JAIPUR: A city-based property dealer was robbed of his SUV, cash and other valuables by over half-a-dozen robbers along the Jaipur-Agra national highway in Dausa's Mahuwa area on Monday evening.
Police said the robbers kidnapped the property dealer, hijacked his SUV, beat him up and dumped him a few kilometers away from where they picked him up. The victim had contested the MLA elections from Todabheem, his native place, as an independent candidate.
According to police, the victim, identified as Rajendra Singh, was on his way to his village in Bharatpur's Todabheem area in a Scorpio.
"The robbers were also in a Scorpio. They intercepted his vehicle near Pawata and then forced him out. They then kidnapped him. One of the robbers drove away his vehicle, while the others robbed him of his gold chain, cash and other valuables," SHO Mahuwa Madan Singh said.
Rajendra Singh called the police control room after the robbers dumped him and sped away. The police are yet to arrest any of the robbers.

Fanastic product.
the best I've ever used
Well my order did take a total of three weeks to come however I did get a lot of discount from feel unique as an apology which is think is really good customer service!!!
really good colourless dry shampoo gives my hair a lot of bounce
Love this dry shampoo so much better than the other products on the high street
Fantastic service.
I rate dry shampoo on smell, residue and how much I need to use. This smells good, doesn't need too much, but does leave a bit of paleness in my brown hair after brushing.
Quick delivery and excellent products
Brilliant, smells nice and doesn't leave white residue like other brands.
Great to have in the cupboard when you want a fresh washed feel and look without getting your hair wet !!
Savior on the second day, love it!
Not used yet but have bought before. Nice big tin.
Doesn't leave white bits. Smells nice.
Bought for my teenage daughter who gets very greasy hair to use between shampoos, she likes it.
I would prefer royal mail were used instead of a carrier because at least when I am not in at delivery the parcel is taken to my local sorting office rather than taken away. This way I can get my parcel in my own time.
Bit disappointed that it isn't invisible as suggested in reviews.
Best dry shampoo I've used, the only downside is the smell! Some may like it but it's not for me.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Reclaiming Spain's Jews
The Spanish parliament still has to pass the new citizenship law, but the cabinet has already approved it and Justice Minister Alberto Ruiz-Gallardòn is sure there won't be a problem. "In Spain, a clear majority realize we have committed a historical error and have an opportunity to repair it, so I am sure that law will pass with an immense majority in parliament," he said.
Historical apologies are in fashion -- ex-South African president F.W. De Klerk apologized for apartheid, ex-British prime minister Tony Blair apologized for the slave trade and the Irish potato famine, and Pope John Paul II apologized for the Crusades, the Inquisition and the Church's historical oppression of women.
But Spain isn't just saying sorry for expelling its Jews 522 years ago.
It's offering to give their descendants back their citizenship.
Spain's Jews were given only four months in 1492 to choose between becoming Christian or leaving their homes forever. Most left, settling in Muslim-ruled North Africa and the Ottoman Empire or in other parts of Christian Europe. They kept their Spanish language in the form of Ladino -- Castilian written in the Hebrew script -- and became know as Sephardic (i.e. Spanish) Jews.
Ladino is now a dying language, but the Sephardim have retained their distinctive identity and are estimated to number up to a third of the world's 13 million Jews today. Spain's planned new law potentially covers almost all of them, for it is written very broadly.
Applicants for Spanish citizenship need not speak Ladino or even be religious. They need only be able to show a link to Sephardic culture (it could be as little as a Sephardic family name). In most cases, however, the simplest route to Spanish citizenship would be to have a local rabbi certify their Sephardic ancestry, or to get certification of their Sephardic heritage from a recognized Spanish-Jewish community.
Spain's justice minister reckons only about 150,000 Sephardic Jews will take him up on the offer (which will remain open for two years), and he doesn't think that many of them will actually want to move to Spain. But he promises the government will not be strict in deciding who qualifies as Sephardic -- "We are opening the door," he said -- and he may be surprised by how many actually apply.
What Gallardòn has not taken into account is the fact that Spanish citizenship is, for practical purposes, citizenship in all 28 member countries of the European Union. A Spanish passport-holder can enter Britain, France, Germany, Sweden or any other EU country without a visa, take up residence there, get a job or start a business there. What's not to like about this offer?
Almost half of Israel's Jews are Sephardim, and Israel is a country where second passports are in great demand. The big Sephardic communities in the United States and Mexico will probably not be tempted, but the remaining Sephardic Jews in Muslim countries, including Turkey, certainly will be. Gallardòn is thinking mostly about symbolism, which is important -- but his offer will also have a real impact on many people's lives.
Portugal, which expelled its Jews shortly after Spain did, is also trying to make amends, though on a less grand scale. Last year it changed the law and now grants citizenship to Sephardim who can demonstrate a connection to the Portuguese Jewish community. How much further might this example spread? Not very far, alas.
Most of the great expulsions of history have occurred in the context of war, such as the compulsory "population exchange" of the Greek minority in Turkey and the Turkish minority in Greece after the First World War, or the expulsion of 10 million Germans from their ancestral homes in eastern Europe at the end of the Second.
Even the expulsion of the Muslim minority from Spain in the course of the 16th century fits that model, although the wars of the Muslim conquest and the Christian reconquest were long over by then. The real history is a good deal more complex, but the view of the average Spaniard is the Muslims arrived as conquerors and when they lost they had to leave.
It's because the Jews of Spain and Portugal were entirely blameless and ruthlessly victimized that there is broad popular support in both these countries for this act of apology and belated recompense. All credit to Spain and Portugal for doing it -- but it probably wouldn't be happening even there if it seriously inconvenienced the majority.

I currenly made the change to Revit Architecture 2013 and enjoy the new features (not many, but a few). I do alot of work for school where i plot camera views in hidden line and hand render from there... sometimes its a nicer look. anyway for some reason i can not print the hatch patterns that appear on my screen. I have tried printing in raster rather than vector and that did not work. I need the hatch patterns to print, if i cant i will go back to 2012 but i cant transfer the model back because Revit does not have a save as 20** option. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sometimes if the hatch pattern is too small in the view
it won't print. Just like sometimes you can't see it unless
you zoom in.
can you go into the properties of hatch patter/filled region and check the properties of line spacings. also see attached image.
I appreciate the information, but the hatch pattern that is not printing is the wood shake pattern. It is not a simple crosshatch, but a .pat file.
also just found out that the simple 6" horizontal pattern is not showing up as well.
Got the same issues, model hatches will not print (or preview) when Print Range is set as Current Window or Selected Views/Sheets. But it works if Visible portion of current window is selected. I have brought this up with my supplier & am awaiting a result.
I have this same problem. is this a known issue with 2013? very frustrating...
Same issue directly after upgrade to 2013.
-Hatch patterns print in Hidden Line mode but do not in Consistent Colors.
-Same issues PDF or hard copy.
Great part is I can't downgrade the project back to when things were working properly... THANKS!

