Introduced at a mountain bog, this rare plant produces seedlings
By Carrie Radcliffe, Georgia Department of Natural Resources
Swamp pink had a red-letter day last October.
That's when scientists and students working at a Chattahoochee National Forest mountain bog uncovered the first known instance in Georgia of a swamp pink that had been planted to help restore this imperiled species actually producing seedlings.
Students from Southeastern Technical College in Swainsboro, Ga., had teamed with U.S. Forest Service and the DNR to help restore a mountain bog, one of the rarest natural communities in the Southern Appalachians. As workers cut and moved brush away from patches of sphagnum moss containing sensitive plants, botanists documented a surprise years in the making.
Since 1995, member organizations of the Georgia Plant Conservation Alliance have maintained collections of rare plants for conservation. The Alliance has also safeguarded rare species in native habitats, adding to existing wild populations from plants in cultivation and introducing plants in other suitable places. Mountain bogs are the most important of these safeguarded habitats.
One of the first safeguarding efforts involving mountain bog species revolved around swamp pink (Helonias bullata), a unique member of the lily family. In 1942, botanist Wilbur Duncan made the first recorded occurrence of swamp pink in Georgia, describing the plant's beautiful flower as rose-pink with blue anthers.
Swamp pink is now federally listed as threatened. Georgia represents the southern extent of its range. Here, the plant was once restricted to a single bog on private land where ditching and agriculture had permanently altered the site's hydrology.
Despite efforts to moderate the ecological damage, the bog has become overgrown and shaded, diminishing its ability to support rare bog species. Swamp pink is the only rare plant left. It persists by its thick rhizomes. Seedlings have never been seen here, and the last time the plants were observed blooming was in 2008.
Yet, Atlanta Botanical Garden propagated hundreds of plants using seed collected from this lonely colony of swamp pink. Many of those plants have been used to create safeguarding populations in the Chattahoochee National Forest, where volunteers with The Botanical Guardians keep close watch over them, reporting updates to the Georgia Plant Conservation Alliance.
In 2010, guardians saw that one introduced swamp pink outplanted nearly two decades ago had finally produced a flower and dispersed seed. This followed clearing around bogs earlier that year that increased sunlight on the areas, work funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
Then, last fall, the work group involving the Southeastern Tech students discovered many swamp pink seedlings next to the plant that had flowered and set fruit the year before!
Beyond this being the first documented swamp pink seedling recruitment in Georgia, researchers are excited because reproduction and recruitment are the first steps toward establishing a healthy population of rare plants.
Jennifer Ceska, conservation coordinator for the State Botanical Garden of Georgia, said swamp pink has been "a puzzle for safeguarding, and after 20 years of intelligent tinkering to finally hit on the combination of needs for this species to reproduce in the wild feels like a huge success."
Swamp pink is being safeguarded in three protected Georgia mountain bogs. Other rare bog plants and animals, such as mountain purple pitcher plant, Carolina laurel, Cuthbert's turtle-head, Canada burnet and bog turtles, are also being safeguarded.
Thanks to collaborative restoration efforts, these species restricted to one or only a few naturally occurring sites in Georgia are being conserved in managed areas – efforts their survival may depend on.

The Top 10 Cars for Audiophiles
Car stereo robberies are on the decline. So are sales of aftermarket audio solutions. Why? Factory systems simply have become too good, essentially making both theft and the aftermarket unnecessary. Thanks to ever-increasing commute times, modern cars feature practically all the entertainment and amenities you'd expect from your living roomin fact, many offer audio quality that puts home theater systems to shame. So if you're a car-shopping audiophile, checking the stereo system that comes with the car is more important than ever. Here are our ten top picks, including obvious luxury players and some surprisingly affordable examples.
By James Tate
2012 Volkswagen Jetta GLI
Starting with the 2012 Jetta GLI, Volkswagen is rolling out its new, 400-watt premium audio system by Fender, the American brand more famous for its Stratocaster guitars than its stereo equipment. After three years of cooperative research with VW and Panasonic, Fender has delivered a nine-speaker setup that emphasizes clarity at every volume. Although the collaboration may sound like a marketing ploy, the sound doesn't lie. For us, it's the new standard for entry-level automotive audio, easily surpassing the Dynaudio premium systems VW traditionally offers.

