Author has written 22 stories for Avatar: Last Airbender, Earth 2, Forgotten Realms, Lost, Misc. Tv Shows, and Supernatural.
UPDATED 6/5/15 -- see I'm still here and still read reviews. So if you read, please do review. I love to hear from readers (especially those who enjoy my stuff.)
Well, the wheels of time turn and things change. My publisher folded, so I am currently out of print. That might mean I quit trying, it might not. I haven't decided.
Meanwhile, I do still love fanfiction and fanfiction readers. In fact, I'm working on a commission piece for Daisy Snapdragon for Supernatural. I will be posting as it comes together.
Fanfiction has really helped me refine my craft and I am a much better writer than I was when I began. Here's why I love it so:
Fanfic allows writers to enter the works they love. It allows them to make commentary on characters and themes and plot elements that they personally find interesting and fulfilling. I think it's the ultimate compliment to the author of the source material and the ultimate literary criticism. If a writer wants to know what worked in their piece, they need to read the fics that have been posted. That will tell them faster than anything else.
Fanfic also allows readers to give immediate feedback to the writer. Knowing what worked in a chapter or what didn't can help writers hone their craft and sharpen their stories. I don't know how many times I've reconsidered my plans because of reviewers' interests or suggestions. And boy, do I love getting reviews. That's the payoff for writing fanfic. Somebody lets you know they're reading. It's especially great when they like it and are specific about what they like. So don't ever be stingy with reviews--not just with me, with everybody you read.
Okay, a little about my obsessions:
SUPERNATURAL: Yep, I'm working on a Supernatural piece, partially due to a request from Daisy Snapdragon whom I love dearly, but partially because Sam and Dean ring the same bells in me as some of the other characters I obssess about. Dean in particular. I do have some pretty serious misgivings regarding the theology of the show, (did anybody actually read the Bible before putting stuff from it on the screen??); however, I love the characters and the urban legend angle of the early part of the series. If you choose to read this one, know that it is chock full of wish-fulfillment for any of you fangirls wanting to put yourself into the series and be Sam or Dean's happily ever after. Plus it also co-stars my dog, Scooter, who is much more wonderful in fiction than he is in real life. But he's pretty seriously wonderful in real life too.
MAYHEM!: Yes, I am writing a fic about the Mayhem character from the Allstate insurance commercials! Why? Because Mayhem is hot! He's so funny and so flirtatious even while he's up to absolutely no good. Anybody outside the US can just go to www.youtube.com and search for the Nothing But Mayhem channel. He/she has all the ads in very good quality and easy to watch in one place. Besides, they're just plain hilarious. My fave has to be Douglas Fir. Unless it's Tree Limb. Or Snow. I just love them all! Maybe I will fall back in love with him and finish this story. I do have more chapters, just not posted.
LOST: Okay, the word for the day is James "Sawyer" Ford. OMG. How much angst and sexiness can fit in one frequently shirtless package? Lost is a fabulous show full of weird and wonderful stuff (much like Earth2 by the way). I still miss it.
FORGOTTEN REALMS: Artemis Entreri. 'Nuff said.--Oh, okay, here's more on my Forgotten Realms obsession. I do love Artemis Entreri. I have always loved Artemis Entreri even when he was an evil villain. And it's been such way fun to add to canon where he is concerned. There's so much left unsaid about him after Road of the Patriarch until he shows back up as Barrabus in Gauntylgrym. And I was seriously disappointed in Barrabus. So Divergence is my answer to that. I have to admit I had my doubts about him and Dwahvel as a pairing after Road of the Patriarch. But when I started exploring Dwahvel, I realized she was just exactly what he needed. And that she needed him. I hate that she's less present in Divergence, but am trying to keep her with him in his memory.
AVATAR READERS: I'm a huge Zuko x Toph fan--as if you can't tell that from Land of Fire and Stone and Voice of the Earth. I was not satisified with Zuko and Mai ending up sort of together at the end of Season 3. I think Jet and Mai make a much more interesting couple. Yes, you heard me--Jet is not dead. He's alive and well and currently living in Omashu. Read Voice of the Earth if you don't believe me. I always thought the series needed to have four books. I guess I'm working on the same Fire, Earth, Water in Bender, that leaves only Air. Yep, there's an idea for Air floating in my brain. It's called The Last Skybison. Sooner or later I will get to it. After all, it's just not right that Appa is the last one. And I will not let that go unanswered!!!
EARTH 2 READERS: What is not to love about that show?! We got so robbed by just having one season. They never got a chance to explore all the hints they dropped, so I decided to just do it for them by writing Season 2. I wanted to play with all those ideas and strange notions--especially the ones that seemed a bit on the far fetched side at first glance ("Flower Child"? Oh, please--we all said--but I think it was far more important than it seemed). The time investment in getting Devon out of cold sleep had to be believable (plus Debrah Farentino needed maternity leave!) and there was so much to do with that whole biochip, mysterious illness thing. We couldn't just wrap that up deus ex machina style. Also, as much as I want Danziger and Devon to discover that they are made for each other, I just don't see that as being something that the series would have done quickly. So I'm not going to rush it either. It's more fun that way. Anyhow, I'll have to be back writing new stuff because I left Zeke (the OC ZED--I just love him!) unconscious. I can't abandon him that way.
And what do almost all of these have in common? You guessed it--Clancy Brown!! Clancy Brown provides the scary, but compelling voice of Long Feng in Ba Sing Se and also played curly haired mechanic John Danziger--I will stop there for fear of waxing eloquent. If you see me on the Buckaroo Banzai fanfic lists, you'll know I'm writing about Rawhide--who is also not dead, trust me. And did you notice Clancy Brown in Lost as Kelvin Inman?? See, Clancy Brown is in everything I love. When they make a Forgotten Realms movie, Clancy Brown will play a dwarf or disgruntled villager or something.
Anyway, thanks for reading my stuff and sending me reviews. I look forward to feedback! Just knowing you're out there reading makes it that much more fun to do. So take a second and drop a note!

