(CNN) -- Novak Djokovic escaped serious injury when a crowd barrier collapsed on him after his singles win at the Hopman Cup in Perth Monday.
The World No.1 had just beaten Italy's Andreas Seppi in straight sets and was signing autographs for young fans at the side of the court.
But as they pushed forward, the barrier gave way and fell onto the Serbian star's legs.
Clearly shaken, Djokovic went down onto his haunches with his hands on his knees before walking gingerly off court.
He canceled his post-match press conference while he received treatment, but did return later to play in the mixed doubles with Serbian teammate Ana Ivanovic.
A jet lagged Djokovic, who had only arrived in the western Australian city on Sunday evening after winning an exhibition tournament in Abu Dhabi, later played down the incident.
"I am good," he told gathered reporters. "It was a bit of a shock and I am glad that the children involved are okay. I am fine."
Djokovic is using the mixed team event as preparation for his bid for a third straight Australian Open title next month.
After his 6-3 6-4 win over Seppi, Ivanovic polished off Francesca Schiavone 6-0 6-4 to make sure Serbia made a winning start to their campaign with an unassailable 2-0 lead.
The 25-year-old Djokovic showed no ill effects of his injury scare during the dead mixed doubles rubber, but he and Ivanovic were beaten 7-6 6-4 by Seppi and Schiavone.
Hosts Australia are next up for the Serbians Wednesday as Djokovic tunes up for this defense of the opening grand slam of the season.
The action gets underway in Melbourne on January 14, but Rafael Nadal, beaten by Djokovic in an epic final in 2012, has already withdrawn after being hit by a stomach virus as he recovered from a long term injury.

The Cliff House was built in response to the unique site conditions and uses them to create a wonderful new private residence. The old house and boathouse were torn down to make way for a new, energy efficient and more structurally stable structure. Tucked into the side of the cliff, the house makes use of the earth's stable temperatures to moderate its climate. The main living quarters sit on one side, and the boathouse on the other with a protected courtyard in the center. A series of staircases, decks, and terraces create a variety of spaces for outdoor living and entertaining.
Up on top, the lawn continues out over the home and acts as extra lawn space and a green roof. The overall aesthetic is that of a boat's cabin with warm wood finishes. Large windows and doors open up to the environment and allow for a mixing of the outdoors with the indoors during warmer months. All materials were selected for their durability, longevity and ability to withstand the marine environment. These materials include copper, concrete, metal window cladding, and cedar. Besides the green roof and natural ventilation, the house also makes use of sunscreens and a tight envelope to maintain comfortable temperatures inside.

If drains had beauty pageants this one would be the winner. I love this drain. It's heavy, high-quality, and looks very sharp. I bought the satin nickel version of this and paired it with the Vigo Laredo glass vessel sink and it looks great! http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Vigo-Laredo-Tempered-Glass-Vessel-Sink/3442376/product.html I am EXTREMELY HAPPY with this purchase!
Worked great! Quickly shipped to job site and saved us $
I need the rubber gasket that goes on this drain. My dog took it and chewed it up...really
This is a quality pop-up drain.Looks geat. Works better than a standard drain.
Installed easily to go with two different vessel sinks we have. Sturdy/heavy!
I purchased this to accompany a vessel sink, also purchased from Overstock. This pop-up drain was true to specifications and fit perfectly. With just a slight press of your fingertip, you can close and/or open the drain. The finish goes well with my polished brass bathroom fixtures.
I ordered this pop up drain in bronze for our new 1/2 bath vessel sink. I just knew I needed to buy one, so didn't pay much attention during the purchase. It's beautiful and very heavy/sturdy. We bought a copper sink so it's gorgeous and looks exactly like the picture. It was really easy to install and came with detailed directions with lots of pictures (which I need). I definitely recommend over anything less expensive.
LOVE!! Highly recommend...I got to go with my vessel sink
Fit in our sink perfectly. the drain doesn't push down to become flush with the bottom of the sink tho. Giving the illusion that the drain is still open even when its pushed down and closed.
Works well for the lavatory vessel sink installation.

