Yesterday on Twitter I noted that I finally made a decision regarding the book I'm working on -- The Query-Free Freelancer -- and whether I would pursue a traditional publisher or opt to self-publish the book.
I've chosen the latter.
I put a lot of thought into this over the last few months, and was already leaning towards the self-publishing route. But recent events in the publishing world solidified that decision. Today I'd like to talk about why.
Why I'm Choosing to Self-Publish
- I can afford to. While this isn't a reason on its own to self-publish, if you really can't afford to go this route and stick it out, then it's a good reason not to. Remember that just because I made this decision for myself, I'm not saying it's right for you or any other aspiring authors.
- I have a strong platform and large reach in the niche. In other words, the fact that I have what publishers are looking for (a large audience in the book's niche who would be waiting to buy, and sales of other previous products to back it up -- e-books in my case) is actually a perfect reason to go it alone.
- I have the marketing and PR background. Most authors don't come from the background of having run a PR firm. Not only that, but I specialized early on in working for independent artists -- including authors -- so the world of book marketing / promotion is nothing new to me. I've always intended to bypass the author / agent relationship because of this actually. I don't need someone else with the skills to sell my manuscript. There's no one better to sell it than me -- I have those same skills, a solid history, the contacts, and more knowledge and passion around the project than anyone else ever would. And I'm in a place where if I need to take more time away from clients to sink into promoting the book, I can do that without it upsetting my earnings (one of many reasons I've actually cut back on my work schedule already).
- I have an amazing network. -- I know plenty of agents, authors, and editors who I can bring in to help with the project if needed, on a contract basis. I also know amazing designers (for cover art), and other marketers and PR folks if I ever do need a hand on the promotion front.
- I'm not just an author, I'm an entrepreneur. -- I don't just want to write. I know how to take something to market. I've done it successfully in the past numerous times, and I believe that in this day and age it's important for writers to embrace the business side of things more than ever before. To me that means doing my market research, creating a product people will want, and then bringing in a team of people who can make the launch a success. And when it comes to this book, I plan to be at the helm; not having a publisher make those decisions for me. Again, if this were fiction I'd probably put it in their hands... just not when I know my own market quite this well.
- I'm stubborn about my rights. -- Here's what it really came down to. There are certain rights I just wouldn't give a publisher, no matter how big of a name they are. That includes any rights related to merchandising or film (which I'd put to use with ancillary products, video teaching series, etc. in this book's case). More importantly, I would not, under any circumstances, sign away electronic publishing rights. And I know that's pretty much a no-go with publishers these days. Frankly I'm disgusted by Amazon's posting of misleading stats to hype up the Kindle recently, and I'm not willing to allow any print publisher to negotiate policies I find unacceptable regarding e-book sales with them or anyone else. I've been in the e-book game for a long time, and not just in this niche. I know how to make those products very profitable, and I know how to do it without bowing down to Amazon. I won't let a traditional publisher step in and screw that up (although I know a few probably have more sense). If I were selling a mass market work of fiction, that might be another story. But I know my niche. I know its size. I know its sales potential. I know my reach. And I know that you can't treat all books as similarly as they are in the current e-book frenzy (which I'm betting will settle in the next few years just as the previous wave most consumers don't even know about did before it... at least when it comes to this type of book). In a niche like this, it's not about massive sales numbers. It's a relatively small niche compared to others I work in. And you have to target that market differently. Fortunately I know enough from my years of experience doing just that (and well) to know how I want to go about it. And that's precisely what I plan to do.
So that's the gist of my decision. And in my personal case, with this specific book, it makes a great deal of sense. I might choose a different approach in the future with other books, especially fiction or some children's book ideas I have in the works. We'll see.
Have you had to make this decision? What did you choose, and why? Is it a comprehensive decision you made about your writing career, or was it project-specific where you might choose something else down the road?
EDIT: There are actually two fairly big reasons for making this choice that I forgot to mention before, so I wanted to go back and add them now.
- Pitching this book to publishers would make me a hypocrite. -- And we all know how I feel about that. Why? Because this book is all about getting to a point where you can be a truly query-free freelance writer -- one where clients come to you instead of you having to pitch or query them to land new gigs. What kind of example would I set if I then turned around to pitch this book to publishers? Not a very good one. My other options (which was seriously considered) was to put the book proposal here on the website in short-form and make it available to publishers on request -- then turning my attention to making even more of those contacts and spreading the word within my existing network. It might have worked. But it's not the option I settled on, and it would take a very convincing offer to make me even consider changing my mind.
- I have a lot of ties within the indie community. -- Keep in mind that I used to work with indie artists predominantly. I've also been involved with independent authors (self-published). It's a huge passion of mine. Hell, the freelance lifestyle itself is about as "indie" as you can get. And I'm launching a big project along those lines later this year at IndieLounge.com. It will cover indie music, indie film, indie publishing, and independent workers (like us). So I feel taking this route keeps me grounded within my target audience as a whole more than traditional publishing for this particular title could.

