What Publishers are Buying--And What They Aren't
Urban fantasy and paranormal fiction has been the darling of publishing for the last few years, but a conversation with my agent earlier this week made me start wondering if the UF bubble has begun to deflate. As a writer of urban fantasy and paranormal romance this is Bad News. Of course, a writer never writes to the market but you can't ignore it (especially if the number of adult authors flocking to ride the YA bandwagon is any indication).
So, like any self-respecting nerd looking for ways to procrastinate, I did a study of the genre fiction sales this past year, using data from Publisher's Marketplace. I only looked at genre fiction, and discounted anthologies, reprints of books by dead authors, and small limited-run editions such as those put out by Subterranean Press (however much I adore their books).
Here's what I found in books sold between Dec. 15, 2009, and Dec. 15, 2010 (counting multiple-book deals as one sale):
Young Adult: 432
Romance/Women's Fiction: 371
Mystery/Crime: 148
Inspirational: 145
Thrillers: 120
Urban Fantasy: 76
Science Fiction/Steampunk: 36
Horror: 13
Traditional Fantasy: 13
I'd have to do an analysis of the previous year to see trending, but overall throughout the year, there seemed to be a drop in urban fantasy while steampunk gave sci-fi a shot in the arm.
(The Young Adult numbers are mind-boggling to me. I've read some really good YA, but I've also read lots more that I just couldn't identify with, being far-removed from the angst of teenhood. When will that bubble burst, already? Surely saturation must be near at hand.)
Within Urban Fantasy, here's the breakdown:
*Complex-worlds with multiple paranormal species: 24 sales (with NAL, Ace, Berkley, Prime and Night Shade most active)
*Angels/Demons: 18 sales (Tor, Pocket, Rock and Kensington most active)
*Werewolves/Shapeshifters: 11 sales (NAL most active)
*Witches/Wizards: 10 sales (Berkley and Pocket most active)
*Vampires: 7 sales (NAL most active)
*Ghosts: 6 sales (Tor most active)
*No zombies!
Most active publishers buying in Steampunk (Tor, HarperCollins Voyager and Ace)
Most active publishers buying Sci-Fi other than Steampunk (Tor, Baen, Daw, Roc and Del Rey)
Most active publishers buying traditional fantasy/romantic fantasy (Tor and Orbit)
What can we draw from all this? Probably not much, except that zombies might finally be dying, angels and demons are still hot, and vampires' fangs are slipping. Complex worlds with those species are more seem to be doing best.

I found that kinda surprising, but with all the teenage hype over movies these days, and honestly I don't see adults buying as many books as they used to (economy and all), but they won't deny their children happiness either so I can see the trend in teen novels soaring. But honestly I'm kinda over Zombie's myself so bring on the Steampunk I say!ReplyDelete
I think that maybe one of the reasons that YA has such high numbers is because it encompasses so many different sub-genres. Correct me if I'm wrong, but even a paranormal book can fall into that YA category as long as it is written with young adults in mind, right?ReplyDelete
Did you lump paranormal in with UF? This was a very informative post. Thanks so much for sharing this.ReplyDelete
Great. Post. Thank you. I too am wondering when the YA jag will end. I have no interest in teen angst written for adults. I lived through plenty of my own and don't care to revisit. I'm so glad you decided to procrastinate and write this post. It's very helpful.ReplyDelete
Very interesting and useful breakdown. My co-author and I are currently working through a paranormal police procedural, which we hope to sell as the first of a series (we have 7 books vaguely plotted).ReplyDelete
In these kinds of statistics, I wonder how many don't-purchase-this decisions are based on what the market really wants, and how many are based on the fact that as writers flock to a genre/bandwagon, quality goes down ....
Thanks for the thought-provoking post!
Very interesting. At least the vampires have slipped off. This gave me some insight about how to market my novel once I'm finish.ReplyDelete
Thanks for this post. I'm a little tired of the YA craze as well, and wonder when it will die down.ReplyDelete
- Nikki EgertonDecember 16, 2010 at 12:43 PM
Thank you for this post, it's intersting info to know. XxxReplyDelete
I'm surprised. I love paranormals, YA, not so much. I like my characters full grown.ReplyDelete
I wonder how many of the YA's are UF/PN...I mean, teams Edward and Jacob are still buying books.ReplyDelete
Also...this is what the publishers bought...what did the public buy? so, like, if there were only 12 adult PN's bought by publishers, but they sold twenty bajillion copies each...
I'm dizzy. But mark my words: Salt and Pepper Romance is going to be the next sub-genre.
Interesting numbers. Zombies never die they just tend to rest every now and then waiting for a good time to rise and feed on the living again.ReplyDelete
Zombies and Vampires always die before they rise again.ReplyDelete
Seriously, though, great insights! Thank you for sharing!
Wow! Lots of great info here!!!ReplyDelete
Thanks for posting this Suzanne!!!
I bet most of the YA was paranormal too. The kids are already in high school why would they want to read about it too? Add in some creatures and it's a nice escape, right? :)
Thanks again for sharing this!
Thanks so much for that research. I am amazed by the number of YA sales.ReplyDelete
Great insight. Thanks.
I don't see paranormal romance listed here. Where did you lump that in? YA? Romance? I'd like to see that broken out as a separate category.ReplyDelete
This is fascinating..but like others I'd love to see those YA figures broken down into sub-genres. It's a very wide definition, and it includes a lot of paranormal/UF.ReplyDelete
I think that's why I've been floundering. I want to write fantasy romance but there really isn't a market. So I've tried other things but they aren't what I want to write and so I never stick with them.ReplyDelete
I get the most excited about fantasy so next year...even if there isn't a market, I'm going to be working on my fantasy stories.
Huh. Not great news for me as a UF writer, but then again, I saw nothing in the stats about mythology-based worlds like mine (Egyptian pantheon) so I'm not about to panic yet! :)ReplyDelete
Very interesting numbers, each house is specializing due to the demands of readers. 2,700 books are released daily into the mix besides these top publishers. I think Paranormal is very strong if there is an erotic romantic interest. Women want sex in their novels and great plots. I'm a little surprised about what I'm not seeing...where's the faeries, I thought they had a niche. Oh well, I'm not going to write YA, I don't remember all that angst, I'd need to take a Valium. No thanks, LOL.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the comments, everyone!ReplyDelete
I plan to do a breakdown of YA to see how many of those are paranormals, but it's such a huge chunk of data to go through I'm saving it for a separate post. It DOES include all genres, but my sense is that paranormal YAs are also giving way to more general-fiction YAs.
I'll also be dividing up urban fantasy and paranormal romance--I lumped them in one category. My guess is that PNR is still going strong as non-romantic UF is slipping. Stay tuned next week (when I'm off the day job) for more breakdowns!
Oh, and I should add that the proliferation of small pub houses that aren't necessarily included in the Publishers Marketplace data (Samhain, Ellora's, etc) would really boost the paranormal romance numbers.ReplyDelete
I think one of the reasons that YA books are taking off is that with so many adult authors writting YA books a lot of adults are buying them. So they get a double audience.ReplyDelete
And I wonder what the breakdown would be if you incuded indie books.
Wow, this mind boggling. I'm so glad I have a contract on my UF. Thanks for the numbers. Rachel FirasekReplyDelete
Okay, I knew YA was hot, but the difference in numbers between this genre and the others was staggering. I'm rooting for UFs; love that genre!ReplyDelete
I'm surprised adult urban fantasy is as low as it is, but I'm not at all surprised YA is still leading the pack. I suspect urban fantasy is a bigger contributor to YA than it is to adult fiction.ReplyDelete
Excellent post. Thank you.
Wow, thanks for the interesting breakdown! Can't wait to see what your other post breakdowns will reveal. After my traditional fantasy romance series is done, I have several UF/PRN story-type ideas I plan on writing next.ReplyDelete
YA does nothing for me. Bring on the vampires...and give them some balls.ReplyDelete
I'm happy to see romance and mystery/suspense hanging in tight at the top.ReplyDelete
Thanks for breaking this down!

