By Pamela Beeman
I have some milestones coming up. In a month, I'll no longer be the parent of a teenager, and wow, I started that gig in 1995. Then sometime in fall of 2011—I'm debating doing the math to get an exact date—I will reach 100 cumulative years of parenting. That's 29+26+23+20 plus another half-year each from their spring birthdays. And while they were never all teenagers at the same time, I will have four 20-somethings for just under a year. Anyway, I'm thinking of giving myself a party: something like a Mega-Mother's Day, emphasis on the champagne.
Well. They have student employment, but no employment of a sort that permits them to take over their own, say, car insurance or medical benefits. No house in which to unload things I'm storing for them.
Evidence-based information: not done parenting when they move out at 18 ...
"Any day that I get to sing the Hallelujah Chorus with a big group of people is a good day." I posted this on Facebook and got more responses than probably ever—even my birthday.
It's a yearly choir festival, and I love it because not only does our own little church choir comport itself fairly admirably, but also because it's become a tradition to bring all the choirs together for a couple of final songs, one of which is the Hallelujah Chorus. (One of the Facebook responses likened it to musical Prozac.) So, 150 of us squeeze into the front of the LDS church and, even if you don't know the music so well, there are enough who do that it will carry you ... and this year, I even nailed that hard section of the alto part on the third page: Woot! Hang on, I am going somewhere with this.
I took Alice, my 25–year–old–daughter with Down syndrome with me this year, partly to get her out of the house and partly as an excuse not to bicycle. I did actually think she'd also enjoy the music, but as I was ducking into re- hearsal a little late, she took the opportunity of my divided attention to whisper she'd found a spot to listen to her own music where she wouldn't bother us, then took her CDs and headphones and left the room.
As rehearsal was winding down, it occurred to me I had no idea where she was. We were at a b-i-g church, with lots of doors with choirs practicing behind them. I checked everything that wasn't locked, and started to fume. We were first on the program and needed to get into our places, so that added fuel to the fume. I finally found her behind a random door and, whispering angry scolding, took her headphones and ordered her to get into the sanctuary (doesn't that sound good?) if she knew what was good for her.
I did see her trail in before we started singing. (I knew her huge binders of CDs wouldn't do her any good without the headphones. What was she doing bringing those to a concert, anyway?) Once the concert was over and the Handel Prozac started wearing off, we had our discussion.
"Alice, how could you? I had no idea where you were!"
"But mom, I was in room 13. My birthday is the 13th!"
"Yes, Alice, but how would I know you were in room 13?"
"Well, it's the same room Trip and Russell and I waited in when we came with you and dad a few years ago."
"Still, Alice, I didn't know that. I. Did. Not. Know. Where. You. Were." I'm hissing now, but at least not shouting. I wish I could say it was because of restraint, but it was because I had lost my voice during the singing.
OK, I do know that theory of mind is a developmental trajectory. I have, in fact, given Alice the TM portions of the NEPSY, only partly because I wanted to practice the test administration. Alice's Theory of Mind falls below the second percentile for her age. She cannot understand that I don't know what room she is in. She knows what room she is in, and for heaven's sake, it's room 13. Her birthday, duh.
Sadly, this knowledge has not "informed my practice" so to speak. We continue to browbeat Alice about showing some understanding for what other people are going through. "Alice, you are making me late for work!"
"But Mom, my bus doesn't come for another hour! I'm not late." It's a little tricky because she does show lots of emotional understanding: If somebody is sad, she's sympathetic and protective; if they're successful, she's proud and thrilled. This is evidently stored in another area of the brain, or at another level of that developmental trajectory.
We'll just both try to keep trajecting. Hallelujah.

I am very new to Slimming World and when out shopping today I stopped in nando's for lunch, trying to be good I got a half chicken & removed the skin so the Syns would be minimal and as a side ordered the Sweet Potato Mash. I believed that this would be a superfree food as it was obviously a veggie. However When I now checked the slimmign world website it states the mash is a terrible option because it's got other ingredients mixed in with it. What it doesn't say however is how many Syns it actually includes.
I have tried searching the website for actual numbers to no avail.
Can anyone help me?

Publisher's Description+
Set during the most trying years of the war, 1942-1945, Medal of Honor Allied Assault™ gives players a sense of the courage it took to survive the landings at Normandy, the assault at Arzew, a rendezvous with the Resistance outside the village of St. Lo, and the push through the heavily defended border of Germany itself to take the bridge at Remagen.
In Medal of Honor Allied Assault, you are Lt. Mike Powell, member of the famed 1st Ranger Battalion. Following your recruitment by the OSS, you'll battle through over 20 challenging levels, based on historical military campaigns of World War II.
The seeds of World War II are sown at the end of World War I; the treaties signed at the end of the Great War satisfy neither the victors nor the vanquished. Social, political, and economic changes nurture these seeds over the next 21 years, until they germinate in Poland. Barely 20 years after the "war to end all wars," German dictator Adolph Hitler plunges the world into a war that will take the lives of 50 million people.
In the months following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States is in no position to actively pursue the war in Europe. Its army is far below the strength required for the task, there are no U.S. forces in Europe, and the shipping needed to transport a massive invasion force does not exist.
Despite these problems, and within a month of the attack on Pearl Harbor, Churchill meets with Roosevelt at the Arcadia Conference in Washington, D.C., where they agree on a "beat Germany first" strategy. The American leadership acknowledges that the bulk of Allied ground forces will have to confront the German threat as soon and as decisively as possible. From Pearl Harbor to D-Day, American determination to confront the German army never wavers, but events make it clear that half-measures will not lead to victory.
In particular, the disastrous British & Canadian raid on the French port of Dieppe in August 1942, in which half of the attacking force of 6,000 Allied troops become casualties, shows that only a massive, coordinated Allied invasion will provide a firm foothold on the continent. Lieutenant General Albert Wedemeyer of the U.S. Army had reached the same conclusion three months before the Pearl Harbor attack. His "Victory Program" calls for a massive invasion of northwest Europe and a decisive confrontation with the German army. As elaborated by Generals Eisenhower and Marshall, it becomes the nucleus of Operation Overlord, with the invasion date initially set for April 1, 1943.
Dieppe changes all that. It is clear that an adequate buildup for Overlord will take longer than the Allies have hoped. In the interim the Americans agree to participate in joint operations in North Africa, Sicily, and Italy. At the Trident Conference, held in Washington, D.C., in May 1943, the date for the Allied invasion of France is tentatively reset for May 1, 1944. In the intervening year, the biggest buildup of men and materiel ever assembled for a military operation takes place in England.

