text: I agree that the remarks published and attributed to Carlos lacked substance and clarity. It makes me wonder what KTSM had in mind, since, in fact, with failing economies, war pending with North Korea, political unrest in Thailand, volcanoes doing great damage from Iceland to Guatemala, we don't really have any "slow news days." Obviously, something is missing from Carlos' complaints about a business that locks in its employees to force them to work overtime.

Because I have self-published a book - excuse me while I insert a link - many people now consider me an expert and have asked me for advice. That is like asking a guy who's played touch football who the New York Jets should draft in the first round. (No wisecracks, OEsheepdog!)
However, so I don't have to keep repeating myself in PMs and emails, I have decided to write about it and will break my experience down into three posts. The first will deal with the preparation and publication of the print copy, the second with the Kindle version, and the third with sales and promotion. (That last story, like a legitimate massage parlor, is the one without a happy ending. So far.)
After several false starts with book projects, I finally got serious about one during the winter. I had posted several parodies of the Presidential candidates and the issues which had been well-received, and I decided to create an entire book of them. Because I wanted half of the book to consist of new material, I wrote several pieces that I had no intention of posting on OS, including parodies of Gingrich, Obama and the libertarians. In addition, I took the pieces I had already posted here and performed a little plastic surgery: a nip and tuck here, a shot of Botox there, and in some cases, implants or liposuction. Finally, I assembled them into a single Word document, arranging the pieces into an order that made at least internal sense. (Note: a YouTube tutorial on using CreateSpace claims that your input must be PDF; this is not so.)
There was never any question about going the self-publishing route. Better writers than I have told me about their frustrations in seeking a traditional publisher; I once took a seminar about preparing a book proposal and it seemed daunting. Even if I had confidence about landing a publisher – which I didn't – the fact that the topicality of the subject had a short shelf life argued for the speed of self-publishing. (In fact, I was able to add a piece about the Rush Limbaugh-Sandra Fluke flap less than a week before the book went live.)
I gave a lot of thought to the title; I didn't want anything bland. For a while, I leaned toward a title that played off John Kennedy Toole's A Confederacy of Dunces. I decided A Confederacy of Douches was too vulgar to use, though in my book, I use it as the fictitious title of a Mike Taibbi book about the Republican convention.
My decision to use my "pen name" was a last minute one that I'm still not sure was right. My real name, Richard Brown, is listed in Amazon because I wrote the introduction to Writer Mom's book. However, enter my name and a hundred books come up, including one called How to Use Herbs, Nutrients and Yoga in Mental Health Care, which – wouldn't you know – was going to be the title of my next book. Enter "Cranky Cuss" and, for better or worse, you get only me.
I chose to publish the book through Amazon's CreateSpace. Like it or not (like it I don't), Amazon is the 800-pound gorilla of the publishing world and to ignore that seemed foolish. CreateSpace is very easy to use and doesn't cost a cent, though both of those statements come with caveats. (Because CreateSpace is print-on-demand, there is no need to pre-print or ship stacks of copies, which is why there is no upfront cost.)
After a few preliminary entries like book title and author name, as well as the assignment of an ISBN number if you don't have one, you upload your text, which takes a few minutes. When it has been successfully processed, CreateSpace will tell you about any potential printing issues and allow you to look at your "book" on-screen with "pages" through which you can leaf.
My initial upload got the Open Salon response: Oops, lots of errors occurred. The problem was that I hadn't properly formatted the original text. For starters, the margins were too close to the edge, I hadn't put in proper page breaks and I hadn't included page numbering. I had to spend the next several hours reworking the original Word document, which would have driven me insane without the help of my daughter Michelle.
The first thing we did was change the original document, which was 8 ½ x 11, to match the size of the book, which was 6 x 9; this would allow us to number the pages accurately. It also allowed us to insert blank pages into the text where necessary to ensure that title pages, acknowledgements, etc., appear on the right-hand side. We made the margins wider and inserted proper page breaks at the end of each piece.
However, numbering the pages turned out to be tricky. We decided to begin numbering from the page with the first actual text, not the title page (which needs to be included in the original document). Michelle was used to an older version of Word, and the page numbering options were confusing; it took us several tries to get it right.
We tried, and failed, to get the book title and author name on the tops of alternating pages. Word insisted on inserting them even into the blank pages. In frustration right before we gave up, I posted on Facebook that Microsoft Help was an oxymoron and found that this was a universal sentiment.
Finally, after a few hours of tinkering, we uploaded the text again. This time, I got two warnings – one about a different font I use briefly, the other about the insufficient bpi of the author photo – and thought neither was worth addressing. I was done with this phase.
At this point, your potential book must go through an Amazon approval process to ensure that it meets their standards. This can take up to 48 hours and they will notify you by email when they've completed the review. (Don't ask me what happens if they reject you!)
Here is where the caveat about "no cost" arises. It is expected that you will order a proof copy of your book, and I can't recommend highly enough that you do so. The cost of the proof varies, depending on book length, use of color, etc. Mine cost around $2.50 (this will be the same price used when the author orders finished copies of his book for personal use). CreateSpace offers several levels of shipping; I chose the speediest (and most expensive) because I was in a hurry. I should note, however, that CreateSpace overestimates the time it will take for the book to arrive; if they say 5-8 business days, it will probably be there in four.
When I received my proof, I noticed immediately that the margins were too close to the binding, making some words hard to read. It also gave me a chance to go through the text very carefully, looking for omitted words and grammatical errors; I found almost a dozen, and it wouldn't hurt to have someone else review it. (Hiring a professional editor is a separate issue.)
Correcting those errors meant I had to go through the entire process a second time, including the Amazon review. After the second proof, I was satisfied and gave the OK to publish. Within minutes, CreateSpace had a page selling the book. It took about 24 hours for the Amazon page to appear. The entire process, from initial upload to CreateSpace to finished product, took less than two weeks.
It might be gauche to talk about royalties, but that's one thing all prospective authors are concerned about. Again, it varies by book size and resources used. I set a price of $9.99 for my book. An Amazon sale nets me about $3.40 and a sale directly from CreateSpace about two dollars more. Unlike other self-publishers, CreateSpace pays royalties monthly rather than quarterly. My suspicion is that, by paying that quickly, Amazon is using its financial muscle to lure prospective authors away from the smaller self-publishing houses. If Amazon drives them out of business, let's see if they are still as author-friendly.
Next time: my experience with Kindle.
my advice would be to burn Microsoft Word. that program is a recipe for perfect disaster.
I bought "Send in the Clown Car," but I would have ordered it with the the title, "A Confederacy of Douches" as well. LOL Next on the agenda is to actually read the book. I first have to finish Mat Paust's offerings. So busy. So busy. But I'll get them read!
rated with love
A confederacy of douches sounds excellent to me.
This post is very appreciated. My sister wrote a great book- had an agent and almost published with Harper Collins. Fell through and now want to self publish cause just the process of sending it out is so stressful. Thanks for this resource, Cranky.
Vanna White!! What? :D
One thing, a lot of these sites do offer templates for Word and such which does help in page numbering, setup, etc.
And the CoverCreator over at CreateSpace is FUN!! :D

