As manatees can't survive in water below 60 degrees, they migrate to Kings Bay and the adjacent rivers every winter, which are an average 72 degrees all year round. So from November through March 2012, you can head to Crystal River, which is 70 miles north of Tampa, where it is the epicenter of manatee-watching, and go frolicking with these giant but affectionate creatures.

Andrew Alligood prides himself on his polished wardrobe, proper manners and pristine golf game. Rarely does he appear flustered whether he is on the course or off.
That's why Ansley Bowman enjoys taking advantage of any opportunity to tease her longtime friend during an occasional slip-up. One of her favorite stories perfectly exemplifies the bond shared by the two talented seniors from Bartram Trail and their friendly competitiveness that dates back years.
A disappointing regular season came to a cold, unsatisfying conclusion for Bartram Trail on Friday during a trip to Ridgeview.
Panthers running back Quahlin Patterson was the biggest reason why.
Patterson accounted for four touchdowns to help Ridgeview overcome a second-half deficit and top Bartram Trail 28-21.
"I'm glad that I get to spend one more week out here with these guys," Bears running back David Coleman said. "This is definitely not how I wanted our season to end. It doesn't feel good. I want to go out with a bang."
Last week: St. Augustine 29, Matanzas 6;
Palatka 56, Ponte Vedra 35
2013 result: Palatka won 23-20 in 3OT
Series history: St. Augustine leads 48-43-3
One of the oldest rivalries in the state is starting to heat up again. Not only did the Panthers snap a nine-game losing streak with last season's triple overtime win, both teams are again playoff bound.
Last Week: Menendez 35, Ponte Vedra 21
2013 Result: Menendez won 28-21
Menendez makes the playoffs if: It beats Ridgeview and Ponte Vedra beats Palatka
Ridgeview makes the playoffs if: It beats Menendez and Palatka beats Ponte Vedra
Ansley Bowman's final round of high school golf was a fitting end to one of the most successful careers Bartram Trail has seen.
Bowman trimmed four strokes off her opening-round score to card a 1-over-par 73 on Wednesday and help the Bears rally to finish fifth as a team with a score of 675 at the Class 2A state championship on the Las Colinas course at Mission Inn Resort and Club in Howey-in-the-Hills.
Given its success during the regular season and dominance while rolling through a competitive District 4-6A tournament, Bartram Trail's volleyball team didn't necessarily need to make a statement Tuesday evening while opening postseason play against Englewood.
Nobody told the Bears. And lately, few opponents seem capable of slowing them down.
Bartram Trail made quick work of the overmatched visitors with a 25-8, 25-17, 25-19 sweep of the Rams in the Class 6A regional quarterfinals. The victory sets up a semifinal match next week against district rival Creekside.
When the Bartram Trail girls golf team finished runner-up at last year's Class 2A state championship, the only program ahead of it was a powerhouse Plantation American Heritage bunch that finished 47 strokes better than anyone else in the field.
Another successful opening round has the Patriots in prime position to repeat, while the Bears have some work to do for another high finish.
Led by Ansley Bowman's 5-over 77 on Tuesday, the Bartram Trail girls golf team shot 344 (+56) in the first round of the Class 2A state championship at the Las Colinas course at Mission Inn and Resort Club in Howey-in-the-Hills.
Abby Burditt, who was the regional medalist for the Bears, shot 78, while Ella Woods carded 80 and Sydnie Clapper totaled 109.
Last week: Ponte Vedra 38, Ridgeview 19; Clay 40, Menendez 14
2013 result: Menendez won 35-14
Players to watch: Nick Tronti, Ponte Vedra QB; Seth Bradshaw, Menendez; Zack Bryant, Menendez QB
Few opponents are intimidated when watching the Bartram Trail defense get off the bus before a game.
It's usually when the Bears are getting back on the bus afterward to head home with another victory that opposing teams begin to realize what they were up against.
Nobody is more excited this week than former Bartram Trail quarterback P.J. Blazejowski that all-world defensive lineman Jadeveon Clowney chose the NFL over staying for a fourth season at South Carolina.
That's one fewer thing the Furman freshman has to worry about Saturday.
"I'm pretty excited that he's not there," Blazejowski joked Wednesday evening in a telephone interview. "Even if he was there, I'd still be pretty excited. But the fact that he's not there, and I won't be getting chased by a monster or anything like that, makes me pretty happy."

