2013 entry. Todays fifth-generation Camaro uses a cut-down version of the Zeta 1 architecture developed by GMs Holden branch in Australia and which featured on the 2008-09 Pontiac G8 large sedan.
Like the car it will replace, the 2015 Chevrolet Camaro will be offered as a coupe and convertible with powertrain choices ranging from mild to wild. Reporting by website GM Inside News (GMI) suggests overall size and weight may be little changed, even though a smaller, lighter Camaro would seem almost mandatory in light of escalating federal fuel-economy standards and growing consumer preference for more fuel-efficient vehicles of all kinds.
According to GMI, the Alpha program originated in late 2004 as another Holden project, but languished until 2007, when Cadillac decided to develop the platform for a long-desired challenger to the likes of Audi A4, BMW 3-Series, and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. However, as GMI notes, the project suffered mission creep as Cadillac decreed more and more changes that quickly turned a light, sporty platform on its head
Among the conditions imposed by the luxury brand were space for V6 engines as well as the intended 4-cylinder units; engineering to accommodate optional all-wheel drive; and a larger Alpha + platform for the next-generation of Cadillacs CTS premium-midsize sedan.
As a result, says GMI, Each addition has caused another issue to engineer around, thus causing the Alpha program to exceed GMs mass requirements...by nearly 500 pounds. It is unclear how heavy Alpha products will be, but every independent Alpha source
has indicated that the final curb weight could push 4,000 pounds unless GM puts the program on a [crash diet] before launch. GMI goes on to cite company insiders and supplier sources as saying the Alpha program has been a near-constant stream of drama and problems for GM, which were compounded by the companys June 2009 bankruptcy. Even today, as the program nears its final stages...problems are still being worked out. Among those are a planned multi-link front suspension that no longer works as intended with the accumulated flab and is being given the band-aid treatment rather than a full do-over.
GMI reports that engineers are now struggling to reduce Alphas mass by a quarter-ton, a huge amount for a new platform at such a late design stage. One source has indicated that GM is willing to throw all sorts of new composite technologies at the body, structure, and powertrain to achieve that goal [for both] the Cadillac Alpha cars and the sixth-generation Camaro.

A League of Their Own
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
If you like baseball then you'll probably like this movie. I really enjoyed it. Though there are definite historical inaccuracies I found this film both entertaining and thought provoking. Though the movie takes poetic license, the truth is that women did have a place on the field at one time. It is fact that a young woman struck out both Babe Ruth and Lou Gherig. I could easily sit through this movie again. Anyone deeming this movie trash probably is very dismissive of the historical role that women really did play in Major League Baseball. Unlike other minorities, women are still barred from playing professionally or making the millions off of pro baseball that their male counterparts enjoy.
Great movie, very inspiring. I loved all the costumes, the sets, the good old music, it's very touching, very halarious. No fast forwarding.
I have no great fascination for women's baseball today, and I have even less for some historical rehash. Add Geena Davis, Madonna, Lori Petty and Rosie O'Donnell, none of whom I find overly compelling and you end up with a pile of trash. Now I know more people like this movie than hate it, I just didn't find to be anything special.
My favorite baseball movie of all time, this flick tells the story of two sisters on the Rockport Peaches, who played in the women's baseball league during WWII. Tom Hanks is great as a washed up former Major Leaguer who is now managing the Peaches. His speech about crying in baseball is a classic. Good performances also by Geena Davis, Madonna, and Rosie O'Donnell.