U.S. Edition
My first game show experience came on the Regis Philbin version of "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire"... but not as a contestant.
In 1999, I received the call from Regis himself. I was on Phone-a-Friend (PAF) duty.
The contestant I was helping was a political analyst whose job required him to travel frequently and, at times, out of the country. As a result, his knowledge of recent U.S. pop culture was a bit spotty. That's where I came in.
Within a 30-second time frame, the contestant read me the question (What woman sang to Johnny Carson on his next-to-last "Tonight Show" episode?) I quickly replied that it was Bette Midler and that he should go for it. He got it right and, when all was said and done, left the stage $64,000 richer.
I've been on the PAF lists of six other contestants over the years, but haven't been selected since. And it appears I'll never be selected again.
During this week's taping of the syndicated version of "Millionaire", it was revealed that the Phone-a-Friend lifeline was no longer available for contestants. Instead, contestants will have just three lifelines to use - Ask the Audience (which is pretty useless on upper-level questions), Ask the Expert (which can be helpful or problematic depending on the "expert" the show recruits) and Double Dip (which some contestants pass on due to the fact that if you choose to use it, you must play the question out).
"Millionaire" getting rid of PAF is like "Jeopardy!" eliminating a Daily Double, or "The Price is Right" putting Plinko to the pricing game graveyard. It was an iconic lifeline that gave the contestant the power to determine his/her fate. The contestant, not the show, decided who to choose as a PAF.
You could ask the PAF to be prepared with reference books, a computer and fast typing fingers (in case you need to Google your answer). You could practice PAF techniques with your team, such as reducing a question to its root points, giving the PAF a few extra seconds to research the answer.
So why did "Millionaire" get rid of PAF? Perhaps the show thought the use of Google and other search engines made the lifeline too easy, or it wanted to save a few bucks by not having someone on staff whose role is to prep PAFs before and during the show.
Whatever the reason, "Millionaire" just isn't the same. I could handle the change in money tree and the time clock, but not the loss of a lifeline that made the show unique. What do you think?
Thought the clock was great. I they only want three lifelines, ditch the expert. I miss phone-a-friend.
Its only a matter of time before they do away with the lifelines all together. The PAF lifeline had to be the best lifeline to use under the 50/50 one. I wish they would just stop taping new episodes of "Millionaire" all together and just show the older ones that had Regis hosting it. Meredith has got to be one of the most boring gameshow hosts in gameshow history! But I seriously doubt it will be on for to much longer.
I am so SICK of David Letterman!!!! The women he alleges slept w/ him must have been hard up or they were paid. I wouldn't give the creep house room!!! He is unattractive, unappealing and just plain weird! If he were a female he would be referred to as a "skank"...that is what he is. Get him off the air.
I wish they just cancel the show instead of tweaking it. Meredith is a boring host the timer and topics menu killed the show. i just stick to the Vietnam version of millionaire at least they are still loyal to the format
Nice article, JD. I, too, will miss the PAF idea...makes me less interested in watching the show (although I already had stopppd watching it when there was no longer a high chance of picking a random episode and knowing someone on it).
In response to the comments of deenis and JustBNMe, these two are obviously studion plants to fan the flames and promote interest for the show and blogging on the site, and it's not otherwise possible these two highbrow individuals, current in the affairs of the nation and concerned about the erosion of the planet's ozone, the plight of the world's children & the objectification of women, could possible waste their collective valuable time responded to such drivel!
As for PAF . . . Regee . . . say it isn't so!!
Phone a friend was great, why did they have to get rid of it. What's going on with this show. It was amazing, now it's the Simpsons of game shows...not what it used to be.
LOL~"Is this your final answer"?
I seriously doubt the show will be around for much longer, so i dont know why they would make such a drastic change, i actually thought the best life line they used to have in the beginning was the 50/50. Where did that go? Anyways, seems like a desparate attempt to place them in the news to increase viewers. I believe the SS Millionaire is sinking.
Does anybody still watch Millionaire? I thought we had moved on!
It is ENTERTAINMENT news......in the ENTERTAINMENT section. Did you expect to read about murders and car jackings in this section? DUH! Think before you criticize...
Coelacanth: I'll leave those stories for a future post. :) Hope you are doing well!
I agree with Jeff. While this isn't news, it is in the Entertainment section. If you don't want to be entertained, then don't come to this section :)
Replace phone a friend with a "google it" option-the contentant can try to find the answer him/herself on a computer in a specified amount of time.
I guess I can take that off of my bucket list now.
I'm with you. Yes, this is the entertainment section, but why is entertainment NEWS? We have real problems that are ignored by a large portion of our society because they are too concerned with the "Dancing" results, the update on "Lost", or finding out who is dating who in Hollyweird. Who cares??? This sort of thing should be relegated to the blogs for people who watch the show and therefore care.
it looks like between not having PAF, the double dip, and the new time constraints, the show is trying to keep the money in the bank.
Surprised not to see a mention of your experiences as a WWTBAM contestant in this post, James
Deenis: You obviously read it, so what is your point? Someone p'd in your cheerios???
i don't know how i feel, let me call my fr...err...oh snap.
My PAF was a Google expert but could not find the right answer in time.
"Millionaire" has finally jumped the shark by doing away with the PAF. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
I hope they at least replace the fourth lifeline with another. How about getting Google to sponsor a Google lifeline?
I like the idea of changing it with another lifeline at a certain point like the start of the 3rd tier. Make it a switch the question at that point. It was easily the most helpful lifeline in the past.
I was a contestant on Super Millionaire, but didn't get past the Fastest Finger round.
Most of the changes to Millionaire over the years have been disappointing, especially doing away with the phone game for choosing contestants. But I don't miss all the celebrity shows they used to have, or the darned Fastest Finger.
Maybe they'll have more prime-time shows like they did last August, and bring back some of the features that made the show such a hit.
Replace it with "twitter" a friend
Well, i have seen plenty of phone a friend calls go bad. I don't think it was an "automatic answer" by any stretch. It will be sad to see this go. It's almost as iconic as "is that your final answer?" Bad move, guys.
Deenis – seriously: GET A LIFE. What kind of pathetic troll responds to an article like an infant by stating that the article is "not news?" You do, clearly. Guess what? The internet is big enough for articles you don't care about. It's not filling up anytime soon. It's a good thing you're not in charge of what is "news," because I dread the pathetic swill someone like you would serve up. Lots of us read this article with interest. YOU may keep your mouth shut, loser.
As a viewer, PAF always just slowed things down and I usually FF'd thru it anyway. But I've always thought that they should partner up with Google and allow the contestant to have access to a PC for 30 seconds and see if they can find the answer. That would be sort of entertaining to see people who "hunt and peck" the keyboard (like me) and trying to get the right access. Probably a problem with getting approval to show various sites that might pop up. Well, maybe they can at least bring back the "switch the question" lifeline. And I agree that the experts provided by the show can sometimes be really lacking.
Didn't there use to be only three life lines before they added the expert. The problem way back was that the friends really didn't help much, but were clearly a source for potential cheating.
I don't think chances the dynamics too much. It's still got that all-or-nothing vibe. It's just change...and change is good.
Yael: On the show's Web site, an updated rules and regulations form deletes all references to PAF. Also, several contestants who participated in this week's tapings have acknowledged PAF being dropped.
How about getting rid of all the lifelines and making the player's earn their prize money on their own?
Anyone who's whining about it not being real news, maybe you should learn to read which section this is. When's the last time you've seen a hard news story in the ENTERTAINMENT section?
As for the lifeline, it is kind of a bummer, in a weird purist way. If I'm not mistaken, you have to have a landline to be a PAF, and well, how many people have landline phones as opposed to 1999? Not saying they're completely extinct, but I wonder if that might have had something to do with it. But as an alternative, how about the contestant still gets to bring a trusted relative or friend, and have them as the in-studio Lifeline? Of course, having only one, it might suck to not have a variety of friends (I think you got 3 PAFs) to choose from to help you remember some obscure fact from Greek literature.
A few years ago, "Millionaire" had a Lifeline where you could "switch" the question without guessing and without penalty. Would love to see them bring that back.
Oh Regis!
I think that the show is "jumping the shark." It's just not the samy any more.
I will lose sleep over this tidbit of news.
Sometimes it was so blatant that the PAF was googling the answer that the lifeline might as well have been: Ask Google instead of Phone a Friend. Maybe they can come up with a new option, but I think it's better that it's gone.
I think I agree, for the same reason....... All though I must admit I never watched the show that much....
I think eliminating the PAF is terrible. Selection of good PAFs and practicing with them has always been an important aspect of the show. The so-called "experts" selected by the show have been far too inconsistent in value and the contestants have no control over which expert they get. Why is WWTBAM making this radical change mid-season?
I was at a taping this past Friday and they still had the PAF lifeline and didn't say anything about giving it up. I wonder if this is true then.
I had the good fortune of being on the syndicated version of the show, and when I used my PAF, he dutifully Googled for an answer, but got none. Turned out the question regarding the Chinese calendar returned plenty of hits – just all in Chinese. Which, sadly, my PAF does not read.
So the PAF isn't exactly foolproof, says the fool. But if it is seen as a problem, why not make it available up to a certain point, and then have it turn into another lifeline if it goes unused (for example, it's a PAF up to the second lock-in point, after that it's the Double Dip)? It's too iconic to discard completely.
this show is still on?
Deenis: It's called "entertainment news".
deenis, do you not know what a blog is?
I'm getting sick of people whining about things like this not being news. This is the entertainment section, for goodness' sake. If you want news, go to the NEWS section. Do you also rip on all the society/entertainment pages in all the newspapers that have been around since your parents were in diapers?
I think it's the right thing to do. Maybe they replace it with another lifeline, if they can figure one out, but in this day and age, internet access means that Phone-A-Friend easily becomes an instant answer to almost any question–that shouldn't be what it is. It should help, not be an 'I-Win' button.
Without Phone-A-Friend Slumdog Millionaire would have had a very different ending! Keep it!
I always wanted a chance to be one of those PAFs. Tsk, yet another life ambition down the tubes. There's still hope for that Nobel, though.
Dammit, Regis!