- " Rob was a generous and interesting host. The airport transfers were accommodating, excellent and smooth. The bed in my single room wasn't all that comfortable, but I got a good night's rest after two really long flights. Great location for O.R. Tambo airport. "

- " Pickup and Drop Off at OR Tambo perfect! But no possibility to use credit card, and, surprisingly no breakfast at all. Lots of residentiary international guest inhabiting that hostel. No snacks in the hostel, only tea or coffee, no food store in walking distance. Only a expensive good hotel restaurant on the opposite side. Noisy guests, lots of talk in the evening, at night, in the morning, and you are maybe seated with your nosy neigbour couple from that dormitory, in the plane. One night ok "

News in Brief: Richard Reed Parry, the Little Death, Wooden Wand, Troika Festival
By Tom Breihan on October 19, 2009 at 5:45 p.m. EDT
Photo by Will Marsh
-- On October 29, Arcade Fire multi-instrumentalist Richard Reed Parry will debut an orchestral piece at Toronto's Royal Conservatory of Music. The piece is called "For Heart, Breath and Orchestra", and it will be performed by Parry, indie-inclined composer Nico Muhly, and the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony. Writes Parry: "During the performance, many of the performers wear stethoscopes which enable them to play in sync with their own heartbeats." So I guess you could say this piece has heart. (Sorry.)
-- Techno celeb Moby plays bass and guitar in a new retro blues-rock band called the Little Death. The band will play New York's Mercury Lounge on October 28, and you can hear their debut album on their website.
-- James Jackson Toth, better known as Wooden Wand, is releasing a couple of new slabs of vinyl on People in a Position to Know Recordings. One is Haunting the Stagecoach, a four-song EP recorded under Toth's Wand name. It's hand-packaged and on clear vinyl, and it's limited to 100 copies. The other is "Topless Cow Girl", a single from Jescos, a new band that features Toth alongside members of the Mendoza Line and Glossary. They're both available for preorder right now, and they'll both ship on November 2.
-- The Troika Music Festival, which focuses on indie bands from North Carolina, will go down in Durham November 5-7. Bowerbirds, Megafaun, the Love Language, Dex Romweber Duo, Birds of Avalon, and the reunited Pipe will all play.
News in Brief: Lady Sovereign, James Jackson Toth/WAND, Ting Tings, 1990s
By Tom Breihan on January 26, 2009 at 6:50 p.m. EST
-- You know this whole Twitter thing is getting out of hand when artists are using the text-speak social-messaging thing to report show cancellations. Credit Lady Sovereign with breaking that particular barrier; Visa complications have forced the tiny Brit rapper to push back her quick run of small-venue U.S. shows. (Via Brooklyn Vegan.) Not announced via Twitter: the rescheduled dates, which are on her MySpace.
-- Freak-folk freak James Jackson Toth apparently takes his stage-name cues from Diddy these days, if not ODB. After making about a billion records under his Wooden Wand name, Toth switched to his actual government title for last year's Waiting in Vain. Toth now has a new handle, WAND, and he'll release two new records under that name before summer hits. On March 31, Toth's Mad Monk label, in association with the Olympia label People in a Position to Know, will drop the vinyl-only Born Bad LP. And he'll also release the elaborately titled Hard Knox or "Are You Sure Hank Jr. Done It This Way?": Home Recordings and Demos 1999-2007 via Ecstatic Peace on May 21. Toth's also working hard on the official Waiting in Vain follow-up with Big Star producer Jon Tiven.
-- Now that the ridiculously catchy single "That's Not My Name" is all over basically every show on TV, wiry British dance-poppers the Ting Tings have planned out a pretty big U.S. tour that'll run through March and April.
-- Hard-to-Google Scottish post-punkers 1990s will release Kicks, their sophomore album, on March 24 (March 23 in the UK) via Rough Trade. Ex-Suede guitarist Bernard Butler serves as producer, and ex-Long Blondes singer Kate Jackson guests on one song.

So, here 'tis. There might still be changes, but I suspect this is it.
Meanwhile, the new book continues to make progress, in spite of everything, and Agent is happy with it after reading 150 pages. I'm over 170 pages now. Everyone's in a bad way…well, almost everyone, and the ones who aren't are about to find the fan hitting them hard. The book has several growth centers, so it's deepening in one area while moving out in another.
The new contract will be a two-book contract for two SF books–the offer would be lower for fantasy because the Vatta books outsold the Paks books. I may consider self-pubbing the next Paks books when the time comes, depending in part on the success of the collection.
Thank you all for your support.
2. Kirkus Reviews picked Crown of Renewal as one of the best fantasy novels of the year. https://www.kirkusreviews.com/issue/best-of-2014/section/fiction/?page=8
3. In this fascinating graphic of 62 different stories of the future, a lot of information is turned into one stunning timeline. And one of my books is on it. http://www.brainpickings.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/futureevents_giorgialupi_large.jpg
There's not a whole lot to say about that except…you do what you have to do and get on with things. There will be appointments and more tests and so on, and then the surgery. I don't know when yet; the next appointment is this Friday.
I've seen two iterations of the new cover for the e-book. It's quite nice. I can't show it to you yet. Sorry. There's still Discussion going on. Thus no release date yet (not that I've been told anyway.) There's tinkering with fonts. There's me sitting on my hands to not interfere. Or there was, until the medical news came in. At that point…far less tempatation.
