Bio and Links
"It wonders me," heard in a lecture from a professor at Monmouth College (IL).
Learning and sharing stories is what I find facinating... death and survival stories accorded by Native Indians, ancestors present at the same engagements of Union and Confederate relatives during the Civil War; ones whom made a difference in the lives of others; and in particular, locations where paths crossed (of family ancestors, well before my wife and I personally met by over one hundred years!
A striking story of a relative whom gifted a black child as a wedding present to their daughter can be read by reading the story of
Ann Melinda "Black Ann" Lewis Hilliard
A link to my ancestral past:
Oh let me not forgotten lie,
Lest you forget that you must die;
For Death's a debt to nature due,
Which I have paid and so must you.
Esther (Reed) Edgerton [1766-1792]
Remember those old puzzles that sat in Grandma's closet that were used and abused by all of your older cousins and siblings — only getting dragged out again when the old folks started talking genealogy and there was nothing else for us kids to do?
Inevitably, there was a missing piece or pieces where some of the picture is torn away. The family line is reported to be true, but the participants arn't around to tell us if the pieces fit better somewhere else!
Yet those puzzles can still be assembled. There might be a few holes here and there, but the frame is together and there is a connection from side to side and top to bottom. The picture is not as clear as we might like to see it if we wanted a print to frame and put on the wall, but you can still tell that it's a lion, or kitten, or pig, or whatever sort of puzzle you intended to put together. (Let's not get started on knowing when the pieces from the pig puzzle get mixed in with the lion puzzle – that's a whole story unto itself.). Let's all help to get the picture right again!
Have a great day!

The Devil Within (2009)
Fear 2/5
Gore 2/5
Entertainment 5/5
Creepiness 2/5
T&A Factor: 5/5
Well I survived my bachelor party. An all around amazing weekend. I think the highlight was the stripper who almost roundhouse kicked me in the face, then proceeded to stroke her penis fly trap, purred, and said 'MEOW.' I've never laughed so hard while having a lap dance before. In recovery mode yesterday, I popped in this little indie number. Shiver me timbers and hit me with a burger slathered in surprise sauce, this teeny weeny low budget horror film brings the goods!
After a man brutally murders a hooker in a motel room to open our film, we are brought to a high school with your stereotypical horror schlockfest line-up. Jocks, geeks, Mean Girls, yadda yadda, you get the picture. As the kids carry on a regular school day, we come to find out that one of the girls is celebrating her 18th (AKA she's legal) birthday, and that her friends have planned a house party later that evening. She's called in to the principal's office and right away, we identify Mr. McCreepy principal (who's played exceptionally well by Bill Oberst, Jr.) as the guy who waxed the streetwalker at the beginning of our film. He tries to give her a birthday present but she rebuffs his gift and bolts out of the office.
Before we get to our party, a goth girl, who's a target of the meano slutbags of the school, comes home only to take more abuse from her alcoholic tyrant of a father. We are also shown that she is stricken with a case of severe obsessional love with our girl celebrating her official of adult age turning. Stalking her via MyMcFacePage, she professes aloud her love for her while hiding out from the abusive slugs of her father.
Our soon to be debaucherous kids get out of school and as they head home, partake in the birthday requests of their friend and her douchey jock boyfriend. What do they decide to do? Get matching tattoos of course! As they walk down the city streets (stars on the sidewalk, smog, yep it's turdtastic LA), they run into a street preacher who warns of an impending doom for our gaggle of goofy high schoolers.
After the kids get their tattoos and run into our soothsayer once more, they head to their friends house to set up for that night's festivities. In a couple of hours, the party gets into full swing, complete with topless girls in the swimming pool. Let's see: douchey kids, drugs, ta ta's and sex. What horror sub-genre do these fine ingredients belong to? Slasher films? Ding ding ding, what do we have for our winner, Johnny.....
So after our jock bangs his birthday celebratin' girlfriend upstairs, he heads out to the bathroom across the hall and bangs ANOTHER hot girl in the shower while his girlfriend waits in bed. Pimp-A-Licious! As his clueless girlfriend dozes off, she's accosted by our creepy principal. The boyfriend comes back only to find his girl completely covered in blood and strapped to the bed. It's all down hill from here folks and our party goers start getting offed one by one but not by our pedophilic principal. Instead, a hooded assailant who's been stalking the party and becoming increasingly more jealous of the girl and her douchey jock boyfriend makes themselves known.
What I like about this film is the employ of the red herring to such great effect. The completely unsuspecting way that the 'grand reveal' of our killer kind of crept up on me and smacked me over the head was such a great twist. After our grand reveal, a series of shots and flashbacks are shown: our assailant stalking our party goers, starting in on her plot while also taking out the man whom we thought was the killer, all from their vantage point, was both interesting and well executed from a conceptual standpoint. A slasher movie that is original and brings something new to the table conceptually? Yes, it can happen and it just did. My only gripe was the ending which felt a little rushed.
Check this one out through Seminal Films. You'll be glad you did.

