In this weekend's 'Something Stinks in Kensington' exposé edition we bring you the latest and greatest in scandal-mongering hot gossip from our ex-Boko Haram frontline cross-dressing media correspondent, Des O'Dinga, manning the live news smart phone hotline as he sorts through the ashes of Grenfell Tower – (on the lookout for evidence of dirty deeds done dirt cheap by Kensington and Chelsea council's gentrification committee) – for Anarchy Central's 24/7 Truth & Rumour Mill – with 'ring of the anvil' dispatches hand forged and crafted into bespoke satire to tempt the palates of all budding non-conformists, proto-nihilists and career radical pro-justice revolutionaries who carry the immortal genetic Rh-Neg bloodline of the rebel sons of Belial.
Before we start leaving flowers and soft, cuddly toys, or offering condolences, a spare bed - or soup in a basket - to the survivors of this avoidable 'waiting to happen' pyrotechnic disaster we need to get politically incorrect and into a bit of an imputative Q & A session.
For starters, the stock reason being spouted by the media and officialdom is the Grenfell Tower 'fridge fire' started in someone's kitchen – and a refrigerator fire usually occurs at the rear of the fridge with the compressor – rarely inside the cold unit itself, unless some agent provocateur is storing a blend of dodgy, volatile chemicals for use in one of the security service's false flag suicide bombing terrorist attacks.
Okay, so WTF is there to burn with any intensity at the back of a fridge? Not much – in fact nowt that can't be extinguished by unplugging the damn thing from the mains and pissing on the smouldering remains of the compressor and wiring.
But this fridge fire at Grenfell Tower, even after being given two coats of looking at by the local Fire Brigade and extinguished to their professional satisfaction, must have been so intense that the heat migrated through the wall (brickwork / concrete?) and caused the building's outside cladding to go into blazing conflagration mode and incinerate the entire block – including a host of residents.
Inflammable core cladding sandwiched between aluminium sheets besides – it might burn and smoulder away in a half-arsed manner. Perhaps. Cos something stinks in Denmark – and it isn't Hamlet's socks.
There's some whopping porky pies being spouted regarding this social tragedy and one is inclined to speculate that a touch of arson might be involved – unless the actual cheap shit cladding that the crap council opted for to save a few quid was made from white phosphorus and painted over with weathercoat quality napalm.
But from Day One the plot thickens as the Nasty Party's Minister for Coverups, Sir Gilbert Ratt-Pillock, designates Sir Martin Moore-Dickhead as the appointed inquiry sanitizer and guilt absolver – who then opines to gutter press hacks that the purpose of this independent (sic) inquiry is to discover the truth about what happened at Grenfell Tower, so lessons can be learned to avoid similar tragedies in the future – yet most definitely not go as far as resident survivors may demand – and specifically pointing the finger of blame at his Masonic secret handshake club brethren responsible for buying sub-standard fire hazard cladding.
There again, this establishment stooge might be a better choice for a coverup than the Dr David Kelly murder inquiry chair, Lord Bwian Hutton of Whitewash Hall - or illegal Iraq invasion n war inquiry chair, John 'The Sloth' Chilcot - who took longer - 7 years - than the war itself lasted - to decide Tony Bliar wasn't really to blame for the dodgy dossier and lying about non-existent weapons of mass distraction.
To wit, as the shit is about to hit the fan at some opportune moment down the road, let's take a gander at the guilty parties so far marked for tar and feathering – if not manslaughter charges – if the Met Plod Squad live up to their 'no stone unturned' boast a wee bit more efficiently than they did with their Westminster-orientated Operation PaedoScum investigations that resulted in the victims being branded compo-payment seeking liars.
First off for the chop was the sacked / resigned (same thing) chief executive of Kensington and Chelsea council, Tricky Nicky Colgate (paid £193,000-a-year – and is set to receive a six-figure pay-off for being fired) was effectively told to resign by communities secretary, Sajid Javid.
Hmmm, so as this foreseeable calamity might have been avoided if not for cost-cutting Nasty Party austerity measures - and occurred on the Community Minister's watch - when can we expect Jolly Javid's resignation?
Prior to his own cut n run resignation Nicholas Paget-Brownnose admitted there had been a political fall-out following the fire, but said some criticisms need to be challenged with a couple of wholly irrelevant distraction statements.
'We have lost our town clerk, Nick Colgate and I want to thank Dr Barry Quack, chief executive of Lewisham Council for agreeing to act as an interim chief executive and Lewisham Mayor, Sir Stevie Bollocks, for agreeing to lend him to us.'
Anxious to get in on the condemnation act, the Lib-Dum's short-arsed Home Affairs spokesman, Ed Davey, went straight for the jugular of the dog wanker responsible for the fitting of the tower's fire hazard cladding.
'The cabinet member for housing and deputy council leader, Rocky Feilding-Mellen's refusal to be held accountable for serious failures made on his watch is astounding. He should take responsibility and stand down immediately. In fact, if this was Japan he'd commit ritual seppuku – or at least fall on his own sword – or umbrella.'
