Hanglar Card and Tag
This card is for:-
1. Creative Inspirations - challenge # 22 - sketch
2. Stampin' For The Weekend - challenge 27 - Red, Green and Gold
3. Stamp Something - Glitzy Somethings
4. Rosie-Dee's - challenge 59 - Red, Green and a bit of Bling
5. Creative Inspiration Wednesdays - challenge 37 - Christmas card and Tag set
I did some more gold embossing on this card around the stamped image and my ticket. It's lovely for Christmas cards, and works so well with vintage.
Creative Inspirations have a fab sketch but in the centre for the image it is a circle but I swapped it for a rectangle, as my image didn't look right in a circle.
Stampin' For The Weekend have a colour combo of Red, Green and Gold, just right for Christmas cards, nice and traditional.
Stamp Something requested us to use something Glitzy, on my card I have glitters on the candle flame, around the fur on his hat. There's also gems and gold embossing.
Rosie-Dee's, this is my first time joining in their challenges and they want a colour combo of Red, Green and a bit of Bling, my card has all of these.
Creative Inspirations wednesdays have the theme of a Christmas card and tag set, so they would match I used the same papers, card and colours on the tag. I also did the gold embossing on the To/From part for the matching of the card.

text: My husband Bill and I recently spent a week at an adult-only resort in the Caribbean. There were lots of single men there and I became friendly with a handsome black stud named Ron. One night Bill and I decided we would have some fun with him. We met him near the pool bar and I started kissing him while Bill watched from a ways away. Things heated up quickly. He asked me if we could go somewhere private. As I glanced down at his crotch, I could tell he really needed relief, and decided to go through with this crazy scheme. We were standing in a corner and nobody was paying attention, so I let my hand cup his hardness. He was definitely better hung than Bill, he was longer and thicker. Ron let out a disappointed groan as I pulled my hand from his hard cock. "You are driving me crazy, I'm going to have to go into the bathroom and stroke myself off". I dropped my hand to his bulge again and squeezed the head. I said "Lets see if we can't go out away from the house so we can take care of this growth in your pants." I looked around for Bill as Ron and I slowly worked our way toward the beach. From there we were alone as we snuck out into the wooded area at the side of the resort. Once we got deep into the woods, Ron pinned me up against a large tree as we kissed deeply, all the time his hard cock was pushing against me. I was on fire as I reached down and unzipped him. His hand went under my skirt and his fingers slid into me. His cock was so hard and big, that I could not maneuver it out through his zipper. I had to unbuckle his pants. I broke our embrace and dropped to my knees in front of him. As I dropped his shorts down, I moaned as his beautiful black cock sprang out towards my face. His cock was at least 3 inches longer than Bill's 6 incher and about a third thicker. I moaned as I wrapped my hand around the shaft not being able to close my fingers due to its thickness. Ron's hands went to my shoulders as I leaned forward and licked a glistening drop of pre-cum from the tip. I began giving him a much needed blow job. I was looking forward to having his cock empty into my mouth, since he must have a terrific amount stored up. As I sucked, I caught a movement out of the corner of my eye. I moved around on my knees, and moved Ron with me, so I could see better. There, only 10 feet from us, stood my husband behind a tree and he was watching us. Most of his body was behind the tree, but I could tell by the jerk body motions that he was jerking off as he watched. That excited me terribly. Here I was, cheating on my husband for the first time, but doing it in his full view as he jerked off! As I continued sucking Ron, my hand crept to my slit and caused a delicious cum, as soon as my finger came in contact with my clit. Ron was close also, as he pulled my head from his cock, and said "You better stop, I can't take too much more, please let me fuck you." I squeezed his cock shaft as I looked up and said "I want you to shoot into my mouth first, then we'll fuck." Ron let out a gasp as my lips took him in once more. And only seconds later I felt him stiffen and his body shook, as hot spurt after spurt of his cum shot into my mouth. I rubbed his balls as he unloaded what must have been at least two shot glasses full of cum for me to drink. I use the shot glass comparison because Bill and I tried it once. When he is really excited, he can shoot almost a shot glass full of cum. As Ron's orgasm subsided, I continued to nurse his shaft. To my delight, it didn't even attempt to soften, but seemed to get even harder. Ron pulled me up and we kissed. I was careful to keep his back to Bill. Then Ron dropped to his knees in front of me as he lifted my skirt. Oh no, I thought, he was going to eat me and my pussy was still full of Bill's cum from our fuck on the basement steps. I tried to pull Ron up and told him no, let's fuck. But he was already sliding his tongue into my pussy hair. Once he contacted my lips and clit, it was too late. I lifted a leg over his shoulder to give him full access, as I felt my orgasm building. Ron was a good pussy eater and in no time had me on the brink. What also helped was me watching Bill pump his hard cock, fully in my view now, since Ron's back was to him. He had stepped out from behind his hiding place, allowing him full view of this fist fuck. I grabbed Ron's head for support and leaned against the tree, as I had one of the best orgasms of my life. Once recovered, I leaned against the tree and lifted my leg, as Ron slid his hard cock deep into my pussy. I came as he was entering me, and had a series of small orgasms that seemed to all tied together. I was watching Bill jerk off over Ron's shoulder as he drove his meat into my spasming cunt. As Ron stiffened and groaned that he was going to cum, I began to cum, as I looked at Bill's cock, spurt after spurt was shooting from his fist enclosed cock and dropping on the leaves on the ground. Ron emptied his load into me as I wildly pumped myself against him. I was cumming like crazy. I couldn't believe that after drinking him down first, that a guy could still have that much sperm left. But Ron shot at least as much if not more into me. It was the most erotic scene I had ever had in my life. The thought of my husband watching me getting fucked, was such a turn on. And then to see him shoot while watch- ing, is indescribable. Ron and I straightened out our clothing and went back to the pool. Bill was waiting for me once we got there and we soon left to go to our room. But I didn't make it back without cumming. Bill only walked a few yards before he pulled over to a darkened part of the resort grounds. He pulled up my skirt and dove his head between my legs. Despite my protest and telling him I should wash first, he wildly sucked Ron's cum from my pussy and drove me to cum three more times before he came up for air. I saw that his cock was hard, and I also saw a huge wet spot on his pants. I unzipped him and took out his cock. The head and shaft were covered with cum. He had shot in his pants while eating me. I took him into my mouth and cleaned him up and then received another load to drink before we went home. After showering, we wildly made love again, re- counting the evenings events. Since then we have devised all sorts of ways to have me entice other guys into having sex with me while Bill watches.