Disheartening for those of us who have no interest in writing YA. I doubt I could pull it off convincingly.ReplyDelete
Interesting stuff! Thanks!ReplyDelete
Hey Suzanne! Just my thoughts -- in this economy, people are cutting back on the books they buy, however, while parents may not purchase books for themselves, they will certainly buy books for their teenagers to encourage good reading habits. I think that's why YA is still going strong, especially with this economy -- adults will still scrimp for themselves but spend for their kids. Not that I've done any scientific study on this, but I've just noticed it in the moms around me (and yes, myself!).ReplyDelete
Well, anonymous, according to some definitions of "YA" I've heard the target audience is as old as 21, and increasingly includes "edgy" content, so you may have some wiggle room about positioning a story for the YA market. Personally, I hate words like "edgy".ReplyDelete
What is perhaps *most* discouraging about these figures is how thoroughly a fairly simplistic breakdown exhausts all the fantasy books published. Apparently, if a fantasy novel isn't "traditional", it is "urban", and must contain paranormal species, angels/demons, werewolves, wizards, vampires, or ghosts.
Really? That exhausts the possible scope of fantasy? I don't think so.
What if a fantasy book doesn't fit in any of these pigeonholes? Can it be sold?
And the trend is still dark? I read that also in your post. Love vamps, but angels kicking their butts, well that's nice too! (As long as we loose the sparkle, the clouds and the choruses).ReplyDelete
Great information and I can't wait for further breakdowns.
Very interesting numbers. And thanks for the heads up on which houses are most active in each area. That is also helpful. To clarify though, someone like Lindsay Sands would fall under romance in this, not urban fantasy, right?ReplyDelete
I also want to see numbers on how many of those YA were paranormal vs. all the others! Might be a project for another day.ReplyDelete
As far as YA popularity, at least a third of YA book buyers are adults. I read a lot of YA myself, as do a lot of my friends. I think the crossover market has really boosted those numbers.
Excellent post!
Thanks for the very interesting breakdown. I was relieved to see that mystery/crime is near the top. Maybe there's still a chance for me.ReplyDelete
Great insights. But it's hard to predict what's going to gain popularity. I never saw Twilight coming, and then vamps took over like mushrooms after the rain. So, just because YA is big right now, (I'm the one to ask, if I'm to judge by my niece, she's proud of the fact that can barely read McDonald's menue)sad but true, it doesn't mean we should all scurry and start writing teenage things.ReplyDelete
Good points. I don't think we write to the market because by the time our books are being submitted the market will have changed.ReplyDelete
I'll post some further breakdowns next week on how the women's fiction breaks down, for example, and how much of YA is paranormal, and break out paranormal romance vs urban fantasy.
Great information, Suzanne!ReplyDelete
I read some YA (write a little) but I agree with not being into the angst. However, bring on the complex paranormal worlds with a great plot and lots of smexin'. Those I love to read and write!
Wow! Interesting post!! Thanks for sharing these numbers. YA is taking over the world!!!ReplyDelete
I'm 28, and most all I read is YA. I think the thing I like the most about it is the unnecessary sex scenes that a lot of adult books have.ReplyDelete
That's really interesting! Did the stalling technique do good things for the psyche? :) Hope so!ReplyDelete
I love young adult fiction a LOT more than adult fiction mainly because whether the book focuses on the supernatural or not, there is that feeling of wonder and discovery.ReplyDelete
Wow, those YA vs. adult numbers are what I find depressing. I just can't write YA unless those stories came to me - which they don't. I can't force myself into that genre.ReplyDelete
Hi Suzanne -ReplyDelete
Interesting breakdown of genres. But, what about Indie/self-pubbed authors? (I'm not an author, BTW.)
Thanks for the contest/giveaway!