Drum Dance, 1970
coloured pencil, graphite on paper
102 x 65.8 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Gift of George Swinton in honour of Dr. Ferdinand Eckhardt on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the Winnipeg Art Gallery
© Public Trustee for Nunavut, Estate of Luke (Luc) Anguhadluq
Anguhadluq lived on the land until 1967 when, at the age of 72, he took up residence in Baker Lake in the Kivalliq region west of Hudson Bay. He had established a reputation as a successful hunter and camp leader, and soon became respected in his new profession as a graphic artist. A major retrospective of his drawings, From the Centre: The Drawings of Luke Anguhadluq, was organized in 1993 by the Art Gallery of Ontario. As indicated by the title of the 1993 exhibition, Anguhadluq's works were often organized around a central focal point. For the drum dance, one of his favourite themes, he usually arranged his figures radiating from around the central drum. The drum dance was held in a large, circular snow house on festive occasions, the circular composition reinforcing the sense of communal unity.

Questions and Answers
Got a question about the 2014 Easton S500 Senior League Baseball Bat: SL14S500? Ask our team of experts, and they will respond within 24 hours.Ask A Question
How long is the barrel?
Unfortunately, we don't receive barrel lengths from the manufacturer. Since the 2014 Easton S500 Senior League Baseball Bat (SL14S500) is a balanced bat, generally, the length will be about 10-11".
Has there been any feedback as far as performance is concerned comparing this bat to the Reflex? I know this is the "newer" model, but sometimes the older models perform better.
At this current time, we have not had a lot of feedback on the 2014 Easton S500 Senior League Baseball Bat (SL14S500) to adequately compare both the performance and durability to the older model Reflex. Both bats are manufactured from the 7050 Aircraft alloy material, so they will perform very similarly to each other.
My son is starting middle school baseball. I'm confused about which bats are legal. Can they use BBCOR bats or USSSA 1.15 BPF certified bats?
The 2014 Easton S500 (SL14S500 Senior League) would come with the USSSA 1.15 BPF certification. As far as middle school is concerned, rules are different all over the country. It is best to check with a coach or league director. The BBCOR bats are more restrictive and lower performing than the USSSA 1.15 BPF bats. You will not have an issue using a BBCOR bat in your league due to the more restrictive guidelines, but they are significantly heavier than the USSSA models. If you can use them, I would highly suggest a USSSA certified bat over a BBCOR for a middle school athlete.
Product Description
New for 2014! Introducing the SPEED Brigade; designed to increase bat speed at an affordable price. The all new SPEED Brigade provides players with the industry's best, balanced design and a lighter swing weight than ever before. By swinging this perfectly weighted ball crusher, hitters will see a dramatic increase in not only swing speed, but the power they produce. Made from Easton's high-strength 7050 Aircraft Alloy, the one-piece youth bat will certainly exceed expectations set by its price point. The S500 also features an ultra-thin 29/32 inch handle with a pro tack grip to deliver a satisfying feel and allow players to remain in control of their bat. With its drop 9 length-to-weight ratio, 2 5/8 inch barrel diameter, and a USSSA 1.15 BPF Stamp, the Easton S500 is ready to hit the field. Easton: Engineered for Glory! Rest assured, the Easton S500 is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty.
About Easton
Thank you very much. I coach a Little League team and I am on the board for our leage. I will be sure to let everyone know how nice it has been to do business with you.

By far, the most wonderful play that I have been witness to. The acting was very professional, especially the acting of Mr. Scrooge. The entire supporting cast did a magnificent job to serve as a back-up to the lead actor yet it was done so well that all the actors, at one point in time, were serving as the leads. Simply the best.