I should have better checked the Seminal Films site as there does not appear to be any specific DVD or Netflix release date. My bad.
But if you are on the LA area, you can catch a showing.

The Shun Classic series of knives all have two-sided blades. The need for a left handed version is due to the handle design. Marketed as a "D" shaped handle, it is designed to contour into the joints on your fingers for a firm, comfortable grip. On the left handed version of these knives, the lobe, or protrusion in the handle is on the opposite side to comfortably fit a southpaw grip.

@mojo: No, that's what all the frozen bank accounts will be used for. Except, of course, that those accounts would/could pay only a small fraction of the claims.

Oak and Walnut Hardwood Flooring.
Selected sawn hardwood (Oak floors and Walnut floors), following a considerable period of natural, gentle air drying, is kiln dried to an average moisture content of around 10 per cent relative humidity. The hardwood is then, in the case of solid wood flooring, precision machined to a robust tongue and groove section and has its ends precision cross cut and matched, to the same profile, thus providing a precise fit both from edge to edge and from end to end. In the case of engineered wooden flooring, precisely sawn hardwood veneers (of 6mm or 2.5mm thickness, depending on the range of floor boards being manufactured) are carefully kiln dried and bonded to a premium quality plywood backing, normally manufactured from Birch or from a combination of Birch, Poplar and Eucalyptus wood plys. The engineered oak floorboards are then precision machined to a tongue and groove section with precisely matching ends, being profiled with a tenoner, using the exact same machine tooling. The precision machined oak floor boards are machine sanded (wire brushed if appropriate) then processed through state of the art finishing lines, to a variety of beautiful aesthetic finishes (having been smoked/fumed/distressed where appropriate.)
The finishes available include:
- Lacquered (3 base coats + 3 top coats)
- Oiled (1st initial coat + dry + de-nib + 2nd top coat + dry)
- Brushed & Oiled
- Smoked, Brushed & Oiled

Law enforcement unions are hoping the Legislature will pass a bill that allows K-9s to stay on the job instead of being quarantined after biting crime suspects.
The bill, House Bill 2605, removes the 72-hour quarantine requirement for K-9 officers who bite suspects. It is being sponsored by Rep. J.D. Mesnard (R-Chandler) and made its way out of the state House's government committee last week.
Mesnard said the bill's intent is to make sure the state's 400 K-9 officers stay in service after biting a suspect, which is something the dog is supposed to do only under command, such as during a home invasion, a business invasion or attacking someone with a weapon.
The bill is being supported by police unions around the state, including the Mesa Police Association which has the second-largest police K-9 unit among city police departments in the state. Mesa has 13 dogs serve on patrol and in drug and explosive detection. The association supported the bill early on.
The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office has the most K-9 officers in the Valley (24). The Arizona Department of Public Safety has about 30 dogs.
Chandler, which began its K-9 unit in 1974, has five K-9 officers, and the Gilbert and Tempe police departments each have three K-9 officers, according to their web sites.
Levi Bolton, the legislative liaison for the Phoenix Law Enforcement Association, said they began pushing for such a bill about a year ago after one of the smaller agencies is represents came to them expressing concern that their dogs were being taken off the streets. That department has a limited number of K-9 officers.
Bolton said Arizona would be following similar laws that about 18 other states have in place involving police K-9s.
"These animals have better medical records than you or I," Bolton said. "They're a valuable tool, a well-trained, well-hone tool. If some of them are doing double duty, such as a narcotics dog or a bomb-sniffing dog, taking them out of service can be critical. We're looking for a statutory provision that would allow for animals that have regimented vaccinations and check-ups not to be quarantined, but to be monitored in the event they start acting differently after a bite."
State law requires unvaccinated dogs to be quarantined for 10 days after biting someone. K-9 officers are vaccinated.
Brian Livingston, executive director of the Arizona Law Enforcement Association which represents 23 law enforcement agencies throughout the states that have K-9 officers, said Friday that taking one of the dogs out of service is like taking an officer off the streets and would be critical to smaller police departments that only have one K-9.
"If you think of an officer being out for 72 hours, that's being out of service for nearly one week, and that is excessive in our minds," Livingston said. "The dogs already are well-checked medically and undergo rabies testing. Our concern is keeping the dogs in service and not so much litigation or being sued when someone is bitten."
Most of Mesa's dogs are Belgian Malinois bred in The Netherlands or Belgium. The unit also has two Labrador retrievers, one black and one yellow. The cost of a K-9 officer alone ranges from $5,000 to $8,000.
Under the bill, the dog's handlers would be required to report whether the dog is behaving abnormally after it bites a suspect. The bill will next be discussed before the full House of Representatives. If passed, it would progress to the state Senate.

