The lovely Lisa Ann Scott, author of the enchanting debut novel SCHOOL OF CHARM, stopped by recently to answer our "opening the book" questions. In case you missed it, here's a little intro and sneak peek of the book from earlier this year. And now, without further ado . . . Lisa Ann Scott!
Which was your favorite book from childhood, and what are you reading right now?
I am reading fellow Class of 2K14 member Rebecca Behrens' adorable middle-grade novel, When Audrey Met Alice. Can I claim the entire Little House series as my favorite book growing up? [WE SAY "YES!"]
What is your secret talent?
While I tend to kill most indoor plants, I have beautiful outdoor gardens and a koi pond. People tell me I should design gardens for a living. But then I wouldn't have time to write!
Fill in the blank: My two kids always make me laugh.
My current obsessions are . . .
Whatever series I've found on Netflix, HBO GO etc. that I will binge watch. (Game of Thrones and Dexter are recent addictions.)
Any gem of advice for aspiring writers?
Never give up. (See story below.)
Finish this sentence: I hope a person who reads my book . . .
. . . looks for real life magic in their world, and remembers all the wonderful things about themselves that make them unique and special.
How did you come to write this book?
Grab a snack and sit back for this answer. The seeds of this story came from a dream. I woke one morning with the image of a lovely older woman standing in a clearing in the forest. She was surrounded by a small group of girls and it was clear she was teaching them something, but she had a very knowing look on her face, like there was a secret they had yet to learn. Now most people would have shrugged and thought, hey, weird dream. But when you're a writer, something like that tugs at the imagination. So I walked around with this story in my head for a while, trying to figure out who was there and why they were there. I wrote this during my lunch breaks when I was working as a news anchor back in 2007. In 2008, I started the query process, looking for an agent. But then I lost my job, and that grief on top of the inevitable rejection that comes with the query process was just too much to take. So I set the book aside and actually stopped writing for a while. It wasn't long before I was writing again (romance!) and in 2011, took another look at the manuscript. I thought, hey this is pretty good, and a writer friend urged me to send it out again. So I did. To one agent. And then I remembered how much I hated the query process and stopped. But that one lovely agent, Jennifer Unter, loved the book and sold it a few months later.
Thanks for visiting, Lisa!

New Voices: Opening the book with… Alexandra Duncan!
Posted by Preeti | April 21, 2014 | No Comments
Alexandra Duncan's debut novel Salvage has taken the world by storm. As Stephanie Perkins (author of Anna and the French Kiss) says, this book is "kick-ass, brilliant, feminist science fiction." And boy is she right.
Her life is a shadow of a life. Her future is not her own to fashion.
Her family is a tangle of secrets. She cannot read. She cannot write.
But she is Parastrata Ava, the Captain's eldest daughter, the so girl of a long-range crewe—her obligations are grave and many.
And when she makes a mistake, in a fragrant orchard of lemons, the consequences are deadly.
There are some who would say, there but for the Mercies go I.
There are some who would say Parastrata Ava is just a silly earthstruck girl who got what was coming to her.
But they don't know the half of it.
We were lucky to have debut author Alexandra Duncan swing by The Pageturn and talk to us about writing, reading, and how Salvage came about!
Which was your favorite book from childhood, and what are you reading right now?
It's so hard to pick one favorite book. I think I had a new one every week when I was growing up. (Come to think of it, that's probably still true.) One of the ones that really stuck with me and that I still have on my bookshelf at home is The Girl Who Owned a City, by O.T. Nelson. I loved post-apocalyptic survival stories, especially ones where all of the adults were dead or otherwise incapacitated, which is exactly what happens in The Girl Who Owned a City.
Right now I'm reading A Dance With Dragons, by George R.R. Martin, the most recent book in the Song of Ice and Fire series. I have to stay ahead of the HBO show!
What is your secret talent?
I make a mean apple pie, crust and all. I have a 96% success rate. I've only ever caught one pie on fire, and that wasn't entirely my fault.
Fill in the blank: _______ always makes me laugh.
My husband. I might be biased, but I think he's pretty hilarious.
My current obsessions are…
Podcasts. I can listen to them while I'm doing chores or exercising. (Yay, multitasking!) Right now, my favorites are a podcast about pseudoscience and religion called Oh No, Ross and Carrie! and Welcome to Nightvale, which is kind of hard to explain. Just imagine what would happen if H.P. Lovecraft and David Lynch created a town and that town had a public radio station.
Any gem of advice for aspiring writers?
Support each other. Writing looks like a solitary occupation, but I don't know a single author who has succeeded without moral support and advice from friends. Celebrate each other's victories and cheer each other up when you hit one of writing's inevitable stumbling blocks. You'll all go farther and be happier for it in the end.
Finish this sentence: I hope a person who reads my book…
Sees the world in a new way. One of my favorite things about science fiction and fantasy is that they can be used to re-frame today's problems and let people see them from an entirely different angle.
How did you come to write this book?
Salvage started life with a short story I wrote called "Bad Matter," which was published in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction in 2009. It took place among the merchant crewes that appear in Salvage. When I finished the short story, I knew I wanted to explore their culture further and tell more stories set in that world.
Salvage was a very personal book for me. A lot of the inspiration for the crewes' culture came from growing up as the stepdaughter of a minister in a small town church in rural North Carolina. It was a very tight-knit and insular environment where there were very strict expectations about behavior, especially for women and girls. It was very much like growing up inside a large extended family. I also drew inspiration from my travels to Haiti and Nicaragua as a teenager, and my time studying abroad in Spain during college. Those experiences shaped my version of a future Earth.
In some ways, Ava's journey is similar to my own. I consider myself a feminist, but I wouldn't have said so as a teenager. It wasn't until I left home and struck out on my own at 18 that I began to understand my worth as a human being. I hope Salvage helps other girls learn the same thing about themselves. I hope it makes them feel like they aren't alone.
Salvage is in stores now!