Amazing article on what publishers are buying and what they are not buying.ReplyDelete
I did wonder though what percentages of the YA overlapped the urban fantasy/steampunk/science fiction and romance categories. It seems much of what I've read in YA falls into an assortment of all of these.
Great article. five starts!
Wow, this post is great !never knew about this before !ReplyDelete
uniquas at ymail dot com
I'm not too surprised by the YA numbers; lots and lots of teen girls are reading more and more - it's sort of becoming the "IT thing" to do - as a parent, I don't mind spending discretionary dollars on books for my teen (and I get to read her books, too - books like The Mortal Instruments series, Graceling, Twenty Boy Summer [which wasn't my cup of tea, but]) - a lot of the YA books can be classified as paranormal, fantasy, or supernatural as well. I'm starting to get into Steampunk as well, so I can see how the more buzz that goes around, the more Steampunk will be sold. Look at all of the awards The Windup Girl received - and it can also be classified as sci-fi or even fantasy. I think we do a disservice when we push certain books into one category or genre, as many now seem to be hybrids.ReplyDelete
Interesting. The YA numbers dont surprise me too much, while there is a lot of great new YA out there its also become a big ticket item for movies and TV as well. I think it would be cool to see these compared to the past couple years too.ReplyDelete

The numbers from YA really surprised me. I never expected that. I am glad to see Steampunk hasn't lost it's steam. ;-) The steampunk genre fascinates me and seems to have so much room for a variety of stories and subgenres. I hope those numbers continue to grow.ReplyDelete
Thanks for doing this!
Very interesting to read -- thanks so much for compiling this information. Authors need all the insight possible when it comes to market trends,ReplyDelete
Have a great holiday with family and friends, Keta
Wow. There's nothing like numbers to really draw a picture. Breaking down the Romance/Women's Fiction number into sub-parts will be an amazing post... can't wait! Does this include category/Harlequin sales? If it doesn't, then wow on the inspirational numbers!ReplyDelete

Hey! Don't wish for YA to go away! Those are your future readers.ReplyDelete
Very cool and interesting breakdown.
That is great information - but as you mentioned you need to pull the sales numbers for AT LEAST the previous year (I would recommend last 3-5 years) to truly understand which categories are seeing increase/decreased sales.ReplyDelete
Additionally, I'm unfamiliar with the data source your referencing - so I wonder if any of these categories are 'cross referenced'? i.e. does one book fall into multiple categories like YA AND Urban Fantasy?
Well, Suzanne, thanks for the info. My current WIP is a shapeshifting vampire story. I'll just keep up what I'm doing and hope someone likes the story enough to buy it. :)ReplyDelete
Thanks for compiling this. It would be nice to see the breakdown in all the genres but the overall numbers give a great deal of insight into what the publishers think will sell. I wonder how the "bought" list stacks up against the "sales" list.ReplyDelete
Thanks for this timely info. I have 72,000 words so far in my paranormal where my hero is a mortal working to quell demons for Heaven. It will be dark and sexy. This info is invaluable. Wish I could write YA, but I learned awhile ago to FOLLOW MY HEART in my writing.ReplyDelete
GREAT job, Suz. The numbers really boggle the mind. I wonder how many MS's are going with the smaller non-reporting houses, like you mentioned, and with the indie or micro-publishing route.ReplyDelete
People are still buying their favorite genre books to read, the difference is *where* it's published. In the end, I don't think a reader gives a damn what house it comes from - they just want a good-priced, well-told story.
No matter where they buy it, the savvy reader will return it if it's crap.
The YA figures ASTOUND me. I just don't enjoy reading them as much as the ones geared for an older audience - except of course, Harry Potter ;-)
Great info. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
Very interesting and useful post. I liked the showing of which houses are buying what and look forward to the breakdown re: women's fiction.ReplyDelete
Thank you for researching this; this is invaluable information. I do think that by the time an author wants to jump on a trend, unless there's speed writing involved, the trend may already be on its way out. I'm going to forward this information to my husband, who is an aspiring writer. He's not writing about zombies/vampires/angels/demons or anything, but trends are always useful to know. I think it's important to write from the heart and about what you really have an interest in.ReplyDelete
(I used to post as Whoo...)
Interesting facts! I was surprised angels and demons rated so high. I heard they were dead. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
Very interesting info and post. :)ReplyDelete
I've read several times on different blogs about Vampire Vacation and have it on my TRL.
Carol L
I'm a YA writer, and the thing to realize is that YA is not a genre, it's a category. Inside YA there is fantasy, Sci Fi, Paranormal, Historical, and my own genre, realistic contemporary. People think Harry Potter and Twilight, but there is so much more. And so much of it does crsoo-over to adult readers, not just to revisit their childhood angst, but people in search of some of the different kinds of stories adult publishing houses think readers won't buy. I have readers who buy for their children AND for themselves. I'm not writing for the market, I'm writing for themReplyDelete
The numbers are interesting, but I have to be an optomist. If only one house buys only one book in my subgenre, I have to hope it will be mine. Maybe I'll have a breakout novel and revive that subgenre. It could happen. :)ReplyDelete
Very interesting. I wonder why there weren't zombie books. I personally love them!ReplyDelete
Everyone wants to be the next JK Rowling, hence the YA boost. I'm working on hard SF myself, will cry bitter tears if a publisher suggests I "steampunk" it.ReplyDelete

NKNK reports lower earnings, advances cracker project
9:55 AM MDT | March 28, 2014 | Natasha Alperowicz
Nizhnekamskneftekhim (NKNK; Nizhnekamsk, Russia), a major producer of petrochemicals, today reported lower earnings and revenues for full-year 2013, citing a slowdown in the global economy. Revenues were down 3.4%, to 126 billion Russian rubles ($3.53 billion), on the back of lower prices, the stagnant global petrochemical industry, and unfavorable rubber markets. The company, nevertheless, has increased its share of the rubber and plastics markets to support future growth. Ebitda in 2013 was down 42.4%, to R13.2 billion. Operating profit was 52.8% lower, at R9.1...