Back to the Future
January is always a good time to look forward to the coming year, but it's also a good time to look back at where you came from. Sometimes, it's good to look way, way back.
Today, I looked back to 1974, and a scanned article from Custom Chopper magazine that talked all about a motorcycle rally in the California redwood forest, and more importantly, what went into planning that event. Some of these things might be familiar to you, some might not…
First, you had publicity. This was an invitational event. Back then, that meant calling people on the phone, talking to them in person or even sending them an invitation in the mail- no Facebook, email blasts, Twitter or Zvents back then! But what if it's a public event? Well, it was all about fliers, advertisements in newspapers and magazine, posters on lamp posts and in stores, bars, phone booths and anywhere else you could stick them up, word of mouth and a good network. Networks are still important today, but they're a lot faster!
Then, you have organization. According to the article, people came from Stockton, Hayward, Concord, even Fresno, all the way up to the North Coast. Nobody used Google maps or email confirmations, they just sent in their registration (by mail!) and took off on faith. The camp ground was organized either by phone or by mail as well, or maybe Jeff McCann rode his motorcycle all the way up there from his shop in Stockton. Either way, there was no online form.
And food? Food was all catered locally and cooked on site. Custom Chopper writes that the attendees consumed 125 cases of beer, a 200 lb pig (and 7 extra hams), 25 gallons of baked beans and "an undetermined quantity of macaroni salad." Today, you couldn't get away with that in Northern California- there would have to be some sort of vegetable option for the non-carnivores. Oh, and the beer? Forget about that much alcohol and no non-alcoholic beverages at an event where almost everyone is driving their own vehicles. We've come a long way in safety, as well as technology.
Security? What security? Despite a bunch of bikers descending on a remote camp ground by the Eel River, the local constabulary limited themselves to a quick check, and were satisfied with a promise that everyone was behaving themselves. Today, there would be a swarm of private security running around in yellow jackets and probably a few cops as well, just to keep an eye on things. There would be a medical staff, organizational staff, insurance, maybe a corporation or a non-profit running it all, and forget about the band playing for 9 hours straight on the back of a truck.
Finally, there's the legacy. Today, that event would be all over Facebook, Google+, Twitter, etc. Every moment would have been recorded on a cell phone and uploaded, shared and shared again. Back then, it was stories told over a beer at the local watering hole, a few blurry snapshots and a three-page article in an industry magazine. Whether it was about respect or lack of opportunity, privacy was assumed. Nobody knew who drank too much and made a fool of themselves unless they were there or knew someone who was, and it certainly didn't make Most Watched on YouTube.
Things have changed a lot in the past 35+ years, but a lot has stayed the same. You still need publicity, organization, feeding the masses, security and some way to manage your reputation afterward. People still eat, problems will still arise, they will still be dealt with, and in the end everyone will have had a great time. Only now, it's on YouTube.