I have been prescribed the medication called nortriptyline 10 mg because I have constant headaches and have not taken it yet. I have this fear of what or how it is going to react on me. Has anyone ever used this before for this reason? I have headaches every day and use excedrin. Back of neck along side of head on one side. Mostly when I lay down and then get up or wake up with one. What is the feeling on this medication. I take quite a few meds for diabetes and etc. Metformin, fenofibrate, simvastatin, glipizide, exedrin on a daily basis. He wants me to take one pill 1/2 hour before bedtime.Have had the meds for months now and just cant seem to get myself to do it

Hi Barbaranna, I took nortryptaline for a short time for depression. If you decide to take the plunge and try it, be careful of your diet. Nortryp can make one crave carbs and sugar.
I hope this med makes your headaches go away! If you take it, please post again to let all of us know how it worked for headaches.
Best o' luck to you,
Hi Barabaranna,
I am currently taking Nortip. I was getting headaches almost everyday and 6 months ago I was prescribed it. It works wonders, well it did for me.

I also have this same type of pain and headache and I have found that ice on the area at the back of your head /neck helps as much as anything else if not better, when you are just desperate for it to stop. Using the computer alot with my head bent over or reading with my head down, as well as using the same pillow 3 nights in a row tends to precede these headaches. I used to take amitriptyline for headaches ( just don't have a prescription for it now, but think I am going back on it soon) and amitriptyline is very similar to this. Take it at night as it might make you sleepy, unless your doctor says otherwise. This is a really low dose of it I think also. It may work great for you, I hope so, as these headaches are a real nuisance and tend to stay all day with me and sometimes it runs down my shoulder. Try switching pillows as well and flip it over if you wake in the night.

my doctor prescribed nortrip for me just this past spring for my headaches. In the past, zoloft and cymbalta helped with my headaches while also treating my depression. the prozac I was prescribed didn't help with the headaches, so we tried the nortrip. 30mg dose helped and it's done pretty good at keeping my headaches at bay. Couldn't hurt to give it a try.

I also suffer from headaches, migraines to be specific. Previously my PCP prescribed amitriptyline, which did not help, and then she referred me to a neurologist, who prescribed Topomax, which caused very bothersome side effects. Then I went to a new neurologist who prescribed nortriptyline and citalopram (I also suffer from depression) in addition to stopping hormonal birth control. I have noticed far less migraines since following this treatment plan, but I am not sure if it is the combination of the 3, one or both of the medications, or simply stopping the BC pills. I have noticed some bothersome side effects such as night sweats, vivid disturbing dreams, and drowsiness/tiredness. My neurologist referred me to a psychiatrist to take over the management of these medications, and when I told the psychiatrist about the tiredness, she just prescribed Wellbutrin.