Although I've published plenty of work in other people's books (guest chapters, special projects, etc) and have written for magazines for a long time, when I finally began to put my book together, I chose to self-publish. I don't have the background that you have, Jenn, and I know that I'll be making a lot of mistakes, but at least they are my mistakes to make. That feels better to me than to sign away rights that I didn't even know I *should* be protecting.
Well, a big part of the rights issues for me is that b/c I'm looking at the nonfiction book as an entrepreneurial endeavor, I already have a lot of product, service, and other ideas in my head to increase earnings. And the risk of losing any of that potential due to working with a traditional publisher is not an option for me.
And don't worry about not having a similar background. There is plenty of great info out there on self-publishing. I adore Peter Bowerman's Well-Fed Self Publisher for example, and I'm sure I'll be turning to that a lot in my process (not choosing the POD route in my case), and hopefully he'll let me pick his brain again when the time comes as he so often has in the past. Check his book out.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'm doing the e-book thing rather than POD. It seemed like the best choice because of the heavy heavy photo content of each of my chapters. I released the first chapter free as an introduction, and each additional chapter is very inexpensive. When they are all finished (who knows when that will be…), I'll look into bundling them.
That's actually an interesting approach. I do plan to release one or more free chapters here to entice people to buy the book and I might offer an e-book version as well, but hadn't thought about selling a chapter at a time for e-book-only releases.
Part of my reasoning is that each chapter is pretty long…as long as some complete e-books that I've seen, but mostly because my stuff is so photo intensive. The first chapter is an introduction, and it includes all the basics someone needs to get started. Each additional chapter makes reference to the first but goes in a new direction introducing new materials and techniques.
I make it sound like dozens are done, but right now I'm only working on chapter 3! It's just that it's been living in my head for quite awhile
Help yourself to a copy of the free chapter if you'd like: I don't know that you're particularly interested in bead embroidery, but you can still see how I'm structuring it if you're interested. Just promise me you won't laugh at my first attempt!
Have to agree, given your book's concept, querying publishers or agents about it doesn't seem like a good fit! Can't wait to see it. Maybe I can swap you for my Make a Living Writing e-book, which I'm hoping to get out next month!
Yeah, the idea of that made me very uncomfortable. If the platform helps me land something else in another topic area, by all means I'm fine with that. But blatantly pitching the first one when the whole premise is that writers don't have to do that in the freelance world just feels a bit skeazy to me.

So I saw the title of this post and I was like, "Challenge accepted." But NOPE I wasn't able to find any redeemable qualities in any of these superpowers. :(
I can see the 79% levitation being good kinda. If you used it when you jumped then u could float for a bit and probably go pretty high and far. and the 1 second super strength would be good for flipping stuff or punching through walls as long as you timed the stuff right. I mean think about it how much time do they actually spend using super strength? They only use it for like 3-4 seconds max at a time so if you timed everything right then its no real problem.
super slow mo would be usefull. dodge bullets and what not.
1 second super strength isnt that bad, punch someone you hate in the face, 1 second is long enough :D

I got the phone with Sense, but with now MoDaCo I've fallen in love with GPe and havent even booted back to Sense in weeks. I'll stay on GPe for the foreseeable future.
Thanks for your work! Always looking forward to updates.
EDIT: however with beta 13 it looks like we are on something between 4.3 and 4.4.
The phone says 4.3, but we have the updated home screen etc... am I mistaken?
So who's running what at the moment?
Sense 4.4 or GPe 4.4, what's your preference?

Last week, Mayor Mike McGinn, city council member Tim Burgess, and a group of neighborhood, transportation, and business activists signed off on letters urging the city's Department of Planning and Development to revisit a proposed upzone throughout the area around the Roosevelt light rail station to allow buildings much taller what DPD and the neighborhood previously agreed to. Today, the Roosevelt Neighborhood Association's land use committee chair Jim O'Halloren fired back, sending a letter to neighborhood residents urging them to contact Mayor Mike McGinn and the city council and tell them not to revisit the zoning in the neighborhood.
Roosevelt residents spent several years working with DPD and Sound Transit to come up with a plan to increase density in the area when light rail arrives. In recent weeks, however, a chorus of voices has emerged urging DPD to increase heights further than what the neighborhood agreed to---to as much as 12 stories in the immediate vicinity of the station.
The zoning originally approved by DPD would allow about 350 new units of housing in the area around the station above and beyond what the current zoning allows.
Calling the idea of revisiting the zoning "a grave insult to the Roosevelt community, and the countless hours of good-faith volunteer effort to plan responsibly for smart growth," O'Halloren writes, "We have been planning for years, the best ways to integrate transit into our community, to accommodate reasonable growth while retaining things that are important to us. ... Please ensure that the Legislative Rezone process is not derailed, but rather expedited so that Roosevelt can become a model 'transit oriented community.'"
McGinn is scheduled to meet with DPD director Diane Sugimura this Thursday to discuss the Roosevelt rezone.

SEX OR SUFFER, DARK COLONY 1 LARA SANTIAGO ISBN#: 1-60601-237-1 December 2008 Siren-Bookstrand, Inc. www.sirenpublishing.com E-Book $6.50 229 Pages Erotic Romance, Multiple Partners, Science Fiction Rating: 3 Cups
Research scientist Dr. Penelope Drake takes great pride in her work, and will do anything to help those under her care. She feels personally responsible for finding a cure for the vicious Sex or Suffer virus before another woman falls victim.
Gray Wyckoff is Captain of the supply ship Dalton for the Dalton Prime Corporation, and more than ready for a little down time. Streaking back across the galaxy is the last thing he wants to do, but after meeting his passenger, the monetary reward becomes inconsequential.
Penelope is horrified to find herself stricken with the S.O.S. virus, and is now on a race for her life to retrieve another dose of the antidote. She must make it to the Presec Colony on the other side of the galaxy, and her only hope is the Dalton. Gray is immediately taken with Penelope; her situation is so dire it breaks his heart to see her suffer. He will do everything in his power to help her.
Sex or Suffer holds true to its name as having a most unique and interesting storyline. As far as biological warfare goes, I am not sure of the believability, but the entertainment value is definitely there. The characters are exciting and sensual, and more than hot enough to hold your attention. The story itself is full of suspense and anticipation as it unfolds.

