'...SCOPERTE Si pensava che fosse sul lato opposto, ora viene rovesciata la mappa del celebre sito archeologico. Lo rivela la prima visita guidata Foro di Traiano, ecco il Tempio dell’ imperatore Scendo dal Quirinale ed eccomi in quel luogo del mistero della Roma imperiale che e’ il fondo del Foro di Traiano, dove si collega al Foro di Augusto. Mi guida Roberto Meneghini, archeologo della Soprintendenza comunale. Lui che e’ sceso nelle cantine delle case sul lato opposto al Foro, dove e’ la Prefettura, e ha scoperto che del tempio dei divi Traiano e Plotina, li’ sotto immaginato, non vi e’ traccia. Cialtrona l’ archeologia classica!'

'... Another recent controversy concerns the location of the Temple of the Divine Trajan in the Forum of Trajan. This is not referenced in the generally good account of the forum by Cavallero. Fortunately, the temple ends up being situated in what we now know to be the correct place (cf. volume 2, tab.54—erroneously cited by Cavallero at volume 1, p.211 as tab. 50), but the key article is not cited: Baldassarri (2013). One suspects that the claim in the Introduction that the work was updated through toDecember 2015 was an exaggeration.'

OK, so here's the long story:
A friend from my church (Kayley -- she wrote the article, above) was doing her MassComm internship at our local paper. Kayley called one night and left a message about doing an interview with me about my juggling.
What? My juggling? How does she even know about that?
It occurred to me that I had posted this photo on Flickr and on my blog when I did the photo for one of my Self Portrait Challenge themes. Maybe she came across one of those. I think, at one point, she had mentioned something else that she had seen on my blog, maybe?
It also occurred to me that this poor girl must be simply desperate for story ideas if she's calling me of all people about juggling.
So Kayley and I communicated about a time to do an interview. I agreed to doing the interview only with the condition that if she spent her time doing the interview and ended up with nothing that added up to a decent article, that there would be no hard feelings either way. She wouldn't be mad at me. I wouldn't be mad at her. She agreed, so we set up a time.
She came over one night after my kids were in bed and she and I and my wife talked for hours, catching up on what she'd been doing, what her plans were for after college. We talked about politics, religion, Seinfeld -- you know, the essentials.
Oh yeah, and somewhere in the midst of all that, she slipped in a few questions about juggling. She didn't make an audio recording of our conversation and, from what I could tell, she made very few notes as we spoke.
I asked her about how this had all come about. Why she called me, etc. As it turned out, she didn't come up with the story idea. She was working from a list of potential features and came across "Jeremy Stockwell -- local juggler." She figured that she would sign up to do that one since she already knew me. To this day, I still don't know how my name ended up on that list.
As an afterthought, as Kayley was getting her things packed up and getting ready to leave, I mentioned that I had a photo that I'd done for Self Portrait Challenge of me juggling and that I'd send it to her in case she could use it.
That was it.
Kayley graduated and got a job in Chicago (with CareerBuilder -- she posted her details up on CareerBuilder.com to get a job, any job. CareerBuilder saw it, contacted her and gave her a job -- sorry for another aside, but I thought it was interesting).
I haven't spoken or communicated with her since that night (I got the CareerBuilder story from her parents, who still go to my church, fyi).
One day at church, a couple of people mentioned that they had seen my picture and an article in Madison Magazine, the publication for which Kayley had written the article.
So, it was printed, but I had yet to see it.
That Wednesday at choir practice, another friend mentioned that he had seen the article. I mentioned that I heard the article had run in the magazine, but that I had yet to see the article myself. He promised to bring me his copy the following Sunday. He came through and brought me his copy.
When I offered to send her my photo, I was imagining that if she used it at all, that it might appear at the bottom of the article, the width of a single column, maybe. I was so surprised how she made use of the photo a prominent part of the article, wrapping the text around the image, etc.
Then I read the article, and was surprised again at how well written it was. I mentioned that she took very few notes, but she had quotes from me and did a good job representing my attitude on the whole story. I was quite impressed. She did a good job forming my rattling on into a cohesive, entertaining article. (I posted this photo as full size. I believe that, for those really interested, if you view it full size and scroll around a bit, you can read the entire article.)
I thought that was the end of it.
Then, on Friday, June 13 (National Juggling Day), I came into work and on my desk is the 'People & Places' section of my local newspaper (I'm not a subscriber, if you hadn't already figured that out). It's the same article that ran in Madison Magazine (there's an ad inset for the magazine at the bottom of the article), just slightly reformatted for the space.
The newspaper has a much wider circulation than the magazine, so for a while, just about everywhere I went, somebody would mention to me that they saw the article in the paper. I was almost a local celebrity for a few days! Crazy.
So, that's more than you ever wanted to know about how my photo got in the paper. Hopefully, that will make up for being a bit mysterious about posting it here without any explanation as to the details. (Alright, Michael??)