The Great Rift Valley Atlas 4D DVD explores East Africa's Great Rift Valley. Stretching through thirty five hundred miles of East Africa, from Ethiopia to Mozambique, the Great Rift forms the world's largest system of geological faults. The Rift Valley is so vast it can be seen from space. From its beginnings 35 million years ago, the Great Rift Valley transformed the landscape. And in the Atlas Great Rift Valley DVD, this geological upheaval made some of the iconic East African wildlife what it is today.
The scientists of the Atlas 4D DVD travel through time to reveal surprising connections. How flamingos are pink because they live in the strange, volcanic lakes created by the Rift. How a variety of fish species were forced to evolve odd eating habits because of changes in the ancient 'Great Lakes'. And an Atlas Great Rift Valley DVD, explains when the Great Rift formed, it created the huge Serengeti plains, which hosts one of nature's most impressive spectacles The Great Migration.
The Atlas 4D DVD will take you back through time to witness the evolution of another species us. Human beings evolved because changes in climate and landscape here forced our distant ancestors to get down from the trees and walk upright on two legs. Fast forward to the present day and the connection of landscape to the people becomes clearer: Nomadic Tribes such as the Massai; the tough Afar people who mine one of the Rift's treasures; the Hadza who hunt and gather their food daily. In the East Africa DVD, see how even Nairobi's city dwellers rely on the volcanic forces that created the Rift in the first place. But ultimately, this will be a tale of destruction, because the Rift Valley will one day reach a cataclysmic conclusion.
Shop for the Atlas 4D DVD for a captivating look at the Great Rift Valley and how it affects the environment, past and present.

Review of the 2010 Nissan Sentra
The 2010 Nissan Sentra offers a roomy interior as well as respectable fuel economy and power. However, it's a step behind the class leaders in terms of driving dynamics and all-around desirability.
- Safety
Spacious seating, intuitive control layout, varied engine lineup.
Droning acceleration with CVT, flinty ride, forgettable handling in all but the SE-R models.
What's New for 2010
The 2010 Nissan Sentra receives a new optional navigation system (late availability) that includes a 5-inch color screen and real-time traffic information. Other tweaks include revised headlights and taillights for all models, a new grille and front fascia for the 2.0, 2.0 S and 2.0 SL, a standard 4.3-inch color-display audio head unit with iPod and Bluetooth controls for 2.0 SL and the SE-R models, and an optional back-up camera for the navigation system. Also, the 2.0SL receives standard stability control, but its leather upholstery is now optional rather than standard. Finally, the slight fuel economy increase provided by last year's "FE+" trim level has been added to all models with the 2.0-liter engine and continuously variable transmission (CVT).Read full review of the 2010 Nissan Sentra