Up there with the rest of the usual suspects is Robert 'Bobby' Scatt, the chief executive of Kensington & Chelsea Tenant Management Organisation responsible for managing Grenfell Tower - the latest high-profile figure to resign in the wake of the disaster - so he can concentrate on hiding his ill-gotten gains offshore and relocate to Brazil.
Next comes the exposure, naming n shaming of the tosser responsible for the pre-blaze Grenfell Tower fire risk assessment – who conspired with council housing chiefs to hide safety failings at the building.
Fire consultant (sic) Carl Stokes copped a £250,000 paycheque to inspect the high-rise block and then plotted with Kensington and Chelsea Tenant Management Organisation to hide the failings from both residents and London Fire Brigade.
Stokes' advice not to disclose the life-threatening fire risks was backed 100% by housing jobswoths, who were looking to avoid safety improvements which they considered unnecessary – and opting for a cheap arsed cladding face lift – to turn a wart on a pig's arse into a 'cosmetic' beauty spot.
Then the shit really hits the proverbial as Kensington and Chelsea council's first cabinet meeting since the disaster was adjourned after just 20 minutes last Thursday - after the not fit for purpose council was forced by a High Court order to admit the press and public.
Hmmm, a sub rosa council meeting – secrets to hide - no press allowed – somebody have something to hide? That the zinc cladding originally proposed was replaced with a sub standard - less fire resistant - aluminium type, saving nigh on £300,000 quid for the slush fund kitty?
The council cabinet intended to hold the meeting behind closed doors, but a High Court judge ruled members of the press, fire victims and the general public should be allowed to attend.
However the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea cabinet panel - led by Nicholas Paget-Brownhatter – opted to call the meeting off, claiming it was suddenly impossible to have an open discussion as the presence of reporters might prejudice the public inquiry – which was dismissed as 'bullshit' and sparked fresh chaos, crying and shouted accusations of a cover-up - plus calls for the cabinet to resign.
Contracted security guards from the local Renta-Thug Agency then evicted a raging mob of irate press hacks and members of the public from the cabinet chamber before they went totally ballistic and doused council members with the cans of lighter fluid and petrol they'd sneaked into the meeting.
Were the cabinet members shitting kittens that the truth might be spilled – or about pull some arrogant excuse – alike new boy Frogland President, Emmanuel Macron - that their complex collective deliberations on whom to blame for the inferior ' highly combustible' cladding may prove too much for journalists and the common herd demographic to understand – and didn't lend itself to an embarrassing question and answer session?
So, did the cladding work bids go out for tender? Que bono – who profited? Which of these overpaid, golden parachute bureaucraps and jobsworths pocketed the kickbacks from contracting the Cheap Shit Cladding Corp?
Speaking off the record to one press hack from the Daily Shitraker when it was pointed out that contractors do not decide on materials and confronted with a list of requested savings sent to contractors in July 2014 - which detailed potential cutbacks of £693,161 and reducing the cost of the contract from £9.2 million nicker to £8.5 million – including the £293,368 to be saved by fitting 'aluminium cladding in lieu of the more expensive zinc type with a fire-retardant core - Councillor Ron Smarmy fell victim to a prang of guilty conscience, and in a pathetic attempt at self-preservation snitched up yet another shifty Masonic secret handshake club deal.
'I'm not gettin' pilloried or goin' ter jail fer this cluster fuck – cos the cabinet decided ter quote the Nasty Party government's 'Austerity First' policy ter the cosmetic titification work by Crap.Clad Builders - cos if we'd gone wiv the more expensive stuff an' this overpriced sprinkler system the residents woz demandin' then that would 'ave impacted on the in-hand budget balance an' knocked an effin' big hole in our annual performance bonuses.'
Thought for the day.
The gospel according to Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea Council leader, Nickerless Paget Brownshirt – just prior to receiving a 'You're Fired' text from Downing Street: 'The Kensington and Chelsea Tenant Management Organisation oversee 18 tower blocks in the borough - all of which are over 10 storeys high and haven't so far been gutted by fires – plus they all have up-to-date fire safety risk assessments and none of these afore-mentioned blocks have yet been fitted with gentrification-friendly inflammable cladding.'
Hmmm, wonder who did these fire safety risk assessments – the same Carl Stokes consultant whose assessment of Grenfell Tower prompted Kensington and Chelsea Tenant Management Organisation to act in a criminal manner and hide the dangerous failings report from both residents and the London Fire Brigade?
Allergy warning: This article was composed in a known propaganda-infested area - and whilst purposely blending high octane irreverence, slanderous allegations and unbridled conjecture with measures of wild rumour 'and' decaffeinated public interest factoids - may also contain traces of slight exaggeration, modest porkies, misaligned references and lashings of bush telegraph innuendo.

