Scott Horton Interviews Robert Naiman
Robert Naiman, Policy Director at Just Foreign Policy, discusses his article "Does AIPAC Want War? Lieberman 'Capability' Red Line May Tip AIPAC's Hand;" how Joe Lieberman's senate bill lowers the threshold for military action by adopting Israeli policy on Iran's nuclear breakout capability; the dangerous ambiguity of the terms "vital national interest" and "nuclear weapons capability;" and how US diplomats have abandoned compromise in favor of "do what we say or else" bullying.
MP3 here. (19:18)
Robert Naiman is Policy Director at Just Foreign Policy. Mr. Naiman edits the Just Foreign Policy daily news summary and writes on U.S. foreign policy at Huffington Post. He is president of the board of Truthout. Naiman has worked as a policy analyst and researcher at the Center for Economic and Policy Research and Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch. He has masters degrees in economics and mathematics from the University of Illinois and has studied and worked in the Middle East.
8 Responses to "Robert Naiman"
Senator Joe LIEberman (Zionist-Israel)–er, uh, Connecticut–is an Israel-First swine. He ought to be shipped the hell over to Tel Aviv–and told to stay there. He doesn't give a damn for the military or diplomatic interests of the United States.
Then again, neither does the U.S. Government. It's subservient to Israel.
Remember Lieberman would not hold office but he was picked by the other party as someone who could defeat one guy who would have been elected if the republican did not decide better a traitor than reformer. Lieberman is clearly off the reservation in his support for a foreign nation. I think so many people like Lieberman now believe the USA exist for the money it provide to Israel. Our official position is if Israel attack Iran we will attack Iran if it fights back. That is pretty close to Canada sinking our ships for attack japanese ships during WWII. Israel can do all the bad things that they do on a daily bases because of people like Lieberman.
Joe Lieberman was elected by the voting majority in his district, the 51% most educated and wealthy in his Connecticut district. So, as half of the wealth owned by that voting majority is plunder gained by brutal imperialism, does this mean that greed not ignorance is what got Lieberman elected?
Israel a smokescreen — A thing that blind's the mind by burning the emotions
Dinky little impoverished Israel, over 20% kids go to bed hungry in Israel, if Empire USA should by invasion steal the world's second largest oil reserves from the people of Iran, then of course all the blame will fall on Israel.
So, what if there was no Israel and no AIPAC lobby funding most of the politicians in Congress, who would we blame then? Would it not be our war materials industry and our oil industry?
Therefore, little Israel is just a smokescreen, all the campaign donation AIPAC hands out came from our corporate rich and our voting majority is the most greedy 51% most wealthy the world has ever known.
Must read, another great article by pepe!
We have been harassing iran for 30 years. What is the proper response to harassment?
Goal being to end wars of imperialism — What should first priority be?
Our highest desire is to enlighten the voting majority to a fact that we see as most self-evident, that the temporary wealth and pleasure achieved by wars of plunder and brutal imperialism, that this is destroying any hope for permanent wealth and happiness. So, how can we possible accomplish such an awesome thing by exhausting our emotional capital on the bloody effects of wars?
For if one knows the root cause of a war, even it they know none of the blood and guts effects of the war, the solution becomes self-evident. So, let us debate the root cause of wars, using only physical facts pertaining to wars and for starters comes now —
Our rich ruling class, namely High Society, they are trying to fool us into thinking that evil foreign leaders, not the all American greedy, that this is the root cause of all our wars. Drone warfare for example, mainstream media brainwash for example, it has but one purpose, to fool us into thinking that evil leaders are the root cause of our wars and just as soon as all the Gaddafi type leaders and Taliban type leaders are dead and gone, all our wars will be long gone.