We're thrilled to introduce our New Voices picks for Winter 2014! We absolutely loved these four debut novels, and we think you will, too. Be sure to click on the links below to read the first chapter of each title, and if you're hungry for more, comment and we'll send you a galley (while supplies last).
And now, without further ado . . .
SALVAGE, by Alexandra Duncan, is a sweeping, epic, literary science fiction story with a feminist twist. Teenaged Ava has lived aboard the male-dominated, conservative deep space merchant ship Parastrata her whole life. When a passionate mistake causes Ava's people to turn against her, she faces banishment and death. Taking her fate into her own hands, she flees to the Gyre, a floating continent of garbage and scrap in the Pacific Ocean. Her struggle to survive outside the insular world of her childhood is harrowing, full of surprises, and constantly thrilling. You'll be rooting for Ava all the way! Read the first chapter here!
FAKING NORMAL, by Courtney C. Stevens, is a powerful, moving story about a teen girl struggling to forget a traumatic experience from her recent past. Alexi Littrell hasn't told anyone what happened to her over the summer by her backyard pool. Instead, she hides in her closet, counts the slats in the air vent, and compulsively scratches the back of her neck, trying to make the outside hurt more than the inside does. When Bodee Lennox—"the Kool-Aid Kid"—moves in with the Littrells after a family tragedy, Alexi discovers an unlikely friend in this quiet, awkward boy who has secrets of his own. As their friendship grows, Alexi gives him the strength to deal with his past, and Bodee helps her summon the courage to find her voice and speak up. Read the first chapter here!
CRUEL BEAUTY, by Rosamund Hodge, is a dazzling twist on the story of Beauty and the Beast. Betrothed to the evil ruler of her kingdom, Nyx has always known her fate was to marry him, kill him, and free her people from his tyranny. But on her seventeenth birthday, when she moves into his castle high on the kingdom's mountaintop, nothing is as she expected—particularly her charming and beguiling new husband. Nyx knows she must save her homeland at all costs, yet she can't resist the pull of her sworn enemy—who's gotten in her way by stealing her heart. Read the first chapter here!
SCHOOL OF CHARM, by Lisa Ann Scott, is an enchanting story full of spirit and hope, with a hint of magic. Eleven-year-old Chip has always been her daddy's girl, so when he dies she pins her hopes on winning a beauty pageant to show her family of southern belles that she still belongs. The problem is, she'd rather be covered in mud than makeup! Can a rough-and-tumble girl ever become a beauty queen? SCHOOL OF CHARM tells the tale of one girl's struggle with a universal question: How do you stay true to yourself and find a way to belong at the same time? Read the first chapter here!
Stay tuned for "Opening the Book" Q&A's with the authors and insightful words from the editors of these fantastic New Voices!

New Voices, a Word from the Editor: Not a Drop to Drink
Posted by Preeti | September 26, 2013 | No Comments
Yesterday we heard from Mindy McGinnis about her fantastic debut novel, Not a Drop to Drink. Today, we hear from her editor, Sarah Shumway. Sarah, take it away!
There's nothing like falling into the spell of a new voice, a striking view of reality, and into the life of a character you know you'll never forget. Falling in love with a book is sometimes a thing that happens gradually over the course of a story, but sometimes the first words on a page signal that the feelings are going to come tumbling out of a book and straight into your heart. The very first words of Not a Drop to Drink have that spark for me: "Lynn was nine the first time she killed to defend the pond…"
The books I've always loved most are those that show me something that I've never even imagined and make it real, make me feel. And I love wild books – ones where characters, especially strong girls, have to work to squeeze a good life from a harsh world. I started young with those books, as in Laura Ingalls in the Little House books and Karana in Island of the Blue Dolphins. I love books that challenge me, along with the characters, to rise above difficulty, limitations, and to become more than we knew we could be. And Lynn, the heroine of Not a Drop, is such a strong character. Not a doubt there. She's strong in a way that is more than physical or emotional. She's real. She's a product of her circumstances, stubborn and rough, but she discovers her heart. And her story pushes every one of my "appeal" buttons: that strong and distinctive heroine, a gripping survival story, beautiful, sometimes poetic writing, a vivid setting in a fully-realized world, and plot twists like WOAH. Oh, and it has some good kissing.
One of the most interesting discussions I've had with Mindy and with my colleagues here at HarperCollins is about how to categorize this book – is it dystopian? Post-apocalyptic? But I'm kind of proud to say that it really defies genre. While Not a Drop has plenty to offer fans of hugely popular dystopian fiction, what I appreciate is that it's more than that. It's different and special because it's not about challenging a world gone wrong, but it's about challenging people to be stronger in their own lives and hearts. And when the trends have come and gone, I think Mindy's book – Lynn's story – will persist in grabbing readers' hearts and imagination, the same way that the frontier or desert island books many of us loved as children and teenagers are still perennial favorites.
I'm so proud to have helped bring Mindy McGinnis and Not a Drop to Drink to an audience. Almost two years after I first read a draft, this book still makes my heart pound, my spine tingle, and my fingers itch to turn pages, and I hope all readers will feel the same when they get their hands on it.
Sarah Shumway is an editor at HarperCollins Children's Books.

