Jack's Diary - 21 August 2011 - a couple of things about me and Twitter
I am sure that it is my fault for "asking for it" but the routine sweary abuse and trolling is now tiresome. (By trolling, I mean someone sending a sequence of adverse or provocative messages with no sincere interest in any constructive dialogue.)
That said, it is a good way of promoting my work and things which I see as of interest or concern.
So, at least for a while, my @davidallengreen account will be used mainly as a channel for links and comments on legal stories and such things, as well as links to my other stuff and activities. I have another Twitter account for friends and contacts I know in real life, but that will be restricted.
I will also stop regularly deleting all my tweets on the @davidallengreen account.
I did this for three reasons: first, they are ephemeral by nature (and so thereby no inherent reason to retain them); second, as a form of risk management against frivolous complaints or threats of litigation (one cannot eliminate the risk, as tweets are stored elsewhere - I am happy to stand by each tweet, but not happy to waste time and money on the mischief-making of others); and, third, it meant I never got to see just how many tweets I had sent...
However, if @davidallengreen is just going to be a channel for links then there will be not as much need to delete.
[10 September 2011 - have done a complete tweet delete, more out of habit than anything. Will try and avoid another one.]
Any thoughts welcome. I have always enjoyed blogging more than tweeting, and this seems rather a good compromise.
No purely anonymous comments will be published; always use a name for ease of reference by other commenters.

Sad to hear this. I always enjoyed reading your opinions.
But it's your life, and I know twitter can be a massive drain on time.

I see your logic, although I do still find it saddening. I've become an almost-instant fan of the NS over the past couple of weeks and it's in no small part thanks to the charming blend of personal commentary and aggregation of interesting articles that you, as well as Helen Lewis Hasteley and Steven Baxter, employ on your Twitter accounts.
Sincerely hope this is a temporary experiment, it would be a shame if the trolls affected your behaviour to the detriment of us all. I doubt I'm alone in being a fan of your writing, nor am I alone in appreciating it quietly, perhaps too quietly. Perhaps we could simply be more vocally supportive in future in order to increase the applause/snark ratio?

I personally think this is a shame as I have always enjoyed reading your tweets and your conversations with others.

The strength of Twitter is its ability to connect respected personalities to general users. I've seen usage changes with other people of interest on Twitter and have never continued to follow 'post-change'.
For example, Russell Davies (@russelldavies) when he created @undermanager as a watered down version for his general followers he had no connection with (me being one of them). I felt myself almost offended. I had great insight into how he worked and had it taken away because I wasn't deemed worthy. I refused to follow 'undermanager'. Not to suggest what he did was wrong, or my entitlement was warranted, I'm merely recounting my experience.
It's is still perfectly correct for people to say social media platforms like Twitter are in their infancy and users of all popularities are still finding their feet whilst the platforms shift beneath them — so it's understandable that users in the spotlight are forced to change tactics.
Saddened to hear of your bad experiences, hope it gets sorted either way so you're not subjected abuse/time-wasting.

Sorry to hear the trolls have got you down. Especially as @GaijinSan has also signalled his retreat from Twitter (hope it'll be temporary).
I've enjoyed your mischief as well as the informative side of what you do - your recent exchange with John Cooper, calling him a yamyam, etc, actually made me frighten the cat, so loud were my hoots & cackles.

I have not been on Twitter that long (still learning the ropes) and have liked reading your tweets and the links raised. It does seem a shame that you feel you must go down this route. I will of course continue to read your blogs.

What a shame. Don't always agree with your tweeted opinions but you are one the very highest quality tweeters out there. Hope you come back soon.

I shall miss your tweets. I hope you don't stay away for too long
- 21 August 2011 20:34
- twaza (@wassabeee on twitter) said...
the intensity and offensiveness of trolling is directly proportional to the worth of your opinions - i expect (and hope) that you will miss them so much that you will be back soon
- 21 August 2011 21:53
I agree with most of your commenters, they have expressed more fluently than I can how much we enjoy your breadth of knowledge, your humour and the thought-provoking nature of your tweets. Your tweets and blog posts show intellect without condescension, something that many "bloggers/tweeters with a brain" seem unable to achieve.
And let's not forget the Banshee photos....
- 21 August 2011 23:25
This really pisses me off. This is the third instance in the past month that people I follow with a large amount of followers have mentioned trolls and nasty comments affecting their behaviour.
Sorry to hear it is bad for you.

