The Basics for Being a Successful Author—Craft Tuesday at Write on the River
Write a lot
Before writing a lot, be a voracious reader
I also am a big fan of watching a lot of movies and TV specials and series. There are writers who dismiss the television, but there are great writers putting out excellent product in that medium. And we all can learn from any artistic medium. Studying a different medium can also allow you to see new ways of looking at your writing
Learn the proper way to do business things in the world of publishing such as having a strategic plan for your career, which is covered under my Write It Forward program and book
Why should you read this rather than one of the many others books and blogs and articles about writing? I suggest that you read this in addition to those other works. However, the advantage of this is that I began writing this shortly after my first novel was accepted for publication in 1990 and have been adding to and modifying it ever since as we move past the midway point of the second decade of the 21st Century. Thus this book presents a spectrum of my experience, not just my current experience.
In here you will find me writing in present tense about things that in real time happened years ago, but I've kept many of those passages because they offer insight from varying levels of my writing experience and thus give other writers at various levels more opportunities to connect their experiences with mine. I've learned more about writing in the past couple of years than in my first two decades because I've been more open to change.
If I wanted to be an architect I should not be satisfied that I only had grand visions of what the design for my buildings should be. Nor would anyone be impressed with my visions if I couldn't put them into the proper format. Nor would anyone be interested if my design was so impractical that it couldn't be built. I would have to learn the craft of design and also the business of building and then apply my vision to that. I would also need to understand how the people who actually construct the building operate, and interact with them in a professional and knowledgeable manner. And, perhaps most importantly and most often forgotten, I would not have any success if no one wanted to buy my designs.
Remember something about the art of writing: It is the only art form that is not sensual. You can see the colors and strokes that make a painting, feel a sculpture, and hear music. The manner in which each individual piece in those fields impacts on the senses is different. But every writer uses the same letters on a piece of paper. You have twenty-six letters that combine to form words, which are the building blocks of your sentences and paragraphs. Everyone has the same words, and when I write that word and you write it, that word goes into the senses of the reader in the same way. It's how we weave them together that impact the conscious and subconscious mind of the reader that makes all the difference in the world.
A story comes alive in the reader's mind. You use the sole medium of the word to get the story from your mind to the reader's. It is the wonder of writing to create something out of nothing. Every story started with just an idea in someone's head. Isn't that a fantastic concept?
In essence, writing is no different from any other profession. It's a simple rule, but one that every one wants to ignore: the more you write, the better you will become. Practically every author I've ever talked to, or listened to, or read about in an interview, says the same thing. I saw Stephen King on C-Span and he said the most important thing to do to become an author is to write a lot. One writing professor said you needed to write a million words before expecting to get published. I'm currently around word ten million and still learning so much.
Let's look at the positive side: The odds are strongly against getting traditionally published or succeeding immediately with indie publishing. But simply by taking the time and the effort to learn from these words, you are increasing your odds. By continuing to write beyond your first manuscript, you vastly increase your odds. Many writers gush over the amount of money John Grisham made for The Firm but they forget that A Time To Kill was published previously to lackluster sales and failed. What is important to note about that was that Grisham realized he hadn't done something right and worked hard to change. Note that Grisham did not bemoan what his agent/editor/publisher etc. didn't do to help the novel. He didn't complain that the reading public didn't understand his brilliance. He worked on the one person he knew he could change: himself (a tenet of Write It Forward).
From talking with other published writers, I have found it is common that somewhere between manuscript numbers three and six, comes the breakthrough. How many people are willing to do that much work? Not many, which is why not many succeed. But it is how you can vastly increases your chances of beating the odds. Publishers do not want to make a one-time investment in a writer; nor do readers. When a publisher puts out a book, they are backing that writer's name and normally want to have more than one book in the pipeline. Multiple book contracts are very common; with their inherent advantages and disadvantages. As soon as you type THE END on your first manuscript (and I mean THE END after numerous rewrites), the first thing you must do is begin writing your second.
Publishing has changed drastically and there are new opportunities for writers to get their novels into the hands of their readers. Traditional publishing isn't the only viable option for the 21st century author. Self-publishing is quickly becoming the new medium for mid-list authors, and new authors. Amanda Hocking self-published her way into a two-million dollar contract with St. Martins Press. Myself, Connie Brockway, Barry Eisler, LJ Sellers and JA Konrath have all either written ourselves out of NY contracts or turned down a NY contract and ventured out on our own and have been successful.
The key to our success is two-fold.
- Write the better book; then the next and the next and the next
- Become part of Write It Forward
I discuss what I would do regarding self-publishing for a new writer in Write It Forward, but suffice it to say, I believe you should have at least three manuscripts under your belt before venturing out there; not much different than getting traditionally published.
As someone who wants to be in the entertainment business, you have to study those who have succeeded and failed in that business. Read interviews with people in the arts and entertainment industries and you will find a common theme: a lot of years of sweat equity put in before the big "break" came. I've read of and heard actors and comedians talk about spending decades working in the trenches before they became famous. Musicians who sang backup for years before becoming lead. Painters who toiled in squalor (and often died) before their work was recognized.
Study the lives of writers. Read interviews with authors and see what they say. Go to conferences and talk to them. Listen to them talk about several things: how they became authors, how they live, how they feel about writing, how they write. Many worked very strange jobs before getting published. Almost all struggled and spent many years of suffering before they succeeded. I say suffering in terms of financial or career terms, not in terms of the writing itself. Most writers enjoy writing.
People seem to think that writers are different and, while in some highly publicized cases they are, most published writers have spent many years slugging away before their first novel was published.
Simple perseverance counts for a lot. I think many people with talent lack the drive and fall out of the picture and people with maybe not as much talent but more drive take their place. It's the difference between having a growth mindset and a fixed mindset. People with talent often believe they know all they ever need to know, therefore their mind is fixed. Those who believe there is always something more to learn, have a growth mindset.
Let's get back to where I talked about people in other professions doing a work practicum. Besides writing novels and reading, the other advice I would give would be to attend conferences and workshops. It is a worthwhile investment of your time and money to go to workshops and conferences. Not just to learn, but also to network. Because of that, the first Write It Forward book my publishing company released is How To Get The Most Out Of Your Time And Money At A Writer's Conference.
A college student once interviewed me and she asked me what she could do to become a better writer. I replied with my usual "Write a lot," then thought for a second, looking at this nineteen year old woman. Then I said: "Live a lot. Experience life, because that is what you are eventually going to be writing about."
Think about the lifestyle of an author, the lifestyle you are hoping to achieve. Most people want the end result: a published novel in the bookstore or online, but they don't pay much attention to the life that produces that end result. A writer's life is one of paradoxes. You have to be interested in people, yet you work in one of the loneliest jobs there is and you are probably an introvert (extroverts rarely can sit alone long enough to produce 100,000 words). You need inspiration and passion, yet also possess the self-discipline to trudge through writing 400 pages of a manuscript. In other words you have to have a split personality and be slightly nuts. So you will need therapy and lots of it.
Are you willing to persevere?