New Voices: Opening the Book with… Mindy McGinnis!
Posted by Preeti | September 25, 2013 | 1 Comment
Imagine a world where water is the hottest commodity. Author Mindy McGinnis has done it in a thrilling, terrifying way in her debut novel, Not a Drop to Drink.
Regret was for people with nothing to defend, people who had no water.
Lynn knows every threat to her pond: drought, a snowless winter, coyotes, and, most importantly, people looking for a drink. She makes sure anyone who comes near the pond leaves thirsty, or doesn't leave at all.
Confident in her own abilities, Lynn has no use for the world beyond the nearby fields and forest. Having a life means dedicating it to survival, and the constant work of gathering wood and water. Having a pond requires the fortitude to protect it, something Mother taught her well during their quiet hours on the rooftop, rifles in hand.
But wisps of smoke on the horizon mean one thing: strangers. The mysterious footprints by the pond, nighttime threats, and gunshots make it all too clear Lynn has exactly what they want, and they won't stop until they get it….
Of course, after reading this fantastic dystopian novel, we jumped at the chance of having Mindy come by and open the book with us!
Which was your favorite book from childhood, and what are you reading right now?
Choosing is so hard! I'll say A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle. Right now I'm reading Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea by April Tucholke.
What is your secret talent?
Um… I can flip a stack of quarters off my elbow and catch them in my palm. Also I have very fat thumb pads.
Fill in the blank: _______ always make me laugh.
British men.
My current obsessions are…
SHERLOCK, local history and the roots of criminal profiling.
Any gem of advice for aspiring writers?
Do your homework. Half the battle is learning the industry.
Finish this sentence: I hope a person who reads my book…
Didn't steal it from the library.
How did you come to write this book?
I watched a documentary called Blue Gold, which is about a projected shortage of potable water on our planet due to overpopulation. It was a horrible thought – we all need water to survive, and it's something we can't make. I went to bed very grateful for the small pond in my backyard, and that night I dreamt I was teaching a young girl how to operate a rifle so that she could help me protect the pond. I woke up and thought, "Hey… I wrote a book in my head just now."
I asked myself what this child would grow into, and my main character, Lynn, was the answer. I don't plot at all, I simply write. With Drink I was very fortunate in that the book really wrote itself. It wanted to be told. Lynn's transformation from isolationist to human being had to be slow and believable, but not at the expense of pacing. I knew I needed supporting characters that could make this an interesting read without lots of explosions and fight scenes. Stebbs walked in and saved me there!
Thanks, Mindy! You can find Not a Drop to Drink in stores now!