Read this recently by a man called Ray Stedman. Adapted it a little to personalise it, but what a great summary prayer to an excellent commentary.
My Gracious Father,
I ask that you who have called me with a holy calling, have imparted to me the Holy Spirit, and given me your Holy Word, may keep me and make me to be faithful.
Give me the diligence of a farmer, the discipline of an athlete and the dedication of a soldier that will make me equal to the times in which I live.
Father grant that my eyes may be lifted above the common place obscurity of my every day life to the great things that lie beyond the invisible curtain and see myself living constantly in your presence, even in this hour.
Challenge my heart to be strong in the midst of weakness, and to be faithful in the midst of that which is false.
I ask in Jesus' name,

Cold-pressed juices are booming in Colorado, including Whole Foods
- At October 07, 2013
- By Jill
- In Nutrition Concierge, Press, Uncategorized
- 0
Juice bars, juice menus, $8 single-serving bottles of kale-and-fruit juice at Whole Foods, juice "cleanses," even a juice truck. Upscale juice (not a glass of OJ, but elixirs made with things like dandelion, ginger, beet, chard, carrot, cucumber, mint, and much more) has been ascendant in Denver and Boulder for nearly a year, and along with the flood of beverages has come a good bit of talk about their benefits.
We will get into those alleged juicing benefits in a bit, but first, my experiment. I worked with Jill Latham, a registered dietitian who owns Vibrant Earth Juices, a Denver juicery and juice truck, to go on a three-day juice fast.
Latham's juices, like most of the nouveau concoctions, are "cold-pressed," meaning a hydraulic press squeezes juice from the vegetables and fruits. The method extracts more liquid, and because the machine does not have whirling blades, like most home juicers, the stuff being juiced does not heat up and thus "cook." Most people selling cold-pressed juices also trumpet that they are raw, or uncooked.
Either way, I wanted to see if I could get by on juices alone for a few days, if I indeed would feel more energetic, more "clear-headed," as juicing-fans say.
So on a recent Tuesday morning I gulped 16 ounces of kale, romaine lettuce, dandelion, parsley, celery, cucumber, apple, lemon and flax oil, and launched into my busy day at work…

North Carolina football players attended phantom class
By Cecilio's Scribe on Jun 11, 2012 with Comments 0
Suffice to say, North Carolina football has been in the headlines the past few years for the wrong reasons. Agents. Academics. Infractions and investigations galore. The Butch Davis era will not be remembered for its cleanliness.
The university's exploration of circumstances surrounding all the allegations continue, even as the NCAA pulls back following its doling out of punishment. The latest involves a somewhat humorous class that was shockingly well-attended by members of the UNC ball squad.
According to reports, AFAM 280, a class on "Blacks in North Carolina," was a summer school offering that mysteriously appeared on the curriculum days before the start of the semester. Shortly thereafter, the class was filled with 18 undergraduates! What a surprise, claimed its professor! Even more shocking was that 100% of the enrollees just happened to be on the football team. We're sure it was merely coincidence.
Students were aware that the class would involve "no instruction." Apparently, a 15-page paper was the only requirement. The class was "taught" by Julius Nyang'oro, the-then chairman of the African and Afro-American Studies Department, who resigned amid other accusations related to the UNC Football academic fraud scandal last fall and will retire on July 1st.
Now where were all those "instruction-free" classes when I was going to school?

Morning in brief: Greece passes austerity bill, Olympus makes ¥33bn loss
Athens sees rioters take to the streets after an unpopular austerity bill is passed, while City trade groups express their disapproval of a Europe-wide financial transactions tax.
Asian stocks continue their longest run of weekly gains since 2005 after Greece approves fresh austerity measures, while the yen falls on news that the Japanese economy has contracted, according to Bloomberg.
Japanese camera maker Olympus posts a ¥33.09 billion (£269m) loss for the nine months to the end of December as it continues to battle the accounting scandal that caused its share price to plummet, the BBC reports.
Five City trade groups, including the Association of British Insurers (ABI) and the British Bankers' Association (BBA), write in the Daily Telegraph that the European Commission's analysis of the benefits of a financial transactions tax is "flawed".
Disorder erupts in Athens after the Greek parliament approves a highly unpopular austerity bill to help the beleaguered nation secure a €130 billion (£108.9 billion) bailout package from the international community, according to Reuters.

Sweat, Sex & Success
Fitness is a key component for business owners. From the boardroom to the bedroom people take notice, and when you look good you feel great and that equates to more on the bottom line. Relationships affect business just as much as business affects relationships and it's important to take 12-20 minutes out of your day to increase metabolic activity. Exercise has been proven to increase focus, clarity, productivity, and stamina all leading to better sex and more success.
Darrin has helped executives shed more than 200,000 lbs. of fat and has done more than 20,000 consultations and what he finds is that our performance is linked directly to our energy and if we aren't putting the right foods in our body and spending time exercising we can leave thousands and in many cases millions of dollars on the table. Learning to amplify your workout so you can burn more in less time will help you feel great about the results you get in every area of your life. To learn more about how to sweat more and suck less reach out to Darren.