Comment by Philip McMaster:
People favourably respond to Change
Generally speaking, people don't change for the better when criticized. But they do respond favourably to praise.
Huaxi Cun is not the worst place in China, and it has been following and sometimes leading the objectives and trends of the government and Chinese people - first it was to get rich - and clean up the mess later. We did this in the West on our own schedule, some Chinese are doing it now under the generally hypocritical pressure of the global community.
人们对改变的有利反应
总体上，当人们受到批评的时候，不会变得更好。但他们受到表扬的时候，总是积极反应。华西村不是中国最差 的地方，它跟从着-有时也领导着中国政府与人民的目标与潮流。这个目标首先是变富，然后再处理垃圾。西方按照自己的日程表也这样做过。现在有些中国人也这 么做，就面临虚伪的国际压力。
An aspirational monument - if you choose to see it that way..
When I was invited to Huaxi Cun for the inauguration of the “Village in the Sky”, (www.tudou.com/programs/view/05XpJXkiNwI/ ) I spoke of the new tower as a beacon for all to see, not in terms of opulence and excess, but as a towering 3 element "Symbol of Sustainability" - an aspirational symbol rising above all else - including the cookie-cutter villas, the grubby factories, the money focus and the faux world landmarks - to shock and awe viewers into realizing that all monuments have a message – and this one should inspire people to make the connection between Heaven, Earth and the People (Tian, Di, Ren 天地人) and that to achieve Wu Renbao’s “Heaven on Earth”… the Triple-Bottom-Line balance between Society, Environment and Economy （社会,环境,经济）must become Huaxi’s new ethic.
一个振奋人心的里程碑——如果你从另一个角度解读
我应邀了参加华西村“空中新农村大楼”授牌仪式(www.tudou.com /programs/view/05XpJXkiNwI/ )，当时我谈到这栋大楼并不是炫富和挥霍，而是华西村的一个新地标。比起那些千篇一律的别墅，脏乱差的工厂，一切向钱看的态度和人造世界景观，这栋摩天大 楼是一个振奋人心 里程碑，它作为可持续发展的标志建筑让人感到震撼和心生敬畏，它能让人们感到天地人和谐发展的信息，体现了吴仁宝“人间天堂”的理念。以社会，环境和经济 作为三条支柱，寻求三者的平衡发展是华西村的新理念。

Following my presentation, the new building’s architect Ma Xusheng, in turn praised my interpretation of his building’s design, saying that no one had thought of it before, but that “with your new ‘Society, Environment, Economy ‘meaning attached, our building is even richer”.
At a private dinner with village leaders the evening before, I had shamelessly asked: “Now that Huaxi village is rich, what’s next?” – hoping to encourage them to expound on how they were going to share Huaxi’s wealth and expertise with other communities and to build sustainable enterprises based on a model ecological civilisation… however the response was understandable, as a bit more thinking is required; and considering most people’s focus was still on showing off and celebrating what they have achieved so far, the answer was a simple “Gambei!”

