Murphy's Plumbing
Listen (MP3)
Listen (RealAudio)
If you're having trouble with your plumbing
And it's ten below.
If your toilet's constantly running
Or your drains are slow.
TR: Yeah. This isJ.J. Murphy. People look down their noses at plumbers. Don't invite us to their dinner parties. Until somebody flushes a toilet and something surprising happens. (FLUSH, TOILET BACKS UP) Gracious livingain't so gracious when sewage happens, so the plumber is a man you want to stay on the good side of.
If the water's leaking through the ceiling
When you fill your tub.
If you flush and get an awful feeling
The water's coming up. (FLUSH. TR: Oh oh.....look out.)
Don't despair, just call up Murphy Plumbing
No job too big or small. (FN: Check the overflow tank.)
We'll be there to handle all your problems
Murphy's of St. Paul. (PLUNGER PLUNGES THREE TIMES. DRAINS. TR: Got it.)

My ex once expressed interest in going to a place, apparently it was all kitted out with the gear, sex swings and bondage devices, and along with the usual standard toys it had some fairly exotic stuff. The idea was that you and your partner could rent a room and book out what ever gear you need. I think her idea was to try some of the stuff out before we bought it, as we had wasted money on stuff that turned out to be more gimmicky that anything else.
That place had a swingers club downstairs, but it creeped her out.

People who have experienced maltreatment as children are twice as likely to develop both multiple and long-lasting depressive episodes as those without a history of childhood maltreatment, according to a new study. The research, led by a team at King's College London Institute of Psychiatry, also found that maltreated individuals are more likely to respond poorly to pharmacological and psychological treatment for depression. The results, published today in the American Journal of Psychiatry, have emerged from a combined analysis of 16 epidemiological studies involving more than 20,000 participants and of 10 clinical trials involving more than 3,000 participants. Depression ranks among the most common psychiatric disorders worldwide, with one in ten children exposed to maltreatment including psychological, physical or sexual abuse or neglect. By 2020, depression is predicted to be the second leading contributor to the global burden of disease across all ages, according to the World Health Organisation. The societal impact of depression is largely accounted for by individuals who develop multiple and long-lasting depressive episodes. Previous research has shown that maltreated individuals are more likely to show abnormalities in biological systems sensitive to psychological stress – such as the brain, the endocrine, and the immune system – both in childhood and in adult life, which could have important clinical implications. Dr Andrea Danese, senior investigator of the study at King's says: 'Identifying those at risk of multiple and long-lasting depressive episodes is crucial from a public health perspective. The results indicate that childhood maltreatment is associated both with an increased risk of developing recurrent and persistent episodes of depression, and with an increased risk of responding poorly to treatment. 'Therefore prevention and early therapeutic interventions targeting childhood maltreatment could prove vital in helping prevent the major health burden owing to depression. Knowing that individuals with a history of maltreatment won't respond as well to treatment may also be valuable for clinicians in determining patients' prognosis.' Dr Danese continues: 'The biological abnormalities associated with childhood maltreatment could potentially explain why individuals with a history of maltreatment respond poorly to treatment for depression.' Individuals with a history of maltreatment are at elevated risk of mental illness throughout their lives. However, in order to understand how early experiences bring about mental illness, future research should explore biological changes associated with maltreatment before accumulation of multiple depressive episodes. Dr Rudolf Uher, co-author of the paper, says: 'Our study has shown that antidepressant medication, psychological treatment and the combination of the two are less effective in those who have a history of childhood maltreatment. Whilst we still do not know exactly what type of treatment may improve their care, it may be that new treatments based on the biological vulnerabilities associated with childhood maltreatment could prove an exciting avenue for research.' The research was supported by the MRC Social, Genetic & Developmental Psychiatry Centre (SGDP), and the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, both at the Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London. The authors are funded by the National Alliance for Research on Schizophrenia and Depression (NARSAD/Brain and Behavior Research Fund, USA), the Italian Ministry of University and Scientific Research, and the European Commission.

Krrb is now part of the Apartment Therapy family! Check out the Marketplace for an even wider selection of furnishings and home decor.
Visit the Apartment Therapy Marketplace »
Megan Meany, television host and trend reporter, is a secondhand hobbyist and home decorator. She spends her days scouring flea markets, antique shops and local classifieds for furniture she can rehab. She doesn't have to tell you that a fresh coat of paint can make all the difference. But before you whip out your paint brushes, it's important to get rid of the existing layers of paint. We got a lesson on paint stripping from Megan. Catch more of Megan on her Youtube channel MeganMeanyLifestyle, on her blog Megan's Must Haves and get one of her refurbished pieces for sale on her Krrb corner.
Keep in mind that if you're stripping an item that was painted before 1960, it has the potential of being lead paint. So pick up a lead testing kit from the hardware store and follow all precautions.

Very nice, spacious house. Beds were extremely comfortable. My mother even took pictures of the master closet for future reference. My husband and I look forward to hopefully returning.
Large home with room for plenty of people. Large kitchen and living area. Located in a great spot close to beautiful Ocean Point. Great place for a family reunion and a pretty good deal for the money. Our 2nd time there and we will probably be back again.
Our family was already excited to gather at this rental home to create new holiday memories based on the detailed listing, which clearly looked as though it was a great value and would meet all of our needs. Then we arrived to what felt more comfortable and homey than we had ever imagined. From the well equipped kitchen where we could gather to make amazing meals, to nostalgic board games stocked in the dining area, the home had what we felt were very thoughtful touches. It felt well cared for and as much as we loved venturing out to see the beautiful ocean views and quaint shops just minutes away, we were just as happy to indulge in a few extra minutes of restful sleep in the comfortable beds and laugh as we talked for hours near the warm stove. We appreciate the rapport we had with the owners and care takers and will rave about our experience there to all we know for a long time to come.
My family and I enjoyed staying at your home very much. With 2 young children there was more than enough space for them let loose. Comfortable, clean and spacious . . . we would definitely recommend your home to friends and family and hope to return next year for Pumpkinfest!
We had a wonderful stay at this home with our family. The house was very spacious and provided all the amenities we needed. It's location is a short drive to the ocean and a short drive to town. We have been to Boothbay many times and will definitely be back! I would highly recommend this vacation rental!
Beautiful home, simply decorated. Bedrooms are comfortable and spacious! Very clean, we have lots of fun playing ping pong and air hockey. Lots of hug windows for sunlight and breezes. Deer and Wild Turkey came thru yard. Location is great! Thanks!
Close to Boothbay Harbor which is a very popular tourist location with whale watching, fishing boats, boat trips to nearby islands. Boothbay Harbor is a thriving Harbor town with plenty of excellent places to eat in or dine al fresco.
Plenty of activities for the children such as the aquarium on Southport Island, wonderful clean beaches at Pemaquid as well as Southport.
Children's playground in Boothbay and Boothbay Railway has a steam railway with train rides and museum which is a great day out for the children. The Maine Botanical gardens are nearby and wonderful woodland walks are all available just on the doorstep. Turn right out of the driveway and a circular walk route takes you to the Boothbay Shores.
Damariscotta and Wiscasset are local towns well worth a visit, with many restaurants/cafes and antiques and gift shops worth browsing. Camden is little further away but is another town well worth visiting.

