I just got my board a couple days ago and already i love how it rides. The flex of the board is quite nice also. when i ordered it i thought i was going to be a stiff board, but once i started riding it, it was smooth as butter and had a nice bounce to it and glides like a flying squirrel.I havent gone down any major hills yet but im sure it would be great. My feet are also locked in pretty good on the few smaller hills ive done. The concave on this board is nice too. I have Paris 195mm trucks and Orangatang Purple Stimulus wheels and Bones Swiss bearings. It makes it the perfect cruiser board. For a beginner this board is great. easy to turn and the tail is nice for manuals. i only weigh 150-160 so anyone around this weight would be fine, ive heard of people weighing over 200 and breaking this board so if you are bigger person id go for a different board.

Two of my daughter's friends got their periods, and she's worried because she hasn't gotten hers yet. What can I do to reassure her? - Emmeline
You can start by telling her that every girl's body has its own schedule. There's no way to know exactly when she'll get her first period, but it usually occurs about 2 to 2½ years after starting puberty. Some girls get their period by age 9, but others don't get their period until they're 15.
Puberty progresses at different rates in different people. Reassure your daughter that it's perfectly normal to get her period a little earlier or a little later than her friends. And remind her that she can always talk to you or her doctor if she has any questions about the changes she's going through.

The 400 block of N. 40th St. in University City has experienced a dramatic change in the last several years. As recently as 2009, the western side of the block was dominated by a collection of vacant lots, until a couple of apartments buildings went up a couple of years ago. Still, a huge vacant lot loomed immediately to the north. That lot is now in the process of filling in on both 40th and Wiota Streets.
When we visited this block a few days ago, there was new construction happening all the way up the northern half of the block, until the corner parcel, where there stands a church. A couple of years ago, the huge lot we mentioned above was subdivided into seven lots with four fronting 40th Street and three fronting Wiota Street. Currently, three of the four lots on 40th St. are under construction and two of the Wiota lots are getting built. It will be quadplexes on 40th St. and triplexes on Wiota. At first we thought that the vacant middle parcels might be parking access, but it seems that's not the case.
As Drexel University and the Penn continue to expand, as well as USciences and the University City Science Center, the neighborhood housing equation continues to change. We've covered numerous examples in the past of new construction and renovation pushing northward, into West Powelton and Mantua, with some blocks gaining tons of new structures in a very short period of time.
Take, for example, the 4000 block of Baring Street in West Powelton, which burst into our development consciousness in the last couple of years like an awakening. More than 30 new units have been created along this block since 2011, and most recently, we were not at all surprised to find that two triplexes and one duplex are under construction between 4042-52 Baring St. at the southeast intersection of Budd & Baring, across the street from the Elwyn Adult Program center.
Renovation activity at the Western Plaza at 30th Street Station is poised to give The Porch a new companion. But where there's been a chain link construction fence to the west of the Porch for months, there is now a temporary green wall.
"It really bothered me," said Nate Hommel, capital projects manager at University City District, about the views of construction fences offered to visitors and passersby of the Porch by current construction. "We wanted to see what we could do to give it some new life."
The folks at UCD got to work in December thinking about how to transform the site. Last week, twelve creative construction modules were installed at the Porch side of 30th Street Station along the construction fence that runs for about fifty yards. The modules are nine-foot tall planters and include shrubbery at all eye-levels. The modules also include a graphic backdrop and tiered planting wall made of backerboard. They are self-supporting, as well, not touching the construction fence.
Market Street in West Philadelphia is undergoing a facelift. That means both new towers and new tenants realized through development by major institutions. Example A: the Science Center recently announced plans to construct its first residential tower ever at 3601 Market St., and has already broken ground at 3737 Market St. on an 11-story tower with office space, retail, and new beds for Penn Presbyterian. Example B: The City recently demolished a string of mixed-use buildings near 46th & Market, right next to the El Station to make way for an development from the Enterprise Center.

Maple-Glazed Salmon
From Good Housekeeping
triple-tested at the Good Housekeeping Research Institute
This pungent glaze is packed with sweet and tangy flavors. We love it combined with the richness of salmon, but it would taste equally good on swordfish or scrod.

