Editor's Note
By Wendy Dager
My paternal grandmother never had much, but never really wanted for much, so it worked out fine. Most important to her was her health and the health of those she loved. Still, despite her limited income and Depression-era frugality, every once in a while she would reach surreptitiously down the front of her dress and withdraw a hankie, where, in its safety-pinned confines, was a ten- or twenty-dollar bill. She would hand the money to me with a beatific smile on her face and whisper, "Shhhh, don't tell anyone!"
This same grandma occasionally reminded me that the love of money was the root of all evil.
Grandma was a simple woman and, if she were alive today, wouldn't understand that those with a tendency to over-analyze might think she was sending "mixed messages" about money to her little granddaughter. The term might be construed as throw-about psychobabble, but in the context of career satisfaction, it's a conundrum: is it evil to enjoy making and having and spending money?
Some say we shouldn't love money; we should love what we do. Then again, money can be a nice benefit of doing what we love.
Morally and ethically, we should never put wealth above all else—but there is nothing wrong with wanting to be comfortable in life. And we all have varying levels of comfort.
One person relishes her experiences as a starving writer, but another artistic soul wants to earn a good living from her profession. Neither is wrong. Both are doing what they love. Both are working hard to achieve their goals.
And, as long as they have their health, I'm sure grandma would approve.

We tell you how to recognize and exploit your platform as well as how to establish one before you produce your book (preferred) or even after your book is published.

Book Review
The Fine Print of Self-Publishing: The Contracts and Services of 48 Self-Publishing Companies—Analyzed, Ranked and Exposed
By Mark Levine, former intellectual property law attorney and president of Click Industries, Ltd.
BridgewayBooks, 2006
215 pages, $16.95
If you are thinking about signing with a fee-based publishing service, you MUST read Mark Levine's new book, The Fine Print of Self-Publishing. Levine publicly analyzes 48 fee-based POD (or self-publishing) companies' contracts and services and even ranks them for you. Levine says, "I can promise you that if you follow the advice in this book, you won't get ripped off by any self-publishing company and may, in fact, negotiate a better deal. If you don't follow the advice here, you may find yourself spending thousands of dollars in legal fees to battle an unscrupulous publisher."

Book Marketing Idea of the Month
Promote Your Book Locally First
Most authors write for a national or international audience. When boxes of our newly published books land on our doorstep, we are suddenly overwhelmed by the vastness of our promotional possibilities. We wonder how to start. Should one build a Web site, solicit book reviews, appear on radio shows, send out press releases or set up speaking engagements? And where does one start—large cities, metropolitan areas, in the West or the East or somewhere in the middle?
Why not promote your book locally first? Not only is this a good way to attract readers/sales, but pursuing your promotional activities on a smaller, more familiar scale can help you to discover which ones work best for your particular book.
Read more about some great ideas for local promotion at http://www.spawn.org/marketing/promotelocallyfirst.htm.
Ask the Book Doctor: About writing humor, showing transitions, the use of "had," and using standard manuscript format
By Bobbie Christmas
Q: Do you have any suggestions about how to write humorous personal stories?
A: Humor takes hard work yet often still does not work. When a group of writers discussed this matter, one person suggested recording the stories as you speak them, then typing them up as spoken. That method avoids a stilted writing style that intrudes on the story. We all agreed that someone else must read the stories to ensure the humor is intact and that it works. Study the masters at telling humorous personal stories, such as Dave Barry, David Sedaris, and Erma Bombeck.

From their press release: "Imagine a patient sitting for hours during chemo therapy or dialysis treatment; imagine a victim of domestic violence suddenly at a loss without belongings at a shelter. Anxious or bored, they wait the long hours unless—suddenly they are given a book. Their experience of the book is something valuable in their hands at just the right time. It could be your book that grateful person is reading, and what triggers the donation is the Reader's Passport."