AD Classics: Expo'98 Portuguese National Pavilion / Álvaro Siza
At the Expo '98 Portuguese National Pavilion, structure and architectural form work in graceful harmony. Situated at the mouth of the Tagus River in Lisbon, Portugal, the heart of the design is an enormous and impossibly thin concrete canopy, draped effortlessly between two mighty porticoes and framing a commanding view of the water. The simple, gestural move is both weightless and mighty, a bold architectural solution to the common problem of the covered public plaza. Under the graceful touch of Álvaro Siza Vieira, physics and physical form theatrically engage one another, and simplicity and clarity elevate the pavilion to the height of modern sophistication.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
11 Mar 2014 13:54 GMT | Politics, Europe, US & Canada, Iran, Malta
Twenty-five years after the Lockerbie bombing, Al Jazeera has uncovered evidence which casts doubt over the entire investigation and trial into what was the biggest case of mass murder ever seen in Scotland.
Documents obtained by the network, and verified by security and legal experts, point to the involvement of Iran's secret service, Hezbollah and the armed group The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) - General Command.
The investigation found that the PFLP was responding to requests from Iran to avenge the shooting down of Iran Air Flight 655 by the USS Vincennes in July 1988, which killed 290 people.
Classified US Defence Intelligence Agency cables obtained by Al Jazeera say: "The execution of the operation was contracted to Ahmad Jabril, Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine General Command (PLFLP-GC) leader. Money was given to Jabril upfront in Damascus for initial expense. The mission was to blow up a Pam-Am flight."
Al Jazeera's investigation found a meeting took place between the parties in Malta nine months before the bombing of the Pan Am flight, with the purpose of the meeting to discuss potential US and Israeli targets to attack and, or, blow up.
The Al Jazeera investigation also gains access to the confidential Bird Report, which was commissioned by Abdelbaset Al-Megrahi, the Libyan convicted of the bombing, before he dropped his appeal.
Al Jazeera also interviewed a senior Iranian intelligence official and a former CIA agent.
"Six days after taking down the Airbus there was a meeting in Beirut, we know where it occurred. The Iranians went to the PFLP-GC, the break off faction and said, alright you guys know how to bring down airplanes, bring down five, five civilian airliners," former CIA agent Robert Baer said.
Criticising the subsequent path taken by the investigation and resultant trial, Baer said his opinion was not a controversial one among those involved. "The CIA and the FBI investigations diverged completely… because the case was, being run by the Department of Justice, in complete disregard to the intelligence. As far as I can tell is someone said, look, Libya's vulnerable to prosecution, small country, Gaddafi's hated, let's go for it.
"It was an executive decision, and then once that happened everybody lined up. So the people in the intelligence community could just go bugger off you know. Yeah fine, take your theories and run off. And that works until the evidence is proved, you know, to be faulty. "I'm not giving you a controversial opinion here. I kept up with all of the CIA, intelligence side, and to a man they've said it was Iran."
Al Jazeera tracked down two of the PFLP-GC members to whom the evidence points.
Abu Talb now lives in Sweden, while bomb-maker Marwan Khreesat lives in Jordan. A source close to him confirmed to Al Jazeera that the attack had been commissioned by Iran, and that the bomb was put on board the plane at London's Heathrow airport. The documentary is Al Jazeera's third in-depth investigation into the Lockerbie atrocity. The previous films gained exclusive access to the Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission report and raised serious questions about the safety of Megrahi's conviction.
Al Jazeera's Jamal Elshayyal reports.Lockerbie: What Really Happened? will air on Tuesday 11 March at 2000GMT on Al Jazeera English.

Today I'm sharing a girl's peplum top FREE pattern with you! Since we released the Pretty in Peplum Dress & Top Pattern last fall, I've been wanting to share a free version of a peplum top in a smaller size (the Pretty in Peplum pattern includes sizes 18M-12 years) that will fit Hattie. I can't wait until she's a bit bigger and can wear the dress version, but for now she (I) can just enjoy wearing a peplum top! And now your little one can too with this free pattern! [Read more…]

Behavior Jars – Reward the Positive in Your Kids!
Discipline is a hard thing, especially with a 6, 4, and almost 2 year old in the house. Throw in the fact that I'm 39 weeks pregnant with number 4, and you can imagine why the subject of behavior has become a frequent discussion in our household lately. After an especially challenging week with my boys last month, Joel and I decided to try a new discipline strategy. Time outs haven't been super successful in our home recently, and we've wanted to encourage the boys' good behavior rather than just disciplining the bad, so we came up with a new plan that we've heard has worked well for several of our friends.
I'm sure you've heard of similar ideas, but basically, each boy has his own jar, and good behavior earns a pom pom into the jar. Sometimes it's a large pom pom, sometimes it's a small one, but we try to recognize any little thing they do that is positive throughout the day. And of course, when they make a choice that's not so great, we take a pom pom out. As a family, we decided on a prize for each of them before we started, and when the jar gets full, they get the reward. Weston is already the proud new owner of a Ninja Turtles costume, and Wyatt earned a computer game that he's been wanting.
So far, I'd say it's been really successful. Now that we've done it for a few weeks, I have to remind myself to be consistent, but overall it's been very positive for all of us. Have you ever tried a similar idea? How has it worked for you?
Joel picked up the jars and a huge bag of pom poms at Michaels, and I made a label for each jar using one of my favorite products, Silhouette's clear sticker paper.
I used the print & cut feature, and in just a few minutes had my labels ready to go! Here's a quick video about the print & cut feature…
Now I'm imagining everything else that I need to make labels for… My pantry, my sewing room and office…

Top 10 J-Horror Movies (Japanese Horror Movies)
Asian horror films on the most part fall somewhere between "deep to my heart" to recycled nonsense. Though I do enjoy the thrill of weeding thru all the stinkers to find the gems. For anyone new to these, they present a special brand of fear and dread that is far removed from many Western releases. In fact, I'm quite confident in saying that Asian films tend to rule in the ghost and loony categories. Usually … Continue reading

Planned Parenthood believes firmly in absolute equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered people everywhere. Here in North Dakota, it is an outrage that LGBT individuals can be discriminated against in the workplace, at businesses, by landlords and healthcare providers. We are staunch supporters of the Non- Discrimination bill 2279; a bill to end discrimination based on sexual orientation in housing and employment in North Dakota.
On Monday the anti-discrimination bill was heard before the House and Human Services committee. Testimony lasted the length of the day in a packed room! 21 states and the District of Columbia all have anti-discrimination policies in law for individuals based on sexual orientation.
Testimony in favor of 2279 was given by a wide cross section of North Dakotans including parents, business owners, employers, employees, military vets, and Faith leaders. Opposition to ending legal discrimination came from the ND Family Alliance and the Catholic Conference. And, opponents of the bill flew in nationally recognized anti-human rights advocate, Kellie Fiedorek, to elevate her own brand of oppression.
You can check out the Forum's Editorial in support of passage of SB 2279.
Send a letter to tell your state representatives that discrimination is not a North Dakota Value.