The new book is coming along, although it stopped dead in its tracks at the bad news and is not moving quite as fast as before. Ky is having to work with people she's never met before, in a situation where only great leadership can hold off disaster. Other people are doing the "When in danger or in doubt, run in circles, scream, and shout" dance. There are some new mysterious elements…who actually does the terraforming that has transformed so many planets into habitable-for-humans ones and how? And why? And…are they ever coming back? (Not in this book, they aren't. Maybe not in any. But the thought did occur.)
In other news, I'm involved in a community thing in which–by sheer accident and thinking "It never hurts to ask advice"–led to this very small town getting a world-famous string quartet to come play here. On January 25. I had no idea such a thing was even possible. That's now…really close, in terms of getting all the ducks in a row with their bills polished and their feet clean, so to speak. (Music stands. I still need to locate three–I have a good one.) Many thanks to the Austin Chamber Music Center (edited Wed. night to correct ACMC's name!) for their help, and the Aeolus Quartet for their enthusiasm for outreach. As the contact person, however, I'm the one who has to herd all those ducks–while everything else is going on.
However, a question for the group: Some of you have by now read the Paksworld story "First Blood" in Shattered Shields and others of you may not have…and yet you might want to discuss it in relation to the surrounding milieu. The same is/will be true of "Mercenary's Honor" in the forthcoming Operation Arcana anthology, and the new (and maybe older) Paksworld short fiction in Deeds of Honor. So do we need a Spoiler Space specifically for short fiction? Does it bother you as much when a short piece is discussed before you've read it?]]>
He walked off, grumpy as usual, but I followed him around, "Tell me!" Finally he said "That idea you had for a Vatta book–sappy, stupid. What really happened was…" And then it started. Slow, because I kept trying to drag it back to something similar I'd been thinking about for two or three years. Then I gave up. It moved a little faster. Then I said "Somebody's missing here…who needs to be here?" and the answer was obvious. So now it's moving right along. So far, though I've had books go dead on me, I've never had one die after passing the 75 page mark. Let alone 113, which is where it is right now. Granted, it's still under 25,000 words, but it's got way too much plot complexity already to be a novella. It's headed over 100K, probably–like the other Vatta books–but nowhere near the length of the Paksworld books. IF I get a contract on it, that is. There's no feel of a long-arc that will lead right into other books–a group. It feels–right now–like a singleton, and I don't know if Publisher will be willing to go with that. OTOH, given my track record for underestimating final lengths…it might be more than one. Or another oddity may demand to be written before the deep prequel set in Old Aare that I think may be the next Paksworld book. Cracolnya's story is hung, right now–it's alive, but it's not progressing though I poke it at least twice a week. I think I just need some time writing something else for a bit.
What this means is that there won't be a Paksworld novel for a few years–even if this one continues at the present rate, I won't finish it before next summer (and that's if all goes swimmingly.) There will be Paksworld short fiction. That e-book, first. Then "Mercenary's Honor" in an anthology in the spring. And a second e-book of Pakworld stories.
In the meantime, this will also be an opportunity to work on those other Paksworld related projects–finishing the map, extending it into Old Aare and into the west, maybe even mapping that part of the continent across the Eastern Ocean where humans have lived. The pronunciation guide, the complete character list, all that. Writing the somewhat shorter book will mean fewer 18 hour days, leaving more time for the other. I hope you folks will keep up conversations here. I will be asking for reader help from time to time as I try to set up the references I'll need to go deeper and farther.
And for those who do like my space opera/military SF, the new Vatta book is already full of adventure, intrigue, political skullduggery, and drops Ky once more into a problem she's never confronted before. And other people into problems they've never confronted before. I sorta-kinda want to start a blog related to that group of books (because it's been such fun having readers to interact with here on the Paks books as I wrote them) but I'm neglecting two other blogs right now, so…don't want to drop this one to be active in that one. OTOH, the Vatta books weren't as demanding (because shorter, among other things) as I wrote them. Small spoiler for it: shuttle ditching in very cold ocean with the nearest land inhospitable and all communications not working.
Progress on the e-book continues. I've seen a first mock-up of the new cover and like it; there will be some minor changes and when I see the final I'll post an image. Cover copy (which I'm lousy at) is in work. I'll be posting here about progress on the e-book, progress of short Paksworld fiction, and progress on NewBook (which has no title…there may be a contest…)]]>
In the past few weeks, I've been writing some posts about the Ebola situation in Texas, in particular, because I have both some medical background and some knowledge of the many different kinds of Texas hospitals. If any of you are interested in those, they're presently on my LiveJournal, and I've referenced some of them in Twitter. (If you want a list of links, I can provide it.) It was clear to us from the first report of Mr. Duncan's experience at that Dallas hospital that a) it wasn't a first-rate hospital (for more reasons than missing an Ebola diagnosis on his first visit) and b) that given its quality, additional cases were almost certainly going to show up.
We are from a generation when many of the modern immunizations weren't available and the ones that were were absolutely required by the school systems. We had tetanus, diptheria, whooping cough, typhoid, and smallpox immunizations, all at a more frequent interval than they're given now. Even so, there was sporadic smallpox across the river in Mexico, and there was a diptheria outbreak about 10 miles from where I lived. Children I knew died of polio and some survived with permanent disabilities. Nurses in my childhood had trained in the pre-antibiotic era; cross-contamination was a constant battle in hospitals; nurses and doctors both contracted TB and other diseases from their work. So sterile technique was paramount–the only defense against these and the other diseases.