Memorizing tips
It's late at night, and once again I find myself sitting up in bed reviewing my lines for a performance tomorrow. During the Rush Hour season, the memorizin' requirements can be substantial, so here are some tips…
Memorization gets easier with time. The more you do it, the easier it becomes.
Start in a quiet place. Minimize distractions until you really have your lines down. At THAT point, distraction can actually become helpful!
READ IT FIRST! Read the entire piece through at least 3 times before you try to memorize the first line. This technique will help you understand what you are learning, how the words flow and what other characters are doing… all of which will add meaning to what you are learning, making it easier to remember. This is a MUST DO for memorizing music! Always be really, really familiar with the way an entire song sounds so that you can memorize your part in context.
Say the lines out loud.
I write my lines down. Just like spelling practice as a kid. As I get faster, I just write the first letter of each word until I can say the lines faster than I can write or scribble them down.
MOVE AROUND! Once you think you know the lines, walk around. Imagine the audience as you speak, envision the theatrical environment. This will help prevent the deer in the headlights moments when you have to add blocking later (see glossary).
I use gestures to help me memorize. Adding a specific movement to a line can trigger the words. Just keep things natural looking, and don't add a movement for every word!
Add distraction. Once you have the lines down pretty well, let the dogs in the house and keep practicing. Go in the same room as the kids, turn the radio or the TV on, and keep working! If you have kids old enough to read, hand them a script and have them read the other character's lines. Be sure to tell them not to rescue you unless you ask for help. Be fair to your rehearsal partner by stating your expectations clearly before you start. Do you want them to correct you? If so, should they correct every minor mistake, or just make sure you get the general idea of the line.
Don't memorize the "ACTING" as you learn the lines. Unless you are directing yourself, memorizing HOW you will deliver the lines as you learn the words themselves can set your performance in stone, and cause problems when you begin acting with others. A director may want a different interpretation and you may be so sure of your character's own motivations that you don't leave room for the other actors to explore THEIR parts because yours is so locked down. Try memorizing the lines in a monotone at first, THEN memorize them using a different interpretation every time you read the line. Play with different emotions, say the line happy, silly, angry, sarcastic, evil, with a lisp, with an accent. Take a line and add an emphasis to a different word each time you say it.
example: HOW now brown cow. how NOW brown cow? how now BROWN cow. how now brown COW!
I use that same technique when I am not sure how to interpret a line. By changing the emphasis of each word, you can explore the writer's intent in a variety of ways.
Try this example out loud: I will not go to the corner store right now. I WILL not go to the corner store right now. I will NOT go to the corner store right now. I will not GO to the corner store right now. I will not go to the CORNER store …. OK, you get the picture.
All the repetition helps.
I have a friend who has a recorder app on his phone. He records the entire script in various character voices including his own lines and listens to it over and over saying his lines "with himself." He records a second version where he omits his own lines and reads all the other characters' lines. He uses the first recording until he has it down, and uses the second version to test himself.
Often I get STUCK on the same line, forgetting in the same spot each time I come to it in a script. If I can't remember what comes in the next sentence, I drill and drill about 5-6 words, over and over, taking the last few words I know and the first few words of the next line where I get stuck and repeating them. No breaks, no "punctuation"… just the words flowing from the solid phrase right into the trouble phrase.
Example: "Though this be madness, yet there is method in 't." Let's say I get the first half, but can't remember the method part… here's the way I would say it over and over…. "madness yet, madness yet, madness yet" Then add more…." madness yet there is method, madness yet there is method, madness yet there is method." Then I would do the whole phrase until I had it down. THEN, and only then, would I allow myself to add the phrasing and interpretation for meaning.
I might set myself a goal such as saying a line perfectly 10 times before I allow myself to go onto the next line.
This will vary according to your own group and director's preference, but generally… during a rehearsal, don't keep your script open and in your hands… know your lines well enough to roll them up in your back pocket, tuck it under your arm, toss it on the floor nearby. A rehearsal is not a first read-through… be better prepared than that if you possibly can. (This assumes, of course, that it is not a blocking rehearsal that requires you to make notes on your script).
During a rehearsal, there should be someone on book (watching lines) for you. If there is, just say "LINE" clearly and HOLD CHARACTER until you hear the line. If there is no prompter… pick up your script, find the line and carry on with as little fuss as possible.
Saving my number one tip for last…. I work on my lines right before I go to sleep. I find that they solidify in my mind overnight. When I wake up, I review them in my head before I get up. If there are weak spots, I work those that morning and voila! I find giving myself two nights to sleep on it, cements things in very well. For beginners, have your lines learned at least a week before you are expected to have them down, if at all possible. Then shorten the prep time as you get better at it.
NEVER wait until the day of the performance to memorize your lines. Show up for the final run-through with a script in your hand??? Dont. Just dont. That is the BEST way to send an entire cast into panic mode. When a director doesn't trust you to be prepared, they will start making rules… rules that affect the whole cast and can cause hard feelings… and since creative people like us tend to dislike rules anyway, 'tiz a far, far better thing thou doest when thou cometh to the play prepared.
hugs, v-

