Our next release is something different. The multitalented writer-turned-producer 40% Rabatt finished his album Gecoltiveerde Aap, which is now available on Bankrupt Recordings.
You can expect warm, groovy soul tunes peppered with house and dance beats and flavored with a good dose of humor. Perfect music for the sunny months to come. No discount needed for this one, as it is a free download from our site.
Trip-hop.net is an online community of french speaking people who love trip-hop in all its forms and assets. Its active members keep a keen eye on new releases from independant artists, and so have discovered many excellent downtempo albums released in 2010. The 2010 trip-hop.net selection is a compilation of the best tracks from these artists, selected and weighed with great care and voted on by the entire community.
We are very proud to announce that Crookram is featured on the compilation with his track A Man Named Ivan, from the album Through Windows, which was released in 2010 on Bankrupt Recordings and Budabeats Netlabel.
The recently released compilation album Trip-Hop Classics is a selection of excellent downtempo and trip-hop tracks, compiled by none other than Kid Loco. The double album features famous classics from established downtempo producers, as well as new tracks from underground producers.
One of the tracks Kid Loco selected is Crookram's remix of Ez A Divat's track Nofun Nofun. Click the link below for details.
May 15th, precisely one year after the successful Escape, the E.P. album together with Crookram, Bankrupt Recordings is proud to release Sagesse's instrumental solo album titled Cool Tempo.
Sagesse shifted his creativity for this project. Where on "Escape" he did the vocals and musical production together with Crookram, he now temporarily left his microphone alone to create a full instrumental album. With the help of Crookram as engineer Sagesse managed to create a journey through a wide variety of samples and different drum patterns in an attempt to discover the essence and boundaries of contemporary Hip Hop music.
Two years since his latest release on the Budabeats netlabel, Crookram is finally coming out with a new album. If you're familiar with his previous work this album might be somewhat of a surprise. It has been a couple of years in the making, during which time musical genres like soul, funk, hiphop and library music have been combined with modern downtempo beats and movie samples to create a funky yet dusty seventies vibe.
You can expect scratchy records, mysterious movie samples and a great talent for production, elements which have been praised already by many people involved in the downtempo scene.
Click here for the album!
Bankrupt Recordings proudly presents its first release from hiphop collaborators Sagesse & Crookram titled Escape, the E.P. This dynamical duo hails from The Netherlands and brings us a surprisingly fresh collection of hiphop tracks. Their music is a rich variety of 70s jazz, reggae and funk samples combined with modern hiphop beats. Escape, the E.P. is internationally oriented, featuring guest appearances from Nairobi (Escape) and Rotterdam (Patterns of Thought). Warrior is already causing a buzz in the underground scene, sure to become a hit in the forthcoming months.

Title: Gone Fishin'
Posted: August 13, 2007 (04:48 AM)
I won't be able to write entries for my blog for the next five days, 'cuz I'm working on something very important. It's private, though, so don't ask; you won't get answers. I will be totally out to lunch for the next few days. Bye now.
Title: Bourne Ultimatum
Posted: August 11, 2007 (12:29 PM)
I saw The Bourne Ultimatum today. It was kind of good. I will review this movie AND show a new style of reviewing films in one fell swoop. Presenting...
* Matt Damon's acting
* Occasional good lines
* Action sequences
* Good music
* Pretty much everyone else's acting (subpar or lifeless)
* Occasional pointless lines
* Bourne's new name (Jason Bourne is so much cooler than David... uh... David Surname-That-I-Can't-Remember)
* Shaky camera
Overall Impression:
Good enough, but could use improvements. 7.5/10.
EDIT: I'm changing it to an 8.5/10. I was a little too harsh, I think.
Title: Sonic Firestorm
Posted: August 09, 2007 (07:27 AM)
Okay, just yesterday, I downloaded an album off the Internet; specifically, DragonForce's "Sonic Firestorm" album. You know, the one that England voted 2nd on the list of Top 50 "Battle Metal" Albums of the Last 20 Years. The one that has DragonForce's best stuff on it. THAT one.
The DF is in top form here, from the incredible high-octane trills in "My Spirit Will Go On" and "Fury of the Storm" to the slower, ballad-esque tunes of "Dawn Over a New World." I'm not kidding, you guys have GOT to check this album out. I don't have time to make a full review (I'm too lazy), so go here to check out the review.

Title: The Decline and Fall of the Blue Hedgehog
Posted: August 05, 2007 (01:05 PM)
I think that all of us who have been with Sonic the Hedgehog since the beginning know that he was amazing when he dashed onto the gaming scene in 1991. His game moved twice-- no, three times faster than the plumber who was taking all the glory at the time. He had serious attitude, as opposed to the lifelessness of all those OTHER game characters. Best of all, his game was fun.
As you can imagine, Sega churned out sequels as fast as they could. Sonic became a household name-- more kids could identify him than Mickey Mouse in '92-- and his games improved as they were released. Perhaps the pinnacle of the Blue Blur's career was the release of Sonic CD in 1993. It was and is easily the best of Sonic's adventures.
Then, when 3D polygons became the new thang, Sega was only too happy to create a whole new Sonic for their whole Dreamcast. They released Sonic Adventure to a waiting world. It was fun, but many problems plagued it, such as a finicky camera, pointless fetch quests, and a too-easy difficulty level. Plus, it just didn't... feel... as fast.
Sega did their best to address these concerns, and released Sonic Adventure 2. This game was more fun, but the difficulty, in places, got controller-throwingly hard, the camera still was a little bad, and there was shooting. Admittedly, there was shooting in SA, but a good third of SA2 was devoted to it, as opposed to the seventh or eighth of the first.
Now people were starting to cry foul as Sonic Heroes came out. The game was somewhat cheesy, too easy, and had little replay value. The streak continued with Shadow the Hedgehog's release. I thought that the story was a step in the right direction, but the missions varied from painfully hard (find all the pointless objects in a ginormous nonlinear level without a map) to pushovers (run to the end and kill things). They offered quick-fun experiences-- probably worth a weekend rental-- but were not sick (in the cool sense) like the classic Sonics.
The most recent back-stab is the next-gen Sonic for the PS3 and 360. I played a demo at a game store to see how it was, not expecting it to be any worse than Sonic Heroes.
It was the most painful Sonic yet. The positive points were the graphics and, uh, that's it. The controls were floaty, the levels were by no means complex, the loading times were brutal, and I oft had to press a button twice to get stupid Sonic to do a frickin' Homing Attack. One particularly painful bit had two cliffs with a gap between them, bridged by rings. A Light Dash was the only way across. This would have been fine, had there not been a Dash Panel RIGHT BEFORE THE LIGHT DASHING BIT. I would press the button to Light Dash, Sonic would ignore me, and he would run off the cliff, fall into the water, and drown.
The worst part was, Sonic ran at the speed of a three-legged cow.
Hopefully, in the future, Sega will find its eye of the tiger (or, in this case, anthromorphic hedgehog), get its 3D act together, and make a Sonic game that people will want to play. And I'm not talking about the kind of playing where you play it once just so you can laugh at how stupid it is. I'm talking about the type where you play it because it's fun.