Turner leaves Pools despite solid start
19 Aug 2010 - 11:09:35
Mick Wadsworth has been placed in caretaker charge of Hartlepool United after Chris Turner resigned from his position as director of sport with immediate effect.
Turner had been in charge of the first team since December 2008 when Danny Wilson left the club.
The news comes as something of a surprise as Pools secured a shock Carling Cup victory against Sheffield United earlier this month and have drawn both of their League One fixtures.
Turner's side avoided relegation from League One last season on the final day of the campaign after having three points deducted by the Football League.

Unflappable Larry Bird: basketball star with the blue-collar work ethic
When the game gets tight, says Kevin McHale, the Boston Celtics have learned to do two things, ''play good defense and look for Larry.'' Needless to say, McHale is talking about teammate Larry Bird, a player seemingly impervious to pressure. A case in point came during a recent game with Phoenix.
After the Suns went up one with a second left, Boston called time out. Apparently convinced there was no escaping this jam, a Phoenix player chided Bird as the teams returned to the floor. Aroused, Larry told the needler he would hit the game-winning shot. And he did, too, from 25 feet out.
Last week he blitzed the New Jersey Nets with 13 points in the last 41/2 minutes. And if you want to go back two years, there's the memory that will live in Celtic history.
With Boston hanging on to a slim lead in Game 6 of the National Basketball Association championship series, Bird did the almost unthinkable, firing up a corner jumper from three-point land. But the ball swished through, breaking Houston's momentum and paving the way to the Celtics' 14th NBA title.
What constantly amazes Boston Coach Bill Fitch is that Larry still has something to show you long after other players have milked their games dry.
And it's not that Bird paces himself or picks his spots. For the consistency of his overall game sets him apart and perhaps makes him the best player in the game today.
In fact, writers who regularly cover the NBA selected Bird as the league's best player in a recent poll conducted by the Los Angeles Herald Examiner. He finished ahead of Moses Malone, Magic Johnson, Julius Erving, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

The Agency Weighs In on What...
Oxitec, Agency Clash with Critics over...
Plowing through Transcriptional Variations by Harnessing...
Getting a Sure Hold on Protein...
(Page 1 of 1)
French firm Transgene has made an equity investment in Jennerex as part of an exclusive partnership agreement to develop and commercialize the latter's clinical-stage oncolytic virus-based candidate JX-594 in Europe, the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), and the Middle East. The deal gives Transgene exclusive rights to JX-594 in the named territories, while the firms will partner development of the candidate in all other regions worldwide. Transgene will shoulder development costs and carry out clinical development in its licensed countries. Jennerex could receive up to $116 million in development and registration milestones and has an option to co-promote and profit-share JX-594 in the five major European countries.
The initial focus will be development of JX-594 for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and colorectal cancer. To this end the firms say they plan to start both a Phase IIb/III clinical trial in HCC patients and a Phase II study in colorectal cancer patients who are refractory or intolerant to Erbitux® therapy. JX-594 is also in early-stage clinical trials against melanoma, head and neck cancer, and lung cancer.
"This partnership agreement fits perfectly with our three pillar based development strategy and is an exciting addition to our pipeline of immunotherapy products," remarks Philippe Archinard, Transgene chairman and CEO. "With a time to market in Europe forecast for 2015 and a European market potential of over $1billion, JX-594 has the capacity to provide us with a very substantial return on our investment should the product meet all of its milestones."
JX-594 is a modified vaccinia virus that has been engineered to remove its thymidine kinase and armed with the GM-CSF gene to stimulate systemic antitumoral immune response in the context of product replication and lysis of the infected cancer cells, Jennerex claims. The firm says trials to date have confirmed that both intratumoral administration and systemic delivery of JX-594 induce tumor shrinkage and/or necrosis.