My article is in the October issue of Doll Reader!
"How to take better doll photos" (Not my title, LOL!)
One little problem - I haven't seen it myself yet. Have any of you?
Ronacher
This article deals with the Ronacher theater in Vienna. For other uses, see Ronacher (disambiguation).
Ronacher Theater
The Ronacher, earlier Etablissement Ronacher, is a theater in the first Viennese district Innere Stadt, located between Himmelpfortgasse, Seilerstätte and Schellinggasse. It forms together with the Raimund Theater and the Theater an der Wien the venues of the United Stages of Vienna and via the Vienna Holding to nearly 100 per cent owned by the City of Vienna (Rudolf Klausnitzer holds a minority interest ).
History
(Pictures can be seen by clicking on the link at the end of the page!)
The Vienna City Theatre shortly after the construction
Facade of the Ronacher (2008)
It was initially as Vienna municipal theater from 1871 to 1872 by the architects Ferdinand Fellner the Elder and Ferdinand Fellner the Younger for a private Ltd. of journalist Max Friedlander and theater playwright and conductor Heinrich Laube built. The two with it wanted to establish that a bourgeois theater which - without censorship - should compete against the imperial court theaters. The house was opened on 15 September 1872 with Schiller's Demetrius in a revion of Laube. Twelve years after the opening the house burned on 16 May 1884 down. Since the building is not free on all four sides, a reconstruction as a playhouse was not admitted because of the fire protection regulations valid in the meantime. 1886 Anton Ronacher bought the burnt-out ruins and had in turn by Ferdinand Fellner the Younger (who had meanwhile founded the office Fellner & Helmer) 1887-1888 on it build a concert hall and ballroom. The wall paintings were pictured by Eduard Veith. The main staircase was built with steps from Kaisersteinbruch. The new variety theater was attached a large ballroom and a hotel, in addition, it could already use electric light, contained promenades and a conservatory.
The new Ronacher was no playhouse but equipped with tables and chairs. During the performance was allowed to drink, to eat and to smoke. Due to the poor economic situation, however, Ronacher had to give up the house later. From 1890 appeared more often artists what increasingly attracted suburban population and was frighten away the aristocracy. Later, the program was supplemented by revues, operettas, dance and vocal performances. The house was in the process again and again rebuilt and adapted to the needs of modern vaudeville operation (1901, 1906 and ongoing 1907-1916; always by Ferdinand Fellner the Younger).
After the Anschluss in 1938, the theater by linearization (Aryanisation) passed over from its previous owner Samuel Schöngut, who then died in a concentration camp, to Bernhard Labriola.
After the Second World War was the Ronacher to 1955 alternative stage for the by bombs damaged Burgtheater. Then appeared again vaudeville artists before 1960 Austrian television used the premises for TV productions. After a ten-year vacancy, in 1986 for the first time the performance of an operetta took place, this time Cagliostro in Vienna of Johann Strauss (son). 1987 bought the United Stages of Vienna the house and performed the musical Cats and two operas. An architectural competition resulted in 1987 as a winning project a "deconstructivistic" increase. The project of Coop Himmelblau was however target of fierce public criticism and was in August 1991 sidelined. 2003, 2004 and 2008 was the Ronacher host of the gala ceremony of the Nestroy Theatre Prize.
After several years as a guest house for international productions and festival events the Ronacher was expanded by 46.9 million euros to a musical stage. By mid-2008 stage technology has been modernized and lowered the floor of the stage to two meters, which means the view to the stage has been improved. The increase of the building by architect Günther Domenig was carried out despite massive political and townscape preserving concerns.
The Ronacher currently disposes of 1,001 seats and 40 standing places. The exact number of seats and standing places varies depending on the production.

A photo of the pages in my old Eminem scrapbook. i started this scrapbook years ago and no longer add to this book anymore. There is a collection of images and interviews from the internet but mostly magazines.
An article about Pros and Cons on the Value to a framer of a "Doodlebug", Plus Pointers on Remaking Old Autos and Trucks for Use on Our Farms. Part 2.
This is a collection of images of Homemade tractors, American Doodlebugs, and Swedeish A and Epa-traktorer.
Many of the images here I have found all over the internet!
If anyone find their own image here and disapprove of me showing it here, just send me a message and I will remove it/them images!
An article in the November 2012 edition of "Barnsley Today" it seems that some clown is after converting part of the Woodhead trackbed into a motorway. If anything is done the line should be reopened even if just as a freight route to get road freight away from the trans-pennine roads then he could have a much better journey in his car, and it would cost much less that the amount he's proposing.

When analysts predicted that Woolworths would be broken up and sold in bits, few, if any, meant it literally.
Yet even the fixtures and fittings at Woolworths are up for sale, four days before the first stores begin to close, as administrators attempt to wring every last penny out of the stricken high street chain.
Shoppers yesterday could buy in-trays, wire baskets, chairs and noticeboards as well as stationery, furniture and office equipment.
Store safes were on sale for £300. The CCTV was up for grabs. Price lists, complete with photographs, were posted in stores. Such is the desperation to raise cash that Deloitte, the administrator to Woolworths, has devised an incentive scheme to encourage staff to sell office items. For every £100 of sales earned above the target, £10 will go to managers and £10 to workers.

A tragedy that this store is closing. The largest retailer in town located in the centre of the high street (Fore Street). This store provided an invaluable service to the local community. There are so many items you just won't be able to buy in the town anymore - driving yet more people to get in their cars and shop elsewhere. Forget the pick and mix (always popular with visitors in the summer), essentials such as toys, clothing, household appliances (e.g. iron, microwave etc.) could all be bought here.
The sad thing is that there were just too few little towns like this to provide Woolworths a lifeline.
The store will close on January 2nd 2008 - the fixtures and fittings are already being sold off.
The big question now is who will take over the space. Rumours for many years that JD Wetherspoon is interested but getting a license could be challenging. It is unlikely a retailer like Waitrose would move in as access with an articulated lorry is impossible making regular deliveries a huge challenge.
"It's" not very grammatical...but at least they didn't start repeating the text until the third column...better than many others I've seen.
