Interface: A Critique
First Page Critique
Tom Faraday awoke feeling like he had been sleeping forever, and immediately struggled to recall where he was, or how he had got there. Some nights, he reflected, you hope you remember. Others you hope you forget. Tom was not sure which category the previous night would crystallise under. Right now he was just feeling the after effects of what must have been an evening of extraordinary excess.
He rolled over in the hotel bed and blinked repeatedly. The alarm clock read 8:30 a.m. Next to the clock was his watch, and next to that an electronic card key for his room. Picking it up he saw he was at the Western Star Hotel, in Waterloo, central London. This seemed vaguely familiar, but a stabbing pain deep in his head was making it hard to think clearly. He slipped on his watch, a present from his mother, slid out of bed and padded across to where his suitcase lay open. From a small zipped compartment he retrieved paracetamol and swallowed them down with gulps from a bottle of mineral water. He then stumbled into the bathroom, and was greeted by a tired visage in the mirror. His eyes were bloodshot, hair unkempt, stubble unusually obvious. He stroked his chin distractedly, thinking he must have forgotten to shave the previous day.
Back on the desk he found an elegantly printed invitation, and as he read it his memories started to return. The card bore his name in calligraphic handwriting, and was to the launch party for CERUS Technologies' new office building. Tom rubbed his eyes and thought hard. What did he know?
He knew his name. He knew his age: 26. He remembered his job. He was a lawyer at CERUS Technologies. And he remembered the party.
He remembered getting there by taxi, late on Friday night. He remembered William Bern's speech. And he remembered drinking a few beers. And then a few more. Perhaps a lot more. Of the trip back to the hotel, he remembered nothing. Friday night had come and gone.
He stretched slowly and looked for another bottle of water. Apart from the headache he did not feel too bad. Hopefully no harm done, and the rest of the weekend to recover. The noise of a mobile phone ringing broke him from his thoughts. His phone. He retrieved it from his pocket, noticing the battery was nearly dead.
Critique by Nancy J. Cohen
The opening line is great. It immediately draws me in, wondering the same thing as the character. Where is he, and what is he doing there? I would delete "he reflected." We're in his viewpoint, and that qualifier is unnecessary.
Crystallize has a "z" not an "s".
Delete the "just" before "just feeling." This is one of those overused words. For more info in this regard, please see my review of a fabulous self-editing program at http://bit.ly/12iU9nZ. The Smart-Edit software points out all the words and phrase you overuse and much more.
What kind of drug is paracetamol?
I'd separate into a new paragraph, "The noise of a mobile phone…"
The cell phone is in his pocket? Is he still wearing his clothes from the night before? Or did he get dressed in them?
So the guy is hungover from a workplace party. I'm intrigued, but I am wondering where this is going. Hopefully the caller will inject more information. You do point of view very well, and I have no problems with the pacing especially if a dialogue ensues.
At first, I thought Tom had memory loss and couldn't remember how he got where he is. But he does seem to recall everything, except maybe the cab ride back to the hotel. Then again, where does he normally live? My questions tell you I am hooked and would read more. I'd be hoping, though, that something happens to tell me all isn't right and things are going to get hairier from here on in. Good job and Happy Fourth of July!