Common Traits of the Successful Author—Craft Tuesday at Write on the River
It's not normal to sit alone and write 100,000 words. So let's get that out of the way. You aren't normal. You aren't in the bell curve and you aren't necessarily on the good side of the curve. You're cursed. You write because you have to. You will have to go to therapy. Sorry. That's the reality of being a writer.
If you desire to write a novel because you want to have a bestseller and make a bundle of money, my advice is to play the lottery; it will take much less time and your odds will be about the same, if not better, and I can guarantee that the work involved will be much less. The publishing business makes little sense and it's changing faster than ever before; the "gold rush" of the self-published eBook is long past. However, I do believe that the more you know, the greater your chances of success. The vast majority of writers are flailing away at the craft and the business blindly. Armed with knowledge, you greatly increase your ability to rise above the rest.
This book is focused on the craft of writing. I cover how to be a successful author, selling your book and the business of writing in my companion book Write It Forward. I believe it's important to have two separate books, because too often writers put the cart before the horse: business before craft. The first thing you must do as a writer is create a great book.
You write for you. You write because you have a story in you that has to come out. This is the core of the art of writing. Pearl Buck said:
"The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: a human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive. To him a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise, a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy, a friend is a lover, a lover is a god, and failure is death. Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create—so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, his very breath is cut off from him. He must create, must pour out his creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency, he is not really alive unless he is creating."
I believe that passion which fuels long-term perseverance to be the single most important factor. I also believe that too much discussion on the topic of creativity can actually stifle the drive in some people. They start thinking that they have to do and think exactly like everyone else in order to succeed and that is not true. That is why I say that there are no absolutes, no hard and fast rules in writing. Follow your path.
I have listened to many writers speak, read many books on writing, and while much of what they say is the same, there is often something that is very different. Usually that different thing is part of their creative expression, the way they approach their writing. However, on a core level, I think most creative people operate in a similar manner.
I see people who do something like #nanowrimo (National Novel Writing Month) where they try to write a certain number of words each day, every day and I have two views of that: it's good they are getting words down. But are they the type of writer who works that way? I know writers who don't write every day, but work in creative bursts. They might not write for a week, then knock out 20,000 words in three days. #nanowrimo doesn't work for them. Stephen King says he writes 10 pages a day. That's great for him. Does it work for you?
Additionally, that is what he says. Does he actually do it? Probably, but maybe not. He's the only one who knows the truth. Most writers feel a subliminal degree of guilt over getting paid to sit at home and create stories. So sometimes we says things to make it more apparent that we 'work'. Because it's hard to explain how hard it is to simply be sitting still, doing nothing, while we develop blinding headaches trying to work our way through our plot while remaining true to our characters. So we use things like word count and page count instead, even if they aren't true.
When I discuss how to write a novel, I talk a lot about the craft of novel writing. The art is woven into the craft with deeper insights and when you take craft and twist it by breaking rules. But the first rule of rule breaking is to know the rule. Thus we must learn craft before we look to art.
Craft is the intellectual aspect of writing. The art is the emotional aspect. A great writer engages both the reader's thoughts and emotions, thus being both a good craftsmen and a good artist.
One of the paradoxes of writing, and something to keep in mind when going through this: I am going to present techniques, ideas and formats that are the accepted way of doing things; yet the accepted way makes you the same as everyone else who can read a writing book and follow instructions, and your work has to stand out from everyone else's. So how do you do that? How do you do things the right way yet be different?
Everything mentioned is a template; do not allow anything to stifle your creativity. Remember the paradox. The best analogy I can come up with is that if you were a painter I am telling you about the paint and the canvas and lighting and perspective, but ultimately you are the one who has to decide what you are going to paint and how to paint it.
Another thing is to understand the techniques and methods, and then use your brilliance to figure out a way to change the technique or method to overcome problems and roadblocks. To be original—an artist—with something that's already been done. Also to mix techniques and methods in innovative ways.
I call my book on writing a Writers' Toolkit because if you pick up a hammer when you need a saw, that doesn't invalidate the hammer as a tool. It means you made a mistake as a craftsman.
What "tools" do you rely on for your process as a writer?