Scootaloo did not find it difficult to sleep in the hay at all. Nor did she have any trouble keeping herself warm at night with all these warm feathers surrounding her. However, waking up early in the morning by the loud sound of the rooster welcoming the morning sun, not to mention being randomly pecked in the face by the female residents of the chicken coop, was a bit irritating to her.
This morning was no exception. As soon as the first syllable of the "Cock-a-doodle-doo" was uttered, a yellow beak started digging into the orange filly's cheek. After a few pecks, Scootaloo finally managed to push the feathered nuisance away with her hoof.
"Cut it out," she told it with a sleepy voice as she rubbed the sore area. She stood up and brushed the little bits of hay off her coat before she did a few stretches. "Geez
you guys are so annoying. You still haven't gotten used to me?"
It had been a few weeks since Scootaloo did her overly dramatic escape from her own home and what she still sees as a traitor of a doctor. Although she had calmed down somewhat and become a little more capable of seeing this fight from his point of view, she still felt angry and sad that he would send her away, and to an orphanage for that matter. Since then, Scootaloo had been staying among the chickens every night. Here she would not have to fear being caught by anypony, perhaps except for the timid, yellow pegasus who owned it. But so far, Scootaloo had been able to hide from her as well.
Her life had become somewhat harder though, seeing as she had to be on guard every time she went somewhere in Ponyville. She had seen Dr. Heartfeld a few times, walking the streets of the village, but luckily, he never noticed her. As for food: Being such a small filly, Scootaloo would not be able to find a job anywhere; at least not a legitimate sort of job. Therefore, although she hated herself for doing it, she stole her food from the local stands in the daily town market. Her conscience was killing her, yet she thought it to be the lesser evil when compared to following that Mrs. Flowerbed or whatever that blue mare was called to the orphanage.
Scootaloo stuck her head outside of the coop and looked around the area, trying to spot any potential dangers. The coast seemed to be clear, so she got out and reached into a large haystack, from which she first pulled out her helmet, and then the actual scooter. She looked back and waved at the chickens, which did not seem to care much about her, yet she had come to like these feathered menaces through the last few weeks, even if all they did was annoy her.
Turning on her little biological engine on her back, she speeded away faster than most pegasi could fly. Her new life would not prevent her from fulfilling her duties as a student; and Copperbolt would probably not like it if she should prioritize her education any differently just because she did not have a home. She had to stay strong.
"Alright, children," Cherilee called out to the class with a smile on her face. The semi-angelic little colts and fillies sat with their hooves together in prayer, backs straight and smiles almost reaching their own eyes. Scootaloo was no exception, smiling as widely and politely as everypony, albeit a fake smile.
"If you would all just-
" the purple teacher continued, but was stopped by a raised hoof from the front seats. "Yes, Diamond Tiara. You want to say something?"
"Yes please," the filly said with her classical snobbish grin, yet a polite tone that she had probably been working on ever since she had learned of school etiquette. "I got an announcement that I'd like to make if I may?"
"Is that so?" The teacher said with a gentle smile. "Well, I'm sure we're all excited to hear. Why don't you come up here and tell us?"
"With pleasure." The pink-coated filly rose from her seat and trotted to the desk with her nose high in the air. She positioned herself next to the teacher and did a quick 180 degrees turn to face the class.
"As you all may know," she started, not attempting to hide the exaggerated and gleeful pride in her voice. "I've just gotten my amazing cutie mark a few days ago. Now, I know you all love it, and I don't blame you, since it's probably like the best cutie mark ever. That's why I'm having a little cute-ceañera to celebrate it. I'd like for as many to see how beautiful and amazing it is, so I'm going to invite all of you to come celebrate with me. Bring gifts."
With that said, Diamond Tiara's silver-maned sidekick stuck her snout into her bag, from which she brought out a bunch of sealed envelopes with her teeth. She divided these into two piles, picked one up and began dividing these among the rest of the fillies in class, soon followed by Diamond Tiara with the second pile.
When the pink filly reached Scootaloo, she reached out her hoof with the envelope in it for the orange filly to grab. Scootaloo gave her a suspicious look, seeing as she never would have thought Diamond Tiara would invite her to anything, yet politely accepted the invitation. As she grabbed the paper piece with her teeth, the pink filly gave her a devious smirk, one that made Scootaloo's suspicion the invitation increase.
"What?" the orange filly asked in reference to the smirk with a hint of irritation.
The pink filly started giggling at her. "Oh nothing, Loserloo," she said, putting emphasis on the insult. "I should just tell you it's totally fine that you come to my cute-ceañera. It's not like it'll be totally embarrassing to be a blank flank at a cutie mark party, right?"
Scootaloo narrowed her eyes as she let her gaze fall to the side and land on her bare rump. Sure enough, she was one of the few still lacking an actual cutie mark. With all that has been going on, finding her special talent had not exactly been her top priority. Though she lately found herself wishing she would have gotten her mark sooner, so a certain pony could have seen it.
"If it was up to me, I would have spared you the humiliation and not invited you," Diamond Tiara continued, raising her head so she could better look down on the orange filly. "But my mom told me I had to invite the whole class, so I guess you just have to
not show up, if you don't wanna be the laugh of the party."
Scootaloo felt the urge to kill rise, yet she kept her calm and simply ignored the rude filly's insulting words. She looked at the envelope before her, studying it thoroughly as Diamond Tiara walked back to her seat with an annoying giggle.
Although Cherilee officially started the class, Scootaloo did not look up from the invitation. She was wondering exactly what to do with it: Whether to burn it, soak it so the ink runs, or just tear it to pieces. But even so, she remembered how she had promised her mother that she would become more social. Even if it was Diamond Tiara's, a party is still a party, and it would be a social event where she would have plenty of chances to meet new ponies. She sighed and looked back at her flank with worry about the party's possible results. If she would go to the cute-ceañera, she would have to be one of the few without a cutie mark. Diamond Tiara would definitely try and bully her with it, so she would have to take a lot with a straight face if she went. Still, she had to try. She would never keep her promise with Copperbolt if she simply stayed home. Besides, should the worst come to happen and the party becomes awful, she could probably just hide under a table until it ended.