You're an excellent writer, but when it comes to talking the talk you can barely keep a conversation going. 8. You want to name 'the girls'. 7. You're 2 hours late AND you have bad breath. 6. You don't even wear your best sneakers. 5. Instead of using the terms 'pussy' or 'cock' during sex, you use 'vagina' or 'penis'. 4. You're already half-way through our session, then you tell me what the safe word is. 3. You never tried to lick my pussy. 2. Sucking face is how you kiss, literally. 1. Did I mention you have bad breath?

50th anniversary of Kwanzaa
NEW YORK (FOX 5 NY) - Monday marks the 50th anniversary of Kwanzaa, or festival of lights, which celebrates African heritage.
The week-long event that incorporates traditions from Continental African and African-American cultures culminates in a feast and gift-giving.
Kwanzaa has seven core principles: Unity: To strive for and to maintain unity in the family, community, nation, and race.
Self-Determination: To define and name ourselves, as well as to create and speak for ourselves.
Collective Work and Responsibility: To build and maintain our community together and make our brothers' and sisters' problems our problems and to solve them together.
Cooperative Economics: To build and maintain our own stores, shops, and other businesses and to profit from them together.
Purpose: To make our collective vocation the building and developing of our community in order to restore our people to their traditional greatness.
Creativity: To do always as much as we can, in the way we can, in order to leave our community more beautiful and beneficial than we inherited it.
Faith: To believe with all our hearts in our people, our parents, our teachers, our leaders, and the righteousness and victory of our struggle.
Seven candles represent the Seven Principles. A red, green, or black candle is lit on the kinara (candle holder) each day.