Why Write? Craft Tuesday at Write on the River
78% of Americans believe they can write a book. I'd be willing to bet 77% of them will die regretting they never did. However, in this age of eBooks, more and more are actually doing it. Pouring their stories into the content flood. Some of them are great stories, well written. Okay, let's amend that to say a few. The vast majority aren't. The reason: few people are willing to learn the craft of writing and work hard at it.
You have only one thing stopping you from writing the best book you are capable of. You.
This is a Toolkit because no tool is wrong. If I need to fasten two pieces of wood together and instead of picking up a hammer and nail, pick up a saw, it is not the tool's fault. It's mine.
I'm going to lay out numerous writing tools on these blogs (and in the book) that will help you develop your craft as a writer. However, becoming an artist is up to you.
Point of view is the most critical style element in writing. It's also important in following the way I teach writing. I've been making a living writing for well over two decades and with each year and every new manuscript come new lessons learned. Over that time period I've taught writing novels and getting published at various workshops and for numerous organizations. I've attended many workshops and listened to other authors present. I've read many books and watched many movies and shows, constantly analyzing the writing, to learn new ways of creating. I've seen numerous ideas, stories and manuscripts in the course of teaching, helping other writers, and judging contests. I've been published by eight different American publishers, many foreign publishers, worked with over two dozen editors, and have had four primary agents. I've been traditionally published by the Big Six in New York, and non-traditionally published through my own imprint. I've been published by Amazon's science fiction imprint 47North. I've had hardcover, trade paperback, mass-market paperback, print on demand, and eBooks published across the range of possible platforms.
The words that follow are my experiences and opinions. They were born out of my desire to give those I taught something solid when they attended a seminar or class or bought a book.
Too many people lament the state of publishing and the "crap" that fills the shelves in the local bookstore or has been uploaded as an ebook. My goal is not to complain but to explain; to tell you about the craft and art of writing so you can accomplish your goals.
The world of writing is a very diverse one and there is a place in it for just about everything and everyone. Things are changing rapidly, faster than ever, and I think it's an exciting time to be an author, with more opportunities than ever before.
The bottom line is I write because I enjoy it. That doesn't mean it's easy. The one commonality I have seen in every successful writer I've met is that they work very, very hard. There is a large degree of craftsmanship required to write a novel. It's not magic; it's hard work combined with the ability to constantly accept being critiqued and to critique one's self.
There's an advantage to the information I am providing. It was written over the course of my writing career so you are going to get information written when I was tightly focused on craft, and you are also going to get information when I was tightly focused on the art of writing. Most writing books give you one or the other–here you get the whole deal. I've learned more about the craft of writing in this past year, my 26th as a published author, than in all the years previous, because I've been more open to learning than ever before.
Additionally, in the last several years, I've focused on what it takes to be a successful author, not just in terms of the writing, but in terms of not only surviving, but thriving in the world of publishing. Most of that is in my Write It Forward program and book, but I will cover some of that here when it's needed.
The bottom line is the book. I love books. I love reading them and I love writing them. So if you love books, the words that follow are a glimpse behind the mysterious curtain of how they are born in the crucible of passion and idea, then written, and published.
I will take you step by step on the journey from original idea to the completed manuscript.
"I am always doing that which I cannot do in order to learn how to do it." Pablo Picasso.
Anything that upsets you, makes you feel bad, makes you angry, touches any emotional button is something you must focus on. We get upset whenever we hear or read something that affects us. Because we are hearing a truth, we react defensively with emotion. Our strongest defenses are built around our greatest weaknesses. As a writer, you will only get better by addressing the weakest parts of your writing. We all tend to want to focus on our strengths, but a book is only as good as the weakest part.
"I'm convinced fear is at the root of most bad writing." Stephen King
Often it is fear that keeps us from achieving our goals. It is fear that keeps us from writing. It is fear that stops us from living our inner dream. But fear is the seed of regret.
So. If you want to write, remember: No regrets.
Live your inner dream.
So it's a single, simple question:
Why do you write?