Unanswered: question about query speed
Say I need to store information about the types of planes a user has. for each plane, I need to store 6 different numbers (average crew size, fuel used per flight, etc). There may be hundreds of customers, with perhaps no more than 5 to 10 plane types each.
which would be faster to query-joining a 3 column table (plane_ID, varName,varValue) with X rows per customer, or a 7 column table (plane_ID, aveCrewSize,...) with 1 row per customer?
Thanks all!
I've heard that disk-seek per row is the biggest bottleneck, but on small test tables the first was faster than the second, even after the queries were cached

is it dangerous because it's slow/ sloppy design?
Here's the main reason why I'm still asking:
Part of what I'm doing is turning an Excel spreadsheet model into a database for an online application, and the spreadsheet is practically complex enough to be sold as a product on its own. As such, there's a lot of table-within-a-table stuff that's making me want to just put a bajillion tables in the database and use JOINs everywhere (which I understand is also bad for overhead). Would it be better to have a single table of constants or is removing constants not really a beneficial normalization? I'm stuck in MyISAM b/c this is on a shared host, so I don't really have the benefit of foreign keys or such things.
PS- I saw the Entity-Attribute-Value initially when reading a book on designing a site using the Zend Framework for PHP- I guess books aren't all that reliable after all

Can a user have more than 1 plane?
Then use 2 tables
table1 = (userid,planeid)
table2 = (planeid, 7columns)

Adrian Hardiman: A friend untainted by eminence
Ronan Fanning
I first met Adrian Hardiman in 1969, shortly after I had begun lecturing in UCD's history department. I did not then realise that it was a case of the best wine coming first: never again in four decades of teaching did I encounter such a remarkable student.
His intellectual ability was beyond doubt and went hand-in-hand with an open mind and an omnivorous appetite for knowledge. Already widely read for one so young, he was armed with an intelligence that was as original as it was muscular. The fearlessness, latterly regarded as characteristic of his Supreme Court judgments, was already apparent, and the fluency both of his essays and of his subsequent discussion in tutorials made him a joy to teach.
He soon made his mark in the wider university world, becoming auditor of the L&H, UCD's premier debating society, as well as president of the student representative council, an office then traditionally entitling the holder to a seat as a government nominee on the university's governing body. Convention decreed that the outgoing president of the SRC resign to create a vacancy for his successor. But Adrian Hardiman's outspoken opinions had already made him a divisive figure, and his predecessor denied him his place on the governing body by refusing to resign.

If you're still a kid at heart, you'll jump at the chance of having a night out in your PJs.
Three very special Valentines nights, suitable for both those looking for love, and those fortunate enough to have already found it. We have secured several fabulously generous sponsors for these nights, including Purely Roses, Thomas Pink, SommelierCellar, Artisan du Chocolat and cult lingerie brand, What Katie Did, so expect presents and prizes as well as some remarkable performances from Cat Weatherill, Vergine Gulbenkian and Daniel Marcus Clark.
'Bedtime Story Nights' have been running on a monthly basis at 40 Winks since June 2009, and have had recommendations and rave reviews in The Evening Standard, The Independent, The Telegraph, The Saturday Times, The Guardian, The Wall Street Journal, Stylist, Tatler, Marie Claire, Harper's Bazaar, Time Out, Le Cool and too many other publications to mention…. They have even been included in the Sunday Times Travel Magazine list of the 14 most amazing things to do in the world!!
If you haven't been before, we really want to know why… because they are quite simply brilliant and extraordinary. And if you have, then you don't need us to tell you that tickets are rarer than a mermaid whistling Rule Britannia on a hot summer's day, and early booking is absolutely essential.
Our story nights are a totally unique experience in London, bursting with genuine charm, warmth and humour. We work with a fantastic team of professional storytellers, actors and musicians assembled by our Curator of Ever More Curious Tales, Miss Rachel Rose Reid, and the very charming Mr Carter. Our latest programme has been fiendishly devised to have you squealing with delight for months to come, so do please come and join us soon.
A very strict dresscode of pyjamas and nighties is rigorously enforced, so do bring something deliciously inappropriate along to wear otherwise you may be compelled by Mr Carter to stand outside in the cold. Benefit Cosmetics generously sponsor our 'Most Glamorous Nightie Award', and the prize is worth a staggering £300, so it is well worth making an effort to impress and seduce. We would suggest bringing along a small cushion, a teddy bear and anything else that makes you feel warm and cosy. We do set aside a couple of rooms for boys and girls to change in, so if you don't fancy the idea of transporting yourselves here already dressed in your boudoir attire, we will provide a space where you can do this without making a spectacle of yourself.

Scott Jagow: There is one area of the employment picture that's not so bright. A new report says state governments are really short on cash at the moment. Marketplace's Janet Babin reports from North Carolina Public Radio.
Janet Babin: The report from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities found that 25 states face budget shortfalls totaling about $40 billion. Revenues from sales and corporate taxes have slowed with the cool economy, and expenses are on the rise. But unlike the slowdown in 2001 and 2002, the Center's Iris Lav says, the housing crisis has also taken a toll this time.
Iris Lav: States that have the highest number of foreclosures are the states that are in the worst fiscal trouble. For the states that are particularly hard hit, this could be very prolonged.
The state budget freefall is relatively broad based. But with oil, food and commodity prices scaling new heights, states with energy and food resources are holding their own. Texas, Alaska, Iowa and Kansas are some of the standouts. Some states that are hurting have enacted hiring freezes to help balance the books.
I'm Janet Babin for Marketplace.

The Newcastle-based company said that like-for-like sales fell by 2.7pc in the 52 weeks to December 29, 2012, sending pre-tax profits down from £60.4m to £53.3m.
The decline in like-for-like sales has accelerated since the turn of the year to 4pc, with sales in January down by 5.7pc as snow fell across the UK.
Greggs, which has 1,671 shops, relies on footfall in the high street to drive sales and is under pressure from cautious consumer spending.
Roger Whiteside, the former boss of Punch Taverns who took over from Ken McMeikan as chief executive last month, said the company plans to "reshape" its investment this year.
The amount of new store openings will halve compared to 2012 to 50, but refurbishments will double to 250 as Greggs rolls out its "food on the go" and "bakery" formats.
Mr Whiteside said Greggs also plans to spend more on promotions after the success of its meal deal offers. The company's breakfast deal of a bacon or sausage roll with a hot drink for £2 was Greggs' most popular product in 2012, with seven million sold.
However, despite the slowdown of new store openings, Mr Whiteside said he plans to press-ahead with the strategy laid out by his predecessor, which includes selling frozen Greggs products in Iceland.
"My impact will be on pace of delivery and the detail," Mr Whiteside, who has served as a non-executive director at Greggs for the last five years, said.
Shares in the company fell 32.20, or 6pc, to 491.30p following the results.
Greggs will pay a final dividend of 13.5p, the same as last year, on May 24.