Title: Be Courteous (by Steve Martin)
Posted: August 01, 2007 (11:14 AM)
Today, I present the lyrics to a silly little ditty by Steve Martin, entitled "Be Courteous." This is the abriged version, since I learned this song by word of mouth, and the person in question knew it differently than the way the lyrics actually were. So here is the abriged version of Steve Martin's "Be Courteous." YAY! The lyrics are a little mixed up, but the master who teaches incorrectly passes his faults onto the student, so my bad.
Be courteous, kind, and forgiving,
Be gentle and peaceful each day,
Be thoughtful and trustful and childlike,
Be obsequious, purple, and clairvoyant.
Be pompous, obese, and eat cactus,
Live in a swamp and be three-dimensional,
Put a live chicken in your underwear,
Get all excited and go to a yawning festival.
Be tasteless, rude, and offensive,
Be dull and boring and omnipresent,
Criticize things you don't know about,
Be oblong and have your knees removed.
Be courteous, kind and forgiving,
Be gentle and peaceful each day,
Be thoughtful and trustful and childlike...
Be bipedal and eat hard-boiled eggs!!!
Yay! No. LOL.

Title: I'm Baaaaaaaaaaack!
Posted: July 31, 2007 (02:15 PM)
Well, it was a tiring vacation down in New York, but as I had time to kill in the city, I figured I'd tell you all about my trip to Nintendo World and (inadverdantly) make you all jealous. Sorry... but I'm doing it anyway.
Well, a lot has been going on at 10 Rockefeller Plaza since my last two excursions to it. Do you guys remember that issue of Nintendo Power (you know, just after its look was redesigned) where they talked about it? I remember that the article was called "A World Apart," so that may refresh your memory. It is wonderful down there, and everything the article said.
However, all the GameCubes have been replaced with Wiis, and the GBA bar is now a DS bar (though I don't think you can pick your games anymore. Shame about that). It is still incredible, though. I spent most of my time playing Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree, and I quite liked its Wiimote functionality. I then played the DS version, and concluded that the Wii version was far better. Shame that there are no more GameCubes; it was nice to try your luck at Super Smash Bros. Melee against people you didn't even know.
It was still a barrel of fun, though. In fact, I bought the new Big Brain Academy board game, just because it looked awesome. I already had about three other versions of Monopoly lying around, and the Nintendo one, while neat-looking, didn't do much for me. Besides, I had a rather small day pack, and the Monopoly wouldn't fit in it. (It was a pain to stuff BBA in there as it were, but yeah.) My purchase was worth it, too. My buddies and I had fun stacking up our brains against each other. Hopefully, you will too.
So, long story short, I had fun. It was good. And yes, I did play Twilight Princess, Excite Truck, etc., on the Wii, too. You just can't miss those. For more on the store itself, go to:
You get to see pictures and everything. It's so awesome. Bye!

Title: Bye Now!
Posted: July 26, 2007 (01:05 PM)
To all of my readers: I will be taking a four-day hiatus so I can go on vacation. When I come back, I'll have much more to tell you. As an example, ever been to Nintendo World? I'm goin' there! I'm going to New York, so you can bet I'm stopping by there. Do not expect a new entry for about five days, because there won't be one.
Mood: Ready to go on vacation!!!
Title: Boobah: What the Bleep?!?
Posted: July 23, 2007 (02:30 PM)
Today I've decided to discuss the most annoying show I have ever seen: Boobah. I was surfing channels the other day when I came upon this show. I'll start out by saying that it's very strange that Europeans think that a show like this is even supposed to exist. It alternates between five little multicolored fat creatures doing seizure dances and little children dancing/blowing on stuff to make things happen. It is incredibly creepy. In fact, I heard from a mysterious source (myself) that they were originally going to call this show "What Hitler Sees When he Gets a Stomach Ache." It's that bad.
Seriously, this show does look like the hallucinations of the Fuhrer of the Third Reich when he gets an unpleasant feeling in his tummy. Giant, colorful fatties in a giant, colorful world? Got it. Random words and dumb names such as "Zing Zing Zingbah?" They're here, too. Mass murder? Uh, not so much, but you'd think that the staff wouldv'e died of shame already.
Does this show even belong on PBS? I mean, I think all their shows have to have educational value or something, but Boobah doesn't. If there's anywhere this nightmare belongs, it's on the Absolutely Insane Seizurefest Colors Banana Ping Channel. And that station's so crazed, it doesn't even exist.
Oh, and for all interested as to why I actually bothered to get all this info on a children's television show, I watched it for ten minutes just so I could laugh at how stupid it was. And then I went to play Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. It's less damaging to your brains.
Sayonara, Shadow the Hedgehog--er, readers!