Season of the Rainbirds
By Nadeem Aslam
(Vintage, Paperback, 9780345802828, 208pp.)
Publication Date: March 26, 2013
Shop Local
Enter your zip code below to find indies closest to you.
From the author of Maps for Lost Lovers, which was long-listed for the Man Booker Prize, Aslam's exquisite first novel, the powerful story of a secluded Pakistani village after the murder of its corrupt and prominent judge.
Judge Anwar's murder sets the people of the village on edge. Their anxieties are compounded when a sack of letters, thought lost in a train crash nineteen years ago, suddenly reappears under mysterious circumstances. What secrets will these letters bring to light? Could the letters shed any light on Judge Anwar's murder? As Aslam traces the murder investigation over the next eleven days, he explores the impact that these two events have on the town's inhabitants—from Judge Anwar's surviving family to the journalist reporting on the delivery of the mail packet. With masterful attention to detail and beautiful scenes that set the rhythms of daily life in Pakistan, Aslam creates a lush and timeless world—played out against an ominous backdrop of religious tensions, assassinations, changing regimes, and faraway civil wars.
Nadeem Aslam is the author of three highly acclaimed novels: Season of the Rainbirds, which won a Betty Trask Award; Maps for Lost Lovers, which was a New York Times Notable Book, winner of the Kiriyama Prize, shortlisted for the IMPAC prize, and longlisted for the Booker Prize; and, most recently, The Wasted Vigil. He is also the recipient of a Lannan Literary Fellowship. Born in Pakistan, he lives in England.

"Richly atmospheric . . . engagingly introspective. . . . Aslam reveals—artfully and heartbreakingly—a psychology at war with itself." —The New York Times Book Review

Who is Mary Sue?
Mary Sue is perfect. Everyone loves her, except authority figures and meanie evil people, or people who are jealous of her good looks and wonderful singing voice.
She is also your character.
What, you say? I have no character named Mary Sue! My character is Alianala Marviliciouse Dragonnae the dragon tamer with natural purple-black hair down to her knees, funky dragon wings, and a dark past involving the death of her parents, twin sister, aunt, uncle, godfather, best friend, and pet goldfish. Yea, that's a Mary Sue.
Mary Sue is the term for a cliche perfect character, created by an author (usually a fanfiction author) or a roleplayer. They can be male or female, but more frequently the latter, hence my choice of pronouns in this article. The exact definition of a Sue is very broad, but she's usually created by the author as a sort of "placeholder" for themself, so they can pretend through their character to be part of a fantasy world. Not a bad thing in and of its self, but roleplaying with one is very frustrating.
So, why should I care?
If you just wanna have some fun casually roleplaying, go ahead and keep playing your Sues. You'll probably outgrow it eventually. But if you're getting tired of seeing people with characters who seem too powerful and too perfect, while trying to explain your own characters' powers and perfection with whatever personal excuses you can come up with, maybe its time you took a good honest look at your characters to see if they're part of the problem. Also, if you ever want to be a professional writer, you should get rid of your Sues ASAP, they'll only hinder you from getting published. Few people want to read about Little Miss Perfect (But Angsty) and the Unicorn-Dragon Adventure.
Ohnoes! This is starting to sound like me! What do I do?!
Good writing, and good roleplaying, takes practice, but the first step in improving is admitting you have a problem. So, step one to banishing Mary Sue is to be open to the possibility that your character is one. If you read this with the purpose of proving to yourself your character clearly isn't a Sue, it won't help at all.
So, what exactly is this topic? A field guide, of sorts, to four common types of Sue. I will be describing Sues of various types using the four Sue houses of Pottersues, a livejournal about Harry Potter Sues.

Celeb Clan Close-Up: Vera Wang and Her 'It-Girl' Daughter
Filed under: Celeb Kids, Celeb Parents, New In Pop Culture, Celeb News & Interviews
Designing women: Fashion designer Vera Wang has dressed oodles of A-list celebrities -- from Cate Blanchett to Jennifer Hudson -- on the red carpet. And that's not to leave out her brides [think Jennifer Lopez, Mariah Carey and Uma Thurman, just to name a few]. Or the famous figure skaters: Nancy Kerrigan, Evan Lysacek, Michelle Kwan, Sasha Coen ... this list goes on and on.
So, yeah, it was no surprise her store opening in Los Angeles this week drew Hollywood heavyweights including Renee Zellweger, Reese Witherspoon, Kara DioGuardi and Mila Kunis, who were all on hand to fete the designer.
But our fave photo from the event is this picture of Wang with her gorgeous daughter, Josephine Becker, 16.
How great would it be to have access to one of the world's most fabulous designers' wardrobes? Josephine looks cool in a gray belted dress worn with a black jacket. Of course, it's hard to compete with Mom, in an of-the-moment feathered, sleeveless blazer.
But, Josephine has some fans of her own -- The New York Post named her one of 20 "It Girls" to watch in 2010, along with other daughters of famous mothers like Lourdes Leon and Zoe Kravitz.

What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture involves inserting thin, sterile needles into the body to treat disease and promote wellness. Acupuncture is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), a system of medicine used for thousands of years. This ancient medicine treats a variety of conditions and is practiced all over the world. Acupuncture restores the body's natural balance since TCM views disease only occurs when the body is out of balance. Stress, illness, and not eating and sleeping all impact the body, unbalancing the body's energy called Qi (pronounced "Chee"). Qi is a vital substance which supports all functions of the body. The beating of your heart, food digestion, and physical energy are all supported by Qi. Acupuncture and TCM focuses on restoring health by targeting these imbalances.
To learn more about acupuncture and how it works visit the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) website at http://nccam.nih.gov/health/acupuncture
What does Acupuncture treat?
In 2003 the World Health Organization (WHO) released a report recognizing acupuncture as effective, through clinical studies and/or clinical experience, at treating over 90 different diseases, conditions and symptoms (http://apps.who.int/medicinedocs/en). This list includes many types of pain; back pain, neck pain, pain from arthritis, knee pain, and headaches. Also on this list were women's health issues such as painful periods, infertility, and morning sickness. Conditions such as fibromyalgia, depression, sports injuries, and addiction were included on this extensive list. Patients with various health problems found relief from their health issues through Acupuncture and are pleased with the results.
Why should I see an Acupuncturist and when should I go?
Although Acupuncture is effective at treating many different conditions and symptoms, you don't have to be sick to get a benefit from acupuncture. Our modern day world is full of stressors like the economy, our jobs, getting the kids to soccer practice on time; all of these stressors greatly impact our health. Promoting stress relief and an overall sense of well-being can be achieved through acupuncture. Receiving acupuncture treatments while you are experiencing pain or symptoms will help alleviate what your body is going through. Treatments are also recommended when you are not experiencing symptoms or pain. Getting treatments during this time keeps your body strong and prevents, or lessens, future bouts with these symptoms.
Will acupuncture make me feel better immediately or will it take time to feel relief?
Improvement in symptoms and pain relief are often seen within a few sessions and the desired affect of the acupuncture will build over time. There is no set time frame for how long it will take to fix a problem: each individual is different and each disease will respond differently to treatment. A chronic condition, as the name implies, has chronicity and has affected the body for a long period of time. We know it's hard to break a habit we've had for a long time and the same is true of the body which has been unwell for a long time. Getting acupuncture treatments, working at your health, and maintaining a positive attitude leads to success in treating your condition.

