We've said it before and we'll say it again: there's nothing quite so fascinating and deeply satisfying as watching the Hampstead SRA hoax pushers tear one another to shreds, metaphorically speaking of course. And during the past week we've been spoilt for choice.
Round 1: Charlotte v Belinda
It started with Charlotte Alton Ward's shot across Belinda's bow.
Among other improbabilities, she claimed that:
- The entire hoax was an "MK Ultra psy op";
- Belinda was at best a dupe of "the guilty parties", including but not limited to Sabine McNeill and Kristie Sue Costa (who Charlotte accused of being Sabine's "handler");
- This blog's longevity has been due to "large amounts of money" being paid out from MK Ultra's "endless black budgets";
- Belinda did a deal with the police to avoid prosecution;
- Charlotte's Hamster Research blog supported abused children;
- Her blog, her emails, and her MacBook laptop computer had been hacked by persons associated with MK Ultra, Belinda, or some combination thereof, and the number 69 had something to do with it.
Needless to say, Belinda was less than impressed with this analysis, and wrote back in her typical thin-lipped style. She berated Charlotte for repaying her hospitality with such unkind allegations. In turn, she claimed that
- Charlotte was probably only annoyed at Sabine and Kristie Sue because the latter had called Charlotte a Luciferian;
- Belinda had been "dead set" against Rupert Quaintance coming to the UK; but…
- Contrary to Rupert's defence arguments at his trial, he had actually come to the UK because of "very unpleasant people in a certain area…he came to face them up";
- She had also been "dead set" against the demonstrations outside Christ Church Hampstead;
- She hadn't done a deal with the police;
- Sabine didn't "beg" to take on the Hampstead case, and had not been the first person to release the videos;
- She expects that Sabine will end up in prison in 2018.
All in all, most satisfactory.
Round 2: Charlotte rallies
On 20 November, Charlotte struck back. She claimed that the Hampstead hoax, which she had supported unequivocally until late 2015 when Kristie Sue and the late Maria MacMahon turfed her out of the Sooper Seekrit Facebook Groop™, was nothing more than a psy op (by whom and for what purpose we really cannot tell).
She then launched into an attack on Angela Power-Disney. She claimed that Angie had "lured" both Jake Clarke and Rupert Quaintance into supporting the hoax (and we really cannot argue with her on that point).
Then Charlotte asked the $600,000 question: "So if it's all that serious, all these innocent alleged offenders, why haven't YOU BOTH gone down? It could be down to the inequalities of the 'legal system'. But if so, WHY do you keep supporting it and luring parents into it?"
Oh, and for good measure she tossed in a suggestion that Sabine might have hired someone to break her own window, presumably to make herself look like she was being victimised. Interesting if true.
She also accused Sabine and her mate Kristie Sue of "information gathering"—using Charlotte's alleged research without her permission.
One interesting titbit: Charlotte stated, "I am a pisshead, as you are…", implying that she and Belinda are both alcoholics. We have absolutely no evidence that this is the case, although some of our commenters say they have seen Belinda drinking the dregs from strangers' wine glasses in pubs. Still, that could be an excess of frugality, not an addiction to alcohol. Hard to say really.
Round 3: Angela v Charlotte
Surprisingly, it took Angela until 24 November to cobble together a response to Charlotte's allegations that she had lured both Rupert and Jake into the hoax. We reported on it here; here's a brief summary:
Angie: I did not engage in luring with those men. In fact, you lured me into supporting the hoax.
[False: Angela started posting about the hoax in early February. Unless she can show that this was as a result of "luring" by Charlotte, we will continue to reject this excuse.]
Angie: If Rupert doesn't watch his step when he gets out of prison, I will destroy him.
[Probably true. That's how Angie rolls. "Vindictive" is her middle name, we are told.]
And that brings us to…
Round 4: Yolande v Angela
Shortly after Angela's email on 24 November, Yolande (somewhat confusingly) shot back:
On Nov 24, 2017 16:02, Yolande Lindridge <YolandeLindridge@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Angela Power-Disney, please can you explain to myself and Sussex Police how you have got hold of a confidential email to Sussex Police? Charlotte Ward aka Jacqui Farmer emailed me this morning that she had been emailing Sussex Police but when I questioned her about her email she did not reply? Eugene Lubjanenko
went to prison for 8 months today and I have a hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice on 5.12.2017 about a re-run of the referendum. Leave me alone.
I sent a group email reply 4 days ago to Jacqui aka Charlotte's email 2 days earlier ie that she had emailed last Saturday, please stop trying to involve me in your 2 Russian/LibDem hoaxes (Hampstead's Ella & Lubjanenko) involving the Association of McKenzie Friends' LibDem sponsor, John Hemming MP to distract
from real child sex abuse scandals.
What does all this mean?
What have the Sussex Police got to do with the price of eggs in Egypt? How does the imprisonment of Eugene Lubjanenko relate to anything? Why is Yolande obsessed with John Hemming?
Your guess, dear reader, is as good as ours.
However, that was just the opening salvo. It was followed by another attack from Angela, who really seems to be hitting her stride, pagga-wise:

Subject: Re: More evidence that Hampstead is an MK Ultra psy op
Yolande Kenward Lindridge Gordon
It is discombobulating and ironic to receive an e mail from YOU saying LEAVE ME ALONE as I am ongoingly confounded by the e mail lists to which you circulate!!!
I simply press REPLY ALL so you must go back to source ie YOUR SELF to find out how and why who replied to whom.
Yes I know Eugene got months today and Yes I know Hampstead was to a great degree an inside Russian mafia job.
By the way I will 'RE ITERATE Sabine, love her or otherwise did NOT leak the damning children's testimony videos in the 1st 2nd or possibly 3rd instances…they were FIRST released to Russian media online around November 2014….they were ALSO released on the dark web and picked up by an activist who then released them on the normal web and testified to same in order to clear Sabine of the charges of release …..she is 72 or 73 and likely to go to prison for this bloody misinformation!!
Your stance sometimes Yolande smacks of racism even to me …I am FAR from a social justice warrior and mourn the loss of national identity in England but
ABSOLUTELY recognise that the children of foreign nationals are targeted by the UK government child trafficking network .
I Still implore you to quit consulting psychics and research your beloved Duke of Kent with regard to international elite paedophilia and blackmail
Kind regards
Wait, what? Now Angela thinks that "Hampstead was to a great degree an inside Russian mafia job"?
That's a new one on us. Granted, it does seem likely these days that Pizzagate was to some extent manipulated by the Russians in an effort to interfere with the U.S. election which was happening then; but to say that Angie's latest hypothesis is ludicrous would be a serious understatement. (See also her utterly false claims that the hoax was started by Ella, and that Ella was involved in creating child sex abuse videos.)
And to reiterate, although we have seen no evidence to confirm the story that "someone else released the videos first", it matters not whether Sabine was first to put them online or one hundred and first. She did it, and she knew full well that she was in violation of the law when she did it. And that's as far as we are willing to go, given that Sabine is currently facing criminal charges about her activities.
A day after receiving Angela's email, Yolande responded:
From: Yolande Lindridge <YolandeLindridge@xxxxxxxx>
To: angela power <angelapowerba@xxxxxxxxx>

