Top Three Reasons The "Good Old Days" Weren't Necessarily Always So Good For Car Owners
Remember when you had to pay extra to have seat belts installed in a new car? How about 90-days warranties, new car "break-in" periods and 30,000-mile tires? It wasn't so long ago that buying and maintaining a daily driver was really a chore. Here're a few, fun little reminders of what went into buying and maintaining a new car 50-odd years ago when times were slower and our attention spans longer.
Everything Was A Option
[source: curbsideclassic.com]
Remember when safety equipment in new vehicles amounted to a couple of seat belts—barebones lap belts that cost extra to install—on the driver and passenger side? Forget any seat belts in the back, unless you wanted to pay extra. One of the big reasons why base prices on cars from the 1950s and 1960s seem so ridiculously low is because pretty much EVERYTHING back then was optional.
Basic car prices didn't include a heater, cigarette lighter (even though 50-percent of adults smoked in the 1960s), seat belts (nobody bought or wore them anyway), rearview mirror, and certainly not a radio (which would have been AM only when purchased). Except for more luxurious brands like Cadillac, upper-end Buicks and Mercurys, floors were covered with rubber mats unless you ordered carpet. Whitewalls, fancy trim and full-wheel covers (instead of dog-dish hubcaps) were all extra cost. Even backup lights cost extra on many cars.
Typically, luxuries like power steering, power brakes, power door locks, power seats, power windows, push-button radio (instead of twirling a dial) were only purchased by the wealthy. And air-conditioning? Forget about that. Even Cadillac and Lincoln didn't start offering air conditioning as standard equipment until the 1970s.
A Whole Lotta Work
Today, we enjoy working on our old cars because—let's be honest—we don't have to rely on them for daily transportation but instead only memories and fun.
Old car enthusiasts love to get all nostalgic about old-timey gas stations where young, strapping men in coveralls used to cheerily pop the hood to give the engine a once-over while they filled the tank and squeegeed the windshield. But there was a really good reason why everything under the hood needed checking at almost every gas stop—old engines demanded it.
The pushrod engines we love so much required much more frequent maintenance and attention than our current daily drivers. Tighter manufacturing tolerances, the incorporation of sophisticated electronics, and a market frankly averse to mechanical maintenance has rendered the typical tune-up obsolete. No longer do car owners worry about burned up points, greasing fittings, and topping off batteries. While your typical 1960s steel-laden steed required constant attention to keep in running condition, today's drivers are lucky to change the windshield wipers, or maybe replace a timing belt at about the time the vintage pushrod engine would have needed a top-end. Check out this maintenance schedule for a 1967 Thunderbird and compare to that of the one for the car you drive to work everyday.

Strikingly, many of today's new cars offer no advice for engine break-in. While it may still be a good idea to take certain precautions on a brand new engine you likely will not find it in the owner's manual for your new car and if you do, the prescriptions are certainly more lax than those set for the cars of the 1960s.
And on top of all of this, remember those 90-day car warranties? That's right, 90 days! Now compare that to you're 10 year/100,000 miles…
About Those Back-In-The-Day New Car Prices
Those old showroom prices, weren't they great? Back in the day, if you wanted a barebones model with absolutely no add-ons, a few thousand dollars could buy you just about any car on any lot. But the idea that cars used to be cheaper relative to buyers' income is somewhat skewed.
Running the numbers on 1965-era Mustang, Porsche and Corvette compared to their modern counterparts, Hemmings Daily provided an excellent reality check that shows modern cars are actually cheaper to buy and run today than ever before.
[source: hemmings.com]
"In 1965," writes Kurt Ernst, "the sticker price of a new V-8 powered Ford Mustang coupe was $2,734.00 (the equivalent of $19,900 today), and the average production worker made $3.00 per hour; to purchase a new Mustang coupe with a V-8 engine, therefore, required 911 hours of work, or about 23 weeks. By 1985, the cost of an eight-cylinder Mustang had risen to $9,885.00 (today's $21,100), while production wages had risen to $12.50 per hour, meaning that one needed to toil for just 791 hours (120 hours less than in 1965) to buy one."
Old cars required more maintenance, more often. And, when you adjust for inflation, even gas was more expensive. Ernst compares pump prices, too, showing how a Saturday-evening cruise is actually easier on the pocketbook these days. Click here to check out the numbers and read Ernst's entire breakdown.