We were quarantined when we had measles or mumps (not so much with chickenpox though we couldn't attend school) and no school expected perfect attendance until at least junior high (by which time most of us had had measles, rubella, mumps, chickenpox and a host of less important diseases. Movie theaters and swimming pools were closed part of every summer, as polio outbreaks moved through the region. We had block quarantines (children not allowed to leave the block they lived on) for polio, and if someone you knew came down with it, the similar routine of daily checks of temperature and (different) neck suppleness. "Touch your chin to your chest!" because stiff necks were associated with polio attacking the spinal cord. A summer sniffle or cold was always a worry for parents, and for us by the time we were in school. When I was in first grade, one of the two second grade teachers came down with polio and I, like all the others who had been around her (she was a sweet young woman and we all liked her) had to get gamma globulin shots. Boy, did that hurt! But I didn't get polio–which was lucky, because the year before (I think it was–I was still in Mrs. Jordan's preschool) I had had encephalitis that nearly killed me. In a coma for 3-4 days with temperature (I was told later) over 106F. Packed in ice trying to get it down.
Anyway. The six years I spent as a rural ambulance volunteer took me to a variety of hospitals, from the excellent to the…very much not. I've put more medical things into other stories (SF more than fantasy) and may write more medical stuff in future…but these recent posts have been more analytical nonfiction than story. Will there be plagues in Paksworld stories in the future? Only if a character shows up in my head demanding that his/her story of a plague be told.]]>
Ancient texts spelled out what someone needed to do to be a good person/citizen/leader/ruler but did not bother with how those traits might arise and what (if anything) could turn a potentially good person into a bad person. Aristotle did point out that a character's strengths and weaknesses should be integral to the plot of a drama (for which we can read novel–it's basic Story) but he didn't dig back into the psychology angle. Oedipus was hasty and quick to anger: that was his fatal flaw. Why he was angry, why he was hasty…it didn't matter. Psychology seeks to understand–to know how a child grows into that kind of adult. People are born with some innate character traits that show up even in early infancy. Then they are born into their primary social group (be it a single parent or a large extended family) and a surrounding culture…all of which place expectations on them because of their gender, their appearance (race, beauty or lack of it, any odd physical characteristics), etc.
As they develop, their innate inborn traits are influenced by their surroundings–their experience of needs met or unmet, acceptance or rejection, physical health or illness or injury, approval and disapproval (of them as persons, of specific behaviors), opportunity or lack of it–all culturally mediated (via the family and then the rest of that culture). Innate traits react differently to the same stimuli…what one person finds rewarding, another person finds punitive. The introvert does not turn into an extravert by being forced into social situations. And since no one is perfect, there's always some way for someone to become a bad guy for your story, if you need them to…there's always a weak point that you, the storyteller, can exploit. Major characters are strong enough to fight back (you might as well let them be who they are, because they'll turn plastic on you if you don't.) But minor characters–that likeable restaurant owner your main character considers his friend–that accountant in a firm you need to bring down for story reasons–those you can mess with.
Considering the culture you've built as this character's background, the minor character's fatal flaw should fall under a mild version of something that's considered a personality disorder, not a major mental illness. A level above trivial, but not exciting enough to drag the reader's mind off the storyline. He gambles too much; he's really short of money; he does something wrong (embezzles, sells the pain pills his mother left behind when she dies, shoplifts, sells a company secret.) He doesn't admit how wrong it was; he makes excuses to himself and gets deeper in, etc.) She's addicted to [whatever's addicting in your story-world] and does whatever she can (legal and illegal & immoral) to get her fix. Nothing spectacular here, but motivation for doing a bad thing that needs doing in the plot. You want your gambler or your drinker or your procrastinator or your compulsive liar or other "weak" character to act believably in psychological terms, though in your story (where modern psychology may not exist) the character is seen as acting from a different set of motives. What, in psychology, is considered to contribute to the development of specific behavior patterns?
And that's where the anthropology comes in. How does the culture you invented for the story see human nature? What does it consider innate? Under the character's control? Out of the character's control? How does it view someone of a different skin, eye, hair color? Taller people? Shorter people? People with an eye that doesn't align with the other? With a misshapen ear or nose? With a missing limb? What are its beliefs? Is the wall-eyed child feared ("He has an evil eye!"), tolerated, pitied ("Poor girl, she'll never make an archer"?) In Violette Malan's The Soldier King, a boy born without magical gifts reacts to ridicule and taunting from other boys with growing resentment and hatred and finally betrays his tribe to punish them. Would he have been as bad if he's had magical gifts to start with? If the other boys had been sympathetic instead of tricking him and humiliating him? Maybe–but he had an excuse and he ran with it. (Malan's Dhylyn and Parno books are my favorites of her work, but all her stuff is extremely well-written with excellent characterization.)