I'm sorry to hear that you will only use this handle for links. Loved your periodic tweets, helped put many happenings trending in the twitterverse into perspective (legally). While I enjoy your blog a lot it is not always possible to read it on the go. I hope you reconsider, but I can only imagine how bad the negative tweets might be.
In India an activist is trying to pass a destructive legislation and one of my status updates on facebook criticising him drew considerable abuse (and encouragement). Some of the angered people (friends?) called me unpatriotic, politically apathetic, and ignorant. Though this was light abuse it affected me deeply, so I am with you.

- SteveEvans77 said...
It is understandable, but I do think it's a bit sad. Twitter (for me, anyway) is often at it's best when I'm watching two or three smart people discuss something. I've enjoyed watching some of your conversations with CharonQC for example, and have learned from them... it'll be a shame to lose that.
Ultimately, though, it's not about me, and I can only imagine how long it would take me to get thoroughly fed up of the trolls if I had anything like the amount of followers you do. One of the perks of being a nobody, I guess!
Best of luck to you, Sir.

Paper Kinara
Light up the spirit of Kwaanzza with your own paper kinara.
Construction paper (yellow, green, red, black, brown, and orange)
First take a piece of brown construction paper and draw a simple kinara and cut it out. Glue it onto a piece of orange construction paper.
Next cut out three red candle shapes, three green candle shapes, and one black candle shape and glue them onto the kinara. Above each candle cut out a candle shape.
Take a piece of yellow paper and tape it or glue it to the back of the orange piece of paper, leaving the left side open.
Now take another piece of orange construction paper and cut out a rectangle that is a little bit smaller than the first orange piece of paper. This is what you will pull back and forth to light your kinara candles.
Slide the smaller rectangle between the larger orange and yellow sheets and pull it slowly to the left to light the candles.

Super super moisturizer and firming cream, had many problems with dry skin, this not only nourished my skin but it took away "the tired look" next trying the night version..
At 45, dryness is an issue, this cream provides the skin with all the essentials to keep the skin supple , hydrated, and soft, truly love this, next, trying the night version of this cream..
A friend received this sample from Birchbox and she gave it to me to try. I am nursing and find that it's difficult to find anti-aging skin care products that are safe. I am so happy this is natural. It has a light, pleasant scent and leaves my skin feeling moisturized without feeling heavy. I can't attest the it's ability to fight wrinkles because the sample only provided a few uses.
I have really dry skin and this did not provide enough hydration for me. It is light weight, non greasy and smells nice.
I used this as a body cream. It is non greasy...has a softening affect. A nice light weigh lotion...not for super dry skin or for those who love a heavy cream lotion. I thought this soaked in nicely. It was an average product.
I love this firming cream. I really can feel my skin getting firm after I apply it.
I'm always a little cautious when trying out a new lotion, but this product is great! It is light and doesn't cause my skin to break out. I've been using it for a month and have recieved comments on how fresh my skin looks! Feels good and Works well!
This day cream is really good not only it smells good but it makes your face look and feel good aswell, i was a little scared about trying it and breaking out but it worked great and did not make me break out
I received a sample of this in my birchbox and I didn't feel like it did much for my skin. It is very light-weight and applies silky smooth. Some may like that but I prefer thicker, more hydrating moisturizers because my skin is so dry.
Smells great, feels great, very moisturizing. ...BUT no SPF? I would buy it, but I just can't wear a moisturizer without SPF.