Re: It only just clicked
I went through 2 of the 16GB N7's - each time I sent them back complaining that the system was as slow as molasses when you began to fill up the memory. Both times they replaced the glass and sent it back as 'fixed'. I don't think that they officially addressed that issue. Horrible.
Congratulations, freetards: You are THE FIVE PER CENT
Audible.co.uk have got it right.
As an avid fan of audio books, I have to say that Audible have got this digital 'try before you buy' thing nailed.
As a full member they allow you to download and listen to the book for anything up to 12 months and if you didn't enjoy it you can simply request a refund or return of the credit or exchange for another title.
I have around 100 titles in my library and so far audible have swapped or refunded around 15 books for me, sometimes months and months after I had read them and was either bored stupid by them or gave up halfway through. No hassle, no questions just a straight forward exchange or refund.
THIS is how it should work with films too. Too many times I've been told about this 'wonderful' film which looks OK in the trailer, only to want to walk out after 20 minutes through boredom...*anything Hollywood usually). In such cases punters should be able to swing by the booking office and get a partial refund or ticket exchange for something else.
'End of passwords' predictions are premature - Cambridge boffin
Re: Biometrics?
Sure! Laptops with scanners are only submitting the pre programmed password into the system, after all. You can just side step this process and enter the password. But if this process was mandatory and complimentary for all forms of password submission it would provide a helpful extra layer of security.
I wouldn't be concerned about the scanner 'packing up' any more than i would for any other non moving part of the PC besides, you can always plug in a spare finger scanner on a PC.
I'd like to see all phones and tablets adopt an industry standard finger scanner too. Of course, Apple will do their own thing and insist on using an anus scanner for all their products and then sell a finger adapter ;-)
A few years ago I bought a family member a laptop with a built in finger pint scanner, he was always forgetting his password to log in. I thought that it was a bit of a gimmick and probably wouldnt work reliably enough to be used a on daily basis...but it's been fantastically dependable and really easy to use.
Yes, have complicated passwords by all means but we should also be layering security with several levels of authentication such as finger print scanners, iris scanners and voice pattern recognition.
CTech Astronomy ;-)
Brits are so outraged by Amazon, they voted it TOP for shopping
Amazon - The template for ALL other online retail businesses.
No surprise to me. I can't stand shopping and yet I think i'm suffering an Amazon addiction. Their customer service has been so obscenely good to me that I'd feel guilty buying anything elsewhere!
They once shipped me some very expensive PC speakers and I called to explain that the box had been dropped and damaged badly (speakers inside were perfect) - they sent me a new set and actually let me keep the other set in the damaged box...at no added cost! When ever something breaks or fails they will ship a replacement out within 24 hours and give a 2 weeks to return the faulty item at my leisure...and they pay all the postage. They are bloody superb.
I couldn't care less about the tax situation - that's a UK law problem. I'd rather have much lower taxes and much more business transactions than heavier taxes that push enterprise away from the UK. But then again, that wouldn't feed the coffers of the self-serving, massively bloated government, would it?
Man, 19, cuffed after burning Remembrance poppy pic is Facebooked
Offensive to some? Yes. Insensitive, stupid, ignorant, tasteless & disrespectful: absolutely. Illegal - No. He just makes himself look like a moron.
Offending people isn't a criminal offence. If you own it, then burning a Koran, Bible, poppy or any other symbolic object is your choice to make. Society will judge you, no need for police action.
Why is 4G so expensive? Answer: The Post-Voice Era is coming
EE pricing must be a joke, right?
Prices should come down over time, not increase.
I'm very, very content with my 24 month SIM only contract with 3.
500 mins / 500 texts and unlimited data. I regularly see 5-10MB/s all over the UK, which I also use for tethering (no extra cost). Some months I'll use 5GB and others only 1 or 2. I can't imagine I'll be needing or wanting anything faster than a solid H+ signal on 3G, I already use Skype on the go without any issues. Cost = £11 p/m including VAT! (& 3 gave me a free phone which I sold for £60)
4G should be a 'no cost' behind the scenes update. It's taken over 5 years for networks to finally deliver on promised 3G speeds!
O2 dropped the ball in Olympic cycle race Twitter fiasco
"There was a capacity issue with Box Hill at the weekend," an O2 spokesperson told The Register
I just love that quote, genius. That person needs a pay raise ;)
What he meant to say was "Sorry, we completed effed-up. We totally underestimated the number of people who would be speculating. As a result O2 were utterly unprepared to supply any of the services we had been contracted to supply over the course of this event."
Then followed up with "Due to the (even further) humiliation we have brought to this shoddy network and following O2's previous network crash earlier in the month, our complete incompetence is self evident, as a result we are folding the company, the CEO has resigned and we will be giving all customers a cheque for £1000 and a Three UK PAYG SIM card. Sorry, again." :)
Asus Transformer Pad TF300
I've just exchanged my 3rd unit at Curry's due to horrendously patchy light bleed on the screens.
I think that they either had a poor batch or that Asus's QC needs improving...or both. Although the light bleed isn't a big issue (even bad examples) in everyday use, I found it to be very distracting when watching films or with apps with a black background.
Curry's were great though, i'll give them their due. The took one look at each, agreed on the spot and replaced it. No hassle.
I was updating from a TouchPad, and actually found the TF300 very thin to hold comfortably in large hangs! The screen was bright enough (just) and colours were not overly saturated, for better or worse. Overall the unit was adequately robust. But i prefer a more substantially constructed tablet: ie TouchPad, Prime, iPad, Acer 510 etc...
I found that the battery life of the tablet alone, was less that my HP TouchPad but the combined Tab & Dock was a couple of hours more. The connectivity of this tablet is killer. Fantastic. Full SD and full USB support on the dock and MSD support on the tab means that you can have a 96GB Tablet with a 64GB MicroSD card and 32 on board, and have 128GB SD card in the dock with USB support for HDD's, DVD players, USB->Ethernet adapters etc...
Ultimately though, I have now decided that Android is a perfect phone OS and not so great tablet OS. I've been running an SGS2 for ages and love it. Sadly the Android experience on this tablet just didn't do it for me. I think it's more to do with the way I expect to use a tablet versus a phone and also the hardware implementation. I've decided to run the Android phone along side a jailbroken iPad.
Anyway, it's a fantastic little tablet that really is a jack of all trades.
Assange loses appeal against extradition to Sweden
The law is an ass.
I'd rather the European arrest warrant system 'collapsed' & they re-wrote it, than the UK extradite a man who has had no charges laid against him and has been under house arrest for 539 days and is in the process of one of the most convoluted state sponsored stitch-ups in history.
I haven't read the full judgement yet ( http://www.supremecourt.gov.uk/news/latest-judgments.html ) but maybe there is still chance to appeal & restore some sanity before the US authorities start to get too excited.
China turns on the sprinklers with ambitious rain-making plans
@Jake " Side note: Assuming "Chinese" equals "rice eater" borders on racism.
No it doesn't, anymore than assuming that English = eat roast beef eater, in the same context.
It may be a stereotypical misconception, but it has nothing to do with racism.
On topic; messing with local weather patterns in this manner, is an insane waste of resources, time and money and may well bite them on the backside one day.