I Just can't say enough about the presentation of "A Christmas Carol". I've been going for 4 years now (3 of them at Ford's Theatre) and it gets better every time I see it. It never becomes stagnant or boring. I thought it might lose something with Ford's Theatre being renovated this year, but it actually was the most enjoyable of the four times I've seen it. The actors are perfect for their roles, even with a couple of changes to the line ups major characters. I'm a casual theatre goer but I can't wait to go back next year!!
What a great show, Scrooge was fantastic as where all of the cast members. A great time for all ages.

Lexus shows off LS reveal video, reminds us how strange debut events can be
by George Kennedy (RSS feed) on Aug 1st, 2012 at 7:30PM
Lexus has revealed more of the 2013 LS through a video 'news broadcast' of its unveiling ceremony. Through the party footage, we are able to seem more angles of the Japanese automaker's spindle-grilled flagship, which shares quite a lot visually with the slightly smaller GS. The Lexus shindig also has its own on-air correspondent, Jeff Krapf, to guide video watchers through the San Francisco event. Prior to the debut, Krapf recorded a canned interview with Lexus Global Marketing Chief, Mark Templin, which is here,too. Things get weird (at least for a vehicle debut) when Lexus brings...

This story has been updated.
WASHINGTON - The busiest abortion clinic in Virginia has closed, as state and city regulations appear to have made it more difficult for the facility to keep operating.
NOVA Women's Healthcare had operated in an office building on Eaton Place, just off Virginia Route 123 in the City of Fairfax since 2006, according to the Virginia Department of Health.
The clinic had considered moving to a facility where it could meet tougher standards for health clinics approved last year by the Virginia Board of Health, the Fairfax Times reports. But The Washington Post says the city denied the facility's permit, citing inadequate parking, and the clinic chose not to appeal.
Last week, the Fairfax City Council also voted to require a special use permit for all medical facilities -- a zoning change that some say was aimed at limiting abortion services.
The council amended its zoning ordinance to consider abortion clinics "medical care facilities" and to require such facilities to obtain a special-use permit plus approval from the council. Before, clinics did not have to get council approval and the city treated them as though they were doctor's offices.
It's not clear whether the clinic -- which also had faced recent lawsuits from its landlord on Eaton Place and in June agreed to pay back rent and vacate the space - - will reopen, according to the Post.
The clinic's closing comes as good news for Virginia Delegate Bob Marshall, R- Manassas, an outspoken opponent of abortion. But he says the new regulations are not just aimed at abortion.
"This was the considered, prudential judgement of public health professionals, not religous fanatics," says Marshall. "If this clinic can't cut it, they ought to be shut down."
But Alena Yarmosky with the National Abortion Rights League says the clinic's shutdown will make it harder for thousands of people to access health care.
"They went to the clinic because they were not able to afford care at other (medical providers)", she says
Yarmosky says 18 other women's health clinics in Virginia may face a similar struggle because of the new state regulations.