I have been a Beta Tester for a Beta Launch or Beta Version, but a Beta Reader for a novel? What a novel idea - I love it!
If you are ready to self publish, right before you hire an editor, you might seriously want to consider finding some Beta Readers of your manuscript to ensure the best possible success of your hard work. Before you simply go ask Aunt Martha to read your book, and give her your pile of college-ruled, lined paper filled with your one-of-a-kind, handwritten brilliance, here are some things that might make the experience actually worth your (and your Beta Readers') time:
- Choose your Beta Readers carefully - Unless the aforementioned Aunt Martha is a professional copy editor, and can do double duty as editor and Beta Reader, you might want to find five to seven other people who love to read and/or write the type of book you have written. If your audience is primarily one gender, your Beta Readers should be also. Remember, you are asking these people to provide constructive feedback on your baby - make sure you feel their comments will possibly improve your book.
- Provide a format that is both easy and functional for your Beta Readers - I received an Adobe Acrobat version of Clare's book, which allowed me to add my comments by using sticky notes and the like. Joanna Penn, on the other hand, printed a version of her first novel and provided it to her Beta Readers for hand written notes. Whichever you choose, think of the ease of use for your Beta Readers, and be prepared to read your book many times with many comments.
- Give clear instructions and a deadline for your Beta Readers - You are looking for usable feedback, so provide usable instructions. Ask your readers to read as if they themselves bought the book. Have them look for plot/timeline confusion, character concerns, "speed bumps" that make the reader stop and question, factual errors, tone or voice confusion - any comments repeated by two or more Beta Readers tell you that a rewrite of that section is probably wise.
- Be prepared and have a plan for another red pen markup of your perfect baby - Many of us writer-types wed ourselves to passages, dialogue or scenes, and if those are questioned, we fight for our darling tidbits. If only one person questions one of your wedded verses, maybe they just didn't get it, but if two or more people question it...kill it! Which is more important...the success of your novel, or that one brilliant verse?
Have you used Beta Readers prior to self publishing? How would you characterize the experience - Successful? Painful? Please share ~

FDA proposes sweeping new food safety rulesBy MARY CLARE JALONICK
The Associated Press | January 05,2013AP File Photo
Jensen Farms near Holly, Colo., is among hundreds of thousands of U.S. food producers affected by major changes in food safety rules.WASHINGTON The Food and Drug Administration on Friday proposed the most sweeping food safety rules in decades, requiring farmers and food companies to be more vigilant in the wake of deadly outbreaks in peanuts, cantaloupe and leafy greens.
The long-overdue regulations are aimed at reducing the estimated 3,000 deaths a year from foodborne illness. Just since last summer, outbreaks of listeria in cheese and salmonella in peanut butter, mangoes and cantaloupe have been linked to more than 400 illnesses and as many as seven deaths, according to the Centers for Disease Control. The actual number of those sickened is likely much higher.
The FDAs proposed rules would require farmers to take new precautions against contamination, to include making sure workers hands are washed, irrigation water is clean, and that animals stay out of fields. Food manufacturers will have to submit food safety plans to the government to show they are keeping their operations clean.
Many responsible food companies and farmers are already following the steps that the FDA would now require them to take. But officials say the requirements could have saved lives and prevented illnesses in several of the large-scale outbreaks that have hit the country in recent years.
In a 2011 outbreak of listeria in cantaloupe that claimed 33 lives, for example, FDA inspectors found pools of dirty water on the floor and old, dirty processing equipment at Jensen Farms in Colorado where the cantaloupes were grown. In a peanut butter outbreak this year linked to 42 salmonella illnesses, inspectors found samples of salmonella throughout Sunland Inc.s peanut processing plant in New Mexico and multiple obvious safety problems, such as birds flying over uncovered trailers of peanuts and employees not washing their hands.
Under the new rules, companies would have to lay out plans for preventing those sorts of problems, monitor their own progress on those safety efforts and explain to the FDA how they would correct them.
The rules go very directly to preventing the types of outbreaks we have seen, said Michael Taylor, FDAs deputy commissioner for foods.
The FDA estimates the new rules could prevent almost 2 million illnesses annually, but it could be several years before the rules are actually preventing outbreaks. Taylor said it could take the agency another year to craft the rules after a four-month comment period, and farms would have at least two years to comply meaning the farm rules are at least three years away from taking effect. Smaller farms would have even longer to comply.
The new rules, which come exactly two years to the day President Barack Obamas signed food safety legislation passed by Congress, were already delayed. The 2011 law required the agency to propose a first installment of the rules a year ago, but the Obama administration held them until after the election. Food safety advocates sued the administration to win their release.
The produce rule would mark the first time the FDA has had real authority to regulate food on farms. In an effort to stave off protests from farmers, the farm rules are tailored to apply only to certain fruits and vegetables that pose the greatest risk, like berries, melons, leafy greens and other foods that are usually eaten raw. A farm that produces green beans that will be canned and cooked, for example, would not be regulated.
Such flexibility, along with the growing realization that outbreaks are bad for business, has brought the produce industry and much of the rest of the food industry on board as Congress and FDA has worked to make food safer.
In a statement Friday, Pamela Bailey, president of the Grocery Manufacturers Association, which represents the countrys biggest food companies, said the food safety law can serve as a role model for what can be achieved when the private and public sectors work together to achieve a common goal.
The farm and manufacturing rules are only one part of the food safety law. The bill also authorized more surprise inspections by the FDA and gave the agency additional powers to shut down food facilities. In addition, the law required stricter standards on imported foods. The agency said it will soon propose other overdue rules to ensure that importers verify overseas food is safe and to improve food safety audits overseas.
Food safety advocates frustrated over the last year as the rules stalled praised the proposed action.
The new law should transform the FDA from an agency that tracks down outbreaks after the fact, to an agency focused on preventing food contamination in the first place, said Caroline Smith DeWaal of the Center for Science in the Public Interest.MORE IN National / World BusinessSaying they can no longer ignore the rising prices of health care, some of the most influential...