IU Undergrad Awarded Euroculture Scholarship
Posted: Monday, July 8, 2013
Lauren Bridges, a senior at Indiana University and a student assistant in the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures, was selected as a recipient for the Erasmus Mundus scholarship for the Master of Arts "Euroculture- Europe in the wider world" program. The award offers funding for EU and non-EU students to gain expert knowledge of the European Union while spending their studies in at least two European countries.
The MA program explores cultural, social, and political developments in European integration, values, citizenship, and identity. 150 European and non-European students, from countries around the world, are currently active in the program. Erasmus Mundus scholarships are funded by the European Commission, the executive body of the European Union that represents European interests as a whole.
Bridges graduated in May 2013 with a double major in Sociology and Communication and Culture. She minored in Economics and Psychology and was in the Liberal Arts and Management Program (LAMP). She was treasurer of the LAMP Student Advisory Board, and in 2011 she interned with Themester, an initiative of the College of Arts and Sciences. She grew up near Cincinnati, Ohio and graduated from Mason High School.
"Studying in Europe opened my eyes to new ways of living and understanding the world," Bridges said. "I'm excited to meet the students and professors, immerse myself in new cultures, and begin my research."
Bridges wrote her senior thesis in sociology, interviewing members of aspiring ecovillages in Indiana and North Carolina. As a graduate student, Bridges will be placed at University of Olomouc in Czech Republic for the first and third semester and at the University of Deusto in Spain for the second semester.
"[She] has a wonderful time ahead of her as part of the program," says Annika Frieberg, visiting lecturer in the Department of History, who teaches courses on Eastern Europe in the 20th Century. "It will open all kinds of doors, regardless of whether she decides to work with international relations or continue with some kind of other education."
For her graduate studies, Bridges is interested in researching the spread of capitalism and democracy in post-communist countries. She also hopes to seek opportunities for tutoring English students while studying the local languages.
"The passion and intelligence of the professors at IU has been truly incredible," she said. "I must give a big thank you to the professors who have mentored me and encouraged me to work hard. I must also thank my parents for their constant encouragement and support."
The MA program is offered through a consortium of eight European and four non-European universities, coordinated by the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. Students may be placed at universities in the Netherlands, Spain, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, France, Italy, or Sweden. Participating non-European universities include Osaka University, Japan, University of Pune, India, and the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico. Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) is the only participating university in the United States.
The 2012 recipient of the award was Michael Dimanshteyn from IUPUI. He spent fall semester at Georg-August-Universität in Göttingen, Germany and is currently at the University of Deusto in Bilbao, Spain.

What's happening to the Good Food store on Court Street near 3rd Place? Are they moving/closing?
I love going there since it's a family run store that has affordable prices... I would hate to see them go. - March 30, 2013 11:50 AM

Oh, no! I love that place. What's happening? Are the windows papered over?
- March 30, 2013 1:36 PM
Not papered over, but the shelves are bare. I asked them what's going on and one of the sons said it's time to retire while the father made a scowling face. I didn't go any further...

I was there today and asked about the partially bare shelves. They said they had a month to go before closing. They said they were not opening anywhere else. Sad indeed.

I have been a victim of the "Parking Pig" vigilante two times as have several of my neighbors on Douglass Street. When he thinks you are taking up too much space with your car he takes the liberty of expressing himself on your window. He is an idiot, oftentimes through no fault of your own you are in the middle of too large spot.

Regarding the Children's Rock & Roll venue that Peter Shapiro is planning for Gowanus, I have a few thoughts. I live a few blocks away and am surprised by the uproar that the vocalists have made over it. I walked that street a few nights ago and it's desolate. Would some people dining and listening to jazz music really be a hardship? I'd love to have a place to take my 5 year old son to participate in music and would welcome an environment where he could play and we could have breakfast. I've been to Brooklyn Bowl and had a good time there. It hasn't destroyed that hood. It wasn't really a hood until BB opened. I'd rather see someone with experience and Brooklyn ties do this upfront than an EDM club. Doesn't sound like Barclay's or Wetlands or Wallmart to me. Sounds pretty good to me.
When I sent this same note to WAG's site, they failed to post it. I'm surprised by what a negative, one sided message that's being presented. - May 29, 2013 11:15 AM

My family has lived between Smith and Hoyt on 3rd St. Since the 20's.
The amount of people who die on our block from Cancer is at an alarming rate including several members of my family.
We have always blamed it on the Nation Grid's Citizens Gas Works site and the concrete factories down the block.
The fact that they are considering building on this site is a scary thought! - August 17, 2013 8:09 AM
You should head down to the dock at the end of second street and the canal...take a photo of the interesting art floating in the gowanus. It's a neon manequen parts with flowers...very weird and blog-worthy.

Thanks, George. Will try to make it over there this afternoon.

Is the Art of Natural Beauty spa closing? I saw a posting for the storefront for rent for $10,500? Is that even possible to get that kind of rent now on Court St? Especially in a building with so many issues (mice, bugs, lack up upkeep)? Do you know what is happening?
- September 17, 2013 2:41 PM
- Katia said...
Had no idea the place is for rent but will investigate. But yes, that seem so be the going rate right now...
Thanks for letting me know. - September 17, 2013 4:00 PM
Does anyone know what's going on with Ciro's on Smith? It seemed to be doing well, but now has paper in the windows. Hopefully just a renovation?
- October 14, 2013 11:07 AM
- Katia said...
Hi Anon,
Ciro's is closed for good and a new place is taking over. The reno work does not seem to have started yet.
Will report as soon as I find out anything.

Did you hear about the crazy guy that was breaking things in Smith & Vine last night? I didn't see him personally, but my roommate did. Would love to know what the hell happened.
- November 11, 2013 9:45 AM
- Katia said...
No, I had not heard. The guy just went in the store and broke bottles?
I'll check it out. Thanks for telling me. - November 11, 2013 9:50 AM
- Katia said...
I talked to one of the owners of Smith and Vine. Apparently, it was just a drunk guy who came into the store and caused some commotion, but didn't break anything. He was ushered out of the store by staff. - November 11, 2013 8:09 PM
It's that time of year again. Is anyone experiencing packages being stolen from their stoops/inside their door ways? We had a package delivered from UPS yesterday at 4:30pm. Came home at 6p - and the package was not there. Be cautious!
- December 17, 2013 4:23 PM
In response to packages being stolen... I live on 3rd Place and both myself and my neighbors have had multiple packages stolen. We have posted signs on the door for deliveries NOT to be left at the door and we also notified the police on Union Street.