Title: A New Quiz (of About Medium Difficulty)
Posted: July 22, 2007 (05:18 PM)
Hello, all determined to be happified! Recently, I got Star Wars IV: A New Hope on DVD. As if this was not enough to make me excited through and through, it featured two discs; one contained the special edition, fully remastered and all that, and the second disc contained the original theatrical version, circa thirty years ago. I was so jubilant about this purchase, I decided to create a quiz for A New Hope. Yes, that's right, this is ONLY FOR THE FOURTH MOVIE. Got that? Good. If you get stuck, walk, don't run, to your local Blockbuster and rent the movie. You'll have to pay attention to the film, though, so watch it!
1.) Who shoots first in the original movie, Han or Greedo?
2.) Who shoots first in the special edition, Han or Greedo? Note that this is the DVD version we're talking about here.
3.) The Mellenium Falcon made the Kessel run in how many parsecs?
4.) Which important supporting character in The Empire Strikes Back made a cameo appearance in the special edition? In what scene was this character's cameo featured?
5.) During the purchase of the droids from the Jawas, Uncle Owen buys C-3P0 and an red R2 unit. However, what part of the droid malfunctions, thereby causing Uncle Owen to reconsider his purchase?
6.) At the beginning of the film, we see C-3P0 and R2-D2 ambling, in a panic, through the ship. However, they aren't the only droids visible to us for about twenty seconds. What type of droid follows them about during this time, and what color is it?
7.) Who is the first person in the film to say the popular phrase "I have a very bad feeling about this."?
8.) How big, approximately, is a womp-rat?
9.) Name five pilots during the Death Star battle sequence (aside from Luke himself). Remember, call numbers (i.e., Red Five) don't count! The names are there, you just have to listen for 'em. You may need the special edition, though I don't think you do.
10.) How many words are in the opening sequence where they recap what's happening? Note that the phrases "Star Wars," "EPISODE IV," and "A NEW HOPE" (all at the very beginning) don't count. They're just the headers, see? "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...", however, DOES count. Remember!
I'll post the answers as a reply to this entry. Bye now!

Title: The Mysteries of Sequels
Posted: July 19, 2007 (02:56 PM)
I am constantly at a loss as to why the sequels of a movie never seem as good as the original. From film to film, there are constant cases proving that more movies are not better.
Consider: back in 1977, thirty years ago, Star Wars came out. We all know what happened with that, now, don't we? It became a hit film (and, later, a cultural phenomenon), and many loved it. So, ol' George Lucas decided to milk the Star Wars franchise for all it was worth and make more movies. Yet the captivating mythos of the first didn't seem fully captured in the subsequent films. Episodes V and VI came out, and they were big, cash-cow hits, but they just didn't seem as good as the first one. And the prequel films seemed more like vehicles for look-what-we-can-do special effects than actual films that should be accredited to the Star Wars franchise. That's not to say that they were bad, they just didn't seem as fun to experience as that first film. And Jar Jar Binks? Unforgivable, Lucas, unforgivable.
And what about the Rocky movies? The first one won a Best Picture, for pity's sake, and it was a knockout hit (hahaha, pun!). And then, the next one felt more like a normal punch. The next was a jab. And the ones after that were, well, like getting hit by a very tiny fly. As for the recent film Rocky Balboa, I didn't see it, but I don't wish to, given the poor track records of the original's predecessors.
Unfortunately, it's like this with virtually all forms of media entertainment. Even videogames are not immune to badsequelitis; remember the first two Mario Parties and how good they were? Now go rent a copy of any Mario Party thereafter. See what I mean?
Got any idea as to why sequels never seem as good as the original films? Reply to this blog post and tell me.
Also, on a totally unrelated note, I have come up with a new idea for fanfiction. It doesn't really fall under a particular game, so it might not be posted here, but it's another Sonic one. I'll give you a hint: Metal Sonic.
Bye, now!

Title: Nintendo's Reinforcements in the Console War
Posted: July 18, 2007 (06:55 AM)
I recently read a New York Times article about how more and more game developers and publishers seem to be leaning towards the Wii for game-making. It seems that the Xbox 360's and PS3's development costs are going quite high when compared to the little white box with the Wiimote. Besides, with all the Wii sales happening, you know that the companies gotta get them some of that.
At first, a lot of developers leaned towards Microsoft's and Sony's machines. They could pull off better graphics, and that was what people wanted, right? However, their reservations about the Wii were well founded. The GameCube, which initially sold well, was outsold marginally by the PS2 and Xbox. The developers didn't want to run the risk of making a minimal profit.
However, with the huge sales of the Wii, as well as its lower development costs, more and more companies are putting their fears aside and starting to make Wii games. Remember, smaller development costs means that if your game sells well, you'll get more profit then if you were to sell your game on, say, the PS3.
But, for now, we don't know what's going to happen with that. We'll just have to see how the Wii sells. If it continues to sell the way it is right now, it'll have no problem winning the console war. And, with all the possible developers joining up, the sales may increase even more. We don't know yet.

Title: Sonic CD: The Woes and Happiness
Posted: July 17, 2007 (09:22 AM)
Just the other night, I was enjoying a good game of Sonic CD via the Gems Collection. It was brutally awesome, and the crazy-fun stages/boss battles had me hooked.
But the best was yet to come. I had gotten to Act 3 of Stardust Speedway Zone-- more specifically, the race against Metal Sonic. Man, it was fun. I felt the adrenaline rush as he passed me by, the desperation of losing my rings to his electrical attack, and the thrill of barely pushing past him to the finish line, blowing him up and saving Amy.
Satisfied with a hard day's work, I shut my GameCube off.
Wait a minute. Did that save? I thought it might have, but I checked, just to make sure. To my utter horror, I found that Sonic was dispatched to Wacky Workbench Zone, where I had started from.
I gathered my breath, and was about to let out a raging primal scream of fury and cannibalism...
Then, suddenly, I stopped. I realized that having to go back to WWZ meant that I would get to do the Metal Sonic race all over again.
Oddly enough, I felt content inside. It was so weird, I still can't understand it. But, I'm strangely optimistic that I'll be able to reexperience all the thrills, agonies, and fun of Sonic CD again.
Next time, though, I'm saving. Can't stop me from that.
So, next time you lose your progress in a really fun game, and you just want to let out a raging primal scream of fury and cannibalism, just remember that if the experience was worth the first playthrough, then it should be worth the second. It's tough, but I did it. And I think you can, too.

Title: Can You Please Hate Linkin Park in Private?!?!?
Posted: July 16, 2007 (03:31 PM)
I would like to ask a favor of all who have read my entry on music and flamed me, due to the fact that I happen to-- shudder-- enjoy Linkin Park. While some of you may think this is grounds for a hanging, have you ever stopped to think about the fact that this is my personal opinion? Heck, guys, it's within my rights as an American to be allowed to like a certain band that some other people don't like! Likewise, it is within your rights to hate whatever bands you like. But, in the intrest of respect, I'd like you to please stop jeering at me about it.
To give an example of the kind of insults I get for this opinion o' mine, I will tell the story of one of my readers (who, for the sake of his respect, not mine, shall remain anonymous) and his replies. He responded to my blog post with his opinion that Linkin Park is awful, which was okay.
At least, it would've been okay, had he not responded to another one of my posts about a different music-related topic. He subtly stated that "You like Linkin Park, therefore your opinions on music are no longer valid", and went on to say that "it's fitting that you enjoy those excruciating [band/game other than Linkin Park deleted for the sake of anonimity] songs."
For the final insult, I checked out his bloody blog, and do you know what his latest entry was about? It was all about how Linkin Park is awful!
I'm not challenging your rights to hate Linkin Park. I'm just asking you to acknowledge my rights to enjoy whatever band I wish to, and please respond politely to my entries, regardless of the subject matter.
Oh, and if there are going to be any flames, please leave them in your fireplaces and out of the face of this innocent Linkin Park fan who has done you no personal wrong. Deal?