Lars Gustavsson is the Creative Director at DICE preparing to unleash Battlefield 3 on the world. He kindly took time out to let RadioactiveIT know a little more about one of the biggest game releases of 2011.
Since the last singularly numbered Battlefield game (Battlefield 2 on the PC) a lot has changed in the world of video games, specifically military shooters where the Battlefield series finds itself in a crowded market place. Along with the obvious competitors of the Call Of Duty franchise and Electronic Arts own rebooted Medal of Honor games
"Battlefield has always had its own unique game-play," says Gustavsson "and to honest that has been the case for a long time. There are plenty of shooters out there, Battlefield 3 really sticks with a lot of things that the competition can't match, it's everything from our destruction to our huge landscapes with the all-out war, vehicles, our new social hub, battle log , but also overall a really great engine called Frostbite 2 which allows us to really push the boundaries on consoles, that to be honest getting a bit old, to stay in the forefront and provide gamers with a really good experience"
This Battlefield is being refined, bringing back air combat, but losing the Commander Mode, amongst other changes with this eleventh iteration of the franchise: "We have been listening to the community and our own experience with Battlefield 2 " says Gustavsson " We have also gained a lot of experience through the years making games like Bad Company and Mirror's Edge , it's a mixture of all that experience that goes into [this title]."
"For example, the Commander Mode could work great in certain matches while if you had a commander that didn't care, then they whole team was blocked, this time around we shared the different tools that the commander has to the soldiers on the battlefield instead, so you get a much more dynamic battlefield less dependent on one person."
The essence of a Battlefield is this multiplayer game-play, it is interesting that the team from DICE quote the influence of a game sporting such an iconic single player element as Mirror's Edge; "Yeah so many take aways from, probably one of the best branded, art direction, style and tone [games] that we ever done, with Mirror's Edge, the movement, the physical connection to the in-game world is probably one of the best we have ever done. Now we have transferred that, now you are connected to the world, you vault over everything, you don't just jump with ridged legs, there is a lot of learning that goes back to this game
The Bad Company offshoot along with more recent titles such as Battlefield Heroes was more of a tongue-in-cheek approach to the franchise, but certainly the impression with this release is that DICE is aiming for a more grounded Battlefield experience: "This is a more serious style and tone, " agrees Gustavsson " foremost we wanted to relay a really good story in single player, a more mature story. Carrying on the tradition from Battlefield 2 which was themed more realistic and that has been a slant to everything in this game, from art style to choice of weapons, accessories, so that it feels very authentic."
Gustavsson is loathed to give away too much about the single player story, and so only covers much of what fans already know. The main action takes place near Iran when a major earthquake hits the region destabilising the geography as well as the political cohesion. You will be on "adventures around the world" however.
According to Gustavsson the single player will be a varied experience; "you will get to try out a lot of the classical Battlefield game-play neatly wrapped into the story layer."
Gustavsson acknowledges that injecting story into their games has been a challenge that again the team from DICE has drawn on experience to hopefully improve with this release.
Multiplayer is another story however, this is something DICE are very used to producing, one of our favourite Battlefield games was Battlefield 2142; "BF3 will ship with the Conquest, Rush, Squad Rush, Team Deathmatch, and Squad Deathmatch, so there is nothing really like what we had in Battlefield 2142, but I think we have really given a very nice range from the smallest Team Deathmatch close combat with no vehicles, lots of destruction, up to the all out war with full conquest maps with jets and everything."
"We have specialisation on your soldier that you can start unlocking, extra armour or weapons, it is the deepest persistence we have ever had in a Battlefield game to the point where we scratch our heads and wonder what we have started. It makes your experience highly customisable, everything from your dog-tags, your specialisations, your camo, your weapons, and your vehicles even."
Battlefield 3 is due out late October on Windows, PS3, Xbox 360 as well as a version for iOS devices.

One founder offers her perspective on bootstrapping and explains why dealing with the cons may be worth the pros.
By Victoria Oldridge (Founder, MoxTree)
The past year has been a whirlwind! We went live with MoxTree's beta phase last year and realized the aspects we would like to modify very quickly.
It was obvious, after the first few weeks of beta, that we wanted to change the onboarding process, the general UX/UI feel, and implement some more 'pop-up' reminders. In addition, we wanted to set ourselves up with a whole new framework so that we could also project and position ourselves for additional features.
Moms, as a demographic, are busy, they are constantly multitasking. This made it clear that we needed a mobile version sooner than later as well. We're bootstrapping (by choice) at this juncture (though that may change in the near future) and although there are positive elements to bootstrapping (believe it or not), the downside is apparent; time.
Iterations, modifications and new features take longer to implement and it's easy to become impatient. The other reality of bootstrapping is that you don't have a team of designers/developers feet away from you, who are easily accessible and ready to start building. This has resulted in one of our most challenging obstacles -- ensuring we are always on the same page with designers, their expectations, our expectations, timelines, various coding (front end and back) skill levels, etc.
But bootstrapping isn't all terrible. Despite the longer time frames and frustrations that accompany it, you learn to become really resourceful, really fast. You start to realize that some of the challenges of bootstrapping are part of the ride. You begin to dig down deep and become more creative and hone your negotiating skills. Essentially you end up wearing all of your 'hats' (marketer, developer, sales, entrepreneur, technical) simultaneously and learn how to swap hats in a moment's time.
We may have spent the last year on a roller coaster ride of a lifetime, noticed a few more gray hairs (well, my husband has, anyway!), and at times, felt like we were caught in the middle of a spin-dry cycle. But we're not only here, we're growing, innovating and influencing, listening, and learning. Our value has been augmented on multiple levels. We did indeed overhaul our UX/UI, onboarding, and we are mobile! We're already starting to design future features...but not after we take a short breather to absorb and celebrate this milestone first.
Would you recommend Bootstrapping? Why or why not?
About the guest blogger: Victoria Oldridge noticed a gaping hole in the ways in which moms were coming together--based on one variable, a child. It didn't seem like enough to form a sustainable network and after consulting with other moms, an overwhelming volume agreed. in 2012, her third child, 'MoxTree', was born into beta phase.