WR Hambrecht Lowers FEI to Hold
FEI Co. (FEIC ) cut its second-quarter guidance. WR Hambrecht downgraded the stock to hold from buy on the news.
Analyst John Roy tells Standard & Poor's MarketScope the downgrade is based on its second-quarter shortfall and newly announced restructuring. He thinks backorders are at record high levels. He wonders when and at what price the product will ship.
Roy cut his 9-cents second-quarter earnings per share estimate to breakeven, which includes $15 million reorganization charges and $3 million in savings from plant closures. He cut his $118.5 million revenue estimate to $110.5 million to reflect an estimated $18 million in sales slipping into the second half of the year.
He thinks a new focus on nanotech customers and its realignment may have a long-term impact, but questions remain around this. He is hoping for details on that and backlog orders on the Aug. 3 conference call.

New Release Round-Up 06-23-17
PRINCE - Purple Rain - Warner Bros
Purple Rain remains one of history's most important, indisputable, and influential albums, but you've never heard it like this before. Purple Rain Deluxe boasts the official 2015 Paisley Park Remaster of the original tapes overseen by Prince himself in addition to a new "From The Vault & Previously Unreleased" disc with 11 unheard gems from the storied vault. This is Prince's final word on his definitive masterpiece. If you've never experienced Purple Rain, the 2-CD Deluxe Edition is the best place to start. It features both the 2015 Paisley Park Remaster as well as "From The Vault & Previously Unreleased." It's the perfect gateway into the world of Prince and Purple Rain.
JEFF TWEEDY - Together At Last - Anti
Together At Last is a new album by songwriter and guitarist Jeff Tweedy. It features the Wilco bandleader performing eleven of his own songs, culled from the Wilco catalog as well as from side-projects Loose Fur and Golden Smog, in a solo acoustic setting. Recorded at Tweedy's Chicago recording studio The Loft, Together At Last showcases Tweedy's accomplished and intricate guitar playing and his expressive, plaintive voice, and while audiences have experienced Tweedy live onstage as a solo performer for years, this is the first studio recording of its kind for the acclaimed musician.
JESSICA HERNANDEZ & THE DELTAS - Telephone - Instant Records
The Detroit band made their Instant Records debut with 2013's DEMONS and 2014's SECRET EVIL. Hernandez, a second generation Cuban and Mexican-American, felt it her duty to further explore her own Hispanic heritage on The Deltas' sophomore recording. Personal and provocative, Telephone / Telefono is a milestone achievement for the band known for their soundclash of Goth pop, Latin rock, psychedelic surf, punk cabaret, dirty dancehall, and Hernandez's vocal power.
Album is available on vinyl and in Spanish as part of a Double LP Set.
KING GIZZARD & THE LIZARD WIZARD - Murder Of The Universe - ATO Records
A concept album to end all concepts, Murder Of The Universe is the new collection by head-bending psychedelicists King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. Murder Of The Universe is a face-melting musical assault concerned with the downfall of man, the death of the planet.... the murder of the whole goddamn universe. A disorientating experience, the album hinges on three distinct chapters that rise from larval beds, and whose lyrics should be carved in stone, squeezed from moss, discovered in ancient runes. And all the while a passing cast of characters imbue the tale with both human and non-human emotions.
BONE THUGS - New Waves - Ent. One Music
Bone Thugs and harmony are one of the best-selling rap groups of all time. Their Grammy® nominated album "E 199 Eternal" has sold over 8 million copies and they have 5 platinum albums to their credit. They have sold over 20 million albums worldwide and are the only group to have recorded with Eazy E, 2 Pac, Notorious B.I.G and Big Pun while they were still alive. They've had 10 #1 Billboard R&B singles and MTV called them the most melodic hip hop group of all time. Their own label MO THUGZ Records was extremely successful launching platinum solo albums by Krayzie Bone and Bizzy Bone. Their most recent album "UNI5: The World's Enemy" was released on Warner Bros/Reprise in 2010, debuting #14 on the Billboard Top 200 album chart. Bone Thugs "New Waves" is the proper follow up to "UNI5: The World's Enemy". Featuring the recorded reunion of Bizzy and Krayzie Bone, the album also includes performances from all the member of Bone Thugs and harmony. The album features melodic classics that all the Bone Thugs and Harmony fans love. The first 2 singles are homeruns. "Coming Home" featuring Stephen Marley and "I Wish Heaven Had A Cellphone" featuring Tank.
THE DESLONDES - Hurry Home - New West Records
The Deslondes are a five-piece band from New Orleans. In the time between the release of their self-titled debut and new sophomore album, Hurry Home, The Deslondes have toured the world and drawn critical acclaim for their studied and inventive take on New Orleans country and R&B. Hurry Home represents a sonic shift from the country-folk of their debut to a sometimes-psychedelic, electrified gospel-soul sound, with a stronger emphasis on organ and electric guitar. The band split up songwriting and lead vocal duties among its five members, continuing its democratic ethos and musical versatility. The sound may continue to draw comparisons to the country-funkiness of The Band, but The Deslondes were equally inspired by the sound of early Sun Records, the punchy rock and roll of VU-era Velvet Underground and the experimental pop of Joe Meek. Perhaps most importantly, Hurry Home is the sound of a band that understands the history of American music, but is deftly finding their own contemporary approach.
MONKS - Hamburg Recordings 1967 - Third Man Records
The Monks – a strange, rare group with a story that sounds like a drunk friend's generous hyperbole. A group of American G.I.s stationed in Germany on the precipice of Western cultural revolution starts playing music loosely connected to the rock n' roll craze, contrastingly incorporating a critical and often offensive avant-garde edge. Nothing was off limits — screeching vocals, dark aesthetics, staccato-strummed banjo, sardonic lyricism, critiques of the Vietnam War and full monk costuming down to the tonsure. When viewed on the whole, it seems like an art school student's senior thesis on what the craze means and its future possibilities. Due in large part to original Polydor vinyl collectability and years in the word-of-mouth hype machine, their legend and cult status has steadily blossomed since their last shows in 1967. Fast forward to 2017, the crew at Third Man, already huge fans, are presented with an honest-to-God treasure trove of original Monks photos, newspaper clippings, business cards, letterhead, contracts, postcards and, yes, analog tapes, containing trailblazing, wild compositions completely unheard by public ears. "I'm Watching You" would have been recorded on February 28th, 1967 at the same sessions that would produce the Monks' final single "Love Can Tame the Wild" b/w "He Went Down to the Sea." The remaining four songs were recorded after hours in the Top Ten Club later that year, just prior to the break-up of the band. These songs have been unreleased for 50 years and are quite possibly the last music left to be heard by this legendary band.
SOULWAX - From Deewee - PIAS America
2017 studio album. After a period of extensive rehearsals and a level of planning to befit such a huge feat, From Deewee was recorded with the full touring band in one take at the Dewaele brother's DEEWEE Studio in Ghent, Belgium on February 7, 2017. PIAS. Look out for the Indie Exclusive Limited Edition Black and White 2LP.
For more information on these and other releases out this week, check out our New Releases charts by week section and don't forget that many of these titles are also available on vinyl.