Le Meridien Announces Comprehensive Renovation Strategy For Middle East And Africa Portfolio
Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE: HOT) today announced a significant commitment to its Le Méridien hotels in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region through a comprehensive renovation strategy. Le Méridien and its ownership groups will invest more than $200 million in the renovations of 13 hotels and resorts in the MEA region over the next 3 years. The French-born brand has had a major presence in emerging Middle Eastern and African markets for more than 30 years, and as this region continues to evolve as an international business and leisure travel destination, Le Méridien has developed a focused approach to ensuring its global portfolio continues to meet high brand standards.
"Since acquiring Le Méridien in 2005, Starwood and its hotel ownership groups have made a tremendous effort to enhance and create a consistent portfolio around the world," said Brian Povinelli, Global Brand Leader, Le Méridien and Westin. "Le Méridien now boasts the best performance measures in the brand's history, and our focused efforts on the Middle East and Africa hotels will only help ensure Le Méridien maintains its best portfolio ever."
Le Méridien recently announced 10 new hotel openings over the next year, an unprecedented number for the brand, and as the European-rooted brand continues to grow globally, the consistency of its portfolio remains a key priority. The 13 Le Méridien hotels and resorts completing or currently undergoing renovations include:
Le Méridien Al Aqah Beach Resort (Fujairah, United Arab Emirates) |
Le Méridien Al Khobar (Saudi Arabia) |
Le Méridien Dubai |
Le Méridien Heliopolis (Cairo, Egypt) |
Le Méridien Ile Maurice (Pointe Aux Piments, Mauritius) |
Le Méridien Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) |
Le Méridien Makkah (Saudi Arabia) |
Le Méridien Mandji (Port Gentil, Gabon) |
Le Méridien Mina Seyahi (Dubai) |
Le Méridien Pyramids Hotel & Spa (Cairo, Egypt) |
Le Méridien Re-Ndama (Libreville, Gabon) |
Le Royal Méridien Abu Dhabi |
Le Royal Méridien Beach Resort & Spa (Dubai) |
Additionally, Le Méridien will this year add a new hotel in Egypt, where the brand currently operates four properties. Le Méridien Cairo Airport will open in September 2013. Located at Terminal 3, it will be the only hotel with direct access to Cairo International Airport terminals. Le Méridien Cairo Airport will feature 350 guestrooms, a 24-hour restaurant, specialty restaurant, coffee bar, lobby bar, lounge, fitness center, and swimming pool. The hotel will have approximately 750 square meters of meeting space, including a business center, ballroom, and six meeting rooms, for a variety of business functions.
Many of these renovated hotels along with Le Méridien Cairo Airport will integrate the Le Méridien Hub™ experience into existing public spaces, re-interpreting the traditional lobby into a social gathering place for curious and creative minded travelers to converse, debate, and exchange. Le Méridien Hub offers both guests and locals an inspiring atmosphere where contemporary, curated artwork sets the environment and a sophisticated café experience sets the scene. Le Méridien Hub further builds on the brand's award-winning arrival experience consisting of four elements: large-scale artwork in high impact areas to reset the mind and stimulate dialogue and curiosity; the sensory experience, illustrated through Le Méridien signature scent, sound and use of light, creating a unique and distinctive atmosphere; UNLOCK ART™ programme, featuring LM100 ™ artist designed key card collections that not only offer access to the guestroom but also to Le Méridien affiliated contemporary cultural centers in the city; and a 24-hour soundtrack.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Megan Stammers: Schoolgirl due to fly home from France
Schoolgirl Megan Stammers is expected to fly home to the UK from France later, more than a week after she went missing with her maths teacher.
It is understood the 15-year-old's mother Danielle Wilson will fly to Bordeaux to accompany her back to Eastbourne, East Sussex.
Teacher Jeremy Forrest, 30, has been arrested by French police on suspicion of child abduction.
The pair were found in Bordeaux on Friday, after a sighting on Thursday.
Megan had been reported missing by her family after she failed to turn up at Bishop Bell C of E School, in Eastbourne, on Friday 21 September.
'So relieved'It later emerged she and Mr Forrest had caught a ferry from Dover to Calais, the day before.
Following the news they had been found, Megan's stepfather Martin Stammers said: "Danielle and I are so relieved that Megan has been found safe and well. We just can't wait to be reunited with her.
The priority for British authorities in Bordeaux is to return Megan Stammers to her family as quickly as possible.
She was tearful when separated from Jeremy Forrest. British Child protection officers working with consular staff say the return will be carefully managed given her age and the immense media interest.
Mr Forrest is still in custody here in Bordeaux. Local papers say he was held at Gradignan, a local detention centre last night. He appeared briefly before a local judge at the Court of Appeal.
Local lawyer Daniel Lalanne is providing legal assistance and told reporters Mr Forrest is not opposed to being returned to the UK.
British officers say the extradition process could take several days to be completed.
"Our family are overjoyed at the outcome. As you can imagine, it's been an absolute emotional rollercoaster."
Mr Forrest is in custody in Bordeaux on a European arrest warrant, and "British police say the legal process could take several days before he is returned for formal questioning", said the BBC's Paris correspondent Christian Fraser.
In a statement read to the media, Mr Forrest's parents, Jim and Julie Forrest, said they were relieved the pair had been found, and it had been "an ordeal for all the families concerned".
Five sightingsSussex Police say Megan is now being looked after in France by child protection team officers and British consular staff.
Ch Insp Jason Tingley said officers were still working to confirm reports of where the pair had been sighted before they were found.
He said officers received a number of possible sightings of Megan and Mr Forrest in France, following extensive media coverage.
He said the operation to locate and detain the pair came after a fifth sighting, in Bordeaux, was reported.
"We were swiftly able to confirm this sighting," he said.
"A joint operation between the French Police, the Serious Organised Crime Agency and Sussex Police was commenced immediately, and as a result both Megan and Jeremy were safely located and detained in the city."
He said there had also been a number of unconfirmed reports elsewhere in Europe.