One of our absolute favorite new reads this season has to be Caroline Carlson's THE VERY NEARLY HONORABLE LEAGUE OF PIRATES: MAGIC MARKS THE SPOT. It has girl power, adventure, and of course, a missing treasure.
There are three qualities a treasure map must possess: It must be suitably ancient, have an atmospheric title, and include a dotted line leading to an X.
When Hilary Westfield escapes from finishing school to pursue her dream of being a pirate, she finds herself in possession of such a map. But the map is missing an X, and everyone is almost certain that the magical treasure she's hunting doesn't even exist. Hilary soon becomes caught up in a madcap quest involving a rogue governess who insists on propriety, a talking gargoyle, a crew of misfit scallywags, and the most treacherous villain on the high seas.
If that doesn't hook you, I don't know what will.
We had to get to know the person behind such a piratical tale. So, today, Caroline stopped by to answer some of our hard-hitting questions!
Which was your favorite book from childhood, and what are you reading right now?
I have so many favorite books that it's hard to choose just one, but one of my all-time favorites is HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE by Diana Wynne Jones. Right now, I'm reading THE STOCKHOLM OCTAVO by Karen Engelmann.
What is your secret talent?
Like Hilary, the heroine of MAGIC MARKS THE SPOT, I can tread water for a really long time.
Fill in the blank: _______ always makes me laugh.
The movie CLUE. I've memorized all the jokes by now, but they never get any less funny.
My current obsessions are…
Cooking and baking—after spending all day writing at my computer, I love doing something concrete and hands-on in the kitchen. While I cook, I like to listen to two of my other obsessions: news podcasts and music by Girlyman and Antje Duvekot.
Any gem of advice for aspiring writers?
Try to learn a lot about all the things that interest you—not just writing. Read newspapers and nonfiction books. Do some exploring, check out your local museums and libraries, or take a class in a subject that fascinates you. If you stay curious about the world around you, you're sure to stumble across lots of good ideas for stories.
Finish this sentence: I hope a person who reads my book…
…laughs out loud at least once!
How did you come to write this book?
MAGIC MARKS THE SPOT actually started its life as a submission for a workshop at Vermont College of Fine Arts, where I was working toward a degree in writing for children. I had to write 20 pages of an entirely new story, the deadline was tight, and I was running short on story ideas. I'd always loved pirates, though, and I'd dreamed of writing a book about a grand pirate treasure hunt. I was also rereading some of my favorite books by Jaclyn Moriarty at the time, and I wanted to experiment with Moriarty's technique of telling a story through letters, postcards, newspaper clippings and other documents. When I tossed both of these ideas together, I ended up with 20 pages about a girl who receives a letter informing her that since only boys are allowed to be pirates, her application to the pirate league has been rejected.
I wasn't expecting much to come of my experiment, but I ended up loving the results, and when my workshop-mates told me that they wanted to know what happened next to my pirate heroine and her gargoyle sidekick, I knew I'd hit on a story idea with potential. Those pages that I wrote for my workshop 3 years ago are still more or less the first 20 pages of MAGIC MARKS THE SPOT. And the story took on a life of its own from there—I wrote the first draft in 4 months flat, which was a whole lot faster than I'd ever written anything before! Plenty has changed since that first draft; in revisions with my editor, I strengthened the magic system of my fictional world, I turned a minor character into a major one, and I rewrote nearly the entire ending from scratch. But MAGIC MARKS THE SPOT is still the kind of book I loved to read when I was growing up: an adventure full of twists, humor, and magic. I had a wonderful time writing it, and I hope readers will enjoy it, too.
Thanks, Caroline! You can find THE VERY NEARLY HONORABLE LEAGUE OF PIRATES: MAGIC MARKS THE SPOT in stores tomorrow!

If you checked in with us yesterday, you read the behind the scenes editorial perspective of Michael Hassan's debut teen novel, CRASH AND BURN. Today Michael responds to our notoriously strenuous, sweat-inducing Opening the Book questions…
Which was your favorite book from childhood, and what are you reading right now?
I was always into books and a real sucker for the Dr. Suess stuff, can probably still recite Green Eggs and Ham by heart, but the first book that made me want to be a writer was Les Miserables, which I would probably have named as my favorite book, except for the Princess Bride by William Goldman, who is primarily known as a screenwriter, but has written some incredible novels.
I am currently re-reading several William Goldman novels, including Marathon Man and the Color of Light. You can learn a lot as a writer from reading his books. .
More importantly, I am back to reading hardcovers and paperbacks after spending too long with e-books. While I'm a techno nut, the truth is there is nothing better than holding a real book, being able to thumb back and forth through the pages and knowing exactly where you are at any given point.
What is your secret talent?
I play keyboards. I am, in fact, really bad musician and have been fired from some pretty talentless bands when I was younger. Thankfully I record nothing so no one has to know. Until now.
Fill in the blank: _______ always makes me laugh.
Mean Girls. I could watch this movie constantly and still laugh at every line.
Also, fart noises and Gilbert Gottfried, not necessarily in that order.
My current obsessions are…
Headphones, I have like 20 pairs. I need loud music when I'm working.
Also, Uncharted 3D, in fact almost every videogame, movie and documentary in 3D.
Any gem of advice for aspiring writers?
Know where you are going before you start. Make an outline and stick to it and then keep on going without looking back until you hit THE END. And then, take whatever you've done and put it on the highest shelf in your room for 6 weeks without looking at it.
And then make a new outline and start over with the brightest red pen you can find.
And don't, under any circumstances, get stuck playing Uncharted 3D or watching anything else in 3D. In fact, disconnect your television and your internet and throw away your iPads, playstations and smartphones.
Finish this sentence: I hope a person who reads my book…
Forgets that they are reading;
misses a train stop because they need to finish a chapter;
recognizes the characters so much that they find it difficult to believe that its fiction;
Buys another book the second they finish this one;
Or is inspired to write one themselves.
Tell us more about how CRASH AND BURN was born.
I was challenged by my son, who has ADD to write something that he would be willing to read. Spending time with him and his friends, playing videogames and watching movies, I wanted to come up with a form of entertainment that they would consider to be as fast paced and captivating, something that would make them think differently, more deeply about themselves and their world. Using him and his friends as models, I went back in time and thoroughly researched the everyday occurrences in the world they lived in, the language they used, the legal and illegal drugs they were experimenting with and the social interactions between them and the adults in their world. When I realized how difficult the struggle was for most kids, I knew that I had something that I wanted to write about.
Thanks Michael! CRASH AND BURN (which has received 2 starred reviews– from Booklist and BCCB!) is on sale in stores now.