This synthetic-hair brush is soft to the touch and has a good balance of density and flexibility for applying brow powder or eyeshadow. The slanted curvature of the small brush allows for precision and control, perfect for filling in brows.
The Anastasia Beverly Hills product line was developed by "definitive eyebrow expert" Anastasia Soare, a woman who owns a chic Beverly Hills salon. Her namesake product line is built around specialty brow products and shaping tools based on her criteria. Although she has expanded the line to include skin-care and other makeup items, the brow products remain the heart of the line; the skin care seems to be little more than an afterthought.
What sets the Anastasia line apart is the wide selection of brow-grooming products and their impressive shade range for natural-looking brows. Overall, the line is a mixture of both good and bad products, at a relatively high price point. We were expecting to find great brow pencils from a line devoted to perfecting the eyebrow, but Anastasia failed miserably with their extremely hard-textured Perfect Brow Pencil.
Their skin-care products also rank low in terms of efficacy and high in terms of misleading claims, and the mascara misses the mark completely. There are a few so-so makeup products you can ignore, and some of the brow kits have a frustrating mix of good products and awful products.
On the flip side, what's great about Anastasia Beverly Hills are their fabulous brow powders, good brushes, brow-taming products, and some helpful products such as Brow Fix, Brow Pen, and Tinted Brow Gel. They also have a beautiful Blush Quad and a couple of good highlighter pencils. Many of the products cater to those who are new to brow shaping (including a brow stencil set), and, depending on your local department store, you may even be able to schedule an appointment with an Anastasia brow specialist who can show you the way, following the namesake company founder's famous Golden Ratio. For more information about Anastasia Beverly Hills, call (800) 310-3773 or visit www.anastasia.net.
For us older girls with over-plucked/thin/skinny brows, this brush is the perfect size - not too wide or soft. Best I've found to use with gel color. Spoolie on other end is good quality & useable too.

I always have to have a couple books going in case i get bored with one for a little bit. :D
I've read A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin. I haven't got around to the others in that series yet. Right now I am reading The End by Lemony Snicket. I just finished The Amulet of Samarkand by Jonathan Stroud.
"Ghengis Khan and the Mongol Empire" for my history class.

And now in the middle of Kingdom Keepers by Ridley Pearson
I would highly recommend the peter books! They were so wonderful and enchanting!
Othello by shakespeare
I've just started reading the The Looking Glass Wars.
The author is Frank Beddor. Here is the write up from Amazon:
Alyss Heart, heir to the Wonderland throne, is forced to flee when her vicious aunt Redd murders her parents, the King and Queen of Hearts. She escapes through the Pool of Tears to Victorian London, but she finds she has no way home. Adopted by the Liddells, who christen her Alice Liddell and disapprove of her wild stories about Wonderland, Alyss begs Charles Dodgson to tell her real story. Even though he writes Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, she knows no one believes her. Years go by, with Alice repressing her memories. Then royal bodyguard Hatter Madigan, determined to start a war for Wonderland's throne, crashes her wedding. Beddor offers some intriguing reimaginings of Dodgson's concepts (such as looking-glass travel) and characters (the cat is an assassin with nine lives), but his transformation of Wonderland's lunacy into a workable world sometimes leads to stilted exposition on history, geography, and government. Even so, his attention has, happily, put Wonderland back on the map again

Hey Everybody
Today I got my 500 red wigglers from Uncle Jims worm farm. They appear to be very lively and in good health and it only took about four days for delivery. I followed instructions on how to start a worm bin except that instead of newspapers I used dry leaves. Is that O.K.? Also I have been told that worm castings make excellent fertilizer. But is that enough for my tomatoes and other vegetables or will I need to get other kinds? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hip hip hooray! I got my worms from Uncle Jim's a year or two ago and the farm is still going strong. I feel like a proud worm-herder. Dry leaves should be fine--I use some dried leaves in my worm bin, and some nice, clean corrugated cardboard, ripped up. I like to mix a few different kinds of bedding in. Also, I'm careful about how "clean" the leaves that I use are, since I don't want to get the dreaded centipede (a worm carnivore) in my operation. Whether the wormery compost will be enough for your veggie operation depends on how big a veggie operation you have. Most likely, especially until the worms get eating and multiplying, you will probably need other sources of compost. I keep a big bin composter going outside with shredded newspaper, leaves, manure, and any garden scraps that the chickens don't like. Certainly you will need some other fertilizers, since the NPK values of compost tend not to be very high. I use blood meal for nitrogen, bone meal for phosphorous, and wood ash for potassium. Depending on what you choose to do later, you might expand your worm operation to make more compost, but at least this spring and you'll need another source. |

I'm always on the lookout for a great, classically British recipe. I can't say I have a favourite cookbook, but I love to collect my own recipes in a huge 3" binder. I'll try anything once.
My fave comfort food is meatloaf and homemade macaroni cheese. I also love homemade soup and Indian (curries) and Mexican food.