The Roundup: February 2017


The civil rights movement passing was an extremely proud moment in American history. The injustices faced on African American people before the passing of this movement were horrible. Many American citizens felt as though the movement should have not been a problem, as we all deserve a quality. Unfortunely, this was a highly debated topic between the north and south United States. This paper will discuss how African Americans finally received the equality that all people deserve.
It is an embarrassment that we had the civil rights movements just to realize that we are all equal. The government should be mortified of themselves for even thinking of taking somebody's rights away from them just because of their skin color. We are the same in different ways; we are all similar in many ways as well. However, we should be incredibly proud of how far this nation has traveled from the days of slavery. Despite the fact that our civilization has been threw an assortment of things we have still stayed strong and that has turned into the great nation that we live in now.
We discussed one of our most widespread issues as a country. It is a shame to imagine a time when an African American could not enjoy the same liberties as other races. I am glad we were able to preset this humiliation in our modern history. Incredibly, this controversial issue was met with much conflict that prevailed. It is just unfortunate that our Country, the land of the free, took so long to truly allow all the same inate rights.

The ascendance of Donald Trump has prompted many to look back and chart the factors and events that led him to power. In that regard, his John the Baptist was Sarah Palin, whose talk of "real Americans" in the 2008 campaign set the groundwork for a conservative populist nationalism that would come to dominate rightwing Republican politics. It was embodied in the rise of the Tea Party, who the media thought was about taxes, rather than the desire for a white nationalist republic that the slogan "take our country back" so obviously implied in the age of Obama.
That nationalism is of course part of a frightening international trend, from Xi's China to Orban's Hungary to Modi's India. One defining aspect of that nationalism in both Europe and North America is hatred of Muslims. While the national media covered the Tea Party Spring of 2010 as if it were an uprising against taxes and "big government," it mostly ignored the flood of paranoia about Islam and "sharia law." States like Tennessee and Oklahoma moved to ban the non-existent use of sharia in the court system due to some supposed attempt by Muslims to take over the country. Those laws were passed after the Tea Party wave crashed into those states and many others.
The one instance of rampant Islamophobia in the Tea Party year of 2010 that reached the national media conversation was the furor over the supposed "Ground Zero Mosque." In retrospect, this incident ought to be seen as a major harbinger of the rise of Trump. I was especially shaken by it at the time, because I actually witnessed it.
It was a summer day, and I was in the New York area and visiting my wife, who lived in New Jersey. At the time I was stupidly living in rural east Texas and maintaining a long distance marriage. During this time I summered in beautiful, sunny Newark, and soaked up as much of New York as I could as an antidote to the stultifying rural existence I carried on most of the year. I went to the city that day by myself, since my wife was tired and wanted some time to rest and I wanted to have one last trip to the Big Apple before heading back to the country. At the end of a day bumming around Manhattan, I walked down to the World Trade Center PATH station to get the train back to Newark, and I saw them.
There was a horde of people who definitely did not look like New Yorkers or the usual tourists you'd see gawking at the Ground Zero site. The crowd was uniformly white, with eyes full of hard, direct stares with hatred smoldering behind them. One memory above all stands out to me. I saw a child, maybe nine or ten years old holding a sign. It simply said "Sharia" in red letters dripping with blood. He had such a look of anger on his face that I couldn't avert my gaze. I was chilled wondering how many children were being made to think like this. These were people who had come out in the open in public for all to see to proclaim their hatred of a group of people because of their religion. It is hard to describe, but there was a feeling in the air that I had never felt before, a palpable feeling of hate that seemed to just emanate from the crowd's bodies.
The media, in its quest for "fairness" and "objectivity" rarely pointed out that 1. this was a community center, not a mosque; 2. it was to be located a few blocks away from the World Trade Center site, which in lower Manhattan terms might as well be on a different planet; and 3. Iman Feisal Abdul Rauf, who spearheaded the measure, was from a Sufi background, and thus despised by the Wahhabists who committed the 9/11 attack.
It also gave a platform to "respectable" politicians spouting bigotry. Newt Gingrich (remember him?) said "Nazis don't have the right to put up a sign next to the Holocaust Museum in Washington…we would never accept the Japanese putting up a site next to Pearl Harbor. There's no reason for us to accept a mosque next to the World Trade Center." Notwithstanding the fact that the planned center was in no way next to the site, Gingrich implied that all Muslims were somehow responsible for the attack, and compared the Muslim faith to Nazism. He was still allowed to have a political career, as pathetic as it was, as were other politicians.
Beyond political and media figures, the "Ground Zero Mosque" paranoia helped maintain a broader wave of anti-Muslim hate in America that had jumped up after 9/11 and the invasion of Iraq (which that hate helped garner popular support for) . It was after the protests in New York that a Florida pastor called for a Quran burning at his church. That incident caused a ruckus, but for the most part the media failed to connect the dots between the many, many examples of anti-Muslim hate happening across the country. This is hardly surprise, since when Muslims and Sikhs were targeted by violence and even murder after 9/11, it was always treated as a local, isolated issue.
This might be a good time to remember that the current president of the United States called for killing the family members of suspected terrorists when he was running for office. Or that he talked lustily of killing Muslims accused of terrorism with bullets dipped in pigs' blood. Or that he has repeatedly tried to ban people from several predominately Muslim countries from stepping into the United States. The Fox News bloviating about the supposed "Victory Mosque" primed its viewers for Trump's message of intolerance.
Not only that, hedge fund billionaire Robert Mercer, who bankrolled Trump's campaign, also provided most of the money for the movement against the "Ground Zero Mosque." Mercer and his daughter Rebekah have been the most important financial backers for the alt-right, most notably for Breitbart, modern America's answer to Der Stürmer. Most people act like the alt-right came out of nowhere two years ago, but the ground for its rise was laid by people like the Mercers using events like the controversy over the "Ground Zero Mosque" to fuel the fires of white nationalism.
And so today we must live with a man as president who is the avatar of that crowd I saw on that summer day in 2010. The Mercers still fund the hate that drives them, it uses Cambridge Analytica to weaponize that hate on social media, and the media continues to enable it. It is a bad road, but don't claim that we just started driving on it. Perhaps #TheResistance should have been mobilized before it was too late. It is a great shame that the willingness to defend Muslims is so weak even among purported liberals that the current wave of hate was not combatted before it crashed down on this nation.
For more of our coverage of of these issues, see our "Is Trump Sui Generis?" series (short-sighted, perhaps, but still insightful) and essays on conservatism and race.
I tend to be a fairly conservative person, but that said, I was horrified when I saw that news coverage. It's taking a whole bunch of people and demonizing them for the sins of a few. I wonder if we'd have seen the same reaction had it been IRA terrorists instead of Al-Qaeda terrorists?
If we also consider the work of individuals who fit the ideals presented by the nation, but turn to non-Islamic terrorists: they are just labelled as mentally ill ect… yet we do not demonise everyone with similarities to them.