Writing Narrow or Writing Broad? Write on the River Notes
Do you write narrow, broad or both?
I've been struggling with my work in progress, Chasing the Son, and about 4 in the morning I realized a problem I'm having is I'm writing too narrow and linearly on a story that is actually broad and spread out over place and time.
Here's what narrow writing is:
-action oriented
-real time
-conflict driven
Here's what broad writing is:
-character focused
-slower paced
-multiple occurrences at the same time
-conflict driven
Note both are conflict driven, but in broad writing, the conflict is more character based, while in narrow writing, it's more action based. (all conflict should actually be both)
Neither are wrong. And a good book usually has both. In fact, I started this book out broadly. I begin by describing the low country around Charleston, then go into some history and by page three get to a character, then finally show character in action. Some would say not the greatest opening, where there needs to be that great hook on the first page and action. But I've written plenty of books like that. My subconscious obviously feels differently about this book and I have to trust it. Of course, that was my subconscious. The key is to move it from there to my conscious which is what I think finally happened at 4 in the morning. I'd gone from broad to narrow and it was bothering me.
We're running a Write on the River workshop this weekend with four people attending and the key to it is focusing on process. What each writers process is and how their minds work. I really focus on this now after a quarter century of writing. I constantly surprise myself by not really understanding my process and having to work on it and refine it. So today I have to dive back in Chasing the Son and expand the story rather than move it forward as I've been doing. I need to add more texture and characterization so the reader understands the motives of the characters and why the action is happening.
By the way, Jen has been working on covers as we rebrand the Green Beret series. We're breaking the books apart. The six original Dave Riley stories are one subset. But the books where Horace Chase comes to the forefront, will now be another subset. Even though Dave Riley is present in Chasing the Lost and Chasing the Son, these books are somewhat different. To brand them differently, we're redoing covers. What do you think?