Angela Power-Disney
I repeat. LEAVE ME ALONE. I am a witness and you, in my opinion, are deliberately trying to interfere with criminal investigations. I have a hearing about my Brexit challenge on 5.12.2017 in the Royal Courts of Justice, whilst those you side with are that day holding a demonstration outside the Justice Ministry.
What has happened to Clare Douglas and myself yesterday is disgraceful and requires police investigation. Kent Police gave me incident reference 23/1210. [Sorry, no idea—Ed.]
I have been advised that you and Tracey Morris aka cronies of the Association of McKenzie Friends, are trying to support Eugene Lukjaneko legally and otherwise, we are on opposing sides as I am a witness and a victim. There is another court hearing listed next month. Moreover whilst Eugene Lukjanenko was appearing in the Canterbury Combined Courts yesterday morning, Bridgend BC were in the Cardiff Combined Courts getting a hearing there next Friday morning for the same charges that Eugene faced with his main follower re roof-top protests. Again I am a victim of this woman and a potential court witness.
All my communications have been hacked for years. Facebook still does nothing to deal with serious hate crime and threats, which was stooping in Kent to its normal very low levels last night with a comment 'Dead hahahaha' above a hacked private photo of 3 young children in Clare Douglas' immediate family. Hackers will therefore have copies of emails re the German Sabine McNeill, including her telling me that she copied in a blogger to one of her emails who then put videos of the 2 Hampstead kids on the internet. I am NOT responsible for the decisions that the Association of McKenzie Friends and their sponsors make.
For 3 years, the Association of McKenzie Friends/their cronies have been trying to get me associated with the Russian Hampstead hoax. Via the Association of McKenzie Friends I got duped re Eugene Lukjanenko, RT et al.
Every single one of the Association of McKenzie Friends/their cronies hada bad attitude to me over my Brexit challenge and its intended outcome of reforming UK child protection laws and protecting the NHS from collapse by Maidstone's Tories & LibDems – indeed Belinda McKenzie was actively working in tandem with Maidstone Tory & LibDem politicians to get me silenced/stopped/sectioned/socially isolated and not because I am mentally ill, but as a way of controlling and bringing an end to my Brexit challenge.
I have nothing but respect for the Duke of Kent, that is why I have been helping to bring down those who undermine him via their competing international network of masons run from Maidstone in Kent.
I have NEVER been part of the Association of McKenzie Friends, Sabine McNeill sub-contracted her children's cases to me as no one in the Association of McKenzie Friends had the skills to do this work.

And there you have it, folks.
Will Angela ignore Yolande's demand to leave her alone?
Will we hear more from Belinda and Charlotte?
What has the Duke of Kent to do with any of this?
We'll be keeping a close watch on the situation, and will be reporting updates as they come in. So stay tuned for the next episode of…Trooferdale.

The Barclays LIBOR Fallout in Quotes
1. Should Have, Could Have
I can't sit here and say no one in the industry didn't know about the problems with Libor... There was an issue out there and it should have been dealt with more broadly.
— Former Barclay's chief executive Robert E. Diamond Jr. told Parliamentary committee on Wednesday, saying that regulators intentionally turned a blind eye to the manipulation of the London interbank loan rate. The bank had previously raised concerns, he said, with American and British banking regulators about inconsistencies in the way the Libor was set. Barclay's submitted documents from those regulators to Parliament that indicate that the bank was not told to stop manipulating the rate. Diamond also implicated the Bank of England and several leading British politicians in his testimony before the committee.

Eastland repeats as sectional champs
HANOVER — Skylar Paulson knew the best way to attack Indian Creek center Garrison Govig wasn't to go straight at him.
It was to drive past him off the dribble.
The Eastland forward scored 14 points and grabbed 12 rebounds Friday to help the Cougars capture a second straight sectional championship over the Timberwolves, 51-42.
"I knew if he was going to guard me," Paulson said. "I was going to try and take him out of the paint so I could take him to the basket.
"In the first quarter, he guarded me and I had like three-straight layups and a jump shot. … My foot speed was just a little bit better than his."
Eastland (26-4) jumped out to a 13-4 run in the first quarter, with Paulson going 5-for-5 from the field with 10 points.
"We knew Paulson was one of their better scorers," Indian Creek coach Joe Piekarz said. "We tried to figure on, matchup-wise, who we'd put on him and figured we'd put Garrison on him and have good help-side rotation if he gets by him.
"Unfortunately, we were slow on our help-side rotations and killed us in the beginning."
The Timberwolves (22-9) never truly recovered from that surge and trailed 32-17 at halftime. But Indian Creek came awfully close to making a complete comeback.
The Cougars allowed transition buckets for both layups and three-pointers, which helped Indian Creek go on a 16-4 run in the third quarter. Eastland's lead dissipated to just 36-33 going into the fourth.
"In transition, if we'd lose someone, they'd hit a three," Cougars guard Dalton Shaner said. "We'd worry about the three and they'd hit a layup. If we worried about the layup, they'd hit a three again.
Shaner, who finished with a game-high 25 points, struggled in the third quarter scoring just two points.
"That's probably best team defense we've played all year," Shaner said. " … Offensively for me, that's the hardest I've ever had to work just getting a step.
"I was trying get some space just to not get a five-second call."
Eastland's offense eventually settled down in the fourth after Shaner hit a 3 to begin the final quarter. Indian Creek cut the Cougars' lead down to five points with a 3:20 left in the game before a Blake Janssen jumper and Paulson layup put the game out of reach for the Timberwolves.
The Cougars didn't allow a double-digit scorer for Indian Creek, with David Boehne scoring a team-high nine points off the bench. Govig was held to just seven points and six rebounds.
Eastland clinched its fourth sectional championship in boys basketball program history and repeated as sectional champions this season.
"Our first goal was to win regionals back to back because that's never happened in Eastland history either," Paulson said. "So to win regionals and sectionals back to back is huge and a great accomplishment."