Feet are complicated. They contain numerous bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments that all sustain incredible force loads (even from just walking and standing during an average day). Further, there are numerous injuries and conditions that can develop in feet. Whereas this can all be rather complicated, some solutions for foot pain are simple.
Foot pain develops for an array of different reasons. A couple of common ones are sports injuries and plantar fasciitis.
Sports and physical activities are a great way to improve—and maintain—your physical health and well-being. Unfortunately, they do come with a certain degree of injury risk. Now, there are measures you can take to lower that risk, but you may need to use first aid to relieve pain when you've been hurt playing your favorite sport or working out.
Rest – Protect the injured area by taking time to rest and keep bodyweight off it. This will help prevent the injury from worsening, while at the same time allowing your body to begin its natural healing processes.
Ice – Apply an ice pack wrapped in a thin towel (to prevent skin damage) to the injured area as soon as possible to relieve pain and reduce inflammation. Keep the ice on the site of the injury for 15 – 20 minutes at a time, and then repeat every couple of hours.
Compression – Wrap an elastic wrap tightly—but not tight—around the injured area. If numbness, tingling, or a change in skin tone develops, loosen the wrap a bit.
Elevation – Keep your injured limb elevated above heart-level to further reduce swelling and inflammation.
Rest. In many cases, heel pain is caused by overuse. Accordingly, taking time away from your normal high-impact activities (running, jumping) or cross-training with low-impact activities (cycling, yoga, swimming) may help.
Stretching. When connective tissues like your plantar fascia are overused or endure excessive strain, they can become inflamed and cause pain. Improving lower limb flexibility can help for relieving painful symptoms (and preventing pain from happening in the first place).
Footwear choices. Shoes featuring robust arch support and ample cushioning in the heel area are beneficial in preventing plantar fasciitis. More than that, though, they may be instrumental in improving an existing case.
Orthotic devices. If proper footwear does not offer enough support, you might benefit from orthotic devices. We craft these to work specifically with your unique foot structure (and gait pattern). Correcting abnormal biomechanical patterns can help relieve excessive strain on your plantar fascia.
As noted earlier, the simplest solution for your foot and ankle pain is to come see our team here at Fixing Feet Institute. Give us a call at (623) 584-5556 and one of our friendly staff members can help schedule your appointment with our Surprise, AZ office.