Title: Throw it All Away: Who Should I Thank for This?/A2 on MySpace
Posted: July 16, 2007 (11:29 AM)
I have a question that I'm just dying to find the answer to: Who performs Shadow's theme from Sonic Adventure 2, "Throw it All Away?" I want to see if I can find it on iTunes or someplace like that. The song is actually kind of good... sort of...
By the by, another band from another Sonic game with Shadow in it, A2, has a MySpace page that I found recently. Check it out here:
They performed the grim redemption anthem "Chosen One," in case you're wondering. Enjoy their other songs on their Standalone player, including their tribute song to the band STYX, entitled "Too Much Time." It's neat; go check it out.
Bye, gang!

As anyone who's ever tried to fix a broken garbage disposal or install a new microwave oven can tell you, sometimes hiring an appliance professional is worth every bit of the cost. Appliance problems can be time consuming for many homeowners to diagnose and repair, and a botched attempt can lead to bigger hassles and more money out of pocket. And with some appliances, such as ranges, grills and other pieces powered by gas, hiring a pro is a smart safety precaution.

"We rec'd the order quickly. It looks beautiful and I love the paper texture/thickness. We did the banner design on the back and it look great! I'm very happy with my order and will order from Tiny Prints again."
"The card stock was thick, cute size, and nice design. I love Tiny prints, they have great options for all budgets. Shipping was at great timing, faster than expected. The design theme for the party was inspired by card."
"I ordered this card for my daughter's 3rd birthday and they were absolutely gorgeous. I was very satisfied with the quality although it was not one of the most expensice cards. Delivery was on time and customer service was great. I didnt realize I had used two different fonts. I called and they were able to assist me without any problem. I totally recommend this product as well as Tinyprints."
"We received many compliments on this simple but classy invitation! It was perfect for our daughter's 1st birthday party."
"Just received the cards; they were better than expected. Thick, quality paper. I splurged for the iridescent paper but due to the background color of the card, the pearlescent quality does not show up, so I wouldn't spring for that for this particular card. The regular card stock will do. Overall, happy with the card."