Samsung Galaxy Note
Ah thanks...in the mean time I changed my mind and got a SGS2 instead with the 2000 mAh OEM extendible battery and back plate. I had some hands on with a Note this afternoon and decided that it was a beautiful bit of kit, but just too big for everyday use. Besides, I was lucky enough to get a fire sale HP Touchpads on the cheap so that'll continue to plug the gap to the main laptop & PC.
Amazon.de do not post to UK?
I just tried to buy a note on the German Amazon site (i'm in the UK) and each time I go to check out I get the message "This item can not be shipped to the destination of your choice" - a standard UK address that I have used for years on the UK site.
Anyone know why i'm getting this issue?
Great review and the (on the whole!) useful comments have sealed the deal for me. I'm looking forward to this phone / mini tablet with ICS.
Assange™ can request final hearing against Swedish extradition
Such a polite commenter, "Put a stopper in your gob, why don't you"?
Classy Windrose, classy.
In cases such as this one, where so many political, media, military & vested interest figures will be left vulnerable from any potential fall out, I am less inclined to believe that the (normally disorganised) powers can't pull together to achieve a beneficial outcome.
As someone already pointed out, the fact that this is happening in view of the public eye, makes it even more ridiculous.
Movie deal?
Maybe Assange can sell the rights to the inevitably one sided and horrifically over simplified 'movie' deal that will no doubt already have been cast in some directors mind, to pay for his ongoing defence in this huge, humiliating, multi-government stitch-up job.
As for Manning...poor bastard.

VESTAL, N.Y. -- Nearly 50 cats have been rescued from a Vestal home.
Mary Herko-Daniels, 59, is facing one charge of abandonment and one charge of failing to provide proper sustenance.
Investigators say she moved from her home on Lincoln Drive in Vestal back in October, leaving dozens of cats behind. The Broome County Humane Society has been rescuing the cats from the building.
Cruelty investigators say many of them are malnourished and in need of medical attention.
The cats will be put up for adoption after they receive the veterinary care they need.