Chris Johnson 3B ATL 5 days ago
Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said Thursday that he will not employ a strict platoon at third base at the start of the season, MLB.com reports. "You pick your spots with kind of like soft platoons," Gonzalez said. "You pick your best eight [position players] every single day. Some days, you go with a matchup. Sometimes you feel that even though he's right-handed [and you're facing a right-hander], if you feel like he can give you some good at-bats, you go with it. For me, it's not a strict platoon situation. We'll play it by ear."
A year after finishing as the runner-up for the NL batting title on the strength of a .300 average against right-handed pitching (384 at-bats), Johnson posted just a .263 overall average in 2014, with his mark against right-handers falling all the way down to .231 (468 at-bats). Johnson has adjusted his batting stance this spring, lowering his hands a bit, and he's seen results so far. Johnson has five hits, including a homer, in his last six Grapefruit League at-bats. While Johnson will be the primary option at third, he will likely sit against especially tough right-handers, opening the door for Alberto Callaspo or perhaps Kelly Johnson to see some opportunities.
Chris Johnson 3B ATL 3 weeks ago
Johnson (wrist) is expected to return to the lineup for Wednesday's Grapefruit League game, MLB.com's Mark Bowman reports.
He has been ailing with a sore left wrist, but it does not sound major and he should get plenty of at-bats this spring in order to be ready for Opening Day.
Chris Johnson 3B ATL 4 weeks ago
Johnson is dealing with some left wrist soreness and was scratched from Saturday's Grapefruit League game, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Johnson was feeling a little fatigued after getting in some extra hitting during Friday's off day, so the Braves will let him rest Saturday with the hope that the issue subsides. He could return to the Braves' lineup as soon as Sunday.
Chris Johnson 3B ATL 1 month ago
Johnson's teammate, Alberto Callaspo, is expected to see time at third base during spring training, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.It was generally assumed that Callaspo was brought in to fill the team's hole at second base, but it's now sounding like he could work himself into some sort of timeshare at the hot corner with Johnson. The 30-year-old Johnson posted a dismal .231/.256/.314 batting line against right-handed pitching last season, though the switch-hitting Callapso wasn't much better at .238/.303/.313. Callaspo may still see some time at the keystone, but the possibility of him playing at third base hurts what marginal appeal Johnson had in NL-only formats.
Chris Johnson 3B ATL 6 months ago
Johnson was 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in the Braves' win over Philadelphia on Friday night.
While his average has dropped off considerably compared to his huge season in 2013 (.265 as opposed to .321), he now has 10 home runs and 58 RBI which aren't that far off his career year.
Chris Johnson 3B ATL 6 months ago
Johnson (back) is back in the lineup Friday against the Phillies.
Johnson exited Wednesday's game with a lower-back strain, and missed Thursday's contest due to the injury. He expected to be back Friday, and it appears that is the case as he will man the hot corner and bat seventh for the Braves.
Chris Johnson 3B ATL 6 months ago
Johnson (back) expects to return to the action Friday, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Johnson hoped to return Thursday after suffering a lower back strain in Wednesday's game, but he'll be held out as a precaution. Barring a setback, expect him to be back in the fold Friday in Philadelphia.
Chris Johnson 3B ATL 6 months ago
Johnson (back) is out of the lineup Thursday against the Pirates.
Johnson was hoping to play Thursday despite suffering a lower-back strain Wednesday night, but the Braves will take precaution and hold him out of the lineup for at least one game. Phil Gosselin takes over at third base.
Chris Johnson 3B ATL 6 months ago
Johnson (back) hopes he will be able to play in Thursday's game, MLB.com's Mark Bowman reports.
Johnson was removed from Wednesday's game with a strained back, but it does not appear the injury is overly serious. Johnson's status for Thursday's game will be confirmed when the Braves release their starting lineup prior to the contest.
Chris Johnson 3B ATL 6 months ago
Johnson left Wednesday's game with lower-back strain, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Johnson doubled to left in the bottom of the fourth inning, his second double of the game, but was replaced at third by Phil Gosselin to begin the sixth. The team lists Johnson as just day-to-day, but it seems like something that could at least limit Johnson a bit over the final four games of the season.

My scenario:
- A PDF template with formfields: template.pdf
- An XFDF file that contains the data to be filled in: fieldData.xfdf
Now I need to have these to files combined & flattened. pdftk does the job easily within php:
exec("pdftk template.pdf fill_form fieldData.xfdf output flatFile.pdf flatten");
Unfortunately this does not work with full utf-8 support. For example: Cyrillic and greek letters get scrambled. I used Arial for this, with an unicode character set.
- How can I accomplish to flatten my unicode files?
- Is there any other pdf tool that offers unicode support?
- Does pdftk have an unicode switch that I am missing?
EDIT 1: As this question has not been solved for more then 9 month, I decided to start a bounty for it. In case there are options to sponsor a feature or a bugfix in pdftk, I'd be glad to donate.
EDIT 2: I am not working on this project anymore, so I cannot verify new answers. If anyone has a similar problem, I am glad if they can respond in my favour.