With the opening four rounds of the 2010 Formula One season all flyaway races, it has been well over five weeks since the teams cars have been on home soil. Life on the road may sound glamorous, but without the home comforts of the factory it's a challenge for teams to keep their cars in tip-top shape. Renault explain the measures they take to ensure their R30s remain fit for action...
The first thing to mention is the reliance on air freight to ferry various car components around the globe. While it's true that the actual chassis haven't been back to the teams UK factory at Enstone, a fair amount of the R30's components have been making regular trips back. In fact, over a tonne of air freight was shipped back to Enstone from Sepang last week, packed full of bodywork and suspension components in need of servicing.
"All the key parts on the car have a design life and a service life," explains Renault technical director, James Allison. "When a component reaches its service life, it has to come off the car and return to the factory for assessment, and if that means shipping it to the other side of the world, then that's what has to be done. That's the case, for example, with our carbon suspension components, which need proof testing after each Grand Prix so that we can locate any potential weaknesses."
Having to send so much freight back to the factory is a major logistical challenge and often requires members of the team to carry parts back as hand luggage on commercial flights. That was the only way to meet the deadlines imposed by the back-to-back races in Australia and Malaysia with less than a week to get parts back to Enstone, serviced and out to Sepang.
Proof testing of components doesn't just happen at Enstone, though. At each race there's a travelling non-destructive testing expert on hand to keep an eye on critical components. "We can check a lot of the composite materials using ultrasound to locate any weaknesses," explains Renault chief engineer Alan Permane. "If we are running a new front wing then we'll use this technique to scan certain points on the wing for stress fractures. We will inspect the wing after the installation lap and then after each run to make sure everything is performing as it should."
Reacting to unexpected curve balls is also important, as the team discovered in Melbourne when the roll hoop on Vitaly Petrov's car was damaged when the car was returned to the pits on the back of a truck. At times like these it's only the resources of the factory that can come to the rescue: the design team in Enstone produced a bespoke repair kit that was sent out to Sepang ready to be fitted to the car. Without such reactivity it would have been a struggle for the race team to fix the car on-site.
While most of the cars' components have been serviced or replaced, there's little that can be done to preserve the cosmetic appearance of the cars during flyaway races. Repainting is a luxury that has to be put on the back-burner and both R30s will be carrying a few battle scars into this weekend's Chinese Grand Prix. There's nothing major, just the odd chip to the paintwork here and there. The cars will get a fresh coat of paint when they arrive back at the factory next week so that they're in pristine condition for the start of the European season.