St. James School is an environment where faith, family, and educational excellence reinforce one another throughout the school day. SJS exists to provide a learning environment that fosters academic excellence while guiding our children's developing relationship with God in accordance with the teachings of our Catholic faith.
Our teachers and staff are sensitive to the educational and individual needs of each student. We know a child's sense of self-esteem must be nurtured so each child feels worthwhile and confident. Only then can a child be challenged to grow and perform to the maximum of his or her potential. Because we work within the structure of a Catholic community, we add an important dimension to our students' outlook. We strive to develop within each one of them concern and compassion for the world they share, and the competence they need to fully manage responsibility in this ever changing fast paced society.
Why St. James School?
There is a feeling at St. James School that one cannot express in words. While the school building is always being updated with the newest technology and ideas, it is the people present – children, parents, faculty, and staff – that are the draw. Enthusiasm, helpfulness, joy, competence, and a fullness of faith are some of the qualities you notice in everyday interactions.
What we teach, and how we teach matters; who is teaching often times is the tipping point toward success. Teaching is so much broader than just transmitting knowledge and skills. Because of this belief, children are treasured and thrive at St. James School.
Our graduates reflect this. They excel scholastically, have a strong work ethic, and are sought after both academically and professionally for their leadership skills. They involve themselves in their communities, thank God for His goodness, and know how to shake hands and look someone in the eye from years of greeting me, our Parish Priests, our administrators, and staff each day. The opportunity to witness this transformation from innocence to virtue and excellence makes St. James School extraordinary.
About Us
St. James School is dedicated to partnering with parents in modeling Christ for our children. We strive to provide a foundation from which students recognize and develop
- Their personal relationship with God
- An academic culture of meaningful and lifelong learning
- Tools to shape beliefs, morals, and practices driven by Gospel values
We are called to walk in faith, live in hope, and act in love.
FAITH St. James School strives to provide a foundation of faith and awareness that Christ is always present. The school families are united in prayer, worship, and service with all parish ministries, to be on fire with Jesus, and carry His teachings within as well as far beyond the walls of our parish community.
EXCELLENCE St. James School strives to unlock a child's gifts and talents within a rigorous curriculum directed toward teaching the whole child. The school seeks to foster each child's capacity for success, developing skills and competencies needed for the 21st Century. A safe and nurturing environment allows for the development of the attributes of curiosity, independence, collaboration, and articulate communication.
LEADERSHIP St. James School strives to empower students to develop their moral compass in accordance with the Gospel teachings. Students are trained to demonstrate confidence, courage, and perseverance in the face of societal pressures. With their families, St. James School seeks to grow independent thinkers who are proud to be the face of Jesus to the world.
SERVICE St. James School strives for students to grow in their awareness of the larger world and the need to develop a service mentality in order to bring Christ to others. Our goal is to inspire the intrinsic desire possessed by all students and promote faith in action.
Graduates of SJS acquire Catholic moral and spiritual values that enable them to live responsibly, are empowered with the necessary academic skills, enabling them to contribute to their community and further their own education, develop the personal resources to cope with and respond to the complexities of modern society in a Catholic manner, and develop a positive image of themselves and their various roles in society.

Buying furniture online can give you various options of inexpensive furniture to choose from at your fingertips. However, there are challenges when it comes to buying important furniture online. Sometimes, it can get pretty difficult to return most that don't meet your expectations. There are very incredible online furniture deals you can get and save some extra money, but you need to be aware of certain things before making a large purchase.
The moment you learn to be a smart online shopper, you can easily take advantage of the fantastic furniture prices online. Buying furniture online is a great strategy that gives you a wide array of options and saves you thousands of dollars in the long run. Here are some tips on how to shop for furniture online in an easy and successful way:
The best way to buy furniture online is through reading the product reviews on various furniture options available. Product reviews will give you a sense of the quality of the product before you make a purchase. You get to hear first-hand from previous buyers and their experience with the product. If there are no reviews of certain pieces of furniture, Google it and see if there are reviews on other sites. You can also read reviews of similar products from the same brand to get the type of furniture certain company sells. Don't buy if you can't get any review.
It is usually hard to tell the quality of materials used to make certain pieces hen buying online. However, this does not mean going ahead and buying without consulting. Rarely can you look at a piece of furniture and tell if the quality is poor or good. However, you can make a visit to the local store and check similar pieces. Furniture pieces in stores cost more, but there is no harm at looking. This will give you an idea of the type of quality you expect. When you zoom in on the fabric, you stand a better chance of seeing the texture and pattern of the material.
When it comes to colour, you have to read the instructions on the product description. Don't just rely on the pictures as colours can be depicted differently depending on exposure and lighting. Dark brown can be confused with black when you look at blurred pictures. You might end up getting stuck with a black table or chair while you wanted a dark brown table or chair.
Size is similar to the colour, and one must read the instructions on the description and not rely on what they see. Grasping the size of a chair or table from a picture is not an easy task. Make sure you take measurements of the space you need to be filled with furniture before making an order.
Furniture bought online does not always arrive ready to use. Most will require you to assemble the pieces before they can be used. The reviews you read above will give you an idea if the piece you want to buy will be one you can easily assemble. Do you have the patience and skills required to assemble complicated furniture?
You must take into account the cost of shipping and if it is inclusive with the price or not. What type of shipping do they offer? There are curbside shipping and door-to-door shipping which I think is the best especially if you live in an apartment. Also remember to read the return policy to see if you have to pay to return something.

The 20th Screen Actors Guild awards were a blaze of big fancy frocks, Emma Thompson photobombs, and Brad Pitt's hair.
The dad/actor/philanthropist/hunk debuted a daring slick back mini-mohawk style 'do, complete with closely shaved sides.
We wonder if Ange had a say?
From a peroxide blonde bouffant to a shoulder-skimming blonde mop and well-groomed painter's brush moustache, the 50-year-old has gone through his fair share of questionable styles.
But we think this latest cool crop is definitely a keeper.
If you don't believe us or just can't remember, take a look at the gallery of his styles from over the years.