4th grade was the best year ever so get ready for the best ride of your life, between reading a book and watching the movie and going to the Museum of Science and Industry.
One thing we did in 4th grade was read the book The Witches, actually Mr. Edwards read it. As he read we were allowed to draw the pictures we saw in our minds. Not only that but after we were done reading The Witches we got to watch the movie It was cool to see the differences between the book and the movie. Another very fun thing we did was go to the Museum of Science and Industry. First we went to make Simple Machines which was what we were talking about. Next we went to the Idea Factory where there was this one thing that you put a plastic ball up a tube and the air would move the ball to this cool little pirate ship. After that we got to go explore anything we wanted to. I went and saw this really cool tsunami if you wanted to make it big wave you would make the wave big on this computer and then there was a really big wave. Last we went to see baby chicks, some were just hatching and others were running around like crazy, they were so cute.
To me 4th grade is the best grade to be in and I wish I could be in it again!

The picture I chose is picture number 3. This lever is a simple machine. These students found out that when you put the fulcrum which is the point where it holds the lever in place. To use the lever the fulcrum has to be closer to the weight that you want to lift up, not the person trying to lift the weight, because it is harder to lift something if the fulcrum is closer to you.

I think this is a picture trying to tell me that the boats are like the countries. In the picture the boats Europe and Asia are sinking and the boat with uncle Sam is still floating. This is because the other countries are failing with food, economy and money and America is the new place to settle. The people on the boat seem grumpy because of the way their land is and don't know how good america will be for them.

She also lived in Lake Forest, Illinois which is really close to where I live now. That is why I would choose to do the upper class girl!!

Over Spring Break I celebrated Passover Passover is a holiday that Jewish people celebrate. We had a Seder which is when you have a dinner with lots of different foods. My grandma and her friend came and had the Seder with everyone in my
During the Seder we read from a book called the hagadah. In the book we read the four questions. Becca my sister and I read the four questions because the youngest are supposed to read them.
Eliza is a "person" who comes to your house during the Seder. You put out a cup of wine for her and she drinks it. My mom filled the cup up all the way and later it was only halfway full. Though the only reason she can drink the wine is because we left the door open for her to come. Last my dad hid the matzah so we could find it. It's a tradition to do. My brother found it first then I found it last my sister did. We each got five dollars. Normally we get two dollar bills but since my uncle wasn't there we got five dollar bills.
That is some of the things I did over Spring Break

Right now I will be your master and get in your head and persuade you to listen to what I say but if I say to forget something you better do it. You say I am invading your private little heads mind well I'm not I just want you to read this story. Submit this into your mind and think deep about everything, now clear your whole mind. Yes clear it completely. Now you must decide something that you would have know two seconds ago if you didn't clear your mind when I asked. Would you like to hear what you have to decide well when you cleared your mind I did the same because if I don't then... So I don't know what you have to decide. guess what I am now I'm your fortune teller and lets see what happens ooooooo you will collide right into someone and you head will divide in half. Then when you die your bones will erode into the street. Many people will emit you when you play basketball because you are a ball hog.I come to an conclusion with my story and heads up boing sorry I didn't mean put your head up I meant watch out.

This story was about Aliki Graft and what she loves to do which is art. She draws Phineas and Ferb for Disney Channel. People who help her draw is her grandpa, because he got her into loving drawing, also the person who draws Phineas and Ferb with her because he keeps her coming up with ideas. hersef because she is the one pushing herself so she can reach her goals. I learned that she makes up some of the songs in Phineas and Ferb which is really neat. She used to work for Nickalodean before she came to Disney Channel. She draws most of the cartoons in Phineas and Ferb. She also went and studied art at USC. I think it's important that she followed her dream because when you love something you should keep at it. Art shows importance to her life because she loves to do it and she has done it her whole life. I want to know what she did in her past I want to do what she does. Maybe I will go to the collage that she went to so it would be good to know somebody went their.

The main idea was that just because your dad is famous doesn't mean you can't be a normal family. I found this because it said they love to take their dog Bo [their dog] on walks as a family. It also said that they go sledding outside with their mom. I think the author wrote this because they tell all the people who think that they just rome around their house, that they don't. They have fun and do what a normal family out in the middle of Wisconsin might do.

Stealing Home A Story of Jackie Robinson is about an African American boy who was never treated with any respect not even when he was playing sports [ he was really good at sports] because he was a different color than white. When Jackie starts to play baseball in the black leagues a guy named Branch Rickey wanted some good p;ayers for the Dodgers team and he didn't care what color they were. He got Jackie Robinson as a good ball player so he told some of his players to go and watch. When they tell Mr. Rickey he calls up Jackie and has a meeting with him. When Jackie says he will join, well a black playing in the white major leagues is pretty amazing. Jackie could change life history forever.
Reading this book made me feel sad sometimes because I know that if I were black at that time I wouldn't want to be treated that way if you were white back then think about how you would like it if you were being treated how they were. I was happy when jackie was playing sports because he was good at them it made me like he was the superhero because he did what he was good at. Also when he excepted to play for the Dodgers because he was going to help move the country forward to how it is today. I would give this book 10 out of 10 stars because it was really fun to learn about past history and how just one brave colored person could be so intelligent at that time to know that just because you're black doesn't mean you can't do anything whites can't

Cover is excellent. Received on time. Well packaged. Easy to install. Covers well. An exact fit. Getting the feel for the reinstall takes some time. You never quite repack the cover as it comes from the factory.