Have you heard anything about Revelations Day Spa on Court between West 9th and Garnet?
It took forever to open, seemed to have opened for literally one day, and is now closed. They took all of the shampoos, products and furniture out.
Personally, I am not surprised, nor am I saddened by the swift closing time. Their workers were constantly loitering, it took forever to open, it looked like it didn't remotely fit into the neighborhood, and there was often lots of debris left in front of the store, like broken glass, which the workers or owners never swept up.
It would be wonderful to have something useful down there, like a grocer or drug store. - January 06, 2014 1:56 PM
Hi Katia,
FYI Serenity beauty salon near Caruso's pizzeria closed after many years on Smith St. A sign was put up over the New Year. Also Copy Cottage is just completing a renovation of their store. The owner George is a great guy and its good to see a little guy make it.
Perhaps you can do a proper posting
Thank for listening.

I am one step ahead of you. Just posted about the hair salon closure. I like your suggestion about Copy Cottage. Thanks. Was just in there myself yesterday and complimented George on his new interior. Looks great. I'll talk to him. - January 07, 2014 9:53 AM
I was told that the brownstone on the corner of president and hoyt just sold for 2.2 million. I dont know how the broker gets people to pay such high numbers for these properties. What is going on with the prices in the area? Where is all this wealth coming from and why here?

I saw a father, for the second time in 3 weeks, leave his 2-3 year old child unattended while he went back into his building for 3-4 minutes. We do not live in Peoria. A child can be abducted or get into an accident in a blink of an eye. Is it me or does this rise beyond the level of pure stupidity to the level of neglect? How should a member of our community respond when he or she becomes aware of the fact that an adult is jeopardizing a child's welfare by not actively watching the child?

Reading between the lines here, but does 'off street parking" mean they intend to use the garden courtyard on a historic block as a parking lot?

Very interesting. The article forgets to mention that this building is on a landmarked block. It does have a carriage house in the back towards President Street that was turned into living space at one time. The driveway is actually just big enough for two cars, not more. The house, which at one time was a funeral home, has a title side yard, but there is no way that i can be turned into more parking without an outcry from the community.

Thanks you so much. Will certainly post the video. Love the glimpse of Smith Street in the late 90s. Do you know exactly where the barber shop used to be? By the looks, I would say it was where Refinery is now.
at 248 Smith Street?
Was it called Sal's? Thanks. - March 20, 2014 11:27 AM
I'm sorry, my memory isn't clear on the precise location but based upon the shot at the end of the film I think you may be correct. I do vividly recall Taddo saying, "Come on in! They made a movie about me ya know!" and generally having a very enjoyable time when I got my hair cut there, so I was glad to finally get to see the film online.

Katia- Pompette on Court between West 9th and Garnet closed after only being open for one year. You might want to check that out as well. It stinks that many businesses are closing in that location. It would be great to see some viable businesses there.

Hi Katia,
Do you have any update as to the renovation of St Mary's park on Smith and Huntington? The sign says that work should have been done by the end of winter 2013...
Thanks for your blog.
Matt F. - May 14, 2014 1:09 PM
- Katia said...
Hi Matt,
Apparently,the Transit Authority is footing the bill for the play area of the park. They have the money and will be putting the job out to bid soon. Construction will most likely start in the middle of next summer.
The City is going to try to fund the second part of the park.
Obviously, it is taking a bit longer than the sign indicates.
Cheers, Katia - May 14, 2014 2:43 PM

Hi Katia
I am wondering if you can poll your readers. Last night I was sitting on my stoop and a woman with a large dog came walking along. She was deeply involved with her iphone....and was allowing her dog to walk slowly along the fences When they got to my house, she allowed the dog to sniff for a while and then the dog proceeded to urinate on the ivy edging of my garden.
I politely asked her if she could avoid allowing her dog to urinate on my ivy as the dog urine is killing it in sections. She ignored me and stayed buried in her iphone. I repeated myself and then she got angry...told me I had to be realistic....told me dogs needed to be free... I responded she was being un-neighborly and that there were plenty of nuetral places for her dog to do his business without killing my ivy. She started babbling about dogs needing to be free...I told her if she wanted to allow her dog to kill plants she should allow him to go in front of her own house.
Am I being unreasonable here?

I will put the question out to my readers in a post. Don't be surprised if it generates quite a reaction pro and con. - June 17, 2014 1:13 PM

Tony's Hardware on Smith St closed on Saturday. Most of the store was cleared out but the remaining stock was 50% off. He said he planned to donate the rest. It was a great store since 1995 (and before that he worked at the now closed hardware store next door). He said he planned to retire but had no specific plans. His staff had moved on already to other jobs and I just saw him and one other person at Tony's working there.

Hello. Long time reader with a question. I've always wondered about a neighborhood regular in Carroll Gardens whom I've seen walking to the Carroll Street subway stop to work (I assume as he has a lunch bag with him.) He is elderly ( I was behind him at the cvs once when picking up a prescription and found out he is in his eighties) has white hair, wears a short white jacket in the spring and fall and a black coat in the winter, has a pronounced hunch and walks with a shuffle-like gait.
At least three to four times a week I pass him on the stairs at the Carroll Street stop as he heads to catch the F train.
I always wonder who he is and what's his story. (I imagine that he works at a place that was family owned ages ago in Manhattan and he sold it and now goes to work there just to keep himself busy and active) - April 19, 2015 9:55 AM
- Katia said...
I am afraid I don't know who you are describing. Perhaps other may know?

Re: do you carry an acoustic Guitar?
I've had my Guild on board for a year now but I am mostly at the dock, no humidifiers though. It is built like a brick shithouse and I have had no issues so far. When I cast off for longer periods than a couple of weeks at a time I may look into one of those carbon fiber guitars. I played one that I really liked and it would be nice to have a good guitar that I felt I could just leave lying about. I also have a cheap Epiphone acoustic that is my beach/boat/camping ax and right now the truss rod needs some tweaking.
I keep a couple of electrics on board as well, but store them ashore when off cruising. Which brings up a question for you cruising types. Do people bring electrics and small amps or just acoustics? Are there many opportunities for jamming? Gigging?