Next in our Winter 2013 New Voices series is teen debut novel CRASH AND BURN, by Michael Hassan, a book that quite literally stopped us all in our tracks the first time we heard Michael's editor, Jordan Brown, formally present it. Today I'll let Jordan's powerful words speak for themselves…
Of all the qualities of a manuscript that get me interested in working with an author, one of the most exciting is when I feel like I'm reading the work of someone who looks for untold stories in places where we don't expect to find them. Of course, the most prominent plot elements of Michael Hassan's debut novel Crash and Burn—the story of a profoundly troubled senior who takes his school hostage at gunpoint, and the profoundly untroubled student who stops him—are, sadly, not unusual or unobvious ones. But what is unique and unexpected about Mike's story is the perspective from which he chooses to tell it.
Steven "Crash" Crashinsky is unlike any of the teen male characters one finds in contemporary teen literature. He is not the brooding, complicated, brilliant outcast; he's not the bad boy with a heart of gold; he's not the irredeemable jerk; he's not the heartthrob who can distill his interior struggles in a moment but is still paralyzed by indecision. He is all of these things, and none of them. He is the kind of male character who is remarkable only for being so typical: a teen whose self-image has been defined by his learning disabilities, whose behavior has been shaped by society's indulgent "boys will be boys" attitude, who has realized that life's a lot easier when you just don't care. He's the kind of teen we all know, and yet the kind we don't often find populating teen books—perhaps because he's the kind we don't often find reading teen books.
But he is not unreachable, as Mike's knockout of a first novel shows us. This is a book—one of the first I've seen—that speaks directly to these young men, telling a story they need to hear. The element of the book that was paramount to both Mike and me in the editing process was keeping Crash's voice and experiences as authentic as possible. And thus we have a story that doesn't pull any punches, that reads more like a chronicle than a novel, that speaks to these readers in a language they can understand.
Crash and Burn is not a book for everyone. The truths it draws out and elucidates don't provide many answers for the desperate struggles today's teens experience. But I'm a big believer in the idea that the process always starts with asking the right questions. And Mike asks these big questions while writing a story that is hilarious and frightening and touching in turn; one about friendship and tragedy, first love and first hate; one that shows us that the untold stories can sometimes be the most important.
Thanks Jordan! And don't forget to visit us again tomorrow for an interview with the author, Michael Hassan.

Yesterday we took you behind the editorial curtain of debut teen novel PIVOT POINT. Today I bring you the inside scoop on the adorable, hilarious Kasie West herself…
What is your secret talent?
Secret talent? If I tell, it won't be a secret anymore. But since I've never passed up on an opportunity to brag (that might not be a true statement), I will tell you that I am super good at proving I'm not a robot. I rock word verification on blogs and websites. Seriously, I have like a 99% success rate at figuring out those impossible to read words. Is this a talent?? I think yes.
Fill in the blank: always makes me laugh.
My husband (He is so funny. The main reason I married him, by the way).
My current obsessions are…
twitter, garden salsa Sun Chips, naps (I'm only obsessed with naps right now because I haven't been able to take them and I need a nap so bad).
Any gem of advice for aspiring writers?
Read read read and keep writing. Make sure you are constantly feeding your mind with new books and plots by reading whenever you can. And when you are done writing a book and it's ready to query, start immediately on your next one. Don't spend a lot of time editing a book over and over (note: I'm not telling you not to edit. Definitely edit.). But keep moving forward.
Finish this sentence: I hope a person who reads my book…
Laughs, loves, and appreciates the friendships in their lives.
Tell us more about how Pivot Point was born.
Like with other books I'd written before Pivot Point (books that were not published) I find inspiration in life: things I see, movies I watch, experiences I have. My husband and I often discuss plots or ideas that would make a good book. Pivot Point was inspired by the movie Sliding Doors. I love that movie. I love the idea of one pivotal choice that can change everything; The idea of exploring alternate realities and seeing how small decisions can change outcomes. We may not have mental abilities like the people in this book, but I truly feel like choice is power. We have the power to choose to work hard and follow our dreams or to give up. We are in charge of our fate, our destiny, and that is power.
Thanks Kasie! PIVOT POINT is on sale in bookstores now– and once you read it, you'll be happy to know this happy news: there will be a book 2, out next year!

A Proper Boston Brownstone with Sparkle
With a few carefully chosen pops of color, Nina Farmer's Beacon Hill brownstone sparkles. The designer's home blends historic architectural details with furnishings from the family's travels.
By Douglas Brenner
Living Room
In the living room of Nina Farmer's Beacon Hill apartment, originally the parlor of a c. 1850 house, her subtle palette blends proper Bostonian restoration, cosmopolitan taste, and relaxed modernity. A custom mirrored cabinet atop the mantel hides a TV. Art Deco armchairs face John Derian poufs, a Plexi-Craft table, and an indigo leather ottoman color-keyed to the antique fireplace tiles.