This is my second Noah cover; the last one was for a 03 SVT Mustang Cobra. This one fits the G37 like a glove. It fully tucks under bumpers, and I really don't think a moderate wind would blow it off, even without the tying it down. What I like most about these covers is how they handle water. First it beads off and only gets soaked if there is a constant shower. Either way, if dries very quickly and also is breathable so moisture isn't trapped. Not cheap, but great protection for an outdoor car

How to Make Duck Broth (plus video!)by Sarah TheHealthyHomeEconomist
We roasted two ducks for Christmas dinner this year. As luck would have it, I was able to source them for the fantastic price. For such a gourmet dinner choice, they turned out less expensive than the local chickens I buy!
Duck is a much fattier bird than turkey or chicken. One great benefit of roasting a fatty bird like duck or goose is that you can cook it at a higher temperature, so the meal is ready faster, yet there is little risk of dried out meat.
We baste our duck while it is cooking in honey water. This glazes the meat beautifully and results in the most out of this world crispy duck skin you've ever tasted.
There is much less meat to be had on a duck versus a turkey, but you get a ton of duck fat in return. I save this wonderfully healthy, nutritious, tasty fat in a glass container in the fridge and use it for weeks later to season roast vegetables. My children never turn down vegetables roasted in duck fat. They are simply too delicious to resist (even more tasty than veggies cooked in butter if that is possible)!
Duck also happens to make the most delectable bone broth! In this video, I discuss tips for roasting a duck and making duck broth or clear duck stock in your own kitchen.

Video: No School, Snow = Lots Of Sledding Fun
GREENSBORO, N.C. -- What do you do when you have a day off of school and there's snow? You go sledding!
WFMY News 2, found kids armed with their sleds ready to hit the steepest hills in the Triad Wednesday afternoon. Some kids looked like pros going down the big hills at Mendenhall Middle school on Willoughby Boulevard in Greensboro. These kids mostly showed "no fear" while jumping onto their sleds for a little snow fun.
We saw all kinds of sleds including homemade and saucers. Bottom line for these kids it's about having lots of fun.
The spot is known around the City for its sledding adventures when it snows.

A fan-produced mod that RWS included in its Fudge Pack compilation. Using the basic Postal 2 engine and elements, the game features completely new maps and a horror-based storyline that puts the player into the role of an escapee from a mental asylum similar to Manhunt 2. The zombies from Apocalypse Weekend play a major role in this modification, including a brand-new zombie (exclusive to Eternal Damnation) that resembles the plastinates of Body Worlds.

One of the best Postal 2 mods by far. The detailed levels and lack of bugs make this game easier to run than all other Postal 2 mods I have played. Contains the gore, sick humor, and violence worthy of the game it was modded for. P.S. Don't play this around ur gf or family (contains nudity)

The gameplay is fun, music fits very well (Thanks to Neurological, check his work on Dead Epidemic mod for Land Of The Dead as well!), the level design very well done, and AI not too bad.

Eggs recalled in 34 states
Image by File Photo - Associated Press
Web Producer: Laura Kittell
MINNETONKA, Minn. (AP) - A Minnesota food company is widening its recall of hard-cooked eggs because of a potential for listeria contamination.
Michael Foods, of Minnetonka, is recalling eggs in brine sold in 10- and 25-pound pails for institutional use in 34 states. The eggs carry six brand names: Columbia Valley Farms, GFS, Glenview Farms, Papetti's, Silverbrook and Wholesome Farms.
Only lot codes immediately preceded by a "1" AND ending in a "W" are affected, please see the following example: USE BY 11 FEB 12 1 LOT 1362 W
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration says the eggs were produced at Michael Foods' plant in Wakefield, Neb., and were bought by food distributors and manufacturers. There have been no reports of illness connected to the eggs. But, the company says the eggs have the potential to be contaminated with a strain of listeria that can cause serious infections in those with weaker immune systems.

Senators attending this week's hearing entitled "Beyond Silk Road: Potential Risks, Threats and Promises of Virtual Currencies" being held by the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee likely could have predicted what they were going to hear. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) made the case that the increasingly popular cryptocurrency, the Bitcoin, was actually a security and should be regulated; the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had already adopted an "aggressive posture" to address the "emerging threat and criminal exploitation of virtual currency systems"; and the Treasury Department had recently produced two rules on how exchanges should handle the Bitcoin.
Two government agencies missing at the hearing were the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The IRS apparently can't figure out how to tax private transactions between people who may reside in different countries doing business in the ether, while the CFTC is still trying to determine if the Bitcoin is a commodity to regulate.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) warned about how the Bitcoin enables money laundering, illicit tax shelters, and anonymous purchasers of illegal drugs, child pornography, and stolen credit card information. Said Mythili Raman, a DOJ assistant attorney general, the growth in the use of the Bitcoin "inevitably will be accompanied by an increase in illicit transactions, which makes it critical that virtual currency [exchanges] understand their legal obligations and requirements."
Other supporters of regulating the Bitcoin were also heard, including Jeremy Allaire, founder and CEO of Circle Internet Financial, whose company would benefit in its quest to make Bitcoin transactions easier and consequently more popular if the budding industry were only more closely regulated. Said Allaire:
Criminals and terrorists will seek to employ digital currency if it remains unregulated, leaving Bitcoin operators to operate without stringent controls and effective systems to verify identities, monitor transactions and report suspicious activity.
Allaire's company would be only too happy to provide to the various regulatory agencies salivating over the Bitcoin opportunity all of that information, for a small fee of course.
The senators also heard from Patrick Murck of the Bitcoin Foundation. Murck pointed out the potentially enormous benefits such a digital currency could bestow on customers and clients worldwide:

Wall St. Debt Knell
September 22, 2008
Nicole Gelinas
UNCLE Sam is acting not out of cool rationality but out of hot terror.
In defense of the proposed $700 billion at tempt to salvage what's left of the financial-services industry last week, President Bush said that "this is a big price tag because it's a big problem."
Thing is, it's not clear this is a solution. There's no guarantee that even this much cash can buy us out of a systemic financial crisis. Even if it does, we probably face years of necessary financial and economic readjustment.
Consider: In the space of six months, the feds have bailed out bits and pieces of the financial sector, starting with protecting investment bank Bear Stearns' private lenders in March and ending, most recently, with the $85 billion loan to insurance giant AIG.
Yet all the might of the federal government couldn't stop the global markets from rendering their verdict, anyway: The American financial sector was and still is a toxic soup.
Last week, the markets put their final seal on that verdict: Investors large and small, domestic and international started pulling their money in droves out of the last pillar of the private credit markets: the money markets.
Many people and institutions have long treated such funds as "safe" savings accounts, even though they weren't insured by the feds, because they invest in only the highest-quality short-term debtcorporate, bank and government.
But no more. Midweek brought news that two such funds had lost value due to their investment in Lehman Brothersonly the second and third time such a thing had happened in the funds' four-decade history. Another fund had to close up shop because so many investors wanted their money back.
Overall, Americans pulled 5 percent of their assets out of this $3.4 trillion market in one week.
More pullouts would force the funds to sell more of their debt investments, pushing their values down further, causing more losses.
That threatened disaster for a market that provides lifeblood to the economynamely regular financing for all kinds of entities, from credit-card companies to auto lenders and down to you and me.
Without money markets, the US economy would grind to a haltand then quickly go backward.
So the White House announced that it would guarantee the value of those funds.
To find a precedent, you have to go back to 1933when the Hoover administration in its waning days hastily signed a law temporarily guaranteeing bank deposits so that savers would stop fleeing the system. (This later became the permanent FDIC, showing what kind of sea changes we're dealing with here.)
Back then, one congressman said, "The United States today is on the brink of economic and financial chaos." That's just as true today.
The government's actionand the fact that the markets forced it to actchanges everything. The feds capped off the painful end of a long era in which sophisticated banks and ordinary Americans took for granted investing nimbly and pretty much safely (or so they thought!) in lightly regulated debt. Their confidence and the government's hands-off attitude helped make up the backbone of the modern capital markets.
Those markets, the thinking went, didn't have to be heavily regulated or insured, as long as the core banking system - your old, real savings accountwas carefully regulated and safe.
The uninsured money markets were the last and most essential part of that backbone to disintegrate over the last 18 months.
First went the business of complex debt securitizationthe idea that banks could engineer away risk through structured finance, that they could sell fail-safe "collateralized debt obligations" of things like mortgages and credit-card balances and the like to sophisticated global investors who knew what they were getting into.
Next was the demise of "structured investment vehicles"bank-related funds that provided much of the demand for that securitized debt. They died when jittery investors stopped funding them last year. When the funding stopped, banks had to take this debt onto their own books; stuck with so many old, bad deals, they lost much of their ability to do new lending. This, too, showed that yet another financial-engineering innovation had turned out to be far riskier than anyone had thought.
Then there were the auction-rate securities markets, through which many government agencies and financial institutions raised money. Many people and institutions had treated auction-rate securities as if they were as safe and easy as cashbut it turned out that wasn't the case, either.
All this culminated in the feds' rescue of the "ultrasafe" money marketsand that was all that was left. Lending on this side of the Atlantic has basically stopped.
But if it does, what comes next?
The proposed $700 billion rescue package, in which the Treasury hopes to buy up mortgage-backed securities and the like from surviving financial institution, isn't a long-term solution to anything. At best (and at high cost), if the government buys such securities at a premium, it could prevent some big institutions from taking the losses they're due and going bankrupt.
And make no mistake: These are real losses. When a bank lends someone making five figures a half-million-dollar mortgage on a house that's worth maybe $200,000, that loan, in the cold light of day, is worth less than 50 percent on the dollarfar less when you think of the bank's cost of foreclosing on and maintaining the house until it can be resold at a realistic price.
These losses are only a symptom, though. The problem is that the financial sector, a key engine of the US economy and one of our key exports, appears irretrievably broken. It is only operating now because of government intervention so heavy that it borders on nationalization.
The US financial sector, in other words, is now Amtrak.
It's not the end of capitalism; instead, it's capitalism saying that, in its current form, the financial sector doesn't work. Seven hundred billion dollars can't fix that.

� Christine Till The Chicago Harbor Lighthouse is the city's only remaining lighthouse (and one of only two lighthouses in Illinois). Built in 1893 and relocated to the breakwater in 1919, the Chicago Harbor Lightwas originally built at the Chicago River entrance. While fully automated in 1979, the light still exhibits its original prize winning Third Order Fresnel lens, and while most of today's vessels use Loran, Radar or GPS to find their way into the safety of Chicago Harbor, the proud tower still displays its reassuring beam to welcome mariners to the Windy City. Chicago Harbor Light stood watch over Chicago Harbor and watched the city grow from a small military outpost to the third-largest city in the United States.