Last week I wrote a piece about How to get back into a sleeping routine. A friend of mine commented that it all sounded like great advice, if only she could get her 5 month-old to sleep for longer than 2 hours and BE in a regular bedtime routine, which gave me the idea to write a post on How to start a Bedtime Routine in the first place. After going through 2 babies, here are the things that I would recommend for new moms with small babies.
When should you start your Baby on a sleeping ritual?
For me, the first time around, with Little Miss I, it took about 5 to 6 months to start a bedtime ritual. With Tiny A, I started him when he was 2 months-old.
The first thing you should do is to establish clearly for your baby the difference between night and day, as soon as they are born. When it is nighttime, change their diaper, feed and put to sleep with dim lights, no fuzz and no playing. During daytime keep it bright and try to play them. That will be their first clue on nights and days being different.
When your baby begins sleeping between 4 to 5 hour stretches at night, it is the perfect moment to start a bedtime routine and ritual. Be mindful that this routine will change with their age — and also with each individual child. My daughter needed a nightlight, music, stories, white noise (thank you, Sleep Sheep!). My son? Exactly the opposite: he needed to be as warm as possible and bundled up, no noise, no light. The first and most important thing is for you to be mindful and in tune with what your child needs: What makes them feel comfortable? What makes them feel secure? Also, my daughter was a thumb-sucker, while my son has been a pacifier baby since he was a month old — she used to fall asleep while nursing, while my son never falls asleep after having his milk. Once you establish what your child needs to go beddy-bye, stick to the same steps night after night. With my daughter it was putting her pajamas on, her sleep sack, reading a couple of picture books, singing a song, starting the Sleep Sheep and breastfeeding her. For my son it was putting his pajamas, sleep sack and breastfeeding, then pacifier and singing to him while on the crib, turning all lights off and keeping quiet.
If you learn to tell your baby's sleep cues, and then start the bedtime ritual, then your child is going to associate the feeling sleepy with the going to bed. Now my almost 18 month-old brings me his pacifier and blankie when he's ready to go down for a nap or for the night. If you disregard these cues and prolong the going to bed, your child will get overtired and putting them down to bed (ritual or not) will become a battle… with a pretty heavy toll for both you and your baby.
Make sure that whatever ritual you pick, it is something your child is looking forward to, as well as something you enjoy doing. This is for the long run — so, if rocking a child to sleep is not your thing, then avoid putting that into the mix. The simpler you keep it, the easier it is going to be to replicate night after night. These days Tiny A tolerates light better at night, so I just cuddle him to sleep while reading a book.
Whatever bedtime routine you start, keep it going. There will be times when they start waking up in the middle of the night again (because of teeth, colds, tummy aches, or just because), but if you keep that first putting down to bed consistent, and keep middle-of-the-night interruptions in dim-light, with little or no talking, etc, your child will know what to expect. That being said, if you realize your child is just too tired, cut part of the ritual out (like stories or songs), and get right to the part when you put them down — having them go to bed with dirty feet is better than dealing with an overtired, cranky baby.
Have you tried any of these ideas? What has worked for you?