Pisgah shuts out North Henderson
Published: Wednesday, April 29, 2009 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 28, 2009 at 11:39 p.m.
Ah, to be young again. Forgive North Hendersons softball team for not sharing the sentiment.
Photo Galleries
The Lady Knights hosted unbeaten and top-ranked Pisgah on Tuesday. With the help of a North error one of four on the day the Sugar Bears scored six two-out runs in the fourth inning and came away with a 7-0 victory.
A Lady Knight win would have given them a share of the Western Athletic Conference lead. Pressure?
Yes and no, said North coach Jennifer Kilpatrick. They were mentally ready, they just didnt step up when they needed to.
Offense included. North went 0-for-11 as a team with runners in scoring position as Pisgah starter Taylor Willis tossed a complete-game shutout.
Lady Knight sophomore Alex Strickland dueled with Willis early, taking a no-hitter into the fourth. After Strickland corralled a line shot back up the middle which left her stomach sporting a grapefruit-sized welt for a groundout to start the inning, Willis broke up the no-hit bid with a single to left-center field.
With Willis still on first, a two-out error and miscommunication helped open the floodgates.
Jamie George followed the fielding error with a run-scoring double to the fence. Strickland then issued her second walk of the game but appeared to be out of the inning with just one run in when Ally Cochran hit an infield pop-up.
The ball landed between three Lady Knights and the inning continued.
Just young, rookie mistakes, Kilpatrick said. Were a young bunch and thats what cost us. We played them well compared to the last time we played them. We made mistakes. It was our mistakes that cost us the game.
Taylor Nicholson had Norths only extra-base hit, a double to open the bottom of the fifth.
With Pisgah moving to 17-0 and 7-0 in the WAC, it looks as if the second-place Lady Knights (7-7, 5-2) will have to wait until 2010 to make another run at the league championship.
North will travel to Smoky Mountain for another conference game on Friday.

Winning pitcher: Clark (7 IP, 7 R, 7 H, 2 Ks, 4 BBs)

Films (16 mm) for Students of Physics36(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1974515View Description Hide Description
Some 1020 films useful for instruction in physics, mostly at the college level, are listed by field. Addresses of distributors are given. This listing, which includes some foreign films, is intended to be helpful to instructors seeking suitable films for classroom use in school and college, and to those planning future films. Some comments are made on the availability and suitability of 8 mm films.
Demonstration Experiment Using a Dissectable Anharmonic Oscillator36(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1974516View Description Hide Description
The concept of perturbations is introduced to the general physics student using a forced anharmonic oscillator constructed on a linear air track. The interaction between a bar magnet mounted atop the glider and two Umagnets supplies the perturbation. The general characteristics of the system are described, and plots of the amplitude versus driving frequency showing a "jump" effect are presented. The advantage of the system described is that all components of the system are open to study by the student.
Integral-Differential Equation for the Temperature-Dependent Spatial Distribution Function36(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1974517View Description Hide Description
An integral-differential equation was derived for the temperature-dependent spatialdistribution function of quantum statistical thermodynamics and analytical solutions for several quantum systems were given. It was shown that the classical and quantum-mechanical equations for the temperature-dependent spatialdistribution function for a separable potential differ by one term proportional to Planck's constant squared. In several limiting cases it was found that solutions obtained from the integral-differential equation agreed with those obtained by Uhlenbeck using other methods.
Boundary Conditions for Spherical Sound-Wave Propagation36(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1974518View Description Hide Description
This paper presents a coherent approach to the theory of spherical sound-wave propagation in fluids and elastic solids. The formulation unifies the treatment of boundary conditions, prescribed displacement or stress at an interior surface, and brings together various results scattered throughout the literature. To illustrate application of the theory, square pulses in velocity and stress are specified at an interior surface and the flow variables in the resulting disturbances are calculated. The method of analysis and results are presented in a manner useful to research workers in this field as well as to physics students less familiar with the area of wave propagation.
High-Pressure Viscosity Experiment for the Undergraduate Laboratory36(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1974519View Description Hide Description
A falling-ball type of viscometer has been developed employing remote sensing of the ball position. It has been utilized in measurements of the effect of pressure on the viscosity of liquids in the range up to 2 kbar. The experiment is well suited to use in the undergraduate physics laboratory.
Green's Function Theory of Ferromagnetism36(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1974520View Description Hide Description
The Green function method is applied to a system consisting of two spins which are coupled by exchange. The magnetization, the correlation function, the zero-field magnetic susceptibility, and the magnetic specific heat are evaluated. Since the two-spin system gives Green function results easily, and since exact results are calculated for comparison, the two-spin system is a particularly effective teaching tool for the Green function method. The calculations in this paper assume that the exchange coupling of the spins is as described by the Heisenberg Hamiltonian, and we treat only the case of positive exchange integral J. Only the case of spin and Tyablikov decoupling (or the random phase approximation) is considered in this paper. As might be expected the Tyablikov decoupling approximation gives poor results, but this is compensated by the ease with which the Green function results are obtained. However, in many cases one can simply generalize to larger spins and other decoupling approximations, if desired. Generalizations are also possible for larger "clusters" of spins with constant J for each pairwise interaction.
Optimum Design of Student Experiments on Rutherford Scattering36(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1974521View Description Hide Description
The optimum design of student experiments on Rutherford scattering is investigated in terms of both minimum counting times and range of useful experience of scattering techniques. The geometrical corrections for an annular target, source, and detector of finite sizes are presented; and the multiple-scattering and energy-variation corrections for a target of finite thickness are considered in detail. Apparatus is described and results presented for measurements over the range 15°–90°, using an α source of activity about 100 μCi, with the differential cross sections at 12 angles measured to an accuracy of ± 5% in about 6 h of laboratory time.
A Sophomore Course in Experimental Physics36(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1974522View Description Hide Description
A one-semester experimental physics course has been divided into two parts to enable students to plan and execute their own experiments. The first part of the course introduces some of the instruments and techniques of experimental physics through a set of programmed laboratories. The second part provides the opportunity to do a complete experiment from design to analysis without lab notes and with very little supervision.