New Release Round-Up 06-16-17
JASON ISBELL AND THE 400 UNIT - The Nashville Sound - Southeastern Records
Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, guitarist Jason Isbell and his mighty band, The 400 Unit, have announced the June 16th release of the highly anticipated new album, The Nashville Sound. The Nashville Sound is the follow up to 2015's critically acclaimed Something More Than Free, which won two Grammy Awards (Best Americana Album & Best American Roots Song "24 Frames") and two Americana Music Association Awards (Album of The Year & Song of The Year, "24 Frames"). Without exaggeration, Jason Isbell has become one of the most respected and celebrated songwriters of his generation. He possesses an incredible penchant for identifying and articulating some of the deepest, yet simplest, human emotions, and turning them into beautiful poetry through song. Isbell sings of the everyday human condition with heartfelt, and sometimes brutal honesty, and the new album is no exception. The album will be available for a limited time at an Indie Exclusive Low Price and also as an Indie Exclusive Limited Edition LP + Songbook.
LORDE - Melodrama - Republic
Following Lorde's highly-anticipated return with the new single Green Light, the singer releases her second full-length album Melodrama via LAVA/Republic Records. Melodrama includes the brand new track Liability, produced by Lorde and Jack Antonoff, and the current single Green Light, produced by Lorde, Jack Antonoff, and Frank Dukes. Green Light immediately launched the GRAMMY® Award-winning singer to the top worldwide trending topic on Facebook and Twitter, amassing an incredible 2 billion impressions on Twitter alone within its first 24 hours. Rolling Stone praised her return single as a reflection of her own emerging adulthood and The FADER declared the track as a true pop anthem made for both earbud strutting and the club. Pitchfork named Green Light best new track, concluding the euphoria of Green Light is a new look for this 20-year-old who first appeared as a shadowy teenaged mystic. She doles it out carefully, true to her inability to find closure. But when it hits, she is radiant.
STEVE EARLE & THE DUKES - So You Wanna Be An Outlaw - Warner Bros
So You Wanna Be An Outlaw, Steve Earle's first album for Warner Bros. Records since 1997's El Corazón, explores his country songwriting roots and features collaborations with Willie Nelson, Johnny Bush, and Miranda Lambert. "There's nothing 'retro' about this record," Earle says. "I'm just acknowledging where I'm coming from." So You Wannabe an Outlaw is the first recording he has made in Austin, TX. Earle has lived in New York City for the past decade. "Look, I'm always gonna be a Texan, no matter what I do," he says. "And I'm always going to be somebody who learned their craft in Nashville. It's who I am."
RIDE - Weather Diaries - Wichita Records
Ride's first album in over twenty years, Weather Diaries, is released via Wichita Recordings. The album was produced by legendary DJ, producer and remixer Erol Alkan, and is packed with all the classic elements that made Ride one of the defining bands of the early 90s. Trembling distortion, beautiful harmonies, pounding rhythms, shimmering soundscapes and great songwriting all combine to make an album thats ambitious in scope, timeless and thoroughly addictive. The album will be released through Wichita Recordings and sees the band reunited with label co-founders Mark Bowen and Dick Green, who worked with Ride during the bands early years on Creation Records. It also brings the band back together with mixer Alan Moulder (Arctic Monkeys, Smashing Pumpkins, The Killers) who mixed their seminal 1990 album Nowhere and produced its follow up Going Blank Again.
THE DRUMS - Abysmal Thoughts - Anti
The Drums are a four-piece indie pop band from Brooklyn, NY. Jonny Pierce is the main founding member, as well as the singer, songwriter and producer. The band heavily channels the sound of The Smiths & Joy Division/New Order and they put on a highly regarded live show. Jonny found creative inspiration and challenge in writing infectious pop music that lyrically confronts darker issues than to sonically be expected. As he grew as an artist, he became more involved in this dichotomy, finding more interesting ways to do so. Abysmal Thoughts is perhaps his best work yet - catchy and carefree at times, yet dark and atmospheric at others, strung together more seamlessly than in the past. The band has received critical praise of their past work & grown to acquire a very loyal fanbase in the US and strongly in South America and the UK. They have over half a million followers on Facebook, which is a strong indication of their following.
FLEET FOXES - Crack-up - Nonesuch
Fleet Foxes release Crack-up, its long-awaited and highly anticipated third album on Nonesuch Records. Crack-Up comes six years after the 2011 release of Helplessness Blues and nearly a decade since the band's 2008 self-titled debut. Fleet Foxes has released the album track "Third of May / Ōdaigahara," a nearly nine-minute epic powered by piano and electric twelve-string guitar, string quartet, and the group's trademark sparkling harmonies. All eleven of the songs on Crack-Up were written by Robin Pecknold. The album was co-produced by Pecknold and Skyler Skjelset, his longtime bandmate, collaborator, and childhood friend. Crack-Up was recorded at various locations across the United States between July 2016 and January 2017: at Electric Lady Studios, Sear Sound, The Void, Rare Book Room, Avast, and The Unknown. Phil Ek mixed the album, at Sear Sound, and it was mastered by Greg Calbi at Sterling Sound. Fleet Foxes is Robin Pecknold (vocals, multi-instrumentalist), Skyler Skjelset (multi-instrumentalist, vocals), Casey Wescott (multi-instrumentalist, vocals), Christian Wargo (multi-instrumentalist, vocals), and Morgan Henderson (multi-instrumentalist).
CHEAP TRICK - We're All Alright! - Big Machine Records
Cheap Trick's 18th studio album, We're All Alright! was co-produced by the band and their longtime collaborator, GRAMMY® Award winner Julian Raymond (Glen Campbell, Fastball). The album will be available in standard and deluxe editions, with the latter including three additional bonus tracks, among them a kaleidoscopic cover of The Move's Blackberry Way.
ICED EARTH - Incorruptible - Century Media
After nearly three dedicated decades, Schaffer, drummer Brent Smedley, vocalist Stu Block, bassist Luke Appleton, and new guitarist Jake Dreyer have assembled the fiercest Iced Earth record since 1996 milestone The Dark Saga and 1998's chart-blazer Something Wicked This Way Comes. Titled 'Incorruptible', Iced Earth's 12th record is inspired not by things political but by things personal. Since Plagues of Babylon landed in 2014 to heaps of praise and chart-topping success, Schaffer and team have weathered proverbial storms. Management shake-ups, Schaffer's well-publicized and very serious neck surgery—he's since fully recovered—and lineup shifts all played positively into Incorruptible. But that wasn't always the case. Written primarily by Schaffer over the course of several months — a process he calls "typical"— Incorruptible finds Iced Earth pivoting off everything they've learned—going all the way back to 1990's Iced Earth—to come away with an album that feels and sounds superlatively heavy metal. And definitely like Iced Earth.
JESSICA HERNANDEZ & THE DELTAS - Telephone - Instant Records
The Detroit band made their Instant Records debut with 2013's DEMONS and 2014's SECRET EVIL. Hernandez, a second generation Cuban and Mexican-American, felt it her duty to further explore her own Hispanic heritage on The Deltas' sophomore recording. Personal and provocative, Telephone / Telefono is a milestone achievement for the band known for their soundclash of Goth pop, Latin rock, psychedelic surf, punk cabaret, dirty dancehall, and Hernandez's vocal power.