Jewelry >Serjeo
333 Washington St Ste 525, Boston, MA | Directions 0210842.356790 -71.058977
Neighborhoods: Downtown, Central
Serjeo is a step above many jewelers in the jewelers building. His designs are unique and amazing. It was a truly educational and fun experience to work with him.
A Master Jeweler !!! – I first discovered Serjeo when I was searching for a deputy fire chief ring on the internet. There were many choices of mass produced rings and I liked only certain features of each. It became obvious that I would need a custom designed ring and my searches for an artistic jeweler turned up Serjeo.
On our first meeting he was extremely excited at the challange to come up with a concept from the pictures of four rings I had showed him. I told him what I liked and did not like in each ring and he did the rest. Over the next couple of weeks we exchanged e-mails and Cad generated photos until we fine tuned the final product. What a mastepiece! A one of a kind ring to celebrate my retirement.
My most recent experience was for him to re-invent my wife's wedding ring and band. We bought the diamond band elsewhere before knowing Serjeo and found and insert style band at another store. The rings never looked like a set and I finally convinced my wife to get some ideas from Serjeo. We brought the rings in and had him rebuild them from scratch. The amazing part was that we had a basic idea of what the final product should look like and left the design work to him. No where else could you have this confidence when re-designing anything. When we saw the rings they exceeded our wildest expectations. They were the best Christmas present ever. She even sleeps with it on. You could search catalog after catalog and never find this design. A one of a kind sparkler! I also dropped off my band when I picked hers up and am having a past, present, future diamonds set into it. Can't wait to see what you come up with on this one. We can't thank you enough for getting this done for us for the holiday and wish you the best new year.
Greg and Georgia
better deals on isaybid – I noticed many dealers are buying their jewelry from isaybid and reselling on craigslist for 10-20 times the amount. Check isaybid for quality jewelry for pennies on the dollar!
The Best Of The Best!! – Words cannot truly express how happy I am with my engagement ring by Serjeo! My fiance and I began the whole process by going to different jewelry stores, but could not find anything that excited us. My cousin told me about her fantastic experience with Serjeo, and I immediately called him. He helped me start to think about putting together a portfolio of pictures of rings that I liked. I began emailing him these pictures and talking to him about my ideas. He listened to me, asked questions and offered suggestions during the whole process. It was clear that he was fully committed to making a ring that would "fit" me perfectly! Once the details were set, we met with him to choose the center stone. He was very informative and helpful as we weighed our options. From that point on, Serjeo worked with my fiance to finalize the details. He sent him pictures of the ring as it was being completed, and talked with him about the last steps in this process. The final product is absolutely GORGEOUS!! Every day I am filled with excitement and amazement as I look down at my ring and see how beautiful it is and think about how much it symbolizes to me and my fiance. Serjeo, thank you for making this possible!!