Buffalo, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - The Buffalo Sabres placed forward Linus Omark on waivers Friday.
The club acquired Omark from the Edmonton Oilers on Dec. 19 for a conditional sixth-round draft pick in 2014.
Omark was leading the AHL's Oklahoma City Barons in goals (14) and assists (15) at the time of the trade, but has totaled just two assists in 13 games with the worst club in the NHL.
In addition, the Sabres assigned forward Phil Varone and defenseman Chad Ruhwedel to Rochester of the American Hockey League.

World Wide WoW: East vs West, which WoW sites are better? {WoW}
Jul 23rd 2007 11:55PM Taiwan's Armory was released around June.
As the imagery thing....that's not about taste nor anything else.
It's all about font.
I'm a web designer who lives in Taiwan, I do know the pain.
Windows XP comes with LOTS of Western fonts with only few fonts for Asians, let's say, three for Japan, two for China/Taiwan....while all other western countries got around 20 fonts installed with your operation system.
Does this matters? Yes, this could affect they way you design a web page, we got only TWO ugly systems fonts to use, if you wana use some fancy fonts, you got two way to do: 1) Embed it in the page, and let the user download them, each Asian fonts costs around 3MB, no body going to wait for the download; 2) Create a image with the designed text, so you can express the text in a better way rather than the ugly system fonts.
The good new is Vista expanded the font into THREE, aye, bloodly 1 more since Windows 95...
The9 changes WoW in China to appease censors {WoW}
Jul 5th 2007 2:43AM For people don't believe this shit and said couldn't find any evidence on the internet, read this:
And that's the reason u couldn't get too much thing bout China on the internet.
Chins IS a communist country, they set the policy, put a slogan on, and trying to control people in the way they want as usual.
The 'Harmony Society' is just another new policy, which affects lots entertainment products, the fact is The9 has to follow the policy to pass the censorship check, which delayed the release date of Burning Crusade about 5 months.
World Wide WoW: The "Blood Bar" {WoW}
Jun 5th 2007 10:50AM @11 It's all about nanny. =P
The "nanny" before China become a modern country got to take care of other's children and -- in some wealthy family, they got to feed babies with their own milk since those high-ranked mom refuse to do such a low-ranked job, so the word "nanny"'s Chinese translation is very literature, the "milk mom", since those babies got a "real" mom and another mom who feed milk to them, so the nanny is called "milk mom" in the old time.
After few centuries, it got an extended meaning: The one who is in charge to taking care others, which could be extended to the "healer" in most games.
As for the daddy...well, who said that males can't be a nanny? =P