Humorist's Ohio Home On National Register Of Historic Places
The suburban ranch-style home in Ohio where humor writer Erma Bombeck launched her nationally syndicated column has been added to the National Register of Historic Places.
Listen to the Story
It's college graduation season and Miami University in Oxford this weekend is sending its graduates off to the next phase of their lives. Commencement speakers share many words of wisdom and advice.
But some Miami students are going to leave with more than words. A special business class requires students to map out their career paths before they leave campus.
A half dozen Farmer School of Business students on campus arrive for interviews dressed to the nines, in suits, pressed shirts, and blouses on the last week of classes.
A special kind of class
These students have just finished what they call their toughest college assignment. They had to develop a business plan, a life plan for themselves.
Dominique Suarez of Columbus and Rachelle Repinski of Cleveland took the course.
"I always like saw myself just going home to Cleveland after I interned and did all this stuff with it. And then I realized I can do whatever I want, whatever city I want to go to," Repinski said.
Suarez said the class instilled confidence in her for the future.
As part of a top business school curriculum, the class titled: "Real Strategies for Real Business" is an outlier. No amortization tables, no lesson on optimum price-to-earnings ratio. Students learn that stuff in other classes.
Instead, Instructor Patrick O'Brien, requires students to get personal.
"If I stand in front of you and just tell you, you're going to have to work really hard to be successful, it's going to bounce off your forehead," O'Brien said.
10-year plan
O'Brien graduated from Miami authored the book Making College Count. He requires each of his students to compose a 10-year 'holistic' life plan. He stresses the importance of those first years out of college.
"From age 22 to 25 you've got a pretty clean slate," O'Brien said. "So, if you want to go really hard, if you want to establish yourself you can do so."
O'Brien bases his curriculum on some basic business principles — 'Think Big."
"What's really unique about this class is that we created these ten principles," O'Brien said. "And because of the ten principles the class has real take-away value. One of my students from three or four years ago the other day said I didn't realize how important this class was until I got into the work world."
Student Andrew Kleshinski of Mansfield says the course is more than a series of career pep talks.
"Never before in my life did I have to get such a concrete pathway that I want to, exactly that, plan out the rest of my life," Kleshinski said.
Kleshinski will start his career as an associate consultant at Bain Capital.
"After my experience at Bain which will likely last anywhere from three years to a lifetime," Kleshinski said. "I will likely pursue an MBA and then after that hopefully go into the private equity field. And so actually mapping this out, quite literally on paper was just a mind opening experience to see all the different opportunities available."
Melanie Smith of Cleveland has a plan on a power point presentation. She takes a new job after graduation as a consultant at a Big Four accounting firm in Cleveland. Her plan includes professional travel after she studied abroad while at Miami. She wants to get an MBA by year five.
And in year three, a dog. And not just any dog.
"The dog is in my plan actually, I can show you," Smith laughed. "Yes a dog is in my ten year plan. What I did is essentially have two dogs in my life. But, a Golden-Doodle is kind of what I have on my power point slide. I also really like Dachsunds so depending on whether or not I'm in a city a smaller dog would be appropriate."
Where are they now?
O'Brien's has taught the class for ten years. So he wanted to see if his former students are sticking to their plans.
Five years ago Jennifer Budig's plan included a career in fashion in New York, an MBA and a family in three years.
"When I was coming out of school I just really thought that was something I wanted to do," Budig said. "And that was my goal, four years out of school I would get my MBA so as that time approached it like pushed me to really think about and you know, four years later I think you're a little more educated."
Well, Budig started in fashion. She's in New York, but now works as a global account executive for the Wall Street Journal. The MBA is on hold. As is the family. Even though she's veered off her post-college plan, she says it was worth doing.
"For me it was more like a roadmap to have all those things on the top of my head and they're things that I re-evaluate, I would say even monthly," Budig said. "You know, like what's the timing and what's next for me, and I think those are important things because without those, what are you striving for?"
O'Brien knows students won't stick to their exact plan, but says for a 20-year-old near the end of his or her college studies, the thought process of thinking ten years out is "incredibly meaningful. The American Dream, we believe, it's still available if you make the right choices along the way."
As students from this year's class scatter to jobs and internships, O'Brien is planning for next year's class. He accepts only 20 students — and they compete hard to get accepted.

Bleached/whitewashed Oak floors
I saw some pretty photos of a bleached/whitewashed oak floor. Anyone have any experience with this?
Would love to see some photos KateB. I am looking for a light colored wood flooring option myself. Good luck on your decison.
I saw this - http://andersonfloors.com/Our_Hardwood_Floors/Anderson_Floors.aspx?collection=2 in a model house and it looks beautiful. I'll post picture later when i get to computer.
Here is a link that might be useful: coastal art pickle barrel floor by Anderson flooring
I currently have Homerwood product (subsidiary of Armstrong) in my home now and really think it's beautiful. It's Hickory Graphite so I'm considering a lighter color for the new house. They have a new line called Aesthetics. Considering Ash White Sand.
Hi all. Has anyone found a nice white washed oak product or other species? I was following this thread and wonder if anyone has purchased the Ark brushed linen or their saddle. Both are white oak with some kind of pseudo oil coating.
Hi Avivacarol,
I'm still undicided in my flooring choice. I too looked at the Ark brushed linen and saddle. Beautiful flooring! What I liked about these two was the color, finish and micro bevel. The finish was matte ( UV oiled cured without the need to oil it.) and the bevel was super micro!
I'm now looking at a product from www.naturallyagedflooring.com, The Medallion Collection- Donar Oak. This is not whitewashed but it is a lighter colored oak. On thier website this looks dark but in person it's not. They do have a color called Oceanside that is whitewashed and I'm waiting on a sample to see it in person. Best of luck on your flooring hunt.
We're looking at Lauzon's "Beachwood" White Oak. A bit different in that the wood is not necessarily bleached, but the stain shows a lot of light contrast in the grain. Not sure where we'll land on our floor choice.