The Detroit Water Project empowers anyone in the world to pay delinquent water bills of Detroit residents. It uses the internet to pair strangers together. It's like a Kickstarter campaign but rather than funding a project you're directly helping a resident in need.
The Washington Post wrote about the project last fall — and I think its genius.
I think the concept should be mimicked on Plum Island. As most of my readers know, the barrier island received a record snowfall this winter. It wasn't the total amount of snow that mattered but that we had blizzard after blizzard after blizzard in such a short amount of time. This caused streets across the city to be unplowed for weeks, intersections to be obstacles for cars turning corners, and PI residents to experience sewer backups. Because the exterior vacuum vents were covered in snow, air couldn't move in the sewer pipes and the sewerage got backed up until it overflowed from where it came. Yuck.
I don't know if and/or when and/or how much the mayor will ask the city council to pay PI bills. I'm aware that the city helped over 100 families stay in hotel rooms and that city staff and contractors worked 16+ hour days to fix the pipes and clear the vents.
I wonder if an internet tool such as the Detroit Water Project could be used here, telling the world about the city and the unique sewerage issues we experienced, and asking the world to help families get back on their feet. It's great that local banks and philanthropic organizations are helping pay bills; but I hope I'm not alone in thinking that Newburyport shouldn't pay its own bills. Similar to Kickstarter, let's create a kick-ass online campaign and ask the citizens of the world to help out the citizens of Plum Island (and alleviate the limited pursestrings of Newburyport City Hall at the same time).