Air BC was an airline headquartered in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada.[1] It is now part of Air Canada Jazz. This regional airline primarily flew turboprop aircraft but also operated jets as well as an Air Canada Connector carrier on behalf of Air Canada via a code share feeder agreement.
Air BC was established in 1980 after the merger (by the Jim Pattison Group) of a number of west coast domestic airlines: Canadian Air Transit, Flight Operation, Gulf Air Aviation, Haida Airlines, Island Airlines, Ominecca Air, Pacific Coast Air Services and West Coast Air Services. A combined fleet emerged, including de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otters with some Twin Otters being operated as float planes. In 1983, DHC-7 Dash 7 aircraft were delivered and then in 1986 DHC-8 Dash 8-100 aircraft were acquired.
In 1987, Air Canada purchased 85% of Air BC, and Air BC became an Air Canada regional partner. Air BC entered the jet age in 1988 with British Aerospace BAe 146-200 aircraft which was the only jetliner type ever operated by the air carrier. In 1994, the airline was operating British Aerospace Jetstream 31 turboprops as part of their Air Canada Connector code share feeder services. In March 1995, Air Canada purchased the remaining shares. DHC-8 Dash 8-300 aircraft were introduced as well.
In January 2001, a newly merged carrier called Air Canada Regional Inc was established. A wholly owned subsidiary of Air Canada, this company combined the individual strengths of five regional airlines – Air BC, Air Nova, Air Ontario, Air Alliance and Canadian Regional Airlines. Consolidation of these five companies was completed in 2002 and was marked by the launch of a new name and brand - Air Canada Jazz.
Air BC served the following destinations in the fall of 1991 in Canada and the U.S. according to the Air BC - Air Canada Connector November 3, 1991 system timetable route map.[2]

How rare are boxed Star Trek - The Motion Picture toys?
Everything you believe is wrong. Run! Freak out! |
March 24 2008, 08:40 PM | #2 |
Re: How rare are boxed Star Trek - The Motion Picture toys?
If you check Ebay right now, you'll see large doll-like figures going for about 10 dollars apiece. The smaller, normal-sized action figures are cheaper. Some are selling for 5 bucks apiece, some aren't selling at all. Remember to check the price people are bidding on them for, not the asking prices. If something's not selling, then either it's priced too high or there's no demand at all (and is worth about 0). |

Re: How rare are boxed Star Trek - The Motion Picture toys?
There is a method for bleaching the male faces safely, but they must be unboxed to so so. So it's very much a case of "What's their condition" and "How much am I willing to pay?" The 12" Decker is quite hard to come by, and I've never had the chance at a good price. The Arcturian and Klingon are very cool figures, and any encroaching greyness doesn't make them look wrong. The grey-faced Kirk and Spock look... weird!

58th Annual Sausalito Art Festival Kicks Friday with "Sausalito Uncensored"
Kick off Labor Day weekend right with a jaunt across the bay to the shores of Sausalito for the 58th Annual Sausalito Art Festival and its Opening Gala ceremony this Friday.
Gifted: Art On Sale At Creativity Explored
Dropped into the opening of the annual holiday sale at Creativity Explored Friday night, and it was packed with artists and art lovers roaming the studio, plastic cups of vino in hand, perusing the many, many artworks by developmentally disabled artists for sale. It was, truly, like being let loose in a store chock-full of eye candy: paintings, prints, drawings, ceramics, sculptures, textiles, digital art, poster-size paintings of R2D2 and Batman, and 3-D paper pieces depicting American Indian life.
Creativity Explored Teams With CB2
We're very happy to see that this collaboration is still going strong! CB2 (Crate and Barrel's lower price point brand) is once again teaming up with Creativity Explored (a local nonprofit center for artists with developmental disablilities) to help bring the work of their artists and the mission of the organization to a wider audience. This time, they've developed a tote bag featuring a view of San Francisco's Victorian row houses as envisioned by Creativity Explored artist Antonio Benjamin.
CB2 and Creativity Explored Team Up for Benefit
This is an exciting pairing: the recently opened CB2 in Union Square will be hosting a benefit for Mission staple Creativity Explored this Thursday, December 11th. The event will feature six window seat chairs up for auction that have been decorated and painted by artists from the organization. Plus, 10% of all proceeds from purchases that night will go to Creativity Explored and their mission to enable adults with developmental disabilities to express themselves through art.