I've already said lots of writerly things in this space. Feel free to skim the archives for writing tips and clevery-worded encouragement and a smattering of nonsense.
I'll be back with a new post when Available Time and Having Something to Say intersect.
Meanwhile, write stuff.
]]>Anyway, here you go.
Wait…you read the other post, right? Well click here (or above where it's also linked because I'm a linking fool) first. Then come back to this page for more dialogical goodness. [I don't need to mention that there are exceptions to everything I tell you below, do I? I mean, you're smart enough to know that without a reminder, right? Good. Then I won't remind you.]
Look, Who's Talking Now? – One of the most common dialogue problems I run into with first-time novelists is that all the characters sound alike. While this can appear to happen in real life (see: junior high girls), it doesn't really. The words we choose to spit or drool from our lips differ from one person to the next (even among junior high girls). So does the rhythm of those words – the spaces between them. Some people repeat themselves because they don't have many words to choose from. Some people use big words because they read a lot of books or found an abandoned thesaurus while waiting at the DMV. Our speech patterns are uniquely our own. Listen. No, I'm not saying that so you'll pay closer attention to this blogpost. I'm encouraging you to actually listen to Real People in Conversation. Then apply what you've learned to your fiction. If you know your characters well (this is a theme I will never stop shouting), you'll know how each of them uses language. Write that way. In the perfect written world, readers should be able to identify characters simply by their dialogue.
Are You Listening? – When a character is talking, the presumption is that the people they're talking to are really listening. Because, of course, what your character is saying is Really Important to the Plot. But maybe they're not listening quite so intently after all. Maybe they're queuing up a response, unwilling to hear what the speaker is saying because what they have to say is so much more important. (This never happens in real life. Ahem.) Or maybe they're distracted by something going on around them. (Despite how they might look on the page, conversations don't exist in a vacuum. The world spins madly on.) Or maybe they're actively ignoring the speaker, not because they have something more important to say, but because they simply don't like the jerk. Consider how the characters are (or aren't) listening, and you'll naturally write more believable dialogue.
Context Rules – Don't feed lines to your characters so they can tell the readers what is going on. That's just lazy and rude. Use context to deliver the details that people wouldn't naturally be talking about. Show me the red button that triggers the missiles. Don't make the character say, "This is the red button that triggers the missiles" if everyone in the room already knows that. Whenever a character reveals something that he wouldn't naturally say in conversation with the person he's talking to, I am pushed out of the moment, forced to consider the possibility that these characters are pausing their story to talk directly to me. That's just dumb. (Unless you're using that perspective/voice as a literary device. But please, don't do this unless you're really a brilliant writer. Thanks.) Build context, then trust it.
I Know, Right? – Characters who know each other pre-exist that conversation on the page; they have a history together. They communicate (just like you do with people you know) in a kind of shorthand. Not everything is said – not everything needs to be said. When Bob says, "He's dead, Jim," to Bonnie, there's no need to explain this to the reader. Let the characters have lives beyond the page. As above, allow context to give us enough to figure out the rest. Instead of writing "Bonnie smiled, remembering how Bob always used to watch Star Trek." Have her respond with a smile and, "No, he's only pining." Don't explain it. It's their in-joke. Some readers will know the references, some won't. That's okay. What all readers will get from that exchange is that these two have history – they know each other in a way that can be seen in a simple, unexplained exchange.
Say Something, Anything – Or don't. Dialogue isn't just words; it's also the things we don't say, the pauses and the spaces and the awkward, echoing silence. Sometimes the best thing a character can say is nothing at all. Use this sparingly for greater effect, but don't ignore the emotional power of wordlessness.
Stop Talking – Break up those dialogue scenes with compelling expository writing. Just as Big Blocks of Expository writing can weigh heavy on some readers (I often hesitate before buying a book that is comprised of unending blocks of unbroken text), so can conversations that go on for page after page after page. It's not a conversation, it's a novel. Conversation is a piece of that puzzle, not the whole thing. Mix it up.
Rants and Speechifying – Rants can be entertaining. They're usually fueled by strong emotion, so they tend to reveal a lot about the Ranter. Speeches, on the other hand, are often boring. In fiction, speeches typically appear on the page when there's Something Very Important to say. Fine. But before you give a character a long speech, make sure he's the speechifying kind (know your characters), and make damn sure it's reasonable in context. So many speeches spouted by characters end up sounding like the writer is preaching to the reader. I don't want characters to preach to me. I want them to react honestly to the circumstances they're facing. In my experience, speeches serve best as background noise for while you check your email. Rants, however – even wrong-minded rants, especially those – can be dangerous. Danger is good for fiction. Boredom? Not so much.
'Nuff Said – There will come a time during a conversation when one or more of the people involved will run out of things to say. Unless that's the point of the conversation, end it sooner. Do something interesting with exposition to keep the reader's interest. There will also come a time when a character simply doesn't know what to say. This may be because you don't know your character all that well. (You know what to do.) Or perhaps it's because the conversation has simply run its course. End it. Don't drag on conversations just to fill a page.
Bonus advice: Don't drag out blogposts, either.
"He's dead, Jim."
]]>It can be a clever plot. Something about uncontrollable magic or unpredictable mayhem or unconventional love. Or maybe your idea is a character. Someone who stands out. Someone who blends in. Someone who lives in a coffee house attic. Someone whose feet never touch the ground.
Okay, now the hardest part: You must write a sentence. Any sentence will do (yes, even a sentence fragment) because you'll probably change it a hundred times anyway. Here, I wrote some for you:
Next comes the hardest part: You have to write more sentences. Lots of them. Good ones. Bad ones. Brilliant ones. Ugly ones. Sentence after sentence after sentence after sentence.
This is going to take you longer than you thought. It always does. Oh, sure, you'll have one 10,000 word weekend. And for a few days after, you'll think of yourself as an Actual Professional Writer.
That feeling will fade.
After three weekends in a row with an average output of 723 words, you'll be ready to quit.
You'll be ready to quit a lot. Writers walk a tightrope from the beginning of a book until the end and even the slightest breeze can tip them off balance. You know these breezes by their more common names: doubt, frustration, uncertainty, hopelessness, fear, distraction. They're relentless, so just fix your eyes on the other side and keep moving. It's okay if you only wrote seven sentences today. It's even okay if those seven sentences suck.
Just stick to it. If you do, you'll eventually be ready to face the hardest part of writing a novel: Typing "The End." Yes, there's a moment of satisfaction, perhaps even joy in typing those two words. It's a well-deserved moment. You just wrote a novel!
No. You didn't.
You just wrote a first draft. When you type "The End," you're actually typing "The Beginning of All That I Still Have to Do to Make This Great."
But there is some good news here. You've made it to the hardest part of writing: Revisions.
During this season of a book, you're no longer on a tightrope; you're carving through a jungle of your own making with a machete. All sentences are suspect. Many must die. You'll have to write some new sentences, too. Lots of them. (I know the machete metaphor breaks down here. Let it go.)
During the (interminable) revision process, you'll hand your "latest draft" to friends and family and hired strangers. They'll nearly always tell you what you don't want to hear: "It's not finished yet." Deciding which suggestions to use and which to ignore may very well be the hardest part of writing.
[Side note: Revisions last forever. I'm not being hyperbolic. Twenty years after your novel has hit the bestseller lists, you'll still be re-writing it in your head.]
This leads to the hardest part* of writing a novel: Deciding to be done with it. Despite the infinite revisions that will go on in your head, there comes a time when you must say "Enough!!" (in a doubly-exclamatory voice) and begin the marketing process or the agent-search process or the contest-entering process, so you can move on to the next book.
The next book? The next book.
You're going to need an idea…
*I'm well aware that I described every step as "the hardest part" of writing. I don't need to explain myself here, do I?
]]>Step 2. Write.
Step 3. Go back to Step 1.
I"ll be back with a slightly more thoughtful post soon. Meanwhile, have fun getting stuck in this loop.
And then what do we do? We use that compellingly unique voice to tell the stories we think will sell.
Not right away. First there's a season when we write the stories of our heart without consideration of marketability. These are the stories that poke at us from the inside. Stories that defy traditional categorization. Plots that take unpopular twists. Characters who don't act the way they do in other people's books.
For many writers, that season doesn't last. Stories that poke writers from the inside are often a tough sell, especially through traditional circles (but also in the new world of Self-Publish Whatever You Want).
I didn't really mean it, Marketing. Have I told you how nice you look today? Love the bow tie. You're wearing it ironically, right?
Selling books is an honorable and good goal. We find validation in readership and readership mostly comes from selling books. (Or giving them away. But that's the subject of another blog post.) I know we say "I don't care if I become rich and famous, I'm happy if even one person likes my novel." But we don't mean it as much as we'd like to. And it's because we don't mean it as much as we'd like to that our writing often takes a subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) detour. We start to ask different "Maybe" questions than we once did.
Maybe if I make the vampires more sparkly.
Maybe if I add a love triangle.
Maybe if I sprinkle in a few zombies.
Maybe if I make the antagonist more Republican.
Don't miss the point here. Maybe isn't a bad word. Quite the contrary. Writers are made out of Maybes. But when the market (or our best understanding of it) begins to dictate what kind of Maybes we should ponder in the writing process, we risk losing what makes our writing voice unique. Note that I said "we risk losing." It's not a given that a writer in search of sales will lose his voice in that pursuit. But the temptation to "write books that can sell" can chip away at what makes that writer uniquely wonderful.
So is it some kind of compromise then? Finding the happy medium between who we are and what we know will sell? If your primary goal is to sell books, then yes, the writing process will sometimes feel like compromise. You'll choose genres that you might not have chosen to write before. You'll revise your story so it grabs readers from page one, rather than letting it simmer for a few chapters as in your original plan. You'll add subplots to spice up the romance or kick up the action.