Esteban Gutierrez: "In total, it has been taking me some time to adapt to the track conditions and to the new package. At the moment, I don't feel very confident. I am not very happy with the car's balance. We had some issues with the power unit, so we lost quite a lot of time on track, which makes it more difficult to get a proper feeling for the car. However, we will do our best to sort these things out. We have data from Adrian's car which will help us to analyse the differences between the cars and to find the right balance for tomorrow."
Adrian Sutil: "We definitely made a step forward today. In the morning it was not easy to evaluate things because we had to solve some minor issues. However, I had a good feeling about the potential of our car, and during the afternoon was able to witness this. My fast lap was ok, but I think we can improve in every corner. If we can implement everything tomorrow, we certainly have a good chance to finish tomorrow's qualifying in the top ten. I am satisfied with today's outcome. We still have a lot of work ahead of us, but we are going in the right direction."
Jules Bianchi: "I think we have shown that we have made a good initial step with our updates today. It is never the case that you get everything from them immediately, so there is still plenty of work to do to understand how well they are working and where we can improve. With Max running the previous specification today we will have some interesting information to look through this evening. In simple terms we are closer to the cars ahead and keeping the Caterhams behind us, which is good."
Max Chilton: "It hasn't been an entirely straightforward day for me today and that can be frustrating when we have so many important boxes to tick. The primary focus today was achieving a good comparison between the two different aero specifications. We made good progress this morning so I was able to make use of the developments myself this afternoon. We lost a bit of time early in FP2 because of an engine problem and the afternoon was a little bit stop-start generally. I'm looking forward to evaluating what the new developments can bring."
Kamui Kobayashi: "That was a tough day for us, with lack of grip stopping us get anything good out of the car in either session. We used most of FP1 for aero evaluations, looking at the new parts we've brought here and also starting work on the setup options we have for the weekend ahead, but with the grip issue I really couldn't put a clean lap together in the whole session. It was the same in FP2. The track was a lot hotter than FP1 and it seemed to make the rear worse, but overall I couldn't find a decent laptime on any of the runs. We obviously have a lot of work ahead of us tonight to find a setup direction that will allow us to get back to the performance levels we're targeting, but we've had a few Fridays like this so far this year and we've always come back fighting on Saturday so I know we can be better tomorrow."
Marcus Ericsson: "Like Kamui, for me the low grip levels in both FP1 and FP2 dominated both sessions. I couldn't really push at all because for most of the day the car was switching from oversteer to understeer the whole way round the lap - to be honest it was a bit like driving on ice which is not what we want! For FP2 we made several changes but still had the same issue with grip. The traction levels were also very low and it was difficult applying the power, especially with the car moving around as much as it was. With all of this going on I didn't have a chance to put in a clean quick lap on the mediums, so the final times today are pretty meaningless for us and I'm sure we'll bounce back tomorrow. Even with the handling issues today we've still completed a good amount laps so we have a lot of data to work through and we'll get back to where we want to be."

Georgia: Dr. Christine Simmonds-Moore recently joined the psychology faculty at the University of West Georgia as an Assistant Professor of Psychology. Parapsychology first came to UWG when Dr. Bill Roll was based there. As a result, the university has a long history with regard to this topic, which is supported by an excellent collection of journals and books. It is now possible to study parapsychology at UWG alongside a number of other interesting topics related to humanistic and transpersonal psychology. Courses exploring parapsychology are offered at the undergraduate and graduate (masters levels). The master's program at West Georgia focusses on humanistic and transpersonal psychology. The psychology department also offer an Integrative Health Studies Certificate Program and a PhD program (on Consciousness and Society ) at West Georgia, and as such, it is possible for students to focus on a parapsychology related topic for masters theses and doctoral dissertations.

text: 3 Fantastic game with very limited game modesDuncanEdwards | 18/03/2012 | See all DuncanEdwards's reviews (153)When I first loaded this up I picked my club team and tried the different 5 a side modes. Amazing. Brilliant. Real kits, real players. Its bitesize FIFA on a fantastic range of mini pitches and an array of different modes to enjoy. So I tried to play in a league. NO LEAGUES for club teams, just one off games. Thats not good. AND YOU CANT PLAY WITH YOUR CLUB TEAM ONLINE. DISASTER. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING???? So all these teams in great kits and you cant use them. The World Tour mode makes you create a team and players. Something that looks decent but I really dont have time for. You build your team up with games in a single player. Online is just for you to play your created team against other peoples teams. This is a massive flaw as people who play a lot will have better teams. No more a pick up and play game. Gutted. What couldve been an excellent alternative to FIFA has basically alienated half of its audience!! People have disagreed with this but thats rubbish. This is telling you how it is.MANY people will be annoyed that you cant play club teams online BUT if you have the time to play noon and night and want to play your created team online then you WILL love it. IT SHOULD JUST GIVE YOU THE CHOICE

(taken from the thread in general and posted here as the resident Pali experts may be more likely to notice it)
"As a mother would risk her life
to protect her child, her only child,
even so should one cultivate a limitless heart
with regard to all beings." (trans. Thanissaro)
In a dhamma talk by Ven Thanissaro he mentioned that the phrase mentioned above refers not to the quality of the metta, but to the care and protection put into cultivating the metta itself.
"Some people misread this passage—in fact, many translators have mistranslated it—thinking that the Buddha is telling us to cherish all living beings the same way a mother would cherish her only child. But that's not what he's actually saying. To begin with, he doesn't mention the word "cherish" at all. And instead of drawing a parallel between protecting your only child and protecting other beings, he draws the parallel between protecting the child and protecting your goodwill. This fits in with his other teachings in the Canon."
What do those here knowledgeable about Pali say?