Indian industrial production rose less than estimated in April, adding to the case for an interest-rate cut to bolster a weakening economy.
Production at factories, utilities and mines increased 0.1 percent from a year earlier, after a revised 3.2 percent drop in March, the Central Statistical Office said in a statement in New Delhi today. The median of 37 estimates in a Bloomberg News survey was for a 1.7 percent climb.
The Reserve Bank of India announces its rate decision on June 18, with pressure building on Governor Duvvuri Subbarao to lower borrowing costs for the second time in 2012 even as inflation exceeds 7 percent. Asia's third-largest economy grew at the slowest pace in almost a decade last quarter, hurt by a stumbling global recovery and political gridlock that has deterred investment.
"It's a very anemic number and there are not too many reasons to be optimistic about a quick rebound any time soon," said Anubhuti Sahay, a Mumbai-based economist at Standard Chartered Plc. The central bank is facing a "difficult situation" and will probably reduce its repurchase rate to 7.75 percent from 8 percent next week.
The rupee has slumped about 20 percent against the dollar in the past year, in part because Europe's debt crisis has sapped demand for emerging-market assets. The currency fell 0.5 percent to 56.0238 per dollar as of 12:03 p.m. local time, while the BSE India Sensitive Index rose 0.1 percent. The yield on the 8.79 percent bond due November 2021 declined three basis points, or 0.03 percentage point, to 8.30 percent.
S&P Warning
India may become the first nation in the so-called BRIC group of biggest emerging markets to lose its investment-grade credit rating, Standard & Poor's said yesterday, citing slowing economic expansion and roadblocks to economic policy making. Brazil, Russia and China are the other BRIC countries.
Indian gross domestic product rose 5.3 percent last quarter from a year earlier, the weakest pace since 2003. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's government also faces a trade deficit that reached a record $184.9 billion in the year ended March, the widest BRIC budget shortfall and the group's fastest inflation.
Singh's efforts to liberalize the economy have met with opposition from within the ruling coalition. The Cabinet last week deferred making a decision on whether to allow foreign direct investment in the pension fund industry. India has also foregone potential investment from overseas insurers and retailers such as Wal-Mart Stores Inc. in recent months.
Interest-Rate Decision
Mining fell 3.1 percent in April from a year earlier after a 1.3 percent drop in March, today's data showed. Manufacturing grew 0.1 percent, compared with a decline of 4 percent in the previous month. Electricity output rose 4.6 percent.
Subbarao will reduce the repurchase rate to 7.75 percent next week, according to 11 of 15 economists in a Bloomberg News survey. Two expect a half-point cut to 7.5 percent and the rest no change. Inflation climbed to a five-month high of 7.5 percent in May, the median estimate in another Bloomberg survey shows.
Some companies have felt the impact of slower growth and inflationary pressures. Car sales fell in May at Maruti Suzuki India Ltd., and the Indian units of Ford Motor Co. and General Motors Co., after an increase in gasoline prices.
The Reserve Bank lowered its benchmark rate to 8 percent from 8.5 percent on April 17, the first cut since 2009, after raising it by a record 3.75 percentage points from mid-March 2010 to October last year to try and contain inflation.
On June 6, Singh vowed to revitalize growth as he outlined projects including new ports, roads and power plants and urged officials to bridge differences impeding progress.
"It's good that the government has announced some measures but they may not be sufficient," said N. R. Bhanumurthy, a New Delhi-based economist at the National Institute for Public Finance and Policy. "What are needed are big economic reforms. Interest rates alone won't help."

SEATTLE TIMESWith mechanical delays, compensation optional
If you've ever been stuck at an airport because of a plane's mechanical problem, you should know there's no Department of Transportation rule concerning compensation in such cases. There used to be a DOT rule called Rule 240 that required airlines to put you on another airline's flight if that airline would get you to your destination sooner than your original airline. Even so, airlines often will provide some compensation, usually in the form of a travel voucher or frequent flier miles.

LOS ANGELES TIMESDirections from phone should get better
Directions offered via smartphone through a mapping service such as Google Maps or Mapquest and aided by the GPS have always been a little iffy. But recent advances hold the promise of change. Google has unveiled what it's calling a "next generation" update to its maps program that will allow it to map off-road locations. And Apple has announced it's developing a new mapping application that will be available with its latest phone operating system. Of course, you can always consult a "real" map.

The central theme of this book is that introversion is a double-edged sword. One edge brings you into the interior where there is a rich world of activity, stimulation, and imagination. The other edge of this sword is the tendency to get caught up in the mind's storytelling, some of which can become obsessive, ruminative, and negative.
Mindfulness is the natural solution for helping introverts to navigate the interior of their experience without getting stuck. Meditation helps to develop the capacity to monitor attention and extricate it from the default mode network activity of the brain and return it to the sensorimotor experience of the present moment.