Humans have to evolve emotionally, philosophically, and spiritually for all war to end. I live in a country where people kill each other over a new television the day after our annual feast holiday of giving thanks. That is a small scale war. On a larger scale, we send armies to steal another country's resources. It is selfishness, plain and simple.

Symbolism In 'The Glass Menagerie'
Symbolism In 'The Glass Menagerie'
This essay
Symbolism In 'The Glass Menagerie'
has a total of
words and 8 pages.
Symbolism In \'The Glass Menagerie\'"
Symbolism is a major aspect in Tennessee William\'s famous play, "The Glass Menagerie." On the surface, the short slice of life story seems to be simple. However, if the reader digs deeper they will find that there are several symbols that give the play a deeper meaning. Each character defines each symbol in a different way. Aside from character symbols, there is overall symbolism in this play. It is set in a memory, so it creates a soft, dream-like setting. This lends to the whole idea behind the play that the characters are unable to function in reality. "None of the characters are capable of living in the present. All of the characters retreat into their separate worlds to escape the brutalities of life." (Ross).
There are some very noticeable symbols that have been analyzed many times since study has begun on "The Glass Menagerie." The first is the actual glass menagerie that represents the fragility of the Wingfield\'s dreamlike existence. The second is the fire escape, which reflects each character\'s tendency to escape from reality in their own ways. The third is the yellow dress, which represents youth and the past. The gentleman caller,
Leal 2
Jim O\'Connor, represents change and also hopes for the future, as well as a reflection of Amanda\'s past. Tom also has his own symbols of escape. He uses his poetry and the movies to run from his problems at home.
Literary symbols can be both universal and conventional symbols that derive additional meanings through their use in a particular work." (Kirszner and Mandell pg. 245)
The actual animal collection, or glass menagerie, symbolizes each character and the story. Like the glass animals, the character\'s realities are very fragile and in danger of being shattered. It is also as though the characters are stuck in glass, unable to move or change, also like the glass animals. They are inanimate, as the characters have learned to be to hide and escape from the pain that life has given them. Laura loves the glass animals because her family is like them. It will not take much, like Tom leaving, to shatter their whole world.
Laura is symbolized by her fragile collection of glass animals, the glass menagerie. Her favorite animal is the unique unicorn. The unicorn is different because it has a horn. When Laura was in high school, she wore a brace. The unicorn and Laura are alike in this way. When Jim dances with Laura, he knocks over the unicorn and the horn breaks off. Now it is like all of the other horses. "The unicorn losing its horn is a symbol. The unicorn in its original state symbolizes something different. It is delicate, beautiful, and precious in it\'s own unique way. This could symbolize Laura has natural beauty in an "unearthly way" that is hidden by her shyness and limp.
Leal 3
When Laura starts to talk to Jim, she gets more confidence in herself and realizes that she is not that different from everyone else in the world. The horn symbolizes a difference, an obstacle to be overcome and admired." (Ross) Like Laura has to overcome her shyness and limp to become like everyone else, the unicorn loses its difference.
The fire escape is a major symbol in this play. It represents a different symbol for each character. For Amanda, the fire escape is a way for her to be protected from the outside world, or reality. She cannot live in the present, and the lack of a front door makes it easy for her to avoid real life. She convinces herself that she isn\'t capable of leaving the safe haven she has created by locking herself inside the strange apartment. She has become trapped by her memories.
Laura uses the fire escape as a symbol in a similar way. She, too, is protected from the outside world by the fire escape, and she is also limited by it because of her handicap. It will require an extra effort for Laura to overcome her limp and get out into the world using the fire escape, symbolizing how her life is more difficult because of her handicap and her delusional mother.
Tom uses the fire escape as an escape to the outside world. He cannot live in