5 This man has real magical powersjerseylizzy | 01/08/2011 | See all jerseylizzy's reviews (1)I'm watching the series on telly at the moment and I just can't begin to try and work out how he does his magic, and my only conclusion is that he has magic powers, he can read peoples minds and he can teleport over distances. My brain hurts trying to work out how he is doing all his tricks and quite frankly I really don't want to know. I would love to see him perform live, although he may freak me out more. He is such an ordinary nice bloke with an extra ordinary skill/gift and I wish him all the joy and happines and recognition he deserves.
5 This Man Is Amazing!!hannahp13 | 19/10/2011 | See all hannahp13's reviews (27)Have watched the series on tv and just bought the dvd, i would recommend this to anybody!! im not a big fan of the cheesy obvious magic but he is something completly new!!

5 Mind BlowingScunnyFan1 | 12/12/2011 | See all ScunnyFan1's reviews (8)This guy is unbelieveable!! I watched the series on TV and he amazes me how he does his tricks. I thought David Blaine was amazing but Dynamo does tricks that seem impossible and will become one of the greatest magicians of all time. If you haven't seen the show on telly then I thoroughly recommend that you buy this DVD because you have no idea what you will miss out on if you don't get it.
5 Fantastic!!macky1 | 18/11/2011 | See all macky1's reviews (1)This DVD is excellent and can't wait for another DVD to come out!!
5 Amazing DynamoJohnKaren | 11/11/2011 | See all JohnKaren's reviews (1)After seeing this I can only conclude that thi man has got real special powers and can read people's minds by looking into their eyes. If it is a "trick" I can't see how. Everything he does is amazing. Highly recommend it to anyone.

Beijing: China's property prices may fall in the next 12 to 18 months as banks curb loans to real estate companies, which may slow development, Hong Kong billionaire developer Vincent Lo said.

Tighter loans to hit Shanghai property prices
Billionaire developer Vincent Lo says the Chinese government is pushing banks to hold back lending to developers
- Image Credit: EPA
- Nanjing Road, the premier commercial street in Shanghai, is packed with shoppers. China has expanded its property control measures this year, raising down-payment requirements and mortgage rates to ease gains in home prices.
The government is pushing banks to hold back lending to property firms as it attempts to cool the housing market, said Lo, chairman of Shui On Land Ltd. The developer received a Chinese bank's approval for a loan, which was withdrawn as the lender had a policy change, he said.
"We believe maybe the market is going to go through a tough time for another 12 to 18 months, and then I think it's a good time to go and buy something" when prices are lower, said Lo, who's known as "Mr Shanghai" after transforming century-old homes into a pub and entertainment project in the city's Xintiandi district.
Easing gains
China has expanded its property control measures this year, raising down-payment requirements and mortgage rates to ease gains in home prices. The government said in July it will rein in prices in smaller cities after limiting home purchases in markets such as Beijing and Shanghai.
The Shanghai-based developer has found a foreign bank for the loan for one of its projects in China, Lo said, declining to identify the development or the bank. Such cancellations are "happening quite frequently" to other real estate developers in the country, he added, referring to the Chinese lender which withdrew the loan it had approved for the company.
"For local developers, I think they would be going through a tough time right now," Lo said. "That would bring the price down."
Chinese regulators have told banks to tighten lending for real estate on concern credit risks will increase as the impact of government curbs deepens in the next three to five months, a person familiar with the matter said last month.
The property tycoon said he remains bullish on China's residential and commercial property markets in the long term with more citizens moving into cities, creating demand for homes, shops and office buildings. "Right now, the commercial properties, if it is in a good location, good design, it will do very well," Lo said.
Shui On said in June it will spend about 8 billion yuan (Dh4.6 billion) to develop an office and restaurant precinct under its Xintiandi brand near Shanghai's smaller airport and high-speed rail station.
Xintiandi, which means New Heaven and Earth in Chinese, is a residential and commercial complex built through the redevelopment of houses dating back to the 19th and 20th centuries located in downtown Shanghai. The project attracted local and international retailers and restaurants, including Paulaner Brauhaus and Starbucks.

Internships & Experience
Tennessee Wesleyan College places high value on experiential learning – opportunities for students to apply their studies to outside organizations, making a more significant contribution.
Our students fully engage in internships in all fields, including business and finance, communications, religion, government, education, healthcare, sales, social services and the sciences. By instituting a TWC experiential learning program, employers:
- Meet immediate staffing needs for short-term projects

Internship wages and hours vary based on the needs of the employer and student. However, a for-credit academic internship commitment is typically 10-20 hours weekly (during the school year) or full-time (during the summer). Internship wages are determined in advance at the discretion of the employer.
The Career Development Center makes recruiting for internships seamless, including on-campus interview opportunities, career and internship fairs, and online job postings.