Rabbi Yaakov Perlow speaks at the Agudath Isael annual gala / YouTube
On Wednesday we learned that, while speaking at a fundraising gala for the ultra-Orthodox Agudath Israel of America, Rabbi Yaakov Perlow, head of that organization, slandered virtually every Jew on the planet, down to and including a bunch of plain-old-Orthodox folks. We were told that attendees of the event were "stunned."
"The Torah must be guarded from the secular forces that seek to corrupt its values and the lives of [Jews], from intruders who sometimes in the name of Judaism completely subvert and destroy the eternal values of our people," Perlow said. And also: "[The Reform and Conservative Movements] have disintegrated themselves, become oblivious, fallen into an abyss of intermarriage and assimilation. They have no future, they almost have no present." And furthermore, the Open Orthodoxy movement is "steeped in apikorsos [heresy]."
It was quite the little speech. But stunned? Really? Attendees were stunned? Do they not get out much?
Perlow heads an organization that is, by definition, extremist. They believe themselves to be upholding the strictest, and thus most correct, interpretation of God's own Divine law; they believe that the existence of the Jewish people, the coming of Messiah, and quite possibly the world itself depends on the painstaking observance of that interpretation — which is not, in their understanding, an interpretation at all, but simply Jewish law, halakhah.
Of course he thinks you're a bad Jew — no, I'm sorry, not a "bad Jew." He thinks that you're a literal danger to Judaism itself. You have come — yes, you! — to "subvert and destroy the eternal values" of the Jewish people. You! (Unless you happen to be Haredi, and Perlow's kind of Haredi at that, in which case, welcome to Forward Thinking, we try to be a very welcoming blog).
William "Jerry" Boykin / Getty Images
William "Jerry" Boykin, a retired general and Christian conservative, has come under fire after telling an Israeli reporter that Jews are "the cause of all the problems in the world," in what was seemingly an awkward attempt at humor. Boykin, executive vice president of the right-wing Family Research Council, who is widely known for his anti-Muslim advocacy, also told a reporter that Obama secretly sides with Al-Qaeda and sent "subliminal messages" of support to Muslims during his well-publicized appearance in Egypt in 2009.
The "hot mic" remarks were made following a speech at the National Security Action Summit, held just a few blocks from the Conservative Political Action Conference this past weekend. Boykin spoke at a panel entitled "Benghazigate: The Ugly Truth and the Cover-up." The video feed for the live webcast went dark but its audio continued running and the off-air remarks are now available on the Southern Poverty Law Center's website, which first covered the story.
Boykin can be heard accusing Obama of secretly sending messages of support to Egyptians during his famed 2009 speech in Cairo. "If you understand anything about Islam," he said, "there are subliminal messages." He asserted that Muslim extremist groups have taken advantage of the supposed unbending support of the American president, confident that he is "unwilling to go against them."
After Boykin's remarks about Obama's supposed unrelenting support for Muslims, a reporter from Israel's right-wing news site IsraelNationalNews.com approached him and requested a brief interview. Jokingly, Boykin accused Jews of causing all of the world's problems. The reporter responded, "I know, I know, that's why we're trying to fix everything."
Two weeks ago, when the Forward launched its special editorial project America's Most Inspiring Rabbis, we had no idea what to expect. We asked people of all ages, denominations and backgrounds to nominate a rabbi who has inspired them or who had a profound effect on their lives or in their communities. But would readers respond? Would they take the time to write 200 words about a rabbi? Would we receive stories from a cross-section of American Jews — and would those stories move us? The answer to all of these questions is a resounding YES!
America's Most Inspiring Rabbis marks the first phase of our year-long investigation into the challenges and changing roles of the American rabbinate. Editor-in-Chief Jane Eisner launched this initiative in a recent editorial, in which she addressed the effect our stalled economy has had on job opportunities for both young and old rabbis, as well as the difficulties women face breaking into the all-male Orthodox world — and the difficulties the Reform movement faces attracting men to its synagogues. As she concluded, "defining and sustaining the role of the modern rabbi is one of the most vital challenges before the American Jewish community today."
Like many Jewish leaders, I have devoted the majority of my professional life to advocating on behalf of my denomination. Sometimes the need is concrete, other times ideological. From supporting the worldwide network of the 600-plus Conservative kehillot to agitating on behalf of a Judaism that is pluralistic, intellectually compelling and rooted in tradition, my religious identity is often inextricable from my personal Jewish "brand."
Much of this is unavoidable. Not a month goes by without an invitation to speak about a topic of endless fascination to the Jewish public: the current state of Conservative Judaism. Whether joining together with the heads of my sister organizations to construct a wide lens view or honing on a particular geography — I will be moderating a panel discussion on the renaissance of Conservative Judaism on Manhattan's East Side in December — I declare myself, time and again, a spokesperson for Conservative Judaism.
But I was reminded of the limits of denominationalism this past week in the course of my hastily arranged Solidarity Tour to Israel on Day 7 of Operation Pillar of Defense. Organized by the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations, I joined with a group of North American Jewish leaders from United Synagogue to the Union for Reform Judaism to the Orthodox Union to the Jewish Federations of North America and other Zionist groups.
Together, we visited the mayors of the cities most affected by Hamas missiles, the injured civilians and soldiers, the damaged property, the brave Israeli citizens under threat of extinction every single day. Together we met with Israeli president Shimon Peres. Together we boarded buses from Ashkelon to Beer Sheva to Jerusalem, united as Jews, representatives of our denominations, yes, but stripped of the agendas that occupy us back in our offices in North America.
There's good news and bad news for President Obama in a new survey of American Jewish opinion released Thursday by the Workmen's Circle. First, the bad news: Jewish voters favor Obama over Mitt Romney by about two to one — 59% to 27%, with 14% undecided. If undecideds follow the same 2-to-1 split, the result will be 68% to 32%. This points to a 10% drop from November 2008, when Obama got 78% of the Jewish vote, according to national exit polls at the time. The good news is that it's not November yet, and if you compare June 2012 to June 2008, Obama is doing considerably better now than he was then. At this point in 2008 Jews were backing Obama by only 62% to rival John McCain's 31%, according to Gallup's tracking poll. Obama dropped further in July 2008, to 61-34, before beginning a steady rise in August. In fact, a surge might already be discernible this year, if we compare the Workmen's Circle survey with a similar survey released two months ago, April 3, conducted by the Public Religion Research Institute for the Nathan Cummings Foundation.
Will the president repeat his 2008 late-summer uptick? Hard to say. Romney isn't likely to give him the sort of gift McCain offered when he chose the spectacularly unqualified Sarah Palin as his running-mate. On the other hand, everything else in the Workmen's Circle poll, which was conducted by Professors Steven M. Cohen and Samuel Abrams, points to a Jewish public that remains solidly liberal. Given the starkly conservative cast of the Republican campaign so far, it seems unlikely that Romney could muster more enthusiasm among Jewish voters than the more moderate McCain did in 2008. It could be that distress over Obama's Israel policies will lower his Jewish support, but both surveys show Israel playing very little role in Jewish voters' thinking. In fact, Cohen's statistical analysis of respondents' preferences and demographic characteristics indicates that people who have strong opinions about Israel tend to show a host of other tendencies that factor as strongly if not more so into their decisions.
In some ways the Workmen's Circle survey confirms the trends that turned up in the Cummings Foundation survey in April; in other ways the WC sample is more conservative (I'm not sure why, and I won't speculate right now). In certain ways, both polls — and a third one, the American Jewish Committee annual survey, released April 30 — look remarkably similar. Remarkable, that is, considering that they use different methodologies, draw on different population samples and reflect a variety of sponsors' ideologies from the upscale liberal Cummings Foundation to the grittier left-liberal Workmen's Circle to the devoutly centrist AJC.

Lemon Crinkle Cookies
Lemon is one of my favorite flavors; so lemon cookies are always a great thing in my world. These were sublime. I don't use that word lightly either. Perfectly crisp around the edges, with a soft center, even three days later. They were actually even better after a day or two. (Can you believe I managed to make them last that long, to test this?!)
They froze and thawed beautifully as well. I've had this recipe pinned to try for ages now and I am so glad I finally made them! The recipe is a Cookie Contest Winner and it is a well-deserved win.
Lemon Crinkle Cookies ~ Gluten Free recipe is posted HERE
recipe from Lauren's Latest
(printable recipe)
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1 teaspoon lemon zest*
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice*
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cup AP flour
1/2 cup powdered sugar, reserved for rolling the cookies
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with silpat or parchment paper and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla, egg, lemon juice and lemon zest. Beat until well combined. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir just until they are combined. Place the powdered sugar in a small bowl and set aside.
Scoop about a tablespoon of the cookie dough and roll into a ball. Roll in the powdered sugar and then place on the cookie sheet. Repeat with the rest of the dough. Bake for about 10 minutes, or just until the bottoms of the cookies begin to brown and the cookies are no longer shiny. Remove from the oven and let rest for a minute or two before transferring to a wire rack. Store in an airtight container when completely cooled. Enjoy!
* I used Meyer lemons for these cookies. I had heard so much about these amazing lemons; when I saw them in the store, I couldn't resist trying them. Honestly, I wasn't impressed. I like a sharp bite to my lemon and these were much milder and almost sweeter. Delicious for different purposes, but I'm betting I will love these cookies even more with a tiny bit more tang from a traditional lemon.