Looking for lending opportunities in this challenging economy? Look to the hospital market.
As an example of the financial power of the hospital sector, consider the financial performance of the hospital market in the greater Phoenix metropolitan area.
Though the Phoenix area was among the hardest hit by the housing foreclosure crisis and Great Recession of 20082009, general acute care hospitals located there posted impressive EBITDAR profits before, during and following the recession (EBITDAR: earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent).
Excluding the government-owned Maricopa Medical Center and Phoenix Childrens Hospital, there are 23 general acute care hospitals in the greater Phoenix area. Except for ordinary losses experienced in the first year following new hospital startups/openings, all 23 of the hospitals in the area posted strong, positive EBITDAR performance before, during and following the Great Recession.
Although the EBITDAR profits for the hospitals in the Phoenix market dipped by 9.34 percent during the fiscal periods ended in calendar year 2008, such bottom-line profits nevertheless exceeded a half-billion dollars, even during the worst recession since the Great Depression of the 1930s. Moreover, such bottom-line profits bounced back at a rate of 40.54 percent in 2009 to $740,908,682; and then further increased 9.19 percent in 2010 to $809,027,769. Now that, by any measure, is a profitable business sector and a testament to the power of the hospital business. This at a time that other sectors in Phoenix have been hard hit: residential, retail and hospitality.
If the hospital market in Phoenix is thriving, then the potential for hospital profits in your community may be even greater. Hospitals located in smaller communities tend to have less competition yet benefit from many of the same demographics that contribute to the success story in Phoenix.
As to loan security, note that real property in hospital real estate may include considerable entrepreneurial profit, as has been shown within the hospital sector in the greater metro-Phoenix area, for example.
Entrepreneurial profit may materially increase the market value of existing hospital real estate when the existing hospital real estate enables a purchaser of the real property to gain timely access to the profitable market (such as that in Phoenix), without having to endure delays related to permitting, design, construction and then stabilization of a substitute property. In a profitable market, time is money. And an existing hospital may present considerable premium value (entrepreneurial profit) if it enables timely access to that money.
In taking hospital real property as loan security, the potential market for the property is national. Market values vary considerably depending on applicable competitive market dynamics, as well as on age, condition and functional assessment of the hospital real estate. Recent pricing related to newer, state-of-the-art hospitals has been noted in the range of $400 to more than $500 per square foot of gross building area. That pricing pertains only to real property in the hospital real estate excluding tangible personal property value and excluding business (intangible personal property) value.
When considering lending activity in the hospital sector, underwriting due diligence, of course, must include assessment of the regulatory landscape as it may pertain to hospital reimbursements/funding.
Political Prognosis
Commonly known as Obama Care, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act presents the possibility that about 32 million uninsured residents may obtain health insurance. The resulting increase in effective demand for healthcare services would be positive for the hospital sector. However, even if the PPACA is repealed or drastically scaled back by Congress or declared unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court, note that hospital market profits, such as those in Phoenix, were not derived from the PPACA. And the prospects for such profits are considered to be strong whether or not the PPACA remains intact.
Although government budgetary pressures continue to ignite political discussions of possible reductions to Medicare and Medicaid, these sorts of discussions and political struggles are not new. History shows hospitals tend to prevail when proposed reductions in healthcare funding levels result in outcry from stakeholders in the system.
We see this from efforts to constrain federal spending on healthcare during the 1990s. The Balanced Budget Act of 1997 proposed major reductions in federal healthcare expenditures proposed to balance the federal budget by 2002. But, in 1999, due to political pressure the Balance Budget Refinement Act was passed, reducing the impact of the original BBA.
Is the federal budget balanced today as had been intended by the BBA? No.
Has the hospital sector survived and even thrived since the BBA/BBRA of the 1990s? Yes. The data in Table 1 for the hospital market in Phoenix says so, even though the general economy in Phoenix has been among the hardest hit in the nation in recent years.
Though politics of the moment may swing to the left or right, note that the hospital sector benefits from fundamental and powerful support of the baby boom demographic. The aging baby boomers have the financial and political power to influence laws and the allocation of resources. Therefore, demand of the aging baby boomers for healthcare services will provide strong support in the hospital sector for the foreseeable future.
Every hospital lending project is different. Diligent analysis of the hospital business enterprise will provide the foundation for accurate valuation of its component assets, including hospital real property pledged as loan security.
Community bankers may find well-secured profits by lending to hospitals.