Stop Saying I Wish
Today makes a week into the new year. Normally, I would have posted some sort of "goal" oriented post on the 1st of the year, but I decided to wait a week to think about what I really wanted. But, before I roll onto my goals for 2014 and beyond, I want to do a quick recap of my 2013 goals and accomplishments.
In January, I joined an online writers group with aspirations of actually writing my first book. It took most of the year, but in September, I finally succeeded. It really didn't take 9 months to write the book. It just looks like that. I didn't set my goal of publishing until July, but once I had my 'aha' moment, I could not stop.
So back to January – I did make a conscious effort to write more in 2013, and I began to write in my journal towards the end of the month. I started off with a few days a week, and built up to 5 days a week, taking the weekends off. Then, in March, I started writing daily. I wrote every day into November. I had a total of 202 days of writing daily. I really didn't have a total written word goal for 2013, but as of December 31st, I ended up with around 180,000 words written. No, not all published, but written words just the same. You see, it was a dedication I decided to make, and I stuck with it pretty well this time. I have made these silly writing goals many times over the years, and 2013 seemed to have been the year to follow through.
Now, onto 2014 and beyond! My one year goal is to write 4 books. I want to finish up with Linear Shift, and write 3 more (at minimum) before the years end. Also, I have a goal of writing every single day in 2014, but I will give myself a pass one day of each month. Even if I only write a sentence saying that I do not feel like writing today, at least I gave it the attention to write those words down. I am sticking with the mental habit of thinking about writing just as much as the actual writing. My daily word count goal is 825. I first thought of going with the 1,000 words a day club, but I reviewed my first week of the new year, as well as scrutinized my writing habits from last year, and decided 1,000 words a day, every day seemed like putting too much pressure on me. I averaged 647 words per day last year spanning 272 total writing days. I am averaging just over 800 words a day through the first week this year, and I don't feel pressure at all to hit that goal. Honestly, I hope to blow it away, but if not, I will be ecstatic with 300,000 words written in 2014.
Ok, that was my one year goal. In January of 2015, I hope to be writing about how I achieved that goal, hoping to increase it next year. Now, my five year goal is a little more difficult to nail down. Sure, I could say I want to be a national best selling author within five years and truly mean it. Well I do! But, I think that is more dream than anything else. I true goal needs to be achievable by me without any outside assistance. Meaning, I do not need thousands of fans to go out and buy my book to make the goal a reality. No, I think my goal needs to be based off my own physical ability. I want to write 30 books in the next 5 years. Not an easy task, I assure you. I think that 'if' I can build enough momentum in sales (I know, depending on the fan aspect just a little bit) I can leave my day job behind, and write full time. Naturally, if that were too happen, the sooner the better to achieve writing 30 books in 5 years. That is an average of 6 books a year. Heck, my 2014 goal is 4 books, and I secretly hope to squeak out 5, but I am not going to say anything about that, not just yet…
So, there you have it. I have set my one and five year goal… in writing at least. I have other goals, not related to writing that I am not going to share here. I have the written down somewhere, and need to re-evaluate them at some point this month.Read More
My 2013 year in review
What a year, 2013 has been to me and my family. To start off, I registered for a few online writing classes that were a Christmas gift. I had contemplated taking some classes many times, but I have always put off doing so for one reason or another. The results of those classes remain a mixed bag, as the site I went with was more of a user driven experience, and really didn't "teach" you anything. I can pick up a book and read it just as easily, and save the $99/year. On the flip side to that, actually taking those classes gave me motivation to write more. I haven't calculated my total word count for the year yet, but I am pretty sure it is quadruple what is was the year before. My goal next year is to double or triple what I will end up with this year.
In March, I read an article on Hugh Howey. That single event changed me in more ways than I can count. After many many years of playing with the notion or writing, I never felt more in control of my desires than I did after reading that article and meeting Hugh. He is such a motivator when it comes to self publishing, and a strong advocate to get off your can and write. I've heard the saying many times: You cannot win the lottery unless you buy a ticket. I think Hugh has a similar message. You cannot publish a novel unless you write it. Not his words, but that is the gist of what my take-away from him is.
March, April and May just kind of sputtered along. I wrote just about every day through that span, but not really accomplishing much. I was not writing story, but simply journaling. I had a plan though, and I think it worked. I told myself that I needed to get into the habit of writing every day, whether I felt like it or not. I started that mantra in the middle of April, and held strong until mid September. I didn't miss a day through that span. Once September come, I was knee deep in my editing that I took a break from the daily writing exercise, and I am OK with it. I plan on starting up on January 1st, and seeing how far I can make it by writing every single day next year.
When June rolled along, we all were off for an Alaskan Cruise. Even though we were on a boat for nearly 2 weeks, my daily writing continued. Having the total relaxation of being on vacation worked well with the words coming out of my mind. That was the last 2 weeks of June, and I could feel something inside me was changing. I just had no idea what it was just yet. Taking a long trip like that certainly has a way of making one think about their own life, and how they live it. Until then, we all live day to day, not really planning that far in advance. Taking the time to evaluate things in our lives is something that is needed frequently.
July 4th has mos often been spent at a friends house, and 2013 was no different. He lives up against the foothills just south of us, and it is always a good time shooting off Potato Guns and eating BBQ. The weekend after the BBQ, my mind was still set in self reflection. I had came to the understanding of what Hugh was saying on his blog and in any of the multiple interviews he's given. I heard the words back in March, but it wasn't until July did I understand them. I had been writing daily for months by then, but they were just words on a page that meant nothing. On July 6th, I set the goal to publish my first book by my birthday in September. Hell, it was July 6th, and my birthday was on September 21st – 77 days away. I had a number of story ideas that were half started, and it wouldn't take much to get any one of them up to speed in that time frame. All I knew was I finally set a goal, and I somehow knew I would stick to it. I felt a change inside me that is difficult to describe. But, I knew it was there.
August passed by with me writing daily, but more on story than in my journal. Sure, I still wrote there, but I was working towards my goal. Some troubling news was coming up though, as my mother was in and out of the hospital a lot. My mother was a strong woman, and I knew it had to be something serious for her to be in the hospital. I remained hopeful that she would get better and live would move along. I wish I had that time back. I would have handled things so differently.
Most of September carried along much like August did. Writing daily, and working towards my goal. My mother spent more days in the hospital than she did out. She had a highly specialized surgery to repair an Aorta that was about to rupture, and then spend a few weeks in a rehab hospital. We only visited her once in the rehab place, as she was feeling much better and recovery was on the right path. She was released from the rehab place around the 18th, the same day I published my first book. But after being home for just a day, she was taken back to the hospital because of some complications. She died that night, on September 19th. She was 66 years young. When we first went to visit her in the hospital, the first thing she asked me was about my book. She was very excited for me to have such a dream. I only wish I would have started earlier, so that she could have lived to see me actually published. The timing was not quite right. I have no regrets though. I made my goal, and I stuck with it and published by my birthday. I only wished I spent more time with her before her passing.Along the same timeline in September, I submitted my first short story for publication in an anthology, and it was accepted.
After the hellish September ended up being, I vowed to take a break from Linear Shift, and work on something else for a while. But, sales for Part 1 were pretty good, and I was motivated to move right into Part 2. I started working on an outline and started actual writing on October 6th. I had not been writing daily for several weeks now, and I sort of lost that rhythm I had built up earlier in the year. September was a very stressful month, and something had to give. Regardless, I pushed as hard as I could, and finished writing Part 2 my November 6th. Exactly 30 days after starting.
Throughout November, I did a number of rewrites and also took a trip to NYC, which I had never been. LOVE the city. Want to go back. I also submitted two more short stories for a new anthology, and they were both accepted. I received final edits back from Amy on November 30th for Linear Shift, Part 2.
December was spent picking up all of her edits and rewriting a few chapters. I pushed through, as my goal was initially December 6th, which continued to get pushed back. I ended up publishing on December 24th, just a few days ago!
To recap the events of 2013, I wrote a bunch. I published 2 books, and 3 short stories. My mother died, and my life changed. I suppose you could have skipped all that wordy crap above and read the last paragraph. Throughout the year, I have made a number of new friends in the writing world. Michael Bunker, Jason Gurley, Patrice Fitzgerald, and Will Swardstrom to name a few.Read More
Weekend Recap, and Some Good News
On Saturday, me and the family took in a show. It was Gravity, and we saw it in Imax. It was pretty darn good. Ok, ok. It was great! The cinematography was phenomenal. The acting, I thought, was pretty believable. It was an 'edge of your seat' movie, and I am certainly happy that we paid the extra to see in 3D. Totally worth it.
On that note, when did movies get so damn expensive? For my family of 3 to go to the show, including snacks and drink, was nearly $80 bucks. Seriously? Yes, I know it was Imax, and we certainly could have forgone the snack part, but still… That was an expensive matinee show. And until this trip, we have been reluctant to buy the Stubs card from AMC. We bought it before the show, and after $100 bucks spent, we get $10 bucks back. We are nearly there, just after 1 show. The more expensive movies get, the more that card actually makes sense.
On Saturday night, we celebrated an informal Novel Kickoff Party. We actually had it scheduled for a week earlier, to coincide with my FREE sale on Amazon, but seeing as my mother passed the week before, there was a serious scheduling conflict for that Saturday.
Anyway, we went to a exorbitantly overpriced Italian restaurant and had a great time. I say overpriced in jest, as there were 6 of us, and we had enough food for 12. At least… We had left over last night, and will have left over again tonight.
Sunday was spent refining my outline a bit for Part 2 of Linear Shift, and then attempt some actual writing on the manuscript. Good news is that I actually got the first scene laid down! It's still in rough draft form, and I need to go through it again later, but the first scene of 17 planned is out! It's not really the first scene of the book, but the third over all. I just started there, because the first 2 scenes need some research and planning before I can take a shot at them. I plan on writing a scene every day to day and a half. I've got my developmental editor lined up and ready to follow behind me, scene by scene, to make sure they sound coherent. Then, after all the parts are complete, we'll spend a week polishing things up before sending it off to the final editor. I still think November 15th is a good target for release!