Submissions FAQs
Please read full submissions guidelines below the FAQ.
We do NOT accept currently published books. This includes with another publisher and/or self published. Your book cannot not be available for sale anywhere on the web.
|Do I need an agent to submit to eXtasy or Devine?
|No, you do not.
|What is the required heat level?
|Please look at our flame clarification. 2 Flames or less would be suitable for Devine Destinies. We also publish YA and Children's books at Devine.
|What is your 'turn around' time?
|Careful reading of all submissions takes time, but the company will endeavor to respond within 4 weeks. If, after 4 weeks, you haven't received a response, please email the company.
|How long before my story is published?
|eXtasy cannot give you a set timeframe. Each author and work is unique. Some work may require more editing than others, or there may be 'glitches' in the process beyond our control. No author favoritism will influence the process.
|I have a book that has been previously published. Can I submit it to eXtasy?
|Yes, provided that you hold all the rights to the story. We will need proof of this at the time of submitting the proposal. We would also like to know why you want a second chance with this book. e.g., did you find that it didn't sell well (if so, why? – e.g., was it submitted to the 'wrong' publisher and promoted in the wrong market. How would you promote it differently?) Did the publisher go out of business? Works that have been accepted for one market may not find a home in eXtasy without substantial re-writing. It might be easier to write a new book. However, if you feel that the book is worth the effort and a second chance, then we will consider it via the usual submission process, but the editor-in-chief will scrutinize the work even more closely than a 'new' work.
|What marketing and promotional strategies has the company in place to promote my book and me (the author)?
|eXtasy has many strategies to promote the company and the author and his/her work. From internet magazines, chat lists to print magazines, attendances at conferences and fairs where eXtasy's and Devine's books would be at 'home'. We will work with an author to help maximize the work and the author's exposure in the mainstream. However, we also expect authors to have their own strategies and networks to promote themselves and their work. If there is a relevant conference of 'fair' or event in their home town, then we would expect the author to have an appearance scheduled. Libraries, bookshops, etc. are other venues for marketing and promotion. Remember: what comes out of a venture is equal to what is put in. Put nothing in and expect nothing.
|How will I be paid?
|This is detailed in the contract. Payments will be made into your paypal account. We do not pay using bank cheques, etc.
|At eXtasy and Devine, what is the publishing process?
Each author and work will be treated differently, but here following is the basic structure: Upon receipt of your query (5 chapters, synopsis and query letter) it is sent to an editor to read.
If this editor thinks the story has potential, he or she will inform the EIC.
If the company wants to see more, you will be requested to send the full manuscript.
Upon receipt, the complete work will then be sent to an editor-in-chief to read.
If accepted, a contract will be forwarded to the author, together with an 'author information form'.
Once the author has returned 2 signed copies of the contract, the work will then be sent to the line editor who will work closely with the author to polish the work to the highest standard.
The author will be required to complete and send to eXtasy an 'author information form' – containing tag line, back cover blurb and suggestions for cover art.
Once edits are completed, the manuscript will then be sent to an editor-in-chief for final reading who may make further suggestions or accept the work as presented.
Once the final edit has been approved, a 'galley' will be prepared and sent to the author for final reading – for typos, etc. This is NOT the time to do more re-writing.
Author and cover artists will work together to produce cover art that complements the book (but eXtasy reserves the right to have final say on the cover art).
Once the galley is prepared and accepted, the work will be passed on to the editor-in-chief who will prepare the work into its publishing formats.
The book will then be posted on the website.
Books will be listed with several third party resellers.
As you can see the process is both long and involved. Books aren't written overnight, and they don't get published overnight – at least not in this company where quality control is the over-riding consideration.
|How many books a month will eXtasy publish?
|That depends on the number of works submitted and the publishing process as detailed above. At this point we do not plan to publish more than 20 books a month, but this may increase in the future. At Devine we publish 4 to 6 books a month.
|Will my book go to print?
This will depend on:
The sales figures for the book as e-book and show of author's willingness to market.
At this point electronic books are outselling print books.
|I have read the submission guidelines, I am still not certain what sort of books you are seeking. Can you name any authors I can read to get inspiration?
If you aren't familiar enough with any of the genres or sub-genres listed, then the chances are that you don't know enough about these concepts to write a book that eXtasy or Devine Destinies would accept. We aren't asking for 'run-of-the-mill' stories with 'window-dressing'.
If you aren't certain about a story idea you, then you can email us with an outline and we can advise whether it's something you can pursue with us (without intention to buy sight unseen, of course!), or if we wouldn't be interested.
We do not want formula, be it romance or otherwise.
|Anything else you could suggest to a writer who would like to be published with eXtasy?
Forget the 'tried and true' formula. (Yes, every commercial fiction has formula – i.e., reader expectations). eXtasy books must have strong plots, strong characters and fantastic worlds. Tell your story in a unique, compassionate, compelling style with characters who are strong (and vulnerable) and we might be interested … Push the boundaries!
We are not interested in reading works that have descriptive violence, and/or raunchy sex (porn)– stories that contain such have little to offer the discerning reader who forms the readership of eXtasy. If you want this sort of work – to either read or write – there are other publishers you can pursue.
|You rejected my work, would you be interested in seeing a re-write?
This will be discussed at time of rejection. If we feel that the story has 'potential', then we will say so and offer you the chance to resubmit once you have re-written it. We will not consider work –whatever the potential – if it is poorly written, has spelling and grammatical mistakes or other writing flaws (POV slips or purple prose, or whatever!) because this work will require substantial editing and we do not have the time to teach you the craft – if you want to write professionally, then you have to learn the craft. Editors in every top publishing house do not re-write books, they edit books.
We at eXtasy Books are proud of the reputation we have earned for the quality of both our novels and shorter works. This doesn't happen by accident.
We accept submissions in all the sub-genres: romance, sensual romance, YA, BDSM, G/L/B, interracial, African/American, Alternate Lifestyles, Science Fiction, Gay/Lesbian, and any and all combinations thereof. We embrace the unusual and original, and are interested in all heat levels. If it's outside the box, feel free to send it.
Approximate required word count:
We do NOT accept simultaneous submissions.
I'm sorry. eXtasy replies within two weeks to a query or submission so you're not left hanging. It is a waste of our valuable time for us to read a submission, only to hear, "Thank you, but we have already signed with another publisher."
We do NOT accept works that include:
Do NOT rely on your spell checker.
Manuscripts should be prepared as follows (we expect authors to use a version of MS Word and will not open and non-MS Word doc):
Q: Will you accept previously published books?
A: Only if you give us new material as well and we must have a document stating that the book was legally released from previous publication.

text: Rescuers work quickly to assess the condition of a 'victim' discovered in a simulated mine accident Wednesday morning. The scenario is one of many tests during the annual Rocky Mountain Coal Mine Rescue Association competition held at Mont Harmon Junior High School. Teams from across the West travel to Price to see who's the best among the many well-trained groups and individuals. Although all the problems encountered are staged and the miners compete for awards, this is no game. Rescuers are the ones who go into a coal mine when all the other miners are being evacuated in an emergency.