Fern  Britton (born 17 July 1957) is an English author and television presenter. She co-presented Breakfast Time in the 1980s, coming to mainstream national attention when hosting cookery game show Ready Steady Cook between 1994 and 2000 on BBC One. She presented ITV's This Morning programme from 1999 to 2009. In 2012, she participated in Strictly Come Dancing, where she was paired with professional dancer Artem Chigvintsev. Since 2010, she has also published a number of bestselling novels and books of short stories and non-fiction.

Early life and education

Britton was born in Ealing, London, to English actor Tony Britton and his first wife, Ruth Hawkins. She attended Dr Challoner's High School in Little Chalfont, Buckinghamshire, and the Central School of Speech and Drama, where she trained in stage management.

Career

Early work as a presenter
After working with The Cambridge Theatre Company, Britton began her broadcasting career in March 1980 in Plymouth working for Westward Television, the then-incumbent ITV regional company, as a continuity announcer and newsreader on the weeknightly local bulletin Westward Diary. After Westward lost its franchise at the end of 1981, Britton moved to the local BBC headquarters as a presenter with Spotlight in the South West, before moving to BBC 1's Breakfast Time, where she became the BBC's youngest-ever national news presenter. She was also a stand-in co-presenter on News After Noon during this period.

Britton then worked for TVS in Southampton, co-hosting the South edition of the news programme Coast to Coast with Fred Dinenage, as well as Coast to Coast People, The Television Show, Magic Moments and, as presenter with Stefan Buczacki, of That's Gardening. She stayed until TVS's franchise ended in December 1992.

In January 1993, she joined London News Network's London Tonight, before moving in April 1993 to GMTV to present the post-9:00 am slot, Top of the Morning. Britton moved back to Carlton Television to present After Five in 1994. She also appeared in the first two series of The Brian Conley Show.

ITV
Britton had guest presented This Morning since 1993, but from September 1999 she became a full-time host presenting the Friday edition with John Leslie. In 2002, she became the main host of the series along with John Leslie and, later, with Phillip Schofield.

In 2006, Britton co-presented the reality television show Soapstar Superstar. On 31 May 2007, she hosted the Classical Brit Awards at the Royal Albert Hall and she also co-hosted The British Soap Awards from 2006 until 2008 with Phillip Schofield.

In 2007, Britton presented her own  ITV Saturday night series called That's What I Call Television. In each show, she was joined by a celebrity co-host who selected their favourite TV moments from the 1980s and then reunited some of the original stars of selected shows. Julian Clary was her first co-host, followed by Matthew Kelly on the second show, and finally Bradley Walsh for the third. In December 2007, a Christmas edition was broadcast with co-host Ronnie Corbett, and a week later another was broadcast, this time with Desmond Lynam.

From 2008 until 2010, Britton co-presented a revival of the ITV show Mr & Mrs; this time it was an "All Star" version. She co-hosted the show with Phillip Schofield.

In November 2008, Britton announced she was to take a break from This Morning and return after the Christmas break in January 2009. Britton announced on 25 March 2009 that she was leaving This Morning, after 10 years, at the end of the current series. Two days after quitting This Morning, Britton pulled out of hosting the 2009 British Soap Awards alongside co-host Phillip Schofield.

On 17 July 2009, Britton's 52nd birthday, her farewell This Morning programme was aired. Britton made her comeback to ITV in 2017, presenting daytime series Culinary Genius. She also presented A Right Royal Quiz for the channel.

BBC
From 1994, Britton presented the television cookery gameshow Ready Steady Cook, which she continued until 2000. Britton has appeared twice as a panellist on the BBC show, Have I Got News for You, and guest presented on 27 April 2007 and  on 17 October 2008. In 2009, Britton returned to the BBC and was a team captain on the BBC One trivia panel show As Seen on TV.

Since 2009, Britton hosted a series for BBC One called Fern Britton Meets... in which she interviewed high-profile personalities about their religious beliefs. The series attracted particular attention for an interview with former Prime Minister Tony Blair, in which he said he still would have thought it right that Iraqi president Saddam Hussein be removed even without evidence he had weapons of mass destruction.

Since 2014, Britton has presented The Big Allotment Challenge for BBC Two. The series was commissioned for a second series which aired in early 2015. In January 2016, she began presenting the BBC One antiques game show For What It's Worth.