This is written in Brit English - we like to keep our "s" where we can... paracetamol is a mild painkiller.ReplyDelete
I would personally change the first line to "Tom Faraday awoke feeling like he had slept forever"
I agree, I'm wondering where this is going, but the writing is good enough to keep me going a while longer :)Replies
Yes, the writing does draw one in.Delete
I don't favor openings with a character alone, thinking. And someone waking up and wondering about the night before has been done so much it's a cliche. This is all really "telling" us about the character, e.g. he remembers his name, age and occupation in a single paragraph. It feels like set-up material.ReplyDelete
My advice in these matters is to cut everything until the first moment where there is another character in the scene. Or at least the solo character acting or reacting to some disturbing stimulus. If that means tossing this entire scene, so be it. Readers do not bond with characters who are just thinking or feeling. They bond with characters who are in trouble, or face change or challenge, even if it's minor.
Many writers think the readers have to know a lot of expositional material up front in order to make sense of the scene. They don't. They'll wait. Act first, explain later.Replies
I'm with Jim, here. In reality, nothing happens until the phone rings. As a reader, I would be interested in knowing if whoever is calling brings good or bad news. But up until that point, the information means nothing to me. Also, watch out for passive voice, and the shift into second person in the first paragraph. Thanks to the author for submitting.Delete
Good points. And it depends on what happens with that phone call. If it's the "call to action" perhaps the first part could be shortened or woven into the conversation.Delete
I've read this same advice in a number of your columns and books. The first time I read it I eliminate over three pages of my first chapter and ended up with a stronger opening.Delete
Great advice.
People waking up, people looking out windows or at themselves in mirrors, opening a first chapter with too much weather--all no nos. Unless, of course, you manage to bring it off.Delete
James, Jim - fair comment. Things are about to happen with the phone call, and I was trying to give it some 'context', but as Nancy suggests, perhaps this could be better woven into the conversation and I can bring the action/jeopardy forward.Delete
Waking up and wondering what has happened to him is central to the plot (and he is about to find out that he is experiencing more than a hangover) - BUT, I agree it comes across as a cliche. Page 2 might be 'great', but if Page 1 doesn't engage the reader, then they might not turn over... Which is why this 'first page critique' is so illuminating.
Thanks again.
Antony Argyle
The overuse of adverbs pulled me from the reading and the stilted use of "visage" rather than face yanked me out.ReplyDelete
The drug name needs more of an explanation. And if it is a painkiller, why would he be drinking alcohol? Presumably it's a prescription for an ailment or injury, not a mere hangover headache remedy. If it IS like aspirin, then use the generic reference and say aspirin.
The opening paragraph sets up that memory loss or drinking binges happen a lot to this guy. Not sure how good a lawyer he would be if that were the case, but by the end if this short intro, he says that he's feeling pretty good and it seems he recalls quite a bit (except the ride home), so the set up is diminished quickly and feels like a sham to pull the reader in with an overstatement that is reversed within a few short paragraphs.
It seems odd that he wouldn't remember checking in to a hotel if that presumably happened prior to the party and he had his luggage there. He hadn't been drinking then, or else he wouldn't have remembered so much about how he got there by taxi. So the details of what he recalls are not consistent.
I agree with other comments made and your summary, Nancy. There is enough intrigue that I might keep reading as a reader, but if I am an acquisitions editor, all those adverbs could make me stop, given all the other books I am reading in my slushpile.
Thanks to the author for submitting.Replies
Let me add that there is a lot to like about this author's writing style and sense of mystery storytelling. Book starts are a challenge for me and other writers. Author, keep working on this intro, but again, there us a lot to like in this submission.Delete
The passage does have a lot of "ly" words now that you mention it. I didn't even notice during my first reading.Delete
Ahem, yet it does have a lot of adverbs. Jordan, Nancy, appreciate your constructive comments. The drug is what is more commonly known (in the US) as Tylenol, but it could just as easily have been aspirin, and I really would rather not confuse/distract a potential reader.Delete
Then why not say he popped an analgesic into his mouth?Delete
Hi - sorry I've re-read my comment and I may have been unclear (again). What I meant was that I agree with the comments, and that I should have said aspirin (so it's clear it's for his headache). I'll stop now... :osDelete
I'm sure that in the American version of this, some editor would swap in Tylenol. If you live in Britain -- or you read enough books written by British authors -- you know perfectly well what paracetamol is.Delete
An American writer mentioning a car's trunk might well confuse a British reader, who'd spend time wondering why a large piece of baggage is strapped to a car.
I'll be contrary here to James and Joe: I don't really mind the slow opening because it tells me something not good has already happened to this man. But the sooner something live DOES happen (ie a phone call, a knock on door or on his head) the better. So tighten your opening down as much as you can to increase tension:ReplyDelete
Tom Faraday awoke feeling like he had been sleeping forever.
NEW GRAPH then give him a movement that SHOWS us he can't recall where he is rather than TELLING us "[he] immediately struggled to recall where he was, or how he had got there.
Some nights, he [reflected...a very aware word, like mused. Just thought?] you hope you remember. Others you hope you forget. Tom was not sure which category the previous night would crystallise under. [Right now he was just feeling the after effects of what must have been an evening of extraordinary excess...delete? Because you are showing us this]
Generally, very well written and I'd keep going.
"He rolled over in the hotel bed and blinked repeatedly." Take out hotel here because he doesn't remember where he is until next line. I'd lose repeatedly too.
"Padded over to his suitcase." Just a pet peeve, but "padded" is a silly little word for a grown man. I think of little forest animals, toddlers or drunks whenever I see it.
Good job!Replies
PJ - excellent thoughts, and wish I could afford this type of analysis for the entire MS...! I am psyched to go back and make this better :)Delete
I liked it and got the impression that some action would be right around the corner. A one page solitary set-up doesn't bother me too much as long as something happens on page two.ReplyDelete
I think the character has lost more than one day and I'd hope for a body or blood found on page two.Replies
MG - you win a prize (although that may be an eBook version of the entire MS, so don't get too excited...).Delete
Good opening, but I'd like to see or feel or hear something happening sooner.ReplyDelete
Think it's a really strong opening, but it could be stronger. I'd suggest getting a bit more intimate with the character and remove all filter and thought words. We want the reader to basically put him/herself in the head of the character and experience the scene through their eyes. Each filter, which there were a few, along with adverbs, take us out of his head. Cutting down on on those, opening up the adverbs, and refraining from overuse of the character's name, I think, would make this opening boom.ReplyDelete
Nice job at catching my interest though. Splendid!
DC Stone
Many thanks to Nancy and TKZ for including the opening page of 'Interface' on this feature.ReplyDelete
I've read the comments with great interest and find them both encouraging and insightful. Up to this point I've had a number of beta readers (of the whole MS), but all of them have been friends or acquaintances who have probably felt duty bound to read beyond the first few pages; a 'real' potential reader may make a much quicker judgement - which is the whole purpose of this first page critique. It is fascinating and instructive to see these experienced and independent views on why someone would keep reading, and why they would not. I feel inspired to go back and make things better.
Many thanks again for everyone's time.
Antony Argyle
Although I agree with JSB that I always opt for action versus thought and reflection for an opening, this is quite smooth and I enjoyed the writer's voice. Also enjoyed everyone's comments for improvements to it.ReplyDelete

Sabrisho IV
Sabrishoʿ IV bar Qayyoma was Patriarch of the Church of the East from 1222 to 1224.
Brief accounts of Sabrishoʿ's patriarchate are given in the Ecclesiastical Chronicle of the Jacobite writer Bar Hebraeus (floruit 1280) and in the ecclesiastical histories of the fourteenth-century Nestorian writers ʿAmr and Sliba.
Sabrisho's patriarchate[edit]
The following account of Sabrishoʿ's patriarchate is given by Bar Hebraeus:
Yahballaha II was succeeded by Sabrishoʿ, his nephew by his brother, also as a result of the gold which he conveyed to the governor by the hand of the celebrated Amin al-Dawla Abu'lkarim, son of Thomas, namely 7,000 dinars. He died on the second Sunday of the month, on the eighth day of the sixth month of the year 622 of the Arabs (AD 1225/6), and was buried next to his uncle. He was succeeded by Sabrishoʿ bar Masihi.[1]