Drew Peterson begins 38-year sentence for murder
- Peterson had faced up to 60 years in prison
- He will get credit for four years time already served
- Savio%27s death had been ruled an accident but was re-examined after his fourth wife vanished in 2007
CHICAGO (AP) — Less than 24 hours after screaming out his innocence in court, Drew Peterson was transferred to an Illinois prison to begin serving his 38-year sentence for the murder of this third wife.
The former suburban Chicago police officer, whose case attracted widespread media attention and inspired a TV movie, entered the maximum-security Stateville prison outside Joliet early Friday. Prison officials said he was later transferred to another prison.
A judge sentenced him Thursday for the 2004 drowning death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio. He's also a suspect in the disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson. Savio's death was originally ruled an accident, but it was re-examined after Stacey Peterson vanished in 2007 and eventually ruled a homicide.
Peterson, 59, had faced up to 60 years in prison. He will get four years' credit for time he already served in jail.
"I had prepared him for 60," one of his attorneys, Joe Lopez, said Friday. "He felt good ... He thought he might get more."
Peterson will likely remain at a maximum-security facility because he was convicted of first-degree murder, but his fame and status as a former police officer, which could make him a target of fellow inmates, may factor into a decision about where he is housed, Department of Corrections spokeswoman Stacey Solano said Friday.
She later confirmed that after arriving at Stateville, which is also a processing center for new inmates, Peterson was taken about 60 miles southwest to the prison in Pontiac. No details were provided.
Appearing calm as he sat to address the judge at Thursday's sentencing, the usually calm Peterson suddenly exploded. Looking at Savio's family, he leaned into a microphone and shouted, "I did not kill Kathleen!" He then made a 30-minute statement, during which he cried, shook uncontrollably and stopped several times to regain his composure.
At one point, he challenged the lead prosecutor, Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow, to look him in the eyes. Glasgow laid down his pen, folded his arms and looked straight back at Peterson.
"Never forget what you've done here," Peterson, his eye narrowing, told him. Glasgow later told reporters that Peterson's scream gave everyone in court a glimpse at the "psychopath" who killed Savio.
On Friday, Lopez said his client still believed he had been railroaded by Will County prosecutors.
"He is looking forward to getting out of Will County," Lopez said.

About six weeks ago, I put my name on a library waiting list for The Lost Symbol. It's a large suburban library that often buys multiple copies of big books – a half dozen or more of New York Times bestsellers — and might buy ten of this one. So if fewer than ten people are ahead of me on the list, I could have the book today. If a hundred people are ahead of me and each keeps it for two weeks, I might not have it for months.
Anybody want to guess whether I will get The Lost Symbol a) this week, b) next week, or c) when the Cubs win the World Series?
I will report back when my copy arrives.

Thursday Morning Political Mix
SAUL LOEB/AFP/Getty Images
Good morning, fellow political junkies.Today finds the Senate in continued debate aimed at reaching a legislative agreement that keeps the federal government open into the new fiscal year which starts Oct. 1.
Meanwhile, there seems to be a growing mood among congressional Republicans to test President Obama's resolve to not negotiate over raising the debt ceiling in a few weeks.
Here are some politically-connected items or themes that caught my eye this morning.
- Trying to buy more time before a federal government shutdown that could happen October 1 without a budget deal, some lawmakers are raising the prospect of a one-week spending bill, writes The Hill's Alexander Bolton. One downside is it would force the crisis over how to keep the government open one week closer to the crisis over raising the debt ceiling which the Obama administration now says must be accomplished by mid-October.
- Republicans are coalescing around an idea to shift the Obamacare fight to the debt-ceiling debate, while Democrats, for their part, are united in their position that Republican attempts to link conditions to raising the same debt ceiling are a non-starter, report Manu Raju, Jake Sherman and Ginger Gibson of Politico.
- Sen. Ted Cruz may have won over many grassroots conservatives with his 21-hour anti-Obamacare Senate talkathon, but many of his Republican colleagues view him as selfish, divisive and counterproductive, and that's only for starters, writes Jeremy Peters in the New York Times. Meanwhile, Los Angeles Times' cartoonist columnist David Horsey has a fairly withering Cruz commentary.
- Former president George H.W. Bush served as the official witness at the wedding of two long-time friends in Maine where same-sex marriage was legalized in December, as my NPR colleague Mark Memmott reports.
- Lawmakers are seeking to extend a visa program for Iraqi interpreters, perhaps adding it to the continuing resolution to keep the government operating into the new fiscal year, reports The Hill's Jeremy Herb. That brought to mind a recent story by NPR's Quil Lawrence on the plight of the Afghan translator whose U.S. visa was delayed despite the best efforts of a U.S. soldier who owes him his life.
- Alan Simpson, the wise-cracking former Republican senator from Wyoming, is known for speaking his mind. Lynne Cheney, wife of former Vice President Dick Cheney, apparently isn't a fan. Simpson says she told him to "shut up" at a Cody social event, reports Laura Hancock of Wyoming's Star Tribune.
- Staying on the wild-west theme, the Center for Public Integrity's Michael Beckel provides a good reminder that not all is as it seems in the sometimes untamed frontier of online political fundraising. His "Hucksters for Hillary" report shows how easy it is for someone to misuse a famous politician's name to try to raise money from the public without any apparent link to the politician's campaign.
- So that happened. Comedian Dan Nainan allegedly punched journalist Josh Rogin in the face, twice, in an apparent response to Rogin's tweeted negative review of Nainan's stand-up routine at a Washington D.C. charity event. Rogin tweeted about the alleged attack in real (presumably painful) time and Huffpo threw together a short post.

