Christopher Ingraham – Washington Post: “I ordered a box of crickets…”

This story is too fun: “I ordered a box of crickets from the Internet and it went about as well as you’d expect,” by Christopher Ingraham December 29, 2018 in the Washington Post. Find it here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2018/12/29/i-ordered-box-crickets-internet-it-went-about-well-youd-expect/?utm_term=.a0a393b763f6 

“For Christmas this year, my family adopted a young bearded dragon lizard as a pet.

“Our dragon, whom we named Holly, eats a lot, and the thing she loves to eat most is crickets (typically about 10 a day, in addition to other things like mealworms and vegetables). From the get-go, I knew that keeping an ample supply of crickets on hand would require some planning. We live in a rural area of northwestern Minnesota. The closest pet shop is an hour away, in North Dakota. Restocking our cricket supply would require a time commitment of at least two hours out and back.

“By Christmas Day this year, Holly’s cricket supply was running low. I decided to order crickets online, which I had never done before, to save a trip to North Dakota. I bought the crickets from Fluker Farms, one of the more well-established online insect vendors (yes, these exist and there are a lot of them). I decided on a shipment of 250 crickets …” Read much more here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2018/12/29/i-ordered-box-crickets-internet-it-went-about-well-youd-expect/?utm_term=.a0a393b763f6

The Oct. 1, 1910 bombing of the Los Angeles Times killed 21 people

The Oct. 1, 1910 bombing of the Los Angeles Times killed 21 people

In its recent newsletter, the Society of Professional Journalists has taken the opportunity to remind us about the Oct. 1, 1910 bombing of the Los Angeles Times building.

The 1910 bombing of the Los Angeles Times has been the subject of books and film. By CAROLINA A. MIRANDA SEP 22, 2017 http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/arts/miranda/la-et-cam-esotouric-los-angeles-times-bombing-20170922-story.html

The weapon: 16 sticks of dynamite and a windup alarm clock.

The target: The old Los Angeles Times building, an 1886 brick-and-granite edifice known as "the fortress," on Broadway and First Street, across the street from where The Times is located today.

The bomber: J.B. McNamara, who was linked to an ironworkers union that ordered the attack — part of a radical bombing campaign to go after anti-union strongholds in the early days of the 20th century.

Twenty-one people died in the early hours of Oct. 1, 1910, when the explosive device ripped an entire wing off The Times building. A night editor and a telegraph operator were among the dead, and dozens of others were wounded and maimed. A report published in The Times two days after the incident described the scene as an "awful pit of death."

Heralded as the "crime of the century," the bombing has been the subject of books (such as "Deadly Times" by Lew Irwin) and it has figured in documentaries (Peter Jones' "Inventing L.A.: The Chandlers and Their Times").

“Many people hear voices when no one is there.

Others are called ‘writers” and they do pretty much the same thing. Attributed to Ray Bradbury.

Karen Woodward: The Trouble With Adverbs

I believe the road to hell is paved with adverbs ....
- Stephen King, On Writing

Why do many writers hate adverbs?

When I first read Stephen King's On Writing I confess I thought his stance toward adverbs a tad harsh. How could a part of speech be categorically condemned? As Jeff Chapman writes:

Adverbs shade the meaning of the words they modify. They are grammatical and an accepted part of speech. I've seen them used by well-respected writers. So, what's behind the injunctions against adverbs? (Why No Adverbs?)

As I investigated the roots of the prejudice against the adverb (I was tempted to write "the lowly adverb" but restrained myself) I came to agree with the admonition to eschew the use of adverbs, or at least to try. This blog post is my attempt at a partial explanation of why we should treat the adverb with caution.

Much of what follows has been drawn from Charlie Jane Anders' article, Seriously, What's So Bad About Adverbs?