Scott - yes heard that. Apparently she was very shocked after the accident. Might have contributed to her very lacklustre peformance against Casey in Melb.
Ozfan - Is there anything official that Jess has retired. She may just be taking a break or recovering from an injury??
Ausboy - Im more optimistic about Peers and Rogowka than Mirkovic. Has good retrieving abilities for a tall girl but gets no advantage on her serve with her height. Plays too defensive for mine. FWIW - I don't think TA managed Jess Moore well at all. 7 coaches in 2 years hardly helps a player develop

You might recall that Conquer Online made the jump from free-to-play PC MMO to iPad action RPG last December. Today NetDragon has announced the title's first expansion, called Invasion of Pirates. Unsurprisingly the content drop features a new Pirate class. You can see a video of it in action after the break.
The class wields pistols and rapiers, and NetDragon describes the resulting gameplay as the "most fiery, action-packed combat" in Conquer Online.

John Minor '64 writes, "I graduated from law school in 1967, went to Newport, Ore. to spend a year at the beach as a deputy DA and start atoning for my misspent youth. Never got away. Joined in founding a law firm in 1969. Put in some long days. Tricked some folks into letting me be President of the Oregon City Attorneys Association and Chairman of the OSB Real Estate and Land Use Section. Still working and still married (47 years in December, four kids, 6 1/2 grand kids)."
John Carson '64 has joined the Los Angeles office of Arent Fox LLP, adding to the firm's nationally recognized intellectual property practice. Mr. Carson brings extensive experience in eCommerce, patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secret law, including licensing and litigation.
Richard "Hap" Happoldt '65, co-chair of the Class of 1965 Reunion Committee, writes, "Starting back about 1992 or '93, Bill Jaeger '65, Harry Miller '65, Bill Terheyden '65, and Barry DeVita '65 got together for lunch one afternoon. That led to other lunches every now and then, and soon the list of attendees started to grow. In the late '90s, Barry formalized a roster with about 40 names on it, and lunches were held two or three times a year. Barry (who passed away in 2013) was the key to what is today one of the largest groups from Santa Clara that meets on a quarterly basis. Since Barry passed the mantle for this group in 2004, the roster has grown to 112 classmates, including 28 of the 'First Co-eds.' Our quarterly lunches in San Francisco continue to be our own social media and are highlighted every December with our Christmas lunch, which draws up to 65 people. One great aspect of having four lunches a year is that it makes it easy to schedule at least one lunch, especially for those living out of state. We're pretty sure this group is quite special and hope it will stir other classes to start something on their own—and we'll be happy to help. Looking forward to our upcoming 50th reunion in October and hoping for some eye-popping attendance numbers!"
John U. Fry MBA '67 received a Doctor of Management from George Fox University in Newberg (Portland), Oregon, on Dec. 13, 2014.

5 Unreal!GVAmp17 | 28/12/2011 | See all GVAmp17's reviews (2)This series is not to be missed. If you're a fan of vampires, romance, action, steamy scenes or just plain ol' good ass kicking then this is the book for you! And seriously, even if you only like a couple of those things the series is well balanced so that you're never bored of one aspect. Cat (our ass-kicking lead female role in this deadly and addictive series) finds herself teaming up with a creature she's spent the last few years of her life hunting. She falls in with Bones (our vampire and assassin) who she has to side with in order to track down other vampires. There are twists and turns everywhere and I guarantee that if you like this book after reading it you'll want to read the next one "One Foot In The Grave".This series is an 8 part series so far and has even more side stories and novellas. When you read this you'll understand why that is an awesome thing! :DLet yourself be bitten by one of the best books I've come across! ;)

Thread: Round 2 for Roman

Round 2 for Roman
Roman combos are going to kill me. We feel since middle names are rarely mentioned we can go a little wild in the middle spot. I know they may not be everyone's style but that is okay. If you could give us your opinion it would be greatly appreciated!
New combos:
Roman Galahad- berries suggestion, boyfriend and I surprisingly like it!
Roman Nicholas- Nicholas is my fathers name and my Grandfathers name. On the safer side of our other choices.
Roman Ignatius- I have always loved Ignatius it is paired with another name on our list as well.
Roman Xavier- my boyfriend has always liked the name Xavier.
Roman Xerxes- on the fence with this one but love how it means hero among heroes. (another berry suggestion)

Wohooo, three of my suggestions made it! I rock ! (that was irony by the way, in case someone thinks my ego is a bit too big...)
I honestly like all of them. I think you should just nix the Xerxes one as the meaning is what appeals most to you. Probably Ignatius too, as you've got it paired up with someone else. I am going to throw my vote for Xavier or Galahad, depending on what you like most. Xavier is super sexy, a bit mysterious and sounds like someone who fences and can run very fast. Galahad is romantic and chivalrous. My cat is called Sir Galahad by the way, so obviously my heart is with this one. And she's super mischievous and cute as a thousand tiny li'l buttons.
AND... last thing. I did not mean in your previous thread that Xavier was boring or predictable or anything. It's just one of those names. Throw it after anything and it sounds great! It's like magic! It's kind of like a good red wine, it goes with anything and makes everything better.[FONT=Palatino Linotype][CENTER]My darling Marian Illyria Aphrodite, March 2013 & Little Bunny (a girl!) due 9th of February 2014[/CENTER][/FONT]

