    RED FOX ROAD a middle-grade novel by Frances Greenslade 60,000 words / Final manuscript now available THE INCREDIBLE STORY OF ONE TEENAGE GIRL’S RESILIENCE WHEN A FAMILY TRIP GONE AWRY LEAVES HER STRANDED ALONE IN THE WILDERNESS Francie Fox has a passion for nature and all things survivalist, so when her parents surprise her with a family vacation to the Grand Canyon for her thirteenth birthday, she is ecstatic. Finally, she has a chance to test out what she’s learned from her new survival guides. But their family vacation gets off to a rocky start when they take a wrong turn and their truck breaks down on an off-road path deep in the Oregon forest. With no phones and no immediate help in sight, Francie’s dad has no choice but to hike to the nearest highway for assistance, leaving her and her mother in the car to wait for him. Things are fine at first. But as more and more time passes with no sign of her father, Francie’s mom becomes increasingly paranoid, until one morning Francie wakes up alone, with nothing but a note attached to the truck’s windshield. Her mother is gone. Alone, isolated, and with limited supplies in the dense forest, Francie must rely on the knowledge and skills she has developed in order to survive. And not only must she brave the wilderness, Francie must also confront the truth of her family’s years-long struggle in the wake of her twin sister’s death. Frances Greenslade channels her inner thirteen-year-old in her first middle-grade novel to create an inspiring tale of a young girl’s strength and resourcefulness.

  • Weekly Usually Results in the Rest of the Checkmates Carrying Their Disciple Off the Stage Leaving Many of the "Got To" Pilgrims, Talking to Themselves
    Week of August 29th, 1966 25CENTS Jon& Lee &The Checkmates Featured on National TVer Toronto: Sunday August 21st. was a big night for the Jon and Lee and The Checkmates fans who were holding their trauma meeting at The Avenue Road Club in The Village. This was the night the 'giant CBC corporation had set aside 30 minutes to spotlight one of Toronto's hottest rock and blues music groups, J L&C Ltd. The management of the club arranged for a giant TV screen and closed down the dancing activity so as to allow patrons to view their idols as stars of "Compass'. The production was a typical CBC arty effort and raw enough to be highly interesting. Glenn Sarty, CBC producer, used the candid camera technique to obtain his seemingly off the cuff situations. Jon and Lee as lead singers set the audience up for Jon's devastating evangelical solo blow that weekly usually results in the rest of The Checkmates carrying their disciple off the stage leaving many of the "got to" pilgrims, talking to themselves. Jon and Lee and The Checkmates Ltd. have attained international recognition the hard way. Volume 6, No. 1 Unlike many of the local groups who flip out poor quality records just to get a sound on wax, JL&C have been biding their time and looking the situation over carefully. They realize that their stage presentation would be difficult to reproduce on a disc and they would therefore suffer the rather ex- ROBERT J.

    Raw Thought: The Weblog of Aaron Swartz aaronsw.com/weblog 1 What’s Going On Here? May 15, 2005 Original link I’m adding this post not through blogging software, like I normally do, but by hand, right into the webpage. It feels odd. I’m doing this because a week or so ago my web server started making funny error messages and not working so well. The web server is in Chicago and I am in California so it took a day or two to get someone to check on it. The conclusion was the hard drive had been fried. When the weekend ended, we sent the disk to a disk repair place. They took a look at it and a couple days later said that they couldn’t do anything. The heads that normally read and write data on a hard drive by floating over the magnetized platter had crashed right into it. While the computer was giving us error messages it was also scratching away a hole in the platter. It got so thin that you could see through it. This was just in one spot on the disk, though, so we tried calling the famed Drive Savers to see if they could recover the rest. They seemed to think they wouldn’t have any better luck. (Please, plase, please, tell me if you know someplace to try.) I hadn’t backed the disk up for at least a year (in fairness, I was literally going to back it up when I found it giving off error messages) and the thought of the loss of all that data was crushing.