Is that such a bad thing?
No. It's your story and you can do whatever you want with it. And a good editor will help you maintain your voice even as you work toward your primary goal of selling books.
So it's all good, then, right?
Yep. It's all good. That is, until you feel a story poking at you from the inside that doesn't fit the current brand-development plan.
I know what you're thinking. You can write both kinds of books. The ones that have a good chance of selling, and the ones that poke at you from the inside. (I'm aware they might actually be one and the same. If they are? Why are you reading this? Surely not so you can gloat. You're far too content with your writing life to gloat.)
Go ahead and divide yourself into two authors – the one who cranks out romance novels for a ready audience and the one who writes about the lost legacy of forgotten presidents. (Or whatever.) Then let me know where you found all those extra hours in a day, because you're going to need them to support two careers.
If you have that kind of time, go for it. Seriously. You'll have the best of both worlds. But if you don't? Well, I'd counsel my authors to write the sellable books. And then I'd do my damnedest to make sure each one is amazing and notable for its uniquely compelling author's voice.
But as you may already know about me, I don't often take my own advice. I have a hard time writing shitty first drafts (you might disagree, of course) and I don't write every day and I have poor posture and suffer from questionable eating habits. (Breakfast – it's the most important meal of the day. That's why I save it for late afternoon, when I'm actually hungry.)
I had a brief season when I tried to write marketable books. Those unfinished masterpieces have since been relegated to the "Nope" folder on my computer.
Instead, I have decided to only write those books that poke at me from the inside.
There's the novelette (really? who reads those?) about a bomb that lands on a boy's desk, and the way his life is changed by that singular event. And the speculative YA novel that has no factions, no love triangles, and no chapters-long training scenes. And the story about a 10-year-old girl named Raspberry who moves with her dying father to live on a hill overlooking a haunted forest.
When people ask me what genre my books are, I don't know what to tell them.
They're…um…about longing and loss and hope and brokenness and grace and sometimes monsters. They're…Stephenesque?
Not very compelling cover copy.
Do I want my books to sell? Of course. And to that end, I'm self-publishing some and pursuing an agent for others. But I'm not chasing royalties. I'm not chasing validation. I'm simply chasing the stories. So far, it's been quite an entertaining journey. And you'll never guess what I'm finding along the way…
*Not sure if you've found yours yet? Here's a test. Go back to the last thing you've written after leaving it alone for a couple of weeks. If you find yourself wondering what brilliant novelist is secretly making your words sound better, you're quite probably there. Or at least at the beginning of "there." Your voice will change over time as you do. And if you aren't impressed by your words? Well, that doesn't mean you can't write. Nor does it mean you can't sell books. Readers are a fickle bunch. And I'm sure you'll agree that they don't care a tenth as much about writing voice as you or I do. Except the ones that are also writers. (I think I just created another black hole there. Sorry, Siberia.)
]]>Last summer I visited the set of the new Zach Braff movie (coming to theaters near you this July – and depending on the edit, starring me in one scene as a blurry background extra) and was non-plussed by the famously tanned faces that wandered in and out of the virtual frame. My favorite part of the visit was talking briefly with Zach's much less famous brother, Adam, who is the co-author of the screenplay. (For the record, I would have been equally interested in talking with the other Braff, Joshua, who wrote the surprisingly compelling coming-of-age novel, The Unthinkable Thoughts of Jacob Green. But he was off living his regular life.)
The only category of the self-congratulatory spectacle known as The Oscars that even remotely interests me is "Original Screenplay." Yes, Cate Blanchett is a wonder of evolution, but I'd still rather talk story with Spike Jonze than glad-hand with Galadriel.
I like to tell myself that my predilection for pen monkeys* over prima donnas makes me a little less shallow than typical celebrity fawners, but that's just a poor attempt to pretend I'm not totally smitten by those who pay their dues with the written.
Consider John Green, for example. I mean, look at the guy. Nerd. Normal. Generous. Funny. Successful. He's the me I didn't know I always wanted to be. Or maybe should have been.
And J. K. Rowling. I want to spend my summer vacation in her imagination. Then I want to learn a spell to make myself 12 again so I can enjoy delivering the best "How I Spent My Summer Vacation" report in the history of life.
And Marilynne Robinson. I'm a slow writer because I don't know what to say. She's a slow writer because she wants to be certain of what she says. I want her patience (right now) and her gentle genius for character.
And of course, Neil. I visited both the House on the Rock and Rock City long before I read American Gods. And I had a passing interest in mythology. It's like I had all the pieces I needed to write that book except Neil's brilliant mind. And how did he know I once wished for an ocean at the end of my childhood street? How could anyone know that? I want his way with words.
I want all their writerly gifts. I even want a taste of the celebrity I claim to have no interest in. I want people to line up at my book signings all a-quiver to be in the same room as "that cool guy who wrote that amazing thing I read fifteen times!"
When I stop to think about it, though, I realize what I really want is simply to be a great writer. The kind worthy of such admiration, whether or not it ever comes. But I'm not going to get there by drooling at the feet of my writerly idols.
So if Neil Gaiman walks into this coffee shop, I'll try not to stare. Instead, I'll offer a nod of respect, then return my attention to my laptop. I'll write until I understand why I use phrases like "predilection for pen monkeys," then I'll keep writing until I become the best version of the only person who can write like me.
Meanwhile, I'll brush up on my Neil Gaiman impersonation. I mean, in case of future book signings. Because nothing makes fans go all a-quiver like a smart English accent.
*Pen Monkey is a term I discovered on writer/writing guru Chuck Wendig's blog. He's way smarter than I am and a far superior writer and blogger. What are you still doing here anyway? Go there. You don't need me anymore.
I can't tell you how many times I've said that to writers. (Not because it's a secret. I just didn't keep track.) If you're not doing both of those things, any other advice you might unearth as you wander this vast Internet wasteland won't do you much good.
There are no shortcuts to "getting there" as a writer. By "there" I mean a place where your writing is distinct enough that readers want to read all your books, and compelling enough that they forget you exist between the first and last page.
But you didn't come here to hear six words you already know. You came here for the Secret to Becoming a Best-Selling Author. (Really? Um…that's someone else's blog.) No, you came here for encouragement and commiseration and the occasional bit of accidental wisdom. Today's attempt at all three can be summed up in a single word. (You already know what it is. You're observant that way.)
You want to be a better writer? You listen. To everything. Here's how:
Listen to other writers. Read their copious books and blogs. Try their writing habits on for size. (Except that "getting up at 4 a.m. to write before the world awakes" thing. Seriously. That's just insane.) There is no "one size fits all" system for writers. Learn what other writers are doing, then adopt only those things that work for you. Please note: This doesn't mean you're destined to write your own "How to Write" book someday. It's okay if some writers don't do that.
Listen to your characters. Well-written characters are a writer's best friend. They can help solve just about any plot problem, given the chance to speak. Make sure your characters have permission to tell the truth, then trust them when they tell it. If you've painted yourself into a plot hole, ask for advice. If they don't have any, it's likely that your characters aren't as well-written as you'd thought. Start there.
Listen to your critics. There are two kinds of critics in the world – those who love the sound of their own voice more than anything, and those who love the sound of a well-written story. The former are attention-seekers who don't really care about your words. Most people would tell you to ignore them. That's solid advice. But I think there's some value in listening to them once in a while. Not because they have great wisdom (though they might), but because they can teach you something about the human condition; like for example, narcissism. Then you can use this when you craft characters for your next novel.
The other kind of critics deserve your full attention. When they say "I struggled with Mrs. Jenkins' motivation for killing the penguin," they're telling you "I really wanted this to work, but it's missing something." These sorts of comments are not unlike the way baseball fans lean into fair territory as the potential winning home run arcs through the air toward the foul pole. Good criticism is leaning toward hoped-for results. These folks want you to succeed. Try leaning along with them to see what they see.
Listen to your mother. That's usually good advice in general. But when it comes to your creative work, there's still something to be said for listening to Mom (or other Family Member of Significance). Maybe your mom is an honest-even-if-it-hurts mom. Lucky you. Brace yourself, then listen. She might not have a lot of insight about the literary brilliance in your novel, but she probably knows a thing or two about you. Who knows, you might discover a flaw in your writing voice that only your mom could identify. ("It doesn't sound like you. It's much too happy.")
Or maybe your mom is an I-love-everything-you-do mom who still has that handprint ashtray on the coffee table in the living room even though she's never smoked a cigarette in her life. Take those glowing words about your crappy first draft for what they are: a sincere desire for you to be happy and successful. This is fuel for the soul. Burn it while you revise that crappy first draft.
Listen to your inner voice. I don't mean the voices in your head. Nor do I mean the characters' voices here. I'm talking about the little voice that says things like "that doesn't seem to be working" or "that's kind of the best thing you've ever written." I'm talking about your writerly instincts. Note: Like most of these bullet points, this idea is closely tied to the original six words. The more you read and write, the better your instincts. Does that mean a day will come when you don't need an editor? Um, probably not. But it does mean when that editor asks "what if you tried something like this?" you'll be able to answer the query with confidence.
Listen to hope. Believe that you can do the impossible. Because you can.
Listen to despair. It's okay to feel like a failure once in a while. Fighting that feeling just serves to prolong it. Be emotionally honest with yourself. Say it with me: "I suck as a writer." Go ahead and compare yourself unfavorably with all the other writers. Just don't stay here. Remember that you're the only one who can write like you. Maybe that doesn't feel like a good thing today (because you suck). But tomorrow? Tomorrow it will be a grace.