Jim Leyland is ready for retirement, stepping down as manager of the Detroit Tigers.
"I'm going to be 69 years old," Leyland said at a press conference Monday. "I'm not ashamed of that. I'm proud of it. The fuel's getting a little low."
Leyland, who turns 69 in December, helped turn around the Tigers in seven seasons as manager, including three American League Central Division titles and two World Series appearances. The Tigers went to the American League Championship Series three straight years.
"What's gone on here has been unbelievable. We've won a lot of games, we've had a lot of seats filled," Leyland said. "I came here to make talent a team, and I think we did that."
Leyland reportedly told his players following a Game 6 loss in the ALCS at Boston on Saturday night that it was time for someone younger to step in and do the job.
"This one hurt bad, because I thought we let one get away. We did it collectively, there's no one culprit," Leyland said. "This is one that's going to stick with me."
Leyland was 700-597 (.541) and won at least 90 games three times. He was hired entering the 2006 season to take over a team that went 71-91 in 2005.
The Tigers have a big-spending owner and a roster that is very much set with arguably only two position spots in question going to spring training — second base and left field.
"I truly think this is going to be a very good team next year," Leyland said. "This job entails a lot more than people think."
Two coaches on Leyland's coaching staff, Lloyd McClendon and Gene Lamont, have managerial experience and are expected to be considered for the job.
Leyland is not under contract. He completed a one-year deal signed last offseason.
Leyland is 1,769-1,728 overall as manager, also including stints with the Pittsburgh Pirates (1986-96), Florida Marlins (1997-98) and Colorado Rockies (1999). He won the 1997 World Series with the Marlins. He also managed the Pirates to the National League Championship Series three straight years (1990-92).
He is a two-time NL Manager of the Year (1990, 1992) and was AL Manager of the Year in 2006.

Balance Me have very kindly sent me on of their Discovery Sets to review
"Balance Me's discovery set is a perfect collection to indulge or introduce your friends and family this Christmas. Our multi-award winning, natural yet sophisticated luxurious bathing and moisturising body
heros in this kit are suitable for all ages, skin types as well as for those friends or relatives that are usually hard to buy for!
Our discovery set is made up of our multi-award winning hand cream with shea butter and yarrow, in handbag perfect size at 30ml; our brand new super toning body cream, packed with essential oils juniper, bergamot, geranium and lavender to help smooth skin. Our super toning body wash to compliment and layer the benefits of the cream; and our award-winning rose otto body wash packed with rosa palma, rose geranium and rose otto, which is gentle and soothing for sensitive and more mature skins."

The super toning body wash and body cream smell lovely and refreshing first thing in the morning and the handcream now permanently lives in my handbag! The set has a RRP of £16 and I think it will make an ideal stocking filler or small gift for those people who are a nightmare to buy for

Intel may beat them to the punch though, with plans to introduce sub-30nm NAND before the end of the year. It would still give SanDisk a useful edge in the flash market, where their primary objective now seems to be offering very high-capacity SSDs without bankrupting their customers. Regardless of who gets there first, it indicates that 2010 will likely see lower priced SSDs as storage density increases and production costs drop.
Toshiba, SanDisk, Intel and Micron are all preparing to use 3-bit per cell NAND chips, which will further sink prices. Intel is on the forefront of 3bpc technology, announcing the readiness of 3bpc products before the end of the year. 34nm and 32nm-based SSDs are expected to use a 3bpc design, and it may be a staple going forward.
However, it also means a performance hit compared to current SSDs, which use 2 bits per cell. Whether or not the increased storage density will compensate for that remains to be seen, but a lower price tag almost assuredly will.

Illinois State University's Board of Trustees today gave the University authorization to enter into contracts for updated information technology systems and approved an agreement with the Town of Normal for fire protection services.
The Trustees' decision allows Illinois State to conclude a competitive procurement process and enter into a vendor contract to support LEAPForward, the University's multi-year initiative to modernize the academic information infrastructure on campus. The authorization allows Illinois State to enter into a three-year contract with up to seven, one-year renewals with the most favorable vendor at an estimated initial annual cost of $5 million and average annual renewal rates over the renewal period not to exceed $2.5 million.
The intergovernmental agreement between the Town of Normal and Illinois State provides fire protection services for the University for fiscal year 2014 at a cost of $530,400. The agreement is modified each year to require a new reimbursement rate that reflects the higher municipal costs associated with providing fire protection services. The Town of Normal uses a price index to calculate the new reimbursement rate that is determined by the Illinois Municipal League and used in other university communities across the state.