Our Conservation Approach
As part of our 2012-15 strategic plan, Audubon is implementing five main conservation strategies--Putting Working Lands to Work for Birds & People, Sharing Our Seas & Shores, Saving Important Bird Areas, Shaping a Healthy Climate & Clean Energy Future, and Creating Bird-Friendly Communities--that are crucial to tackling the key issues facing birds across the Americas.
In Latin America and the Caribbean we face many challenges including a huge push for increased infrastructure, the growth of sprawling urban areas, and, in many cases, few government protections. Fortunately we can turn to our vast network of 22 state offices, 465 Chapters, and 47 nature centers, which provide the foundation for sustainable conservation projects that aid our avian friends. We also work with BirdLife International, 19 BirdLife partners, and numerous other organizations in Latin America and the Caribbean to expand the scale of bird conservation in the Americas to the flyway level.
In Chile, IAP works closely with Centro de Estudios y Conservacion del Patrimonio Natural (CECPAN) to address threats to the Hudsonian Godwit (99% of the Alaskan population and 29% of the global population visit the area) and Whimbrel (61% of the Pacific Coast population visit the area). We have begun a long-term initiative with landowners on Chiloe Island to establish healthier ecosystems and protect the wintering grounds for the Hudsonian Godwit. This project focuses on implementing better stewardship of key natural resources on private lands, improving watershed quality, managing livestock and agricultural production in environmentally sustainable ways, and protecting the bays of Chiloe, which provide important wintering habitat for Alaska shorebirds.

Corsair Voyager Air review -
Installation and Initial Performance tests
Nothing is required other than the fact that you need a working host of some kind. So let's look at WIFI first:
By enabling WIFI with the button located at the front-side of the Voyager AIR the product will basically function as an access-point. So over WIFI it doesn't actually mount into your existing network, it creates one which you need to connect to. Please do realize that once you enable WIFI pretty much anyone or everyone can access the Voyager Air. With the help of the Voyager Air APP you assign password protection though, but the basics are simple .. this is open communication.
My tablet detects and connected to the Voyager Air at this stage. We have good signal, this is in the same room though. And good gosh man, there certainly are a lot of signals here in the lab. Once connected you can use the APP to browse the product. You can also connect to the device with your PC or Laptop, simply point the WIFI adapter towards the Voyager Air and once connected you can access the device through network options and copy files from and to it.
If WIFI is not your thang, with the help of the USB 3.0 cable we can connect towards the device as well:
Simply plug it in and you'll start seeing a new Storage unit called Voyager Air USB as shown above.
Once the USB 3.0 connection has been made you'll notice a new storage unit, in our case the E: Drive. It is already formatted and ready to use.
The Voyager Air also has an Ethernet jack. Simply add it to your network through a switch or directly towards your router. It will get a DHCP lease after which it will show up in your network:
Here we can see that VOYAGERAIR is present. It is a network accessible drive meaning you can map a driver letter to it, make sub directories .. extra HDD functionality really.
What about performance
We can already share with you that performance will differ per connection alright. On the next page we'll look at some of the tests charted in benchmarks. But the most simple thing we can do is copy a compressed MKV file (1080P movie) towards the unit over its threefold of connectivity options.
We copy towards a ram-disk so there is no client / server side lag or bottleneck. Let's look at some examples:
Above the USB 3.0 connection, we copy the file from the Voyager Air (VA from now on) towards the ram-disk. Roughly 113 MB/sec. Reversed we'd notice writes of roughly 50 MB/sec.
If we move to the Ethernet connector then we can read at roughly 51 MB/sec. Not bad, definitely enough for Full HD streaming over multiple streams.
Reversed however we see that over the Gigabit connection copying from a Ram-disk towards the VA resulted in roughly 20 MB/sec, this we feel is a little on the low side. And I'll skip the screenshots, but on WIFI we got roughly 5-6 MB/sec which almost 50 Mbps. But our office is cluttered with WIFI signals, do keep that in mind.