Opinion: Post-Libor, Romney and Obama Need a Plan to Fix Banking
In case you've been away at the cabin fishing or in a maximum-security isolation prison and haven't heard about the most recent international banking scandal, let me catch you up.
This latest iteration involves the system by which banks set the London interbank offered rate, Libor. This is the rate that banks charge each other for loans, and "is used to determine the borrowing costs for trillions of dollars of financial products, including mortgages, credit cards and student loans." The fallout of this manipulation is thought to be responsible for huge losses at state, city and municipal levels of government and in some way affected the lives and finances of almost every human being on this planet.
This is an issue that both President Obama and Mitt Romney need to address frontally. To date, both campaigns have pussy footed around all of this dangerous and toxic mess. This is bigger than Obamacare. It's much more significant than Romney continuing as CEO of Bain after 1999. It has a far greater impact on every American this election year than any other issue the candidates have been discussing or will address in presidential debates this fall.
The American voter and the American people need to understand this crisis and be aware that they as individual citizens, investors, and workers have almost no control over their future. It doesn't matter where you invest your hard earned savings. It doesn't really matter how many of those fancy computerized investment "tools" advertised by companies you use to plan your financial future. Stocks, bonds, mutual funds, real estate, gold - it's all really irrelevant. We now know that it's all in the hands of a bunch of faceless, unscrutinized bankers operating in London, New York, Tokyo, and Frankfurt.
An easy position both candidates could take would be to criticize the settlements regulators have so far struck with bad-acting banks. One that infuriatingly comes to mind is Barklays nonprosecution agreement in which they were assessed a "penalty of more than $450 million," which the New York Times notes, is "a comparatively paltry sum for a bank that had more than £32 billion ($50 billion) in revenue in 2011."
Romney and Obama could both articulate that it is essential that people are arrested, chained and cuffed, humiliated, tried, convicted and sentenced to LONG, I mean LONG, jail terms in some of the dampest and most unspeakable prisons. Too bad Devil's Island is now just a tourist attraction. Just paying a fine is the cost of doing business and will NOT serve as a deterrent to future criminal bankers and financial scamsters.
Harsh sentences are imperative. Think of these people as the equivalent of drug cartel lords or terrorists. They have in fact, terrorized and destroyed millions of people's lives and sunk entire cities, states, and countries into pauperism, default, and permanent poverty. All in a cavalier and most arrogant and despicable way (just read the e mails of how these people set the Libor rates and your hair will catch on fire.)
Remember that unless any president puts out a realistic plan to fix the banking and financial services industry, which is the glue that holds together all the pieces of capitalism, our economic woes will continue and grow. Our economy's major ills - the housing default crisis, the toxic financial instruments crisis, the crisis in Europe, the Bernie Madoff fraud scandal, Barclays and Libor bank scandals - are all owing to the sense impunity the financial sector has enjoyed in recent years.
Let's at least talk about that this election.

On Friday, I made a site update that exposed private bookmarks for about a hundred Pinboard users. Any private bookmarks created through the browser between about 15:45 and 17:30 Pacific time were visible on public areas of the site.
I emailed affected users on Friday evening to inform them of what had happened. If you didn't get an email from me, it means your bookmarks were not affected. But if you have any doubts, by all means get in touch and I will take a look.
After losing data or passwords, this is the about the worst kind of mistake I can make.
The heart of the problem was that it turned out to be possible to ask the Pinboard database to "give me only bookmarks where the privacy flag is set to zero'" and still get back results where the privacy flag was on. This is like accidentally baking something by putting it in your freezer. Unexpected.
In my email to users, I promised to give a more public and technical explanation of what I did wrong:
The proximate cause of the bug was a small change in the 'save bookmarks' page:
- $b->private = post("private") ? 1 : 0; + $b->private = post("private");
In human language, the original line says 'set the private flag on the new bookmark to zero or one, depending on whether there was a 'private' field in the submitted form', and the replacement line says 'set the private flag to either nothing, or the value the user posted'.
I made this change believing that there was code later in the save process that coerced the value to either 0 or 1. There wasn't. That was mistake #1.
So now a new bookmark coming into the system would have $b->private set to 'yes' instead of 1.[*]
That shouldn't have been enough to break things. Mistake #2 was in the way I set up the database, way back in 2009. Here's the database definition for the bookmarks table :
CREATE TABLE bookmarks ( id int(11) NOT NULL, url mediumtext, title varchar(255), description mediumtext, user_id int(11) NOT NULL, toread tinyint(1) DEFAULT '0', private binary(1) DEFAULT '0', url_id int(11), slug char(20), snapshot_id int(11), code char(3), source smallint(6), added_at datetime, created_at datetime, updated_at datetime, PRIMARY KEY (id), ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
Notice that 'private' is a binary field of length 1. This was a braino on my part - I was thinking of the fact that I just needed to record a single bit. But the binary column type in MySQL is intended for binary data, not Boolean values. A more correct way to store this kind of flag is as tinyint(1). Notice that the toread flag has this correct type.
An important difference between these data types is how they behave when you put in character data:
mysql> create table demo(int tinyint(1), bin binary(1)); mysql> insert into demo(int, bin) values ('y', 'y'); mysql> select * from demo; +------+------+ | int | bin | +------+------+ | 0 | y | +------+------+
Notice that saving a non-number value in the tinyint column converts it to zero.
This would have let me catch the bug in testing, since a bookmark saved as private would have been displayed as public (the two are visually distinct).
But this is the part that I really did not expect:
mysql> select bin from demo where bin = 0; +------+ | bin | +------+ | y | +------+
So even though the row has (from our perspective) a non-zero value, MySQL sees it as matching zero.
This means that a database query for public bookmarks (which includes a 'WHERE private=0' restriction) will still return bookmarks that have all kinds of values in the private field.
When PHP converts such a row into a Bookmark object, it assigns the privacy status based on the value it gets from the database:
$b = new Bookmark(); $res = query('huge sql query here'); $row = $res->fetchRow(); foreach ($props as $p) {$b->$p = $row[$p];}
At this point the
$b->private instance variable is set to 'y'. Because of how PHP works, any Boolean test of
$b->private will now evaluate to 'true', and so we have here the miracle of a truly private bookmark returned from a strictly public query.
So mistake #3 was not trapping unexpected data types at load time.
Now, there are certain pages on the site (like /recent/ and /popular/) where it should never be possible to see private bookmarks. Mistake #4 was not enforcing this restriction in the display template. This extra check exists for private tags, but it did not exist for private bookmarks.
While it would not have prevented this privacy leak entirely, it would have limited the number of pages where private bookmarks could show up.
Finally, mistake #5 had to do with how I test this stuff. Instead of automated test suites, I use checklists before deploying major changes, performing a series of actions (like creating and editing bookmarks) to make sure everything works as expected.
But I do this from my own Pinboard account, which has superpowers. Specifically, it lets me see private bookmarks on all accounts. And since I already see everything, I don't notice when everybody else starts to see everything, too.
tl;dr: because of poor input validation and a misdesigned schema, bookmarks could be saved in a way that made them look private to the ORM, but public to the database. Testing failed to catch the error because it was done from a non-standard account..
There are several changes I will make to prevent this class of problem from recurring:
Coerce all values to the expected types at the time they are saved to the database, rather than higher in the call stack.
Add assertions to the object loader so it complains to the error log if it sees unexpected values.
Add checks to the templating code to prevent public bookmarks showing up under any circumstances on certain public-only pages.
Run deployment tests from a non-privileged account.
Moreover, I'm considering adding special behavior for accounts that are private by default. If you really, truly never want to save public bookmarks, there should be a way to tell the site that in exchange for additional safeguards.
One thing I won't do fix is the database schema. While the field type is incorrect, at this point a whole pyramid of working code sits on top of it, and mucking with it might break other things in unexpected places. Prudence suggests not touching it without lavish preparation.
To everyone who was affected by this bug, or who could have been if the timing was different, I would like to offer my sincere apology. After spending three years seducing the privacy-obsessed, it's pretty low form to suddenly break those guarantees.
While I've tried to compensate affected users, it's no substitute for not allowing these kinds of mistakes in the first place.
I'm around on Twitter as usual if you have questions or things to say.