Paradoxically, doesn't the "search" for authenticity consist precisely in ceasing to search and just being yourself? Maybe the authentic you that you envision is the most pernicious false self imaginable.
As Pater Tom (Merton) averred: "It is often more perfect to do what is simply normal and human than to try to act like an angel when God does not will it. That is, when there is no need for it, except in the stubborn passion of our own impatience with ourselves."

How do you handle salary questions?
|Thu, 03-27-2003 - 11:48am
Nobody is supposed to discuss money until an offer is made, right? Well, at all of the interviews I've had recently, I'm asked in the first interview what type of money I expect. And I think that I blew it at this one place! :( I quote industry standard, said that I'd like to be within the standard pay and also said that I am flexible particularly with other forms of compensation such as vacation, hours, or a short commute. And I still haven't heard back for a 2nd interview! This is the first itme that I haven't been asked back immediately for a 2nd interview--but the interviews always seem to go cold after the salary question. Why do people keep asking and how do I answer? I'm afraid of low-balling my self and looking underqualified or of high-balling and looking greedy. And even though I hate my current job, it's not worth it to make a lateral move and have to wait for benefits, etc to start up again. . . . plus right now I have a great commute (the only benefit of my current job).
This is so frustrating! I'm a professional interview candidate it feels like and I maybe the cause for that! :(
|Thu, 03-27-2003 - 12:22pm
I say get the salary issue out in the open as soon as possible. I recently went through a scenario where the job seemed great but the guy in charge seemed very vaque about the salary, benefits, etc. He actually told me he wasn't sure what the package would be but asked me if I could be flexible within a $1,000 of my current salary. I found out why he was vague. The package was lousy! They made me an offer $5,000 less than my current salary, no vacation for a year, no 401(k) for a year. Really lousy. I said no. Then he wanted to negotiate. After I said no twice, he called me again. Wanted me to come in and "talk about it". So, I did. The new offer was just $1,000 more but included a week's vacation. Then one week next year. I was not happy. I wasted a lot of time on this because I wasn't extremely firm about my salary requirements. And, to be honest, I was shocked that they would actually make me an offer that was so much less than my current salary and with basically no benefits. So, before you waste your time, make sure you know the salary range is and make sure you can live with it.

Also known as Laputa: Castle in the SkyInspired by one chapter of Gullivers Travels, Castle in the Sky is a 1986 fantasy action-adventure tale raised to Studio Ghibli standards. Two orphans battle sky pirates and evil government forces trying to seize the legendary floating city of Laputa. This was Hayao Miyazaki's third film, and the first to be created at Studio Ghibli, which was formed to produce the film.'"Castle In The Sky'' could be considered a fairy tale... one with Steam Punk, flying castles, secret princesses, and magic. The film opens with a family of Sky Pirates led by the matriarch Dola attacking an airship intent on stealing a blue crystal amulet from a girl named Sheeta. Sheeta, who had already been kidnapped by the evil State Sec Colonel Muska, uses the opportunity to escape and falls to what appears to be certain death until her pendant ignites and starts gently floating her back to Earth. Her descent is spotted by a young miner named Pazu, who catches her and takes her home, eager to determine if this mysterious floating girl is somehow connected with the fabled floating castle Laputa, which his father once saw, though no one believed him or his photograph.Dodging another attempt by Dola's gang to capture Sheeta's crystal, the kids manage to escape... right into the hands of the military. Taking the children prisoner in a castle, Muska convinces Sheeta to cooperate in his search for Laputa by threatening harm to Pazu. Sent back to his village, Pazu is immediately captured by Dola's gang who immediately set off on yet another attempt to seize the crystal. Reluctantly making common cause with Dola in order to rescue Sheeta, Pazu joins the pirates. Meanwhile a despondent Sheeta recites a "magic spell" her grandmother taught her to recite in times of trouble. The spell activates her pendant, triggering a beam which points the way to Laputa and a dormant Laputian robot hidden in the dungeons below. Responding to Sheeta's request for aid the robot causes such destruction that Pazu and Dola manage to rescue Sheeta in the confusion but Muska ends up with the pendant. Muska and the local Army commander promptly set out for Laputa aboard the Goliath, an enormous aerial battlecruiser.Seriously outgunned and outnumbered but armed with Sheeta's description of the location of Laputa, the kids and the pirates nevertheless try to head off the government agents aboard Dola's own airship, the Tiger Moth, hoping that fair winds and a little luck will allow them to beat the army to the prize. What will they find in Laputa? Will it be filled with treasure or danger? What does Muska want with Laputa, and why is he so obsessed with it?As part of their distribution deal, Disney has brought this film to America with a voice cast which includes Anna Paquin, James Van Der Beek, Cloris Leachman, Mandy Patinkin, Mark Hamill, and Andy Dick as well as a new score provided by Joe Hisaishi (who wrote the original soundtrack). This latter decision caused controversy with fans and critics more familiar with the more silent Japanese version, but Joe Hisaishi mentioned in his blog that he and Miyazaki were pleased with the soundtrack.The dub, originally recorded in 1998, was initially scheduled for a 1999 video release, but continually delayed for unexplained reasons (though the re-scoring and a sudden shift from direct-to-video to theatrical release that never happened are the most commonly cited). It was screened at select children's festivals before finally debuting on VHS and DVD in April 2003, alongside Spirited Away and Kikis Delivery Service, gradually garnering new fans. This dub is one of only two Ghibli films (the other being Kiki's Delivery Service) which Disney "Americanized"; future Ghibli releases only featured new voicework instead of the extensive musical reworking that Castle in the Sky and Kiki's Delivery Service underwent. A 2010 re-release of the film replaced the re-scored soundtrack with the original and also removed some of the additional chatter added to the dub (again to fill-in some of the more silent moments). Inexplicably, though, the faithful subtitle track on the 2003 DVD release was mysteriously replaced with a dubtitle. (Even more strangely, the Japanese, Australian, and UK Blu Rays contain the extended score on the English track � sans the extra dialogue and rerecorded sound effects from the 2003 release � but the American BD release does not.)A little known fact: there also exists a rare English dub distributed, but not produced, by Carl Macek's company Streamline Pictures, dubbed by Streamline regulars, apparently as an exclusive for Japan Air Lines as an in-flight movie.