Channel 4
On 2 November 2009, Britton appeared as a stand-in host on The Paul O'Grady Show for two weeks.

On 2 February 2011, it was confirmed that Britton would be taking over the 5:00 pm chatshow slot on Channel 4 that Paul O'Grady previously hosted. The show, Fern, began on 28 March 2011. The programme drew low audience figures and was reported to be facing a revamp, change of timeslot or cancellation after its second week on air. The show has since been confirmed as axed in its present form but Britton may work on other projects for Channel 4.

Strictly Come Dancing

On 10 September 2012, Britton was confirmed as one of the 14 celebrities taking part in the tenth series of Strictly Come Dancing. Her professional partner was  Artem Chigvintsev.

Other work
In 1988, Britton took part in Cinderella, a pantomime in which she played the role of Dandini at the  Mayflower Theatre in Southampton. She was presenting Coast to Coast from the city at the time and her preparation for the part was filmed for the programme.

Britton has featured in advertisements for several companies and causes, including appearances as herself in advertisements for several Ryvita Minis, and in the 2007 What's it going to take? campaign for the charitable organisation Women's Aid.

March 1998 saw the launch of Britton's first book, Fern's Family Favourites, published by André Deutsch and written with the cook and home economist Susie Magasiner. In November 2008, Fern, My Story was published by Michael Joseph. It went straight into The Sunday Times Top Ten Bestseller list where it remained for 12 weeks. Britton has written 6 novels New Beginnings, Hidden Treasures, The Holiday Home, A Seaside Affair, A Good Catch and The Postcard to date (November 2016). All have been in The Sunday Times bestseller list. In 2016, she signed a three-book deal with the publishers HarperCollins and is working on a television script.

She was the subject of This Is Your Life in 2002 when she was surprised by Michael Aspel at Wickham Hospital in Buckinghamshire.

In May 2011, Britton played herself in a short independently made film by Mark Davenport called Photoshopping alongside lead Joan Kempson.

In January 2018, it was announced that Britton would play Marie in the touring production of Calendar Girls The Musical.

Personal life
Britton's first marriage was to TV executive Clive Jones. The couple met while Jones was still married and began an affair. Britton broke off their affair after a year but Jones turned up on her doorstep two days later, after leaving his wife for her. The couple married on 12 November 1988 in Southsea and have three children together: twin sons Jack and Harry (born 1994) and daughter Grace (born 1997). Her marriage to Jones disintegrated shortly after the birth of their daughter and the couple separated in January 1998. A year later, Britton began dating celebrity chef Phil Vickery after they met on the set of BBC Two's Ready Steady Cook. After her divorce was finalised, they married in spring 2000. They have one daughter together, Winifred (born 2001)  Vickery and Britton announced on their Twitter accounts on 29 January 2020 that they were separating after 20 years of marriage.