Do You Remember
Description: [Moa] -
feat. Mirage
We used to talk about future life
That we could reach the sky
Without learning how to fly
Don't let somebody say
How to spend lonely days far away
Wake up your mind stupid
Don't let it drift somewhere far away
I don't want to see you fade away
I don't ever want to see you fade
Tell me why, you are giving up without a try?
Do you remember when
I used to touch you
Do you remember when
I used to feel for you
Don't let somebody say
How to spend lonely days far away
Wake up your mind stupid
Don't let it drift somewhere far away

Christian Therapy
What about Christian-based therapy makes it more effective than a secular approach?
By Christian therapy, we're talking about our willingness to explore the spiritual aspect of your being and how it relates to your recovery. This is an area many non-Christian counseling centers choose not to venture into. The spiritual aspect is but one aspect of our whole-person approach, which also includes the emotional, physical, intellectual, relational and nutritional issues at play. As a Christian, your counseling services should be reflected in the PTSD treatment, OCD treatment, depression help, treatment for addiction or eating disorder treatment you receive. What is most important to note is that we address every client as the individual they are. We'll take the time to get to know who you are and what is happening in your world. Our ability to treat the individual through our comprehensive whole-person approach is certain to serve you well.
When you join us at our all-inclusive Christian counseling center you'll be amazed at the safe and supportive feel of the environment you enter into. We have spent well over two decades offering unique, innovative and specialized treatment programs for those battling addictions, depression, eating disorders, emotional and sexual abuse and more.
- We have comprised a staff to address every aspect of your emotional, physical and spiritual well-being
- Individual and group treatments
- Work with Christian therapy professionals who value your faith
- Find an atmosphere of acceptance in which you are encouraged to be yourself and say what is on your mind
- We offer a variety of housing options
- We accept most forms of insurance
The type of all-inclusive care you'll receive at A Place of Hope is designed to allow you to focus specifically on your recovery. If you've been searching for a Christian therapy facility that allows you to connect your spirituality to your recovery we can help. Don't spend another day doubting God's love for you and punishing yourself for the road you've gone down and the issues you've struggled with. Every day offers a chance at renewal, and our treatment facility offers the hope that healing is possible because we see it every day.
Knowledge is power, so call today to learn more about A Place of Hope and the Christian counseling services and treatment programs we offer. We offer help for depression, PTSD treatment and counseling for a host of other issues as well. We hope you'll join us in an environment ripe for healing, and discover the keys to a lasting recovery and a new lease on life.