I am currently looking at what I am told is a 1971 GTX, it has a 440, bucket seats,auto on the column, problem being it has no visible fender tag for ID purposes and it also doesnt have the GTX logo on the front grille. Is there anywhere else on the vehicle to find this ID and if not , how do i know its the true GTX from that year as less than 3000 of them were made that year and not a cloned model of another vehicle ? The owner passed away and was an avid muscle car fan, and at the time it is 1 of 42 vehicles being sold at an estate sale so I can get little information other than what I have from the executor of his estate. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.I do have a partial vin RS23U1and a stock # of 71AH005
RS23U1 is a real 71 GTX 440 4bbl car. A picture would help if you can post one. It should have large GTX emblem on the 1/4's and a red reflective "GTX" decal on the deck lid.

/// Mirriad, the Company That Wants to Automate Product Placement, Gets Some High-Profile Help
You don't want to watch ads. But if the ad is inserted directly into the thing you want to watch, you'll put up with it. You might even like it. That's the premise behind product placement, which is a very old idea. Now Mirriad is trying to update the concept, by digitizing it, and creating a marketplace that lets advertisers and content owners make deals on the fly. That means that in theory, if Coke wanted to insert some cans into reruns of "NCIS," it could cut a deal with CBS, using a Web dashboard, and you'd never know that Mark Harmon was guzzling something else the first time around. Mirriad isn't the first company to layer digital images onto video — if you've watched sports on TV over the last decade, you've seen it all the time, from the first-down markers on NFL games to the rotating billboards behind home plate in baseball games

My grandfather had cars packed around the garage like sardines....I would get dropped off for the day in the summer time while my parents were at work. Me and pappy would work on everything, often falling asleep in the sun under the cars. He was retired at the time and just worked on cars to keep busy. I loved going to the salvage yard or auto parts store with him. When anyone would see him they would yell his name and give him the greatest reception. Just seeing the way people responded to him being around made him a bigger hero to me. A few days after my mom was in an auto accident my family stopped in to see the progress on the car; which my grandfather was working on. He had the front clip off of the car waiting to get new parts...At that point in my life I didn't even know the sheetmetal could come off. I just stood there slackjawed in disbelief. I always knew I was hooked. But, after I saw the clip off the car, it became serious.
Also,There was a bad intersection at the end of our street. After an accident I would collect the busted up parts and bag and tag them and arrange them in different ways. This started at age two!

Secretary of HUD corrupt

- (APN) HUD Secretary Owns Stake in AHA HOPE VI
HUD Secretary Owns Stake in AHA Leading HOPE VI
By Matthew Cardinale, News Editor, The Atlanta
Progressive News (October 07, 2007)
(APN) ATLANTA In an apparent conflict of interest,
Secretary of the US Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD), Alphonso Jackson, owns a stake in
Atlanta-based company Columbia Residential, which
landed major HOPE VI redevelopment grants with the
Atlanta Housing Authority (AHA), according to an
article, "Questionable Contracts," published in the
National Journal magazine on October 04, 2007.
National Journal is a Washington, DC, based magazine
for policy professionals.
"The Secretary still has financial ties to one housing
developer. According to Jackson's financial disclosure
reports, an Atlanta-based development company,
Columbia Residential, owes him $250,000 to $500,000.
Before joining HUD, his spokesman said, Jackson was a
partner/consultant for the developer, the National
Journal reported.
Columbia Residential has been intimately involved in
redeveloping two of AHAs HOPE VI projects, McDaniel
Glen and Perry Homes, according to documents obtained
by Atlanta Progressive News.
The former Petty Homes complex is now the West
Highlands, with current or planned developments called
Columbia Estates, Colubmia Heritage, Columbia Park
Citi, Columbia Crest, and Columbia Grove.
AHA received $25.1 million from HUD to fund the West
Highlands project.
HUD Secretary Jackson stood with Noel F. Khalil,
President of Columbia Residential, when he praised the
West Highlands in a 2004 article in The Story
newspaper, and that day announced an additional $20
million in federal funding to AHA for McDaniel Glen,
also a redevelopment site for Columbia Residential.
Columbia Residential, LLC, is a registered Georgia
LLC, with several affiliated Georgia entities,
organized on March 24, 2000, and the registered agent
is Khalil, according to the corporations database of
the Secretary of State of Georgia.
"According to his disclosure reports, Jackson is to
receive periodic payments for past services under a
separation agreement with the company. He has received
only one such payment in the past six years -- $35,000
in 2003. HUD officials said that Jackson avoids any
dealings with Columbia Residential. They released a
memo he wrote in August 2001 in which he recused
himself from HUD matters having 'a direct and
predictable effect on the ability or willingness' of
the company 'to satisfy its obligation to compensate
me for prior service rendered.'" the National Journal
"Columbia Residential recently was part of a team that
won a $127 million competitive contract from HANO
[Housing Authority of New Orleans] to redevelop the
St. Bernard public housing project, which has been
shuttered since Katrina. In his written responses, HUD
spokesman Brown said that Jackson was not part of the
selection team and played no 'role in the selection of
any team members.' The four-member selection panel
included Scott Keller, who was until recently
Jackson's deputy chief of staff and who is often
described within HUD as Jackson's 'right-hand man.'
But in an interview, Keller said that because of the
press of other HUD business he did not participate in,
or influence, the selection of the Columbia
Residential team. Keller left HUD in August to become
a private consultant," the National Journal wrote.
The revelations about Jacksons stake in Columbia
Residential were somewhat buried within the lengthy
National Journal article, which focuses on an
investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigations
and the HUD Inspector Generals Office, of Jackson,
for apparently steering a contract with HANO to a golf
buddy of his, William Hairston.
An Associated Press (AP) report was widely circulated
about the issue of Mr. Hairston after the National
Journal article was published, but did not mention the
Secretarys stake in Columbia Residential.
The AP also recalled another recent scandal involving
Jackson and HUD contracts.
"Last year, Jackson became a focus of controversy
after telling a Dallas business group that he had
rejected a HUD contract because the prospective
contractor criticized Bush. Jackson apologized, said
he made up the story, and declared that [HUD]
contracts were never awarded or rejected because of
political favoritism," the AP reports.