Other tweaks include revised headlights and taillights for all models, a new grille and front fascia for the 2.0, 2.0 S and 2.0 SL, a standard 4.3-inch color-display audio head unit with iPod and Bluetooth controls for 2.0 SL and the SE-R models, and an optional back-up camera for the navigation system. Also, the 2.0SL receives standard stability control, but its leather upholstery is now optional rather than standard. Finally, the slight fuel economy increase provided by last year's "FE+" trim level has been added to all models with the 2.0-liter engine and continuously variable transmission (CVT).
The 2010 Nissan Sentra torpedoes the notion that economy cars must have relatively cramped cabins. Full-size adults fit just fine, thanks to the Sentra's tall hatchback roots -- its platform is derived from the Euro-market Renault M�gane. Despite this French connection, the Sentra retains Nissan's trademark sporty-yet-functional interior design, including orange backlighting and a nicely contoured steering wheel. However, its driving character is just so-so by the ever-escalating standards of this segment.
Under the hood, at least, the Sentra is plenty competitive. Most models come with a solid 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 140 horsepower and up to 34 miles per gallon on the highway. Standard on the uplevel SE-R is a 2.5-liter four that sacrifices a few mpg in return for a healthy 37-hp power bump. The high-performance SE-R Spec V receives a massaged version of the 2.5-liter engine with a 7,000-rpm redline and an impressive 200 hp and 180 pound-feet of torque. Nissan has made a point of offering capable power plants across its model lineup, and the Sentra is no exception.
But unlike competitors that include the Honda Civic, Mazda 3 and Mitsubishi Lancer, the Sentra's handling abilities are unremarkable. Even the SE-R models fall short of segment-leading sport compacts, though they're certainly sharp enough to be entertaining. Yet there's not the expected payoff in ride comfort, as the Sentra's suspension allows some unpleasant impact harshness as well. Softly sprung economy sedans like the Hyundai Elantra and Toyota Corolla do a better job here.
Overall, the 2010 Nissan Sentra is a midpack small sedan -- worth considering if the price is right, but not particularly desirable. We appreciate the Sentra's technology offerings, including its new-for-2010 optional navigation system, but it takes more than high-tech toys to hack it in this segment. The Sentra is not a bad car by any means; rivals like the Civic, Elantra, Mazda 3 and Lancer just happen to be better all-around choices.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The 2010 Nissan Sentra is offered in six trim levels: 2.0, 2.0 S, 2.0 SR, 2.0 SL, SE-R and SE-R Spec V. The base model 2.0 includes 15-inch steel wheels, power windows and locks, 60/40-split-folding rear seats, air-conditioning and a four-speaker sound system with a CD player and an auxiliary audio jack. Add-ons for the base 2.0 are few.
The 2.0 S gains 16-inch steel wheels, driver seat height adjustment, keyless entry, cruise control, power mirrors, a trip computer, steering-wheel-mounted audio controls and a six-speaker stereo with MP3 capability. The 2.0 SR adds an SE-R-inspired body kit and 16-inch alloy wheels at no extra cost.
Opting for the 2.0 SL trim nets 16-inch alloy wheels, keyless ignition and entry, satellite radio, overhead storage for CDs and a 4.3-inch color display audio head unit with Bluetooth and an iPod adapter. Many of the SL's standard features are available as options for the 2.0 S. Options available for either S or SL trims include a sunroof, heated front seats, a rear spoiler, a trunk divider and an eight-speaker Rockford Fosgate sound system with a six-CD changer. Leather upholstery is available, but only on the SL. As with other Nissans, these options are grouped into larger, more expensive packages.
The Sentra SE-R trim level heaps on more amenities to the SL trim, but keyless start, satellite radio and steering-wheel-mounted audio controls are available only as options. Standard features for the SE-R include 17-inch alloy wheels, more performance-minded suspension tuning, larger brakes, a lower body kit, cloth sport seats, aluminum-trimmed pedals, the SL's color-display stereo and gauges for oil pressure and G-force.
The SE-R Spec V further enhances the SE-R's sporting nature by adding higher-performance tires, an even firmer and lower suspension, larger front brakes and racier interior trim. One drawback to the added performance of the Spec V is a reinforcement brace that prevents the rear seats from folding. Both SE-R models offer options like a sunroof and the Rockford Fosgate sound system, but keyless ignition and entry are only available with the standard SE-R. A limited-slip front differential is only available on the Spec V.
A navigation system (late availability) with real-time traffic is optional on the SL and both SE-R models, as is a back-up camera.
Powertrains and Performance
Nissan Sentra 2.0 models come equipped with a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine that produces 140 hp and 147 pound-feet of torque. Power is routed to the front wheels through a CVT or a six-speed manual gearbox (base 2.0 only). Fuel economy for the CVT registers an EPA-estimated 26 mpg city/34 mpg highway and 29 mpg in combined driving, while the manual transmission drops fuel economy noticeably to 24/31/27 mpg.
The Sentra SE-R models feature four-cylinder engines that displace 2.5 liters. The regular SE-R cranks out 177 hp and 172 lb-ft of torque, and a CVT with manual shift control is the only transmission available. For those with more of an appetite for power and performance, the SE-R Spec V produces a higher-revving 200 hp and 180 lb-ft of torque, and it's available only with a six-speed manual. In performance testing, we clocked a Spec V from zero to 60 mph in a quick 6.7 seconds. The added performance hurts fuel economy, but not too much -- the SE-R manages 24/30/26 mpg and the Spec V returns 21/28/24 mpg, though the latter requires premium fuel.
The entire 2010 Nissan Sentra line comes standard with front-seat side airbags and full-length side curtain airbags. Antilock brakes are an option for the base 2.0 model and standard on all others. The higher-performing SE-R models come with four-wheel disc brakes, while the others have rear drums. Stability control is standard on the 2.0SL, SE-R and SE-R Spec V, but unavailable on other Sentras.
In government crash testing, the Nissan Sentra earned a perfect five-star rating for front passenger protection in frontal and side-impact crashes. Four stars were given for rear-seat side-impact protection. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety awarded the Sentra its highest score of "Good" for both frontal-offset and side impacts.
Interior Design and Special Features
Inside, the Sentra is recognizably a Nissan product, with the company's trademark orange backlighting, sporty gauges and slick-looking but easy-to-use controls. Impressive high-tech goodies like available navigation, iPod and Bluetooth functionality sweeten the deal. Materials quality is decent and the cabin is surprisingly spacious, comfortably accommodating taller adults in any seat. Smaller drivers, however, may feel as though they're sitting in a cave due to the Sentra's high dashboard and beltline. The non-telescoping steering wheel doesn't help driver comfort either. Trunk space is good for this segment at 13.1 cubic feet.
Driving Impressions
Overall, the 2010 Nissan Sentra gets the job done on the road. The 2.0-liter engine is adequately smooth and peppy, but the CVT causes an irritating engine drone during acceleration. On smooth tarmac the ride quality is suitable, but when things get rough, the Sentra's suspension lets a notable amount of impact harshness filter through. Handling is forgettable in 2.0 models.
Those looking for performance will gravitate toward the SE-R models. Both variants are more at home in tight corners, but the Spec V is significantly sharper, and its free-revving yet torque-rich engine delivers plenty of lively fun. However, compared to other sport compacts in their price range, even the Spec V isn't especially fun to drive. Part of the problem is its balky manual shifter, which feels awkward and imprecise relative to the slick six-speed in the Honda Civic Si.