Crochet at Home: 25 Clever Projects for Colorful Living
"25 clever projects for colorful living" in the new book by Brett Bara called Crochet At Home
"25 clever projects for colorful living" in the new book by Brett Bara called Crochet At Home
Lately I've been returning to kids books for crochet inspiration. The simple language and simple designs brings things back to the basics and that's a great starting point for good design.
Today's crochet book review is of a book that I'm just starting to dig into but I'm already loving it and want to recommend it for building your niche crochet skills. The book is Tanis Gray's Interlocking Crochet.
Today's crochet book review is of a fun book published by Leisure Arts in 201o but that's new to me. It's called Unexpected Crochet for the Home and is written by Lena Maikon.
It's Tuesday, which means that it's time for a crochet book review. I decided to combine the review with my 31 Days of Crochet Giveaways since I've got a copy of the book that I'm ready to de-stash.
I really enjoyed the last book by FreshStitches, Cuddly Crochet, and I knew that I would enjoy her new book, Crocheted Softies, as well.
Marty Miller's crochet book is called Totes for All Reasons and its true that if you make all seven designs in the booklet, you'll have a tote for everything you need one for.

Flea treatments?
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 05-15-2014 - 11:14am
I didn't realize that there were so many options for treating a cat for fleas. Can someone explain the difference in treatments and tell me which brand is best?
|Mon, 05-19-2014 - 1:11pm
sorry for the delay getting back to you :)
There are a ton out there. Here is my 2 cents: if your cat has no exposure to the outdoors (ie, going out or you have a dog that goes in and out), don't bother. Beyond that, the rescue where I volunteer uses Revolution. Frontline is OK but it has been noticed that fleas appear to be building up a tolerance to it. If it is a just need to get rid of them thing, a bath using dawn detergent or a pill called Capstar will work. Mine cats are indoor only and I don't treat them.
Hope that helps

I think that any flea treatment you buy form the vet is safe and they all pretty much do the same thing. I agree with Jeanne in that there seems to be a resistance from fleas with Frontline. I don't deflea my cats because they are indoors but I do treat my carpet with a product that kills fleas and eggs and is safe. It lasts a year or so. I have had such good luck with it. It goes by the name Fleabuster or Flea Stopper. I do treat my dogs with flea control since they are outside.

My cat is also indoors only but I do apply flea treatment on her during the warm months because there are a few neighborhood cats that hang out in my yard and I can pick up fleas from them and carry them indoors. I use Revolution mainly because it was what I used on the grandcat when he was indoor/outdoors. The clinic vet recommends it year round for all cats even if they don't go outside. The house call vet (who I use now) recommends treating only as needed which is why I stopped using it over the winter.
A few days ago I was out gardening and a flea jumped on me, I caught it and killed it but that was my sign that its time to treat Coco. She is allergic to flea bites and had been scratching a lot lately so she might have already had a flea on her, because after I applied it she's been scratching a lot less.
The Revolution is by Rx and is pretty expensive (around $100 for 6 vials at the vet clinic here) but Costco pharmacy sells it for about $75; and I think you can buy it online. It also kills some intestinal worms, heartworm and ear mites. If your cat goes outside I would recommend it.

An uncommon man
Bill Bradshaw escaped slavery, lived in Litchfield County
William "Bill" Bradshaw was never a soldier, but every year, he'd put on his old Army overcoat and attend the Grand Army of the Republic reunion in Bristol, according to the book "Campville Chronicles," a collection of oral histories from Harwinton.
Bradshaw might have been the only nonsoldier who attended those old reunions organized by veterans of the Civil War. He was most certainly the only ex-slave to attend. To soldiers, Bradshaw was one of them: He'd joined them after escaping a slave auction where he'd been appraised for $5,000, according to his obituary, and earned a reputation for loyalty and bravery, taking food to soldiers on battlefields at great personal risk.
