty machine that produces tape, along with food and industrial paper.
[toggle state="closed" title="Click for Related Articles"]
The Brainerd upgrade will allow Mosinee workers to keep busy around the clock to meet the growing demand for coated paper, and paper such as carryout bags, wrappers and labels for the food industry, Grueber said.
Starboard Value LP, a New York investment advising company, made several demands of Wausau Paper since becoming a dominant stockholder in the company last year, including the addition of two new members of Starboard's choosing to the company's board of directors.
Wausau Paper agreed to nominate former Georgia-Pacific officials Michael Burandt and Charles Hodges, both of whom were elected Thursday by shareholders. The two men also will serve on a new four-person advisory committee that will analyze the company's strategic planning.
"They have deep industry experience and are very welcome additions to the company," Grueber said.