Configuring cgi-bin
I am having a bit of a play with Apache and I want to setup my cgi-bin directory to run scripts
The server is working fine but I cannot execute scripts. I receive the following error in my log file
malformed header from script Bad Header = Hello World :hello.pl
perl hello.pl it works fine.
#!/usr/bin/perl print "Hello World\n";
Do I need to set the owner/group to the Apache user?
Here is some of my config options:
Default Directory
<directory> Options FollowSymLinks ExecCGI Allow Override None </directory>
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/"
<directory "/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride None Options ExecCGI Order allow,deny Allow from All </directory>
My directory and scripts are set to 777 for testing.I am on a journey to mastering Linux and I got a bloody long way to go!!!

It is because you are not sending an http header from the script. I suggest using the CGI perl module which will make it very simple to write cgi scripts. You can get the module at www.cpan.org or using perl -MCPAN -e shell.

Max M4X WW
Oct 27, 2013
And I'm happy! I'll call it 170PS and 280lb/ft
Good numbers dude
Did you remap it yourself? how is your map, any smoke or diesel smell etc?? Btw good numbers! Im assuming your engine is AWX?
The previous owner did it, its a http://www.blacksmoke.co.uk map.
ASZ Engine
Some smoke, but nothing crazy. The back of the car doesn't get sooted like my old 306 HDi did and it has the milltek 'pointy out' tailpipes. It does still have the cat at the moment though, my 306 didn't. You can see the curves are nice and smooth!
Thats what I was thinking as it does look good. I have an AWX and want to map it but thinking about getting a bigger turbo first currently stock at 130hp and I'm aiming near 200hp.
OK, so your engine is the slightly lower torque one with the 5 speed box.
I'm sure you know, but if you have deep enough pockets Darkside will get anything you want from the engine.
I personally wont go as far as that, unless (touch wood) the turbo goes pop. Black Smoke do have a higher power map which should give me an extra 15bhp and 15lb/ft which I may look into once I have the Milltek downpipe and possibly Darkside's uprated SMIC.
Just had a read online on TDI Club it seems that its not "safe" to run 200hp with stock injectors. So I guess there isnt any point in getting a bigger turbo now as I wont be changing injectors... I would say the max realistically I can push out of the engine without changing turbo or injectors would maybe be around the 185hp mark and for a daily driver that's more than my cup of tea.
Just struggling on finding who to go to for a map as I would want it Dynoe'd there and then I also looked at TDI-Tuning where they have these little tuning boxes however I'm still not too keen on the "plug and play" stuff as reviews online are way too short term in order to make a decision on them.
Is changing injectors not easier/cheaper than changing the turbo? I'm assuming you have thought about Clutch and Flywheel?
Why not try a Black Smoke map? Where are you located?
Clutch and flywheel is ok to about 400nm and also the clutch/flywheel problem seems to only be with people who boot it from low revs and the torque ruins the clutch etc I dont drive like that anyway if I ever boot it its usually when Ive got some boost at disposal around 2500rpm. Im from the East London area.
Have you had a re-mapped diesel before? I think you will be more than happy with a map like mine. Were you classing that as 'plug and play'? Have you done EGR delete and de-cat yet?
No never had a remapped Diesel, but Ive remapped non turbo petrol cars. And no lol I wasnt saying your one is plug n play as your one is still a map as its programmed and not messing about with the ECU to change values etc. EGR Delete is on my list as I just cleaned my intake manifold out using a blow torch as it was pretty caked. I was thinking of getting a decat but just thinking if the car would fail emmissions when MOT time comes Ive seen people do DPF etc delete before and their cars run so much better.
The De-Cat wont affect our cars at all, the newer DPF's etc maybe but I think they are even OK to be honest!
It's just a thought, once you go much past a remap it can get expensive. I think mine as it is at the moment is more than enough for day to day driving. I'm used to doing 30k miles a year in an Octavia 1.6 105 so it feels pretty good compared!
Have you got a decat on your car? and is it worth doing in your opinion what sort of difference has your car made? And ive been thinking I might need to do a few things before I take the car to be mapped such as EGR delete, decat maybe if its worthwhile etc
Not yet no, It's in my signature I know but I didn't get it as soon as I thought!
On previous cars it has made the turbo spool slightly quicker I think and increased the MPG slightly.
Sounds good TBF about the Decat, I spoke to AmD from thurrock today and most likely I will be taking my car to them soon. Spoke to the chap on the phone who said they can safely push about 180bhp out of the motor and also with dyno print out and theyve done the pd130 before with no probs.
I found this decat on the bay AUDI A4 1.9 TDi Turbo Diesel 2000-2004 Decat Cat Bypass | eBay
however Im thinking if it would actually make somewhat of a difference as online Im seeing mixed reviews about decat as you say it makes the turbo spool quicker which is a good thing however that it would reduce the life of the turbo?
Not spool quicker, but reach its optimum quicker with less restriction in the exhaust.
That de-cat is cheap! I will see if they do one for mine..

Salus populi suprema lex esto, indeed. You'd normally associate tossing piles of paper to the floor with a fit of peevishness, but in the Missouri House of Representatives, it's how they mark the end of session. The Wisconsin Assembly has come to the end of many exhausting sessions over the years, still it's hard to imagine members celebrating by making a mess for somebody else to clean up.
Missourinet news director Bob Priddy says the tradition Jefferson City seems to date from the mid-1980s. "The House used to have skits instead of throwing papers after adjournment. But that was back in the days when adjournment came at midnight on June 15 (talk about spoiling a spring and summer for everybody!)."
The Missouri Senate makes the end of the session in a more circumspect manner, as you might expect from a chamber where at least one member proposed a ban on seersucker suits.

Shade gardening in Texas can be a struggle due to our stifling summer temps. Gardeners have to find plants that can take the heat (but not direct sun) and still perform like a champ. Hellebores have long been a garden favorite all over the country, and have been gaining popularity in Texas in recent years. The Dallas Arboretum has trialed various Hellebores in the gardens for years and found them to be very vigorous growers in the DFW area. NHG strives to find the latest fall or spring blooming varieties so you can add to your collection, and trust us--once you see these new beauties, you won't be able to resist.
The 'Wedding Party' and 'Honeymoon' series are new to the retail market, and we're excited to have varieties from both series! The Wedding Party varieties are single-flowered and have varying shades of apricot, black, mauve, white, yellow and pink blooms while the Honeymoon varieties have stunning double blooms in similar shades.
Both series grow to 18"-24" tall at maturity, and both series bloom in late winter to early spring. Hellebores pair perfectly with Camellias in your shade garden; both need similar care and offer evergreen foliage with beautiful flowers from fall to spring. Quantities are limited and varieties sell out quickly, so come in to NHG soon to select the perfect perennials for your shady garden.