Laurence Chauvin Buthaud is the Parisian designer behind fashion label LaurenceAirline. Her masculine collections display a wide range of influences, from graphic African prints to Japanese polka dots to Scottish plaid. Profits are reinvested back into the development of the company and a training programme for employees working in the Côte d'Ivoire workshop.
Buthaud also plans to open a school and a cultural centre in Abidjan in the future, to enable greater dialogue between Europe and Côte d'Ivoire.
What drives you? My internal voice.
How do you picture the future of the fashion industry in Africa?
Africa has an incredibly diverse and skilled tradition in craftsmanship. I hope that the African fashion industry develops in a way that is responsible and respectful and draws from Africa's instinctive beauty, pure and raw.
How is fashion important to the future of Africa?
Fashion gives an image of elegance. It is important that African fashion shows the different aesthetics of the continent. But we also need a fashion industry that passes on values. Africa needs to unify, and it would be incredible if the African fashion industry is able to encourage and support solidarity.
What are the main misconceptions when it comes to women in your industry?
It is challenging to be a woman in the industry. Your capabilities are questioned to the point that you can push yourself to be a superwoman, and take on traditionally masculine traits to survive. It is important to respect yourself as a woman, as well as make yourself be respected so that your business is successful.
What advice do you have for anyone starting out in your the fashion industry?
Take your time, define your goals as clearly as possible, surround yourself with good people.
What are some of the biggest challenges that you have faced in your career?
Developing a business inspired by my humanitarian and creative vision that at the same time is an effective and stable business.
In boardrooms and parliaments, on television and the stage, women are increasingly making their presence felt across Africa and on the world stage. The inaugural ARISE 100 list champions just some of the remarkable women shaping modern Africa today.

Annual Report 2011: Independent Media
SF Commons: San Francisco's innovative public access television station
The name "SF Commons" is derived from the notion of a public commons – a physical gathering place for community debate and celebration – and also a set of shared community assets and knowledge. We intend to honor the broad notion of a community's stories and experiences for sharing, but in our efforts to reimagine public access, we also imagine a future in which commons refers to the pooling of assets, expertise, and the deepening of civic engagement to collectively address social challenges. 2011 was a year of deepening organizational relationships, collaborating regionally and nationally with peer organizations, promoting broadband adoption through media-based learning, and planning for an expansion of our collaborations in 2012.
In 2011, SF Commons:
· Operated two 24/7 cable channels and live web streams
· Served 100 independent producers creating programming for distribution on SF Commons
· Supported an average of 10 live shows in our Flash Studio weekly, with Flash Studio guests including
· Provided 791 days of fully subsidized (free) equipment and edit suite rentals to producers
· Provided 383 hours of training in video production, postproduction, and Flash studio production to producers
Special projects included:
· The neighborhood news network or n3, with journalism and live show training for groups of community producers at SomArts Cultural Center, Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts, and the Willie Mays Boys & Girls Club in Bayview
· Live programs and events streamed from our n3 sites, such as "100 Performances From The Hole" at SomArts Cultural Center and Open Mic nights and BUMP Records performances at BAVC
· A PSA Day workshop and production services for nonprofit organizations such as the San Francisco Family Services Agency, Youthline/Chalk, the Afro Solo Theatre Company, African American Arts & Cultural Center, West Bay Multi Service Center, Project Commotion, Positive Pro News, Bridge the Gap & Urban Education Academy
· The Veterans Storytelling Project, a digital storytelling program in partnership with the Veterans Administration
· The recording and distribution of candidate statements for any local candidate for mayor or supervisor
In addition, collaboration with peer organizations strengthened our organizational relationships:
· Collaborated with eight fellow public access centers in the Northern California region to share curriculum and best practices and discuss collaborative efforts
· Developed the California Community Media Exchange to continue collaboration and sharing of content and curriculum among regional access centers
· Implemented innovative system for building community media archive in partnership with the Internet Archive
· In collaboration with BAVC's Next Gen programs, developed a partnership with the San Francisco Public Library, KQED, and California Academy of Sciences to plan for a youth media center at SFPL
MediaMaker Fellowships
Throughout the course of 2011, eight remarkable fellows participated in a series of workshops and labs designed to help them advance their social issue media projects, get feedback and inspiration from a network of expert mentors, they worked in BAVC's facility, and presented their progress in a culminating presentation.
"What we didn't have the bandwidth to do is to figure out a transmedia plan because we were so busy keeping up with this narrative. Then, we got the BAVC fellowship, and since then we have had our eyes open to so many new ideas. The BAVC fellowship has really changed how we have thought about how to tell this story. And it's given us great ideas for ways to use the film's potential to empower the movement."
--- Megan Gelstein, Emmy Winning Documentary maker, 2011 MediaMaker Project: Green Shall Overcome, the story of controversial environmental activist Van Jones
"I was thrilled to be a 2011 MediaMaker fellow, it has meant exposure to cutting edge technologies, collaboration with this amazing group of filmmakers, and also, very importantly, it forced me to make space in my life to think about innovation and how I could make this work."
--- Samantha Grant, lecturer at UC Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism and Stanford's Knight Fellows program 2011 MediaMaker Project: A Fragile Trust, a transmedia doc project about the Jayson Blair/New York Times plagiarism scandal and ethics, power and responsibility in the media.
"It has really been a fantastic year here at BAVC. I've learned so much awesome new technology and new ways of thinking about approaching projects that has really impacted my projects and my approach."
--- Sara Maamouri, documentary filmmaker and editor 2011 MediaMaker Project: Burned, a documentary about arson investigations and the execution of Todd Cameron Willingham.
"BAVC has allowed us to create the space where we can debate and discuss transmedia. I really want to thank BAVC for their support, and all of the MediaMakers too - I've come out of this feeling really inspired."
--- Nadia Shihab, is a documentary filmmaker and experimental musician residing in San Francisco, California 2011 MediaMaker Project: Poppies for Kirkuk, a portrait of Iraqi Turkmen as they find themselves suddenly living in the boundaries of a newly emerging Kurdistan.