Save the Netravati: Eco-groups launch awareness drive by visiting schools, colleges and hostels
Environment enthusiasts in the city are grouping together to "save the Netravati" which they fear could "die" if the State government's ambitious plan to divert its water for parched regions is implemented.
Led by Vanya Charana Balaga (Forum of Forest Trekkers), they have already begun visiting schools, colleges and hostels to create awareness about the project being implemented under the name of Yettinahole Drinking Water Scheme.
The Balaga Convenor Dinesh Holla said groups such as Arehole Pratishthana, Mangalore City Rotaract Club have joined hands with his organisation in its efforts to spread awareness about the "sinister plan" of the State government. Madhav Ullal, who has planted many saplings in the city, is also supporting it.
Trigger Khader
Mr. Holla said the recent statement of Health Minister U.T. Khader suggesting that the scheme had the backing of 120 MLAs and a handful of MLAs from the region could do nothing to stop it prompted to take up the cudgels on behalf of the people of Dakshina Kannada. It was for the people now to raise their voice if at all the river has to be saved, Mr. Holla, a known name among trekkers, said.
He said people were ignorant about the scheme and believe that nothing would happen to the river — a lifeline for the district. Many thought Yettinahole scheme has little or nothing to do with the Netravati. Others thought that a dam – like the one in Thumbe which is the source of drinking water for Mangalore – will be built and that they need not bother about it.
But the volunteers of Balaga through presentations and talks in Puttur Madanthyar and a few institutions in Mangalore have tried to make people understand the gravity of the situation. With the help of other organisations the Balaga has plans to hold talks and discussions for many more groups.
He gave the example of villagers of Shishila stalling a mini hydel project three years ago. The villagers united once they were informed about the ill-effects of the project.
What is in the offing
Dinesh Holla, a line-draw artist and kite enthusiast of international exposure, said his Vanya Charana Balaga will make an artistic cut-out and a banner highlighting how Dakshina Kannada has benefited from Netravati. It will also show how all the benefits could be denied if the plans to divert Netravati waters materialise.
A public programme has been planned in front of DC Office and another at City Centre Mall. People will also get about 15,000 pamphlets and post cards, on which they can write their opinions and send to Chief Minister or other authorities.

PHILIPPIANS · Chapter 1
1:1 Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints
in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:
1:2 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the
Lord Jesus Christ.
1:3 I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,
1:4 Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with
1:5 For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now;
1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which has begun a good
work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
1:7 Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have
you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation
of the gospel, all of you all are partakers of my grace.
1:8 For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels
of Jesus Christ.
1:9 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more
and more in knowledge and in all judgment;
1:10 That all of you may approve things that are excellent; that all
of you may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ.
1:11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus
Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
1:12 But I would all of you should understand, brethren, that the things
which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the
1:13 So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and
in all other places;
1:14 And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds,
are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
1:15 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also
of good will:
1:16 The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing
to add affliction to my bonds:
1:17 But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the
defence of the gospel.
1:18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or
in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
1:19 For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer,
and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
1:20 According to my earn expectation and my hope, that in nothing
I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also
Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.
1:21 In order to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
1:22 But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet
what I shall choose I know not.
1:23 For I am in a strait between two, having a desire to depart, and
to be with Christ; which is far better:
1:24 Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more necessary for you.
1:25 And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue
with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith;
1:26 That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me
by my coming to you again.
1:27 Only let your conversation be as it becomes the gospel of Christ:
that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your
affairs, that all of you stand fast in one spirit, with one
mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
1:28 And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them
an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God.
1:29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to
believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;
1:30 Having the same conflict which all of you saw in me, and now hear
to be in me.

Comments Thread For: Denis Boytsov Targets an Early 2013 Ring Return
Unbeaten heavyweight contender Denis Boytsov (31-0, 25 KOs) is doing well after undergoing another elbow surgery which he had in November. The Russian fighter is still officially promoted by Universum Box-Promotion company, which made a declaration of bankruptcy a few weeks ago. Notwithstanding the reversals, Boytsov plans to fight a tune-up bout early next year, but the exact date of his return is unknown.

Scorch comments on Anschutz rimfire barrels going from short to long:
I don't think a longer sight radius gives better accuracy as the front sight still wobbles around the target the same amount angular wise regardless of sight radius. But the further away the front sight is when one's aiming eye is focusing on it, the sharper the target will appear.

PE= 1/2k(x1^2-x0^2) or the potential energy of the spring in the cocked position minus the potential energy of the spring in the uncocked position. The formula should look suspiciously like the KE formula since they both describe a function that looks suspiciously like the area of a triangle. |

abstract |
In this paper, a concept for usage of social network information as context information is proposed. Social network information (or information from social network sites) is considered as a specific type of a user's social context. We start with the potentially most widely accepted definition of context and then examine selected categorizations of context types, particularly focusing on social context. With an online survey we analyze the current usage pattern of social network site (SNS) and how the information available there is perceived by users. The results of the survey and subsequent analysis suggest that information about products and services from one's social network contacts is perceived by users as trustworthy and relevant. Finally, based on the empirical results, a concept for inclusion of social network information into context information is proposed. |