Two desktops running at the same time. Background programs running.
I noticed this issue a little while back. As I shutdown/restart my laptop, I notice it switches to a secondary desktop that has been running programs.
A good example would be trying to open my Task Manager, I can Ctrl-Alt-Del and it will allow me to open Task Manager - however when I click on Task Manager, it opens on the Desktop running in the background.
I can't even access the Desktop in the background, it only shows up as I'm shutting down - closing programs that I tried opening awhile ago.
I really hope this makes sense.. it's getting frustrating.
|My System Specs

It sounds like you have a virtual desktop.
This is not something that could 'just happen' in Windows 7. You would need to install a third party program to do this.
So if you did not install anything that might add virtual desktop capability, or this is not a situation where you inherited or obtained this computer from someone else and are not quite sure what is installed on it, then I would suggest first running virus and malware scans to start.
|My System Specs
|29 Jan 2012
Well that's a little troubling.. I'll look into virtual desktops - I'm assuming it's some sort of Malware, but I've ran a few different checks and it didn't come back with anything too obvious. Any suggestions for free malware scanners? Or any other way to get rid of this?
|My System Specs
|29 Jan 2012
Lots of folks here like free Malwarebytes.
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware - Free software downloads and software reviews - CNET Download.com
You are sure it is nothing you did (installed)?
|My System Specs
|29 Jan 2012
I don't recall intentionally installing some sort of virtual desktop - all I can think of is recently installing Freenet, which I can't seem to get rid of. I wouldn't be surprised if that had something to do with it.
|My System Specs
|29 Jan 2012
Don't know anything about Freenet.
Try using CCleaner or RevoUninstaller to get rid of it.

TVeblen, just tried Malwarebytes and it did the trick. Thanks so much for the responses! You just saved me a massive headache, cheers! I had an embarrassing amount of Trojans and backdoor agents...

is there any chance i could somehow get the pepakura file? i intend to make a bubblegum-crisis-inspired suit of armor, and this would be like... perfect. the work here is amazing
Ah sorry, I was asked not to release the file. It's just the helmet anyway and you might not understand how I constructed it cuz all parts of the helmet are not completely computer designed. That helmet's round shape is a pain the butt. The rest of the armor is built by eying it.
ah! then that's alright. thank you sososo much for your cooperation anyways! it would have been the body that would have come in handy the most.
this is incredible. did you use a pepakura file as a base?

Please feel sorry for him. He was the one that broke up with her and moved out of their house claiming she was too demanding and always keeping tabs on him. If she didn't get a bigger better guy, he would probably be all over the place yarning dust about her. Now he is feeling like a loser and seeking sympathy. Idiaaaart !

Thanks you for this comment. People want to see you suffer even when they are the ones that called off the relationship but when you move on to a billionaire they start talking of being broken
- 22 August 2016 at 00:00
It's a mind thing. When your ex has moved on and you haven't, you assume you're missing them. The best way to get over this illusion is to get someone more beautiful or handsome than your ex. Wallahi in a week, your ex would be a history. This is from experience.

Unanswered: Binding Report to Another Query
I currently have a report that is bound to a Query. I copied and pasted the report to create an identical one. It is still bound to the original query. Is there any way to bind that report to a different query? The format of the other query is exactly the same.
Access 2000 gives you option to select which query you would like a report bound to when creating a new report. I am basically asking if this parameter can be modified once a report already exists?
Thanks for your help!