ATTORNEYS LIGHT VALVES WITH HIGH FREQUENCY EXCITATION BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to light valves of the type including a cell containing a fluid suspension of minute particles capable of orientation by an electric field to change the transmission of light through the suspension.
Light valves of this type have been known for many years. Fluid suspensions of herapathite in a suitable liquid have commonly been preferred, although other types of particles have been suggested. In general, the shape of the particles should be such that in one orientation they intercept more light than in another orientation. Particles which are needle-shaped, rod-shaped, lath-shaped, or in the form of thin flakes, have been suggested. The particles may variously be light absorbing or light reflecting, polarizing, birefringent. metallic or nonmetallic, etc. In addition to herapathite, many other materials have been suggested such as graphite, mica, garnet red, aluminum, periodides of alkaloid sulphate salts, etc. Preferably dichroic, birefringent or polarizing crystals are employed.
Very finely-divided or minute particles are employed, and are suspended in a liquid in which the particles are not soluble, and which is of suitable viscosity. In order to help stabilize the suspension when in the nonactuated state, a protective colloid should preferably be used to prevent agglomeration or settling.
A fluid suspension which has been used with success uses generally needle-shaped particles of herapathite, isopentyl acetate as the liquid suspending medium, and nitrocellulose as a protective colloid. Plasticizing agents such as dibutyl phthalate have also been used in the suspension to increase the viscosity.
To apply an electric field to the suspension, conductive area electrodes are provided on a pair of oppositely disposed walls of the cell, and an electric potential applied thereto. The electrodes may be thin transparent conductive coatings on the inner sides of the front and rear walls of the cell, thereby forming an ohmic type cell wherein the electrodes are in contact with the fluid suspension. It has also been suggested to cover the electrodes with a thin layer of transparent material such as glass in order to protect the electrodes. Such thin layers of glass form dielectric layers between the electrodes and the fluid suspension, and the cells may be termed capacitive cells. Direct, alternating and pulsed voltages have been applied to the electrodes in order to align the particles in the fluid suspension. When the voltage is removed, the particles return to a disoriented random condition due to Brownian movement.
The frequency employed for energizing the cell has an effect on the light transmission of the cell when in its open or energized condition, and hence on the density ratio between closed (unenergized) and open conditions. This has previously been recognized. Although frequencies as high as 100 KHz (kilo-hertz) have been mentioned in the literature for energizing such cells, the indications have been that frequencies above about 30 KHz are of little value since the density ratio curves become asymptotic above about 30 KHz and there is little increase in light transmission above 30 KHz.
Commonly the front and rear walls of the cell are transparent, for example, panels of glass or plastic. With no applied field, and random orientation of the particles, the cell has a low transmission to light and accordingly is in its closed condition. When a field is applied, the particles become aligned and the cell is in its open or light transmitting condition. Instead of making the rear wall transparent, it may be made reflective. In such case light is absorbed when the cell is unenergized and is reflected when the cell is energized. These principal actions may be modified by employing light reflecting rather than light absorbing particles.
In such cells a serious problem is the agglomeration of the particles. While protective colloids are helpful in reducing or avoiding agglomeration in the stored or inactive condition, when the cell is in use the tendency to agglomerate increases.
Depending on the particular suspension employed, and the voltage and frequency used, agglomeration may become noticeable in a matter of seconds, minutes or hours of use. One agglomeration has occurred, it tends to remain more or less permanently even though the exciting voltage is removed.
Such agglomeration considerably impairs the usefulness of the light valve since it creates inhomogeneities in the suspension and hence changes the light transmission from point to point. Also it reduces the ratio of optical density between the closed (unactuated) state and the open (actuated) state. Further, the density in the closed state may decrease.
It has now been found possible to avoid such agglomeration for long periods of time by using energizing frequencies substantially higher than those heretofore suggested.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In accordance with the invention, frequencies above ap proximately 325 KHz are employed to energize the cell, and preferably 400 KHz or higher, to prevent substantial agglomeration in the fluid suspension over long periods of use.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a general view of a known type of light valve with which the invention may be used;
FIGS. 2 and 3 are cross-sectional views showing ohmic and capacitive type cells known in the art; and
FIGS. 40 and 4b illustrate the closed and open states of the cell suspension, respectively.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a light valve generally indicated as 10 is formed of two sheets of glass ll and 12 having transparent conductive coatings l3 and 14 on the inner surfaces thereof. The conductive coatings form area electrodes for the application of energizing voltage to the cell. The glass plates are separated by a spacer l5 sealed to the glass plates around the edges thereof to provide a chamber 16 therebetween in which the fluid suspension of minute particles is placed. Once the fluid suspension has been introduced, the cell is sealed. The conductive coatings 13 and 14 are connected to a high frequency power supply 17. Inasmuch as the fluid suspension in chamber 16 is in contact with conductive coatings I3 and 14, this may be termed an ohmic type cell.
FIG. 3 is similar to FIG. 2 and corresponding parts are similarly designated. However, in FIG. 3 thin transparent coatings I8 and I9, for example glass, are placed over the area electrodes 13 and 14 so that the conductive coatings are protected from the fluid suspension. Since layers 18 and 19 are of dielectric material, the electrodes are, in effect, capacitively coupled to the fluid suspension in chamber 16.
FIG. 4a shows the closed or opaque condition of the cell 10. Here tiny acicular particles 21 are illustrated in random orientation. A beam of light impinging on cell 10, indicated by ar rows 22, is substantially cutoff.
FIG. 4b shows the open or light transmitting condition of the cell 10. Here, due to the application of an electric field, the particles 21 are aligned with their major axes perpendicular to the wall faces. In this condition, the particles intercept much less light than in the random condition shown in FIG. 40. Consequently a considerable portion of the beam of light 22 passes through the cell, as indicated by the arrows 23.
For operation at high frequencies, in accordance with the present invention, it is desirable to use relatively highly conductive electrodes so as to avoid excessive heating.
With an herapathite suspension in a cell having a separation of 33 mils between front and rear walls, and an applied voltage of 800 volts peak to peak, agglomeration began to occur in about 15 seconds at frequencies of l KHz, 5 KHz and l0 KHz. The exact appearance of the agglomeration changed somewhat with time, but after a few minutes the deleterious effect became quite serious. At 20 KHz, 50 KHz and KHz, longer times elapsed before agglomeration occurred, but after 10 minutes or so agglomeration became noticeable. At 500 KHz no agglomeration was observed after an extended period of time, and light scatter was reduced below the level present at lower frequencies.
ln another test, a cell was operated at about 400 KHz in the continuously open condition for 2,000 hours without noticeable agglomeration. Although the test was discontinued after 2,000 hours, there was no indication that an upper limit had been reached. Bursts of 400 KHz with a 20 percent duty cycle and a burst length of 40 milliseconds were applied continuously for 5 weeks without noticeable agglomeration, and no indication that an upper limit had been reached.
Various other frequencies in the range from 100 KHZ to 500 KHz, and above, have been employed. Although it is difficult to determine the minimum frequency required to avoid noticeable agglomeration, the tests indicated that at approximately 325 KHz very long periods of operation are possible tivity. It will be understood that the term light valve applies to these various types of applications.
I claim:

I know there is a gallery but I couldn't get it to take my picture so I will try here.
I got this Passi at Lowe's a couple of months ago. It has grown SO much and has tons of blooms. Is it an Amethyst? It has three lobed leaves the label said Purple Passionvine, Pfordi or something like that.
jblaschke(8b TX)
You're correct--that's an Amethyst. Or possibly Lavendar Lady. The two hybrids are practically identical, and the only sure way to tell them apart is to pollinate them with p. caerulea or somesuch. Amethyst will usually set fruit and produce a few seeds, while Lavendar Lady won't. Adding to the confusion is the fact that Lavendar Lady used to be a synonym for Amethyst in years past, before the new "Lavendar Lady" hybrid was released.

We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
4DX-equipped theaters deliver smells, seat motions, and additional effects such as strobe lights and fog, all in sync with events as they appear on the screen
I already get headaches from 3D films, so I don't watch them.
Smells, strobe lights, fog, and moving seats? No thanks.
There's only a few movies I'll see in a movie theater each year (with Iron Man 3 being one of the planned ones), but for the most part I'd rather watch it at home on my own setup, which lets me enjoy the movie more and be able to eat/drink what I like and pause it to hit the head.
My home theater and my lazy-boy sofa are fine for me for most movies.
Aren't you glad you're not getting all the government you pay for now?