Red Bull Thre3Style: magMANimous from Denver takes home bronze
10.09.10 | Beta, Denver, CO
Red Bull has been steadily establishing a reputation for championing the artistic expressions of up and coming artists, and this evening was no different. At Beta this past Saturday night, the Red Bull Thre3Style brought ten DJs from across the country together in Denver to compete in the national finals for party rocking domination.
Cities represented included Dallas, Houston, Cincinnati -- home of the competition's only female deejay DJ, Apryl Reign -- St. Louis Phoenix, Los Angeles, New York, Pittsburgh, Orlando and, of course, Denver. Each DJ was given had fifteen minutes to create dance floor utopia, alternating between styles and genres, in hopes of impressing the judges, among them ?uestlove and DJ Jazzy Jeff, and ultimately moving on to compete in Paris against the best DJs in the world.
DJ Low Key set things off with a set of the kind of blazing, euphoria-inducing hip-hop he's become known for as both floors of Beta filled in. Drinks were flowing, and the atmosphere was ripe for partying. DJ magMANimous, aka DJ Vajra, the Mile High City's representative in the battle, was spotted easing his way through the throng amid fellow contenders such as DJR from Phoenix*, who had a fan wearing a helmet with a built in scroller bearing the message, "DJR is the best." Nice touch, albeit a little distracting, as he was stationed stage left for most of the evening.
As the DJs got busy behind the tables, songs from James Brown were notably prevalent in a number of their sets, namely cuts like "A Man's World" and "Get On Up," suggesting that many of these cats were cut from the same cloth.
There were several performances that stood out, including one from Pittsburgh's Bionics, who had everyone screaming long after his set ended. MagMANimous, meanwhile, brought finesse and substance to his routine and let his style and presence speak for itself, inciting the crowd with a few Rick James cuts and then flinging records like Frisbees into the audience.
The performance earned magMANimous a third place finish behind DJR, who exuded a great amount of charisma. His set was as much about the crowd as it was about the music. Deftly reading the energy of the room, he seemed to dropping the perfect tunes at the perfect time, giving an almost prescient performance.
As good as his showing was, however, it wasn't enough to best DJ M-Squared, who simply went off on the decks and had the audience losing their freaking minds as he cut and scratched and rocked until there was very little left of the dance floor. Wiping sweat from his brow several times throughout his fifteen minutes, he brought Orlando to the Mile High City, and it was live and direct.
*Ed note: An earlier version had DJR hailing from Los Angeles. This was based upon a flier used to fact check. Ru Johnson's original version listed him as being from Phoenix.

Strawberry Apple Sonker recipe with Dip
The original recipe called for this to be a Blackberry Sonker with Dip but the price of blackberries at the store was really expensive so I decided to go with a Strawberry Apple Sonker with Dip instead. It was absolutely amazing and you could easily substitute any type of berry or fruits like peach or pear instead to keep it seasonal.
- Filling
- 4½ half pints berries or fruit of your choice
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup arrowroot powder or cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Biscuit Topping
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
- ¾ cup buttermilk
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- Dip
- 2 cups whole milk
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder or cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Combine all the ingredients for the filling in a medium sized bowl. Stir until the dry ingredients are thoroughly mixed and the berries are well coated.
- Cover the bowl with a kitchen cloth and set aside for 15 minutes.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium sized bowl.
- Using a pastry blender or fork, cut the butter into cubes until the mixture is crumbly and the size of peas or smaller.
- Create a well in the center of the mixture. Pour in the buttermilk, and using a large spoon, gently incorporate just until all the dry ingredients are moistened. The mixture will look quite wet at this point but that's fine.
- Heat the milk in a medium sized saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a gentle boil.
- Whisk the sugar and starch in a small bowl to mix well, then add to the milk along with the vanilla extract, stirring until thoroughly blended and smooth.
- Reduce the heat under the saucepan to a gentle simmer and cook, uncovered 15 to 20 minutes until the mixture is reduced by half.
- Remove from the heat and transfer the dip to a pourable container. Cover and set aside while the sonker bakes.
I found this recipe in A Year of Pies: A seasonal tour of home baked pies by Ashley English.

As the temperature steamed toward 60 this weekend, one thought doesn't immediately leap to mind: Let's go skiing!
Resorts in the Poconos and elsewhere must be melting in the faux spring, the runs awash in mud, you say. Managers must be cursing the heavens, you say.
But what do you know?
Ski season is going pretty well, said Ryan Werst of Bear Creek Mountain Resort in Macungie, south of Allentown and about 55 miles from Philadelphia.
After less-than-frightful weather in early December forced a late start, most Pennsylvania ski areas report that business is not headed downhill - at least not yet.
They credit nighttime temperatures that were cold enough (below freezing) to build up a good base of snow and soften and freshen it when needed. That snow can hold them for about a week, until Mother Nature turns a colder shoulder to ski resorts and to neighborhoods where skiers live.
On the slopes we do have open, we can easily get through this warm week, said Rick Buckman, co-owner of the Spring Mountain Ski Area in Montgomery County's Spring Mount. But the challenge is people seeing a couple of 50-degree days and thinking we're not open.
When people do think of skiing, or tubing, or snowboarding, they come.
None of the resorts contacted would give revenue or attendance figures.
After the late start at Bear Creek, we got a week of snowmaking weather and we were able to open up, Werst said, adding that 20 of 21 trails are open.
Last week was one of the better weeks we've had in two years, said Chris Dudding, marketing director of Roundtop Mountain Resort in York County, about a two-hour drive from Philadelphia.
Of course, last winter didn't produce enough of the white stuff for even a mediocre snowball fight.
Last year was one of those years that started late and then it was very inconsistent, Dudding said.

Whether the Patriots should have received a pass interference or holding call on the final play of Monday night's game against the Panthers is very much in question. Whether the referees should have thrown a flag and then picked it up without explanation is not.
The Patriots were beside themselves after Monday night's game ended on a no-call — after a referee appeared to make a call against Luke Kuechly for holding Rob Gronkowski on the final pass attempt. A flag was tossed, but the officials scooped it up and then announced there was no flag on the play before trotting off the field.
That didn't sit well with Tom Brady. He already thought the Patriots should have gotten a penalty call, and his attention kicked up another notch after the flag was taken back and the referees declared the game over and started to leave.
Brady chased the officials toward the tunnel, and he could be heard making his opinion known — with a well placed F-bomb — on the ESPN broadcast.
The referees explained their reasoning after the game, but the damage was done for a Patriots team that has already lost once this year on an interesting call (against the Jets). While the non-call on Gronkowski will be endlessly debated, everyone can likely agree that it would have all gone down better had the original flag not been thrown and picked up without further reasoning — including Brady.
Check out Brady's choice comments in the GIF below, via Bleacher Report. (Click here for video of the incident, which includes questionable language.)
Looks like we're moving on to next week.
You just know Ty Law thinks he could pick off Peyton Manning once, maybe twice, Sunday if just given the chance.