Fears of Extremism Widen to Scandinavia
Sweden's recent suicide bombing underscores a growing reality in the terror world: The threat of attacks is spreading beyond locations traditionally considered targets for Islamic extremists.
Scandinavia is emerging as one such new frontier, with a number of arrests and other incidents over recent months in the region, including in Norway and Denmark.
That notion was punctuated Wednesday when the Swedish Security Service, SAPO, issued a report saying that a number of Islamist extremist networks are operating in the country. The groups embrace violence, mostly focused on action against foreign troops in Muslim countries, according to the government-commissioned report into radicalization. SAPO has identified close to 200 individuals domiciled in Sweden, mostly males of varying ages and background, who it says are involved in the groups.
"The most serious potential threat to Sweden is the long-term effects of people from Sweden choosing to travel abroad to join violence-promoting Islamist extremist groups," the report said. "This type of travel has seen an increase lately and there are currently no signs of falling interest in joining foreign groups."
Sights on Northern Europe
September 2005: Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten publishes cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad, whose images are banned under Islamic tradition. Protesters set fire to Scandinavian embassies abroad.
August 2007: A Swedish newspaper publishes a drawing depicting Muhammad, sparking further outrage among Muslims.
July 2010: Norwegian police arrest three terror suspects in connection with alleged plans to attack Jyllands-Posten as well as the Chinese Embassy in Oslo.
September: Danish police arrest Chechen Lors Doukaiev for detonating a bomb in a Copenhagen hotel. Police suspect the bomb attack was a plot to blow up Jyllands-Posten that had gone wrong.
December: A suicide bombing attack near Christmas shoppers on Stockholm streets killed the man police believe was the bomber and injured two others.
The comments come as Swedish authorities continue to investigate the country's first serious attempt by Islamic extremists at targeting civilians. Police are looking for possible accomplices to the man who died in the suicide bombing Saturday afternoon in Stockholm, near streets frequented by Christmas shoppers, injuring two others.
Western authorities' focus has traditionally been on the vulnerability of European countries such as the U.K. and Germany. But in recent years, other countries have proved to be potential targets for those with extremist ideas.
"The Nordic countries are not different from the rest of Europe. We are now living in a globalized world," said Göran Larsson, an associate professor at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, who focuses on Islam.
While millions of Muslims live in Germany and the U.K., Muslims account for a share of Scandinavian countries' populations that is as large, if not larger. Sweden's estimated 350,000 to 400,000 Muslims constitute about 4% of the population, says Mr. Larsson, a percentage that is higher than in Germany or the U.K.
The move by Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten in September 2005 to publish cartoons depicting Prophet Muhammad sparked protests by Muslim communities around the world, with demonstrators setting fire to Scandinavian embassies abroad. Under Islamic tradition, images of the Prophet are banned. Further controversy was caused when in 2007 a Swedish newspaper published a drawing by local artist Lars Vilks also depicting the Prophet.
This summer, Norwegian police arrested and charged three alleged al-Qaeda members suspected of having links with those suspected of plotting to bomb U.K. targets and the New York subway system. Police have named the suspects as 39-year-old Mikael Davud, a Uighur who became a Norwegian citizen in 2007; Shawan Sadek Saeed Bujak, a 37-year-old Iraqi Kurd; and Uzbek national David Jakobsen, 32 years old.
Norwegian police allege that from August 2009, the men had been gathering hydrogen peroxide and other material intended for bombmaking and that their targets included Jyllands-Posten, the Danish paper that published the Mohammad cartoons, and the Chinese embassy in Oslo.
Norwegian police have charged the men with planning a terror attack and handling explosive materials. Messrs. Davud and Bujak remain in police custody. Mr. Jakobsen has been released but still faces charges. The investigation is ongoing.
Arild Humlen, a lawyer representing Mr. Davud, said his client has admitted to planning an attack, but that it was against the Chinese embassy to protest the treatment of the Uighur people and wasn't motivated by Islamic extremism. Lawyers for the other two men couldn't immediately be reached.
Norwegian police have said that radicalization continues to occur in the country, with the main task being to collect money and transfer it to extremist organizations abroad. "Some individuals in Norway provide active support to extreme Islamist players abroad who have a local or regional agenda," Norwegian police said in a 2010 threat assessment.
"As long as the foreign players maintain their local focus, it is highly improbable that their Norwegian support networks will pose a direct threat to Norway. However, the threat from extreme Islamists in Norway may increase if their contacts abroad change their strategy to incorporate targets in Europe."
In September, Danish police arrested and charged 34-year-old Chechen man, Lors Doukaev, with detonating a bomb in a Copenhagen hotel. Danish police said they believed Mr. Doukaev had been plotting to blow up Jyllands-Posten, the Danish paper, but that something went wrong. Mr. Doukaev, who was injured in the blast, is in police custody. His lawyer couldn't immediately be reached.
While the threat in Scandinavia has increased, it is not seen as severe as some other countries. The U.K.'s foreign office, for instance, earlier this year raised its alert on Sweden to say "there is a general threat from terrorism;" previously it had advised of "an underlying threat." The U.K. currently advises of a "high threat" of terror in Germany.