Last Tuesday, I went to Village Voice's Choice Eats event. I describe this event as my Christmas – so many samples you get to try from different restaurants all over the city. I ate my way through 80+ food vendors, but here's my top 5 that I recommend you check out:
- Ample Hills Creamery: My god. This was my favorite sample by far of the night. In fact, I went up for seconds. This ice cream was so creamy, and the salted crack caramel was that perfect sweet and salty combination. Best of all, it tasted like it had little bits of heath bar in it – but come to find out, it was crack cookies – made with saltines, butter, sugar and chocolate. Run to Prospect Heights, Brooklyn now to give this place a try.
- Fonda: This East Village (and Park Slope) location serve cochinita pibil, which was Yuctan style achiote marinated slow baked pork shoulder served on a tortilla chip. The pork had a really nice kick to it!
- Fletcher's Brooklyn Barbecue: I liked this Gowanus spot for two reasons. 1). The guys serving the barbecue were drinking bud heavy while cutting up the 2). delicious burnt ends. So yummy and didn't even need barbecue sauce.
- Pete Zaaz: These folks from Crown Heights got an A+ from me for creativity. Potato pizza, served in an egg roll. It was like all my favorite things combined into one.
- Luke's Lobster: These buttered crab rolls melted in your mouth. Was definitely worth the wait! Year after year, Luke's always does a good job at these events, and I liked that they served something different this year – usually it has been a shrimp roll.
Bummed you missed out? Tickets for Choice Streets, held May 7 from 8-10pm on the Intrepid, are on sale this Wednesday. Choice Streets will allow you to sample from different food trucks – and if you don't want to wait in long lines, I'd advise buying a VIP ticket. This way, you can sample everything without worrying about any trucks running out (it does happen). Hope you can make it!

LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) — Plagued by worries over the debt drama stateside and abroad, shares fell quietly Monday. To some extent, the decline is believed to be as much related to this backdrop as it is a simple need to digest a rally that included the weightiest eight-day rise in about two years.
Technically, a retracement of one-third to two-thirds of a price advance in any market and on any timeframe is considered normal. The Nasdaq Composite's COMP, +0.17% current retracement is about 49% of its June-July advance.

The 50,000-foot view is that of a bull that is nearly two-and-a-half years old. The average bull lasts roughly three years, depending upon how one measures it. The average bear ranges from nine to 18 months in length. Put these together and you have a complete four-year market cycle. This is but an average, and some bulls last longer (e.g. the '90-'98 bull) and some shorter.
Back to 1987
for stocks?
Our Trading Deck has been home to a spirited debate over whether we're in for a crash.
• L.A. Little: Don't worry | Michael Gayed: Worry
• The warning signs of a 1987-style crash
• Hulbert: Stocks as overvalued as at 2007 high
It is to be noted that the heftiest gains in a bull market normally occur in the first year or two. The third year, which is the year the market is currently in, is often typified by a churning, sideways market making marginal new highs in grudging fashion. The recent behavior begins to remind us of this process.
Along these lines, the two most reliable long-term indicators for decades for determining a bull market's maturity were: 1) interest rates and their equity market proxies, and 2) momentum.
As for rates, in most bull markets long-term yields would bottom and begin to rise some months prior to the top in shares. This occurred as bond participants began to sniff out the risk of higher inflation, which of course eats into the income thrown off by fixed-rate paper. The Federal Reserve would also begin to raise its federal funds rate target after a series of cuts.
In addition, interest-rate proxies in the share market, such as utilities, banks, brokers, and insurers, would peak some months in advance of the ultimate bull market top in equities.
In the current bull market, the post-Lehman stimulus has distorted interest rates, and thus it is questionable as to whether they should be used as a leading indicator of a bull market top in shares.
Interest-sensitive proxies, however, especially the brokers, still carry weight here. The below chart shows how the brokerage group peaked Feb. 18 (point "A"), ahead of the May 2 peak in the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.28%
Another good leading indicator for decades, the NYSE Financial Index, also peaked on Feb. 18.
Besides interest rates and their proxies, the second reliable group of leading indicators of a bull market top has been momentum, or the internal strength of an advance. The cumulative NYSE advance-decline line has historically peaked some months ahead of a peak in the Industrials. Unfortunately, the popularity of exchange-traded funds appears to have distorted the daily advance-decline data. It is doubtful that this indicator will return anytime soon to its former place as a dependable leading indicator.

Trolley waits rise for Irish A&E patients, warn unions
Almost 25,000 patients have been left to wait on trolleys in Irish hospitals during the last three months, according to nursing unions.
The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation has assessed its trolley watch figures for the first three months of each of the last six years,
The INMO says it has recorded the figures at 8am in the same manner, every week day, since 2004.
It claims the latest assessment shows that a record of almost 25,000 people were on trolleys, awaiting a bed, in the country's accident and emergency departments during January, February and March.
The union has been campaigning against the closure of hospital beds over recent years, which it describes as having created a "chronic situation" that will get worse if ministers fail to halt service cuts.
INMO general secretary Liam Doran said: "This quarterly survey only reaffirms the need for immediate, effective and sustained measures to be introduced, which must include additional bed capacity, in order to alleviate this problem."

BOWLING GREEN, Ky (WBKO) A late night fire destroyed most of a Bowling Green strip mall Sunday.
Fire officials say they got a call around 10:30 Sunday night about a fire just off of Old Porter Pike near Louisville Road.
Along with battling the flames, firefighters had to deal with sleet and freezing temperatures.
One fire truck even got stuck, because of the road conditions.
The fire burned about 80% of the strip mall, but it's unclear how many businesses are affected.
Luckily, no one was injured.
Fire officials say they do not know the cause of the fire and because of the weather, it could take investigators longer than usual to find out what happened.