Citizens want Bing recalled
State Rep. John Olumba has asked the Michigan attorney general to investigate the transfer of the Detroit health department to a private nonprofit corporation. He has also asked the voters of Detroit to recall Mayor Dave Bing. Do you support the recall of Mayor Bing?
Yes, I support the recall. Bing hasn't done anything to help the people who need help most. Nor has he done anything to improve the condition of the city. He needs to go and he needs to go now.
Frederick Raymond
We should have recalled Bing a long time ago. He still hasn't told us his plan for recovery. All he talks about is cut, cut, cut. He never says anything about building.
Gary Kenley
Bing should be recalled. Everything is worse since he took office. The schools are in shambles; there are no jobs; the busses don't run on time; the grass isn't cut; the recreation centers are closed. It's terrible. We definitely need to recall him.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. (AP) - A six-alarm blaze at a San Francisco Bay Area machine shop forced nearby residents to flee and prompted a health advisory.
Fire officials say the blaze in Redwood City was reported around 5:50 a.m. Friday. It quickly grew to six alarms and damaged nearby residential and commercial buildings before it was brought under control about five hours later.
More than a dozen residents were displaced, though there were no reports of injuries.
San Mateo County health officials advised residents near the fire to stay indoors and limit outdoor activities.
The cause of the blaze is under investigation.

Exploding Piggy Bank Sends Coins Flying
November 8th, 2007
Put your cash in this bomb-shaped piggy bank and if you're not a good saver, you'll be punished. The electronic piggy bank waits for you to add coins too it every day. If you're not consistent, it'll explode, sending coins all over your desktop.
If you don't add coins each and every day, the bank will start to vibrate, flash its lights and make sounds once an hour until you pay up. If you don't get to it in time, BOOM! Coin-tastrophe!
Japanese toymaker TakaraTomy plans on releasing the exploding piggy bank just in time for the New Year, so you can start out 2008 right by keeping your resolution to save more money. It'll cost about ¥3,000 yen, or about 2,700 pennies if you're already starting to save up for one.

Stretching for 4132 miles and crossing through ten countries, the Nile is the longest river on the planet. For centuries this fabled waterway has brought life to an otherwise arid and hostile environment. During the 19th century, the river inspired explorers to go in search of its headwaters. Numerous expeditions were mounted to map its length. But none of those explorers ever managed to walk the entire length of the Nile from source to sea. That's exactly what two British adventurers intend to do when they launch a 12-month long expedition later this year. Levison Wood and Simon Clarke are in the final stages of planning for what they call the Walking the Nile expedition. The two men, who met and became friends while serving in the British military, say that they were inspired to undertake this epic trek by fellow countryman Ed Stafford. In 2010, Stafford famously completed a 4000+ mile long trek along the length of the Amazon. That journey helped Wood and Clarke come up with the idea of hiking along the world's other great river – the Nile.
Their journey will begin at the source of the Nile, located in the highland of Rwanda and Burundi. From there, they'll descend into the jungles of Tanzania and Uganda before proceeding upstream into South Sudan, the newest nation on the planet. The route will continue into North Sudan and eventually Egypt, the country that is most closely associated with this massive river.
As noted above, the entire trip is expected to take approximately one year to complete as the two men make their way over high bluffs, through dense forests and across oppressively hot deserts. Along the way, they'll encounter numerous cultures, diverse wildlife and groups of people who may be less than thrilled to have westerners in their midst.
While this will no doubt be an adventure of a lifetime, Wood and Clarke aren't undertaking this expedition just for their own personal gain. They plan to use the expedition as a platform to raise awareness of the challenges that Africa faces as a developing region in the 21st century, while also raising funds for a variety of charities. The duo also hopes that their journey will inspire others to get off the couch, head outside and find some adventures of their own.
The start date for the expedition has not been announced yet, but you can follow the team's progress on their Facebook page and Twitter feed. They've also just launched their Kickstarter campaign in an effort to raise funds to support their efforts.