Nathan Eagleton still standing the test of time
- From: Herald Sun
- September 18, 2009
WHEN Nathan Eagleton collapsed in the middle of AAMI Stadium 10 years ago there were fears for his life, let alone his football career.
In an incredible comeback story, he is one of football's great survivors.
The man nicknamed the "Bald Eagle" is one of only three players from Port Adelaide's inaugural AFL list in 1997 to still be plying his trade in the national competition.
And he is among a group of 16 men to represent the Western Bulldogs in 200 games or more. That is elite company, given the Dogs have been around since 1925.
"Yeah, they're two records I'm pretty proud of," said Eagleton as he prepared for tonight's preliminary final against St Kilda.
"I guess they mean I've stood the test of time."
Apart from Eagleton, only Power premiership skipper Warren Tredrea and Geelong premiership captain Tom Harley are still playing from the squad that John Cahill led into the AFL 13 years ago.
Fellow squad members Brendon Lade, Peter Burgoyne and Stuart Dew retired after Round 22 this year.
"It only seems like yesterday that we were all getting drafted as young boys from the SANFL. Time sure goes quick and it's good to still be ticking along because it's a pretty demanding competition," Eagleton said.
What makes Eagleton's journey all the more remarkable is that it very nearly ended at 51 games.
In the 12th minute of Port's Round 15 clash against Essendon at AAMI in 1999, the then 20-year-old Eagleton crashed to the turf on the members' wing as the ball was being bounced after a goal.
He hit the deck face-first, despite no opponent being near him. Ridiculously, a free-kick was awarded against him for falling inside the centre square. Trainers ran to his aid and stretchered him from the arena.
His heart was thumping at 280 beats a minute and within days he was diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson White syndrome.
Amazingly - after surgery to fix an irregular heartbeat that caused his dizziness and collapse - Eagleton was back playing within a month.
"As a 20-year-old, I thought, 'It's just like a hamstring injury'," he said.
"But looking back, it was a scare and a pretty big thing to get through. Having kids (boys Kyan, 4, and Lukas, 2) made me realise how big it was.
"I'm just lucky it happened on a football field where there was help around me. If it had happened while I was driving, I might not be here to tell the tale."
At the time the Power organised for Eagleton to see Swans player John Stevens, who had heart surgery as a teenager. Ironically, Stevens is now the Dogs' runner.
"The meeting was just to reassure me that I would be all right, that I could keep playing football," the wingman said.
"We had the same sort of problem, but John had open heart surgery, whereas I just had the 'keyholes' in the neck and groin, so his was a lot more risky. I was lucky that medical techniques improved.
"I haven't had any problems since the operation or needed any medication. All I've worried about is getting a kick each week."
And helping others. Eagleton has become a flag-bearer for sportspeople, particularly teenagers, with heart problems.
"I get quite a few letters and phone calls from young guys who have the (heart) condition and want to play footy or other sports," said Eagleton, now 30.
"I just try to chat to them and say that my operation was a success and to not be afraid. I guess that's one of the good things to come out of the problem, that I can help other people."