A major bad guy's psychological profile should be more dramatic, and as I mentioned before they must have agency–they must act, not just react. Small-time crooks, cheaters, liars, etc. don't end up a master villains…or if they do, they develop some characteristic mental diagnoses along the way. Narcissism and associated grandiosity. But small or large, a bad guy's badness needs to make sense across the realms of basic beliefs about goodness and badness, psychology, and the specific effects of anthropology–the culture(s) you devise for your story-world. This doesn't take pages–or even paragraphs–of explanation. As with any data insertion, the details need to arrive exactly when needed, and leave room for readers to make those connections they can make without being hammered.
Major villains may stay offstage, seen at a distance through other characters' points of view and judged by their actions alone (possibly affected by rumors about their past.) They may be onstage but not POV characters (Marshal Haran, in her interaction with Paks.) They may be written as POV characters with the caution that if you want them to stay in the villain category, don't make them too sympathetic. (I managed that with Luap. Luap is not sympathetic…on the other hand, he's almost too weak to be a major villain–he was more collaborator than mastermind.)
What, then, makes a bad guy who's believable as a master villain? Suggestion: read biographies, including autobiographies, of real-life master villains. Yes, many of them really are that grandiose, that arrogant, that oblivious to others' realities, that narcissistic. Some of the nonfiction reads like pulp fiction. Lack of empathy (empathy erodes even with routine petty crimes and betrayals) is characteristic of the master villain, be it a criminal or a national (galactic?) leader. Psychosis is not that uncommon, when psychosis is defined as an inability or refusal to stay in touch with reality. A certain cavalier attitude towards reality–a claim that Will or Determination or Esprit will overcome–attracts followers who admire and want to share that confidence. But believing one's own hype leads to failure. Will, etc., can go only so far: no matter how hard you believe, gravity's stronger than Will when it comes to flying. Intelligent major bad guys (the best kind) can succeed a long time (we have had enough of them as national leaders through history) and lead your protagonist a long, difficult chase, but are vulnerable to the right good guy (which, as writer, you are in charge of.)
And that's enough of Bad Guys for awhile. The next topic in Craft of Writing will be something completely different (when I think of it.) In the meantime, a cheering picture:
The current pair of socks had their heels turned today (down where the needles are at the end toward the camera: above that the ankle and above that five inches of ribbing.) Now for the gussets and then the foot and then…I'll have these to wear this winter. (For the knitters: Mountain Colors' Indian Paintbrush colorway.)]]>
One way to consider bad guys is to take another look at good guys. What is "good" anyway? Traditionally, lists of virtues have been used to describe good behavior. Courage or fortitude, without which no other virtues can be sustained in difficulty. Prudence, the ability to gauge the likely outcome of behavior and thus consider whether an action will produce a good effect. Temperance, the ability to manage one's own emotional state so as to think clearly and act rationally. Justice, the ability to see what is fair, especially in balancing one's own needs and desires against those of others. Others have been added by various religions and cultures. Faith, hope, charity, modesty, humility, kindness, cheerfulness, and on and on. But from the point of view of a writer, you can get a lot of good bad-guy motivation out of character problems relating to the cardinal virtues plus some basic tools from 20th century psychology.
Let's take the virtues first and consider how, in a bad guy, something goes awry with them. The opposite of courage is cowardice, or uncontrollable fear. A bad guy who is terrified of something will do anything to escape it: will both refuse to do something that risks him or her, or actively do bad things to avoid the threat of what he or she fears. A person overcome with fear will trample someone else to get away from danger, will kill someone else on command to save his/her own life or the life of someone he/she cares about. Bad guys like this can be controlled easily by worse-guys. This is why courage is often considered the root virtue, because it takes courage to hold to any other virtue. Second-level and minor bad guys are believable motivated by fear-for themselves or someone else. The less courage they have, the more easily they're manipulated. Fear contaminates thinking (as Frank Herbert wrote in Dune, "Fear is the mind-killer…the little death that brings total obliteration…") Fear is one of the primary emotions, flooding the brain and body with stress chemicals. If the fear is strong enough, it is impossible to gather and evaluate data, impossible to follow the demands of logic.
Prudence. Prudence has a prissy sound these days, but it's actually related to, of all things, engineering, via both planning and failure analysis. Prudence is a way of foreseeing outcomes, and then choosing the best one. Setting the breakables out of reach of small children–and teaching them not to set their glass on the very edge of the table. Prudence has several opposites: lack of foresight, carelessness, haste (which interferes with analyzing the possibilities), recklessness. But prudence requires the ability to think ahead–something not everyone has (children are born capable of fear, but not prudence) and not something every child is taught, depending on their family and cultural values. Since prudence is not innate, a child must be capable of learning it, and must be taught it. Like all learned skills, prudence is not automatically generalized from one situation to another. Someone can be prudent with money, but reckless with personal safety in one way or another–or the reverse. A crook without prudence may not have prepared another escape route, or may take an obviously identifiable stolen object to a flea market. Minor bad guys in a story may be deficient in prudence because they're not capable of thinking ahead, carelessness, or recklessness. But your major, first-class bad-guy will not have gotten to the position of power/wealth/strength presently held by lacking all prudence. The main antagonist will be able to plan, sensibly cautious, and become reckless to a dangerous degree only when he or she has amassed enough power to be overconfident.