Carburetor SpacersDo they really work?
Common consensus asserts that a carburetor spacer is a simple engine-tuning device, useable for only a select few applications, and they don't produce much extra power either. Sweet and simple, however that might not be completely true. Certainly in many cases they can be used to change engine characteristics. But they can also be used to find measurable horsepower (more on that later). Here are the bare bones basics of how a spacer functions:
What a Spacer Does
The addition of a spacer effectively increases the distance between the carburetor and the floor of the intake manifold plenum. In many cases, this straightens out the intake mixture flow pattern. Because of this added distance, the carburetor signal is weakened. And when the signal is weakened then larger jets in the carburetor will be required. Carburetor spacers designed with four separate holes tend to recapture the velocity of the mixture stream, which has been lost when an open carburetor spacer is installed. In simple terms, more exit velocity in the mixture stream creates a stronger carburetor signal than that found with an open spacer. Generally speaking, the jet size will still have to be increased when a four-hole spacer is used, but not as much as with an open spacer.
How much spacer should you use? As a rule of thumb, single plane intake manifolds seem to respond best with larger spacers (in the order of 2-inches in height and larger). On the other hand, most dual plane intake manifolds work best with open spacers with a height of between 5/8-inch and 1-1/2-inches.
Material World
When it comes to materials for spacers, plywood is a pretty good choice. Thin layers of laminated wood, bonded together with resin, form a natural heat sink. For example, a wooden spacer features top quality hardwood plywood with a sheet of phenolic resin-impregnated paper bonded to both sides. As expected, plywood spacers are easy to modify to suit a given manifold for optimum performance. On the other hand, pure phenolic spacers are constructed from an advanced composite material (similar to plastic), which can reduce heat conductivity 10 times greater than aluminum for a much denser air/fuel charge. Obviously, aluminum spacers are still widely available. The advantage in aluminum is that it can be easily modified for a given application. The disadvantage is that in some cases, an aluminum casting can be porous. Because of this, several manufacturers now offer billet aluminum spacers CNC-machined from 6061-T6 material.
So Do They Work?
For the most part, the answer is yes. Certain engine combinations respond more favorably than others, particularly to traditional spacers. But there's a new wrinkle in the world of carb spacers and airflow. It's called a "Super Sucker," and it's manufactured by a company named "HVH" (High Velocity Heads). Like others, it's made from an advanced composite material. And like others, most are 1-inch tall. And yes, the topside (carburetor mount side) looks like any other four-hole spacer. But the bottom (intake manifold side) is far different than anything seen before (see the accompanying photos). Ok. It's different, but does it work? We tested one with remarkable results:
The engine we used for our test was mild 355 cubic inch small block Chevy complete with lightly ported small valve heads. It's an efficient piece. A standard correction of 29.92 inches Hg., 60-degree F dry air was incorporated and the tests were done in a conventional A-B-A format (for the sake of simplicity, the final back up test isn't included. it duplicated the first test almost exactly). When we ran the baseline test, the horsepower peak was 432.4 at 6,300 rpm. The engine torque peak of 402.8 foot pounds occurred at 5,000 rpm. In truth, this is a pretty nice street engine with good manners. For test number two, nothing was changed, except for the addition of a four hole HVH "Super Sucker" carb spacer.
The little Chevy saw a power peak of 447.3 hp at 6,400 rpm, coupled with a torque peak of 413.2 foot-pounds at 5,000 rpm. Bottom line? The HVH Super Sucker added 14.9 HP and 10.4 foot-pounds of torque. It's a serious power maker. In theory, the two-inch tall model should have produced even more power. Common consensus regarding minimal power gains with a spacer just went out the window. What makes this thing tick? We presented that same question to High Velocity Heads.
"These spacers work, obviously, by helping the fuel distribution. If you look at the bottom of the spacer, you'll see that the shape is different. The reason is we wanted to improve the feeding of the outside runners on a single four-barrel manifold. The design picks up the air speed and gives it a specific direction. Finally, the plastic composite material insulates the carburetor."
HVH makes use of a Haas CNC mill to carve out their spacers from solid composite stock. Included in their product mix are spacers for 4150 Holley carbs (1-inch, 2-inch, four hole and two hole), 4500 Holley carburetors (1-inch tall, 2-inch tall four hole spacers), 4412 series Holley carburetors (1-inch tall open, 2-inch tall two hole). Down the road, should there be sufficient interest, they'll consider creating several different spacer designs for spread bore carburetors. In case you're wondering, these spacers aren't inexpensive (they can cost $100 or more), but in our book, that's still cheap power. For more, check out the accompanying photos.

Domain names are very important in establishing your internet presence. A great domain name like vending.com or vendingmachines.com is worth a lot of money. Not only could you sell that domain name for a boatload of cash you can also make money off all the people that will visit that site looking for vending machines.
If you are in the vending business you need to have a website so people looking for vending services can find you. Before you launch your website you have to figure out what domain name you are going to have.
The best one and the most easiest ones for your customers to remember is your name of you vending company with a dot com extension. If you are Bobs Vending then your domain name should be www.bobsvending.com
Also domain names play a part in your site coming up on the search results of Google and Yahoo. If someone searches for "vending service in Chicago" and you own the domain name www.chicagovendingservice.com there is a good chance that site could come up higher in the search results. It will come up even higher if the website has the correct search engine optimization done.
If you want a hassle free experience with your domain name then give VendCentral a call. We can search to see if the name is still available then we will buy the domain name for you and also be your technical administrator. We can do all the technical stuff for you like making sure the name servers are pointing to your hosting environment and also making sure it gets renewed each year.
VendCentral charges $20.00 per year to buy and manage your domain name for you. We are a lot cheaper than some of the domain registrars like Network solutions and Yahoo plus we are a lot easier to deal with.