|The Game Story:
|Ten different Golden Knights scored goals, led by junior Greg Gibbon�s (Baldwinsville, NY) three tallies, and the Green and Gold�s defense put in another solid effort as the 20th-ranked Clarkson University Men�s Lacrosse team defeated Vassar College 14-6 on Saturday afternoon in Liberty League play at SUNY Canton.
Clarkson, which improved its record to 7-2 overall and 3-0 in the conference, controlled play from the start jumping out to a 3-0 lead after the first 15 minutes and taking a 6-2 advantage into the half. The Knights continued to roll in the third quarter outscoring Vassar 6-2 for a 12-4 lead after 45 minutes. The teams traded two goals apiece in the fourth quarter.
Junior Brian Hoey (Auburn, NY) paced the Knights� offense with a game-high six points, including four assists. Gibbons tallied four points (3-1), while junior Tom Ross (Adams, NY) scored twice and added an assist.
Freshman Sam Thypin-Bermeo (Princeton, NJ) and sophomore Cody Scandore (North Andover, MA) scored two goals apiece for Vassar (3-9, 0-4).
Clarkson out shot the Brewers 31-21. Both teams had 33 ground balls. Senior Greg Lamb (Baldwinsville, NY) posted five saves on nine shots, while classmate John Svoren (Hamburg, NY) made one save in 12:24 of play for the Knights. Junior defenseman Andrew Kott (Auburn, NY) picked up a team-high six ground balls for Clarkson.
Seniors Jon Cathcart (Homer, NY) and Steve Kennedy (Niskayuna, NY), juniors Andrew Bachman (Queensbury, NY), Cory Schneider (Yorktown, NY) and Erik Hilfinger (Ann Arbor, MI) and freshman Mitchel Collins (Baldwinsville, NY) and Mike Simmons (Clinton, CY) rounded out the Clarkson goal scorers.
Clarkson faces arch-rival St. Lawrence University in a key Liberty League game on Wednesday on the Saints� home field in Canton, beginning at 4:00 p.m.

Summer League Recap: New Orleans 77 Knicks 72
Tommy DeeThere were some positives to take away from this first game starting with the strong start of first round pick Tim Hardaway, JR. Hardaway showed pretty effortless scoring prowess early and showed a variety of ways to put the ball in the basket. He struggled with shot selection as the team as a whole struggled in the second half, but this kid is an NBA caliber scorer.
With the Knicks desperate for a big body who can rebound, it was great to see Jeremy Tyler yank down 11 boards including 5 on the offensive end. Tyler, the former high school star who traveled overseas to play professionally before being drafted to the NBA, is still incredibly raw offensively but you have to really like his activeness. I think he's someone the Knicks have to continue to take a long look at.
Who is Eloy Vargas? A three year player at Kentucky who left after the 11-12 season, Vargas showed decent range, but didn't help much on the boards.
I was impressed with C.J. Leslie's ability to attack the basket off the bounce. He showed some athleticism but you'd like to see better shot selection and more production from the super-talented swingman. Hopefully at his size he isn't in NBA forward purgatory that finds him in between positions and not effective at either the 3 or the 4.
Toure' Murray did his best Nate Robinson instant offense impersonation, no? Four FGs in 12 minutes including a 3 pointer was very impressive. Looking forward to seeing more of the former Wichita State star.
I know it was just one summer league game but I was disappointed by Iman Shumpert's effort yesterday. I thought he could have shown more leadership and take over ability. He was completely outplayed by Austin Rivers all game long. Obviously, you'd like to see Shump get better handling the ball and attacking the basket and job number 1 for him is to stay healthy. But sooner or later the knee injury can no longer be viewed as a crutch and we're going to have to see much more consistency offensively. I'd like to see him prove, like Rivers, that he is by far one of the best players on the floor.
I was annoyed at the rotation in thinking that the coaching staff went too early to the second unit in the first half, but that's being nitpicky.
All in all it wasn't pretty but there were some good signs. Looking forward to the next game tomorrow at 4.