BAZAAR recently asked cult designer Isabel Marant who exactly she designs for. "When I design, I do not work on a fantasy, but on reality: my aim is to dress real women in their everyday lives with clothes that have a function but also give an attitude," she explains. "As a woman of today, I know their needs and what they look for in a dress, but I also know how they feel in front of the mirror, which are their insecurities. I constantly try to solve these problems while creating pieces that express the energy of the moment."
Not long after hearing Marant's response, we saw this flawless photo of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in a dress from the Parisian designer's much-anticipated collaboration with H&M. Consider it a French and Swedish match made in heaven. What struck us about the image is that the actress-model was en route to a doctor's appointment, which so perfectly reflects Marant's quote about dressing women for their real livesnot a fantasy night out, not a one-off gala, but the everydayif the everyday could always look so chic. At H&M prices, perhaps it can.
See the 12 best looks from the Isabel Marant x H&M collection now, before it goes on sale November 14.

McLaren makes MP4-12C improvements official, current owners offered free upgrade
by Jeff Sabatini (RSS feed) on Jun 8th, 2012 at 3:45PM
McLaren has confirmed the rumored improvements to its 2013 MP4-12C, which we can now refer to as the "616-horsepower British exotic." The revised model carries a $239,400 base price in the U.S., which does not include $2,400 in destination charges. The 25-horsepower bump to the twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V8 is the biggest of the upgrades, but the MP4-12C also gets some transmission tweaks that result in "crisper throttle response and improved clutch control for gear changes that are both faster and smoother." McLaren says it has also changed the Intake Sound Generator so that the driver... Read More

Edwardian Meows: Enamel Gold Cat Pendant
Prior to the 18th century keeping a cat or dog as a pet was met with if not outright suspicion then it was viewed as morally questionable and wasteful. Art history gives us insight with the introduction of dogs and cats appearing with children and ladies in paintings of the 18th century. Moreover, it was said that the "intellectuals of the day (writers and artists) were known to keep cats as pets. Ladies of higher social strata (nobility, aristocracy, wealth) frequently pampered and coddled small dogs referred to as "comfort canines". As the 19th century rolled around more households had pets as the role of these animals shifted providing a service (e.g., a mouser) to that of companion or pet.
Dog motif jewelry has far surpassed that of the Felis catus or housecat and coming across a piece reduces the caterwauling and calls for a small series of purrs. An Edwardian era pendant of 14k yellow gold features a realistic rendering of the face of a cat. Our furry little friend is rendered in enamel decoration with a palette of subtle hues of brown, pale yellow, blue, pink, red, bronze and gold. Perky ears and old European cut diamond set eyes gives the feline companion a sparkling attitude. Its pert nose and little red mouth impart a contented demeanor and a friend for life. The three-dimensional pendant is hollow and comfortable to wear on a link chain or satin ribbon.
Date: Circa 1910.
Measurements: 1-3/16 inches (2.9 cm) in length including bale and 7/8 of an inch (2.3 cm) without by 3/4 of an inch (2 cm) at the widest. Weight of 4.1 grams (2.6 dwt).
Hallmarks: Worn 14k mark.
Condition: Very good; light enamel wear to high spots of ears visible with magnification; one diamond with a tiny edge chip only visible with a loupe; later date plate attached to back to hold the bale.