PDXpert PLM software: Simple, flexible product lifecycle management
PDXpert gets you into PLM without busting the bank or compromising on the vital functionality that you need to get control over your data and processes.
- Anthony Lockwood, Editor, Desktop Engineering magazine
PDXpert product lifecycle management software helps to ensure that your organization's design information is accurate, reliable, controlled and available throughout the entire product lifecycle by efficiently managing product data and processes. PDXpert PLM software offers the most useful capabilities of high-end PLM software solutions, but without their complexity and expense.
A simple, affordable PLM software solution
PDXpert PLM software is a simple, flexible PLM solution that merges the principal features and capabilities from earlier product data management (PDM) systems, CAD data file managers, configuration management tools, and engineering drawing management systems (EDMS).
PDXpert PLM software is specifically tailored for growing companies to address these functions:
- Parts list management and rules-based automatic document and part numbering system
- Bill of materials / product structure management
- Engineering drawing management and document control for requirement, design, process, support and other engineering data
- Electronic file repository ("data library" or "vault") that permits attaching files to parts, documents and change forms
- Engineering change management, including engineering change request (ECR) forms and engineering change order (ECO) forms, as well as change workflow for formally approving and releasing new and revised product data
- Approved vendor source management and approved parts identification
- Materials content identification for regulatory compliance (WEEE/RoHS/ELV)
- Custom part and document data definitions ("custom attributes")
- Multi-user secured access, including "electronic signature"
- Data access & export to downstream ERP/SCM/CRM systems
Other PLM vendors often make their PLM tools complicated, but our fast & easy system makes you an instant PLM expert. PDXpert PLM software requires only a relatively current computer with Microsoft Windows; we supply the application server and client software, and PLM database along with extensive help and training materials. As a result, PDXpert PLM software's simplicity, flexibility and low cost yields an ROI that can be up to 5 times faster than other PLM vendors' solutions.
We welcome you to compare PDXpert PLM software against other solutions in the PLM arena by downloading and installing our free PLM software evaluation. Download PDXpert PLM software now and your free, fully-functional evaluation can be running today!
Benefits of PDXpert PLM software
You'll see significant benefits using PDXpert PLM software:
- Increase revenue by slashing design time and accelerating release and change cycles
- Lower product costs by encouraging more collaborative design, eliminating many production errors and rework, and minimizing excess and obsolete (E&O) inventory
- Reduce administrative overhead by simplifying regulatory and contractual compliance, and by reducing process administrative and clerical costs
View our video presentation Why PLM? Managing product data to improve financial performance. Then download PDXpert PLM software, and get higher revenues with a lower-cost product and reduced administrative expense.
What is PLM, and why do I need PLM software?
Product lifecycle management definition
Product lifecycle management (PLM) manages historical data, current approved configurations and planned changes relating to the definition, design, production, deployment, support and ultimate disposal of engineered products.
While any product life cycle can be managed with PLM software, complex engineered products (such as machinery, industrial measurement and control instruments, medical devices, automotive parts, communications and consumer electronics, and aerospace components) will especially receive the benefits of a PLM system.
Think of PLM as both (a) a central data hub for all information that affects a product, and (b) a communication link between marketing, engineering, manufacturing and field service. Your PLM system is where all product information from marketing and design comes together, and where it leaves in a form suitable for production and support.
PLM or product data management software?
If you've looked at PDM software in the past, you may now be wondering how PDXpert (or any other) PLM software is different from PDM software. We give you the answer here: PDM software or PLM software: what's the difference?
Time to escape your Excel BOM spreadsheets or Access BOM database?
Challenges of Microsoft Excel bill of materials spreadsheets
Smaller companies often begin their path to commercial product lifecycle management software by working with Excel BOM templates. These spreadsheet templates are easy to construct, and can be useful for a short period. But you'll begin to see the complexity and expense of maintaining BOMs using Excel after you have only a few dozen bill of material spreadsheets. Once you have over about 50 spreadsheets, the risk of expensive production errors due to clerical mistakes rises significantly. Learn the 10 pitfalls of Excel bill of materials spreadsheets.
Designing a Microsoft Access bill of material database
Developing your own Microsoft Access bill of material database may avoid many typical BOM spreadsheet problems, but represents an even greater investment in time and resources. Is it cost-effective to develop your own Microsoft Access bill of material database software?
PDXpert PLM software is an efficient, affordable alternative that has all of the features you'd include in your own PLM system, along with the user documentation, training, support and on-going upgrades that simply aren't feasible for "do it yourself" BOM database solutions.
Watch our short video to see how fast and easy bill of material management can be!
Using PDXpert PLM software as your configuration management tool
Smaller engineered product companies are often required by regulatory agencies or supply chain partners to develop a configuration management process. Adopting PDXpert PLM as your configuration management tool will help meet that requirement. The PDXpert PLM database can be configured to meet your company's specific configuration management requirements and industry CM best practices.
In addition, the benefits of an automated configuration management tool are available in a surprisingly simple and affordable solution. The PDXpert PLM database architecture is designed to scale from single users to medium-sized enterprises, requiring minimal IT support while providing flexible configuration management options.

Excerpted from: Beyond Psychology, #16
"The whole therapeutic movement has gone wrong on that point: Love thyself.
"Socrates used to say, 'Know thyself.' And there have been masters, particularly Sufis, who say, 'Be thyself.' But there is only one person in the whole history of man, Gautam Buddha, who said, 'There is no self. You are an emptiness, utter silence, a non-being.'
"His message was much opposed by all the traditions, because they all depended in some way or other on the idea of the self. There may have been differences on other points, but on one point they were all totally in agreement and that was the existence of the self. Even people like George Gurdjieff, who used to talk about a very novel idea that you are not born with a self, you have to earn it: 'Deserve thyself' finally, he also ends up with the self.
"Gautam Buddha does not make any distinction between the self and the ego and there is none. It is just sophistry, linguistic gymnastics, to make such distinctions; then you can discard the ego and save the self. But the self is simply another name of the ego. You are only changing names, and no transformation of being is happening.
"Buddha's message is tremendously significant: you are an emptiness; there is no point in you which can say 'I.'
"Looked at from my vision, when I say to you, 'Melt, dissolve into existence,' I am simply saying the same thing in more positive terms.
"Buddha's way of saying it was so negative that many people were stopped, because the question arose, naturally, that if there is no self, why bother? what is there to achieve? Just to know that you are not?
"A whole life of discipline, great effort for meditation, and the result is to know that you are not? The result does not seem to be worth it! At least without the meditation, without the discipline you have some sense of being. It may be wrong, but at least you are not feeling hollow and empty. Knowing that you are not, how will you live? Out of nothingness there is no possibility of any love, of any compassion no possibility of anything. Out of nothing comes only nothing.
"So the opponents of Buddha described his method as a subtle way of spiritual suicide far more dangerous than ordinary suicide, because with ordinary suicide you will survive, you will take a new form, a new birth. But with Buddha you will be committing total suicide, annihilation. There will be no longer anything left of you, and you will be never heard from again, never found again." Osho
Butterfly... Gautam Buddha... Socrates... the idea of self... George Gurdjieff... ego... sense of being... spiritual suicide... birth...Chuang Tzu