CHARLOTTE — A developer and Dilworth neighbors sparred Monday evening at Charlotte City Council over a proposal to build a drive-through pharmacy and office building at a busy intersection.
Lincoln Harris wants to add a Walgreens and office space at the corner of Kenilworth Avenue and East Morehead Street. It is an area that is currently zoned residential. The proposal will not be voted on until October. However, Monday night was the last chance for Dilworth neighbors and planners to make their formal argument for and against the plan in front of the city council.
Dozens of Dilworth neighbors filled the government center Monday evening in solidarity against the rezoning proposal to add the Walgreens and office buildings. The plan would demolish five buildings, built between 1900 and 1927, along Kenilworth and Morehead to add the pharmacy and office space across the street from Carolinas Medical Center.
Dilworth neighbors argue the plan does not fit the feel of the neighborhood and fear a pharmacy drive-through will bring additional traffic to an already congested area. However the developer said they've made concessions and cut down on the project's scope.
"You've all driven that area. Have you ever once thought, 'Wouldn't it be great to have a one-story suburban style retail store on that corner'," said Charlotte resident John Fryday.
"We think what we are proposing is a better scale for that portion of town. It's only about 20 percent of what can be built under the existing zoning," said Walter Fields with Lincoln Harris.
The developer originally said the site could allow as much as a five-story parking deck, but decided against adding it to the plan after meetings with Dilworth neighbors. Around 1,100 people have signed a petition in opposition to the plan.
More from Monday night's city council meeting:
Council also voted to rezone some land in the Barclay Downs neighborhood to make way for an apartment tower.
Developers plan to build the eight-story tower on three acres at the intersection of Barclay Downs Drive and Morrison Boulevard. Some members of the Barclay Downs Swim and Racquet Club had objected to the project, but they eventually lifted their objections after working with the developers.
They also decided to delay a vote on whether to give $2 million from a federal program to rehabilitate the Mecklenburg Mills housing project in the NoDa neighborhood. Residents were forced out of the Mills in 2006 because of unsafe living conditions.
The Community Builders bought the property last year but said the rehabilitation costs would be more than expected.
Council said it wants more details and that it will consider the request again in October.