What do you get when you combine the flexibility, versatility and ease of maintenance of Ubuntu, the blinding speed and simplicity of LXDE, and a focus on social media and the cloud?
You get Peppermint OS, that's what! Brought to you by the same developer responsible for Linux Mint 8 LXDE Community Edition, and for resurrecting Linux Mint Fluxbox CE as well, Peppermint OS is a lightweight, fast, stable implementation of what Kendall Weaver's vision of the perfect Linux distro might be for speed and the web.
And I think he's onto something.
Overview: The liveCD, the installer, and what you get
Being based on Ubuntu, Peppermint brings some familiar concepts along with it to the table, namely the fact that you start with a fully operational liveCD that brings you to a default desktop from which you can give it a spin. Aesthetically speaking, the default desktop is clean, slick, and (in my opinion) pleasing to the eye (click the thumbnail below for the full sized version):
The installer is also familiar to those who have worked with Ubuntu in the past, and suffice to say that there isn't anything shocking or surprising there.
I utilized my favorite platform for reviewing new Linux distros, my trusty and aging Toshiba Satellite A75 (Pentium IV 3.06 GHz hyperthreading CPU and 1.25 GB of RAM). Wireless worked fine right off the bat, as I've come to expect from any of the Ubuntu-based distros I've tried over the past year or so, so there were no issues there.
The installer took about 20 minutes or so to complete, and once it was done and rebooted, I was able to see what I had on my hands.
Peppermint is, as I had mentioned, focused on social media and the cloud, so most of the applications aren't local apps at all, but webapps. As a result, there is no default mail client, no default installed office suite, no image editing software… as a matter of fact there really aren't very many local applications installed at all.
What Peppermint does come with is an array of cleverly implemented webapps utilizing the Mozilla Prism application to make those webapps seem a bit more like local ones, even though they're not.
As such, for mail, there's a Google Mail launcher under the "Office" submenu (which I found to be a bit of slightly odd categorization), which launches a no-frills separate browser window with no controls that navigates to a GMail login page.
Likewise, there is a Google Docs launcher, and a Google Calendar launcher, and Google Reader (for RSS feeds), and all of these live in their own, separate windows, just like they would if they were local applications.
Along the same lines, for those of you who use Twitter and Facebook, there are launchers under the "Internet" submenu for Seesmic (a web-based Twitter client) and Facebook, which, like the various Google webapps I already mentioned, are both launched in stripped down Prism windows to make them look and act like local applications.
There is also Aviary Phoenix image editor, an image editing webapp, as well as Aviary audio editor (called "Myna"), and a couple of handy music stream site launchers for Last.fm and Pandora, along with something I thought rather novel called The Cloud Player.
While it might sound like there really isn't anything installed at all when it comes to applications (since all of the ones I just listed are in fact simply webapps that live in a trimmed down browser window), there are some real apps included on a Peppermint installation.
Peppermint is built around LXDE, so it comes with PCManFM for a native file manager. Also included is Galculator (a lightweight, basic calculator program), the Leafpad text editor, a basic screenshot app, the ever-present Firefox browser (of course), Xfburn for CD burning, Transmission for torrenting, and a number of other basic applications. One app that stood out as a bit of an unusual inclusion was the now discontinued music player known as Songbird. More on that later.
So while many of Peppermint's bundled applications are webapps (as one should expect in a cloud-centric distro like this is intended), it does come with an array of other useful tools and applications, and with only a couple of exceptions, these were chosen with speed and minimal resource intensiveness in mind.
Peppermint OS uses the NetworkManager Applet for network connectivity (including wireless), and mintUpdate as its update manager, both of which seem to work perfectly on my laptop. Xscreensaver is also included by default, though only a couple of the usual screensavers ("Fuzzy flakes" and "Fiber lamp") are installed out of the box. I like variety in my screensavers, so I manually installed the rest via
apt-get, but I am sure these were left out due to space considerations. Peppermint also comes with the Peppermint OS Software Manager, which is an easy way to add any of the very numerous applications out there that work on Ubuntu-based distros.

I'm afraid I must agree with you regarding PCManFM2.
I've been using LXDE for about a year and I really like it's speed and small memory footprint. But PCManFM has been the weakest link. Searching for files is horrible. I was hoping that would be fixed. Now that function was been removed also.
PCManFM was re-wriiten from 'scratch' supposedly. But it seems to be going backwards. In the spirit of 'netiquette',
I won't say what I really feel. Other than that, LXDE rocks and is a great choice for peppermint.

've been immersed on few LXDE based linux distros and i'm really impressed on it's performance. i'm writing this using SliTaz and i'm testing lubuntu on the newer machines. i'm also fond with pclos_lxde_2010 because of compiz-fuzion and tvtime. there's not perfect LXDE based distro for me yet anyway 🙂 i think there are reasons not to stick to one distro but rather appreciate each for the specific task or purpose they're intended to. well, i'm waiting for PeppermintOS and give it a try. nice review 🙂

For me, Peppermint OS has a special role as THE PERFECT LIVE CD!
A live CD is a temporary system, so a simple desktop that requires little setup and emphasizes webapps is ideal. Webapps tend to store data online so it can be referenced by other online systems, either temporary or permanent. If I boot Peppermint OS on my brother's Windows computer, I'll be able to create documents that I'll be able to retrieve at home… or anywhere else on the web that I boot the live CD, or even, God forbid, if I'm forced to use a Windows computer.
Of course, it's based on Debian, and that means the simple, friendly desktop can be made to do just about anything that Debian can do.. I like to install emacs and chromium-browser, like so
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install emacs chromium-browser
Depending on which machine I'm using, I have either 1 or two gigabytes of RAM, plenty of room to install these applications to the ramdisk.
Because peppermint is based on mint, it has all the codecs I need in place. Again, this is especially valuble in a live CD. You don't want to have to download a bunch of codecs every time you use the disk. Unlike Debian and Ubuntu, it has mplayer installed by default. I like to use mplayer from the command line, from which it excels. The GUI versions generally seem a little dicey. As alkways, it's easy with a little practice. As always, the manpage is the fiirst place to look for information.
I also think that, as a live CD, Peppermint OS is a great introduction to Linux for the li-curious. It's an incredibly easy desktop that opens webapps that most windows users will find familiar. It just couldn't be more painless.

I've just installed the "second respin" of PeppermintOS and wouldn't have noticed the lack of a tree-view in PCManFM 0.9.5 until I read your review.
This isn't such a big issue for me, though. What is important is what you pointed out. This distro is fast and stable and it's perfect for my netbook. What more can I ask for?
I'd just like to point out that songbird for linux isn't dead– Builds are still made, they just aren't officially supported by the songbird development team.
Our group here at Sandia Labs reviewed Peppermint OS and was pleased with the operating system. Although the customer support on their IRC channel was rude and disrespectful to their guests. Also Kendall did not seem to entertain the idea of making more money or being funded for working with us on the cloud products. He was more worried about going for a drink at the local tavern. Good OS but not very delightful work ethic and customer service. Thats why linux doesn't make it in this world. To many hacker want to bees and not enough real world business experience. Xubuntu has a flavor that is made with more quality and a much more stable environment. They also have better customer service and reliable upgrades.
Anecdotal comments about IRC conversations? You have a pastebin link? Group #99201 said "Thats why linux doesn't make it in this world." In an open source world with 100s of 100s of distros how could one possibly blame the few that are less than formal on your perception of a failure that is debatable in of itself? Also Linux isn't a corporation competing for market share, its an OS kernel. Some distros may be using the kernel to compete in the market, that's their choice. Linux is about choice. Sorry you had an apparently bad experience if that indeed did occur. Cheers.
I have the latest Peppermint One installed on my netbook. I think it will be staying there for a very long time. This is a superb distro.
I'm running peppermint on my Tecra 8000 128mb 300mhz laptop and it is working like a charm. Haven't figured out working the sound yet.