What a Crazy Month!
Today is the last day of the month. It's been a crazy month, to say the least. Here's a quick recap:
First, I celebrated the anniversary of my birth. Until them scientist can change how aging works, I gained a year in the age category. I have now been on this earth for 43 years. I can remember when I was young, around 11 or 12, that I so wanted to be my parents age. They would have made them 34 or 35 then. What the hell was I thinking? As soon as I hit 27 or 28, I feel each year of my life flies by so much faster. I can recall my 42nd birthday as if it were yesterday. There has to be some way to slow this shit down!
Second thing that happened this month was getting my first book published. Sure, it was a self-published adventure, but it was still a hell of a lot of work. Much more intensive than I would have ever imagined. I set the goal to be published by my 43rd birthday on July 3rd of this year. As the days and weeks ticked by, I really did not think I would make it. Add to that my moms illness, and I thought it was completely out of reach. It does amaze me how the human condition can accept and adapt to events that present themselves in life. Getting published at nearly the same time that my mother died is one event that will forever be on my mind.
The third thing was obviously my mothers death. The illness actually started many weeks ago, but her being a stubborn woman exasperated the condition. If she would have gotten the help needed 4 to 6 weeks earlier, she may still be with us today. Even after her death, she is teaching me things. The lesson I am learning now is that life is indeed too short. Okay, I already knew that, and I have tried to live for today for quite some time. She did teach me that doctors are not bad. They are needed to get along when you get sick. I am going to schedule a doctor visit in the next few weeks just to make sure everything is good with me. Seeing my mother pass away at 66 is not a pleasant experience. I do not want to have my loved ones go through that too soon. I want to die old and grey. Not so early like my mother. Passing at 66 is way too early.
Finally, my writing. I have wrote a ton this month. The most I have ever written in 30 days in a long time. I think it was November of 2011 that I last write a ton. Actually, Linear Shift, Part 1 was the story I wrote back then. I severely cut it and edited it to get it ready for publication. That first draft back then was almost completely useless. It was almost completely rewritten over the last 2 months. My stats for the month of September are as follows. Total words written: 24,193. Total days written: 30. Most written words in a day: 1,906. Least words written: 100. Average words per day for the month: 806. Also, I have not missed a single day of writing since April 12. And at that, I only missed that day because a big work deadline kept me away from my writing. Beyond that missed day, I hadn't missed a day of writing going back to March 26th.
As for Linear Shift, I uploaded it on September 18th on the Kindle site, and on the 20th for the print book site. Through this writing at 8:00 a.m. on the 30th, I have sold 20 ebooks, and 3 print books. I just wrapped up a FREE sale on Amazon, and had given away 435 ebooks over 3 days. I SO wanted to reach a 1,000 giveaways, but I honestly did not plan far enough ahead to promote the giveaway. Next time will be better. I just know it! Now, to the reach of the book: US – 617 books. UK – 25 books. Germany – 12 books. Canada – 3 books. Brazil – 1 book. Of those stats, Germany surprises me the most. I also though the UK would have had more.
Now that the monthly recap is over, I am going to look forward to October. I plan on having the first draft of Linear Shift, Part 2 complete by the end of the month, with publishing commencing on the 15th of November. Here's to living the dream!
Also, don't forget to sign up for my print book giveaways! First one is easy – Join my email list on the upper right corner of the page. I'll be randomly selecting 5 subscribers to each receive a signed copy of my book. Second, submit to my raffle, where 5 additional copies will go outRead More
I Can't Wait To Ship My pants, Dad!
I have to say, K-Mart one-up'd everyone on that ad. Too funny. I'm not sure how likely I will be to go shop there, even after the ad, but it certainly is garnering a lot of internet chatter. Good for them.
Now, I'm off to ship my pants!