When you go to church you do not usually bring your pets, but today dozens of pet owners brought their furry friends to church for a blessing.
What better gift to give these furry animals than a blessing from above. People stood in line with their pets, as Father Tom of Saint John's Episcopal Church prayed over each.
Anne Bunting is a local resident and member of Saint Johns. She said, "I wanted to bring my animal. It doesn't come to church on Sunday's."
Bunting made sure her dog Dusty was prayed over. Dogs and cats were not the only animals to take part. Kassiani Harris's hermit crabs were blessed and she won a prize for her most unusual pet.
Thank Saint Francis of Assissi for Saturday's pet blessing. According to some believers, he is the patron saint of animals. Church leaders said he had a special connection with them. He would even preach to them.
"I feel like they are a blessing to me they bring me so much love joy and happiness, so I wanted to have them blessed because they are god's creatures too," said Natalie Mozey, a pet owner.
The New Hanover County Humane Society and Carolina Canines were also there to accept donations.

TURNER, Ore. — Oregon state police is continuing its investigation into a three-vehicle traffic crash, Monday.
OSP says the crash occurred around 3:30 p.m. along Enchanted Way near the entrance of the Enchanted Forest Theme Park.
A 2001 Mitsubishi Montero sport utility vehicle driven by Gerald R. Luttrell, 50, of Salem, was traveling southbound from Enchanted Way. The Mitsubishi began to turn left toward an entrance to an RV Park when it pulled into the path of 1994 Toyota pickup. Both vehicles collided and the Mitsubishi rolled onto its top. A 2013 ford explorer was stopped in the entrance of the RV Park and hit.
Luttrell was seriously injured and transported by Lifeflight to the Salem Hospital. Alcohol is being investigated as a contributing factor for Luttrell. No other persons were injured in the crash.
OSP is continuing its investigation into the crash.

This week Middlesex Commonwealth's Attorney Mike Hurd said he intends to Nolle Prosequi (not prosecute) the remaining charges involving alleged sexual offenses on a minor and the charge of attempted murder.

I'm not the least surprised by this, and I don't know many serious programmers who will be. Programmers and computer scientists have been raising a stink about electronic voting machines for several years, but it's been difficult to explain to non-programmers the full extent of the danger. It's nice to have a video that shows the complete cycle: how the machine can be subverted, how it can steal votes, and how the rogue software can cover its tracks. (The one thing about the video that did surprise me, by the way, was how quickly and easily the physical act of subverting the machine can be accomplished.)
Beyond this one example, though, are more dangers. I don't believe that any such machine — any machine without a voter-verifiable paper trail — could be sufficiently secure for the purpose, even in principle. And that's not just a hunch. I have good reasons for believing that it's not possible to make such a machine secure enough to be entrusted with our votes.
The paper that's available on the page with the video describes in detail the research that was performed, and the findings. It unavoidably contains some technical jargon, from the fields of software and security. Overall, though, it's quite accessible, and I don't think you need to be either a computer or a security expert to understand the issues. There's also an executive summary that hits all the highlights.
Two years ago, when I went to vote, I was not amused to find myself having to vote on one of these very machines. In light of that, though, I most definitely was amused by the "My Vote Counted" sticker I was given as I left, and I felt compelled to augment the sticker's message. I'll probably have to vote on the same machines again in a couple months. But I hope we'll turn toward more secure, reliable equipment for future elections.

I am (finally) getting ready for a relaxing vacation to middle-of-nowhere Montana, and this will be my first trip since I started carrying. I've done my homework and thread searches and all, but I have one more question.
Is ANY restaurant or convenience store off limits if they sell alcohol for consumption on the premises? I'm thinking specifically of the differences between, say, the grocery store, a family restaurant that serves beer, and Happy's Inn which sells beer and also has a bar in the back. From my understanding it sounds like the grocery store is ok, the restaurant is not ok, and Happy's is a definite no. Correct?
I will be purchasing Gary Marbut's Gun Laws of Montana when the 2009 edition comes out.