Listen to the wind. We live in a loud world. All those voices above (and many others) are constantly competing for your attention. Sometimes the best thing to listen to is…anything but those voices. Take a walk through the forest and bend your ear to the wind as it bends the branches to the earth. Skip rocks across a pond and count each slap of stone on water. Play hopscotch with the neighbor kids and let their laughter soak your spirit. Stand on a busy street corner and embrace the chaotic rhythm of the workaday world as a kind of urban music.
Don't think about your work in progress. Just take in the sounds and silences of the world around you. This may be exactly what your brain needs to sort through the current writing challenge: uninterrupted time for the subconscious to do its best work. But even if you don't become a better writer by listening to the wind, at least you will have listened to the wind. And that will make you a better person.
]]>But not totally gray. I'm not old enough to be revered by them.
I write by the seat of my pants. I'm not degreed enough to talk shop with the MFA crowd.
I was raised in the church. But I'm no longer Christian enough for that culture, or the subculture of writers who are fighting to find their place in it.
I was married for a quarter century. I've been alone for nearly a decade. I'm not married enough to join you and your husband for dinner. I'm not single enough to find my tribe in a bar or a book club.
I'm not successful enough to make you want to be like me. I'm not handsome enough to catch your superficial eye. I'm not brilliant enough to write the novel that will make you fall in love with me.
I'm not prolific enough to overwhelm you. I'm not motivated enough to market what I've finished.
I'm not connected enough to call in favors. I'm not humble enough to learn from my mistakes. I'm not confident enough to make the mistakes I need to make.
I'm not a good enough writer to make you second-guess your decision to write. I'm not a bad enough writer to instill in you a feeling of well-deserved superiority.
My stories aren't lyrical enough. Or direct enough. Or familiar enough. Or surprising enough.
I'm not sane enough to be someone's anchor. I'm not insane enough to dangle my feet over the ledge.
I'm not polite enough to appease the easily-offended. I'm not profane enough to chat comfortably with the filter-less.
I'm not happy enough to make you want to be near me. I'm not sad enough…well, I might be sad enough for most things.
It's all enough to make me want to quit. As a writer. (And sometimes as a human being.)
But then I remember the shadows with skin on. The characters I've found and the characters who've found me. Thomas Lingonberry, whose life is changed by a bomb, a girl, and distraction. Becky, who is so broken, so alone, so in need of a friend like Lindy. Or the girl in the tiger light who doesn't want to remember the things she can't forget. And all the other characters waiting in line for their stories to be told. Walter "Blue" Parkins. Pearl. Raspberry Lynette Granby.
And then I realize, I'm not only enough for them. I'm all they have.
In the worst moments, the loneliest moments when depression is lying to me and all I can see are the places where I'm not enough, the places where I don't fit, I can believe they're all I have, too.
I know that's a lie. I have so much more. I'll find my way back to remembering that, eventually.
But until then, they'll be enough.
]]>But somewhere around page [insert number here], the story begins to drag. I mean dead-body-up-a-steep-hill drag. Never fear, I'm here to help. (Not with the body-dragging. I have a bad back.)
Step One: Get a 12-sided die. (Ask your table-gaming friend. If you casually refer to it as a d12 he'll invite you to join him next Friday in his parents' basement for a rousing game of Pokéthulhu. You're welcome.)
Step Two: Roll the 12-sided die. Note the number.
Step Three: Choose the associated item from the Action List below and incorporate it into your novel.
Step Four: Enjoy your Pulitzer Prize.
Action List:
1 – Take something from your protagonist. I mean something he really cares about. Like his home. (Fires happen. Faulty wiring, mostly.) Or his mother. (Death happens. Like when fires happen.) Or his right hand. (Sith happens.)
2 – Incur God's wrath. Send a tornado into the story. Or some other act of God, like a flood or a hurricane. Or Obamacare.**
3 – Reveal a deep dark secret. I don't mean your deep dark secret (like the fact that you love Justin Bieber – I've seen your browser history), I mean your protagonist's secret. Have one of her friends break her trust by telling a mutual friend about the skeleton in her closet. (It's a squirrel skeleton wearing Barbie clothes. I can explain.)
4 – Cousin Oliver it. If you get the reference from that alone, you don't need to read any further. If you don't get the reference, Google it. Just make sure you Oliver it up in a believable way. Cousins rarely show up on your doorstep without good reason.
5 – Downsize. Look, your protagonist has been doing really well and all with the grave digging. I mean, when I look at those sharp lines and perfectly-defined spaces all I can think of is Frank Lloyd Wright. But he's got to go. The cemetery can only keep one digger on staff and Barney has seniority.
6 – Get lost. Send your protagonist on a quest to get something mundane. Like a folding chair for the back porch. But have him go to an unfamiliar store in an unfamiliar part of town. Maybe he finds himself in the middle of a gang war. Maybe his car breaks down. Maybe he asks for directions at a gas station that's being robbed. Or maybe he ends up on an island with a bunch of other people who don't know how they got there.
7 – Find something. Have your protagonist uncover something unexpected while doing something mundane. Like a corpse in the flower garden. Or a cache of love letters in the attic from a famous actor written to her mother. Or a doorway to a magical land in the back of the coat closet. Or a solid surface at the back of the coat closet that doesn't lead anywhere at all.
8 – Get infected. Give your protagonist a disease. Something that comes on all of a sudden and really screws with his current plans. Preferably something that causes temporary blindness and/or paralysis.
9 – Drop a piano. Put your protagonist in the path of a random accident. Does he escape unscathed? I think it depends on the wind.
10 – Run. Give your protagonist a reason to leave right away. Maybe he owes a mobster lots of money and that mobster has just rung the doorbell. Maybe his house is on fire. (See #1 above.) Or maybe his planet about to be destroyed by Vogon Constructor Ships.
11 – Mail a package. Send your protagonist something that will make him get out of bed. A key to a storage locker. Or a map to a storage locker. Or a box of spiders.
12 – Go crazy. Mix your protagonist's medications. Have a neighbor give him the wrong kind of mushrooms for his chicken marsala. Turn the neighbor's stereo up to 11 while it's playing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" on repeat.
*No, I haven't actually seen your opening paragraph. It's entirely possible it sucks. If it does you should probably fix it.
**Yes, it's a cheap joke. But I enjoyed it and that's what matters. For the record, Obamacare is the only reason I have health insurance today. I'm now fully covered for when the one-percenters invoke a plague to destroy the rest of us.
]]>Chances are you're sharing a Table of Earned Privilege with Writers of Similar Experience. Let's say you're a self-published author. I mean the kind who hires an editor and a cover designer and a copyeditor and cares enough to produce something of quality, not the kind who throws a first draft at Amazon and suddenly thinks himself the next Stephen King. (Those particular writers are sitting at a different table – the Table of Delusion. It's in the Janitor's closet.) You're seated at the Making a Go Of It And I Really Mean It Table. Look around your table. See any traditionally-published A-list authors?
Hey, stay focused here. Your eyes are wandering. I get it, there are some really cool tables.
Like that one with all the pizza and wine. That's the Hocking-Howey Table of Self-Publishing Success. (It's a somewhat honorary title, since they both also have seats at another table I'll describe in a moment, long after this metaphor has exceeded its sell-by date*.) They're a good bunch of folks, eager to engage in writerly conversation. They were you once. But let's be realistic – one of the reasons for their success is all the time they spend writing and editing and marketing. So if they don't have time to chat, don't fret. You can always visit their website or buy their "How I Made It" book to pick up a few tips. I don't mean that snarkily. Many of these folks have really good advice.
Or look at that table with all the home-made food and a box or two of Chinese take-out. That's the Barnes & Noble™ New Book Table of Mid-List Authors. They're a kind-hearted, sincere, yet surprisingly anxious bunch. If you study them for a while, you'll see them stealing glances at the Hocking-Howey table, wishing their personal budgets allowed for Pizza Whenever, too. They'll chat with you if you tell them how much you love their books, or if you manage to say something clever and/or re-tweetably hilarious. But don't expect to sit with them for long. There's only so much room at the table. ("But it's a huge table," you argue. Yep. And yet they're always one seat short. It's like a perpetual game of musical chairs.) Besides, they feel most comfortable talking amongst themselves, sharing encouragement and contract horror stories while they pass the potatoes and scratch-made gravy. Keep watching, though. They'll often wander off to visit another table. Yes, the one you're pretty sure is catered by Ruth's Chris Steak House, though it might be Outback Steak House – it's hard to tell from this distance.
That would be the Limited-Seating-Available Table of A-List Authors. Oh, they don't call it that themselves. They're mostly really nice people who don't have much inclination to live up to their iconic status. The best ones are happy to wander around the cafeteria to chat when they have a rare, spare moment. They love writing and writers. But once again, there's only so much time left for such things, what with the TED talks, the multitude of ancillary projects, the sold-out book signings, the month-long writing retreats in Bora Bora and the wistful moments staring across a mirror-still lake at twilight remembering what it was like to be anonymous.
Pretty much everyone in the cafeteria is a hardworking writer just like you. Some are more talented. Some are more prolific. Some just happened to be in the right place at the right time. But they aren't jerks who would rather get a one-star review than be seen chatting at your table. (Well, most of them, anyway.) They're just doing the best they can with what they have, wherever they sit. So it shouldn't be too disheartening when your tweet to an author who sits at a different table goes un-favorited, un-responded to.
Of course, it often is disheartening. We say we write because we love to write; that even if we never find success we'll keep writing. But we say it while staring longingly across the cafeteria. We want to sit where the coolest** kids sit.
Maybe someday you will. But you won't get there by staring longingly at them across the cafeteria. You'll get there by writing. A lot. You'll get there by engaging with other writers, no matter where they sit. You'll get there because of your talent. Or your hard work. Or because you happen to be in the right place at the right time.
But if you don't? That's okay too. Because Cheetos are delicious and all tables are suitable for writing. Yes, even the one in the janitor's closet.
*I'm aware the table-lines aren't so neatly drawn in reality. But I liked the metaphor. I'm a big fan of metaphors. Especially imperfect ones. They go nicely with my collection of incomplete thoughts and broken dreams.
**Each of us has a unique definition of "coolest." You might think the author who sells a quintillion novels is coolest. I might think the author who can burp the alphabet in Klingon is coolest. (Is that even possible?)