The sky was on fire. Screams echoed around me. I ran through the streets. Left, right, up the alley, trapped! I beat my wings, trying to reach a thermal. This can't be happening.
Where am I? I was in the car; we were driving home from the police station. I don't understand.
I reach up to my head. My paw comes back bloody. Where am I?
My vision starts to fade, everything is turning black. Oh no, not the ground! Not the ground!
* * *
I coughed and struggled to open my eyes. Did I crash? Where the hell-
Forcing my eyes open, I find an airbag released onto my face, popped by one of my horns. Groaning, I look around.
Dad is hanging limp in his seatbelt, bleeding out of his nose. Oh, no no no no
"Dad? Dad?!" My voice breaks.
I reach out for him, aching from the impact everywhere. I put a shaky paw on him. His chest is rising up and down slowly and irregularly, but at least he's breathing.
Thank god, Thor and Odin and the belt manufacturer and his wife and mother and his blessed grandmother. Thank his goddamn blessed grandmother. Fucking hell.
Struggling to get rid of the belt and out of the car, I resort to slicing it off with my claw. The door is slightly caved in, but a swift kick sends it flying open. Blinking, I staggered out of the smoking wreck and coughed. Trying to recall what had happened, I remembered seeing something on the road before everything went black. And something about a tree.
Turning around, I found the car smashed against a big fat oak. The engine was an unrecognizable heap of scrap. All windows but one had shattered.
Stumbling forward, I spat out a piece of something semi-solid. My whole mouth tasted of blood; I could feel it running down my face. Dragging myself towards the driver's seat I reached up and touched my head. I recoiled as my claws sunk into a large gash on my forehead. The adrenaline was slowly fading, and I could feel the pain starting to set on. Clenching my jaw, I reach out and claw the front door open. Dad is still breathing, thank god.
I reach into the car and claw at the belt to get it off. Arms poised, I catch him as he lurches forward when the belt snaps. He groans and moves his arm.
"Are you alrighth? Come on dad, talk tho me! Don't you dare!" Pushing off with my legs, I drag him out. His shirt catches on the seat, causing me to lose my footing. I stumble backwards and instinctively try to right myself with my tail. I cry out in agony as pain shoots up through it like razorblades. Looking back, the tip is bent at an odd angle about two decimeters in. I can feel it throbbing now.
Of all the god damn places to get dislocated
Growling, I pull myself up and prop dad up with my arm. He opens his eyes and spits on the ground. Relief flows through me like a wave.
"You're alive. You're alive you're alive thank god, you're alive. Come on, we got tho get away from the car. I don't want to be near that thing if something happens."
Dad coughs and gives me a confused look before spitting again and nodding.
"Alrighth, here we go. Come on." I limp back towards the road and away from the oak, dragging him with me on my shoulder. Dropping him down onto the side of the road, he props himself up against a road sign and looks at the car. I carefully sit down, minding my tail. A sharp twang of pain forces me to reconsider, and I lie down instead. The adrenaline is fading quickly now, and the pain is increasing by the second. I force myself to ignore it for now and turn to dad.
"Are you alrighth?" I asked again with worry in my voice.
He reaches up and wipes his nose with the back of his hand, smearing it with blood.
"Hurts like hell all over, but yeah, I'm fine. God damn, never argue with the driver!"
"Thorry." I hung my head a bit.
"Ugh, I'm the one who should say sorry. I wasn't looking at the road and was distracted."
He shook his head and looked back to me. "You look like shit, by the way."
I giggled hysterically. "Yeah yeah, you're just thaying that tho make me happy.
He pointed at my head. "That looks bad."
Reaching up to touch my head, I poked a claw into the gash. I grimaced from the pain. "I think I dislocated part of my thail."
Dad gave me a look and crawled over to the side where my tail was. I peered at him, wanting to see his expression. Uh-oh. By the look on his face, it's bad.
"That looks downright wrong. Did you know that your tail is bent a lot more than it should be able to?"
"Yeah, thanks. It hurths."
"You're lisping. And you're bleeding from your mouth. Open up and let me see."
I opened my jaws and stuck out my tongue. It felt weird for some reason.
Dad breathed in. "Bloody hell."
"Whaf?" I spluttered out.
He looked at my mouth with disbelief. Raising an eyebrow, he nodded at my tongue. "You're missing a bit there, on the left. Looks like you've bitten yourself pretty bad."
I snapped my jaws shut. "No way."
Dad dragged himself back to the sign and looked at the car. "At least we're alive."
He shook his head. "We should call your grandpa to pick us up. I'd rather not call for an ambulance, considering your
situation. I've had enough of explaining and people staring, pissing their pants and reaching for guns to last me a lifetime."
I looked at him. "Fine by me, but you look pretty nasthy. Are you sure you shouldn't go and just send me home?"
"Bah, a little nosebleed and some bruises. You look worse for wear, if you ask me. That tail of yours may have its perks, but it's not going to be nice getting the tip back into place. I had a dislocated shoulder once it's not fun, I'll tell you that."
"Let's cross that bridge when we get there. " I wiggled my tongue around. "I think the bleeding is thtarting to thubthide."
"Good for you."
I looked out over the road. Whatever we hit (or rather, barely missed) had to be out there somewhere. If it was an animal that we injured, we had to get word out to the local hunters that we had a suffering beast on the loose. If not, there was nothing to worry about well, sort of. That thing had been far larger than any deer or moose that I'd ever seen, so there's a good chance it might have been a bear. Bears are rare around here, and I know of at least a few people who would love to know if there was one in the neighborhood.
I rolled my shoulders. Maybe just a peek
"Hey, dad? I think I'll go check if what we hit is sthill there. Might be injured or something."
"Can you even walk? Wait, don't answer that. You did pull me out of a car wreck." He pulled out his cellphone. "Fine, but be careful and don't die in the process. I'll get someone to pick us up in the meantime. "Punching in the number to my grandpa, he turned away from me.