WEST LONG BRANCH, N.J. - Junior Pat Light (Colts Neck, N.J./Christian Brothers Academy) and sophomore Andrew McGee (Toms River, N.J./Toms River South) both threw complete games as the Monmouth University baseball team swept Mount St. Mary's in a Northeast Conference doubleheader, Friday afternoon. In game one's 4-3 win, Light worked all nine innings, surrendering eight hits and a pair of walks, which lead to three runs, while striking out nine for his sixth overall win and fourth NEC victory of the season. McGee went the distance for the third time this year in the Hawks' 2-0 victory in the nightcap. In the two-hit shutout, the second-year Hawk recorded a career-best eight strikeouts in seven innings for his fifth win.
In game one, Danny Avella (Matawan, N.J./Christian Brothers Academy) blasted his team-leading fifth home run of the season, a two-run shot, in the first inning, scoring Ed Martin (Hazlet, N.J./Raritan [Brookdale CC]), who reached on a fielding error, to give the Blue and White a 2-0 lead.
Nick Walker's RBI double in the third inning cut Monmouth's advantage to 2-1 but MU responded in the home half of the inning. Jake Gronsky (Danville, Pa./Danville Area) reached on an infield single and moved to second on Avella's groundout. Two batters later, Jon Guida (Martinsville, N.J./Bridgewater Raritan) singled up the middle, chasing in his sophomore classmate Gronsky to increase the Hawks' lead to 3-1.
Josh Winter's solo home run to begin the fourth inning brought the Mount within one, but the Hawks answered again the home half of the frame. Kyle Perry (Toms River, N.J./Toms River South) reached on a bunt and moved to second on Martin's fielder's choice. Jamie Rosenkranz (Oakhurst, N.J./Ocean Township) connected on a single through the left side, plating Perry, to regain a two-run lead, 4-2.
Winter's sacrifice fly in the eighth inning reduced MU's advantage to one, 4-3, but Light got the Mount in order to finish off his third complete game of the season.
Karl Lamont hurled a complete game of his own, allowing four runs on nine hits with four punch-outs in the loss.
In the third inning of the nightcap, Josh Boyd (Port Murray, N.J./West Morris Central) singled to right and moved to second on Perry's free pass. After Martin grounded out moving the runners up a base and Boyd was tagged out at home on Rosenkranz's fielder's choice, Gronsky was hit with a pitch to load the bases. Avella earned a walk, plating Perry for the first run of the game.
Avella was hit by a pitch to start the sixth inning and moved to second on Steve Wilgus' (Woolwich, N.J./Gloucester Catholic) pinch-hit sacrifice bunt. Following a wild pitch, Owen Stewart (Howell, N.J./St. Rose) connected on a sacrifice fly that was dropped by the right fielder, plating Avella, to give Monmouth a 2-0 lead.
Despite allowing a one-out walk, his only blunder of the game, McGee got the final three outs to secure his fourth NEC win of the season.
Scott Nickerson, who also worked a complete game, was tagged with the loss for the Mount. In six innings, the starter allowed one hit to the Hawks, but five walks and two hit batsmen plagued the freshman righty, who falls to 1-5 on the year.
Monmouth and Mount will conclude its Northeast Conference series on Saturday with a doubleheader. Due to the weather forecast, game one has been moved up to noon, while game two will begin approximately 30 minutes following the final out.

Here's news that Demi Moore apparently already knows: Ashton Kutcher
is the world's hottest bachelor.
The Dude, Where's My Car? star narrowly beat Britain's Prince William to top People magazine's hottest bachelor poll.
Kutcher, 25, who's been at the centre of a media frenzy since embarking on a red-hot romance with 40-year-old Moore, beat the future king of England by just two per cent.
Others included in the 25 Hottest Bachelors list in People are American Idol judge Simon Cowell, Jennifer Lopez's ex Cris Judd, Keanu Reeves and Cameron Diaz's former beau Jared Leto.
The stars of the blockbuster The Hulk have enjoyed a monster
turnout at the film's UK premiere.
More than a thousand fans lined London's Leicester Square for the evening debut of the action movie on July 3.
Eight months pregnant Jennifer Connelly, who plays Betty Ross in the film, looked glowing as she arrived on the arm of husband Paul Bettany.
And Eric Bana, who plays the Hulk's alter-ego Bruce Banner, was given a rapturous reception by the crowd.
The Australian actor, who flew in today from Malta where he is filming opposite Brad Pitt in Troy, joked that he could not find an appropriate outfit for the occasion.
Dressed in a charcoal grey suit, he said: "I looked everywhere for a green suit but I couldn't find a nice one so I've had to make do with this."
Pop star Holly Valance turned up to support her fellow Australian, and other celebrities on the guest list included Chris Eubank and Daley Thompson.
Bana stars as the mild-mannered scientist who is transformed into The Hulk when a nuclear experiment goes wrong.
The green monster appears whenever Banner is in a rage, leading to the immortal lines: "Don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry."
The Hulk started life as a Marvel comic strip in 1962 and was turned into the hit TV series in the late 1970s.
Whereas the TV monster was played by former Mr Universe Lou Ferrigno, the monster in the film is computer generated.
Action film muscleman Arnold Schwarzenegger will carry a copy of his film, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines to US soldiers deployed in Iraq on July 4, US Independence Day, his agent said.
"He will go to Iraq to show the film to the US soldiers," according to the office of his agent Jill Eisenstadt.
Perhaps in Iraq, the film will get a better reception than in the United States where the film premiered on July 2.
"The best one can say about Schwarzenegger's acting ... is that maybe, just maybe, it's supposed to be funny," critic Mick La Salle said in the San Francisco Chronicle.
"If not, he might want to rethink the possible political career. In politics, a candidate has to fool at least 50 per cent of the people into thinking he's feeling something. In Terminator 3, Schwarzenegger couldn't fool anybody."
A London-based film company is planning a comic love story in which employees at a call centre in India pretend to be English while helping out British customers.
Harbour Pictures will produce the film, for which director Nigel Cole will begin shooting next year. The two had earlier teamed up for Calendar Girls, which created a buzz at the Cannes Film Festival two months ago.
"The film will take a serious look at the cultural differences between Britain and India. But it'll also be a celebration of those differences," Suzanne Mackie, head of development at Harbour Pictures, told Reuters by telephone from London.
"The subject is potentially serious, but also potentially funny."
The film has been inspired by a growing trend of British companies such as Prudential and BT Group moving a part of their back-office operations to India. These include customer relations, which are served by call centres.
India's huge pool of skilled, English-speaking graduates, who are willing to work at a fraction of Western wages, have spurred global companies such as Citigroup and AOL-Time Warner to set up back-office centres in the country.
Employees at call centres are often given British or American names, taught to speak with the relevant accent and even given crash courses in the pop culture of the two countries.
Clients are thus led to believe they are speaking to someone a few kilometres away instead of halfway across the globe.
The British film seeks to tap the potential humour and pathos of such situations.
"How can you teach someone British popular culture? It's a funny arena for misunderstandings and that's where the humour for the film will come in," said Mackie.
London-based actor and writer Sanjeev Bhaskar, who writes and acts in the ongoing series, The Kumars at No 42, is working on the script for the movie but the cast is yet to be decided.
The city of Chicago is dedicating its annual Independence Day fireworks show to longtime advice columnist Esther "Eppie" Lederer, known to readers across the country as Ann Landers.
Lederer died of bone marrow cancer on June 22 last year. She was 83.
To commemorate her life and work, Mayor Richard M Daley will declare July 4 "Eppie Lederer Day" and dedicate to her the lakefront fireworks show and Grant Park Orchestra concert.
Maggie Daley, the mayor's wife, said she came up with the idea for the tribute after remembering that Lederer and her twin sister, Pauline Phillips, were born on July 4. Phillips, also known as Abigail Van Buren, followed Lederer into the profession as writer of the Dear Abby column.
"A lot of us have been thinking of a way to honour her, certainly Rich and I have since she passed away, and I think this is the best thing," she said in an interview with the Chicago Tribune, Lederer's former publisher.
Maggie Daley said it will be the first time the fireworks show has been dedicated to a Chicagoan. "What we're doing is very, very Eppie," she said. "It'll be a great celebration, a great birthday party for this woman who was really a piece of Chicago."
The first Ann Landers advice column Lederer wrote appeared in print on October 16, 1955, in the Chicago Sun-Times. In 1993, she was considered the world's most widely syndicated columnist, appearing in more than 1,200 newspapers worldwide with 90 million readers daily.