Senators Request More Money for National Parks
|May 6, 2004
|Andrea Keller, NPCA, 202-454-3332
Senators Request More Money for National Parks
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) today praised Sen. Craig Thomas (R-Wyo.) and Sen. Bob Graham (D-Fla.) for leading an effort in the U.S. Senate to provide much-needed funding for the National Park System.
"Our national parks need more champions like Craig Thomas and Bob Graham," said NPCA President Thomas C. Kiernan. "The parks face myriad threats—one of the worst being insufficient funding, which is affecting the experiences of visitors and the ability of the National Park Service to protect the natural treasures and historic artifacts that make the parks worth preserving in the first place."
Sen. Thomas and Sen. Graham sponsored a letter sent today to the Senate Interior Appropriations Subcommittee requesting an additional $240 million for the national parks. Twenty senators signed the letter, which said, "While the National Park Service's operating budget has increased in recent years, it has failed to keep pace with the increasing demands placed on our parks. As you are aware, annual funding shortfalls have been exacerbated in recent years by Park Service absorption of homeland security costs, cost-of-living increases, and the rising costs of supplies, as well as several across-the-board cuts to Interior agencies."
Senators that signed the letter are: Craig Thomas (R-Wyo.), Bob Graham (D-Fla.), Lamar Alexander R-Tenn.), Jeff Bingaman (D-NM), John Warner (R-Va.), Daniel Akaka (D-HI), Dick Lugar (R-Ind.), Barbara Milkulski (D-MD), Susan Collins (R-ME), Tim Johnson (D-SD), Max Baucus (D-MT), John Edwards (D-NC), Paul Sarbanes (D-MD), Chris Dodd (D-Conn.), Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY), Mark Pryor (D-AR), Bill Nelson (D-Fla.), Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ), Mark Dayton (D-Minn.), and Blanche Lincoln (D-AR).
"This letter illustrates the strong, bipartisan support for increased national park funding as Congress prepares the parks' fiscal year 2005 budget," Kiernan added.
Rep. Mark Souder (R-Ind.) and Rep. Brian Baird (D-Wash.), co-chairs of the new National Parks Caucus, sponsored a similar letter in the U.S. House of Representatives, which was signed by 84 members.
As revealed in NPCA's new report, Endangered Rangers, national parks have been neglected for years, suffering from an annual operating shortfall in excess of $600 million and insufficient staff. As a result, visitors may not see many park rangers this summer, but they will see crumbling historic buildings and roads, and campgrounds and trails that are poorly maintained.
Americans for National Parks, an NPCA-led coalition made up of 375 chambers of commerce, private businesses, nonprofit organizations, and park friends groups, is working to increase the operating budget of the parks to protect our national heritage and the experiences of 280 million visitors annually.

I was thinking this week of all the Easter sunrises I have seen. Starting at a very young age, Easter has been a special day. When I was young, it was all about the new "Easter Dress" and if I was lucky, new shoes and an Easter Bonnet.
I'm the little one above, about 5 or 6 years old and at right a very "grown-up" 10 year old. I guess I was still kinda just thinking about the new dress!
Over the years, the children have joined us in Easter celebrations. Most of our pictures from that time are still un-digitized, but I did find these that I scanned some time ago for another project.
We used to all pile in that old VW van and make our way to church (and not just on Easter lol).
Notice the suit that was on John in the picture above has found a new home in the picture below!
Where did the years go? As the kids grew up and got married and began to have children of their own, we had many more Easter celebrations. Egg hunts in the backyard, BBQs as the weather allowed, and always lots of love.
|Corbin and Cailin
|Bekah and Anna
|Corbin and Anna
None of these kids look the same anymore, as time has passed and they have also grown up. But the memories remain.
We got to go over and help Cailin and Emmie dye some Easter eggs this afternoon. It was great to do something so simple and yet so full of memories. Cailin is 12 now and Emmie is 10 but they're not so old that they can't enjoy dying eggs.
And of course we had to say "hi" to the grand-rats…
Easter is definitely different now that the kids and grandkids are all grown-up or nearly so. The egg hunts in our backyard have given way to each family celebrating in their backyards, especially since we don't all live so close together anymore. It's all good and as it should be. Kids grow, traditions evolve, and change happens.
But one thing that does not change is the reason that many of us have to celebrate the season. Enjoy one of my favorite Easter songs with the piano stylings of the late Anthony Burger. Happy Easter Everyone.

Match Notes PDF
THE WEEK AHEAD• The Wisconsin wrestling team (3-2, 0-0 Big Ten) opens up Big Ten Conference season this weekend with a pair of duals. The Badgers wrestle Michigan State at home at the UW Field House on Friday, Dec. 7, at 7 p.m. before heading to Lincoln, Neb., Sunday, Dec. 9, for a match-up with No. 9 Nebraska. That dual begins at 1 p.m. Fans will be able to watch both meets live on the Big Ten Digital Network on BTN.com.
MEET MICHIGAN STATE• Friday's match-up with Michigan State will be the 43rd all-time on the mat for the Badgers and Spartans. Wisconsin holds the advantage, 24-17-2, in those contests and has won three of the last four meetings dating back to 2005-06. The two teams last wrestled during the 2010-11 season in East Lansing, Mich., in a dual the Badgers won, 27-9.
• The Spartans come into Big Ten play 1-1 on the season, having beaten Eastern Michigan, 25-11, and falling to Edinboro, 22-12.
• Michigan State is unranked as a team and features one individually ranked wrestler, Mike McClure, who is ranked No. 10 at heavyweight.
GET TO KNOW NEBRASKA• Wisconsin and Nebraska will face off for the 16th time in history, and for just the second time as Big Ten opponents, Sunday in Lincoln, Neb. The Badgers lead the all-time series, 8-5-2, but lost their last meeting to the Cornhuskers, getting shutout, 36-0, at the UW Field House last season to a then-No. 7 ranked Nebraska team.
• The Cornhuskers are 4-1 this season in dual meets, with their only loss coming at home to a then-No. 1 ranked Minnesota team.
• Nebraska is ranked No. 9 in the country coming into Sunday's match-up and will wrestle four individually ranked wrestlers against the Badgers. The Cornhuskers' Jake Sueflohn is ranked No. 10 at 149 lbs., James Green is No. 8 at 157 lbs., Robert Kokesh is No. 8 at 174 lbs., and John Ihnen is No. 6 at 184 lbs.
• Like the Badgers, Nebraska is coming off an appearance at the 31st annual Cliff Keen Invite where it finished in fifth-place as a team with two individual champions and placed a total of five wrestlers. Kokesh and Ihnen won the titles at 174 lbs., and 184 lbs., respectively, while Sueflohn finished third at 149 lbs., Green finished eighth at 157 lbs., and Ridge Kelly earned a seventh-place finish at 141 lbs.
LAST TIME OUT: CLIFF KEEN INVITE• Wisconsin competed at the 31st annual Cliff Keen Invite last weekend in Las Vegas, earning a 14th-place team finish and placing four wrestlers.
• The Badgers were led in Las Vegas by their two ranked wrestlers, Tyler Graff and Connor Medbery, who earned Wisconsin's two highest finishes of the tournament. Graff was the third-place champion at 141 lbs., and Medbery earned a fifth-place finish at heavyweight.
• Outside of those two, Tom Kelliher finished in eighth-place at 133 lbs., while Scott Liegel pulled a pair of consolation round upsets to finish sixth at 174 lbs.
UNBEATEN BADGERS• While they both lost for the first time this season at the Cliff Keen Invite, both Jackson Hein (197 lbs.) and Connor Medbery (Hwt.) both remain undefeated in dual meet competitions this season. Through five team duals Hein is a perfect 5-0 and Medbery is 4-0. They both will look to up those unbeaten records this weekend as Big Ten season opens with duals against Michigan State and Nebraska.
• Hein is scheduled to wrestle either Michigan State's Nick McDiarmid (0-2) or Luke Jones (0-0) Friday and Nebraska's Caleb Kolb (3-2) Sunday.
• Medbery will match-up with the Spartans' No. 10-ranked heavyweight Mike McClure Friday and the Cornhuskers' Donny Longendyke (2-3) Sunday.
WISCONSIN WRESTLING IN THE POLLS• For the first time this season the Wisconsin wrestling team did not receive votes in the NWCA/USA Today Division I Coaches Poll, and remain unranked.
• Individually, the Badgers remain with two ranked wrestlers. Following the Cliff Keen Invite results, Tyler Graff moved down a spot to No. 9 at 141 lbs. and Connor Medbery moved up a spot to No. 14 at heavyweight in the InterMat College Rankings.
WELCOME BACK GRAFF• The Badgers will get a boost this season from the return of two-time All-American Tyler Graff. Graff took an Olympic redshirt last season in order to train in an attempt to qualify for the 2012 Summer Olympics. Graff is the No. 9-ranked wrestler in the country at 141 lbs. this season and has a 9-2 overall record on the year, including 4-1 in dual meets.
• Graff competed at the Cliff Keen Invite in Las Vegas this past weekend where he was the No. 3 seed in the 141 lbs. bracket. Graff took third place and had a 5-1 overall record at the tournament. Graff defeated Cornell's Michael Nevinger, the No. 9-ranked wrestler at 141 lbs., in the third-place match.
• The Loveland, Colo., native faced four ranked opponents at the Cliff Keen Invite, bumping his team-leading season total to seven. Graff went 3-1 in Las Vegas and is 5-2 overall against fellow ranked opponents this season.
#14 Connor Medbery (4-0)