Climate Progress at two years: Thank you for the music!
"I'm nothing special, in fact I'm a bit of a bore…." Okay, my 18-month-old daughter is an ABBA fan. Go figure.
But if I am preaching to the choir, as Brewster worries, then I must say, thank you for the music, for giving it to me.
I wouldn't be blogging this much if you all weren't tuning in and writing all your comments. I wouldn't be adding new features like "Must have PPTs" if it weren't for the response. And I'm hoping to add yet another feature, podcasts, in time for my brother to do interviews at the Republican National Convention.
As for preaching to the choir, well, last month alone, the choir was over 115,000 unique visitors (triple last year at this time) reading 3.3 pages each. I do get plenty of deniers and doubters, but I have no illusions that we change their mind and since I won't put up with their posting long-debunked disinformation, I suspect most don't stick around long. We also get some undecideds.
But I've long thought that giving progressives the best information and best arguments with a vigorous debate is about all you can do in our current political climate.
That said, I lot of the media read this — which is one of the reasons I do so many media critiques.
And so do a lot of young people. They get here through Google, unexpectedly enough, mainly researching reports on polar bears. In fact, here are my most widely read posts year to date (with # of views in parens):
- Will polar bears go extinct by 2030? — Part II (78,000)
- Will polar bears go extinct by 2030? — Part I (57,000)
- More Humor: George Bush, Climate Activist (55,000)
- Global warming will spawn severe storms and tornados, reports NASA (46,000)
And those are all posts from last year!! So if you wonder why I write about polar bears so much, now you know.
My most widely read post this year is More conclusive proof of global warming (21,000). You know, it makes me smile every time I watch it. I guess that post elicits real schadenfreude, unlike the death of SUVs. So if you wonder why I do so much humor, now you know.
Other than search engines, I get the most links from Stumbleupon. I may drop the Digg button and replace it with Stumbleupon.
My Alexa ranking (which compares all websites in the world for traffic) dropped below 100,000 a couple of months ago for the first time. That ranking is very close to RealClimate and not that far from ClimateAudit. If you believe Alexa's Page View ranking (and I'm not sure I do), than other than my recent vacation, I usually get more page views, which isn't really a surprise because I blog a lot more often.
After my brother lost his home in Katrina, and I started interviewing climate experts for what turned into my book, I made a decision I would not pull any punches on global warming. If I have learned anything from the blog, it is that there is in fact a great hunger out there for the bluntest possible talk about the dire nature of our energy and climate situation, about the grave threat to our children and the next 50 generations unimaginably harsh climate impacts. And that is possibly the most reassuring thing I have learned in the past two years. Thank you all for that!
15 Responses to Climate Progress at two years: Thank you for the music!
No. Thank you.
Congrats Joe. You do an invaluable service, and maintain an impossibly high standard. Do keep up the humor and fun accompanying photos, too.
Best Climate Blog award!
While I like realclimate sometimes for the technical details, climateprogress is where I always go first–and where I learn the most. I happened on this site a couple of months ago after first reading "Cool It", then discovering Bjorn Lomborg cherry-picked his facts and was basically full of s—. I was thrilled to find a site which had a strong point of view backed up by solid science. I still am.
Congratulations and keep up the fine work! I refer interested family and friends to this site.
This tone deaf off key member of the choir thinks ClimateProgress is a great blog.
Keep it up Joe!
I was going to say something after Brewster's comment, but then I decided against it for some reason. Now that you bring it up, I will say something.
You know your traffic better than I do, so you know how much you are preaching to the choir, and how much you are directly influencing people. On the other hand, even if you are preaching to the choir, your blog is very useful. To people who aren't skeptics, you provide not just news, but reasons. I read your blog not because of your opinions, but your ability to communicate them and back them up. As someone with a math and science background, I like that you can talk with numbers.Even as a member of the choir, you have influenced my opinions. While I wouldn't make you the only one I read, you are quickly becoming my favorite.
Funny! Wasserkraft
Joe: I really appreciate it when you have some good facts and reasoned analysis. Your points about plug in hybrids are brilliant. I don't always agree but I do learn. But sometimes you move to much into pure advocacy, and I'm no looking for a cheerleader.
This blog is a wonderful resource.
Many thanks for the effort you put into it, Joe.
Many thanks for the blog – I read it daily and it is a great source of inspiration as well as information!
Happy Anniversary Joe – congratulations! You've built an amazing resource. (And I'm thrilled to make my little contributions to the effort – thank you.)
Good show!
I check out your site every day…
Keep up the great work and never, ever, pull a punch!
You're on my must read list and I make sure that sooner or later I read every post you make here or on Grist. Keep up the good work and thank you.
Many thanks for the effort you put into it, Joe.

How to create a strong thesis statement for "Happy Endings"?
1 Answer | Add Yours
In order to answer your question more effectively, I'd have to know what type of essay you are required to write. There are many different kinds: Compare/Contrast, Argumentative, Persuasive, Expository, etc. But for a generic answer I would have to go with telling you that your thesis statement should have words such as "is", "should" or "must" in it. These words are strong enough to support statement about what you really think about the topic (although remember that saying "I think" isn't usually what you need to write.)
The United States should rethink the illigal immigration issue.
The European Union must reconsider Greece's economic standing.