Life Interrupted
Why do I do this to myself? I load my life up with so much "stuff" and I wonder why I never have any time for myself…
So, CampNaNoWriMo starts tomorrow, and I haven't the foggiest idea what I am going to write about. I have a ton of story ideas to rol with, but not a single one of them are jumping out at me, saying "WRITE ME!". I have a few that do keep coming into my mind, but they both need so much plotting work, that I am not sure they will play well in a 30 day writing exercise. Maybe that is the whole point – to allow unplanned direction to unlock the mind to be free. So be it. I will probably roll with the Shelter story, as that is the one that continues to invade my mind, even though I cannot seem to get a good story arc to fit the idea. I hate just writing in circles.
I had totally planned on plotting and outlining last week, but as I expected, the vacation took up most of my time. I was disciplined enough to actually write daily though, so that was good. I basically wrote about the trip and only occasionally wrote about story stuff. I did have a new story idea that I jotted down – oh great!
Now, I need to get my cameras' memory cards cleared off and organize the photos from the trip. I am notorious at taking a few hundred photos from a vacation, and not opening them back up for some expended period of time. And with NaNo starting up tomorrow, it looks like I will be again putting off sorting those photos. The vacation was awesome though, so it will be a pleasure stumbling onto them in 3 or 4 months, and recalling the great times with my family.
So, I am off to try and work out some sort of semblance of a plot for my story. I will leave you all with a shot from our drive up the coast in California from last week.Read More

Adams Central hires new superintendent
The Adams Central Board of Education has hired a new school superintendent to replace outgoing superintendent Mike Pettibone who handed in his letter of retirement late last year.
Lori Richmond, who has been serving as school superintendent in the Greencastle Community Schools, was unanimously employed by the school board on Tuesday evening and will begin coming to the area periodically to work with Pettibone in learning things that will assist when she takes over the helm.
Pettibone will officially serve as superintendent through the end of June.
"We initially had 12 applicants. We interviewed five; it was out of that field that we selected Lori," noted board president Wes Kuntzman.
"She is dedicated to the Lord, church and family," continued Kuntzman. "She spends as much as she can with each.
"The board has great confidence in Lori's ability to build on the foundation established by Mike Pettibone. We believe that she can lead Adams Central into the future," Kuntzman said.
Richmond said that she feels excited about coming to the Adams County area.
"Thank you very much for your confidence," Richmond said. "I am extremely excited to get to work in this school system.
"I can see that you have a real heart for the students of this school system," continued Richmond. "Education is such a challenge these days. To have such an entire group of dedicated educators is a privilege."
Richmond received her bachelor of science in elementary education and masters in educational leadership from Indiana University in Bloomington. In addition, she did specialist superintendent training at Indiana State University in Terre Haute.
Richmond spent the first 16 years of her career in the classroom. From 1984 until the present, she has been involved in various administrative capacities.
Richmond said that her professional goal is to serve a strong community that seeks to focus on dynamic education and high expectations for all learners with a collaborative and forward thinking environment.
"I always wanted to be in education," observed Richmond. "I've always been involved in learning progress. We are all a service-oriented family. My husband served in the Air Force."
Richmond has three children, Katie, who is a biologist, Amy, who will graduate in May as a biochemist with plans of going to medical school, and Benny, a senior in high school who is looking toward engineering.
"We are still serving whether it is faith-based or public," observed Richmond. "God gave us precious children to take care of."
Richmond said that her initial goal is to get to know staff, children and parents.
"Of course I am going to fix buildings, but my first goal is to show caring for people and getting to know them," Richmond said.
Board member Cynthia Snider said that she likes Richmond because she believes that she will maintain the overall culture of Adams Central.
"I like her overall experience, her compassion, her focus on kids and her focus on scores," said Snider.

Sara Akbar, chief executive of Kuwait Energy, an independent oil and gas company focused on the region, brought to the IHS Cambridge Energy Research Associates' annual energy conference in Houston what she called a "view from the street" on the North Africa/Middle East tensions.
Akbar said that although the region was made up of disparate countries, they had enough similarities that one spark had set off change throughout. Even in Kuwait – which she noted had a very stable political system – there were calls for change.
At least half of Libya's oil production has been shut down in the wake of the violence wracking the country, industry executives estimate.
The continuing disruption in the country, the world's 12th largest exporter of crude, drove oil prices to a fresh 2½-year peak on Wednesday. Brent oil futures jumped 3.7 per cent to hit $110 a barrel for the first time since before the collapse of Lehman Brothers. The benchmark has risen 7.7 per cent since Monday.