text: According to Dow Jones Dockwise Ltd. will launch an initial public offering on the Oslo Stock Exchange by Oct. 12. The IPO will give Dockwise shareholders 3i Group (III.LN) and Frontline Ltd. ( FRO.LN) the opportunity to sell part of their combined 47% stake in the company, the chief executive said. The company's management owns a 6% stake in Dockwise, and the remaining 47% of the company is traded in the Norwegian over-the-counter market. The company wants to have a formal listing to increase liquidity and exposure. The reason it chooses Oslo is that there are a lot of analysts and investors in the country with knowledge and interest in the offshore industry, Goedee said. Private equity company 3i currently has a stake of 30% in the company, Bermuda based tanker company Frontline has a stake of 17%. Frontline is expected to make a total exit from Dockwise, 3i will retain a small stake in the company after the listing of around 10%. 3i bought Dockwise last year for over $700 million from Dutch offshore services company Heerema Group and Norwegian maritime group Wilh. Wilhelmsen. In May 2007 Dockwise merged with Frontline unit Sealift. Dockwise will use part of the IPO proceeds to pay off a part of its debt of around $958.4 million at the end of the first half year of 2007. Financing costs in the first half were $54.2 million, which partly led to a net loss of $41.5 million on revenue of $134.9 million in the first six months of 2007. In the first half the operating result before depreciation and amortization was $53,1 million. According to market estimates Dockwise will have an operating result of $260 million in 2008, growing to $360 million in 2009. Revenue is expected to grow to $460 million in 2008 and $590 million in 2009. Dockwise currently operates sixteen semi-submersible heavy transport vessels. The merger with Sealift provides the company with another six big vessels. Five of them will be rebuilt from old tanker ships and are expected to be delivered in 2007 and 2008. The first vessel was delivered in May this year. (Source: http://money.cnn.com)

Wednesday begins a stretch of days rich in sunshine, blue skies and warm temperatures, the National Weather Service said.
With daily highs in the mid 80s and light west winds across Long Island, the day starts a seven-day string of terrific summer weather, the service's Upton office said.
News 12 Long Island meteorologist Rich Hoffman said conditions over the next few days will be drier and more comfortable and that humidity levels are likely to rise going into the weekend.
Hoffman said winds could increase later in the day and that the UV (ultraviolet radiation) index would be high.
Beachgoers will find reasonably warm water temperatures, ranging from 72 to 77 degrees, Hoffman said.
Overnight lows could get into the low 60s.
Wednesday calls for more sunshine and daily highs in the low to mid 80s, he said.

Cardiff, Crewe and Swansea are all reported to be tracking Tranmere's Ian Sharps.
Cardiff, Crewe and Swansea are all reported to be tracking Tranmere stopper Ian Sharps.
The Warrington-born central defender is out of contract at Prenton Park in the summer and has yet to agree new terms.
Sharps has been an ever-present over the past four seasons - amassing over 150 first-team starts.
The 25-year-old's progress has not gone unnoticed and a number of scouts are understood to be taking a keen interest.
Rovers are keen to keep Sharps on the Wirral, but it remains to be seen whether the central defender can be lured away.