Lemon cookies are the best! I've made freezer lemon cookies before and thought the soft, tart, sweet crispy cookie was perfect with a cup of tea. Have a lovely weekend and thanks for getting lemon stuck in my head! (lemon head - haha)ReplyDelete
It's funny I bookmarked a version of this cookie a while ago, too, and haven't gotten around to them. I've recently discovered lemon extract and I think it has a great flavor. I might add a bit to these to bring out the lemon...the more lemon the better!ReplyDelete
Oh, I LOVE lemon, and those sound amazing :)ReplyDelete
I just saw another recipe for these same cookies.. must be a sign that I must make them this weekend!!!ReplyDelete
These look amazing!ReplyDelete
I love this recipe for lemon cookies. Lemon is one of my favorite flavors also, I will be trying this recipe soon.ReplyDelete
I could certainly use a little lemon to warm things up around here. They just look like sunshine!!ReplyDelete
Blessings, Debbie
I'll have to try these! Lemon is my husband's favorite flavor, and I've loved other recipes I tried from Lauren...your picture is beautiful!ReplyDelete

Is AP a brand of flour or a type?ReplyDeleteReplies
AP is just all-purpose flour. I use so many different flours, I write it that way just to keep them all straight! Hope that helps!Delete
- AnonymousOctober 2, 2013 at 2:53 PM
Made these using lime, instead of lemon, and rolled, while warm, in a mixture of powdered sugar and dehydrated lime juice (True Lime).ReplyDelete
Reminded me of the cookies from Florida.

Sea Salt ? Is this course or fine sea salt?ReplyDeleteReplies
I used fine sea salt originally, but I've used kosher as well and it works fine. I'll make a note on the recipe. Thank!Delete
I had many compliments on these cookies. ThanksReplyDelete
I have made these cookies several times since you first posted the recipe. They are easy and fun to make and everyone loves them, they will be made a lot in my houseReplyDelete

This nomination is for the Great Gobi Strict Protected Area, protecting the Mongolian portion of a largely undisturbed part of the vast Gobi desert, and provides a last refuge for representatives of the ancient terrestrial fauna of Central Asia. The Protected area is devided into two ecologically distinct parts, Southern Altai ('Gobi A") and the Dzungarian Gobi ("Gobi B"), separated by 300 km. Scientists have identified 410 species of plants, 49 species of mammals, 15 reptiles and amphibians and over 150 bird species. Though the Southern Altai Gobi's vast plains and valleys and rugged. arid mountam ranges appear almost lifeless from a distance, the area provides a last haven for some of the rarest and most endangered species of wildlife round on earth. Perhaps 30 Gobi bears (Ursus arctos), the world's only desert-living bear, as well as Mongolia's last wild Bactrian camels (Camelus Bactrianus) inhabit the protected area. The Dzungarian was the last refuge for the world's only remaining truly wild horse, the Takhi, or Prezewalski's horse (Equus przewalskii), and is one of two sites where international organizations are assisting with reintroduction of the species from zoos and horses reserves in Europe and Russia.

LOS ANGELES, January 16, 2013— Dear Oprah,
Thanks to you and Lance Armstrong, it is time for me to finally come clean and face my demons.
As you know, rumors of my abuse of certain substances have been swirling around since my playing days ended. One minute I was a championship football player, and the next minute I was out of the game. Since stories of athletes behaving badly seem to be all the rage these days, please let me prostrate before you so my national redemption may begin.
For those in your audience who are not familiar with the intricacies of football, think of it like cycling, except remotely interesting. None of the games take place in France. There is no surrender in football. There is also no "I" in the word "quit." Just go with it for now.
Anyway Oprah, the three championships I won playing coed touch football seem like a distant memory. The last one was in 2010. The secret to winning championships was easy. The team was great before my arrival and great after my departure. As a "situational role player," I did no harm. I even scored a few touchdowns.
Yet then performance suppressors took it all away. Some people are addicted to performance enhancers, but nobody gives attention to performance suppressors. Thanks to my story, now you can help save more lives.
For years I have been using performance suppressors. I would eat a bag of Taco Doritos and wash it down with Dr. Brown's Black Cherry Soda. Before some games an entire half a pound of ground beef would be consumed. Not only that, the waiter would give me this magic red liquid that made the burger and the fries taste fantastic. The waiter called it ketchup, but it may have been catsup.
It was all fun and games at first, but then sluggishness would set in. The other players were in their twenties, but as age forty approached, my body could not do it anymore. Retirement was the only option.
I know the stories of John Matuszak and Lyle Alzado, but performance suppressors have taken hold of me. Nowadays a big lunch is followed up by a nap since I am too tired to get on the stationary bike that I still have not purchased.
Ban me, Olympics! Take away my endorsements! I don't care anymore! Man was not meant to live on fruits and vegetables. Real food tastes good!
In college it was "cool." My friends and I even belonged to the "Lethargy Club." We had an official club high-five, where the hands would miss. Our mascot was the Lethargizer Bunny. "He keeps going, and going, and wait…he's stopped, he's down, he's asleep." Other kids had the "Care Bears." We had the "I don't Care Bears." There was Lethargy Bear, Apathy Bear, and Screw It Bear.
Yet the real world has proven cold. Performance suppressors are so destructive. Maybe that is why Michelle Obama is trying to ban them.
Anyway, Oprah, my coming clean now is a cry for help. Now I drink Diet Cherry 7-Up. It has anti-oxidants, so it has to be healthy. The Doritos have been replaced with Pringles, which come in a clean pop top and do much less long-term damage to fingers. Back in my Doritos days, I would have to wash my hands for over a minute just to remove the orange layer of taco flavor.
My attempt to parlay my success at the coed touch level into an NFL career is in ruins. Perhaps being 5 feet 5 and 143 pounds may have something to do with it, but without the performance suppressors my weight could drop to 128. I can bench 500, if by bench you means sitting on one while watching the game. Sportsbars really could use lounge chairs.
Thank you for reaching out to me Oprah. Don't be too hard on Lance Armstrong. Inspired by Al Gore, America now has performance credits. They are carbon credits for athletes. My performance suppressors now cancel out his performance credits. Now both of us are redeemed.
The next time anyone criticizes my weight or yours Oprah, just remember that every person consuming chips and soda and red meat is a counter-balance to athletes getting juiced up on something more potent than Juicy-Juice.
I came clean for the children, Oprah. You're welcome.
Somewhat sincerely,

Marine Places
North Jutland Dunes
Much of the northern coastline of Denmark's Jutland Peninsula consists of sand dunes, which cover several thousand square miles of coast. These dunes are "active" in that they have a natural tendency to migrate along the coast, carried by wind (sand drift) and wave erosion. In some areas, attempts have been made to restrict this dune drift, to prevent sand from inundating summer houses. Some early attempts were fruitless. For example, sand fences were built into the dunes during World War II, but the dunes have since moved behind them, leaving the fences on the beach. More recently, many dune areas have been stabilized more successfully by planting with grasses and conifer trees.