The friend brought this to a pot luck at our house and I rated this a 4 since I've been making it regularly ever since. My friend adds a little sugar to the dressing, but instead I add 2 T high quality white balsamic to give it a touch of sweetness. I substitute Trader Joes toasted sliced almonds (salt free) instead of sauteeing them in oil which saves a lot of time. For optimal flavor, allow the salad to "rest" for 15-30 minutes before serving at room temperature - this will blend the flavors and slightly wilt the kale. Toss again before serving. I don't measure any ingredients except for the dressing. I eyeball the other salad ingredients. A small handful of kale, about 1/3 c of shredded brussel sprouts, 1-2 tablespoons each of cheese and almonds and enough dressing to coat per serving. I try to keep some prepped ingredients and eat a single serving for a few days in a row instead of my normal tossed green salad. I've tried bagged kale and brussel sprouts, but it's not that hard to slice up the kale and brussell sprouts and the nutrition level is much better.
I made this recipe for a pot luck party and by the time I was able to eat, there was non left! Of course I had to make it again so I had a chance to eat more than a spoonful, and I was very happy with the results. I used the prepackaged Kale, Brussels Sprouts and Cabbage from Trader Joes, and it was perfect. Why cut everything if you don't have to! I love the lemon dressing and all the flavors blend perfectly with nothing overwhelming the salad. I also made it for lunches and added chopped chicken breast. Great meal to bring to work!
I returned from a bridal shower minutes ago and the first thing I did when I stepped into my house was to look this up. There was great food from a brilliant caterer as we'll but this salad was my favorite of all, and I am NOT a kale girl. I can't wait to make it!
I loved this. Enjoyed the taste of the almonds with the cheese. Dress this and let it sit for a bit. Holds up nicely on day 2 also. I halved this recipe.
This recipe is perfect. And different than your run-of-the-mill salad offering. There is never a bit left. I use pine nuts because I prefer them. Yum!
Excellent as written. This will be a keeper.
This recipe is fantastic as-is. You can also make it with cabbage instead of Brussel sprouts and it's just as good. Also, you can reduce the olive oil by a bit, and use Parmesean instead of Pecorino. Though it's best w/ the shallot and garlic, if you don't have any on hand it's still delicious.
New fave salad! Added avocado and some chopped tomatoes without seeds. I did not add the cheese. Found a good salad to take to picnics and other summer events. Could alter for other holidays with cranberries.
My 10 and 7 year olds eat this and come back for seconds!
This is quickly becoming my favorite salad! I like to dress it about 2 hours before serving and add dates, roasted tri-colored carrots, and avocado. It has been a huge hit at the past few dinner parties I've attended. Definitely reccomend making the dressing one day in advance.

Murder Was the Case: L.A. Homicide No. 304: Elderly Store Owner Dies After Botched Robbery
The elderly owner of a discount store who was shot during an attempted robbery died today. The three men responsible for his death still remain at large.
View Larger Map
The shooting occurred at 4:10 p.m. December 21 at Freidoun Kohainim's 98-Cent store at 1316 West Venice Boulevard near downtown Los Angeles. According to police reports, the three men walked into the store, and demanded money from Kohainim. Then, one of the suspects pointed a chrome-plated handgun at 72-year-old Kohainim who tried to wrestle the gun away. He was shot in the back of the head in front of his wife. He died at California Hospital Medical Center earlier today.
According to media reports, Kohainim's two sons were working in the back of the store at the time of the shooting.
The family had recently moved to Los Angeles from Iran.
The suspects are described as a male Hispanic wearing a black Hoodie sweatshirt, another male Hispanic wearing a grey Hoodie sweatshirt, and a third man of unknown ethnicity wearing a grey long-sleeve pullover shirt with a black beanie knit cap. All three also appeared to be wearing black knit gloves.
Anyone with information about the shooting should contact Rampart Division detectives at (213) 484-3450.