Jackson County Places: Francitas
FRANCITAS, TEXAS. Francitas is on Farm Road 616 and the Missouri Pacific line in southeastern Jackson County. A small colony of French families settled in the area during the late 1890s, and soon thereafter railroad employees named the community Francitas. In 1909 representatives of the Valley Fruit Farm and Garden Company promoted the community by a public sale of town lots. In 1910 acreage purchased from Lafayette Ward, a local rancher, was surveyed into additional town lots and opened for settlement. The next year officials granted a post office to the community, and C. O. Hardy served as the first postmaster. By 1914 the community was a stop on the St. Louis, Brownsville and Mexico Railway. It had hardware and furniture stores, a bank, a weekly newspaper, and a telephone connection. The reported population of the community peaked at 300 in 1940, when the town also had three businesses. Its population fell to around 100 in the 1950s, grew to 200 by 1962, and then declined by 1988 to thirty, where it remained in 1990.

The college admissions process presents many challenges and can, at times, seem confusing, frustrating and disappointing. It can be both an exciting and stressful time for students and their families as hopes and dreams meet the reality of the always increasing competitive landscape. The college admissions process is neither transparent nor predictable – yet it is able to be managed. Whether students hope to attend a four-year college immediately or are considering other options post-graduation, the goal of the College/Counseling Department is to help each student find the match which best suits their needs.
At Bishop O'Connell, the College Counseling department works as a team with students and their families in preparing for future goals. We work carefully with each student throughout the process, encouraging him or her to approach the process as young adults, to take advantage of resources and advice and to find the best college matching each student's developing talents, passions and goals.Throughout their careers at O'Connell, students will be educated on how to assess their strengths, weaknesses, needs and values. Students will learn to take ownership of their academic experience and create a plan meeting their personal needs.
The College/Counseling Department will serve to help students in a number of ways:
As our seniors begin to think about colleges, we ask that they keep in mind there is no one "perfect" college. A school does not have value simply because it has a "name" or appears on a magazine's "Top Ten." Your college search is just that—yours. Students are encouraged to think about their goals, talents, accomplishments and interests before even beginning to evaluate a school to determine if it is right for them.
This is a very exciting time in the lives of young people and there have never been so many wonderful collegiate opportunities available. The college process should be a community effort with parents, teachers, advisors, counselors and friends all working together to support our young men and women as they begin to take control of their futures.
If you have questions or would like further information, please contact our office at 703-237-1460.

dc.description.abstract | This chapter looks at children's attitudes towards Travellers. It focuses on children in fourth class in primary school (i.e. aged 9-11 years) since it is at this stage that they are likely to be aware of socially and culturally constructed differences, and most likely to reflect parental and community attitudes towards such groups. Racist attitudes are increasingly topical since, although Ireland remains one of the more racially and ethnically homogeneous societies in Europe, this situation is changing rapidly. The arrival of refugees, asylum seekers, guest-workers and others in the mid-1990s has added in a new way to the ethnic diversity of a country where, in 1996, just under 7% of the population were born outside Ireland (CSO, 1998). However, despite newspaper headlines referring to an 'influx' of asylum seekers, according to the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform, Ireland received just 25,000 refugees and asylum seekers in 1999: among the smallest numerically and per capita in the EU. The anecdotal evidence of many of these recent arrivals suggests that racist attitudes and behaviour are prevalent here. At an individual level many have experienced verbal and sometimes physical attacks; organised opposition to them has been mounted by some communities; while their treatment by the State has been severely criticised by senior legal figures. | en_US |

Pussy Riot
Patti Smith
Plastic People Of The Universe
Patti Smith's pussy has been rioting for 4 decades now and this clip from 1978 is a reminder of just much of a rock warrior she was and has always been.
This all-too-brief clip is from a 1978 PBS television fundraiser, The Night Of The Empty Chairs, organized by Leonard Bernstein in support of Amnesty International and in protest of political oppression across the globe.
Patti began her performance by reading a poetic declaration from Czech band Plastic People Of The Universe, who had for many years experienced unrelenting oppression in their homeland.
In the sixties there was a piece called HUNDRED PER CENT that the Plastic People of the Universe writ. After a decade of harassment, censorship, mace, lice - they were arrested in the Spring of 1977. All their work - the technology of their work - everything built on blood and sweat, was confiscated, which brought another blow in the face, which mouths the tongue of love. Rock 'n' roll: the universal language of freedom.
In the harsh light of recent events involving Pussy Riot, these words have never seemed more timely or more true.
They're afraid of the old for their memory.
They're afraid of the young for their ideas - ideals.
They're afraid of funerals - of flowers - of workers -
of churches - of party members - of good times.
They're afraid of art - they're afraid of art.
They're afraid of language - communication.
They're afraid of theater.
They're afraid of film - of Pasolini - of God/dard.
of painters - of musicians - of stones and sculptors.They're afraid.
They're afraid of radio stations.
They're afraid of technology, free float form of
information. Paris Match - Telex - Guttenburg - Xerox
- IBM - wave lengths.
They're afraid of telephones.
They're afraid.
They're afraid to let the people in.
They're afraid to let the people out.
They're afraid of the left.
They're afraid of the right.
They're afraid of the sudden departure of Soviet
troops - of change in Moscow - of facing the strange -
of spies - of counterspies.
They're afraid.
They're afraid of their own police.
They're afraid of guitar players.
They're afraid of athletes - of Olympics - of the
Olympic spirit - of saints - of the innocence of
They're afraid.
They're afraid of political prisoners.
They're afraid of prisoners families - of conscience -
of science.
They're afraid of the future.
They're afraid of tomorrow's morning.
They're afraid of tomorrow's evening.
They're afraid of tomorrow.
They're afraid of the future.
They're afraid of stratocasters - of telecasters.
They're afraid of rock 'n' roll.
What does he mean, even rock bands? Even rock bands?
Rock bands more than anybody else suffer from
political repression.
They're afraid.
They're afraid of rock 'n' roll - of telecasters - of
stratocasters - of old age - in the streets - behind
the locked doors.
They're afraid of what they've written - of what
they've said - of fire - of water - of wind - of slow
- of snow - of love - excretion.
They're afraid of noise - of peace - of silence - of