Temperance. Temperance is necessary for self-discipline, and thus a lack of it means discipline falls apart. Bad guys deficient in temperance cannot control themselves–if not in all areas of their life, in some of them. Their performance varies markedly with their feelings of the moment. They're handy in stories, because they reveal Bigger Bad Guy's secrets inadvertently to canny allies of the protagonist when they're drunk, angry, or taunting good guy's allies. Main antagonist-level bad guys have a measure of self-discipline (and temperance) but may also have learned that being perceived as explosive personalities helps keep subordinates in line. In real life there have been very successful bad guys who–in respect to anger–had no discernible controls. But anger, like fear, clouds thinking: bad guys who operate out of either of these emotions will make serious errors in time. Temperance, like prudence, is not innate–and like prudence, some individuals cannot learn it, even with the best examples and instruction. It's also culturally variable–some cultures expect more self-control than others, and all expect different amounts from different subsets of the culture. (In creating fictional cultures, play around with this. Who is allowed to be emotional–and which emotions–in public? Who isn't? In our culture, anger and grief are gendered emotions: men can show anger; women are not supposed to. Women can cry; men are not supposed to. Though this is changing, that division is still strong.)
Justice. Since justice requires the ability to balance one's own wants and needs against those of others to achieve fairness–and that requires other cognitive and emotional and cultural components, justice is an easy virtue to lose (or never have in the first place.) And yet we now know that animals below the level of primates, let alone humans, have an innate feel for what is fair. It's not always the same, but it's always based on tit for tat, the kindergarten level "One for me, one for you." Culturally, "fairness" and 'unfairness" are perceived differently from culture to culture, and within cultures by each segment of it. One of the commonest causes of disputes among children is violation of their understanding of fairness, whether in a game, in the division of cookies, or treatment by adults. But–and this is critical to understanding bad guys–their naive understanding of fairness–the inborn part–is easily, in humans, converted to a cultural definition, while still, underneath, the biological tit-for-tat is still operating at the emotional level, producing those stress chemicals that underlie both fear and anger. A child may learn–and appear to accept–that one gender is privileged over the other, that one skin color is privileged over the other, that the rich are entitled to walk proud and sneer at the poor, but the child who is not privileged will harbor that biological urge to make things fair, one way or another. Similarly, the privileged child may conclude that he/she deserves everything, not just a larger share. Perceptions of unfairness drive a lot of bad-guy behavior in real life and in fiction. At the mental-illness end, extreme narcissism fuels a drive to power and control, and in sociopathy and psychopathy destroys any feeling that the rest of the people are as real as the big bad guy.
Naturally, in a story you're not going to lay all this out in case histories…not in the story proper, at least. But even these four virtues and their lacks, provide both conscious and semi-conscious motivations for a wide variety of bad-guy behavior. The excuses people make to themselves about their behavior relate to one or more of these, as much as to the positive vices of greed, selfishness, cruelty, etc. "I was scared–he said he'd beat me up after school if I didn't steal Sam's pen." "I didn't know the bullet would go that far–it's not really my fault–" "I was angry–I wasn't myself–I didn't mean to really hurt her." "It's not fair, the way they treat us. The way I see it, I *earned* that copper wire." Mixed excuses–those that draw upon excuses from several missing virtues–are common: "I didn't know the bullet would go that far, and anyway it's not fair for people to build houses so close to the woods." Bad guys frequently deny the reality of their mistake ("It wasn't me!" "It was an accident.") or deny the reality of the good/bad standard altogether.
Good-guys can and do sometimes behave like bad guys, but one difference is that good guys own their mistakes–they see them, admit them, connect their behavior to the sources of their error, and don't do that again. They aren't perfect by any means, but they have enough of these virtues to function, on the whole, as good guys, and they know (and admit to themselves) when they've screwed up.
Next time: how some knowledge of modern psychology can help you write good bad guys, and the pitfalls of confusing psychoanalysis with characterization.]]>
One of the first things to consider is the probable length of the story you're writing. I know, I keep writing books that I thought would be short stories (or at least not many-volume epics!), but story length has an effect on what kind of bad guy you can fit into it and still have room for anyone else. In "Bargains," a mere 1497 words, the good guys were a pair of friends, an ex-mercenary and a modestly successful wizard: the bad guys were some dishonest merchants in league with a bandit gang. There was no room for serious deep characterization of any of them, least of all the merchants and bandits–character was defined entirely by action. The good guys paid honest money for what they bought; the bad guys cheated them and tried to rob and kill them. Labels worked fine for readers to understand that the horse dealer, magic weapons seller, and bandits were bad guys. Should a writer want to do a deep psychological study of a mass murderer/child rapist/torturer/ tyrant, etc. and the person who eventually brings that bad guy to judgment or rough justice or whatever, a short story isn't the right form to do it in.