You can find spreadsheet entry jobs by looking on the Internet, or by registering with recruitment and staffing agencies. This requires you to create a compelling profile, and they may require you to prove your skills and typing speed. The other place you can find work is in freelancing websites, where you register and look for employers interested in your skills. Looking for jobs in freelancing websites can be very challenging because the job requires fewer skills, hence it attracts more workers than other skilled jobs. To win this battle, you can combine your skills with other freelancers who have relevant and related skills to win more jobs.
Spreadsheet entry jobs fall under the data entry category, and they are most sought after jobs for people who want to keep themselves busy while they wait for a preferred job. The reason these jobs are popular is because they require basic computer skills; and if you need to do the job from home, all you need is a computer, Internet connection and a good typing speed.

Walker up for enshrinement for second time
Expos, Rockies, Cards standout among top outfielders of his era
Not many Major Leaguers can claim status as a national baseball icon, a cornerstone for two franchises and a key veteran presence for a third, but Larry Walker has all that on his resume and more.
While he finished his career without a World Series ring, Walker established himself early on as one of the premier two-way right fielders in the game, a corner man's corner man with the defensive and offensive tools to be a gamechanger against any opponent.
As he makes his second appearance on the National Baseball Hall of Fame ballot, with members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America considering his candidacy leading up to a Jan. 9 announcement of this year's voting results, Walker stands as one of the most decorated players of his era.
He made a solid first-year showing on the ballot in 2011, garnering 20.3 percent of the vote -- second only to Jeff Bagwell (41.7 percent) as the top vote-getter among players on the ballot for the first time.
A candidate must receive 75 percent of the vote from Baseball Writers' Association of America members to gain election to the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Second baseman Roberto Alomar (90 percent) and pitcher Bert Blyleven (79.7 percent) earned their ticket to Cooperstown on the 2011 ballot. Former Reds shortstop Barry Larkin (62.1 percent) and starting pitcher Jack Morris (53.5 percent) are the top returning vote-getters from last year's ballot. Results of the 2012 election will be announced on Monday, Jan. 9.
First as a native of Canada breaking in with the Expos, then as a Most Valuable Player with the Rockies and finally with a Cardinals team that got him to his one World Series appearance, Walker provided teams with big numbers and a high level of professionalism, year in and year out.
Not only that, but his love of the game and calm intensity between the lines was infectious.
"Going out there with a group of guys and challenging nine other guys to a baseball game, there's nothing better than that," Walker said upon playing his last game in 2005.
In winning National League MVP honors in 1997, Walker's offensive performance was off the charts. The man with the powerful left-handed stroke batted .366, second in the Majors to Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn's .372, while leading the league with 49 homers and racking up 130 RBIs, a 1.172 OPS and 409 total bases.
He also won one of his seven Gold Gloves that year, and made one of his five All-Star Game appearances, finishing seven points from adding to his three NL batting titles. Walker finished his 17-year career with 383 homers, 1,311 RBIs and a batting average of .313.
Whether that all is enough to get him into Cooperstown remains to be seen, but it's certainly quite the haul for the product of Maple Ridge, British Columbia.
Before Justin Morneau and Joey Votto, there was Larry Walker -- the original star position player from Canada. He grew up a hockey goaltender, playing alongside future National Hockey League star Cam Neely, and was on the Canadian national junior baseball team when the Expos signed him as a free agent in 1984. Within five years, he was up in the Majors and part of the latest wave of Montreal's young talent -- a wave that would crest at an unfortunate time.
After a strong rookie season in 1990 and a fifth-place finish in the NL MVP voting in a breakout '92 season, Walker was among the super-talented crew of Expos turning it on deep into the summer of '94. When the season was cut short by a work stoppage, the Expos finished the year with a Majors-best 74-40 record. The club missed out on what looked like a golden opportunity to reach the World Series.
Once the work stoppage was over in 1995, Walker was shipped to the Rockies as the Expos divested their star players. He made himself right at home in Colorado, establishing a core of power hitters known as the Blake Street Bombers -- Walker, Andres Galarraga, Dante Bichette and Vinny Castilla. They made Coors Field, located on Blake Street, into an offensive fireworks show for several years and helped claim the club's first NL Wild Card berth in '95.
Walker is second only to career-long Rockies first baseman Todd Helton in virtually every statistical category in team history. Along the way, he established himself as not only an offensive threat, but one of the top right fielders of his era, using a rocket arm, just enough closing speed and some guile.
Walker parted ways with the Rockies in 2004 on a waiver deal that sent three Minor Leaguers to Colorado and a franchise icon to St. Louis. It wasn't long before the swap paid off for Walker with his lone World Series appearance -- and he went 4-for-5 with a double and a homer in his Fall Classic debut.
"This is why I accepted the trade," Walker said as the 2004 World Series began. "You want to go somewhere that you think has a chance to play late into October."
Walker and the Cardinals succumbed to the Red Sox and 86 years of history in a four-game sweep, but clearly, he'd made his mark on the postseason.
He managed to play only 100 games in 2005, his final regular season, due to a painful neck ailment he battled through as much as he could. By the end of the NL Championship Series that year, Walker was through at age 38, having left a lasting impression on the game.
"Most people know the kind of player that he has been his whole career. I mean, just a gifted, all-around everything," former Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said at the time. "In fact, I think he probably would be in the top three of just about every category: baserunning, defense, handling the bat.
"What we came to learn about him, he's really an outstanding personality. I mean, guys like to spend time with him. ... We didn't know it until he was a teammate, [but] this guy is a great teammate who is a lot of fun to be around and helped keep those positive vibes that we've had ever since he's been here."