Barresi Moves On to Falcon
Barresi Moves On to Falcon
Posted Jan 29th, 2008 12:16 PM by
Robert Patrick
describes his first meeting about it: "I drove up to San Francisco to meet with Todd Montgomery at Falcon. I touched on ways to create a new image for the Mustang line by incorporating the best of the past. When I was a COLT model, we didn't shave the armpits, trim the pubic hair, or tweeze the eyebrows. There are many dimensions to a real man. I think a lot is lost today with all the preening. Every hair should not have to be in place. I want the models to ooze masculinity. The way he walks, talks and carries himself is all part of projecting the new image. I told Mr. Montgomery that it was my fondest wish to raise the bar by incorporating hyper-realistic fight scenes, face slapping, verbal abuse, bondage, spanking, flogging and extreme dildo action. I want to create a new line that doesn't follow trends but starts them. We agreed to shoot my first project at an auto body shop and later came up with the title,
Although making adult male videos is only one item in Barresi's hyphenated designation as "actor-model-investigative reporter-fitness trainer to the stars," he has obviously excelled at it. Warming up after his Vietnam service with unprecedented simultaneous acting careers in heterosexual adult entertainment as well as in mainstream theater, movies and TV, Barresi entered the gay part of the adult industry as a performer in 1977, performing solo and non-sexual roles.
Barresi first began writing and directing gay films in 1990 for John Summers at The Planet Group under the pseudonym "Joe Hammer." That same year, he won the
Gay Video Guide
's Best Specialty Release Award for
Razor Close.
"Since then," he says, "I've written, directed and/or produced over 200 gay adult films. Between 1994 and 1996, I shot about 16 films for Jet Set and Brickhouse Entertainment, including the multi-
Marine Code of Silence (Don't Ask Don't Tell).
The following year, Barresi won rave reviews for
magazine called "a masterpiece that ranks among the top 20 titles in gay video history." The mafia epic, produced by Jet Set and Brickhouse Entertainment, was also hailed as the best title of 1997 and selected by
as one of the top 100 best gay adult films in history.
"From there I went on to write and direct for Studio 2000, Pacific Sun Entertainment, All Worlds Video and others," Barresi says.
From 1996 to 2004 he directed several successful series including,
Frat Boys on the Loose
Bad Boys.
Dubbed by
as "undisputedly the king of military-themed videos," he is arguably most famous for the military series he directed for Regiment Productions.
About working with Falcon: "At long last I had the budget and the production assistance necessary to show my greatest potential as a director. With the limited resources I've had to work with in the past, I was unable to hire the talent I wanted. Sure, a story rich in plot, character and design heightens the production value, but without a really good-looking model, you just can't make a movie with selling power. Rest assured, the success of a project of any great magnitude is the product of many minds, hearts and hands. And a director is only as good as the team that supports him. Every production has its own unexpected challenges. Fact is, before being hired by Falcon, I was a one-man show. I was really excited about being hired by Falcon—the leading adult filmmakers in the world. I felt rewarded for all the years of hard work. Wow! I not only had one production assistant — I had three! Right then and there is when it hit me that I finally made it to the big leagues. What a great joy and tremendous privilege to find myself standing there on the set, under the lights, in the company of so many extraordinary, reliable and competent people. I was able to devote all my heart, mind and concentration to doing one thing: directing! I think the end result was nothing short of spectacular, but I'll let the film speak for itself."
Although at the time of this writing
was still in final editing phase, Falcon had already signed Barresi on for another movie, title to be announced. As for other projects, Barresi says, "I'm looking for time to make a play about my life,

Bottom-up effects of Brassica napus nutrition on the oviposition preference and larval performance of Ceutorhynchus obstrictus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

The cabbage seedpod weevil, Ceutorhynchus obstrictus (Marsham) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is a serious pest of canola, Brassica napus L. and Brassica rapa L., both in Europe and North America. Nitrogen and sulfur levels can be readily manipulated by growers and could potentially be exploited to improve current pest management strategies. In an effort to better understand the relationship between host plant nutrition and C. obstrictus oviposition preference and its larval developmental biology, we exposed gravid females to host plants grown under differing regimes of nitrogen and sulfur. Results indicated that plants grown with a higher supply of nitrogen were preferred as hosts. Plants with a higher sulfur supply were also preferred but only in plants grown at lower nitrogen levels. In contrast, larval development time increased with increasing nitrogen levels although larval dry weights were unaffected. The results were inconsistent with the preference-performance hypothesis. The inconsistencies between oviposition choice and larval growth and development may be due to a conflict between maternal and larval fitness. Observed changes in larval development time may not represent a significant fitness cost for larval C. obstrictus, as no corresponding change in larval weight was observed. Possible causal mechanisms for the increase in development time include differences in oil, protein and glucosinolate contents of the seed. Fertilizer management regimes currently recommended were considered to be optimal for management of C. obstrictus as the yield benefits from higher rates of nitrogen fertilization would more than compensate for increased level of infestation.