NY 20 : Our 21st Century Saratoga
1777 was a dark year for the forces of American freedom. British forces were engaged in an elaborate strategy to capture the largest cities in the Colonies and divide and conquer the American rebels.
It all came to naught along the banks of the Hudson in what was probably the most decisive battle in the history of the Western Hemisphere--the Battle of Saratoga.
The Battle of Saratoga did not signal the demise of British resistance to American independence; but it ended any hopes the Crown had of a decisive victory on the battlefield to end the war.
The Republican Party faces a decisive battle on the same battlefield this spring. Kirsten Gillibrand's ascension to the U.S. Senate opens up her House seat. And the district is centered around---Saratoga.
I've attached the wikipedia article on the district. The district is a white, suburban/rural district. As the CQ profile indicates , it's heavily weighed towards married couples living in owner -occupied housing; with relatively little poverty or very wealthy voters. I would note that the district in by no means monolitihic, however, as it reaches from the far edge of the NYC TV market to deep in the Adirondacks.
Let's look at the geography: Dutchess, Columbia and Greene counties are in the Hudson Valley. This area was Gillibrand's home area, and has shifted left during recent years due to ex-pat NYC residents; it's really too far to commute from these towns to the northern suburbs, let alone Manhattan. Columbia County voted Kerry in 2004 , when Bush ran well in suburban NYC.
Delaware and Otsego counties are part of the Binghamton TV market. They are small and usually dependably Republican.
Warren, Washington and Essex counties are the "North Country". The Glens Falls area is a micropolitan area of a bit less than 100,000 residents with its own radio stations, daily newspaper, and local insitutions.; although the broadcast TV is from Albany. The North Country is reliably Republican, but outside Glens Falls, thinly populated.
The Albany suburbs are the linchpin of the district. Saratoga and Renssalaer counties are bedroom communitiies for Metro Albany. There is an academic/horse racing influence in Saratoga Springs (Skidmore College); but the larger community here is fast growing Clifton Park, which is soccer mom nirvana.
The presidential race numbers from 2008 were not encouraging, but McCain never competed in NY. Obama won every county besides Greene and Delaware; but his plurality in the other counties ranged from Columbia's 56% to Washington's 49.5% , In 2004 Bush also did not contest NY State, but won every county in the 20th besides Renssalear and Columbia.
A more accurate portrayal of partisan balance in this district was probably the 2000 Clinton/Lazio race. Hillary Clinton won statewide by 12 points, and ran very well in upstate NY, yet failed to achieve a plurality in any county within the 20th District besides Rensselaer. (and that is a bit deceptive; the strongest Democratic precincts in Rennselaer are in central Troy; which is and has been in the 21st District; I'm sure Lazio won the 20th District portion). The rest of the district yielded a 52% to 60% Lazio win.
The NY State Board of Elections shows the GOP has a 71,000 voter registration edge . So the Charlie Cook (R + 3) rating understates the potential GOP vote here; especially as virtually every state legislator representing this part of the state is a Republican.
We may have a plethora of candidates while the Democrats may need to import one from the adjoining district. This worries me, though. None of the GOP names (Treadwell, Little, Faso) are from the politically crucial county of Saratoga, where the GOP hasn;t recently matched its 30,000 vote registration edge with election day pluralities; and which will potentially be amenable to an Albany based interloper. Treadwell particularly strikes me in this failed model.
I would suggest that the NY Republicans look long and hard at a less partisan candidate from the district's political wheelhouse, who has a strong record fighting crime against women.
Whoever we pick,---and we'd better pick a winner-- we simply cannot lose this race. This is the House version of the Chambliss runoff.
We win the 2009 Battle of Saratoga and we are back on the path to victory.
We lose----well, there was another set of battles in this part of NY State a few decades before Saratoga.
The daily in Glens Falls, the Post-Star, is reporting that the Republican county chairmen for this district will meet Tuesday. A weighed voting system will be used to choose a nominee. No word on whether they will choose a candidate at this meeting; under NYS election law there is no primary for special elections, so it's boss rule
Treadwell has reportedly decided not to jump in as per the Post- Star . The present candidates are State Senator Betty Little; Assembly Minority Leader Jim Tedisco, and former Assembly minority leader and 2006 gubernatorial candidate John Faso.
Any particular issues this candidate should run on? You're after planning strategy. Issues are supposed to be a part of the strategy.
Do or Die
Go for it!! Are you going to be the Tories, or the Whig sympathizers?? Joking, joking.
But remember that the Revolutionary War wasn't settled until many years after Saratoga: 1781, in fact, when Cornwallis surrendered to Washington at Yorktown in Virginia, hundreds of leag and a world apart from Saratoga. Washington's Continental Army succeeded in their war of liberation by the grace of God, and Napoleon Bonaparte, and many unlikely confluences.
It's true Burgoyne surrendered at Saratoga, but he was leading a pittance of an army, less than 5k men. By way of contrast, at the battle of Waterloo a couple decades later, Wellington fought Napoleon's Grande Armée with 75,000 men.
No, Burgoyne's Army was only the smaller Northern British portion: Generals Howe and Clinton had sizable forces occupying New York and Philadelphia, and Burgoyne had received approval to try and join up with them in Albany.
I disagree completely that Saratoga compares with El Alamein and Midway in WWII. Saratoga was a milestone for the Continentals, but it had little tactical or strategic effect on the years of battles and marches and campaigns, and especially the struggles for unity and political capital Washington and the Continentals faced in those early years.
As Obama so brilliantly recalled in his masterful Inaugural Address, after Saratoga, that 1777 Valley Forge Winter, the Continentals were badly supplied and hungry, and within one or maybe two battles with British Redcoats, Hessians and Cavalry of losing it all and being rounded up and hung like traitors.
It was only France's entry in early 1778, and the incomparable moral lift they got from naval support and the professionalism of Von Steuben that helped that Army regain its footing and fight on to Yorktown.
May Not Matter
It's most likely that this district will be broken up after 2010 redistricting because NY is due to lose House seats (perhaps more than one). Even if a Republican wins, which is likely, they may have a short run in the House.
I enjoy reading these types of analyses though.
Re. that "failed model," it's
Re. that "failed model," it's conclusion was this: "We need to change the 'face'' of the party. The new face may have some folks who are moderates, or have no political background, or who are authentic conservative activists. But it can't be more old time insiders . . ."
Let me suggest that you broaden your vision of what that "new face" might look like. Specifically, I'm referring to the model described in a "Looking for renewal in the wrong places" post here. Look north and south for two exemplars who embody this new model - Palin (for sure) and Jindahl (I'm pretty sure).
A few thoughts...
There are some parts of this district that are pretty close to my parents' country house. I know some parts of this district reasonably well.
1) Love the Battle of Saratoga analogy. Winning this race will force the drive by's to admit we're not dead. That's good enough for now.
2) The incompetance of Republicans in New York State is matched only by their corruption. Al D'Amato, George Pataki and Joe Bruno sold their souls to the same Unions that control the Democrat party and ruined what was once a reasonably competitive state party. DO NOT underestimate their ability to screw this up.
3) The politics of this selection make NO sense to me. This move antagonizes the kook liberal base and the corrupt union thugs who run the Democrat Party without any significant political upside. This almost guarantees a divisive primary that can only hurt the party, esp. if Andrew Cuomo gives Paterson a primary challenge.
I also don't buy the argument that he needed to pick someone from upstate. That said, even if he wanted to do that, he should have picked someone from the Rochester area.
4) Greene County is home of that hidden treasure, Hunter Mountain. I used to ski there and (even if my information is dated) know this area. It's a mix of bitter clingers and middle class guido's with bad taste who own weekend homes in the area.
5) The NYC ex-pat phenomenon is very real in this part of the state.

Saratoga County - 20 CD
Today Saratoga County endorsed Assembly Minority Leader Jim Tedisco. He represents 51% of Saratoga County. I expect him to be endorsed by the a majority of the 10 GOP County Chairman in the 20th CD in the next few days. Also running were John Faso (ran for Governor against Elliott Spitzer in 2006), Betty Little (State Senator - Warren County) and Richard Wager (Dutchess County).Tedisco is going to prove to be an excellent candidate. People will love interviewing him. He is VERY good on his feet and will have great appeal to our constituency in the upcoming special election. Governor Patterson knows Tedisco well, and will know how formidable he is. This race has the potential to get national attention given the Hillary-Caroline-Gillibrand MSM soap opera and the fact that it will be the 1st Congressional election after the Obama – Congressional blowout for the Dems.Tedisco will not disappoint.
No. The Dems may bring it up, but I don't believe residency will be an issue. He has lived with his wife in Saratoga Springs on Springs Street (2 blocks from me) for many years. Decision should be made by 10 County Chairs tomorrow. It's never over til it's over.