ALBANY, N.Y. - A contingent of New York Army National Guard soldiers is heading to Virginia to honor the sacrifices of the famous Irish Brigade during the Civil War's Battle of Fredericksburg.
National Guard officials say about 75 members of Manhattan-based Company A, 1st Battalion, 69th Infantry Regiment are taking part in this weekend's commemoration of the battle's 150th anniversary.
On Sunday, the soldiers will retrace the footsteps of the original 69th Regiment, part of the famed Irish Brigade. The brigade lost more than 1,000 soldiers in a matter of minutes while assaulting the Confederate lines at Fredericksburg on Dec. 13, 1862.
Members of today's 69th Infantry will tour the battlefield and meet up with soldiers from a Virginia Army National Guard unit whose lineage goes back to the Confederates' Stonewall Jackson Brigade.

Been There, Been That
I'll be honest: This is not the blog entry I'd intended to write, but given the posts over the last two days, inspiration struck while I wasn't looking.
I think Ol' Cap'n Sully is worth every dime of the $3.2 mill his agent was able to squeeze out of William Morrow. He's worth twice that if that's what Morrow was willing to pay. That's how the game works. Agents pitch books, publishers make offers and authors accept or decline. I know for a fact that if Pinnacle, my current publisher, had offered ten thousand dollars more than they did for my next book, I would have accepted it. Ditto a hundred thousand or a million or even five million. I'd be out of my mind not to. I'd expect nothing less (more?) from someone as sharp as Sully.
I think Mark Combes had it right in his reply to Michelle's post yesterday. Publishing is not a zero sum game. The fact that Sully got big bucks does not mean that someone else won't. I heard on the news yesterday that Crown is paying $7 million for President Bush (43)'s book on his most important decisions. That's $10.3 million in a single day from two different publishers. Will they earn out? I'm betting they come close, but I'm sure that from the authors' perspectives it doesn't matter.
I'm equally sure that as authors competing for shelf space in the same stores, it's none of our business. I find the sniping about such things off-putting.
Fourteen years ago, I had the honor to be one of the seven-figure first-novel news items. After decades of writing for my desk drawer, I'd achieved my lifelong dream--in spades. I think I've written in this space before about the thrill I feel being in the company of writers, of calling myself a member of the club that I've always dreamed of joining.
Unfortunately, my newsmaking advance barred my immediate entry to the club because I was assumed by some of my "colleagues" at the time to be a talentless hack who happened to bamboozle gullible publishers (23 of them worldwide) out of money that they could never earn back. Because I hadn't paid my dues, some of the authors I admired most wouldn't even speak to me.
Most notably, I was in New York attending an event when a well-respected midlist mystery writer introduced me to one of the Great Names as "John Gilstrap, the guy who made X on his first novel." The Great Name glanced at my outstretched hand and walked away.
Even though all of these authors understood how the game is played, their prejudice (jealousy is too loaded a word, and is too self-elevating) was focused on me—not on my agent and not on the publisher, but on me. I guess no one wants to burn bridges with agents or publishers. I have it on good authority that my advance in and of itself made NATHAN'S RUN dead on arrival as a possible nominee for a first-novel Edgar Award. (I'm not saying that I would have won, or even should have; only that I was told that the fix was in from the beginning.) That's tough stuff.
As for there being no zero sum game, I think it's interesting to note that one of the popular and woefully underpaid writers at the time—and one who always treated me very well, in fact took me under his wing—recently signed a reported $10 million book contract. Good for him.
Every year brings a new crop of newsmaking advances. Some of the recipients are celebrities, some of them are short-term headline darlings cashing in, and some of them are real authors beginning what they hope will be a long career. Each of these newly-anointed rich folks triggers a new round of behind-the-back sniping. I understand where it comes from, but I can't bring myself to participate. Been there, been that.