Hi there,
I'm attempting to install German language, but Bogo/WordPress only picks up the German language if I make it default in the wp-config file. I don't want to do this, however, as my blog is predominantly the English, and we purely want to add German as a means of translating some existing pages.
Is there some way of making this happen?
My language files are in wp-content/languages as directed, but the dropdown only specifies English (unless, as I mentioned, I make German default, then it appears).

There are many great NZ craft beers (though Mac's Gold is not really one of them...)
If you liked Budvar, why not try a Speight's Pilsner, a Mac's Wicked Blonde, a Limburg Czechmate Pilsner or an Emerson's Pilsner.
They are all widely available.

I'm fairly new to this group and decided to come out of lurk mode. Lol. My mom and I went to Goodwill today and I scored a practically brand new bread machine for $8!!! It looks like it maybe was used 3 or 4 times. GREAT condition. I had been wanting one, but it wasn't in my budget. I usually try to make my bread by hand, but this will be awesome. SO excited. Even came with (in addition to all original paperwork and instructions) a Gold Medal Flour bread machine cookbook! Yay! Can't wait to try it out!
Scored a bargain!

The Summer House Cookbook
The Summer House Cookbook
Easy Recipes for When You Have Better Things to Do with Your Time
Clarkson Potter, Hardcover, 9780609608227, 192pp.
Publication Date: May 20, 2003
Whether your summer house is a beachside bungalow, a lakeside cottage, or a year-round retreat, cooking for family and friends while on vacation can be a delight—if you know how to keep it simple. The Summer House Cookbook has all of the tips, tricks, and recipes guaranteed to make summertime cooking a breeze.
Rather than stocking a vacation home with a full array of spices, whip up a couple "make-to-take" infused oils, marinades, and spice blends to bring along—they'll give instant, effortless flavor to meats and fish. Save time in the kitchen by cleverly dressing up leftovers—turn extra roast chicken into Tarragon Tree Chicken Salad, and grilled flank steak into a great sandwich with some Balsamic-Marinated Red Onions. From crowd-pleasing recipes such as Picnic Basket Fried Chicken, Memorial Day Coleslaw, and Bar Harbor Lobster Cakes to sophisticated offerings like Charred Pesto Shrimp and Grilled Lamb Chops with Olive Butter, these dishes require nothing more than the basic equipment available in even a bare-bones kitchen.
The Summer House Cookbook is filled with great ways to enjoy the pleasures of the season. Share a big pitcher of margaritas and a bowl of Best-Ever Guacamole with friends, or celebrate summer produce with Fourth of July Strawberry Shortcakes and Perfect Peach Pie.
Filled with evocative photographs and the stove-side advice of two friends who love to cook together, The Summer House Cookbook is all you need to create delicious food in any kitchen.