John Boyett and Dion Jordan were named Thursday to a second watch list for an award honoring college football's defensive player of the year, and Carson York also has been named to an award's preseason watch list.
Boyett and Jordan were two of the 84 players named to the watch list for the Bronco Nagurski Award on Thursday, three days after both made the watch list for the Bednarik Award. The Nagurski Award is voted on by the Football Writers Association of American, while the Bednarik Award is voted on by the Maxwell Football Club.
A free safety, Boyett has led the Ducks in tackles two of the last three years. Jordan led the UO defense in sacks in 2011 from his hybrid defensive end and outside linebacker spot.
Also Thursday, York made the watch list for the Outland Trophy, which is awarded by the FWAA to the nation's best interior lineman. The senior offensive guard is attempting to come back from a devastating knee injury suffered in the Rose Bowl that required offseason surgery and kept him out of significant portions of spring practice.
Oregon State cornerback Jordan Poyer also made the watch lists for the Nagurski and Bednarik awards.

Molson Cup Donation
Last Wednesday night was the final "Molson Cup On Ice Donation" and I was able to be a part of it. I have to admit I was as excited as the guests were. It was great to meet the MLSE Crew that makes it all happen behind the scenes.
Upon my arrival I was signed in by Alicia, she is involved with the Leafs Fund for Kids, and taken to an area while we waited for the rest of the Team that would be on ice with the March winner of the Molson Cup.
I met Kevin Stauch, guest of Joel's, owner and operator of Oscar's Roadhouse in Brampton and Tracey Ferguson,Variety – The Children's Village. I wish I had more time to chat, Tracey is a four time Paralympic Medalist, having won 3 Gold and 1 Bronze. I found out that Tracey began her athletic career at Variety Village aspiring to represent Canada in the Games. Tracey credits Variety Village as having played an instrumental role in achieving her athletic goals.

Today our friends over at Mediaite alerted us to the fact that Bristol Palin thinks Michele Bachmann is totally ripping off her mom's style. Um, okay.
So, Sarah Palin's daughter said this to Popeater:
I think she dresses a lot like my mom. But a lot, a lot of women have done that the last few years. I do think it's odd, you know, seeing people with red blazers with their hair up with glasses. I don't know if she's wearing glasses, but you want to be, 'Hummmm, do you think that people don't notice you're dressing like my mom?'
We took it upon ourselves to run an in-depth style analysis of Bachmann and Mama Palin, and in the words of our esteemed colleague (and full-on fashionista) Alex Alvarez: oh, girl. Bachmann almost never wears glasses, nor does she often wear her hair up. And her clothes? Sure, she wears suits sometimes — but so does every other politician, female or otherwise. In fact, Bachmann actually wears a fair amount of dresses, in contrast to the suit-loving Palin.
Attractive conservative brunettes: not all the same!

BUFFALO, NY - A new trial is getting underway to determine if the state can keep Nushawn Williams locked up, even though he finished his prison term for the crimes for which he pled guilty.
Williams was sent to prison several years ago for rape, and for knowingly infecting young women in the Jamestown area with HIV.
Eight jurors were sworn in Wednesday. Jury selection will continue Thursday morning. Testimony is set to begin on Monday.
But just a few weeks ago, a blood test showed Williams does not have the disease.
Williams is still in prison under the state's civil confinement law -- and the State Attorney General's office wants to keep it that way.
The public will not be allowed in the courtroom for the new trial -- because the judge wants to keep mental health records private.
A recent test requested by Nushawn Williams attorney indicates he doesn't have HIV.
A state health expert called that particular type of test "junk science."
A judge denied the attorney general's request for another test.
According to his attorney Williams is no longer taking medication for HIV.
Testimony is set to begin Monday.