Lapis Lazuli
- 079 9209 503
Lonely Planet can't book you a room here, but want to make sure you find the best hotel possible. That's why we've included contact information so you can call or email them yourself.
Lonely Planet review
A joint Afghan-German guesthouse, this is deservedly popular with international workers. Rooms are tidy if sometimes small, and bathrooms are shared. Advance booking is recommended, although a second guesthouse (Lapis Lazuli 2) is being opened to accommodate further guests. The food is a big draw though – the restaurant (open 12pm to 2pm and 6pm to 10pm; mains from US$6) has good meat and pasta dishes, but head here for the 'all you can eat' Monday barbecue from 7pm to fill your plate with German sausage, chicken and meat, and great bowls of delicious salads. There's even draught German lager.
Our independent authors have visited Lapis Lazuli and selected this as one of our recommended guesthouses in Kunduz.

Close to the hospital and easy to access.
Posted Jan 26, 2015Pros: Decent rates for people with someone in the hospital. Easy to work with.
Cons: The breakfasts were a little lacking in variety. Almost everything was carbs only.
Nice room. No problems after figuring out that the AC was on instead of the heater.

On the fence
Posted Dec 18, 2014Pros: The staff was accommodating.
Cons: Housekeeping, better beds, strict enforcement of nonsmoking rooms.
I think this could be a great hotel, it has potential, just a few things need improvement. The staff was actually very accommodating. They try to help you out in all situations. We had two rooms and one of the rooms was wreaking with cigarette smoke so we had to change rooms. Thank goodness they had another one available. It was during graduation weekend and we weren't able to check in our hotel until late because they didn't get the rooms cleaned in time. Another frustrating point. The beds were rather uncomfortable and there were only a few towels in the bathroom. We had three in our room (2 adults and 1 child) and we had to share towels and washrags.
by A verified travelerfrom Bryan, TX
Not so much.
Posted Nov 12, 2014Remote broken initially . Dusty, a lot of lights did not work, scary shower curtain. Room was not cleaned on one occasion, no wash cloths at all . The staff was somewhat friendly, and tried to address some of out issues . I would not stay there again. Thank you.
by A verified traveler
you get what you pay for.
Posted Nov 12, 2014Pros: The staff was friendly.
Cons: The entire hotel probabbly needs to be renovated.
The room was large and comfortable enough, but the dirty, stained carpet was yucky. The shower curtain had mold on it, and the bathroom smelled like mildew. I chose the hotel because it was the least expensive I found on Expedia. Next time I will choose a little more carefully.