Coaching Packages
We can do any of these from afar if you're not in New York — Skype or phone works great.
Special: $399 for six hour-long sessions in the following subject areas:
- Becoming a Writer … Who Writes: You know you want to be some sort of writer, but have no idea where to begin. I'll walk you through the early stages in easy, clear steps until you've got a concrete plan and routine for moving forward. I'll help you figure out what you want to write, or at least start with—an obviously critical step. We'll work together to draft a writing routine that works for your life and even a reading list to keep that important part of being a writer on track. We'll talk about how to incorporate basics like character, scene, and structure into whatever you hope to write. And we'll talk about living the "writer lifestyle" on your own.
- Finding Your Writing Voice: In these six weeks, I'll help you get in touch with the essence of your personality that should come through in your writing. (Yeah, it's a little shrink-y and Oprah-y, in the best possible way.) We'll talk about voice from every angle: the lit-geeky (Kerouac, Salinger, The New Yorker) and the pop-star-ish (Beyoncé and Britney might come up). There will be weekly exercises designed to help you find your writing voice (no dancing required, though if you're feeling it, by all means …). We'll explore ways to get comfortable with being vulnerable and how motivation strengthens your writing. We'll also talk about karaoke or opera, if the mood strikes.
- Launching Your Blog: A complete how-to, from drafting your plans and finding your target audience to setting up and writing. I'll walk you through the basics of choosing a platform and design, then work with you to fine-tune the writing before you go live. You'll have a chance to workshop blog posts and ideas, get critiques, and make a blogging schedule. By the final session, we'll launch your blog with five posts up and another five ready to go.
- Launching Your Writing Career: You want to be a writer — a published one — but you don't know where to begin. With this package, you'll find your writing niche and learn how to get published. I'll guide you through coming up with specific, attainable writing career goals and drafting plans to accomplish them. By the final section, you will have made progress on — and perhaps even accomplished — three specific writing and publishing goals. And you'll have action plans for completing all of them.
- Writing a Nonfiction Book: In this package, I'll help you figure out your nonfiction book from start to finish: from what your book is about and why anyone would want to read it to researching it to getting an agent. During the six weeks, we'll work on your sample chapters, your proposal, your title, and what to do next.
- Writing Your Nonfiction Book Proposal in Six Steps: I will walk you through the entire process of writing a nonfiction book proposal in six sessions. We'll assess your idea, then work on a section of the proposal at each meeting, honing your material and allowing you to get feedback on every part of the proposal. This is for students who have an idea, know they want to write a proposal, and are ready to get it done.
If you're interested, please email me: JMKArmstrong (at) gmail (dot) com
More affordable options are available as well: Training materials, without the one-on-one consultations, for just $99. (Not available for Launching Your Writing Career, which is a customized program.)
Writing Career Coaching and Mentoring
For more direct, immersive help in guiding your writing career, I offer one-on-one coaching and mentoring. We can decide on a set period of time, work toward a goal, or simply collaborate as long as you need help. I love giving advice to fledgling writers who are baffled by the publishing industry and in need of some simple insider tips.
If you're interested, please email me: JMKArmstrong (at) gmail (dot) com
Writing Critiques/Editing
"Jennifer critiqued my book proposal. I had never written one before, so her insight into how proposals should be structured and her suggestions for improving it were invaluable. She was very thorough, and while not all her comments were positive, they were always constructive. Thanks to her help, I think I have a great chance of getting this project off the ground. Thank you Jennifer!"–A.K. Whitney
"Jennifer came to me highly recommended by a seasoned and veteran writer. Jennifer transformed what I thought was a book proposal into a work of art. I would absolutely recommend as well as hire Jennifer again for any editing project in the future." — George A. Mapp Jr.
I critique articles, essays, memoirs, op-eds, blog posts, book proposals, and non-fiction book manuscripts.
The critique includes a thorough analysis of your pages and a letter with suggestions. Expect a fair amount of feedback — both the good and the bad, don't worry! My critiques cover structure, reporting, transitions, and style. In nonfiction book proposals, I help you make everything agent- and editor-ready, including the marketing sections, chapter outlines, and sample chapters.
In a critique, I'll also point out problems in grammar, punctuation, awkward sentence structure, and similar things. But if you'd like a more basic line edit focusing just on those areas, I'm happy to do that as well.
If you're interested, please email me: JMKArmstrong (at) gmail (dot) com
We can hash out the details beforehand, but FYI, I'll want your manuscript pages in professional format: double-spaced, Courier or Times New Roman 12-point typeface, one-inch margins (ragged right margin, not justified), page numbers upper right, title/name in upper left. Please indent all paragraphs five spaces or a half inch.
For more about why I'm qualified for this, please check out my bio page.

Rheumatoid Arthritis Health Center
Rheumatoid Arthritis: Finding the Right Medication for You
Biologic Drugs: The New Frontier in Treating Rheumatoid Arthritis continued...
Abatacept (Orencia), etanercept (Enbrel), infliximab (Remicade), adalimumab (Humira), and anakinra (Kineret) are FDA-approved biologic agents for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. They interfere with immune system chemicals called cytokines -- all of which are involved in inflammation-related joint and tissue damage.
"With the advent of these [cytokine] blockers, we can target specific components of the immune system -- not the entire immune system," he explains. "Each of these works differently, and they are very good therapies."
In February 2006 the-- in combination with methotrexate -- for the treatment of RA. It's the first RA treatment that selectively targets immune cells known as CD20-positive B cells. B cells are believed to play a role in the inflammation associated with RA. Rituxan is intended for patients who have not improved with treatments called tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antagonists, such as Enbrel and Remicade.
"These newer treatments are able to work better, and work in a greater number of patients," Kavanaugh adds. "We're now able to improve signs and symptoms, make people more functional, keep quality of life up, and do a much better job of preventing damage. We really are seeing a big difference. Greater numbers of people are able to stay functional."
Pros and Cons of Medications Used to Treat Rheumatoid Arthritis
Here are brief descriptions of the various medications used to treat rheumatoid arthritis.
Anti-Inflammatory Painkillers
These drugs are used by nearly everyone with some form of arthritis. There are several options available over the counter and by prescription -- and all work to relieve joint swelling, stiffness, and pain. However, they do not stop the disease from getting worse.
Traditional nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like Motrin and Aleve can be hard on the stomach. Cox-2 inhibitors like celecoxib (Celebrex) are newer NSAIDs that are safer for the stomach, yet just as effective in relieving pain and inflammation.
All prescription NSAIDs, including Celebrex, carry an FDA warning about the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and potentially life-threatening stomach bleeding. But these drugs are a very effective treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. Patients and their doctors need to weigh the benefits of these drugs with the risks. Controlling risk factors such as cholesterol and blood pressure can help lower the heart and stroke risk.