March 22, 2013 - 01:16 PM
Just like the previous few reviews, we too were on a cruise and booked a custom tour with Big Island Aina Tours as a way for us to see Hilo for the day. I found this tour company here on trip advisor and decided to email them as they were one of the top rated companies. Right from the beginning, correspondence with Gil was professional and extremely helpful so I posted this on Cruise Critic to get other cruisers to join us on the tour. Tina picked up our group of 6 from the dock and we enjoyed a wonderful day. The best part is we felt like we did and saw a lot but at a very relaxed and comfortable pace. We started out at the Rainbow Falls lookout and then made our way to the macademia nut visitor centre followed by the Hilo Coffee Mill and then Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Inside the park, we saw the Kilauea Iki volcano and walked through the Thurston Lava Tube and saw some steam vents. Next, we enjoyed lunch at a winery where some did wine tasting while others relaxed and ate. Lastly, we visited the Black Sand Beach before heading back to the docks. All in all, it was a very successful day with a very knowledgeable tour guide. On the way to different sites, Tina also offered us chocolate covered macademia nuts and fresh pineapples!
March 22, 2013 - 02:58 AM
Hi Gil and Tina...thanks for a wonderful day in Hilo, we really enjoyed our tour with you, Gil, in spite of the rain that didn't co-operate at all!! You took us to see so many beautiful things, and you were so nice and friendly, we were very happy that we had booked our day with you.
February 10, 2013 - 10:20 PM
Daniela & Dale Walker
We did the Private Circle Island Tour with Gil last November. Gil was an excellent guide and it was so great not having to worry about driving around to all the sites ourselves. The Volcano National Park and the Punalu'u Black Sand Beach were the highlights for us. Thank you Gil for a wonderful day and it was lovely bumping into Tina at the Macadamian Nut Factory.

Going Digital: The Future of Reprints?
One of the great things about law review articles is that you can order a batch of reprints — separately-bound copies of your article that you can send out to a list of your colleagues. I have a large and growing database of various professors, policymakers, journalists, and others who receive copies of my articles — a fact that is not without some irony, since many of these people are in the information privacy law field, and I have written extensively on the problems posed by databases. Thus, ironically, I maintain a database with one of the most extensive collections of people who criticize databases.
It is common practice among law professors to send out reprints widely, as this is a way to present one's scholarship to others in a highly-readable format. But reprints come at a considerable cost. Recently, I got the price quote for a reprint order for a soon-to-be-published article. Under the pricing scheme, I get 40 free reprints, but that's not nearly enough for my database, which includes hundreds of people. For 200 extra reprints, it would cost about $744 and for 400 extra it would cost $1059. Wow! I nearly had a heart attack . . . and I'm not even the one paying the bill — my school picks up the tab. Anyway, if I handed a bill for over $1000 to my dean, the keys to my office might not work the next day. Plus, there's the cost of postage, envelopes, and stationary.
So here's my idea. I'm thinking of moving toward a system of electronic reprints. I could send out a PDF version of the final article in an email to everybody in my database. In other words, I'd shift from being a junk mailer to a spammer. . . .
In my email, I'd include the text of the letter I would have sent to accompany the reprint, attach the article in PDF format, and possibly include a link to the final version of the paper on SSRN. I'd still order some reprints — about 50 to 100 — and offer to send hard copies of the reprints to anybody who requested them. My guess is that I'd get a few people requesting the actual reprint, but most people interested in reading the article would just print it out from the attached digital version.