If you are renting a car and going to the Red Sand or Black Sand beaches make it a jeep . Also try and get a good map . We ended up getting lost looking for the Red Sand Beach and ended up stuck "off road" in a car with very little ground clearance . Tow trucks are not easily located for non greek speaking tourists!See All Member Reviews see more information, plus our editorial review ›

Partners put projects on the map
Explore the Partnerships that make up the National Fish Habitat Action Plan
(Washington, DC) - The winners of the National Fish Habitat Partnership (NFHP)/American Fisheries Society (Habitat Section) Awards were honored for their extraordinary achievements at the Restore America's Estuaries/Coastal Society Summit, in conjunction with the National Fish Habitat Board meeting on Wednesday, November 5th at the Gaylord Convention Center, just outside of Washington, DC. Tim Birdsong (Texas Parks and Wildlife Department) (Guadalupe Bass Restoration Initiative) and the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, Alaska, were named as the recipients of the National Fish Habitat Award for Extraordinary Action in Support of Fish Habitat Conservation. This was the sixth year the National Fish Habitat Awards have been handed out, recognizing outstanding achievements in Fish Habitat Conservation.
Trout Unlimited's Driftless Area Restoration Effort (DARE) and its project manager, Jeff Hastings, were honored Sept. 24 at the Wild Trout Symposium meeting in West Yellowstone, Montana. The Wild Trout Stewardship Award, presented every four years, honors "an outstanding fishery program that makes a strong contribution to the conservation or restoration of a coldwater fishery."
Hastings, who spent more than 20 years as Vernon County conservationist before joining the TUDARE project in 2006, was recognized for his efforts to expand restoration resources and partnerships across the Driftless Area of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois and Iowa.
(Washington, DC) –Today, the National Fish Habitat Partnership released its second video in a series highlighting the work of their 19 Partnerships across the country. The second video in the series spotlights restoration efforts on Grape Creek, a tributary of the Russian River in Sonoma County, CA through the California Fish Passage Forum. Grape Creek was named a National Fish Habitat Partnership "Water to Watch" in 2013 because of the importance of its natural habitat and fish species, which include steelhead trout and coho salmon.

UnRevenge Porn: How 'Rectify' is Changing the Rural Mystery Landscape
A man stands on death row twenty years for the death of his girlfriend, (some of) his family proclaiming his innocence. Then, because of a technicality, the man is let back into the world, into his rural Georgia community, and immediately sets about trying to…well, not much, actually. At least not by the standards of most prison dramas we watch as entertainment. He doesn't try to get revenge on the persons responsible for the death (if there are any), or the people who locked him up. He doesn't show that much effort in solving any mystery, except maybe the mystery of now, of the world that has changed so much in his absence.Read More

Angel M&M's Cake
I get to make this one every year on demand, for my son's birthday. He's a great traditionalist. I first made it when he was 6 as he grew out of the Bob the Builder/Batman phase. The time had come to get back in the kitchen, rather than rely on store-bought birthday cakes, and I have been making it ever since.

Yields: 1 x 9-inch cake
Oven Temp: 300
|Conversion chart
- 12.00 large egg whites
- 1/3 teaspoon(s) fine sea salt
- 1.00 teaspoon(s) cream of tartar
- 3.00 cup(s) confectioners' sugar, sifted
- 1.66 cup(s) white all-purpose flour, sifted
Raspberry Cream Filling
- cup(s) mascarpone cheese
- 1/3 cup(s) raspberry jam
- 8.00 tablespoon(s) (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1.00 cup(s) confectioners' sugar, sifted
- 1.00 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
- 1.33 cup(s) full-fat cream cheese
- M&M's, for decoration
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F convection oven/325 degrees F conventional oven.
- This is a large quantity of meringue to whisk, so you may prefer to do it in two batches in two separate bowls; otherwise use your biggest mixing bowl. Whisk the egg whites with the salt and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form using an electric mixer.
- Now whisk in the sugar, a couple of tablespoons at a time, sprinkling it over the egg whites and whisking for about 20 seconds with each addition. Fold the sifted flour into the meringue in three batches. Divide the mixture between two unbuttered 9-inch nonstick cake pans with removable bases, 3 inches deep.
- Bake the cakes for 35 to 40 minutes until lightly golden on the surface and springy to the touch. Invert the pans and set the cakes aside to cool, without running a knife around the edge.
- To make the filling, blend the mascarpone with the jam in a bowl.
- To make the frosting, beat the butter in a large bowl for about 1 minute using an electric mixer, then add the confectioners' sugar and continue beating for another minute or two until really fluffy. Beat in the vanilla, and then blend in the cream cheese using a large spoon.
- Run a knife around the sides of the pans to remove them. Using a bread knife, split one of the cakes in half. Slice the top off the other one, then cut the cake off its base to make up the middle layer of cake. Spread half the raspberry mascarpone filling over the base of the cake, lay the middle section in place, spread with the remaining raspberry filling and then lay the top on. Smooth the cream cheese frosting over the top and sides of the cake using a small offset spatula. Transfer the cake to a 10-inch cake board, keeping it on the base of the ban. Store in the refrigerator for up to two days, removing it from the fridge 3060 minutes before serving. Decorate with M&M's and candles, or sparklers, close to the time of eating.