Shorter works call for fewer characters and–with the possible exception of a single protagonist–simpler ones. The longer the story, the deeper you can go in more characters, including the bad guys. But even in very fat books, when you may technically have room to dig into everyone's deepest psyche, there's a reason to spend more words on the character you want readers to identify with, the protagonist. Several reasons, in fact. One is strength of viewpoint. The more time you spend in a character's viewpoint, the more readers will slip into that viewpoint and identify with that character. So the protagonist's POV wordage should be more than anyone else's. In that case, the reader will see the bad guy(s) through the protagonist's viewpoint…which also allows for more suspense, since the protagonist will not know exactly why the bad guy stole the horse, robbed the traveler, condemned someone to a painful death, burned down the town. The protagonist's guesses about the bad guy's identity (if it's not known) and motivation enriches the protagonist's characterization and glues the reader more firmly to the main plotline of the story even when later events show that the protagonist guessed wrong a lot of the time.
Another thing to consider is how many bad guys a given story needs. In that very short-short story, although there were several individual bad guys (horse dealer, wizard-supplies merchant, bandits) one of them never appeared onstage (the wizard-supplies merchant) and only the horse dealer had significant wordage. Basically, the opponent was one gang, comprising the cheats and the bandits (how many times had they sold that trick horse trained to bolt at a whistle signal?) In any story, from 1500 words up, there's room for sketched bad guys. They don't take up much room, and they can populate a story-canvas with realistic social background, according to the writer's opinion about what percent of people are minor bad guys. Their story function is to get in the way of the protagonist while something else happens: delay, confuse, frustrate, create an emotional response that then affects how the protagonist reacts afterwards. They may be related to a primary bad guy (or bad guys), or unrelated; they may be in direct, active opposition, or merely "there" and require the protagonist to notice and evade them. On Paks's journey south from Dwarftwatch, the escapees were delayed repeatedly: a party of Siniava's cavalry gathering supplies from a farm, by flanking scouts as Siniava moved south with prisoners: indirect interference related to that book's primary antagonist. But in the encounter with the scout posted on a hilltop–direct opposition. Direct but unrelated opposition when they encountered the "farm family" that habitually attacked travelers. Direct and related opposition again, when the bandits Siniava had bribed to watch for any soldiers they found in the woods near Rotengere attacked them. Minor bad guys provide the writer with opportunities to reveal how nuanced the protagonist's response to bad guys is–or isn't.
But that book has many bad guys–most of them unrelated to Siniava. The two bad recruits in Paks's cohort Korryn and Simits. The steward at Duke's Stronghold. Barranyi, who is clearly moving toward her final decision to commit to evil by the end of the book–she is jealous, resentful, very rigid in her standards for others, with no insight into her own character. Alured the Black, pirate and robber, accepted as an ally in time of need, proves to be greedy, power-hungry, and cruel at the end. Siniava, the main bad guy, also power hungry and cruel from the get go. The mage in the crypts and caves under the old guardpost near Brewersbridge, doing blood magery. And many more: even in that first volume. All the characters–including Paks–have flaws, make mistakes, and many do one ore more bad things–but the bad guys give their flaws free rein. It is more realistic to have a range of bad guys–some operating in concert and some independently–if the length of story allows that much detail in the fabric. No matter what the culture, there will be a range of bad guys and a range of motivations.
Yet another consideration is what kind of bad guy(s) will be the main opponent, the main antagonist. Is the bad guy a person already in power? (And in what? ) Seeking power (and where on the ladder?) Seeking power in an alternative power structure (as organized crime is to legitimate politics and commerce?) A complete rebel rejecting all existing power structures? Is the bad guy sane (by most definitions) or is the bad guy mentally ill–and if so, what kind? Is the venue political, religious, commercial, military, agricultural, domestic, or something else? Will this bad guy pursue the bad deeds in person, or have others who actually commit the deeds? That depends in part on culture and in part on position: heads of state use the existing structures of that state–bureaucracy, law enforcement, military, etc.–to impose their will. The culture in which the bad guy develops and lives up defines at what level certain powers are available…defines whether the same opportunities for gaining from being bad are open to all sexes, all races, all religions. The main antagonist needs to be a serious threat to the protagonist–and here having lesser bad guys helps, because it's easier to show how bad the BIG bad guy is if there are smaller bad guys for comparison.
Enough to think about for now, right? More another time.

Capitol Hill grad Tom Sturdivant, 78, dies
Tom Sturdivant, who won 16 games in both 1956 and 1957 for the New York Yankees, was always the life of the back room at Gerald's Donut Shop on South Pennsylvania Avenue.