The dough wizards at Papa John's Pizza hand toss circular masterpieces with original and thin crusts made from high-protein flour to support warm bouquets of toppings. Hand-cut produce crowns all of Papa John's pizzas, mingling with the sun-soaked sweetness of sauce made from fresh, California-grown tomatoes. By adhering to its brand promise of "better ingredients, better pizza," Papa John's grew from a back-tavern pizzeria into more than 3,500 restaurants within three decades' time, or the amount of time it takes to grow a single pizzeria from a small seed.
Every week, the chefs at Primavera Pizza Bistro offer a different specialty pizza, tossing pies with imaginative combinations of gourmet toppings and flavorful sauces. But their day-to-day selection of pies is equally as inspired—a colorful array of crispy-crust creations such as the Spinach Supreme, the chicken-parmesan pizza, and the Mediterranean Classic, speckled with artichoke hearts and salami. Beyond pizzas, the skilled chefs whip up a variety of authentic Italian dishes, including creamy alfredo bowtie pasta, crunchy homemade meatball subs, and zesty lemon-pepper salmon.
Serving up Italian/American food favorites?including spaghetti and meatballs, steaks, burgers, to seafood pasta?has been Pete's Tavern's calling since 1966. One of the eatery's more popular items, however, are an Italian twist on sliders. Created in the kitchen by owner Todd Simonds after a busy night, the mini burgers combine the first three things that the hungry Simonds could find: a meatball, a mozzarella-topped garlic knot, and marinara sauce. If meatballs aren't your thing, that's OK?you can swap them for sausages, eggplant, breaded chicken, or pepperoni.
Beyond Tomato Pie of Morristown's French door façade, chefs mix fresh ingredients into a menu of signature pizzas and homemade Italian favorites. For starters, diced chicken and mozzarella cheese sing a duet in lightly fried balls of arborio rice served with marinara, or a chorus of Italian cheeses, meats, peppers, and beans rattle the antipasti platter with trilling operatic arias. To complement the Grandma pie's spread of gooey cheese and tomatoes over a crisp, rectangular crust, the circular tomato pie hosts hearty tomatoes and a selection of toppings ($2 each) such as artichokes, bacon, and sweet peppers. For dessert, rich slices of Nutella pie recall the sweet flavors of Italy's chocolate mountain ranges, and a sextet of zeppoles tops balls of deep-fried dough with spackles of fine powdered sugar.
The Brick Oven of Morristown's dough-spinning doyens handcraft a menu full of crusted creations and authentic Italian eats. Commence chew-infused chats with a bowl of the pasta e fagioli soup ($6.95) before choosing one of the popular brick-oven-baked pizzas, such as the alla mare di mare ($16.95), which combines clams, calamari, and shrimp beneath a canopy of mozzarella and ricotta cheese, or the four-cheese alla jessabella, served on a sauceless crust ($10.95). Diners can also build their own customizable pie (prices vary depending upon ingredients) for a culinary construction more appetizing than a Quaker-made oatmeal cathedral. Or skip sliced fare altogether and tongue-dive into a hearty main course, such as a primo pasta ($11.95+) or the pollo della casa—boneless chicken encrusted with parmesan cheese and sautéed in white-wine sauce ($17.95). To complement meals, guests can bring their own bottle of wine or host a séance to summon the spirit of a vintage chardonnay.

Science: the Middle Ages in 3 1/2 minutes (or 2 pages)
July 14, 2013 by Margreet de Heer
Filed under NBM Blog, New Releases
I love drawing timelines. It's a real challenge to bring down certain periods of time down to their historic essentials in a way that's entertaining as well as educational. In my new book Science: a Discovery in Comics, I included several spreads with illustrated timelines. In a previous blog post I already showed the one […]

Buffalo CashMob has a simple goal: to get as many people as possible to "flash mob" a local small business and spend $10-20 each. There is no discount, no coupon, freebie.
It's the anti-Groupon, really.
Chris Smith came up with the idea and, after launching in Buffalo, the idea spread to other cities and has received attention from the Wall Street Journal, MSNBC and other major media outlets.
Today, the Buffalo CashMob will descend on Thin Ice, a small retail store on Elmwood. Thin Ice sells locally hand-crafted, one of a kind gift items. Everything at the store is hand made in America. The store carries jewelry, pottery and kaleidoscopes, handblown glass vases and bowls, scarves, bags, jewelry boxes and more. They also have hand-turned wooden bowls made from trees felled during the October storm.
Thin Ice is located at 719 Elmwood (at the corner of Breckenridge) and the CashMob is encouraging people to stop in between 5 and 7 pm today.
A lot of people talk about supporting local businesses, but this is an opportunity to actually do something. So stop by Thin Ice today between 5 and 7 and spend some money.