'Rundlederwelten' | High-brow exhibit for low-brow sport?
Berlin | If football fans don't like art and art lovers don't like football, whither an exhibit combining the two? Andreas Tzortzis poses the question in the International Herald Tribune about the ongoing "Rundlederwelten" (Round leather worlds) show at the Martin-Gropius-Bau (see Nov 4). The show includes challenging material: video installations, abstraction, sculpture, photography, found objects. Curator Dorothea Strauss mentions an e-mail from a soccer club in southern Germany. "They wrote 'we don't know anything about art, and we're scared, but we're coming anyway,' " Strauss says. "And I thought that was great."
Strauss says the exhibit comes at the proper moment, and she is not referring to the forthcoming World Cup finals. The sport's relationship to culture and society has been coming into focus. "The last decade has seen the construction of corporate-sponsored soccer 'cathedrals,' politicians and chief executives outing themselves as fans, and new soccer journals offering up high-brow dissection of soccer fandom and culture," writes Tzortzis. "It was perhaps only a matter of time before the arrival of a full-fledged art exhibit."

Man threatens to kill people
A Valparaiso man has been charged in connection with threats he made to get a gun and kill people.
Jeffrey S. Riesland, 22, faces up to three years in prison on Class D felony intimidation for the Dec. 30 threats he made at a Valparaiso home.
Court records state Riesland said in front of a woman, "Just wait 'til I get my hands on a (expletive) gun. I'm making a list, and I'm gonna hit everybody I hate" and "I'm gonna (expletive) kill you."

- Conference date: 25–29 August 2008
- Location: Cologne (Germany)
At the new research reactor FRM II in Garching near Munich the beam guide with the highest cold neutron flux is dedicated to Prompt Gamma‐ray Activation Analysis (PGAA) and related neutron capture experiments. We have designed a partially ballistic form of the neutron guide with the aim of concentrating the cold neutrons at the target position of the PGAA experiment. The cold neutron flux with a mean energy of only 1.83 meV was measured about 10.5 cm far from the second exit window and reached intensity of at a gold foil. The PGAA installation is now prepared for three different kinds of measurements—standard PGAA, Neutron Tomography of small samples and position sensitive PGAA, or PGAI for short. We have also measured coincidences in In this paper, we want to introduce the PGAA facility, show the diversity of the recently performed experiments and discuss further possibilities.

We all do this to some extent, and you're certainly not one to hold back claims about strangers. I don't think we need to do much digging for that.
Bottom line is that your children weren't affected negatively in any way whatsoever. Beyond that, Ubereil most certainly didn't intend for them to get affected in any way whatsoever.
YOU were affected because you irrationally felt your children were "attacked" - and that's YOUR mistake.
Now, whether or not Ubereil had a point - I can't say. I won't claim what he did was right or respectful - because it most likely wasn't.
But your reaction was over the top, and that's all there is to it. I bet you know this, you just won't acknowledge it.
Oh, and for the record, I don't think you're a bad parent. I think you're just as loving as the average parent is. I also think you're selling yourself short with your reactionary caveman like presentation of yourself here - and I know with absolute certainty that you're not REALLY limited to that image. But you must understand that most people won't pick up on that - and they will respond to you based on what information you give them.
It's most likely a remnant of the old-fashioned "male ideal" that you find impossible to shred without losing something. I could be wrong, but that's how I read you.

A miracle has occurred. For the first time since I moved into this house in June I can say that my craft room is fully cleaned! So I think that's a good reason for a craft room tour, right? Right. Let's get started.
My craft room is small by anyone's standards. It is the smallest bedroom in our tiny house and I swear I've seen closets in many houses that are bigger than this room. But, it's a good size for a craft room, everything is less than a couple steps from me at any time. I just have to turn to my left or right to grab what I need.
But it's not perfect by any means. I'm quickly running out of space for extra fabric. I'd prefer my tables to be taller and the room can easily become a giant mess in a matter of seconds (I tend to dump things in huge piles around the room).
However there are plenty of helpful organizational hints found in my craft room that can be applied to other rooms.
Lets move around the room in a circle:
I put my ruler and cutting mat on the wall behind my door. Since the door is open most of the time it's good to have flat things behind it.
Your wall is one of the best places to store things. I have hanging racks and shelves for buttons, paint, glitter, ribbons and pens. I have hooks that hold scissors and needle packs. I bought the thread rack from Joann and it's usually completely full.
My sewing table is just fold out one that I already had. I'd like to get a new one but it is the perfect depth for a small room.
Underneath the table is a case that holds all my sewing supplies that don't fit on the racks or I don't use as often like elastic, zippers, and french curves.
My dress form is in the corner. The screw that controls the height broke so now it's permanently a dwarf size form. Usually it serves as a hanger for half finished projects.
I have a tiny bin for trash and two other bins, one for paper recycling and another for fabric scraps that are too small to make clothes from but big enough that I feel bad throwing them away.
I save packing paper under my ironing board for pattern making and tracing.
I put my ironing board by the window because I like the view but also because the window sill serves as a nice shelf while working.
I bought an iron hanger from Ikea and attached it to the wall next to the ironing board
The fabric stash shelf is also from Ikea. I organize my fabric roughly by size and type - craft fabric and cottons, fashion fabric, then muslin fabric and interfacings. Originally I was going to put fabric in boxes until I realized I had way too much. The plastic bags keep in progress project pieces all together.
The room isn't big enough for me to be able to walk all the way around the cutting table but three open sides are ok.
I strung a line across the wall and use clothes pins to hold up pattern pieces.
The bulletin board is part mood board, part "don't lose this stuff" board.
I keep my extra machines and their cases out of the way at the top of the closet.
My yard sleeps in that funny smiley face box.
I keep rolls of wrapping paper and gift bags off to the side and paper crafting supplies on the shelves. I've got everything from marker to scissors to adhesives to magazines, albums and paper. Since I don't scrapbook as much as I sew it's nice to be able to put this all away in the closet.
Lower down are jewelry supplies, beads and little jars of random stuff like jingle bells and mini clothespins.
The bottom are all my candle making supplies - wax, glasses, scent oils, etc.
Besides the technical changes I'd like to make (like taller tables) I'd also like to pretty it up a bit. I have a bunch of orange and white fabric that I want to make into a Roman shade for the window. I'd also like to paint the walls. Right now they are "buy-my-house-beige." I'm thinking I could do a coral or honeysuckle or maybe a green. Or maybe some fancy wallpaper...
So, what should I do to my craft room? Paint it? Get curtains? More lighting? Is there something essential that I'm missing? Do you have a craft room or just a craft desk in a corner?