Have you noticed the bell ringers outside of Wal-Mart?
These people are from the Salvation Army raising money for those who need it. All you have to do is place any extra change you have from shopping in the red kettle. The Salvation Army Red Kettles have been an American tradition since 1891, helping raise financial support for critical Salvation Army programs and services year round.
A local organization known for meeting the needs of people in the Hutchinson County community received a helping hand in return in the form of turkeys.
Four local men, Jimmy Anderson of Conoco Phillips, Mike Bethel of Ardent, Lanny Ferrell of WHM, and Scott Fowles donated 50 turkeys to High Plains Helping Hand for the holiday season. Anderson, Bethel, and Ferrell visited the organization Thursday to make the delivery.
Carolyn Poindexter, who is with High Plains Helping Hand, said the organization was "absolutely" blessed to receive such a generous donation.
The Christmas holiday will mark the 200 S. McGee hospital facility being 75% complete in the asbestos abatement process. Basement flooring, pipe fittings, and duct work are what will remain to be abated after the holiday. A few questionable items are being tested and pending results, will be abated if they return positive for asbestos.
The initial target date for all interior asbestos removal is the second week of January, unless the items return a positive result. Consultation with the contractors will be necessary to determine a new target date and additional expense.
The Hutchinson County Farm Bureau has made donations on behalf of several local volunteer departments in recognition of their hard work.
The agency has donated $334 each to Stinnett, Fritch, Morse, and Crutch Ranch Volunteer Fire Department, with $1,000 contributed by Texas Farm Bureau (TFB) to help recover resources and funds used to keep the community safe.
Hutchinson County Farm Bureau President John Lieb said the agency is thankful for all of the work the volunteer firefighters do in order to keep the communities of the county safe.