What is luck?
Scientists do not believe that there is any such thing.
Science deals in a lot of things and scientists try to make predictions about all sorts of things. But scientists do not try to predict good and bad luck.
But LUCK is more important than just about anything scientists do study.
What is that old saying? "When you're hot, you're hot and when you're not, you're not."
Well -- wouldn't it be wonderful if we could know when we are hot? Wouldn't it be great to know when we are lucky and when we are not?
In our opinion, luck is often the difference.
Take for example sports. Luck is often the difference between winning and losing.
We have all heard the term "It is a game of inches" meaning that one inch can make all the difference in the world. For example, last year, if a ball hit by a Yankee in 9th inning of the fourth game of the Yankees/Red Sox playoffs was just one inch to the right, it would have been a fair ball and a home run. Then the Yankees would have won four straight games and beaten the Red Sox. Instead, the ball was a foul ball and the Yankees lost that game, and then lost three more games to end up losing to the Red Sox in the playoffs for the first time in over 80 years.
Most people would look at this and say that one inch was the difference.
But we think the real difference was luck.
And we think that luck depends on the stars.
So the real difference is the stars.
The Magi Society believes that we can use Magi Astrology to predict good and bad luck and by having this ability, we can help ourselves to improve our lives. We also believe God answers prayers and Angels have the power to bless us with "good luck" -- but no matter what, it sure helps to know which direction our stars are pointing.
By knowing when our stars are bad, we would know when to lay low and when to not push our luck. Even better, by knowing when our luck is good, we can take advantage of it, and find a better new job or find true love, or start a great business, etc.
One of the most valuable gifts of Magi Astrology is that it helps us to read the stars so that we can know when our luck is good and when our luck is bad. Magi Astrology is much better at this than any other form of astrology.
The key to the astrology of luck is TRANSITS.
A transit occurs when a planet in the sky makes a meaningful alignment (like a square or a trine) to the position of a planet in a birth chart.
For thousands of years, astrologers have known about TRANSITS and how powerful they can be in our lives. When we have good transits, the stars are telling us that our luck is good but when we have bad transits, the stars are warning us that our luck is not so good.
A good example of this is Jennifer Aniston. In our last link, we explained that Jennifer Aniston was having horrible Nuclear Transits when she decided to leave her husband, Brad Pitt, alone for nine months while he was shooting a movie with Angelina Jolie.
In astrology, we would say, "Jennifer was having awful NATAL TRANSITS." Natal Transits are transits to a person's own natal chart (birth chart).
Natal Transits are crucial and most astrologers check out their own natal transits on regular if not daily basis.
But there is another type of transit that is just as important as natal transits. Sometimes, it is even more important for us to analyze the transits to other charts as well as transits to our natal chart. For example:
If we are married, the transits to our Marriage Chart are just as important as our natal transits because the Marriage Transits are crucial to the actual health and well being of our marriage.
In fact, marital problems are most likely to arise during times
when there are very bad transits to the Marriage Chart.
Once again, Jennifer Aniston is a perfect example.
According to Magi Astrology, the worst transit that a Marriage Chart can have is the Heartbreak Transit.
From the fall of 2003 through the spring of 2004, the Pitt/Aniston Marriage Chart was hit with three Heartbreak Transits. During that time, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie had the opportunity to have an affair and they did
In the fall of 2003, the Pitt/Aniston Marriage Chart had the first of the three Heartbreak Transits, and Brad Pitt personally chose Angelina Jolie to co-star with him in the movie, Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
During their Marriage Chart's second Heartbreak Transit in December of 2003, Brad and Jennifer had significant marital problems that contributed to Jennifer's decision to not visit Brad even once while he was away on location shooting the movie.
Shooting on the movie began a month later on January 22, 2004. By the time the last Heartbreak Transit to the Marriage Chart peaked in May of 2004, Jolie and Pitt had become lovers and the affair became more than just a casual one. Even worse, the two actors made no attempt to hide the affair when they were on their movie sets.
To sum it up, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie had the opportunity to become lovers, and they did so, during the three Heartbreak Transits that occurred to the Pitt/Aniston Marriage Chart.
Below is a CAC showing the Pitt/Aniston Marriage Chart and its transits on May 24, 2004. This was during the time when the tabloids all tell us that Pitt and Aniston were openly very "touchy-feely" on their movie sets and Pitt spent long afternoons alone with Jolie inside her trailer.
The reason the above chart looks like there is a death ray inside it is because we drew four red lines connecting the four major Turbulent Transits that all peaked about the same time. Transiting Saturn was making a Turbulent Transit to the Marriage Chart's natal Chiron and Pluto, and the transiting Saturn/Mars midpoint was making the same Turbulent Transits.
The Saturn/Mars midpoint is normally not crucial as a transit. But when Saturn and Mars are in conjunction, and the two planets both make vicious transits, then the combination of the transits made by Saturn itself and the Saturn/Mars midpoint can drive things over the cliff.
Of course the worst transit was the Heartbreak Transit that was formed by transiting Saturn making a Clash to natal Chiron. This is the worst transit a Marriage Chart can have because Chiron rules marriage.
We know that there are still many Traditional Astrologers who think that transits by Saturn are not really bad, and that Saturn transits "teach" us and "transform" us for the better. We totally disagree. In Magi Astrology, we believe all Saturn transits are problematic. The only "teaching and transforming" Saturn transits are capable of are the kind you do not want. For example, Saturn transits transformed Aniston's marriage into heartbreak, and taught her to not trust Brad. Saturn transits also teach us they are always lousy.
Some astrologers think there are no "bad transits." We disagree. Astrology has to be able to reflect reality and the reality is there are lots of problems in this world. Any type of astrology that claims there are no bad transits is unrealistic and even worse, it is misleading, misguided and unwise.
One of the advantages of knowing about bad transits is that we can then do something about them.
Bad transits will come and go but if we know ahead of time that we will be having bad transits, we can significantly reduce the effects of bad transits by taking wise appropriate action ahead of time. But we have to plan this far ahead because if we are actually in the time frame when we are having bad transits, our judgement will be bad. This is why we have to plan way ahead and decide long ahead of time what actions we will take when the bad transits actually hit us. We should select a time when we are having good transits and we should use those periods of good transits to help us determine what we will do when we have the bad transits.
We have a choice between being pushed around by the stars or being masters of our own fate. If we know about our transits ahead of time, we are better able to master our own destiny. By knowing about Chiron, we understand our transits better because transits to our natal Chiron, and transits by Chiron, are among the most important transits. We should also always include the declinational transits.
The Magi Society teaches our members how to better understand their transits through our Members Only Website. If you might be interested in joining the Magi Society, please click here and send us an email.
For those of you who are members of the Magi Society, we would like you to know that in a few days, we will be posting a new lesson on our 2005 New Members Only Website. The new posting will reveal the astrological reasons why Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are super attracted to each other in a sexual way.

According to philosophy everything i tell you right now is complete bull shit, so why are you still reading? Is it conditioning? Is it your "moral conscience" or is it because your religion tells you to at least listen to every ones opinions? Well at this point it does not matter why you are still reading, the point is you got this far and its far enough for me to give you my reasoning. The study of philosophy is a contradiction itself, you can not study it because it means you are technically studding something wrong, that is what philosophy teaches. So the only way to live life in a sense of awareness and still be happy is by consciously accepting societies truths that you can not change. But at the same time being able to see the opposite side of that. In turn you are left with more questions than answers and if you do come up with an answer it is only as correct as it is wrong. As happy as you can be in the perception you are the opposite in theory. I can perspectably be happy following religion and taking its purpose but philosophy teaches me to do otherwize and at the end of the day all the questions you ask you realize (blank)
as you see any statement i make can be looked at the opposite way. So if you have no answer then you realize there is nothing. Not because there is nothing just because you can not achieve the knowledge. It is all a paradox
I personally do have OCD because of my overthinking (I do not blame the philosophy itself, it is probably just my mind focused always on overthinking almost every little problem, and philosophy is a subjects based on problems, even to solve them if it is possible, and find a possibility). But I have also heard about other individual philosophy lovers who suffers from schizophrenia, anxiety, several types of phobias.