Every morning, six days a week, Capitol Hill High School graduates, most of them athletes, meet to talk shop and old times. The Capitol Hill gathering will be a little quieter from now. Sturdivant died Saturday at Integris Southwest Medical Center. He was 78. "When he was in the donut shop, he thought he was in the dugout," said Ray Thompson, a 1951 Capitol Hill grad. Said Chuck Page, a 1954 Capitol Hill graduate, "Great guy. Fun to be around. Everybody I knew thought a lot of him. "Tommy, he was a great competitor. He would get after you. We knew that from his high school days." Sturdivant graduated from Capitol Hill in 1948 and signed with the Yankees. He was in the major leagues by 1955, and in 1956-57, Sturdivant was one of the American League's best pitchers. He started a World Series game in both seasons and beat the Dodgers 6-2 in Game 4 of the '56 Series with a complete-game performance. Sturdivant suffered an arm injury in 1958 and was never the same. The Yankees traded Sturdivant to Kansas City in 1959; he retired after the 1964 season, with a 59-51 career record. Sturdivant is survived by his wife, Elaine. Sturdivant was preceded in death by two sons, Paul in 2002 and Tommy III in 2006. Services are pending.

Hi there,
Hope someone can give me some much needed advice. I am looking for some very user friendly web design software to help me build a new business website. The features I am looking for are as follows:
a) Must be very easy to create, edit and customise my own web pages; including overall layout; colour schemes; and navigation buttons. When I say very easy I mean no coding, as I simply do not have the time to learn any level of programming/code writing. b) I want to sell things on my website, which would require being able to manage around 30 seperate products with colour images and easy 'shopping cart' function and a flexible paying option e.g. worldpay and paypal. Would also like web optimisation and data analysis. c) Would like to link into Twitter, Facebook and eBay at some point.
Having spent several hours trawling the net, looking at hosted solutions and software I am still at a loss. I have looked at Serif WebPlus x5, wysiwygwebbuilder, os commerce, MS Sharepoint Designer 2010, virtuemart, opencart, zen cart etc.
Any advice would be welcome.
Many Thanks!

There are various designing software available in the world but among that Photoshop is the best program. It has fantastic tools, efficient filters, smart menus and creative actions to create beautiful graphic design. By the use of this software you bring awesome effects to any image.

During a Q&A this past Saturday at the New Orleans Comic-Con, CM Punk was asked if he'd rather face ROH World Champion Kevin Steen or TNA Superstar Bobby Roode. "That's actually a good question, I know Steen personally. I don't even know if I've met Bobby Roode… That'd be fun, I think me and Bobby Roode would be pretty good. "Contrary to popular belief, I do occasionally get to watch TNA, mostly on fast forward, but Bobby Roode is one of the guys… solid, solid guy. It's be fun."

Bud Collins misses Wimbledon
Date: July 11, 2012
by: Observer Staff
This year's Wimbledon was the first one Bud Collins had missed in 44 consecutive years. The longtime Longboat Key vacationer and tennis writer, announcer and fan fell at his hotel room last fall during the U.S. Open and ruptured his left quad tendon. Collins has undergone nine surgeries. He has seen many of the great and memorable matches but had to miss the Australian and French Opens and Wimbledon. Collins is hoping to attend the U.S. Open at the end of the summer and maybe even pick up playing the sport again.

Good off-road routes as well for mountain bikes. In high season bikes can be hired at Lectoure. Labastide d'Armagnac, 45 kms away, is well worth a visit.

Golf clubs – 4 courses within 15 - 45 mins, nearest being the well rated Golf de Fleurance which is built around an 18th century Gascon house. Classed as a 9+9 with many different re-start points, it gives the impression of being a real 18 hole course. It is classed as the ninth best 9 hole course in France. Due to the wonderful Gers climate, it is open all year. It also has a good restaurant with special golfers' menus starting at 10 Euros. Other courses are Gold Club de Guinlet near Eauze; the 18-hole Golf d'Auch-Embats which also has a good restaurant. The 9 hole Golf de la Martines near L'Isles Jourdain, The 9+9 Golf de Gascogne near Masseube and the 9+9 Golf du Chateau de Pallane at Tissac.
Horse riding – there are several local centres, including Laplume and La Romieu.
Tennis – nearest courts at Fleurance; Large tennis complex at Condom opposite the new outdoor swimming pool.
Quad-biking – about 25 mins from the house, near Roquelaure, to the north of Auch.
Horse-racing and Trotting – nearest course is at Castera-Verduzan, Another large course is near to Beaumont de Lomagne.
Car and Motorcycle racing – Circuit Paul Armagnac at Nogaro, 50 miles south west, is a modern challenging circuit. Events most of the year. Club days are good where you see amateurs flogging their pride and joy around the track.
Flying – Good flying clubs at all the local airports, Agen and Auch. You can also learn to parachute at Agen. Hang-gliding and para-gliding at St Clar..
Antiques and Bric a Brac – Every town has at least one brocante. Many fairs throughout the year. In the season you can visit an outdoor "Vide Grenier" a type of car boot sale. Have done them myself and they are great fun, there are still bargains to be had.