Ask Marilyn: More on Loyalty Cards
Anonymous in Baltimore, Maryland, writes:
Marilyn: Thank you for answering my question about loyalty cards. (December 26, 2012) You said that I'm not being reasonable in refusing to use them if, in fact, I don't need to give the stores my name, address, and phone number to get their loyalty cards. I agree, but nearly all stores in my area that offer loyalty cards do require customers' names, addresses, and phone numbers. I've looked at the application forms, so I know! Another reason I don't want loyalty cards is that I don't want to have a wallet full of loyalty cards. I'll just stick to stores that don't have these cards at all. There are plenty of good bargains at these stores, and generally they seem to have lower prices overall than stores with loyalty cards.
Marilyn responds:
This makes sense to me. But I want to make sure that you don't pass up stores that offer loyalty cards at the checkout counter (or the self-checkout). In many of those cases, the cards are accompanied by a form that asks for a name and address, etc., but you don't need to fill it out. Just take the card and use it. (That's what the store wants most, anyway.)
That said, I admit to disliking stores with loyalty cards, anyway!

Cannabis Seeds
SeedSupreme has long been one of the best sources for a large variety of top-shelf, top quality cannabis seeds. Below is a selection of thousands of marijuana seed strains, both common and rare including pure sativa seeds, Indica and a plethora of crossbreeded hybrid seeds. Search and you will find the feminized, regular and autoflowering seeds from around the planet, handpicked for you from the world's most reliable seedbanks. We sell high quality pot seeds to ensure that strain diversity is preserved for a time when germination is legal.
Marijuana Seeds
New to cannabis cultivation? Overwhelmed by the sheer variety of cannabis seeds available? If so, you're certainly not in the minority. In fact, even those who've been growing cannabis (legally, of course!) at a professional level for years often find themselves perplexed by the mountains of marijuana seeds available for purchase. Things have come a long way over recent years and it's no longer simply a case of choosing between Northern Lights seeds and award-winning Skunk seeds. Just as long as it's legal to do so in your jurisdiction, it's now possible to grow just about any strain of cannabis on the face of the earth at home and you can find awesome modern hybrids such as Gorilla Glue seeds. But when it comes to choosing the best possible products to suit your needs, where do you start?
Price of Cannabis Seeds
Well, you might want to take price into the equation as one of several deciding factors. Contrary to popular belief, you don't have to spend a fortune on cannabis seeds to produce incredible bud. What's more, excessive prices don't necessarily guarantee superior results. But at the same time, if you choose to buy the cheapest, bargain-basement seeds that are being practically given away, you can't expect a whole lot in return. Hence, the importance of finding the marijuana strain to suit your needs and your budget.
If starting out with home cannabis cultivation for the first time, it's advisable to keep things relatively affordable. After all, losing an entire crop that cost you $15 per seed is way more painful than failing with a bag of 10 weed seeds for $20. As you progress, feel free to step things up in terms of price and experiment with more prestigious pot varieties. Just be sure to avoid unnecessarily overspending or making a choice just because those pot seeds are cheap.
Indica or Sativa?
Of course, even if you're looking for an Indica dominant hybrid: what matters most to the typical home-grower, is the effect their resulting product has. You don't need us to tell you the genetics of the strain you choose will have a marked impact on the high you can expect. Whether you prefer the deep body relaxation of Indica strains or energizing Sativa or somewhere in the middle with a hybrid strain is entirely up to you. One thing it's definitely worth bearing in mind is how Indica and Sativa seeds are entirely different animals to grow.
As a general rule of thumb, Indica cannabis seeds are easier to succeed with as they have a much shorter flowering time. Sativas aren't in nearly the same rush to reach fruition, which basically means there's more time to get things wrong. Or if you simply don't have the patience to wait, Indica could be the way to go. Likewise, Indica strains tend to be less sensitive and more forgiving than their Sativa marijuana seed siblings. This varies significantly from one strain to the next – particularly in the case of hybrids – but is nonetheless worth bearing in mind. You could always try mixing things up with a 50/50 split, just to see which strains suit you best.
Feminized or Regular Pot Seeds?
The primary benefit of purchasing feminized marijuana seeds is that they help keep potential problems to an absolute minimum. When you buy feminized seeds, you know that every plant produced will be female unlike when you buy regular seeds. Meaning almost zero risk of noticing a male plant somewhere in your crop down the line, by which time it's gone and ruined the whole thing.
What's more, feminized seeds create female plants of value. Meaning that if you buy and germinate 15 feminized marijuana seeds, you often end up with 15 female plants and no wasted seeds/money. This is precisely why thousands of expert and novice growers alike stick to feminized seeds like glue. A great option when looking to minimize potential problems and maximize pot production.
Autoflower Cannabis Seeds
Autoflower marijuana seeds joined the market relatively recently but have already become a firm favorite among growers at all levels worldwide. Most autoflowering weed seeds are feminized and Indica-heavy – not to mention surprisingly cheap. They're also just about the most forgiving pot seeds money can buy, can be used to grow cannabis anywhere you're legally allowed to do so, and produce seriously rapid results.
The upside is that Autoflower pot seeds need no controlled lighting cycles to get the job done. The downside is that they typically produce considerably smaller plants with modest overall yields. Still, a fantastic option for newcomers and those with limited available space alike.
Indoor or Outdoor?
If lucky enough to live in a region where growing your own is legal, why not consider a quality outdoor strain? Depending on the climate and weather conditions in general, growing outdoors can be uniquely easy and hugely rewarding. Nature taking care of what's needed has the potential for far larger plants and bigger yields than would ever be possible indoors.
However, if you cannot guarantee very specific and consistent weather conditions, indoor cannabis seeds are the way to go. It may represent a greater investment of time, money and effort, but it at least gives you total control over the growing environment. Plus, it may otherwise be impossible to replicate the natural cultivation conditions of the Middle East, Africa, or the tropics!
Contrary to popular belief, seeds with high THC levels aren't necessarily more difficult to grow than lower THC ones. Get the right cannabis seeds, provide your plants with everything they need and you'll be rewarded in kind. However, it's worth considering exactly what kind of potency you prefer and require.
If you prefer bud with a THC content of around 15%, there's no point investing heavily in a 25% strain. Likewise, if you're more about the therapeutic effects of CBD, than getting high, you'll need to consider the various medical cannabis seeds available.
Skill Level
Last up, all cannabis strains are not equal when it comes to the skills you'll need. While some strains pretty much take care of themselves, others need non-stop TLC from start to finish. What's more, some of those in the latter bracket aren't nearly as rewarding as their less-demanding counterparts. So when choosing the very best cannabis seeds for you personally, always be brutally honest with your capabilities and skill level.
If you're an amateur, accept you're an amateur and go easy on yourself. If ready for a challenge, try your hand with something a little trickier. In the Seedsupreme catalog, you'll find a huge selection of cannabis seeds for beginners that don't require many skills and attention. You don't need to worry about pests and diseases and can control the environment yourself with minimal efforts to mimic nature. Just don't go wasting your time and money on rare cannabis seeds that are completely out of your league for the time being!