Mark Liberman: Patchwriting - June 13, 2014 Language Log

Mark Liberman: Patchwriting - June 13, 2014 Language Log

Retrieved February 4, 2016 as a result of a discussion on Facebook among a number of writers about an article on Poynter: “Is it original? An editor’s guide to identifying plagiarism:” http://www.poynter.org/2014/is-it-original-an-editors-guide-to-identifying-plagiarism/269273/

I could have sworn that I heard the term, “patchwriting” many-many years ago, but Mark Liberman has traced it back to 1993…

According to Mr. Liberman, in a June 13, 2014 article, “Patchwriting,” published on the website, “Language Log,” “patchwriting has been around for a while.” Find the article here: http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=12963

Mr. Liberman reports the origin of the term, “seems to be in Rebecca Moore Howard, ‘A plagiarism pentimento", [sic] Journal of teaching writing 1993…”

Now I do not know what I am talking about but that has never stopped me in the past. Mr. Liberman’s piece is a fascinating read for those of us who celebrate being OCD and getting lost in the weeds over such matters.

I especially appreciated the comments in which one commenter waxed poetically about Immanuel Kant’s use of language from the King James Version of the New Testament and whether or not Kant should have added quotation marks. No mention of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, but Mark Twain, Monty Python, and Shakespeare did post cameo appearances.

Why digital natives prefer reading in print. Yes, you read that right. - The Washington Post

Why digital natives prefer reading in print. Yes, you read that right. - The Washington Post: By Michael S. Rosenwald February 22, 2015  http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/why-digital-natives-prefer-reading-in-print-yes-you-read-that-right/2015/02/22/8596ca86-b871-11e4-9423-f3d0a1ec335c_story.html?wpisrc=nl_headlines&wpmm=1

"Frank Schembari loves books — printed books. He loves how they smell. He loves scribbling in the margins, underlining interesting sentences, folding a page corner to mark his place.

Schembari is not a retiree who sips tea at Politics and Prose or some other bookstore.

He is 20, a junior at American University, and paging through a thick history of Israel between classes, he is evidence of a peculiar irony of the Internet age: Digital natives prefer reading in print.

 “I like the feeling of it,” Schembari said, reading under natural light in a campus atrium, his smartphone next to him. “I like holding it. It’s not going off. It’s not making sounds.”

 Textbook makers, bookstore owners and college student surveys all say millennials still strongly prefer print for pleasure and learning, a bias that surprises reading experts given the same group’s proclivity to consume most other content digitally. A University of Washington pilot study of digital textbooks found that a quarter of students still bought print versions of e-textbooks that they were given for free." ... http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/why-digital-natives-prefer-reading-in-print-yes-you-read-that-right/2015/02/22/8596ca86-b871-11e4-9423-f3d0a1ec335c_story.html?wpisrc=nl_headlines&wpmm=1

Sean M. Lynn-Jones: I’m one of the people Sen. John Walsh plagiarized from - The Washington Post

I’m one of the people Sen. John Walsh plagiarized from - The Washington Post: By Sean M. Lynn-Jones July 24

http://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2014/07/24/sen-john-walsh-plagiarized-from-me/

Sean M. Lynn-Jones is editor of the quarterly journal International Security and a research associate at the Belfer Center at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University.

"On Wednesday afternoon, a flurry of phone calls and e-mails informed me that Sen. John Walsh (D-MT) had apparently included—verbatim and without attribution—several pages of a 1998 paper of mine in a work he submitted to the U.S. Army War College. Walsh’s paper, which also failed to properly reference the work of others, was one of the requirements for the master’s degree he received from the War College in 2007."

http://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2014/07/24/sen-john-walsh-plagiarized-from-me/

Even in 2007, my paper, “Why the United States Should Spread Democracy,” was out of date. I wrote it in 1998, when the Clinton administration was embracing the strategy of spreading democracy.

By 2007, U.S. interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan had, to put it mildly, given democracy promotion a bad name.

The paper needed significant revisions to address what had happened in those two countries, respond to criticisms, and cite the most recent literature. Nevertheless, it remained online and was often the most viewed publication on the Web site of Harvard’s Belfer Center. ...

When cows type: the power of the written word | Poynter.: by Roy Peter Clark Published May 1, 2014 

[...] Read more: http://www.poynter.org/how-tos/newsgathering-storytelling/249828/when-cows-type-the-power-of-the-written-word/ 

Just this week I addressed a group of college writers at the University of South Florida in St. Petersburg and decided to use my 10 minutes to read them “Click, Clack, Moo.” When I announced my intention, I was surprised when a little voice in the middle of the crowd exclaimed, “I love that book!” 