By Lawrence P. from Riverside, CA on Jan 06, 2009
A little over-priced for a single light fixture, but very cool looking.

SPRINGFIELD GARDENS, N.Y. (WPIX)—Police confirmed that it was a fight between a male driver and his female passenger that caused a 1998 Mercury Sable to race out of control, jump the sidewalk and slam into two children walking home with their father.
It happened just before 5 p.m. Sunday on North Conduit Avenue and 160th Street in Springfield Gardens, Queens.
Eleven-year-old Teajon Sylla and his 4-year-old sister Aicha were returning from a store, where they bought pencils for school, when the car seemed to come out of nowhere and crashed on them.
The father escaped injury, but his daughter was severely hurt and knocked unconscious. She was at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in critical condition and her brother was listed as being stable.
The car tore up a fence and concrete as it careened across the sidewalk. The windshield was shattered. The driver, said to be 39 and not immediately identified and his unidentified passenger escaped injury.
Police hauled the man off to the 113th Precinct where he was held on a charge unrelated to the accident. He was charged with violating an order of protection against the woman who was in the car with him. PIX 11 News observed at the scene but she refused to comment.
Though the police investigation is continuing, there was no indication of criminality involved in the accident. The driver remained at the scene. Residents of the area complained that cars often come racing down North Conduit Avenue as they exited the Belt Parkway.
Sultana Razia stood dazed with her children as she watched police clear the accident scene.
Razia told PIX 11 News that she was close to the Sylla family, who have lived here for three years. She expressed fear that she and her children are vulnerable to such a tragedy unless something is down to stop cars from speeding.
Nine-year-old Mohamed Sylla, who was being cared for by his neighbor, looked frightened. He looked at a reporter and said, "I hope they're still alive. I hope they didn't kill them. I just want them to come home."

Without hops, beer would pretty much taste like bread – or worse. Not that I'm dissing bread or anything. But come on, it's not beer. Hops are vital to the creation of beer, so let's learn a little about them and how to use them.
Hops Varieties
First off there are a lot of varieties of hops out there. Each with its own characteristics. Many can be similar, but there is a wide range out there. You can have ones that are subtle, sharp, spicy, smooth and other adjectives that do and don't start with "S".
Hops are mainly cultivated in the US and Europe. I'm sure there are a few other pockets in the world, but these will be the bulk of what you can get your hands on as a homebrewer. If I'm wrong, please let me know cause I would love to try out some new hops.
What Hops Do
On a very high level they break down into bittering hops (those used for flavor) and aroma hops (those for smell). Bittering hops are usually added at the beginning or before the boil and aroma at the end – or even after the boil is over. Hops have alpha & beta acids. These are what add the specific characteristics to the beer.
Forms of Hops
Besides the styles of hops, they usually come in a few different physical forms – pellet, leaf and whole. Pellets are compressed, dried hop cones. They store well and have a concentrated alpha acid content. Leaf are also dried but not compressed like pellets. Whole is the entire cone. They can be dried or wet (fresh).
Using Hops
Recipes will tell you how much hops to add at a certain alpha acid percent (AA%) and for how long. AA% can vary batch to batch, so always make sure you update your quantity to get your desired IBU level. I.e. if your Cascade is .5% lower than the AA% in the recipe, add more to get to the right level or put it in earlier during the boil.
Bittering. Sometimes these are the only hops you need to add. You can put them in at the beginning of the boil and let the rest run its course.
Other recipes can have multiple additions of hops and they're all still considered bittering. For example, you can add some at 60 mins, some 45 and others at 30. It can be 3 additions of the same hop or 3 different hops or 2 of 1 and one of another. It's pretty much all based on the style and your recipe.
Aroma. These hops are added within the last 15 mins or so. You can even add with 5, 1 or even no minutes left in the boil. For 0 minutes, you'd add and then leave them in till the wort cools. You can also dry hop, which is adding some hops to your secondary fermentor, but we'll get to that tomorrow. But for now, that covers the basics of what hops how they work in the brew process. Check back tomorrow when we go over specifics and different hopping techniques.

Not bad for a prisonSubmitted by: Matt in 02/10/07

- From: United Kingdom
- Traveller type: Weekend Breaker
The rooms are clean and have very friendly staff but do like to interupt you when your sleeping about 10 to change your bin. Bed sheets are not changed and the room gets stuffy. There is a small window above the door so its not all bad. There are some fetching see through shower curtains but overall for the price you can't complain.
Budget DealSubmitted by: Ryan in 26/03/06
- Age Group: 18 - 25
- From: Poland
- Traveller type: Adventurer
I spent few nights over there - what can I say - don't expect comfort in Stockholm for less than 800SEK - so if you look on the price and location that's a good deal.Dark room,yes..but you don't go to Stockholm to stay in the budget hotel all the time! Close to the city center and all attractions, good for a weekend trip.
Depressing and disgusting!Submitted by: Lasse in 01/02/06
- Age Group: 18 - 25
- From: Germany
- Traveller type: Young Couple
Stayed at Vanadis Hotel and Bad for 1 night in a budget room (no window!) due to lack of space at the youth hostels. The room was extremely depressing as it resembled a prison cell. No window, unpleasant neon lights, and we even found some pubic hair on the bed when we arrived. Disgusting. Granted, it was cheap, but it is still way too expensive for what they offer. Every youth hostel is a lot more pleasant than this place. Not recommended!
Budget accommodation with small but quiet roomsSubmitted by: Stefan Friz in 01/06/05

Vanadis Hotel and Bad is to advise to anyone who want's to spend a few days in Stockholm and need an accommodation on reliable conditions. The swimming pool in the Bad is a great refreshment in the morning !!!