I've spent hours, days, weeks trying to think of a present, any present at all.Mothers are one of the most difficult people on earth to get a gift for! She doesn't really have any hobbies, at least nothing I can use as an inspiration for a present.So I thought maybe I could get her something useful. I noticed she complained a bit about how her blender was starting to make a weird noise (but it kept working). So I set out to a hardware/electric appliances store, with high spirits. Only to have my spirits drained down the

But with increasing frequency people take my art and MAKE PROFIT with it. I can't take this anymore.I am looking for a lawyer in the USAI think a good lawyer could make real money with me as their client. I am from Germany. The entertainment law is a little different here than in the US. I can't sue a person who is living in the United States, at least not without considerable cost. Figure that! But most of the people or websites who sell my art live in the US or have their company headquarters there. My german lawyer would not take those cases.

Help protect Otero Mesa and Organ Mountains Desert Peaks from oil and gas drilling
You acted, and they listened.
Concerned members and residents like you last year urged the BLM's Las Cruces District office to include analysis of gas and oil leasing and an inventory of Lands With Wilderness Characteristics in its draft management plan for Sierra, Doña Ana and Otero counties.
After considering your comments, the Las Cruces BLM agreed to prepare a supplement to the plan and defer oil and gas leasing until it prepares a proper analysis.
Your input is now needed to help the BLM properly protect places like Otero Mesa and areas within the proposed Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument, which likely have the most wilderness characteristics.
Please ask the BLM to protect the land and wildlife in special places like Otero Mesa and the proposed Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks monument: http://bit.ly/1km8c7u
In addition to written comments, the BLM is accepting public input and will explain its supplement at three important meetings in your area:
April 24: Truth or Consequences Civic Center, 400 W. 4th St.
April 29: Alamogordo, Willie Estrada civic Center, 800 E. 1st St.
April 30: Las Cruces Doña Ana County Government Center, 845 N. Motel Blvd.
Please send a comment by clicking this link: http://bit.ly/1km8c7u and attend a meeting near you to show that New Mexicans care about our wild places.
Meetings start at 6 p.m., and Rio Grande Chapter representatives will be there and be happy to answer questions and help with comments.

McCartney: 'The Beatles Turned Down Reunion In '76'
[b]Paul McCartney[/b] has spoken for the first time about how the [b]Beatles[/b] turned down a offer to reform the band in 1976.
Speaking to listings magazine Radio Times to publicise his show at the BBC Electric Proms later this month, McCartney said that the money they were offered to stage a comeback back then was 'phenomenal'.
He said:"There were phenomenal amounts of money being offered. Millions by [b]Sid Bernstein[/b], this New York promoter. But it just went round and round. There might be three of us thinking 'You know, it might not be a bad idea' - but the other one would go, 'Nah, I don't think so' and sort of veto it. Let's put it this way, there was never a time when all four of us wanted to do it. And I'm actually glad of that now because the Beatles' work is a body of work. There's nothing to be ashamed of there.
He concluded: "The potential disappointment of coming on and not being as good as The Beatles had been, that was a risk we shouldn't take."
In the wake of the unprecedent buzz around Led Zeppelin's reunion - Macca was asked in the interview '[b]What If[/b]' the Beatles could have reformed now?
McCartney replied: "Since you're leading me down that flowery path, we could imagine that John would be this fantastic elder statesman, very much in command of his lifestyle. I'd be alongside him singing magnificently.
George would be playing like an angel on his guitar. We'd be gelling, sounding like nothing anyone's ever heard before with all the power of modern amplification."
With a flourish he added: "And, behind us, would be the world's greatest drummer. And it'd be fandabidozi! We could be introduced by the Krankies. Unfortunately, this is just pure imagination. But then what's wrong with that?"
McCartney also revealed that he has artists old and new on his iPod, saying: "My iPod moves from [b]Kaiser Chiefs[/b] to [b]Neil Young[/b] to Guillemots to [b]Bob Dylan[/b] to Radiohead to [b]Bob Marley[/b]. And if you want to get a dancefloor moving, it's I Will Survive. Mix that with [b]Foo Fighters[/b], throw in a bit of Fred Astaire, KC and the Sunshine Band, maybe [b]Fatboy Slim[/b] and we've got it!"