Climate, crisis mean trouble for truffles in Italy
By Svetlana Kovalyova
SAN GIOVANNI D'ASSO, Italy (Reuters Life!) - Nose to the ground, truffle dog Nice ploughs through fallen leaves in a Tuscan forest on a crisp November morning.
But after hours of fruitless searching, Nice and her owner Massimo give up in yet another sign of trouble for the truffle industry in Italy, a major growing region in Europe.
Output of white truffles, the precious fungi with the delicate taste and strong aroma adored by gourmets, has fallen in Italy over the past few years. Climate change is a big culprit, bringing a damaging mix of drought and torrential rains.
"In the past, in a good season, white truffle crops used to come up to 10 tonnes. Now it has halved," Giancarlo Picchiarelli, chairman of Italy's association of truffle diggers called Citta del Tartufo, told Reuters.
White truffle season runs in Tuscany, one of Italy's four main growing regions, from mid-September to the end of December.
Output so far this year has fallen 20 percent to 30 percent from last year, said Luciano Tognazzi, secretary of a local association of truffle diggers, or tartufai, in the southern Tuscan province of Siena.
Tight supplies of white truffles has driven prices above 4,000 euros ($5,050) per one kg (2.205 lb). The white truffles grow only naturally in forests, unlike black truffles which can be cultivated on plantations.
A giant 1.5 kg white truffle unearthed in Italy was sold for $330,000 at an auction last December. Continued...

Sideways: Wine Soiree
We couldn't honor films set in the West without at least one dedicated to wine, and what better choice than Alexander Payne's smart buddy comedy? Two guys pushing middle age set off on a tasting spree in Santa Barbara's wine country and learn a lot about relationships in the process.

text: I love shooting my M&P 45, but with the price of ammo, I am looking at getting a 9mm. I could of course get a M&P, but I was thinking of getting something different. I have been looking at the Springfield XDM or Beretta 92FS. If you have shot both or have both what pros and cons can you give. I know one is metal and the other is poly, don't really care about that. Just looking for a good shooter.

Four years ago tomorrow before the sun had even risen I went into labor with #3. Two days later just before 11pm I gave birth to her in a hospital room full of angry faces, harsh words, and a bullying doctor and midwife after a hospital transfer from what would have been the homebirth of my dreams. The next morning my midwife called to tell me it was my fault, that had failed, that I had wanted to stall, that I set out to be the failure I was.
And today four years later with Lamictal and Zoloft in my system that I have to take every single night or I can't get out of bed, want to die, can't control my anger... I sign onto to Facebook to see images of the Pampers comercial all over my wall. You know, it's great! Pampers includes a home water birth in their commercial and that is just fantastic! Really! And I can't blame people for celebrating that. But I feel like I have been stabbed through the heart. I can't blame anyone. I'm not blaming anyone. I'm certainly not mad at anyone. But I'm angry. And I'm shaking. And I'm holding back sobbing.
You failed. You set out to fail. You're a failure. I'm a failure. I'm a failure. I'm a failure.
That's what I keep hearing. And I want to vomit.
I remember the pain. The endless pain that ripped through me. I remember hearing someone screaming in agony and then realizing it was me. I remember my husband being unwilling to comfort me and being silent when I turned to him after that godawful phone call. "Do you know what she said to me? She said I failed, that I set out to fail!" and I laughed and he turned away from me and said nothing. I didn't understand "deafening silence" until that moment. His silence hurt me more than if he would have gotten up and hit me across the face. I'm so glad for that woman in the Pampers comercial with a caring family and a caring attendant. Really! I promise I am! But my heart hurts so much right now.
I was doing so good! I thought this year would be the year I didn't have a meltdown, I didn't revisit it all. I didn't even connect the fact that I haven't been able to sleep the past few nights, that whenever I close my eyes I have nightmares of being violated. It just now dawned on me what that has been. I cuddled with daughter #3 today and I felt like I was mourning and I tried not to. I just kept looking at her and smiling. Nothing's wrong, my love! Nothing to see here!
She's so excited for her birthday. She can't wait.
I remember being excited for her birthday, too. I remember all of the hopes and the planning. But now it's "Olive's birth". That's what I talk about in therapy and still yell at my husband over and still hate myself for. "Olive's birth". It makes me want to scratch into my flesh and scream and hide myself out of shame. Don't look at me. Don't look at the failure sprawled out and naked crying and bleeding and so scared. Don't look at me failing. Don't look at my shameful behavior.
But really I am so happy for those who have successful and happy births at home or otherwise. Really! I'm not trying to be a natural-birth naysayer. I still support it, I really do! I just can't see it anymore. How sad is that? Even a comercial does this to me.
Oh honey, I am so, so, so sorry you had such horrible birth trauma. You deserve support. You need to seep support. Please.
And how HORRIBLE of your midwife to call and say that to you. Shameful.
Hi, I'm Amber
Ava {12.20.08} Levi {8.19.10} Aspen {EDD 7.21.13}
I'm truly sorry that you are hurting so deeply.
I can't beleive that a midwife or any HCP would say such things to anyone, much less a new mother.
I think what you wrote is good for you. I think that you need to continue to speak out your hurt and anger of your birth.
Do you think it would help to write a letter to your midwife about your pain over this?
I pray that you are able to heal.
Lovin my sweet babygirl 3-17-10 and expecting another in March!
I am so sorry.
SAHM to Chloe«- 6/2008 (10 lbs, 5 oz), Hannah- 9/2010 (9 lbs, 12 oz), Liam- 2/2013 (9 lbs, 6 oz)
I'm so sorry you are struggling with this. Have you come at it from a different angle - have you thought "well, okay, so what if you can blame this on the mom... I didn't have the homebirth of my dreams... I found out my midwife was a real a$$... My partner struggles to support me emotionally through this... My beautiful daughter is here even after a horrible, dramatic birth and I survived, too, even with many scars... Do I want this to drag on me for the rest of my life or am I ready to call it what it is, accept it's weight and learn to thrive even having to carry it around??? Even if this is my fault I'm choosing to move forward. Blame will get me no where but where I've been, my anger at my midwife will not hurt me for the rest of my life and I'm going to try a new point of view."
I am in no way saying just get over it. That doesn't work and if it were that easy then there wouldn't be a need for this forum. But, having been through a traumatic birth that resulted in the loss of my perfect son I can tell you I understand your anger at your midwife. My discussion with my counselor was different in that she explained as I moved toward the second anniversary of my son's death last year I was having to let go of the "new grieving parent" role and time was forcing me farther and farther away from the memories of my son and pregnancy. Society would view me differently as each day passed and I had to figure out where I wanted myself to be.
It's been tough. The third anniversary of his birth and death will be coming this summer. I can already feel it and I'm sad and angry all over again. I understand when you say you look at your daughter and mourn. My daughter was born 11 months after my son's death and she is a constant reminder of all of the stages we missed with him. They also favor so much there are times that looking at her brings my grief right to the surface. But, as you say, I will not let her see that - it is not her burden.
I wish you the best as you work through all of this. And, I wish you a peaceful and happy celebration of her birthday and the memories and anger of the birth fade quickly.
You are not a failure.
I had a traumatic, emergency, c-section after 24 hours of labour. Would you call me a failure? I highly doubt it. I don't know you but I imagine you would be comforting and supportive. You would show me grace because of the situation that I was in. Please show yourself that same grace. You deserve it.
I am so sorry that you have had such a traumatic experience. And how dare your midwife say that to you! It is not your fault. I hope that you are able to get the support and help you need to work through this experience. Hugs to you.
I'm so sorry you are hurting. What an awful thing your mw said to you. Just awful. And not true, either. Try to be gentle with yourself.
ariana, mama to beautiful redheaded girls (oct 07) and (nov 10)
It sounds like your midwife felt like she had failed and was projecting her shame onto you because her pride couldn't handle it. "I'm such a great midwife that if one of my clients transfers that's clearly her fault and has absolutely nothing to do with my care." Yeah, right. It's really no one's "fault", it's just how it all played out, probably for several different reasons. Whenever I've been through something that brings me shame, I look at the situation from every angle possible, inevitably reaching the point where there's no way to unload the blame on any one person or thing...try it for yourself, if you like, and see if that rings true for as well.
You are NOT a failure. That midwife is full of it...wow.
I know what you mean about hearing amazing homebirth stories and seeing women glow when they talk about theirs. I was supposed to have a waterbirth at home, but we had to transfer (very long story) and I ended up with a cesarean. We are happy for all of those women, but at the same time I just want to scream "it's not fair".
Mom to Liv (9/07) and Nora (2/11)
I cannot believe how women suffer from the cruelty of medical personnel. Just today I was crying my heart out in the car at the thought of last July 11, the thought of my guts getting ripped out, reliving a sexual assault because the hospital (where I wasn't supposed to be) refused to find me a female doctor and my midwife didn't care to help. Nobody had to call me a failure for me to feel like one--my stupid body didn't know enough to even go into labor after the membranes ruptured. I was angry they wouldn't acknowledge my status as a dud. It was all gushy, "Oh, you did so well... you were so brave..." b******t. I wanted to tell them to leave me alone to die of grief. If I had money to burn, I would have presented that hospital with a fancy new sign to put over their door, with an appropriate quote from Dante: "Through me the way to the Suffering City. Through me the way to eternal pain. Abandon all hope, ye who enter here." I am angry for myself, and I am angry for you, and for all who endure this.