It was a young girl named Isabella, a first or second grader, sitting on her mom’s lap. I invited her to sit next to me so she could enjoy the images in the book along with the text.

In the story, some cows find an old typewriter in a barn and learn to type. 

Farmer Brown hears them typing and talking: “Click clack, moo…clickety clack, moo.” The cows deliver a note to the farmer: that it is too cold in the barn and that they want electric blankets. He is outraged as the protest spreads from cows to chickens. Unless demands are met, there will be no more milk and no more eggs...

‘A Fragile Trust’ exhibits irresponsibility behind Jayson Blair plagiarism scandal - The Washington Post:

[...]

I’d awakened absurdly early in Miami, where I was The Washington Post’s Southern bureau chief, to catch a flight to Texas. I was supposed to write a piece about the family of the last missing U.S. soldier after the fall of Iraq, a 24-year-old Army mechanic named Edward Anguiano. But when I fished the New York Times off my front porch and sleepily scanned the headlines, there was my story — my story! — on the front page of the competition. I barely recognized the byline.

It was some guy named Jayson Blair.

My lousy day got lousier once I arrived in Anguiano’s home town of Los Fresnos, a speck on the map near the Mexican border at the southern tip of Texas. Anguiano’s mother, who had earlier agreed to an interview, blew me off. While I waited at a gas station for her to call me back, I flipped through a folder of background reading. Something bothered me about one of the articles: a San Antonio Express-News piece about Anguiano. But I couldn’t figure out why... http://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/a-fragile-trust-exhibits-irresponsibility-behind-jayson-blair-plagiarism-scandal/2014/05/05/596aca28-d45d-11e3-95d3-3bcd77cd4e11_story.html

Sarah Tressler: Houston Chronicle Society Writer By Day, Stripper By Night By Richard Connelly

Sarah Tressler: Houston Chronicle Society Writer By Day, Stripper By Night By Richard Connelly Mon., Mar. 26 2012

http://blogs.houstonpress.com/hairballs/2012/03/houston_chronicle_stripper.php

​It sounds like a bad rom-com book and movie, which no doubt its author hopes it will be -- society reporter for a big-city newspaper by day, stripper by night.

That's apparently the life being led by Sarah Tressler, who began writing society stuff for the Houston Chronicle after Douglas Britt left the paper to begin his own very odd double life.

Tressler blogs, Facebooks and tweets about her life as an "angry stripper." It's all pretty much what you'd expect -- writing in the style that really, really wants to be described as "fearless" and "intelligent" and "funny" ... http://blogs.houstonpress.com/hairballs/2012/03/houston_chronicle_stripper.php

"2011 brought ever more things to skim, sort, filter, and read, so it's no surprise that our collective Instapaper queues are overflowing.

Before you mark everything as read — you're not really going to get to those 3,219 unread articles no matter how hard you attack your New Year's resolutions — we've got a couple stories that you shouldn't miss. Here's a selection of writing about technology that stayed with us, whether it offered a particular insight into a startup, added a fresh take on endless social media pandering, or simply nailed some classic pound-the-pavement, behind-the-scenes reporting." http://www.theverge.com/2011/12/30/2667920/best-tech-writing-2011

Jim Lee: History puts things in perspective

My note: Since I was just using - and reminiscing upon the days in which I depended on carbon paper; I particularly enjoyed this column by Carroll Times editor Jim Lee

In an e-mail exchange this past week with columnist Carolyn Scott, she mentioned that I was probably too young to remember carbon paper.

Bless her.

Not only do I remember carbon paper, but I also remember cameras that used film, telephones that were attached to a cord, 45 records and a host of other items that were cutting edge in their day, but have since become virtually non-existent. And since the end of the year is typically a time when people compile lists, I thought I'd put together one of my own; one with an historical twist… http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/news/opinion/columnists/article_59e36a1a-0ed0-11e0-8b29-001cc4c03286.html