Perfect for our 2nd season snowboarder
By Parent of 8 year old snowboarder
from Richmond, VA
About Me Beginner
Comments about Burton Chopper Star Wars Snowboard - Boy's 2014:
We bought this for our 8 year old and he used it for 3 days of snowboarding in West Virginia this past week. It is his second season of snowboarding. The board is much lighter weight and more flexible than the board he used last year. He is 8 years old and small...about 49 inches tall and 50 lbs. We purchased the 100 cm board. The board was exactly what we were looking for and we are all (the kid and the parents) very satisfied. (note that the star wars picture varies according to the size board you get -- we were aware of this before purchase and got exactly what we were expecting, but it appears that some of the other reviewers were not)
Great Snowboard, Great Service!

Great board. Only issue is that you need certain Bindings to fog the board. You can't just buy any 4 screw pattern bindings. I got the Grom Youth bindings and they fit perfectly.
Great Deal, hard to find!!!

This was perfect for my 8 year old. He's going to love it!

How to Know Your Book's Audience
Blogger: Janet Kobobel Grant
Sometimes a book idea is born out of awareness of your reader's need that you can meet. The audience is probably a lot like you, or your platform is developed around these folks.
But often, when I look at wannabe clients' proposals, the writer can't describe the intended audience. Or sees the audience as so broad as to be indescribable. Every writer needs to envision who the reader is to know how to connect the book to the reader in the most effective way.
That thought was brought home to me this week, as I was listening to a classical music station, and the radio host was reading from Mozart's journal about the day Mozart attended a concert in the local park. It being a lovely spring day, he couldn't resist enjoying some great music–especially since he was the composer of the symphony being performed.
I perked up my ears when Mozart recounted the experience of listening to the performance. He had predicted to himself the movement in the piece that would so sweep the listeners away into rapture that they would burst into spontaneous applause. That applause erupted at just the moment he thought it would.
What struck me about the journal entry was how well Mozart knew his audience. He could predict their emotional peak. That set my imagination reeling through visions of Mozart writing the symphony; when he jotted down those notes, I suspect he envisioned the response they would elicit.
Then my mind turned to writers. I wondered which ones are so attune to their readers that, as the writer taps out words, a smile comes to his or her lips as a segment of the book with emotional strength unfurls.
I'm talking about both fiction and nonfiction here because I believe, if a writer can emotionally connect with readers, that writer will be successful.
Even if you're unpublished, you still need to have a reader in mind: a child curled up in a parent's lap while the parent reads your picture book; a teen boy lounging on his bedroom floor as he enters into the adventure you've created for him; the man who longs to be freed from porn but can't find his way out of that prison until he reads your book.
Sometimes we write our books not so much for the reader as for ourselves. A fiction idea occurs to you that makes you want to find out what happens next. Or you have a need yourself so you start to write a nonfiction book to discover the answer. Or you experience a heart-rending event and find God in the eye of the hurricane. Now you want to tell others about your story.
So who is your audience?
If you don't really know, or if you think you know, but you aren't sure, here are some ways you can find out:
1. Use SurveyMonkey to put together a questionnaire in which you ask subscribers to your enewsletter or your blog: their age, their sex, how they found out about you (or your books), what they enjoy reading, how often they read books, what they enjoy about your blog or newsletter, what they like best about the material you provide, how they would describe you or your writing (which helps you to understand your brand and whether your readers agree with you about what your brand is). If you're writing in more than one category and think you need to choose between them, ask what your readers prefer. Whatever you wonder about your readers and how they perceive you or your writing, put it in the survey. Offer a little gift for one or a few winners to receive, if they fill out the survey. (A Starbuck's card or a free book.)
2. Take an informal survey on the social media outlet you have the most connections to readers, such as Facebook or Twitter. With Twitter, create a link to the survey. On Facebook, you could ask one survey question every other day;you will have to skip such questions as age, sex, etc., but you certainly can ask what they like to read, how often they read a book, if they like your historical novels or your nonfiction. Getting a conversation going on Facebook can bring in more responses than asking people to fill out an entire survey, but you're likely to gather less data.
3. Don't assume you know. Let your readers tell you who they are. Keep an open mind; they might surprise you.
What methods have you used to get to know your audience? In what ways have you asked them how they perceive your brand? Do you really know your audience, or do you assume you know them?