Fig. 26.3. Lymphatic filariasis. The distribution of W. bancrofti (A) and B. malayi (B). B. timori is confined to parts of Indonesia
Bancroftian filariasis (Fig. 26.3) has no known reservoir, whereas B. malayi, which occurs in South and Southeast Asia, has a large animal reservoir. Lymphatic filariasis affects people living in both rural and urban environments. It is generally acquired as a teenager or young adult, and more often affects men than women. Other Brugia spp. are principally animal parasites, and only occasionally infect humans (e.g., B. pahangi). The B. malayi zoonotic infection is difficult to control because both domestic and wild animals act as a source for human infection. Hence, the mass chemotherapy programs which are used in peoples infected with W. bancrofti may not be as effective in B. malayi. The mosquito Culex quinquefasciatus is a significant vector of bancroftian filariasis: Anopheles spp. and Aedes spp. are also important vectors with different biting habits. Culex quinquefasciatus breeds in tropical urban areas and in polluted water and, like Anopheles spp., feeds largely at night and is endophilic. Urban malaria spray control programs are therefore also effective for some filariasis. Aedes spp., transmitting lymphatic filariasis in Southeast Asia and the South Pacific, are more difficult to control because they are diurnal, exophilic, and breed in tiny deposits of water in man-made objects in cities as well as tree holes or crab holes in rural environments. Mansonia spp. are important vectors of B. malayi in the Orient. The larvae of these mosquitoes puncture the submerged portions of certain species of water plants to obtain oxygen. This, together with the adults' variable feeding and resting behavior, makes Mansonia spp. a particularly difficult vector to control. Chemical larviciding spray programs have met with success in some regions along with the use of chemical impregnated clothing and anti-mosquito bed nets. Biological control continues to be investigated.
Most of our understanding of the pathogenesis of lymphatic filariasis comes from patients with W. bancrofti infection. Prior to World War II, little was known about this disease. During and following the South Pacific campaign, numerous U. S. soldiers infected with W. bancrofti were treated and studied. Histological studies from biopsies of these servicemen, together with experimental studies of animals, suggest that the host inflammatory response to the worms in the lymphatics is important in pathogenesis and is both humoral and cell-mediated. Animal studies with brugian parasites have shown that, in addition to the tissue reaction caused by the host immune response to infection, lymphatic damage is also the result of the direct mechanical or toxic effects of the nematode within the lymphatic vessels or lymph nodes.
degree of immunity or immunological responsiveness to filarial parasites
is different between people native to an endemic region and those people
arriving from nonendemic areas. The endemic individual, who is hyporesponsive,
will have a relatively mild lymph node response and may therefore not
develop the same lymphatic pathology as the nonendemic person, or it
may progress at a slower rate. Human and animal studies both suggest
that secondary bacterial infections aggravate preexisting lymphatic
pathology in filariasis and cause exacerbation of lymphedema.
The dead worms are of more significance than the living, although neither are desirable guests. Adult male and female filarial worms reside in different sites of the body (Fig. 26.4), usually in afferent channels or cortical sinuses of lymph nodes. Abdominal, pelvic, femoral, inguinal, supraclavicular, and epitrochlear lymph nodes can all be involved. The larval or adult worms first cause dilatation of the lymphatics, an effect which is likely in part mechanical as these lymphatic channels are tiny and intraluminal valves are easily damaged (Fig. 26.5). Hypertrophy of the vessel wall occurs next, followed by endothelial and connective tissue proliferation which ultimately protrudes into the lumen. The lymph vessels tend to remain patent as long as the nematodes are alive, but tortuosity and development of early collateral vessels also occur even at this stage.
It is the dead or dying worms which elicit the most severe inflammation, and it is during these episodes that lymphatics become completely obstructed. Lymphatic endophlebitis may ensue and, although there is some collateralization and recanalization, obstruction persists and increases in severity. The common end result is an inguinal or femoral lymphadenovarix.

Note thin cuticle, paired uteri containing microfilariae, and single intestine. x75. B Chronic orchitis with gravid female worm in dilated testicular lymphatic. x55. (From Marty and Anderson 1995).
The histopathological changes in lymph nodes include:
Dilatation of lymphatic channels and subcapsular sinusoids
early infection, lymph node follicles are hyperplastic, while later,
in chronic disease, the follicles are atrophic. These lymph node changes
are so characteristic that the diagnosis of filariasis may be suggested
confidently even though adult or larval worms are not identified. The
most common site to find larval or adult nematodes is in prenodal afferent
channels, in capsular lymphatics, or in subcapsular sinusoids. Necrotizing
granulomas may be found around dead or dying nematodes and are composed
of eosinophils and giant cells. Healing may occur with calcification
and scarring around degenerating worm fragments.
Although the lymphatic pattern is well described, the pathogenesis of renal disease is only partially understood. Microfilariae have been seen in glomerular capillaries and when alive do not cause renal lesions. Chronic antigenemia or circulating immune complexes result in a membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis which can cause the acute nephrotic syndrome.

According to the newly released Clean Tech Job Trends 2009 report issued by research firm Clean Edge, energy efficiency provides the most bang (i.e., jobs) for your buck. The report attributes stimulus dollars and increased recognition by companies, utilities, and governments that energy efficiency is a cost effective method for dealing with volatile energy prices in helping drive the job growth. Efficiency is referred to as the fifth fuel after coal, natural gas, nuclear, and renewables.
The report cites statistics from the Political Economy Research Institute (PERI)—an independent unit of the University of Massachusetts, Amherst—indicating that building retrofits related to energy efficiency create seven direct jobs per million dollars invested. For comparison purposes, wind and solar create 4.3 and 5.4 direct jobs, respectively, per million dollars. According to the PERI researchers, investments in clean energy will generate roughly three times more jobs than spending the same amount of money within our fossil fuel energy infrastructure.
Clean Edge identifies key sectors in which clean-tech jobs are now emerging including energy, transportation, water, and (building) materials. It also identifies the top 15 U.S. metro areas for clean-tech job activity with San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose, CA coming in at the top.
The jobs report is available for download on the Clean Edge website. Forbes also prepared a special report on the untapped potential of energy efficiency in July 2008.
On October 19, Vice President Biden unveiled Recovery Through Retrofit, a report detailing the results of a multi-agency initiative to examine how best to create a self-sustaining home energy efficiency retrofit industry. The report identifies a series of barriers including a lack of access to information, financing, and skilled workers.