Lyndall Gordon says:
Lyndall Gordon born 4 November 1941 is a British based writer and academic, known for her literary biographies She is a Senior Research Fellow at St Hilda s College, Oxford.Born in Cape Town, she was an undergraduate at the University of Cape Town, then a doctoral student at Columbia University in New York City She married the pathologist Siamon Gordon they have two daughters.Gordon is the author of Eliot s Early Years 1977 , which won the British Academy s Rose Mary Crawshay Prize Virginia Woolf A Writer s Life 1984 , which won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize Charlotte Bront A Passionate Life 1994 , winner of the Cheltenham Prize for Literature and Vindication A Life of Mary Wollstonecraft, shortlisted for the BBC Four Samuel Johnson Prize Her most recent publication is Lives Like Loaded Guns Emily Dickinson and her Family s Feuds 2010 , which has overturned the established assumptions about the poet s life from
In writing this biography Lyndall Gordon chooses to follow Virginia Woolf's own premise that a person's life is shaped by essentially private moments of inspiration and humiliation rather than external events. Gordon seeks to understand Woolf more through her fiction than her social persona which she claims was in many ways stagecrafted, a pose of offhand verbal banter very much of its time. She thus debunks the somewhat patronising distorting notion that Woolf was frigid and a lesbian – b [...]
London Literary says:
"We are born with the dead:See, they return, and bring us with them. " --T.S. EliotI have read multiple Woolf biographies and as they are informed by her exquisite writing, I have found each to be illuminating. Gordon's work is a careful weave of her life and her writing--and I think is very effective in revealing both. Some bios on Woolf have focused on her tragedy- Gordon has a way of writing that focuses on her energy and brilliance. I also appreciate how he understand her precarious historic [...]
In reading this luminous biography of Virginia Woolf, one learns much about the extraordinary interplay between her life and her work, which, by and large are the same thing. One might say there are actually two biographies here, one of Mrs. Woolf and the other of her work. The beauty of the book is that it discusses in great and finely researched detail the beautiful subtlety of this interplay and the incredible artistry of Mrs. Woolf in her ability to use it to bring her works into being. This [...]
Antonio Perricone says:
I really enjoyed many parts of this book, especially the first half in which Gordon analyses To The Lighthouse in the context of Woolf's childhood. Overall the biography is littered with little gleaming facts and insights that I'm glad to have read but I couldn't help finding Gordon's narrative voice rather irritating. The ease with which Gordon dismisses Orlando as a mere gender bending experiment, a trite intelligent game - an extension of Woolf's public performance, felt rather reductive and [...]
I've read a lot about Woolf, and this book is light on the 'biography' aspect, but very good on Woolf as a writer. I really enjoyed Gordon's detailed look at Woolf's books, particularly The Waves and To the Lighthouse, and her take on Woolf's creative process. I was frustrated by some things - her blatant dismissal of Woolf's relationship with Vita Sackville West, and other women as lacking depth, and her (I think) overemphasis on her relationship with Leonard Woolf among them. In spite of this [...]
Kait says:
This was an okay book. It's basically deconstructing V. Woolf's biography in light of the novels she wrote. While it's interesting, I always judge a book harshly if 30 pages from the end, I still don't care. There were moments when I was compelled to read further, but the section on the Waves felt like a watered-down version of the lecture I attended on it in college with a few biographical flourishes that were neither enlightening nor all that compelling. All the book made me do was wish I was [...]
More of an attempt to understand Woolf through her writing than a conventional timeline biography. Gordon's insights often enriched my understanding of Woolf's novels. I especially enjoyed the chapter on The Waves. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone interested in Woolf the writer.
Small but engrossing bio of the author.
Interesting look at Virginia Woolf's life and into biography as art.
Diane Blodgett says:
This was a very scholarly book and difficult to read. Though despite that, I found it quite interesting.
This book is great for its discussion of Woolf's novels, but as a biography, we get only a vague picture of VW's life.

Guardiola says Man City will only make a move for 'special talent'
Guardiola says Man City will only make a move for 'special talent'
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola said Friday he will only dip into the transfer market for a "special" talent after a relatively quiet summer of business for the Premier League champions.
City's only high-profile signing so far has been Riyad Mahrez from Leicester in a club-record £60 million ($78 million) deal but Italy international midfielder Jorginho plumped for Chelsea.
"We will see," Guardiola said of the club's transfer business ahead of Sunday's Community Shield match against FA Cup winners Chelsea.
"If at the end we decide to bring another one, it is because he's a special player, can be a special player for the future, not to have one more player for the number.
"So, I'm so satisfied — all my period here, even the first year — with the squad we have. Now from Monday we'll be all together. We are going to start to think what we have do to this season to maintain the level of last season."
Several players are likely to move on before the window closes on Thursday, with goalkeeper Joe Hart looking to make a permanent exit after difficult loan spells at Torino and West Ham.
Guardiola said he was delighted that Brazil forward Gabriel Jesus, 21, had signed a contract extension.
"Gabriel has improved a lot since he came," the City boss said. "His courage, his fight to put every effort for the team is incredible."
Jesus is one of a number of players back in the City reckoning after the World Cup, with Kevin De Bruyne and Raheem Sterling the only squad members yet to return to the fold.
Summer signing Mahrez has been given the green light to feature at Wembley on Sunday after an ankle complaint but Guardiola is unable to call upon midfielder Douglas Luiz as he waits on a work permit.
– Jorginho swoop –
New Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri swooped in at the last minute to bring Jorginho to Stamford Bridge from Napoli.
"We were close but, in the end, Jorginho decided to stay with (former Napoli boss) Maurizio," Guardiola said."
Despite missing out on the Italy international, Guardiola spoke positively about Sarri.
"The team already in a short time plays like he wants," the City boss said. "Of course, he needs more time to work but his ideas are already there, so I think it'll be a good game (on Sunday).
"Always Chelsea is a big rival. Antonio (Conte) was. I am delighted that players with this style of play will be perfect for English football. I am so happy he came here."
Guardiola said his team wanted to win the Community Shield to get their season off to a flying start but admitted they would not better last season's results in the Premier League.
"In terms of results, in the Premier League I cannot overcome the results, the numbers of last season, but in the way we play, yes," he said.
"And in other competitions, the FA Cup and Champions League, always we can do better. If I felt it's done and we cannot improve I would not be here. I stay here because I think we can improve, but to get more than 100 points — no."