NZ v WI, 4th quarter-final, Wellington
Guptill repays the faith, and then some
Mar 21, 2015: New Zealand's management believed in Martin Guptill's match-winning ability and stood by him through a nearly two-year period of rocky form. Even they couldn't have predicted he would vindicate them with a double-century in a World Cup quarter-final
New Zealand v West Indies, World Cup 2015, 4th quarter-final, Wellington
Guptill's 237 drives New Zealand into semi-final
Mar 21, 2015: Martin Guptill's unbeaten 237 was the highest World Cup score of all time and the second-highest in all ODIs, but most importantly it ensured New Zealand's progression to the World Cup semi-finals for the seventh time

Guptill agrees return to Derbyshire

New Zealand v Sri Lanka, 3rd ODI, Auckland
Match abandoned after 28.5 overs

Members of the San Francisco 49ers teamed up with WWE Superstars and Divas to make a visit at the Ronald McDonald House in the South Bay less than a week before WrestleMania.
The 49ers acquired Martin (6-5, 312) in a trade with the Miami Dolphins on March 11, 2014. He appeared in 15 games (nine starts) for the 49ers last season. Prior to joining San Francisco, Martin spent two seasons with the Dolphins.
Over the next month, we will be featuring 1-on-1 interviews with members of the San Francisco 49ers new coaching staff. We plan to release one interview about every two days. We start the offensive side of the ball with the newest 49ers quarterbacks coach.
Thursday's Niners Daily looks at the impressive 40-yard dash of a top wide receiver prospect and other important notes from the college pro day circuit.
View some of the best images of the San Francisco 49ers enjoying their offseason free time.

A short item addressed to the movie moguls of that stained spot on the map.
by J. Randal Matheny
Hollywood! Oh, Hollywood!
Go learn this truth, if you would:
Moviegoers would be inspired,
But you instead make them tired
Of sex, bad language, rivers of blood;
The public spurns your offensive flood.
If you'd see crowds coming back in,
Go back to films where the good guys win.
Got a word about this? Add it below in the comments section.

I meant good.
Amen and amen. Funny you should write this. I found a comedy show a few of weeks ago called Bananas. I paused for a minute as Jeff Allen told a joke. To my surprise it was clean and the next one was clean and the whole show was clean. There seems to be a Christian morality in the background, but it's not Christian comedy like Swanberg or Lowry where it's basically a funny sermon. It was just clean comedy. As Christians we need to support (by support I mean buy their stuff) those who try to live the Christian life in their professional careers. You can find more information about them at bananascomedy.com.

When it comes to choosing between weight and warmth, I always go for cozy. There's nothing better after a long day on the trail than to be able to zip into something more comfortable, especially if it comes with a hood and sleeves. Your Rab pick is right on. The 750+ fill goose-down Microlight Alpine Jacket ($215; us.rab.uk.com) comes with a Pertex laminate coating that makes it tougher than your average nylon, allowing for jabs with the tent pole or close encounters with sharp kindling. Best of all, if you're lucky enough to get some hot summer nights, the 340-gram jacket compresses into the size of a baseball and can live at the bottom of your pack until you want to take it out and use it as a pillow.
An equally warm alternative to down that you can use as a mid or outer layer is Outdoor Research's Neoplume Hoody ($150; outdoorresearch.com). I was skeptical that such a lightweight piece could keep me warm in the waning days of late August in Alaska, but I put it through the ringer on a soggy four-day trip down the Yukon River, and the PrimaLoft Eco insulation kept me warm, mostly because the rain slid right off.

I know it is only the beginning of February but with the
warm weather we have been having all winter long it is getting everyone
fired up for some open water fishing. So I can't really say it is game on
just yet for spring style fishing but who knows if these weather patterns
continue what we will find out on the lake.

Hey guys, I finished my first mixtape. Thanks to all of the producers who created these wonderful beats. So listen with me as I look for my mind. Tell me what you think and share if you like ^_^ PEACE and LOVE! :D
The echoing of clamped metal underneath my rusting feet screams at me, Saying: "Guilty, guilty; you murderer!" And as I step with hesitant, stalling legs, the footprints of blood follow me into the darkness of my mind. There is tainting between my rotting flesh and finger-nails – From clawing debris out of his eyes like […]
Mud Trespasser
Creased veins, why – WHY do you even sucumb to an abberations of distress? My dormant claw clutches the locked door's key, gripping tenaciously, Waiting oh-so patiently for the alteration of an all but distorted time. The boiling point has consummated a house-hold honor, Held so dearly to the seed of an infertile fruit – Oh, […]
Seagull Sky
While swinging around the brim of a petrified mushroom, I halt at the echoes of distant engines. Again, the winged poison soars as if it were a bird, But.. even the birds sing in acknowledgment to their livelihood. The chirping feathers voice their souls because they too breathe my air. It seems as the sun […]