I've been doing street pickup for about 9 months now. I actually started around the time that the first SimplaPickup videos came out. It's been a very slow process but I'm finallly starting to see success. I've just started filming a couple of my pickups. I've attached 2 videos of pickups I did in London. I've found that getting numbers is difficult as a lot of the time girls wont reply to me after they've met me in the street. I've found it's best to try and get them to go on a date there and then. These 2 videos show 2 of my pickups where the girls agreed to go on the dates.
One thing from both of these pickups is that I only speak to the girls for a very short amount of time. I usually try to ask for a a coffee date when I get to the first natural lull in the conversation. The first girl I asked after we had been talking to 3 minutes and she agreed. The second girls said no the first time, but I kept talking and asked again and she said yes 1 minute later. I think persistence is key when picking girls up on the street.
I've only been doing street pickup for 9 months so any feedback on my style is very welcome

A collection of relevant and timely media clips and resources.
Posted on January 25, 2012
In our alert last year, we reported about the new Discover Pass that is now required when accessing certain public lands in Washington by motor vehicle. House Bill 2217, sponsored by state Representatives Christopher Hurst (D-31), Cathy Dahlquist (R-31) and Dan Kristiansen (R-39), would make necessary improvements to the taxing Discover Pass. To learn what areas of land the pass is now required for access, please see this excerpt from the Discover Pass' website:
The pass allows access to state recreation lands and water access sites managed by Washington State Parks (State Parks), Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) and Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR). These lands include state parks, water access points, heritage sites, wildlife and natural areas, trails and trailheads. The Discover Pass will be needed to access DNR's developed or designated recreation areas, sites, trailheads and parking areas.
HB 2217 would allow the annual pass and day-use pass to be transferable among vehicles registered at the same address as current law restricts each pass to one vehicle/license plate only. Additionally, it would prohibit the collection of dealer fees for the issuance of a Discover Pass (the current dealer fee is $2.00).
HB 2217 will be heard in the state House Committee on General Government Appropriations & Oversight at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, January 26th, in Hearing Room C of the John L. O'Brien Building in Olympia. Please contact members of the House Committee on General Government Appropriations & Oversight TODAY and respectfully urge them to support HB 2217. Also, please leave your state Representative a short message on the toll-free hotline at 1-800-562-6000 and request their support. To determine your state Representative, please click here.

Writing a children's books sounds easy. After all, the text is minimal, the length is manageable, and the illustrations do the heavy lifting. Simple enough, right? Well, not really. Successful children's books have a good story, great pacing, terrific illustrations, and an original concept – and none of that comes easy.
We asked Blurb authors, Wade Alger and Jim Wegerbaur (known as "Wegs"), how they went about creating their beautiful children's book, "Sarah No Doubt." Both authors and their illustrator, who goes by the name "Bayo", work at advertising firms so they know a thing or two about storytelling and marketing. Wade represented the bunch in our interview. Read on for insights and answers on self-publishing, children's books, and book promotion in the brave new world of publishing.
Blurb: We loved your book – great story, beautiful illustrations. Have you ever written children's books before? What inspired this book?
Wade: We have not. Honestly I was inspired to write this book around nine years ago when my wife was pregnant with twins. People gave us books as gifts and I quickly discovered there are some really bad ones out there (and some classics). So I sat down one night and penned "Sarah No Doubt". I showed it to Wegs about a year later and he said we have to do something with this.
Blurb: What resources did you turn to help create your book? Did you get any help with the writing and sequencing?
Wade: Both Wegs and I pored over children's books. And apps. And sites. We researched what seemed to work best and what formulas there are. We didn't have any help with the writing or sequencing, we just had our research, so in a sense, we were inspired by other writers. Are there mistakes in "Sarah No Doubt"? We're sure of it. But it seems to flow pretty well. Second one will be better. And the third will be the charmed one. Or so the saying goes.
Blurb: What were the advantages for you in self-publishing this book rather than going the traditional publishing route?
Wade: Complete creative control. Wegs, Bayo, and I work in advertising where creative control is a rarity, so to have that freedom really worked to our advantage.
Blurb: What are you doing to promote and market this book? What has been the most successful thing you've done to market the book?
Wade: We really haven't started yet. For us, Blurb was originally a way to create prototypes and receive some feedback. But the feedback has been so overwhelming that we are reevaluating our entire plan. The possibilities are endless.
Blurb: So what sort of possibilities are you thinking about for "Sarah No Doubt"?
Wade: We're open to all the possibilities out there, but we strongly desire to maintain both our artistic vision and brand equity. We see this book as the beginning of a franchise and feel comfortable that our experience in marketing may well add a fresh approach to how books are brought into people's lives.
And we see partnerships with other brands and philanthropies as one avenue to disrupt the current dominant system. All of these things are possible without the aid of the traditional publishing system.
Blurb: Can you offer any tips to people self-publishing children's books? Any good online resources to turn to?
Wade: Do your research. The classics are out there. And they're classics for a reason. I'm not saying we are one of them or will ever be but they sure do give you a great blueprint. Not too mention that they set a very high bar.
Blurb: How did you find your illustrator? Any tips for children's books authors looking for illustrators?
Wade: After an exhausting two-year search for an illustrator to collaborate with, we were set on a very talented artist who had worked on another book we both admired. But then one day at work, I happened to walk by something extraordinary on a co-worker's computer. That co-worker was Bayo. Someone so quiet, I wasn't quite sure what he did at the agency. Little did I know that the amazing artwork on his computer was just a small taste of his extensive portfolio. I called Wade and said, "I think we have a new illustrator." He saw Bayo's work and agreed wholeheartedly. From there, we spent over four months discussing and defining the look and feel of the book before Bayo dove into the project.
Blurb: Is there anything we didn't ask you that you think would be good for an aspiring self-published children's book author to know?
Wade: Be patient. Understand you will make mistakes. And never let any review, good or bad, go to your head or cause you to second-guess what you did.
Many thanks to Wade, Wegs, and Bayo. "Sarah No Doubt" was featured in a recent post on IndieReader.com and we look forward to spreading the word about any future books by these guys in what's sure to be a great children's book series.