Hmmm, you've got a point there. Well, let's take him with us.
We'll just push him in this office chair. It's got wheels.
We won't actually take him in the store with us. We'll just leave him sitting out on the street. No problem.
dawn, www.worldvisitormap.com might help you organize all your readers cities. i've seen it on myspace. looks neat!
Can you roll me to the beach instead of the check-cashing store?
I heard about this on the radio this morning-- Weekends at Bernie came to mind immediately, too! I imagine there were a ton of people who didn't even blink at the sight of the office-chair-corpse...
Absolutely, freaking amazing...makes you wonder what they were smoking when they thought up that little escapade!! BTW, I LOVE your blog...and faithfully, no, make that OBSESSIVELY read...because your house sounds so much like mine...right down to 6 kids, homework, holes in walls...everything!
LOL! I seriously can't believe that!
Quite interesting to think that they thought they'd get away with it... .still, I wonder if their first thought was they needed the guy's check to help make the rent.
Just really surprised that they thought wheeling him down the street was a good idea.
ummmmmmmmm.......wouldn't it have been easier to forge his signature and endorse the back of the cheque so they could cash it themselves without dragging a corpse down the street?
(not that I have thought this scenario out or anything...lol)
Ok that is pretty freaking hysterical. It would be really interesting to see if any of the local TV stations around there had aired Weekend At Bernies around that time. You have to wonder where they got the inspiration to do that from.
LOVE your blog...makes my life look like a piece of cake!!!
My father in law just told us a story how his brother cashed a check of their moms just recently at a pizza place... the cashier took the check with no problem, didn't even question why a 50-year-old looking guy with a beard would be named Beatrice!!!
PS--confirmed by some neighbors tonight--the restaurant of choice for Monday's "liason" is a good one! : ) Can you tell I'm trying to be all suspenseful here????
raflmao Im sorry but only in America could someone push a corpse down a street and no-one question it????
Yeah I saw that and thought - only in NY, only in NY. But then again - you could get away with that insane behavior in Chicago or Miami as well!
Be sure to take photos of the MAIL - that is going to be so neat to see the map! Great idea! Great, great, great!
OK, duh. I'm an idiot. The right word is not "liason"... I was already upstairs brushing my teeth and washing my face, and I'm like, "That does not mean what I meant it to mean!" so I had to come back downstairs to let you know I'm not the idiot I sound like!
Or maybe I am. Wine was involved tonight.
Ahhh, New York! With it's amazing architecture, shopping and... dead bodies?! Creepy.
Oh dear before I even got to your sentence I'm thinking "Weekend at Bernie's", these guys had obviously seen that movie one too many times........bizarre and.....ick!
Yes photos we need photos of the truckloads of mail you'll be getting , this could make (Inter)national News then I can say...."I know this woman!!! " , lol btw loved seeing your little number ticker over 2 million and heading for 3
I didn't realize anyone received actual social security checks these days; I wasn't given that option. Mine is direct-deposited on the second Wednesday of each month.
Hi Dawn, Was this guy working in an office when he died? I am guessing that's the case. If they could have cashed the check were they going to roll him back to his desk or maybe prop him up at a bar for a celebration drink? I can hear them now...He's just had one to many! LOL Kristine in Michigan.
When I hear those stories I always think "At least I am not married to that guy."
Do you think sometimes people do these things and 'play dumb'just for their 15 minutes of fame?
Thanks for the laugh!
morning..that is some crazy stuff..quick question..i live in illinois..probably not that far from u..can i still send something just curious thanks!
Morning Dawn:)) and let me just say LOL about the guys trying to cash the social security check. People never cease to amaze me. I will get a letter and/or postcard in the mail to you this week. I'm going to go buy our local chamber of commerce and see if they have any postcards with a picture of our historical town square on them. That would be neat to send you.
Try and stay warm, it was near 80 this week here in Lancaster, Texas:))
Very bizarre, however, my hubby had a good point. He said that they must've felt they really needed his check to make rent or buy groceries or pay the heat bill. It's very expensive to live in NY, that's why the 3 of them were sharing an apt., so they must've needed all 3 to contribute. He also said that now they don't have to worry because they're in a warm place where they'll get 3 meals a day, and that it's actually costing the tax payers more now than it would've to cash the $355 check. Only in America.
Have you ever seen the movie "Waking Ned Devine"? It is set in Ireland and this guy, Ned, dies immediately after winning the lottery. So his two buddies, like 60/70 years old get into all sorts of shenanigans in order to get his lotto money.
That one is absolutely amazing to me. This one is just silly. http://youtube.com/watch?v=XM14XuyRLg8
A kid tries to break into a Tacoma, WA coffee shop. He only succeeds in dislocating his knee (and once this became a local youtube sensation he turned himself in). Possibly the funnies part about the whole thing is the coffee shop owner's narration of the whole episode!!
It is nuts that someone would try to do that, weird things people will try.
But there is still a little place in the back of my mind thinking - these are probably two guys trying to live off social security. It's quite possible they were driven to this sort of a desperate act just trying to survive. There's a sadness about the whole story too.
Next the two guys is going to blame the movie "Weekend at Bernie's", for there actions.
Thet watched it and the movie made them do it.
Hmmmmm...perhaps the unfortunate check man wasn't really dead...he was merely "pining for the fjords" or to (mis)quote one of your favorite movies:
Miracle Max:
See, there's a big difference between mostly dead, and all dead. Now, mostly dead: he's slightly alive. All dead, well, with all dead, there's usually only one thing that you can do.
What's that?
Miracle Max:
Go through his clothes and look for loose change...or, in this case, SS checks to cash!
With "jewels" like this hitting the media, I can only imagine the plight of striking comedy writers...about to EXPLODE from a creative expression blockage!
Nancy Binky
Ummm, and why are you opening all the mail and putting all the marks on the map instead of your son? I thought this was his project. Yes, I know you want to read it all too. At least have him read it first and mark the map.
Then you can pick through the mail at your leisure (which I know you have tons of) and won't have to worry abou the map at all. Why make more work for yourself? :)