Hello, Welcome to the board.
Since your post is the first and it sounds like yiou are rather new to Access (since you are using the report wizard from your description) I will expand the reply from Ghozy a bit.
Right Click on the black square in the upper left of the report in design view. Select Properties. Select the Data tab. Choose your query from the record source drop down.
Lastly ( at the risk of sounding sarcastic) Read the help files and consider buying a decent DB book.Darasen

Heritage Web Design makes $700 plus $360 in hosting fees for bait & switch website Provo Utah
*Author of original report: Heritage Web gave me my graphic
*REBUTTAL Owner of company: Heritage values good customers!
I emailed my 'account manager' and he just switched designers. So, in MAY my site was finally up and running and I was SUPER disappointed. It was nothing like what I had explained to them. I felt powerless because from that point on they have been so rude to me. Anyway, I built my own site and have one more month with this company stealing my $30 to host a site I haven't used since last July.
BEWARE! They will steal your hard earned money and treat you like crap.

Words cannot express how truly sorry we are for some customers who, no matter what we do, are never truly satisfied. This is especially disheartening, as Heritage has the solid reputation of providing excellent customer service.
Some customers, as illustrated on this complaint website, have resorted to airing their grievances on the public Internet, in hopes of resolving their particular complaint. We do all that we can to help meet a fair resolution to their satisfaction.
However what becomes unfair to us, are those customers who we feel have received everything they have asked for, and more, but then take it upon themselves to have an ongoing vindication against Heritage. To us, there is nothing more we can do to satisfy them. They are who they are. Vindictive and angry people do more harm to themselves than they think they are doing against a company. It is sad but true.
Heritage Web Solutions, with a customer base of over 10,000, receives less than one half of one percent in complaints. That is an impressively low number compared to the standards of today. We certainly would like to have zero complaints, but that is just not realistically possible. There will always be those people who cry foul, no matter what.
What you don't see on this complaint website are all the positive emails and letters we receive daily from customers who are extremely happy with the service and work we have provided for them.
Heritage Web Solutions is a good, solid custom web design and hosting company that has an excellent rating with the Better Business Bureau and the Utah State Department of Commerce. We are ranked in the top 1% of web hosting companies in the United States and have recently been recognized by Inc 500.
If you feel that Heritage Web Solutions is not taking care of you, I would invite you to contact me at my personal email address at email@example.com, and I will personally follow up on your issue.
Warmest Regards,

Book Review: Author Donna Ingham's Tales from Texas
4 comments:
- Mama-Bug said...
Sounds like some interesting reading Granny Sue. I'll have to check Donna's books out on Amazon after Christmas. Hubby always sticks a little mad money in my christmas stocking and spending it on a new book or two sounds like a plan!
- Mon Dec 13, 09:27:00 PM

I like that--mad money in your stocking. I'm going to drop that bug in my hubby's ear :)
I think you'd enjoy these, Mama-bug. They're a fun read.

Sue, why do I feel like I have heard of her before? I think I will look into getting these. It would be fun to share the "facts' with the grandkids in TX. :)
- Tue Dec 14, 08:05:00 AM
- Granny Sue said...
I think your Texas kids--all of them--will like these books, Theresa. Christopher will especially like the legends and Susan will be able to supply the native's knowledge to Donna's words.
I think her name might be familiar to you from Facebook? She comments sometimes on my posts. I've known Donna for a good while, ever since I started telling stories, really. Unfortunately, I only get to see her occasionally, at storytelling conferences and such.