Well, I am not sure how can it effect our minds, but I think every intellectual person (even not) has experienced at least once in a lifetime things such as depersonalization, derealization, existential anxiety, or had anxiety problems. I was always interested in big questions. I made a quite big perspective through the years, and now I have OCD (maybe I can't blame philosophy itself, but my overthinking could help for its creation). I have also heard about philosophy lovers suffer from different kinds of phobias, schizophrenia, anxiety...
One of my favorite films is I Heart Huckabees. In it, the protagonist is seeking answers to some deep seating questions he's been facing. He finds a couple who run an "Existential Detective " Business, who open with the following lines:
Mr. Markovski, we see
a lot of people in here...
Who claim they want to know
the ultimate truth about reality.
They want to peer under the surface
at the big everything...
But this can be a very painful
process full of surprises.
It can dismantle the world
as you know it.
That's Why most people prefer to remain
on the surface of things.
Maybe you should go home.
Let sleeping dogs lie.
Take it easy.
What do you say?
If you're going to break down your worldview, you better be up for the long and arduous task of putting it back together in a new way.
Despite our culture's worship of Aristotle (who is greatly overrated in my opinion, and whose philosophy has become problematic for our present epoch), there are many philosophies which are radically different from one another. Ultimately, modes of cognition (and hence philosophies) depend on bodily form or, more precisely, morphogenesis.
A medieval Russian monk, Theophan the Greek, is belived to have told the icon painter Anton Rublev:
"Great knowledge multiplies your sorrows".
("Великие познание помнажает скорбы".)
It will make you crazy, and for good reason. Social order. Ignorance is a tool of acceptance, a requirement to a society that must have varying sets of metal sets to function as a unit. It's painful, beautiful, and at times isolating because there are those who can see a world that others don't. But sometimes it can be a runaway train mentally. Somehow the fact that it makes someone crazy is almost written in our DNA, to stop, as a necessity to keep us from the ultimate truth. That's where god has his hands on us. However, you are blessed to have a gift, and for some it can be a curse. Know when to just stop, and life will move along just fine.
Knowing some introductory Plato will come in handy next time you're wracking your brain for conversation starters at a cocktail party, but bring up any of the fun jargon from your seminar courses and you'll soon find yourself committed by your friends and family. Good times though. If anyone ever figures out what Wittgenstein was actually getting at, post it on here after the insanity's kicked in!
Schools of philosophy study the concept of suicide and whether life is worth living. The consideration of this primary problem could be considered insanity. Existential philosophy in general speaks to this topic and generally the experience of meaning being brought into question. This all builds off the idea that existence precedes essence. The experience of such Existential awareness can often be accompanied by extreme anguish.
Before the question can be interpreted logically, it should be given a falsifiable hypothesis and underlying concepts should be evaluated. The hypothesis is the statement "Philosophy does make you crazy." The first two underlying claims address the clarification of language. The third underlying question may shed light on the deception of the question itself.
First, philosophy is defined as:
Dictionary.Com says Philosophy is "the rational investigation of the truths and principles of being, knowledge, or conduct."
Second, crazy is defined as:
Dictionary.Com gives us two definitions: "(1) mentally deranged; demented; insane." Or, "(2) senseless; impractical; totally unsound."
With this clarification of language, the statement "Philosophy does make you crazy" appears to be a logical contradiction. When the statement is reworded with provided definitions: "rational investigation does give rise to senselessness, insanity, and dementia." This statement is just as contradictory as the statement "four sides do give rise to triangles."
To uncover the third underlying claim, it would be necessary to inquire upon the origin of crazy:
From a psychological standpoint, it could be true that an excess of stress does give rise to crazy. Furthermore, it could be true for some that critical thinking does give rise to an excess of stress. Finally, it could be true that Philosophy does give rise to relatively greater levels of critical thinking. Yet the debate is surrounded on the idea that philosophy - literally, the love of knowledge - causes crazy directly.
In conclusion, when conducting rational investigation of truth on the statement "Philosophy does make you crazy," certain concepts become clear. The concept of logical contradiction in the claim itself, and the concept of confusing correlation for causation. It very well could be true that there is a positive correlation between philosophy and craziness; however, it cannot be stressed enough, correlation is not to be confused with causation.
Tbh, if Philosophy is making you crazy, you're doing it wrong.
Alternatives to philosophy:
1) To ignore it and follow your nose. That means spending a lot of time being confused, threatened and frustrated by things that more knowledge and understanding would have explained.
2) Avoid having to think by adopting a doctrine. Since all religions are different, then either all bar one are wrong, or they are all wrong.
If you represent all religious beliefs on a Venn diagram, the tiny area where all of the religions intersect would give you purely philosophical concepts. "Do unto others ..." etc.
My impression from philosophy forums is that many (but not all) contributors are so caught up in their ideas of what should be that they display less understanding of human diversity than even children I've met. People can believe they have solved the problems of the universe while being embarrassingly naive about their own backyard.
Often there's the "geek problem" where smart kids are rejected for being different. So they focus on study and hobbies, living in their own little mental world,
People lacking in social skills can appear crazy to the socially adroit, but it's not the same.
The basis of philosophy is to help make sense of the world so that we become more aware of how it all ticks. There are of course some "pseudo-philosophies" that are nutty in and of themselves that can make people crazy (like paranoid theories of the Illuminati being behind everything). But when we're talking about Philosophy with a capital "P" as shaped by such great European and Eastern philosophers as Socrates, Buddha, Aristotle, Kant, etc, then no-- philosophy won't make you crazy. If anything, it'll make you saner than everybody else!
Philosophy only gets your mind going. And "thinking" might make you feel uncomfortable, but you just need to become comfortable in the discomfort. Or at least get used to it. Philosophy doesn't drive you crazy, it expands your mind and drives your thoughts beyond your imagination. Whatever you want to call that is up to you
Philosophy makes sense.Why?Because it's about our life.It's not contrasted to RELIGION,instead,it will teach us to be a good man doing the right thing which every religion wants.It doesn't mean that when we decided to start a career in philosophy we will also believe in other philosophers beliefs or theories.Everything always depends on us,the thing is.. We study philosophy to stand for our own belief.Crazy is not the right term,free is.

What is good writing? How do you recognise it?
Readers know a good story when they read it. They know when characters are strong, when dialogue and pacing are good, when the plot is interesting and the end satisfying, but few readers know what makes good writing as in the prose, the actual words you place on the page.
The following are not rules, just guidelines. Where I mention forms to avoid, it is over usage that is the issue, not whether they are there or not.
What makes good prose?
Good prose:
- Sounds natural and flows so smoothly that you're not even aware that you're reading. Once you become aware of the words, if something jars, then the writing is not so good—unless it's a confusion on your part due to cultural differences between you and the writer.
- Draws you into the story so that you feel that you are right in the scene, not watching from outside. This is the difference between a writer who tells you a story and one who shows you the story.
- Has nothing extraneous. Readers often mistake overwriting for good writing, but good writing has very few adverbs and adjectives and doesn't have the following markers of overwriting:
o A lot of there are, there is, there was, here is, here are etc, particularly not at the beginning of sentences.
o Repetition, when it isn't for a particular effect, and saying the same thing in several different ways.
o Taking a long time to express something, or spending several pages on something that could be said in a couple of paragraphs.
o Long convoluted sentences and big words where the idea could be expressed more simply.
o A plethora of beautiful metaphors and similes. One per paragraph or per four sentences is a good rule. More than that and it's like eating food that is far too rich. Plain writing around the metaphors sets them off like putting a frame around an artwork.
- Generally uses active verbs rather than passive ones. Particularly, you should not find a lot of was and were, and other forms of the verb to be. Eg I stood in the house is better than I was in the house. Good writing doesn't have a lot of was and were followed by words ending in ing, e.g., he limped is stronger than he was limping.
- Does not use a lot of 'ing' ending verbs, particularly not more than one in a sentence and doesn't use them to begin sentences more than about once in 10,000 words. They are much weaker than 'ed' ending words.
- Rarely begins sentences with 'as'.
- Has variety in the sentence lengths and structures.
- Doesn't rely on looked, sounded, with and had in descriptions.