Cheddar Chive Biscuits
4 cups flour
1 Tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons salt
1 cup shortening
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 Tablespoons thinly sliced chives
1 ½ – 2 cups buttermilk
Place flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in the work bowl of a food processor. Pulse the dry ingredients a couple of times to mix them. Add the shortening to the flour mixture but not in one piece. Distribute it rather evenly around the bowl. Pulse a dozen times or so until the shortening and flour form a crumbly mixture. Place the contents of the food processor into a mixing bowl. Toss in the cheese and chives "fluffing" them into the flour mixture with a fork. Add 1 ½ cups buttermilk and gently incorporate. If the dough seems to dry all part to all of the remaining buttermilk. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently kneed a few times to make smooth dough. Roll out to ½ to ¾ inch thickness and cut with a biscuit cutter. Put the biscuits on a silpat or parchment lined baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes. When nicely browned remove from the Cheddar Chive Biscuits from the oven and brush the tops with melted butter. Makes about 12-15 biscuits.

Peter did good. So what if Newfoundland had to wait a few months for Labrador to get funding. In the end, both got what they needed. Newfoundland just had to be a little altruistic and wait for the common good.

Who write this stuff? Federally, Labrador is a safe Liberal seat. Since Confederation, it has voted Liberal consistently except for the Penashue win, and will go Liberal again after this election. Only Todd Russell could have lost that seat in the last election for the Liberals. Provincially, the voters in Cartwright-L"Anse au Claire are still voting for Joey Smallwood, the north coast was Liberal until Garfield Warren crossed the floor to run for the Tories. He didn't last long and it went Liberal again, except for a short run after Wally Andersen quit. Lake Melville usually goes Liberal, and will again in the next election. The only district that might be up for grabs is in LabWest. Sure they complain. Everybody in Canada does. I lived in western Canadaand they hate Ottawa. Quebec hates everybody. The bottom line is that Penahue knows he's in deep trouble and is playing the only card he has.

Labrador has enough resources to survive very successfully on it's own , similar to the Yukon. We have had enough of the gouging by the government of the island portion of the province whom feel that this place is only here for their profit.

James Booth, one of Britain's most famous character actors and best known for his portrayal of cheerful cockneys, has died at the age of 77.
Booth shot to fame as a member of Joan Littlewood's Theatre Workshop when he appeared as Tosher in the 1959 production of Fings Ain't Wot They Used T'Be. Lionised by critics such as Kenneth Tynan, he went on to join the Royal Shakespeare Company and later had a successful career in the USA writing television and film scripts.
Among Booth's many film credits were Sparrers Can't Sing (1962) opposite Barbara Windsor, The Trials of Oscar Wilde (1960), Zulu (1964) and The Jazz Singer (1980).
On television he starred in series such as Minder, Bergerac and he played ex-convict Ernie Niles in David Lynch's Twin Peaks.
He died on August 11.

Snapshots – That One Shot
With over two hundred entries, I can only imagine how hard it was for the Chasinghosts crew to select only twelve images from the entire lot for the inaugural That One Shot Melbourne street art photography exhibition. Held down at Husband in Prahran last Friday night, the whole thing was voted for by a bunch of industry judges including Toby (Just Another Agency), Steve Cross (Korpus Tattoo), Nicole Reed (A Shot Away), Mel Dixon (Lomography) and Saul Attack (Boy Wolf Clothing).
I also got hold of one of the new "Chased" shirts, the new shirt label from the Chasinghosts team – must say, that Crisis does some dope work!
This mad shot of Sinch bombing in St Kilda from Carl A won the award – a perfect example of why I love this shit. Well deserved!
The runner up was John Mcclumpha's "Closing Time" – a brilliant shot of Degraves St.
… and the peoples choice award was another fantastic image, from Michel Cabre for "Dark Street Art" shot taken near Little Lonsdale St.
It was a fantastic idea and brilliantly executed. I can see this whole event just getting stronger and stronger every year. Its nice to see the hard working crew form Chasinghosts doing something to acknowledge such an important part of our scene – all the paintspotters and aficionados who do so much to promote the art that we all love.
Check out all the rest of the finalists here, and check out all our shots from the event below – once again, well done!