Finally! Its great to see RTTF again and its looking good as always. Now just hope that 1.6 is one of our Christmas presents. :P
Personaly I dont like Adenau at all, but good news for those who love it.
The goal of Resistance and Liberation is to realistically portray the events and actions taken by the 82nd Airborne during their stay in Normandy. Our initial release will follow the regiments through a campaign that mimics that followed by the men themselves. The campaign will begin with players dropping into Normandy in the early hours of June 6th, with the ultimate objective of capturing the town of Sainte-Mere-Eglise. From there subsiquent maps will include missions based on other key areas after the D-Day.
As you are probably all aware, it has been a while since the last patch and even longer since the last Road to the Future post. We decided to create this RTTF not only to give you all an update on our progress, but to release a new map.
Posted by InsaneSniper on Oct 15th, 2010
As you are probably all aware, it has been a while since the last patch and even longer since the last Road to the Future post. We decided to create this RTTF not only to give you all an update on our progress, but to release a new map. On top of that, we have some new developers to introduce. Lastly, there will be no Q and A section as we want to focus on showing some media.
Lately, we have been looking for an advanced C++ programmer who is willing to put forth a long term commitment to the RnL Dev team. I say this because some of our previous programmers have dropped shortly after their Rite of Passage assignments and we are looking for some really dedicated people. It is also a big plus if you are familiar with programming in the source engine. Also, as always we are looking for anyone skilled in one of the following categories: game artist(modeler, texturer), 2D artist, animator, and level designer. For more information and to apply go here(RnLJobPage).
There are two new developers that I would like to introduce:
James "Volcol" Chilton - Modeler / Game Artist
James has been with us for a while, but with the lack of updates we haven't had a chance to introduce him. He has modeled, UV'ed, and textured the much anticipated FG42. Here is a render of his FG42 after the modeling stage.
Christopher "Tank" Davis - Animator
Chris has re-done the bomb planting animations and is also in charge of reanimating the machine gun actions. We are glad to finally have another animator to get these jobs done.
You have diligently waited for news news on the next release and don't despair as there has been a lot of work done during this delay. The list of updates so far for the patch seem to be the length of a short story in my standards. Our reasoning for waiting this long is that we are hoping the next patch will be a solid and bug-free(within reason) release. A date for the release cannot be given at this time, but be aware we are still working hard on it and will give you more detailed information when we have it all ready. In the meantime, here is some information on work that has been done since patch 1.5.
First on the list of news is a map release. Some may consider this a re-release, none the less Toni has ported Daniel's (aka Huri) Adenau over to the Orange Box. The download link for this promoted Beta map is below. Put this file in your "...\Steam\steamapps\SourceMods\RnLBeta\maps" folder.
Semmel has fixed his map rnl_falaise and ported it to the Orange Box so that it will become another official Beta map. Here are some screenshots of this great map courtesy of Semmel.
Felix told us to mention that there will be some big news coming from him dealing with another map. It has been getting overhauled and finished for a later release. We have mentioned this map in the past, but it won't be named until Felix gives the okay.
Eero has been on a re-skinning spree lately. He has been updating the skins of the MG42, G43, in-game GUI, and a collection of props. We will show more of this later.
That is all for this RTTF. Stick around for the next update!
Finally! Its great to see RTTF again and its looking good as always. Now just hope that 1.6 is one of our Christmas presents. :P
Personaly I dont like Adenau at all, but good news for those who love it.
Great to here some news from my favourite mod :)
I can't see any screen shots of Eero's work though
i think this mod is going to be one of my favourites
Good news and great screenshots. I hope with the next version are more player ingame. :D
Looks fantastic, as always! :)
Hey Falaise ! :) i hope we can see a part of "william he conqueror" Castle ! :D
(This gamemod really need normands mapper !)
Love this mod.
Thanks god u guys are still here. I tought the mod was about to die. It would be a sad sad day.But you are still here, and working a lot for what it looks =D
Good job, this is one of the best mods ever!
You guys from R&L should have more comments than another. I don't know why a lot of worse mods are more popular.
i want more people on! hope to see more updates from you guys!
This game should be next to be put on steam for how much potential it really has to grab a large group of people looking for the next source mod. Other then that keep up the good work with this game.
What do you consider advanced programming skills.
Advanced object-oriented knowledge in C++, preferably with prior knowledge of the Source SDK.
Great work.
I might say that RnL is a game that is more than excellent for anyone nostalgic enough about the old good ww2 shooters and for all the new kids how lost this great period of gaming. Yeah I talking about MoH.
Yeah baby!
Sadly another mod where the art department totally rocked (for the time, now looks fairly ugly and outdated in many areas), but whoever designed and implemented game play just did a terrible job.