RoboClean RC‐1000
GED Integrated Solutions
Ph: 330/963-5401
The RoboClean RC‐1000 robotic corner cleaner represents the first major change in vinyl window and door cleaning in more than 20 years, according to GED Integrated Solutions. The robotic technology allows for new profiles to be added with ease, complete cleaning all the way into corners with no need for touch-ups, and consistent, repeatable movements, the supplier reports. Providing a high level of flexibility, the unit's Star Hub rotates to present tools at multiple angles, and the reach of the robotic arm enables tools to clean the square from underneath and off the corners. Working at speeds 10 percent to 15 percent faster than current technologies, the machine also delivers improved quality as tools are no longer limited to step movements and 'chatter' is eliminated on contoured surfaces, GED reports. The RC‐1000 is part of a new family of robotic cleaners that will also be available in twin-head or four-head configurations.

Dear Jon: Be sure a student loan is what you want
It'll take an act of Congress to get out of it
Student Loans are often a necessary evil for the college bound. You'll understand why I say that after you read this Dear Jon report. Jessica messaged me on Facebook and asked, "Dear Jon, I forgot to put in my papers to defer my student loans, now it's in default. I also have new family commitments now; can I get out of my loan?"
Time for some tough love. You'll most likely not like what I've found.
The short answer is since 2005 it's virtually impossible get out of a student loan after congress changed the laws. They've made it so easy to qualify for student loans now. But the flip side of that is they've made it impossible to walk away from the student loans, even through bankruptcy.
I've made several calls to financial aid departments and sent a few emails to financial aid counselors. None have responded.
And there's a reason for that.
Student loans are big business right now. Private schools and colleges are almost predatory in their efforts to enroll students and to have them pay for their education through student loans, whether they're government subsidized or private loans.
Once a student is approved and draws on that loan, that student is stuck until it's paid off or Congress changes the law.
You can defer payment in various ways with lenders. But no matter the type of student loan, the various bankruptcy avenues have been eliminated as a way to get out of a student loan.
You could still file for bankruptcy and have all your other debts reorganized or retired, but you'll still have to pay off the student loans. That's just the way it is now.
Sad to say, once you commit and draw on that student loan, you're hooked.
Student loans have the fewest solutions and options to deal with the debt; you're essentially a financial slave. Student loans have created a class of people who can barely make ends meet while paying the student loans.
It's disturbing to say this least.
If you have question for me, look for my stories online or message me on Facebook: "JonKBrent KIONKCOY" or Twitter "@DearJonKBrent."

Planetary – Intergalactic
Download Link | http://hu.lk/mp5bkkj9nfb8
Not only has Platetary gained a brand new fan in myself, I'm highly confident that the Hip-Hop Kings following will share my views that his latest single "Intergalactic" is one of the best tracks of the year so far. Planetary is a member of Army of The Pharoahs, and has reworked "Intergalactic" which of course was originally created by the Beastie Boys. It's fair to say that very few artists can better the original, however Planetary is in with a good shout. Like his AOTP crew mate Apathy who reworked White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army", the Hip-Hop world will be sure to be spinning this for a while.

Panhandle Boy Dies After Attack By Bulldogs
Published April 8th, 2013
CALLAWAY, Fla. (AP) - A 7-year-old boy has died a week after he was attacked by two bulldogs while riding his bicycle after school.
Reports say that Tyler Jett was pronounced dead Sunday afternoon at a Pensacola hospital. He suffered a punctured carotid artery.
The child was attacked April 2 by an Alapaha blood bulldog named Fat Boy and a brindle bulldog named MJ. Authorities say the dogs belonged to Edward Daniels Jr.
Family members came to Jett's aid and chased the dogs back to Daniels' home.
Deputies investigating the attack arrested Daniels on drug charges, and officials announced Monday he was charged with manslaughter.
He was also charged last week with tampering with evidence. Authorities say he washed blood from the dog's face.