Soccer = Publishing (Because it's the Only Way I'll Care)
While this past month has had my very European neighborhood of Astoria, NY quite literally buzzing with excitement, I felt mostly bored. That is, until, I came up with this analogy. Soccer = Publishing!
Both have...
- Winners. You know, those teams that will obviously make it far. (I'm told Brazil is one of these teams. And now apparently Spain.) In publishing, these teams are called the Big 6 (the top six publishing houses). Or they are stores like Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com, or agents like Andrew Wylie. (If you don't know who he is, read this or this. Then feel free to be terrified.)
- Underdogs. The United States, for example, which is probably the only time we will ever be the underdog in anything, other than a "Can You Speak Two Languages?" contest. Publishing's underdogs are the indies. The locals. The ones you root for and support even when it's hard to do so.
- Competition. Publishing is insanely competitive (agents vying for clients, editors vying for projects, price wars, etc.). But, at its core, it's really just all for the love of the game. I don't think there is another sport as unifying as soccer.
- Divas. We call them "writers." (But we still love you.)
- A Tiny Fan Base (if you are in America). While publishing appears to be our whole lives - with blogs and tweets and personalities who become like celebrities to us - it is still a very small, very specific world that most other people don't know anything about, and care about even less. I'm pretty sure other countries still refer to us as the publishing industry though, rather than, say, football.
So, writers, when you get that request or sign that contract, sound your vuvuzelas because even though most people don't understand the things that we do or the words that we say (query? recoverable? galley?), there ARE people who care! And we want you to win.
15 comments:
I was rooting for England. (I named my bulldog after Wayne Rooney--there IS a resemblance.) My team did horrible. I hope this isn't a representation of my odds in the publishing world.ReplyDelete
Maybe I should volunteer to be the non-diva watergirl for Gryffindor. Bet that would help my literary mojo. ;)
HaHaHaHa, I love this: "The World Cup ended yesterday. Once again, Gryffindor beat Slytherin by 150 points after the snitch was caught in the final thirty seconds. Very exciting!" Enjoyed your Blog post today. I don't follow soccer, or any other sports for that matter, except for the Olympics which I usually watch for a few days whenever they're held. I do enjoy following publishing industry news, though, and loved seeing that compared to following soccer. :)ReplyDelete
Whatever, I don't roll on the field while the ball is in play when I get rejected. Or throw myself forward as if I've been tripped when I get constructive feedback. Diva? I don't know what you're talking about. :PReplyDelete
Scene: In a bar in Brooklyn this weekend.ReplyDelete
Me: Mom! Guess what? I'll be working with so and so for my MFA! Isn't that awesome? I'm so excited!
Mom: Do I know that person? What's an MFA?
Me: Friend, guess what? I queried so and so and they requested a partial! That's so huge!
Friend: What's a partial? Is that a good thing?
Yeah...I kinda get what you mean.
Love the analogy . . . especially the bit about a contest of whether or not you speak 2 languages. Hilarious! And I love soccer, so why not?ReplyDelete
Being a Canuck, we have a strong affinity with Holland and my cousin's family is Dutch. We were hoping for an orange victory, but congrats to Spain anyway.ReplyDelete
@Amye - "What's a partial? Is that a good thing?" Ha! Love it. On a similar note, I had to define "slush pile" to someone tonight.ReplyDelete
If I had a dollar for every time someone said, "When you're rich and famous..." after hearing I'm working on a book—well, it would be a start on the rich part. Like soccer, most people only know the big stars, the household-name type authors.ReplyDelete
the sad reality is that in my area of PA, most people thing a partial refers to unemployment. Makes for very unusual conversation.
Love this article! Very funny and really very dead on!ReplyDelete
Firstly, I liked the article. The comparisons are definitely apt, including (I think) writers being divas. Hopefully not too many of us quite reach "diva" status, but I know some of us can be very picky people. Sad, but true.ReplyDelete
Secondly, I don't have a Twitter yet, so I didn't know where else to post this. I found a very cool website that allows anyone to paste a sample of their writing into a text box, and it tells them what famous author their writing most closely resembles. I don't know what criteria it uses to make its determination, but it fascinates me. It also told me I write like David Foster Wallace. So, it helps the ego too.
It's called "I Write Like". Link is here: http://iwl.me/
Thought you and my fellow writers might find it interesting. :)
That link is fun, but I think I should give a pre-emptive "please do not put "An expert told me I write like...." in your queries!!!ReplyDelete
Also, I just pasted the intro to this post into the site and it said I write like Edgar Allan Poe. So, good for the ego, yes. But probably not very accurate.
PS: @josheverettryan - if you really do write like DFW, please submit to Glass Cases :)
My apologies! I didn't even consider that some people might try to use it for a query letter. It's not something I would even think to do. I apologize in advance if you start getting a lot of queries with phrases like that. Just to note, though, the site was covered in The New Yorker Magazine's blog. Hopefully that won't contribute too. :/ReplyDelete
I think it uses sentence structure as at least one of its main criteria. I'm not really sure, but you're definitely right that it's not very accurate. It reminds me more of one of those internet "personality surveys" than a real analysis. *Definitely* not meant as an expert opinion :P
Sarah: This is a little embarrassing to admit, but I *think* I'll have to, ahem, read Infinite Jest before I get back to you on that :) The invitation, though, is greatly appreciated. I love story time.
So sorry again! I hope this doesn't cause problems in your slush pile in the future.
Haha, it's OK. Writers who follow blogs and tweets and such are usually too smart for that sort of thing anyway :)ReplyDelete
Also, feel free to submit even if you don't write like DFW. When you're ready, of course!
@josheverettryan - I just pasted my YA-in-progress and it gave me David Foster Wallace!ReplyDelete