Pushing myself up from the ground, I wobbled a bit. Walking without a properly functioning tail was a bit of a pain (no pun intended), but I could manage. I scanned the area. Judging by the way our car hit the tree, we had veered off the road just before the bend and then ended up in the spinach after a few seconds of skidding. Whatever it was we saw probably came from the forest.
I instinctively swiveled my ears as a shot went off further up into the woods. Hunters, most likely hunting moose. It was high season, after all.
I carefully started to walk towards the bend in the road, keeping my eyes peeled on the ditches and the forest line. If it was a bear that we pissed off I'd prefer to find it before it found me if not, at least I'd be able to get the jump on whatever it was.
Sniffing the air, I caught a strangely familiar scent. It almost smelled like
me. Confused, I smelled myself. No, not quite the same.
This smell was more foresty, but with another tint to it. Older may be a good word to put on it.
Suddenly I spotted a dark shape on the edge of the road, lying on the bare-scraped asphalt.
No way
Right before my eyes lay another dragon with scales black as the darkest night. His (or hers, I wasn't really sure) entire body seemed to suck in the light around it, and project it out at points where the scales reflected the sunlight. The dragon lay perfectly still in the snow. A cold shiver ran down my spine. We had hit it with a car, after all
I sprinted forward and inspected the body. I placed a paw on the chest of the other one. A faint breath heaved the chest slowly up and down faint, but steady.
Thank god for that.
The breathing stopped.
Panicking, I grabbed the shoulders of the dragon and shook him lightly. With a wheezing cough, the eyes opened, displaying ruby red irises with slip pupils, just like mine.
"Hey! Hey, are you alright? Come on, you can't be dead please don't be dead."
With a confused look on its face, the other dragon looked straight into my eyes and tried to move its lips. I grinned widely at it.
"There we go! Come on, hold on now, don't drift away. Are you okay? Hey, dad! Come look at this!"
Blurting out something unintelligible, the other one tried to push himself up, but failed and slumped back down. Catching him, I tried to support him and keep him awake, afraid that he might not wake again if he fell blacked out. With a last look at me, he fell back into unconsciousness.
Mustering up my strength, I yelled for my father as loud as I dared. He came around the bend with a frightened look on his face, obviously thinking I had stumbled over something dangerous. At the sight of what I was almost clinging to as if it was my own life, he skidded to a halt. With a shocked face, he shook his head in disbelief and came closer.
Looking at him, I said "I think I found what we hit." Jokingly, I added "Can we keep him?"
With a tired sigh, dad said "I honestly don't understand how you get the energy to joke right now. Who the hell is that, anyway? Is he... she, it
"I don't know. He woke up for a few seconds and tried to say something, but he didn't make any sense and then he blacked out again. He's still breathing, and thank god for that." I raised an eye ridge. "I hope our lift is coming."
He nodded. "He should be here in a matter of minutes, and you're lucky he's bringing the military rover if we're hauling that home as well, I don't think we'd fit in a normal car."
Snorting, I smiled faintly. "Grandpa is full of foresight as always."
Turning back to the other dragon, I scanned his body. He looked worn and torn, with a multitude of scars and ragged spots on his wing membranes. It didn't look as if he was bleeding, but with black skin and scales it's hard to see internal bleeding and bruises. None of the major bones seemed broken at a first glance, but fractures and ribs weren't so easily discovered without patient cooperation which, to be honest, was a bit lacking at the moment.
I traced a claw over a long scar on his front leg. I shook my head. It must have been painful. The body was so battered you'd think he had fought every day of his entire life.
The roar of an engine caught my attention. From a distance, the big rover came over a hill and slid to a halt next to us. The exhaust stung in my nostrils. The driver's door flung open and my grandpa jumped out. With a surprised face, he saw the other dragon. He opened his mouth to ask a question, but I stopped him.
"We need to get him back and looked over indoors we hit him with the car. I'll answer all your questions about him later, when I know the answers."
Understanding, he nodded. "You sure know how to attract trouble. Let's get him inside." With a kick, he dislodged the lock on the back door and pulled it open. "Damn locks freeze and lock up when they're not supposed to."
With a heave, I took the injured dragon up on my shoulder, and dad jumped forward to take his other arm. Grandpa took him and pulled him into the back compartment as we pushed him up from behind. Some felt blankets were folded up in a corner that we quickly lay out on the floor to support him. Looking at my dad, I gestured at the front seat.
"You'd better take that one I'll ride in the back with him, in case he wakes up."
He hesitated for a moment, but folded and climbed in. After he closed the door, I heaved myself up into the back seat, carefully maneuvering my wounded tail into a workable position. Dragging the door closed, I looked at the unconscious heap on the floor. Shaking my head, I stuck another blanket under his head to mitigate the bumpy ride.
With a roar, the engine went into gear and we rolled homewards. I was happy we were alive, but perhaps more excited at the fact that I wasn't alone.
That was, of course, provided he survived.

I've done quite a bit of that on my '69 Guzzi Ambassador on street tires. http://goo.gl/maps/3BfM1 The Frederick Municipal Forest (commonly know as the "Frederick watershed") is a small, but fun area to ride as well. http://goo.gl/maps/PO16U Buchanan and Tuscarora State Forests, plus the numerous State Game Lands in PA have some interesting riding too. Bark Rd. and Oregon Rd. in SGL 65 are two of my favorites. http://goo.gl/maps/AW9jw Lots more to explore in that area. |
Come join us in WV.
2013 Spring Laurel Fork "Frolic in the Forest" April 19-21 Lots of easy dirt roads and awesome scenery. |
Just subscribing to catch any updates. Im in Annapolis and will be looking to get out soon when I bring my new bike home.
One of the most fun places I know of are the C&D Canal access roads, both on the north and south sides of the canal. Just a quick ride to Chesapeake City on the eastern shore.
I'm over in Edgewater, just outside Annapolis and am always up for finding more dirt, or playing in it. Chris |