Explore Guatemala Fact file Where to go When to go Getting there Getting around Accommodation Food and drink Health The media Festivals Sports and outdoor pursuits Culture and etiquette Shopping Living in Guatemala Travelling with children Travel essentials Share Guatemalan hotels come in all shapes and sizes, and unless you're really off the beaten track there's usually a good range of accommodation to choose from. There are bargains and bad deals at every level. Guatemala really is a budget-travellers' dream, and you should be able to find a clean double room for US$15 (or less) in any town in the country, except the capital. At the top end of the scale, you can stay in some magnificent colonial hotels decorated with real taste. In the mid-price bracket, you'll also find some brilliant places – you can still expect character and comfort, but perhaps without the service and facilities. Accommodation options have a bewildering assortment of names: hoteles, hosteles, pensiones, posadas, hospedajes and casas de huespedes. The names don't always mean a great deal, but budget places are usually called hospedajes and anything called a hotel is usually a bit upmarket. Virtually all the main travellers' centres have backpacker-style hostels with dormitories and a sociable vibe. Hostels Most Guatemalan hostels tend to be owned and often run by expats, and are geared-up to budget travellers' needs, with excellent travel information, grub and perhaps a bar. Try to avoid huge dormitories; the best places tend to have a maximum of eight beds. Some hostels offer single-sex dorms and also private rooms for couples. Hotel standards and facilities The cheapest hotels (below US$15) are simple and sparse, usually with a shared bathroom at the end of the corridor. In most towns, upwards of US$20 will give you a private bathroom with hot water. In the midrange (around US$40–60) your room should be comfortable and attractive, while for US$80 and up you can expect high standards of comfort and luxury, with facilities such as swimming pools, gyms and a restaurant. It's only in Petén, the Oriente and on the coasts that you'll need a fan or air-conditioning. In the highlands, some luxury hotels have logwood fires to keep out the winter chill. Mosquito nets are not that common, so if you plan to spend some time in Petén or by the coast, it's well worth investing in one. Camping Campsites are extremely few and far between. It's really not worth bringing a tent as there are only a handful of places in the entire country that offer a designated, secure place to camp. If you're planning to do a jungle hike or volcano climb, tour agencies will sort out tents (or hammocks and mosquito nets). Read More

Stretch Marks of Pregnancy (Striae of Pregnancy)
Information for adults
Dark purple, linear stretch marks (striae) are common on the belly of pregnant women.
Striae gravidarum, stretch marks in pregnancy, occur in about 90% of all pregnant women. They are primarily due to the rapid rate at which the skin is being stretched, combined with the influence of hormones.
Who's At Risk
Stretch marks in pregnancy usually occur in the third trimester, when the baby is growing the most. They occur more often in younger women, mothers carrying large infants, and in overweight or obese women. You have a higher risk of getting stretch marks during pregnancy if other members of your family have had them.
Signs and Symptoms
Stretch marks look like light pink to red to purple lines that mostly occur on the belly but can appear on the buttocks, breast, thighs, and upper arms.
Self-Care Guidelines
There are numerous products on the market that claim to help prevent stretch marks, but there is no accepted consensus among specialists determining what is effective. Based on a review of the medical literature, there have been two studies that compare different products to placebo (in this case, using a cream that contains no active ingredients). One study found that massage with Trofolastin cream (containing
Centella asiatica
extract, alpha tocopherol, and collagen-elastin hydrolysates) and verum ointment (containing tocopherol, panthenol, hyaluronic acid, elastin, and menthol) was associated with fewer women developing stretch marks. It is thought that the actual act of massage with any type of cream or ointment is beneficial to prevention of stretch marks, however.
When to Seek Medical Care
No therapy is necessary, as they will usually fade after delivery (postpartum).

Most stretch marks will become smaller postpartum and fade to pale flesh- or silver-colored lines over time. There are some treatments available, but their relative risks and expected benefits should be reviewed with your physician. Topical tretinoin (Retin-A®) or oral tretinoin have been used to treat dark stretch marks. These medications should not be used without using two forms of birth control, as they have been found to cause birth defects, and should not be used by lactating women. Dermabrasion has also been used by some. The pulsed dye laser (585nm) has also been found to be helpful in lightening stretch marks, but different people will have different responses.

Syria's Crackdown: "This Country Doesn't Run On Law"
Reports are emerging from Syria about security troops attacking thousands of anti-government protesters gathering to express anger on this 'Day of Rage'. The AP says Syrian security forces are shooting people in the coastal city of Latakia. The BBC notes Syrian civilians are furious over their treatment by police and are gathering after Friday prayers conclude today.
The Guardian is liveblogging developments, and featured 'Adnan's' story. He was detained and held for overnight and badly beaten for nearly 12 hours. Elderly men and young teenagers were also viciously attacked. Adnan says nothing stopped the jailers' beatings.
One 15-year-old boy asked me why we were there if the president had lifted the emergency law. I didn't know what to say: this country doesn't run on law. A man my age was crying. I asked him why. He told me he had heard his elderly father being beaten and he had begged them to beat him instead...They ignored him.