Great advice, Janet. One place I've enjoyed hearing from readers is in the "Shared Notes and Highlights" section from the ebook. It's interesting to see the passages that get highlighted. Gives me some insight on what parts of the book readers find compelling. Surprisingly enough, it seems to be the spiritual content of my historical romances that gets marked. I wouldn't have predicted that.
Thank you, Janet. When I'm writing, if a word comes into my head that brings tears to my eyes, I feel like it will touch the reader, as well. With my nonfiction … I had to find a different way to view hardships … a way to cope … and always believed if "I" needed it, others might, too. In my new work, for middle grade … I only know my audience through my girls. But I need to find a way to branch out there, too.
Are you wearing green today?! Grin. Or Pinch!
Blessed by you,
Wow, completely forgot about St. Patty's Day this year! I guess that comes from being a stay-at-home mom for the first time ever. Thanks for the reminder!
Jennifer … being a stay-at-home mom was the best thing I ever did. Enjoy those little ones!
This is good, Janet. I know the audience I THINK I'm targeting. But I've wondered if that's the audience I'm actually reaching. I really like the idea of doing a survey. I've never thought to do that. I'll probably start this on Facebook, and eventually do this on my blog.
And, similar to what Shelli said, if I shed tears while writing, I'm hoping that scene will also touch readers similarly. Thanks for sharing these insights!
Thanks for your ideas, Janet. Some of your ideas in the comments have been helpful, too. I've also found that if I find myself in tears while writing a passage, there are usually others who react the same way.
Hmmm…when I imagine my audience I picture my AWANA girls or some of our girl counselors (we live and work at a Bible camp) or I try to picture what my oldest son will be like when he is 14 and imagine how he would react to a passage. I write YA so I have a little time, but I love to hope that I'll be published by the time my boys grow up into the age group I write for. Good dreams and actually a good exercise because I read with the boys so much I know their likes and dislikes…just have to grow them up a bit in my head. Only time will tell how their reading habits change.
I'm not published yet, so my fiction audience is imaginary. I kind of have a certain woman in mind that represents future readers. Not an actual person, but a composite I've imagined up. If my imagined reader is someone I actually know, then I start tripping up, worried about what they'll read into things. So I've made one up
Maybe I should start thinking more broadly! I have an age range in mind, but I haven't done any research. I'll check out Good reads and see who is reading books similar to mine, and check out the blogs of writers that write books like mine, and see what kind of readers they have. I could survey my blog readers, since I hope lots of them will be fiction readers as well. Any more ideas, anyone?
Thanks for this post!
I use movies – I try to fit what I write into a particular demographic, which is more easily identifiable by film preferences, and then try to incorporate elements that strike a similar emotional resonance. It's easier than it sounds.
Surveys don't interest me too much, since the results are really subjective – it depends so much on the use of social media and the willingness to even answer a survey that they can't give more than an indication.
It's so important to remain aware of the needs of the core readers group – two authors who didn't do this come to mind: Marjorie Rawlings and Tom Clancy.
Rawlings was beloved for her portrayal of Florida crackers, in a time when the South was 'cool' because of GWTW. When she switched to Michigan's rural poor, her readers didn't follow.
Tom Clancy's early books were (relatively) fast-paced stories of action, with enough technical detail and jargon thrown in to make the reader feel like an insider. Later he turned to more cerebral, political stories, and the readers were shut out…and a lot of them left.
Wow, I never knew that about Rawlings, and I'd never thought of Southern settings as moving in and out of fashion. It makes sense that a blockbuster like GWTW would have had a ripple effect. Interesting!
Praying that 1920s Chicago settings come into fashion, and soon!
Great blog (as usual), Janet. I found it challenging in a good way. I always preach Know Thy Audience to my writing students and to the members of my critique group, but your question, "Do you really know your audience, or do you assume you know them" made me sit up. I have to say honestly that I assume I know them. That means, I need to find out if I'm right or wrong. I believe I'm writing for older YA readers, but I need to get Beta readers from that group. I read YA fiction (particularly fantasy) and I have read and read and read, as well as taken workshops, on writing for a YA audience. Recently, I had my plot and characters critiqued by an agent who represents YA fantasy and she I had a winning storyline as well as a good protagonist. That was encouraging, but the bottomline is that the only people who've read my WIP have been adults. One member of my critique group has offered to have her teenage son read the book, but I feel it is really targeted for a female audience. I asked my critique partner if she would ask her son to get some female friends to read it as well. I'm waiting to hear back about that. I think that's going to be the litmus test.