SuperFogeys - SuperFogeys Issue 3 Now Available on Comixology… and Other Announcements!
SuperFogeys Issue 3 Now Available on Comixology… and Other Announcements!
Many of you have been asking about this for a while now and I'm pleased to report that the next issue of The SuperFogeys just went live on Comixology!
Issue 3 collects both Chapter 5 "The Redemption of Dr. Rocket" and Chapter 6 "Funeral for a Frenemy." Chapter 6 has actually NEVER before been collected anywhere, in print or otherwise.
What I love best about Comixology is the option to read a panel at a time. It's an experience entirely unique to the digital medium and, for those of us familiar with the story, I think it makes it fresh again.
More issues on the way very, very soon. I'll keep you guys posted.
• It's been decided: we're moving to a 3-times-a-week schedule. I know we promised that upon our return in June we'd go to 5-times-a-week, but what I'm hearing from both our patrons on Patreon and those of you who would like to pledge is that 3-times-a-week would be more agreeable. So, there we go. Done.
• I continue to do everything I can on Patreon to make the wait until our return in June easier. Just yesterday I posted an early peek at SF 659, the 14th strip in the upcoming Chapter 20. I highlighted this one in particular because it's a good example of how the collaboration between me and Marc works–and works well.
That's it for now! If you want to find out more about the SuperFogeys Patreon and see the video I made (and, sadly, starred in) to tell you all about it, click here.

The Colonial Office and the Retreat from Aden: Great Britain in South Arabia, 1957-1967
Craig A. Harrington
Mediterranean Quarterly (2014) 25 (3): 5–26.
Craig A. Harrington; The Colonial Office and the Retreat from Aden: Great Britain in South Arabia, 1957-1967. Mediterranean Quarterly 1 September 2014; 25 (3): 5–26. doi: https://doi.org/10.1215/10474552-2772235
British geostrategic considerations underwent an ad hoc metamorphosis during the decade following Great Britain's retreat from formal territorial empire (1957-67). This essay investigates the shifting roles envisioned by British policymakers for vestigial colonial holdings in the Arabian Peninsula, specifically the Colony of Aden and Protectorate of Aden. Throughout the decade in question, policies regarding the burgeoning Cold War, the decline of formal empire, and Britain's role in the world as an independent power and key partner of the United States became differentiated from initial postwar positions. Aden played a vital role in this decision making while providing a rough proxy of larger geopolitical trends.

Pistorius begins psychiatric tests
in Global News, Latest News, Uncategorized
Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius has entered a psychiatric hospital in South Africa's capital, Pretoria, for the start of his mental evaluation.
The judge at his murder trial has ordered that his mental state be assessed by health experts as an outpatient for up to 30 days.
It comes after a defence witness said the double amputee was suffering from Generalised Anxiety Disorder (Gad).
Mr Pistorius denies intentionally killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
The Olympic and Paralympic track star says he accidentally shot her through the toilet door on Valentine's Day last year in a state of panic, mistaking the 29-year-old model and law graduate for an intruder.
Mr Pistorius arrived before 09:00 local time (07:00 GMT) at Weskoppies psychiatric hospital, where he will be assessed for seven hours.
He will have to do this every weekday for the next month; the court's proceedings are not set to resume until 30 June. BBC