|Minimum Stay
|2 - 4 nights
Lovely 2 bedroom, 1 bath apartment in quiet, residential Uptown neighborhood convenient to everything.
Newly renovated with hardwood floors, eleven foot ceilings, ceiling fans, central air and heat, wireless internet, 37' LCD HD flat screen TV, washer, dryer, gas stove, microwave, balcony overlooking charming New Orleans street. Parking available on street.
The apartment is on the second floor of a Victorian house. You enter into the living room which is open to the dining area and the kitchen. In the front of the house is one bedroom which opens onto the balcony. In the back is the second bedroom. There is complete privacy because unlike so many New Orleans houses you do not have to walk through one bedroom to get to the other bedroom or to the bathroom. Our bathroom is located off the living room. The apartment is comfortably furnished with a queen size bed in each of the spacious bedrooms and a queen sized sleeper sofa in the living room. There is a dining table which seats six. There are lots of windows and natural light.
The location is excellent: three blocks to St. Charles Avenue with the street car for a ride downtown to the French Quarter or uptown to Audubon Park, Tulane University and Loyola University. The apartment is three to six blocks to the Mardi Gras parades on Napoleon and St. Charles and ten short blocks to Magazine to see the Muses among other parades. Cafes and restaurants are as close as around the corner or only a few blocks away. Magazine Street with all its restaurants and boutiques is within several blocks as are a drug store and a grocery store. Freret Street, also a few blocks away, has a monthly festival as well as many new and exciting restaurants.
Among our favorites just around the corner is a Il Posto, a European café which is great for a quick breakfast, lunch or dinner. Two blocks away are Charlie's steakhouse and Pascal's Manale, a seafood restaurant. Manhattan Jack, which just opened a couple of months ago, has the best bagels in New Orleans as well as all sorts of other wonderful baked good, sandwiches and weekend brunch. The list of great places to eat in New Orleans is endless. We live downstairs and are available to answer questions or to offer suggestions.
This is a wonderful place to stay for your visit to New Orleans and enjoy all the fun and charm of this unique city!
My husband and I retired to New Orleans last year after 36 years in New Jersey. We have also lived in Manhattan, Los Angeles, and the Boston area. We are enjoying our new adventure in NOLA.
Pat purchased this apartment in 2012
We chose this property because we liked the neighborhood and it was close to our family here. We have since decided it is the best place to live in NOLA. It is so convenient to everything and we rarely use our car. We also love the character and charm of our house and of the neighborhood.
three blocks to the St Charles streetcar to easily get downtown or uptown; 3-6 blocks to the parade routes; walking distance to restaurants, stores, schools.
the accomodations were as advertised. Apartment Was clean and spacious and had everything you need. Hosts were more than accommodating,: there when you needed them not when you didn't. allowed us to leave our bags until our flight. Highly recommend. also I should note the apartment is within a few blocks of the cable cars as well as fun funky delicious eateries,
First off, I indicated on the recommendations that this would be a good property for tourists without a car. Please note that it is just my opinion. I like taking public transit. The closest street car pickup is 4 blocks away and then it's another 45 minutes or so to get to the French Quarter and additional walking is needed. One of our party was in a conference so we did have a car. She felt a car was a must for the location--she felt that 45 minutes would feel like wasted time. Tomato/tomAto. We were able to park on the same block each day--very convenient. We stayed in one of the 2nd floor apartments and it was perfect for us. It was right over Pat's residence. She has a couple of little dogs. We did hear them yip a couple of times in the mornings, but was not disruptive at all. It's an old house with old house character and all of the amenities we wanted. The stairs are steep so hold onto the railing if you are returning from Bourbon Street. There is a washer and dryer that we took advantage of and Pat even had detergent and softener there for us to use. There were plenty of towels and hot water for the four of us. She had several items for our convenience in the bathroom including a hair dryer (it was nice not to pack one). The kitchen was fully furnished for service for 8 or so. The bedrooms are at opposite ends, so our friends didn't have to listen to us snore.
She left us a basket of goodies including a nice bottle of red wine. We decided to slow down one evening so we ordered a jambalaya stuffed chicken from The Cochon Butcher and cooked it up in the apartment. Good friends, good food & good wine.
There is a cemetery just over a block away. We took advantage of a warmer evening and did a night stroll around the cemetery. We were delighted to find one of the gates open.
The only negative in the whole experience had nothing to do with Pat or the apartment. VBRO was doing a system upgrade when I attempted to reserve our dates. Pat took it upon herself to spend considerable time on the phone getting things worked out for us. We have relatives who live just outside NOLA and they know the area well. They said the location was safe and we definitely agree. This home is in a great location in the heart of the city were "real" people live. Six days flew by too fast--which we could have stayed longer--hope to return soon.
First time in NOLA with our College age kids. Property was very clean and comfortable, beautiful neighborhood- close to St Charles line- quick ride to Audubon Park or French Quarter on the St. Charles Line- walking distance to shops and restaurants- perfect location- would definitely stay here again
My family and I were down for a wedding and decided to also be tourists for a few days. Nice quiet neighborhood and home. Great location for catching the trolley downtown. Nice Restaurants within walking distance. The apartment is simply (but nicely) furnished, clean and perfect for our needs. The owners were very cordial and helpful. All around great experience.
My husband, son, and my parents stayed at this wonderful apartment for six nights. We were in town visiting my brother's family nearby. The neighborhood was quiet, there are great places to eat nearby, and it's two blocks away from the street car. The apartment is nice and clean. My husband and I are training for a marathon, and enjoyed many early runs. We highly recommend this apartment.
This place was great! The pictures do not do it justice. Plenty of room.