17 reviews | 4.6 out of 5
Here is what I don't understand about some of these reviews: They reference the creators as Microsoft and Bunjie. If you know anything about Halo other than the name, or if you just look at the picture, you would know that Bunjie is not involved with Halo 4. The statement that there would not be another Halo after Reach is true, from Bunjie's standpoint. However, Microsoft has partnered with 343 Industries to create at least the next 3 games in the Halo series. This new trilogy of games will probably have the same generic gameplay as previous Halo games (same as any first person shooter), but it is going to start a new story line with new enemies. I for one am an avid Halo fan and cannot wait for the release of Halo 4 and will more than likely get the Legendary edition if they have one.
I know that this isn't a helpful review, but I thought I would try to give the game an overall better review because the other guy dosen't know what he's talking about, and its not fair for the game to have such a bad rating because of him.
It's Halo... It's bound to be good. I don't know what the other reviewer was talking about, because neither Bungie nor Microsoft announced that there wouldn't be another Halo game after Halo: Reach. BUNGIE announced that THEY would not be making another Halo game, but said that the franchise would be handed over to Microsoft to continue the series if they pleased (which they are with Halo 4 and the Anniversary edition of Combat Evolved).
Halo 4 will undoubtedly be a great game, that much is certain. However the Halo franchise is beginning to fall into the same trap that Call of Duty has now died in... Consumers will only buy the same game so many times. Do some research and you will find that originally, one of the key directors of Halo: Reach was supposed to also be Key in creating Halo 4. A Bungie employee. He has now quit the development team because while he wanted to try and add something new to the game, Microsoft has chosen to just stick with making very minor changes. So in Summary, Halo 4 will be good, but mostly the same... the equivlent of a $60 map pack, Halo 5 will probably have better graphics, but identical gameplay, and as will 6. The place where Halo wins over a franchise like CoD is backstory. Microsoft/Bungie didn't have an entire series of books written for no reason, any avid reader knows that Halo has one of the deepest plot lines of most video games and they will have no problem creating new, interesting campaigns, however i fear the multiplayer and general gameplay will remain rigid for the rest of the franchise's existance
Can't wait for this game to come out. Im anticipating it to the best but since its not made by bungie who knows
I totaly agree on this!
(Can't wait for this game to come out. Im anticipating it to the best but since its not made by bungie who knows)
I expect Halo 4 to be a great game from just expecience from playing all the previous ones, BUT you can not write a proper review of the game untill you have played the game. An its not even out yet so I dont get why people are saying it sucks if they havent played it yet or even seen what its going to be over. For those you just like to blow stuff up and play with friends any halo game is a good game to have just to play every now and again. I do play alot of video games so i dont want to see people posting stuff like i am not a true gamer on this post. If you like realist games go for a game like BattleField 3 or a Tom Clancy game he almost always has a good realist style game for the damage a bullet does to the body in his games. The Call of Duty series is good if you want to go for how realistic the guns look. The best game out there is one you actually can enjoy with out beating up your controler or something else cause of a hard level or a part you cant pass, but hey pick what you like to play and dont hate a game just because you think its stupid or you say it is just cause your friends say it is.
No disrespect to anyone, but whomever wrote the description for the game didn't do that grate of a job. It honestly didn't grab me like others have. Anyway, I believe that if this game is anything like the others have been, it'll be a great title for any Halo fan or fan of FPS games in general. I personally would love a Halo title that had a customize-able Armor system for Master Chief, like the one in Halo: Reach. Now, I heard this title was the 7th game but it's not. Not if you count Halo: Anniversary Edition. That would make it number 8: 1. Halo: Combat Evolved, and evolve it did!
2. Halo 2
3. Halo 3
4. Halo Wars
5. Halo: ODST
6. Halo: Reach
7. Halo: Anniversary Edition
8. Halo 4. Someone else may correct me if I am wrong but still, the fact that the saga continues is very, VERY cool to me. I love old Spartan 117! I loved the dual weapon system that was added in Halo 2 and the ability to rip off and then carry Covenant gun emplacements in Halo 3 and in Reach. My only real gripe with 2 and 3 was that they were a bit too short, I mean I beat Halo 2 inside 1 week! I was like COME ON! I hope this was or is addressed in the new games.
Halo is a great series, and Bungie, creaters of Halo, are smart enough not to make another halo unless it was good. They are very loyal to their fans and this game shouldn't get a bad rating on someone who hasn't played it yet, because they are expecting it to be bad.
Excellent franchise. Game is interesting and pack a lot of action, is the dream action game for first person shooter gamers.
Will buy it as soon as it hit the store.
Halo has been a wonderful game since the start of it all. I pre-ordered Halo Anniversary and already completed the campaign. It was a blast to play and I can't wait for Halo 4 to be released. :)
This is going to be yet another great addition to the already great saga that is HALO.
This is the best game that has ever come out since Halo Combat Evolved!! *comment was add in the future*
Its awesome.Oh,and its 343 not313
When you follow most of the Halo games and they announce that this will be their final game like the did with Halo Reach. You would think that they learned to stop on the best game instead of trying to make another Halo. What happens now this took place way before Halo Reach or Halo three events. Bungiee just needs to do something new like Naughty Dog.

After meeting up at the airport yesterday, Group 8 took off on an adventure of a lifetime. This afternoon, after they landed in Prague, they met their Israeli staff and took a short tour of the city. Then they headed to the hotel for orientation, dinner and a fun program. They are looking forward to the rest of the summer!

Re: Antonio Cervantes 'Went in the Tank versus Wilfred Benetiz'
I dont care what klompton said. I dont buy that Benitez couldnt make weight or that Cervantes threw the fight.
Exactly, Benitez was a kid at the time. I wrestled in High School at the same age as Benitez was here and I can tell you its a heck of a lot easier to take of 5 or 10 pounds at that age than it is in your late twenties. I knew kids who routinely cut weigh from the 120s to wrestle at 103.
Besides, the fights you mention were fought at catch weights, meaning Benitez could come in at what was comfortable to him. They were designed as such.
When he had to make weight he could. Three and a half years later with only a couple of weeks training he weighed 144 against Leonard.
How can anyone even take Pepe seriously after hes been caught fabricating his stories several times now?
If you are going to continue to post all of these conspiracy theories show us some cold hard facts or just admit its all supposition on your part, not that you have to since you continually get proven out before long.

Released: Nov 01st, 1996
Running Time: 72
Directors: Greg Steel, Brad Armstrong
Company: Wave Video
Cast: Lovette, Tony Tedeschi, Mark Davis, Yvonne (I), Peter North, Brad Armstrong, Caressa Savage, Jill Kelly, Rebecca Lord
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Feature
Rebecca Lord narrates this story of an ancient Mayan mask that brings anyone who wears it to a bad ened. In compensation, though, wearers get some great sex before they meet their fate. A professor, played by Mark Davis, unearths the mask, puts it on, and is rewarded with Lovette, a virgin (!) who gets a three-hole deflowering before he suffers heart failure. Tony Tedeschi and Lord then enjoy a simple bedroom scene in a burning house. Jill Kelly and Caressa Savage provide viewers wondering what the European cut of this scene must look like. Finally, Peter North, as a collector, takes delivery of the mask from Lord; it's the last acquisition he ever makes. A slick box cover, good story, fine fucking, and the inclusion of a few minutes of behind-the-scenes footage makes this a highly-stockable item.need