Top Local Tips for Stockholm
Think of it like the best place in London If people advise you about bars such as Spybar in Stockholm, good luck trying to get in. The bouncers will be very fussy about who they let in. Famous people, exceptionally good looking people and those with loads of money will have no problem. A group of lads, half cut and looking tired .... not so lucky! There are some smaller bars about so look around, and try not to get annoyed about the lack of any queuing systems in use, they just don't que out there! Its a mad free for all!

I guess i am just having a rough morning. I feel like my symptoms are starting to fade away but then again, I am 11 weeks so I do know its not uncommon for that to happen. I still have to pee every 5 mins and my appitite is there. I still get kinda sick in the morning but I am hungry ALL THE TIME. I am kinda achy I just...GGRRR. I wish my U/S was sooner so I could see a happy healthy baby.
I guess I could just use a kind word!
I pretty much dropped all my symptoms at 10 weeks, and I freaked out about it. Had my ultrasound a week later, and everything looks perfect. My OB said it's 100% normal for symptoms to decrease as you move into your second trimester, as the placenta kicks in.
Enjoy not feeling like crud everyday for now. Take it day by day. Who knows, your symptoms might come back tomorrow full force. For me, my nausea has made a comeback, but only after meals (and I do a lovely gag or two and I'm fine).
It's weird how for a PgAL lady, symptoms are like a security blanket. We hold on to feeling like heck, because it makes us feel pregnant, right? People don't realize how special those symptoms are for someone who has lost a LO.
First M/C - March 2006, pregnancy not known about.
BFP#1 03/17/12 DD 11/09/12 Missed MC 05/14/12 (No growth past 9wk1d) D&C 05/22/12
Removal of Ovarian Cyst 07/27/12
PgAL MARCH SIGGY CHALLENGE: PET SHAMING
Thanks everyone. It is so true. On my first pregnancy, I never thought about it, I just knew that I was pregnant. But after you lose one, I almost want to be sick all the time and "feel" pregnant. My m/s was back this morning. And now I have developed a (TMI) random gag all day. It hits at random moments (and I work with the public so it can kinda make it hard at work)
Wednesday is almost here and I think once I see the heartbeat I will feel 100% better.
T&P please

Can you write off taxable income?
When it comes to paying Uncle Sam, there are very strict rules about what can and cannot be written off on income tax returns. However, there are several costs that many individuals and business owners may not realize qualify for deductions during filing season. As a result, they may end up paying more than they should in taxes each year.
The Internal Revenue Service allows individuals to deduct expenses that were paid for the purposes of "producing or collecting taxable income, managing, conserving or maintaining property held for producing such income and determining, contesting, paying or claiming a refund of any tax." In addition, the amount of the expenses must exceed 2 percent of the filer's adjusted gross income in order to qualify.
There are several types of expenses and fees that may fall under this umbrella.
For example, investment and trustee fees are a common write-off if they meet specific rules. Expenses for professional investment advice and accounting or legal fees that relate to investments may qualify under this deduction. Clerical assistance and fees paid to an investment management company may also be written off on tax forms, but filers should ensure they keep good records to detail these costs. The IRS can be very particular when it comes to writing off these types of expenses, so ask investment managers to clearly detail what each fee corresponds to, Fox Business suggests.
In addition, individuals may deduct trustee fees, but only if they were billed and paid separately from an individual's own wallet. Those costs paid from within a retirement account do not qualify for the tax benefit, the news source explains.
Fees related to tax planning, guidance or preparation can also be deducted. This means that consumers who purchased software to help them file taxes may deduct it on their income taxes. In addition, those expenses paid to participate in certain tax repayment programs, such as an offer in compromise, installment program or resolving a tax dispute can also be written off.
Before deducting any of these types of fees and expenses, individuals should always consult their
tax preparer
to make sure the write-offs are valid. The IRS has very particular rules about these types of benefits, and having a firm understanding of the rules can help filers avoid potential tax issues.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (January 29, 2013) – Discount Tire, America's largest tire and wheel retailer, today announced the opening of its new store located at 3869 Washington Road in Augusta, Ga.

"Customers will likely be attracted by our low prices and selection of tires and wheels," said Justin Kaplan, store manager of the new Discount Tire in Augusta. "However, we believe that our customer service and satisfaction guarantee make the difference."
Kaplan has been with the company for 11 years. Discount Tire is committed to promoting from within and is always looking for qualified individuals to join them in their exceptional growth. Additional career opportunities can be found by visiting Discount Tire's website or a local Discount Tire store.
Discount Tire offers the largest tire and custom wheel selection of any tire retailer.

The new Augusta Discount Tire store phone number is (706) 220-1311. Discount Tire operates 26 stores in Georgia. Customers can purchase tires and wheels in the store, by mail order or online. At discounttire.com, customers can locate a store, purchase tires, schedule installation appointments, register for e-mail discounts, gain access to safety tips and other helpful information, and even determine tire and wheel size by brand for their vehicle.
At Discount Tire we stand by everything that we do. If you are not satisfied with your purchase at any time, bring it back and we will make it right. That is our promise.