Five kids with one on the way.
I'm almost caught up with Dawn! Hurray!
I love reading your blog. You are awesome at what you do and I think it is awesome that you have so many kiddos.
What they didn't think of was to put one of those vibrating chair pads under the cadaver, and turn it up real high, to make it look as if the guy was still alive. THAT would have fooled them. Man, I'm brilliant! I should have been a criminal.
Totally off subject. Dawn, have you seen "The Mom song" on Youtube? It reminds me of you, and your quick wit.
Those guys were dumb, with a capital D! I heard the story earlier this week and all I could think was stupid morons. LOL
Dawn, I discovered another family that needs the power of prayer yesterday, there is a blog about it on my page, if you get a chance to check it out. The prayers you have pulled in for Jullians family have been amazing, so if you can help get the word out I would be forever in your debt.
OK ... so they wheeled this dead guy, in his chair down a street in NY to illegally cash his SS check....
and the point of this story is....?
(... been living in NY WAY too long)
So funny. Sad, but funny
You made me do it... I'm blogging again - thanks for the inspiration!
Dawn this is so typical of the really really despicable people who walk this earth. Scary that from time to time we have to be in the same room with them. It never ceases to amaze me just when you think you've heard it all, there you are....
My best,
Dorothy from grammology
remember to call gram
They aren't only dumb--they are sick! How could anyone ever do that--or even think of it in the first place?

Updata is a Great Partner
Fund: Updata Partners
Posted by cbroderick on 2010-01-07
Updata is a great partner. They truly have operational experience and are willing to take the time to understand the businesses where they invest. They are not passive investors and are willing to assist in matters related to governance, operations, and strategy. John Burton has been a great partner and truly became a member of the extended CoreStreet team. John was instrumental in helping identify a growth strategy for the firm and put in a tremendous number of hours that led to the merger of CoreStreet with ActivIdentity. I highly recommend partnering with Updata.PRIVATE: Members Only
Great Operating Experience in Carter Griffin
Fund: Updata Partners
Posted by Aaron Houghton on 2009-08-10
Updata has been a great financial partner of ours for a few years now. Raising our A round was pretty easy all things considered so I won't act like we were up against a market anything like it is today. We bootstrapped the company to $1M in annual sales before taking a seed round of $500 convertible debt and then 12 months later after it converted we raised an A round. We picked Updata over three other firms that came to the table with term sheets because they brought previous business operators to our deal (and the standard VC number focus as well, but it wasn't their first priority). For over two years now we've worked with Carter (former software company CEO) and Connor (financial/numbers guys) from Updata at quarterly board meetings and about 5-10 additional interactions per year, mostly at our request. They have been a sounding board for some of our executive hires (actually getting on the phone and interviewing our finalists alongside our exec team) and have also taught us a lot about the software-as-a-service model from a business and financial perspective. I know this may be hard to believe but they have never gotten in our way and I've just been blown away to see how different this experience has been than many of the VC nightmares I always hear about. This is my first VC funded company. Maybe we got lucky or maybe this is the sort of experience you can get when you work with a VC firm with a good balance of former entrepreneurs. I probably won't know until I do this again some day with another startup. If you're going to talk to Updata I certainly recommend Carter.PRIVATE: Members Only (481 Characters)

Updata passed on us because we are a bit under their $5M revenue floor, but I found these guys to be knwlegeable, straight up and pleasant. I would recommend them, especially Carter, and I beleive the mostly good reviews here are warranted.
And yes, I will go back to them next year if we need growth capital.PRIVATE: Members Only

I have interacted with and received insight from both Tim Meyers and John Burton over the years. I can honestly say that every interaction has been well worth my time. Their insight and experience in finance and sales is exceptional. We have not raised outside funding from any VCs at this time but found their advice to be worth more than cash and look forward to talking with them further.PRIVATE: Members Only (660 Characters)

We pitched to them after being courted by Carter Griffin. First pitch to Tim Meyers and Carter and while they seemed to have the usual 'vc intelligence challenge' of trying to put us into one of their existing box, they were at least courteous. Also seemed to get it by the end and wanted a follow up meeting with John Burton another partner. But the next meeting...PRIVATE: Members Only (419 Characters)

Updata Has Treated US Well

Posted by ryanallis on 2007-08-27
After an extensive process of speaking to about 40 firms and pitching about 15, iContact chose to work with Updata for our Series A round in June 2007 and closed on about $5 million in funding. We are working with Conor and Carter. I very much appreciate the fact that most of the firm as operating experience, many with experience in the software space. From all impressions so far, Updata is a genuinely excellent firm that works hard to help their portfolio companies succeed. They have provided many introductions and connections that have already proved valuable and shown an authentic interest in helping us. From my vantage, I would recommend working with Updata Partners should you have the opportunity.PRIVATE: Members Only

John Burton is clearly an exceptionally bright and experienced entrepreneur and investor. He was among the best VCs we pitched. Unfortunately, it can be a bit of a bait and switch where other partners seem to run with their investments post funding.
The terms were generally poor and among the worst terms from VCs pitched.PRIVATE: Members Only (271 Characters)

Rachel Johnson also wins for a scene from Shire Hell "that begins with moans and nibbles and works up to screaming and other animal noises"
John Updike has won a special lifetime achievement award from the judges of the 2008 Bad Sex in Fiction Prize, given annually by the U.K. literary magazine the Literary Review. Here's the AP story on the award www.kvoa.com/Global/story.asp?S=9412980&nav=HMO6HMaf. Updike has been nominated four times for the prize, this year for his novel The Widows of Eastwick.
The AP article doesn't say whether the judges singled out any passages in giving Updike the award, which recognizes crude, tasteless and often gratuitous sex scenes in works that otherwise have literary merit. So I'll repeat what I said yesterday in noting that Updike had been nominated: "Let's face it – it's a miracle that he has never won a Bad Sex award, given that this man created the lecherous Harry 'Rabbit' Angstrom, who made a pass at his daughter-in-law on his deathbed."
James Pressley of Bloomberg.com reports that Rachel Johnson, the sister of London mayor Boris Johnson, is also a winner. She received the 2008 Bad Sex in Fiction Prize "for a scene in Shire Hell that begins with moans and nibbles and works up to screaming and other animal noises" www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601088&sid=a_G4Db0hO7Z8&refer=home. Pressley's article is longer and has more information on the other candidates than the AP story.