I loved the Mozart example, especially since he's my second-favorite composer (Bach is number one). How fascinating to hear excerpts from Mozart's diary! Is it available as a book?
Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!
Thanks for these ideas! I love the Mozart story. When I wrote plays, I'd wait eagerly for the audience to laugh in the right places. When they did, it was very gratifying. When they didn't, I knew there was still more work to be done, either in the writing or the delivery.
I'm reminded of the movie "Funny Farm," where the main character moves to the country to write his novel. He asks his wife to read the manuscript, then pulls his chair up close to scrutinize her every facial expression as she reads. Funny!
Janet, I just took some time this weekend to complete a survey for an unpublished author who I found through her blog. Her nonfiction book is complete and, out of all the editors who have seen it, only one "got" her idea. I was more than happy to answer her questions because I am desperate for her book! Her questions were quite detailed and well thought-out. Even the way she worded them demonstrated her intimate knowledge of her audience. She has an agent (I don't know who), but I don't know if the agent would have brainstormed the questions with her. I'm guessing so? She also is giving away a certain number of gift cards to those who participate. As I concluded the survey, I thought it a brilliant way to convey to readers how much she values them. My opinion matters to her.
I haven't done a survey that detailed, just random questions on Facebook about reading preferences. (And I write fiction, so that seems to make a difference.) But it was an excellent example and got my wheels a-turning.
I sent my MS to my crit partner and was pleasantly surprised when she said a certain sent gave her the chills. I was aiming for a "whoa…" moment, but the chills? Yeah.Baby.
I aim my work at the reader who wants to get more out of a book than tea and giggles. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it's not my goal.
I need to find my readers, focus in on them, and say hello.
Thank you for this, Janet.
Caveat: I write general market romance.
My target readers are readers like me, hungry for his POV in a romance and heroes who are noble and will fight for her. We're everywhere, but nobody seems to believe we exist in sufficient numbers to try and grab. Though it is much easier to pull this off in the general market than CBA, thanks to paranormal romance.
Enter digital small presses! They see this market, and they're fighting to reach it. The explosion of m/m romance in digital small press is, I believe, a backlash against the heroine-centric romance where he's an afterthought.
I'm late to the party today, but I am so glad I came. Wow! This post really got me thinking. It's not that I don't consider my audience when I write; it's that maybe I surround myself with too many kids who enjoy my writing because I am someone's mom or a person from their church. There are only so many people you can attract that way.
I love the survey idea. The gears are moving right now on how I can use it.
Janet, I think I had a breakthrough last week. Since I'm writing a memoir now, I decided to change up my blog postings to more of a life story format. I gained quite a few followers, especially men. I have been mystified as to why more men like and follow my blog than women. Well, last week, one of my LinkedIn connections,a pleasant pastor, emailed to say he enjoyed my post. He said that working in ministry can be tough sometimes and we all need to encourage and support one another. Bless him! The light bulb came on. I checked and, sure enough, many of my male followers are pastors or servant leaders in some capacity in ministry. Then, I realized the women who follow and like my writing are also serving in ministry. Duh! What have I been doing for the last 17 years? Ministry leadership. I know what I need to do next. Find out where ministers hang out, stand in front of them and encourage them. So, I'm psyched and I'm on it.
When someone reads my work out loud at our critique meetings, the biggest laughs seldom occur when I expect them: people don't laugh at my best lines and do laugh at things I think are only somewhat humorous.
Fortunately, I usually do click with them on most of my serious parts. So I guess I know my audience best when it comes to somber but not silly. (Or it means my sense of humor is a bit skewed!)
Hi everyone-
While I am newer to the writing scene, I do have an independently-hosted blog (i.e., a website as opposed to a WordPress or other site). For those who are not yet publishing on a regular basis, I highly recommend creating your own webpage. I have been amazed at the audience information that Google Analytics gathers for me from visitors, and surprised to find that I had more male readers than female! (Hmmm…! As Wendy's blog post here mentioned this week, setting up yout own blog or author page is a good pre-pub, downtime activity, and even while it's still being perfected, as mine is, you are receiving valuable demographic info about your readers. It's a lot of work, but makes discerning your audience a little easier in the end. -
Thank you. Good advice. I like the idea of actually picturing my readers slouched around with my book. Why didn't I think of that? LOL