How to Get Hot Legs Fast
This is a fun routine that you can quickly do every night, giving you results in about a month.
1Play a song that is about 3 minutes long.Ad
2Do squats for the entire song. If you want to challenge yourself, hold a medicine ball or any other slightly heavy object.
3Repeat the song, or change it to another 3 minute song.
4Do calf raises (raise up on your toes and then come down) for the ENTIRE song. Be prepared to ache a bit - it will be worth it!
5Turn on a song that lasts 2-3 minutes and move to a wall. Sit with your back straight, making sure your thighs are parallel to the ground. Hold this position for the entire song if you can, or at least until your legs start to shake.
6Do Wall Sits. Find a flat wall and lean against it, standing straight up. Slowly squat down, as if you were sitting in a chair, and keep leaning against the wall. Do not adjust your position. Play another song for about three minutes, and keep your position until it is over.
7Stretch. Stretching will help build long, lean muscles and prevent cramps.
8Relax. Also exfoliate with a salt or sugar scrub and massage a lotion of your choice on your legs.
9Repeat steps 3-6 times a week. Remember that it will hurt a lot for the next few days, and without the perseverance, you will not be able to continue. Make sure that you also do not have any sports competitions or PE in school within this week as your legs will not have enough energy to hold up for that much effort for the first few days you are doing this routine. And finally, show em off!Ad
We could really use your help!
business writing?
glue removal?
- Do some squats to tone your legs and even your butt! Squats are amazing for your legs, but beware they can make your butt get enlarged.
- Don't give up! Giving up will not allow you to get the legs you want, and it won't be worth all that pain and time you lost already!
- Do it at your own pace. Try a shorter song then eventually work to a 3/4 minute song.
- Avoid getting scratches on your legs. if you notice that your legs are a bit dry, try applying some lotion.
- Shave your legs and moisturise. If you have sensitive skin, do not use scented lotion. Rather opt for fragrance-free lotions or natural oils (like grape seed oil, coconut oil or tissue oil). Wait an hour or so before moisturising if you have ultra sensitive skin.
- Drink water! Make sure you keep yourself hydrated. You don't want to be tired and dehydrated. Drinking water results in beautiful skin, and you want your skin to look good.
- Stretch BEFORE you exercise.
- If you do end up really sore the next day, wait until your pain subsides before you do the same workout (stretching, doing very light cardio, and hot baths will speed this process), but MAKE SURE that you do go ahead and repeat the workout once you feel better - you won't get nearly as sore and you'll soon be able to do the same workout (or a tougher one) regularly!
- These exercises are very tiring, but if you stick through until the end, you will be rewarded with hot legs.
- If you continue, even if you are sore, the soreness will subside by the fifth day.
Things You'll Need
- Any type of music player
- A wall
- A medicine ball or heavy object (optional)
- Body lotion
- Perseverance
- Motivation

The 12-hour training program was presented by the Alabama Division of Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries archery instructors with assistance from Rod White a two-time Olympic archery medalist.
During the training, physical education teachers learn about archery history, safety, shooting form, and competition. The teachers learn, for example, that the National Safety Council rates target archery safer than football, baseball, basketball, tennis, soccer and even ping-pong.
To qualify for the program, each school must agree to utilize a unit of study called, "Archery: On Target for Life." The school must also send its physical education teachers to a 12-hour National Archery Association instructor-training course. Each participating school also agrees to purchase a standard set of modern archery equipment designed for safety, universal fit, and ease of use. The equipment kit retails for $4,800 but thanks to support from several manufacturers within the archery industry, it can be purchased from Brennan Industries for $2,410.50. Brennan Industries manufactures the bow used in the "Archery in Schools Program."
Commissioner Barnett Lawley of the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources stated, "I am excited about this partnership between the State Department of Education and the Division of Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries. This is an opportunity to positively influence thousands of young Alabamians and provide them with the ingredients to become involved in a life skill that has no barriers. Unlike many school activities, students of all sizes can easily be involved in archery."

Man who kicked wife, sending her baby over balcony, gets 21 years
By Rummana Hussain Criminal Courts Reporter firstname.lastname@example.com
Jeremiah Elijah Williams was only 5 weeks old when the man who claimed to be his father sent the newborn crashing to his death from a third-story porch.
On Tuesday, Jason Range was sentenced to 21 years in prison for the 2009 incident that stemmed from a heated argument between Range and his wife, Jeremiah's mother.
Range's wife had confronted her husband, possibly to tell him she was moving out of their apartment in the 8200 block of South Maryland, police said at the time.
During the argument, she grabbed a car seat, which Jeremiah was sitting in. Range kicked his wife — causing the car seat to fall from the third-floor railing. Jeremiah fell out of the seat and hit the ground, authorities said.
Although Range told police he was Jeremiah's father, the boy's mother said another man fathered the child. That man, D'Angelo Smith, also said the baby was his.
Smith said it was hard for him to accept the fact that he cannot hold the child again.
"He was only 5 weeks old. His life had just begun," Assistant Cook County State's Attorney Nina Ricci said, reading from Smith's victim-impact statement.
"Life has been so different and difficult. It has been very hard to continue as if nothing happened. I can't get the image out of my head, seeing my child in a coffin as well as burying him. No parent should have to do this."
Range, 22, was convicted of involuntary manslaughter, aggravated domestic battery and battery.