On Google- Plus, I've been added by a lot of authors who do nothing but promote. I don't add them back. I don't want endless blog posts, or buy my book demands. I want engagement. I'm on Facebook, and there is an author there I grew up loving. She added me back, and it thrilled me. I know more about her precious dogs than her upcoming novels, and it works. She interacts.
The other problem is the refusal to engage. When you promote, you need to be ready to answer questions, throw out thanks, and engage with your readers, not just post things and let them sit and be read.
This is a universe of action. Long gone are the times when an author could expect to send off a manuscript, then receive a regular check for the rest of his life.
Now we gotta work. 😉
The line gets crossed, in my opinion, when I am offered only more promotion in return for my time and engagement. If you expect someone to give you money (be it for a book, an indiegogo campaign, or whatever) you have to give them something in return. These days, just the product isn't enough. If you want me to be a loyal reader, and all authors do (first sales aren't enough, you need FANS)– you have to give me something for the time I spend reading your blogs, your posts, your social media.
And it had damn well better be something more than "look, something else I want you to give me!"Reply
I think a lot of the problem is how many avenues authors have for promotion these days. I'm relatively new to Google+ and am still learning the ropes of it, but I do have a line between the writing circle and the private family circle. On Facebook the line is a little blurry because of that whole author page versus regular page and when I started on it I only had the personal page so everyone got a mix of … well … everything.
I don't know why but talking about my son on Google+ makes me a little nervous. I think maybe my mind is conjuring a false level of professionalism for it, which is why my posts are so few over there whereas Facebook hears from me almost every day. I watch some really talented people talk about all their crafts and fun pens (or moleskins) and I interact in the comments and what have you as much as possible. It just seemed like the better avenue to support others while I'm trying to acclimate to the Google+ environment.
And yes, I'm definitely a "wade slowly into the water" sort of person instead of jumping in head-first. But that's just my personality and I'm sure it has its drawbacks — like a lack of content on the Googles while I test everything out.
That said, I don't mind promotion on a once a week basis. Promotion on a three to four times a day basis makes my eye twitch. (That's not counting book launch countdowns or anything that obviously has a time limit. Those can be fun and entertaining to watch, actually.)Reply
You know what the problem with my website is? I need a plugin that lets me +1 both of your comments. Because I totally agree with both of you. 🙂Reply
In general, I watch how much other authors pay it forward, compared to how much they promote themselves. An author who seems genuinely interested in other authors, in sharing experiences and connecting — that person, I'll take a lot of self-promo from. Someone who clearly views their fellow bloggers / authors / whatever as cash cows or marketing resources — those people, I have very little time for.Reply
Me too. I definitely have a much higher tolerance level for those who are more than just about getting money from me. I'll put up with a lot from someone who actively engages with the community, with me, and with other readers or writers. But I also have a very low tolerance for those who do nothing but post links to the reviews they've gotten on their books, do nothing but talk about promoting themselves. They get uncircled. If they notify me without me asking for a notification, instant block, too!Reply

His fingerstyle blues is reminiscent of Mississippi John Hurt and Lightnin' Hopkins. And his recent CD, Pictures of the Highway, reached #6 on the Folk DJ Chart. HIs youtube videos have been viewed more than 100,000 times.
Marc spends much ofhis time on the road— playing festivals, clubs, arts centers, libraries and house concerts. He was a winner at the prestigious Grassy Hill Kerrville New Folk Competition. Sometime a Spark, his song about Mohamed Bouazizi and the Arab Spring, caused an international stir that led to airplay and a live interview on Tunisian State Radio.
He recently completed a duet CD entitled Champions of Love with piano great, Warren Bernhardt. (http://www.warrenbernhardt.com/).
While still in high school, his band, the Blades of Grass, reached the top forty and performed along side the biggest acts of the day including the Doors, Van Morrison and Neil Diamond. He has since recorded more than a dozen CDs including one 'pick hit' in Billboard Magazine and another that was recognized as a 'minor masterpiece' by famed music producer John Hammond Sr.
In the 1980s, Marc won the American Library Association Award for Best Children's Album for producing American Children, a collaboration with such talented artists as Richie Havens, Taj Mahal and Maria Muldaur. ASCAP has featured Marc in performance at the Sundance Film Festival.
Over the past couple years, he's occasionally turned to a more topical style of songwriting. No Fracking Way, recorded with John Sebastian and Eric Weissberg of 'Dueling Banjos' fame, has been sung at rallies in five continents