Great price!
Posted Oct 24, 2014 on Hotels.comIve stayed here a few times and you can not beat the price. Its clean and its right by Tech. Only thing is, I got a room at the end of the hall by the exit doors. They slam all night long and they are loud! I also forgot my razor and they have a little note in the bathroom saying they can give you one. Nope they actually don't stock those things. But overall it was great price and a great room.

I'd be happy with a 10 win season and a #1 chance at the fist pick of the 2014 draft. Play all the rookies, they need the experience. Play Sanders, Henson, and Giannis. Hell, play Wolters too. They'll all have a chance to develop together. And when the Bucks draft Wiggins with the 1st pick, he can play with them all.

On Mar 25, 2013, shares of Intercontinental Exchange, Inc . ( ICE ) hit a 52-week high of $163.81. Previously, the company had reported fourth-quarter results with an earnings surprise of 5.1%. This securities exchange witnessed positive earnings surprises in three of four quarters in 2012, with an average beat of 3.4%. On Feb 6, Intercontinental Exchange reported fourth-quarter 2012 operating income of $1.84 per share, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.75 and year-ago earnings of $1.76 per share. Results reflect lower-than-expected expenses and low tax rate that helped maintain the margins and cash flow growth. In mid-March, Intercontinental Exchange announced its intention to launch four credit index futures (CDX), which will be based on the Markit CDX and Markit iTraxx indices. CDX are contracts that offer greater efficiency in credit risk management while hedging in the corporate credit market. Moreover, the acquisition of NYSE Euronext, Inc. ( NYX ) announced in Dec 2012 is expected to help Intercontinental Exchange emerge as one of the strongest players in the exchange industry, upon successful culmination in 2013. Valuation for Intercontinental Exchange looks reasonable. The shares are trading at a 4.2% premium to the peer group average and in line with the peer group average on price-to-earnings basis. Return on equity is also in line with the peer group average. The 1-year return from the stock is 16.1%, much above S&P's return of 10.9%. We believe that a high earnings visibility, strong product portfolio, consistent cash generation, disciplined investment and limited balance-sheet risk enable IntercontinentalExchange to be one of the most dynamic companies in the industry. The company is growing through strategic acquisitions, product novelty and expansion in the globally emerging markets. The overall long-term expected earnings growth rate for this stock is 11.2%. IntercontinentalExchange presently carries a Zacks Rank # 3 (Hold). Other strong performers in the financial sector include Euronet Worlwide Inc . ( EEFT ) and Moody's Corp. ( MCO ) , both of which carry a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).

IQ up the
from M.I.A. – XR2 Lyrics on Genius
Refers to how instant message services like ICQ are blamed for the youth losing their communication skills, by abbreviating and stylising words in instant messages (in more recent times, text messages). The song is about the 1990's. Instant messaging came to prominance in the late 90's.
Some older people have a view that 'the youths are getting dumber'.

U.S. Edition
It's a good thing it's not beach season, because a massive great white shark is vacationing close to the Florida coast.
A group of researchers from "OCEARCH" yanked the 35-hundred-pound, 16-foot-long shark out of the water in September, just off the coast of Cape Cod, Mass. They Nicknamed Her "Mary Lee," and she's being tracked and monitored via GPS by the research group on their website, where you can see her activity from the last 72 hours.
When OCEARCH saw how close Mary Lee came to Jacksonville Beach yesterday—just 200 yards away—they alerted the Jacksonville Beach police. Chris Fischer is the Founder of OCEARCH. He tagged Mary Lee himself, and called Jacksonville Beach Police all the way from Utah to get the warning out. Police told people to stay away. Fischer joins us live this morning with more. Fischer says he named the shark after his mother, who is eager to know if she will be having any "grand sharks".
This is absolutely amazing! What a great way to conserve the spieces! And it doesn't seem to bother them! Would love to be a part of this in some capacity.