The latest trend in banking appears to be converting from a national charter to a state charter. As of April 12, 20 banks had converted from national to state charters this year, according to FDIC data. Compare this to the same time period in pre-recession 2006 when only 12 banks converted to state charters and that is a 67 percent increase.
As various banks have made their conversion announcements, several reasons have been cited. One bank said the Dodd-Frank Act has removed most of the benefits of operating under a savings bank charter, such as federal preemption and consolidated bank and bank holding company supervision.
The significant cost difference in maintaining a national charter versus a state charter was also noted as another reason for switching. For example, the $115.7 million asset Verus Bank in Derby, Kan., switched its federal charter for a state one last year. The change will save $30,000 a year in fees alone, the banks president, Kyle Russell, said in a Wichita Eagle newspaper article.
Dealing with a local regulator who lives in and, therefore, understands the market area was cited as another reason for switching. But critics of this reasoning say banks are just looking for an easier regulator. A recently published study by the National Bureau of Economic Research supports this criticism. Federal regulators are significantly less lenient, downgrading supervisory ratings about twice as frequently as state supervisors. Under federal regulators, banks report higher nonperforming loans, more delinquent loans, higher regulatory capital ratios and lower ROA, the study states. There is a higher frequency of bank failures and problem-bank rates in states with more lenient supervision relative to the federal benchmark.
As if to also refute this reasoning, in his first speech the newly confirmed Comptroller of the Currency Thomas Curry mentioned that most of the OCCs examiners work from one of the more than 60 offices the OCC maintains around the country, and they clearly know those local markets as well as anyone.
From our position as a nationwide regulator, Curry went on to say in his speech, the OCC brings significant resources and expertise to the table. But our local presence in communities throughout the country provides an equally important perspective.
If you are thinking of switching from a national to a state charter for whatever reason click on links below to find articles and information about converting, as well as announcements from a few banks that have already made the switch.

I ordered these to use to assemble a shower gift. The baby's room is done in the Fire Dept. theme. I am obtaining a young picture of both of the baby's parents to insert in the two props that I ordered. It will be a delightful surprise to everyone at the shower -- especially the Mom.

The prop is very flimsy and I had to put two small boards on either side so it would stand up but it is very cute and the kids loved it!

Title: Fire Truck Birthday Hit!!!
Date: Apr 28, 2011
This product really worked cute as a decoration as well as entertaining item for my son's 3rd Birthday! I took a picture of every child guest and will be sending them out as thank you's next week. I wish the card board was a little more sturdier for the little ones but for the price, it did its job!

We got one of these for my son's 2-year old party last year, and it was a hit. We got another one this year, plus I could re-use the one from last year, and they were a hit again.

Title: Pretty cute
Date: Jan 25, 2011
This is a cute idea. A nice, colorful design and the head hole is just the right size, but like other people mentioned, it's not very high off the floor if you think you're going to have it self-standing like the picture. It's also not made from very thick cardboard...(more like heavy posterboard) so it's barely able to stand on it's own... and forget about it if you have 3 year olds running around or bumping it.
I had read the reviews so I just taped it to a couple chairs right away and that worked just fine.
Cropped in, the pictures of the kids were just adorable, but I wanted to show a picture of the setup.

Title: Adorable

This is the cutest little thing I have ever seen for a birthday party. It was a hit. My only complaint was that it was a little short, but it is supposed to be meant for the little kids anyways... I would definitely recommend this for any fire truck party.

Title: Small but Cheap
Date: Nov 20, 2010
The size makes it difficult for kids to put their whole heads in it. Maybe 3 year olds could do it but my two year old kept putting his hands in the whole and he had a hard time getting his whole head in just because the position of the whole makes it hard to bend and put your head in but as a whole, it's a great party display and again older kids might have an easier time. For the price, it was worth the purchase. Misty

Local family, friends reminisce about Christmas traditions
Monday, December 24, 2012
PULL QUOTE: "One of my most memorable Christmas Eve's was years ago ... my uncle was outside surprising us by peering in the windows. A neighbor saw him and called the cops. Now that's a Christmas Eve I'll never forget!"
"I have a friend driving up from Pennsylvania to join me for Christmas Eve, something we have done several times. I hope the weather won't affect her trip." Gates reminisced about Christmases past, growing up in Northwood with her family, leaving "cookies and milk for Santa, and apples for the reindeer."
Some of her most memorable Christmas holidays have been spent with friends on the Island of Oahu, Hawaii.
"My dear friends have a house on the Pacific and annually cook a young suckling pig called a Kalua Pig. With lights on palm trees and fireworks, it makes for fabulous Christmas Eve. And, of course, getting up the next morning and seeing many Santas in full regalia is remarkable."
Joseph Bouthilier of Dover will return to his roots of Milford, Mass. this year, as he always does, to spend time with his family.
"This is the first year I haven't been able to travel early to Milford to participate in our family tradition of helping our grandparents sell Christmas trees, the profits of which are donated to the My One Wish Foundation which helps out critically ill children ... That's my kind of Christmas."
Elizer Ruiz, a Metheun, Mass. resident who works on the Seacoast, has a Christmas Eve story that doesn't happen on Christmas Eve.
"I was born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico," explained the 30-year-old Ruiz, a manager.
"Although we do a mild version of what would be a United States-type Christmas Eve, the Puerto Rican version actually takes place on the Feast of the Epiphany, January sixth. We share gifts and it is a huge, huge family event. We roast a pig, and have rice, pigeon peas, pasteles, a traditional Indian dish, as we celebrate El Dia Reyes Magos," she explains. Unlike the U.S. traditions of cookies left for Santa, the Ruiz children filled shoe boxes with soil and grass for the reindeer.
Twenty-one-year old Emily George of Dover remembers the traditional going to her grandmother's house for Christmas.
"We would always watch Christmas movies like "It's a Wonderful Life," she said. "I love Christmas, everyone is so happy." The Dover High School graduate will be plying her trade as a barista Christmas Eve day at Dover's Caf� on the Corner.
Dover native Tory Dube is home visiting friends and family over the Christmas period.
"I live in New York City now," said the 25-year-old graduate of Dover High School, who works for the nonprofit Life Vest Inside, an organization dedicated to "spreading kindness throughout the world."
"Our motto is inspire, engage, educate and unite," she explained, being a kindness giver fosters another kindness. Dube will be joining Dover friends and family making desserts and bringing them to homeless shelters on Christmas Day.
"We will be making our own tradition," she effused.
"We're starting something new this year," said the 25-year-old electronics worker, "I, and a whole group of friends, will be gathering for a pot luck dinner and Yankee swap. I don't go for wild parties or anything on Christmas Eve, it's more of a quiet time."
North Kingstown, Rhode Island native Brei Famulari recalls going "every year as long as I can remember," to her grandparents home in Bridgeport Conn.
"It was wonderful, we always had a grab bag and I as the youngest got to pick first, then it kind of evolved to a Yankee swap kind of evening."
Married now and living in New Hampshire, the Spaulding High School English teacher spends Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with her in-laws in Rochester enjoying delicacies like stuffed lobster.
"Nobody makes it like my father-in-law," she said with a big smile.
The extended Bairstow family is creating a new tradition as well, as Andrew and Megan Bairstow of Dover were hosting Andrew's brother, Roger, and his wife, Suzanne, from Walla Walla, Washington. Roger and Suzanne were joined by their son, Harper, and daughter, 11-year-old Maya. When asked if they did anything special on Christmas Eve, Maya replied "we all get to wear new PJs."
As the families exchanged remembrances of Christmas Eve, four-and-half-year-old Harper related, "It is really hard to get to sleep on Christmas Eve."