I agree with you, John. Captain Sully is as entitled to write as anyone else in the world, and he should get all the money he can for his efforts--especially when the airlines are too strapped to pay pilots what they're worth for flying us in their airplanes, as seems to be more and more the case these days. Captain Sully is my personal hero, by the way, and I totally hope all pilots are as good as he is. (Aside to Captain Sully if he ever reads this blog: Hi Captain! Way to go on that river landing, btw!! You totally rock!) As a reader, I would be much more likely to pick up a thriller involving a tense cockpit drama by Captain Sully than a book of poetry. Just saying. But a memoir, by him--yes.ReplyDelete
Regarding your larger point about advances not taking away from other authors--that must also be very true, John. I've not stood at the mountaintop to be able to appreciate that perspective yet (grin), but hope to be able to, one day soon!
Yes. People are still free to enter into contracts (AIG notwithstanding) so the money paid is up to the one with the money. It's a risk, of course, for both sides. Esp. with fiction.ReplyDelete
We should hope for success for the parties, because then there's more money to spread around.
Snubs like the one John writes about always fascinate me. I see stuff like that and go re-read the chapter called "Jealousy" in Ann Lamott's Bird by Bird.
What John, no haiku?ReplyDelete
I have no problem with huge advances per se - when a writer who has been toiling away on a manuscript for years gets a seven figure deal, I say more power to him. Those are, after all, writers. Prior to this week, I very much doubt Captain Sully ever referred to himself as an author (I also doubt he'll be writing the memoir himself-with this sort of deal, a ghost-writer is generally a necessity.
My argument was against the publishing industry glomming on to the media obsession du jour and throwing money at them.
Presidential memoirs are a very different beast-they tend to consistently sell well, since leading the free world for eight years should arguably produce a few good anecdotes.
Imagine how many new careers could have been launched for that amount of money, how many writers could have seen their dreams come true the way yours did. That's the sad thing.
Michelle, I tend to lean your way on this. But I also believe that we should never begrudge a fellow writer for his or her success. If we were all writing the exact same book, then we could compare advances, sales, etc. The good news here is that deals like Capt. Sully and Bush have made is proof that the industry is alive and well. We should all take that as a promising sign.ReplyDelete
Me? I just want to become the media obsession du jour. Or at least get paid like one. Then I hope the media mispells my name, in the announcements, not on my check, so that when I got to those parties like John talked about I can say, "Huh? That ain't me."ReplyDelete
John, thanks for coming to my defense. I thought I might get banned for life - although I have a pretty good idea where Joe Moore lives so watch out bub....ReplyDelete
Anyway, we are seeing a lot of "class envy" floating around these days. Hate to see it. I want everyone to succeed. Even pilots with questionable writing chops.
And Michelle, I can understand your argument. That a lot of great authors (such as yourself) could get a pretty nice boost with that dough. But remember, as much as we love books and words and authors, publishing is a business and publishers are in it to make money. So them glomming onto the flavor of the month might make my eye twitch, I understand that they are trying to capitalize on the market. And perhaps if Sully's book of poetry goes orbital there is more cash in the kitty for those struggling thriller writers trying to break into the biz.
You mean, if Sully's successful I may not have to do the hairy streaker version of "Snakes On A Plane"?ReplyDelete
It's metaphorical....
the size of the snake is totally in your mind.....
Show, Don't Tell
Mark, I have a fierce guard cat. You won't get by him unless he's cat napping. :-)ReplyDelete
I'm not bothered by the fact someone else is getting a huge advance. At least you know the publishers have enough money to do that, which means they aren't so likely to go under in this horrible economy.ReplyDelete
@ Mark Combes:
I'm ok with pilots and questionable writing background, but if that includes people who write their entire novel in one solid block of text, or anything written in chat speak...count me out. >.<