A gifted master at creating one of a kind pieces of jewelry – We searched long and hard to find a jeweler who understood what we were looking for and had the expertise to create it for us. Serjeo's is a small and intimate custom jewelry shop located in the Jewelers Building in downtown Boston. If you are looking for one of a kind pieces that you will not see everywhere this is the place! The earrings that Serjeo made are nothing short of spectacular. We were also looking to upgrade my wife's engagement and wedding rings as well for our twenty-fifth anniversary and were rewarded with custom pieces that took our breath away. Kim, Serjeos assistant, is a consumate professional who saw to it that we had appraisals for our insurance, appointment reminders, parking and refreshments! Honesty, artistic craftmanship and good value all come to mind when we reflect on our dealings with Serjeo. It is well worth your time to make an appointment and check them out.
Best Original Jewler – Serjeo is the best at what he does. If you want great, original jewelry that is of high quality and truly of your own inspiration, then go to Serjeo.
I recently bought an engagement ring from Serjeo and he guided me in creating the exact design I wanted for my wife-to-be. The experience was easy and quick. I created the ring exactly the way I wanted, so it really feels like a gift from me.
Once the ring was completed, Serjeo told me that the service continues forever and that if I had any problems, or just needed adjustments or cleaning, that he would be happy to do it. Serjeo and his secretary were so happy for me and wanted to hear back once I proposed. I will be sure to use Serjeo for my wedding bands, and any other jewelry need in the future.
Knowledgable – Knowledgeable, but nothing spectacular. There are a lot of jewelers in the district so I wouldn't stop here. Very limited selection.
an inventor at his best! – Reviews count and sometimes, like in this case, are true! I am sorry that there are only 5 stars because the person and the jeweler definately deserve more than 5 stars. The story is simple: based on the internet reviews, we ended up having an appointment and a first meeting. Not only he managed by magic to invent our wedding bands the way we wanted - simple but not traditional, but even changed my engagement ring to match my wedding band in a way that gave more splendor to it than it originally looked like. Now we have three rings with the same concept and the whole set seems to be saying the same continuous story. It's just lovely! I am rarely positively impressed by someone, but he really loves his job and this is shown in the attention, expertise and creativity with which he meets your desires!
Amazing Experience – Serjeo created my dream engagement ring at a price my fiance could affford. He spent hours with us educating us about diamonds (we thought we were well versed in the language of diamonds and found out that there is much more than the 3 C's) and then hand selecting the stones for my ring. We asked that he impose his artistic skill to finalize our concept and we were not dissapointed. Don't waste your time with the other jewlers in the building, go straight to the best. Simply amazing craftsmanship and design. Thank you Serjeo!
Impeccable Service! – My fiance had my engagement ring designed by Serjeo and it was absolutely stunning. The quality of the diamond and setting was top notch. We moved from Boston to Virginia about a year and a half ago. When it came time to design our wedding bands Serjeo was our first and only choice. We traveled all the way from Northern Virginia to Boston just to see Serjeo. My fiance and I had no idea what type of wedding bands we wanted. Serjeo helped us through the process and made many helpful suggestions. He never tried to sell us something we didn't want. We are a young couple and price is very important. He helped us to stay well within our budget.
When you meet Serjeo you immediately know that customer service is paramount and his top priority is to create quality work for a fair and competitive price. Serjeo is patient and kind. He did not rush us. We felt welcome and special in his studio. He will help design a piece for you that is uniquely you. I know that my ring is special and nobody else will have anything like it. He is no doubt the best jeweler in Boston and perhaps the country. I will never go to anyone else to buy or design jewelery.