I have 25 years experience with all sorts of laptops and work in the technology field, so I pay attention to these things. Special pricing allowed me to buy this for $399, which provided the absolute best mix of features and performance for the price out of all available options in the market. Pretty, touchscreen, relatively compact and lightweight. HP understands ergonomics, unlike my ASUS, which has frustrating performance bottlenecks, and requires 2 HANDS for simple functions like adjusting screen brightness or the VOLUME! None of that garbage on this slick HP. This is simple to operate, and although the performance is basic, it is very workable. If you are a gamer you would be disappointed. Video performance is barely passable for streaming and DVD's, but not a dealkiller for normal users. General performance is very acceptable with a quad core processor and 6 GB of RAM. The 750 GB hard is quite ample capacity, although it is a 100% spinning drive, with no SSD component for faster start-ups - but I don't feel it really bogs down the system. I like that although it is fairly sleek, it has all the core features you need, SD card slot, standard network adapter, DVD Burner,very good sound, HDMI, and 3 USB2 ports. CAUTION: Does not have any USB 3 ports - if you care about that, you may want to look elsewhere. At under 5 lbs it is manageable and feels very comfortable. All this with a touchscreen! I am through buying any PC without touchscreen. Windows 8 is annoying, but this laptop handles it as well as any. I would buy these all day long. I would standardize on this for all 9 members of my family. You can afford 5 of these for the price of one higher-end laptop. Great value HP.

This is an excellent laptop for my personal use. It has a long battery life which is great when traveling or when you don't want to have the power cord dangling over your knees. Unfortunately, I had to give a presentation to my finance club using an overhead projector and there was no 15 pin VGA graphics plug, only the HDMI interphase. I had not noticed this missing item at the store as I fully expected that this interface would surely be included. After all, what are we supposed to do with our older overhead projectors? Just throw them away when they are working perfectly fine! Unfortunately, although HDMI to VGA adapters are available, they are online only, not in stores, so I had to wind up borrowing a friend's older laptop.

Comments about HP Pavilion 14" Touch Screen Laptop:
Purchased this laptop for my son as a reward for honor roll for the whole year. It was a great purchase, where can you find a touch screen with this kind of memory at this price. Normally I stick to Toshibas but the price and memory talked us into trying this little HP. Its terrific, nice key board (although I prefer a side keypad) my son finds this one perfect for him. Its fast, good battery life, smooth to the touch, nice clear screen. The speed is good, his games don't slow down, videos play well. The sound is good. The only thing that would be better is if we had bought two.
Comments about HP Pavilion 14" Touch Screen Laptop:
I love this new laptop from HP. It has all of the things that I need for everyday use. I like the small size and light weight, especially since it includes a cd drive. The touch screen is a lot of fun to use and is very convenient. For a numbeer of years, I bought HP laptops and printers for my kids as well as my self. Love their products
Ummm YEAH!
Comments about HP Pavilion 14" Touch Screen Laptop:
while searching for a new laptop, I decided to go into Staples instead of the bigger stores in my area 9and there aren't many let me tell you) and was very pleasantly surprised with the helpfulness of the gentleman that helped me decide. I was unsure if I wanted a touchscreen computer, but let me tell you...I LOVE IT!! The versatility of this notebook is awesome! If i don't want to use the keyboard, i use the touchscreen, if i don';t want to use the mouse, touchscreen. Powering on and off is a a SNAP! I highly recommend the HP Pavilion 14" touchscreen laptop to anyone who is on the fence. The size is something I was not used to (my last one was an 18 in Toshiba), but the fact that you can make the screen larger with a touch is also a bonus!! Go ahead...I dare ya....try it out for yourself...You'll be glad you did!!

Comments about HP Pavilion 14" Touch Screen Laptop:
I haven't had a new computer for 12 years when I bought this one. I bought it because it was a touch and I have found that I really do not like this feature so I don't use it. However, the rest of it is great. Its a bit heavier than I expected, about the same weight as my old computer, but so far I love it. I do find it easy to use. I loaded Microsoft office on it and I've been happy with that decision. I haven't even taken the protective film off the keyboard and the mouse pad. I was afraid to get it dirty so I'm protecting it!