Great Product By Nate on 6/21/2010 Nate would recommend this product to a friend I was pleased to find that I wouldn't have to buy a 2x4 sheet of black. The 2x2 is a great economical choice, especially for small projects and frag tanks. It is also more rigid the white you'll find in hardware stores. Black Egg Crate Rocks!!!! By Jason on 3/4/2010 Jason would recommend this product to a friend I purchased two sheets of black eggcrate and could not be more pleased. The holes are actually a little bit smaller than on the white eggcrate and so they seem to grip the plugs tighter. Also, the black eggcrate seems less inducive to algae growth than the white eggcrate. Two thumbs up. Great Product! By Travis Hatfield on 2/11/2010 Travis Hatfield would recommend this product to a friend Not a whole lot to say about this, its egg crate. Its good quality though and I definitely like the black better than the white. Was packaged well so didn't have to worry about it getting broke during shipping and is plenty big for anything that I'm going to need it for. Nice! By Stephen on 11/26/2009 Stephen would recommend this product to a friend Nice stuff. Much thicker then most of the white eggcrate you'll fine in local hardware stores. Also less brittle and easier to work with.

3/05 & 3/06 in Yankee History
On the 5th of March over the years…
2009: It is a day that Joba Chamberlain would just as soon forget as the Yankees get their second [bad] 2009 taste of World Baseball Classic play
in a loss to Team Canada. Joba allows a four-pitch
walk, single, walk, walk, and walk before Jonathan Albaladejo crowns the six-run top of the first by allowing a two-run Matt Stairs double, a sac fly and a single. The scoring, and just about all of the offense, is over, and the Yanks fall 6-0.
1973: Yankee teammates Fritz Peterson and Mike Kekich arrive at spring training and announce that they have swapped wives and families, including household pets.
1966: Kevin Brown is born. Happy 45th to everyone's favourite wall-punching pitcher!
1942: The Yankee Clipper comes in for criticism as the weekly entertainment newspaper Variety weighs in on 'droopy drawers' in baseball: «Joe DiMaggio and Carl Hubbell are the silliest looking pair we've seen. Way back in the days when the
speed boys were stealing 40 to 90 bases a year' you'll remember they
used to roll their pants just below the knee. Now they've got 'em almost
to their shoes. The theory here is that the constriction inherent in
the new style can slow a player a full stride getting to first.»
…and on the 6th…
1992: Yankee pitcher Pascual Perez is suspended for one year for violation of baseball's drug policy.
1986: Francisco Cervelli is born. Happy birthday to the Italian Stallion, and hope to see him back on both his feet soon!
1985: Enos Slaughter is elected to the Hall of Fame by the Special Veterans Committee. Though remembered primarily for his year with the St. Louis Cardinals, Slaughter spent much of the latter part of his career with the Yankees, and was in left field when Don Larsen pitched his World Series perfect game.
1977: Marcus Thames is born. Happy 34th to 'Tiny Thames'!
1969: In 7 spring training games, the designated hitter rule is used as an experiment for the first time. The Yankees' John Orsino (a recent acquisition from the Senators who will not make the trip north with the club) is the first DPH (designated pinch hitter, as the position is referred to) to get a hit, a single in a contest with his former teammates at Washington's camp in Pompano Beach, Florida. Orsino bats 6th and goes 1 for 4.
1965: Wally Schang, starting catcher for the first Yankee pennant winning team of 1921, dies at the age of 75.
Passing on the same day, at the age of 85, is Jimmy Austin, starting third baseman for the New York Highlanders in 1909 and 1910,
1922: Babe Ruth signs for 3 years at $52'000 a year. The next highest-paid Yankee player is Frank 'Home Run' Baker, at $16'000 annually.

Greenville, SC…South Carolina Department of Revenue investigators arrested a former Greenville resident today for failing to file his state income tax returns for a four-year period.
Phillip Jeffrey Day, 53, is being held in the Greenville County jail pending a bond hearing. Day is being charged with four counts of income tax evasion. He is accused of failing to file individual income tax returns for tax periods 2003 and 2005-2007. During the period, he filed with his employer an employee withholding allowance certificate claiming to be exempt from withholding tax.
The Department estimates Day owes $32,145 in individual income taxes for these years. The subject, who resides at Barnes Bay Anguilla, met investigators in Greenville.
Day is facing up to 20 years in prison and fines of up to $40,000 if convicted of all the charges.
The Greenville County Sheriff's Office assisted the Department of Revenue in Day's arrest.