Here's a money-saving thought: Can you find holiday cash in the car seats? No, not just a few stray nickels and quarters.
Different ways to create holiday jingle are popping up -- finance deals, credit cards and yes, even some car loans.
Walmart is running a zero-interest-for-18-months promotion on electronics bought for $429 or more for customers using a Walmart credit card at the stores through Nov. 30.
Ford Credit has sent selected customers offers to skip the next monthly car payment to create extra cash in their wallets.
But before saying "Hey, where do I sign up?" it's smart to dig deep into the details.
My niece received a few offers. Her credit union had a plan to delay loan payments but it had a fee of $30, so she said forget it.
The finance company for her car loan offered a way to defer payments for one month. No fee. Before she jumped, she stopped and wondered: How is this going to hit my credit report?
Many consumers are similarly skeptical.
"Their first question is 'How is this going to impact my score?' " said Dorothy Barrick, financial counselor and group manager for GreenPath Debt Solutions, a national nonprofit credit counselor based in Farmington Hills.
Experts say that accepting an offer to defer a monthly payment -- not just skipping a payment on your own -- shouldn't affect credit scores. It should not be reported to a credit reporting agency.
Yet, consumers must consider what action might lead to lower credit scores. Lower scores mean you could face higher interest rates ahead if you apply for a mortgage or other loans.
Obviously, no one should just stop making a payment -- as a missed payment does ding a credit score.
Todd Albery, CEO of Detroit-based Quizzle, a credit-information website that's part of the Quicken Loans family, said consumers could take an extra step and directly ask the company making the offer to specify, in writing, that this deal will not negatively affect the consumer's credit.
When it comes to zero-interest financing deals, like appliance or furniture offers, credit scores could take an initial hit if you wait to pay them off until the end of the interest-only period, Albery said. Albery noted that you could end up creating a "revolving account" when you agree to a limited, zero-interest promotion for a year or 18 months. The balance owed would likely be high. Once it is reported to the credit bureaus, it could contribute to a drop in a credit score.
Once that purchase is paid down or paid off, he said, the consumer's score could rise again.
For many consumers, some deals create flexibility in a budget. But you must consider how you're going to spend the extra money, too.
"If you're doing it just to blow that money without working within your budget, that's not a good thing," Barrick said.
Look at the fees, too.
If you'd pay a fee of $30 to avoid a $150 monthly payment, you're only freeing up $120 for one month and it's not worth it.
Look at your interest rate. Think of an extended payment as stretching out a car loan. It's better to extend that car loan with a rate of 5% than borrow an extra $400 or so on a credit card with a 15% rate.
Ford Credit is running a one-month extension promotion nationwide. The deal is being offered to qualified customers only and it could have a nominal extension fee, said Margaret Mellott, a spokeswoman for Ford Motor Credit.
The fee would depend on what's allowed in a specific state. Some states, including Ohio and Illinois, do not allow fees.
Mellott said a fee typically would not exceed $25. In Michigan, for example, extension fees are 2% of the monthly payment, she said. So on a $400 car payment, that fee would be $8.
Ford confirmed that if a consumer accepts the chance to defer a car payment for one month, there is no effect on the customer's credit score.
Again, you'd need to qualify for the offer and accept it.
As for those popular zero-interest offers, experts say watch out so you won't be tempted to spend more to qualify.
The Walmart deal applies only if you buy the electronics on a single receipt but you can buy several electronics items to hit the $429 or more in a Walmart store. It is not valid online. Consumers also must use a Walmart Discover card or a Walmart credit card.
Some no-interest deals, including the Walmart electronics offer, require a minimum payment each month before that promotional period ends.
Here's another kicker: Interest would be charged to your Walmart account from the date of the purchase if the promotional balance is not paid in full within 18 months.
Pay attention to what you need to pay off -- and when it needs to be paid. Know what interest rate you'd be charged, if you don't pay off that balance in time.
A temporary break for your budget does not mean that you can ignore the limitations of your budget. At some point, you've got to pay the holiday bills -- and everything else.
More Details: Creating extra holiday jingle
Its tempting to open a string of credit cards for a 20% discount. But opening up several credit cards at once will lower your credit score.
Contact your car lender to see whether there are options to skip a payment. Ask about any fees or rules. Some special delay-payment deals are being offered to residents of the mid-Atlantic and the Northeast affected by Superstorm Sandy.
Some credit unions typically offer a skip-a-payment plan around the holidays. If you think youd face a crunch in April, experts say take advantage of a deal now to create more budget room down the road.
Look into rewards that built up on your credit card. Some points could be used to buy gifts.
Many people may think theyll buy a new TV now, opt for a no-interest deal and pay it off with a tax refund early next year. Or maybe theyll pay all the holiday bills with a tax refund. But in their mind, theyve promised that tax return in three different places, said Dorothy Barrick, financial counselor and group manager for GreenPath Debt Solutions, a national nonprofit credit counselor based in Farmington Hills.

Worst: If You Haven't Seen It, Here's The Triple H/Brock Lesnar Video Package Three Times In A Row
Recaps of what happened "moments ago" in an era without Nitro on the other channel are stupid enough on their own, but there is never, ever a reason to show a previous episode's segment recap video in its entirety more than once. Ever. Showing it during a pay-per-view pre-show and again before the match on the pay-per-view is pushing it. Showing it for NO RAISIN twice on a show where nobody featured in the video appears is creative atrophy and a shitty excuse to waste three minutes of your 180-minute show.
The Triple H/Brock Lesnar segment was bad enough when I had to watch it live last week. If you missed it (and you didn't read most of that AJ As Stephanie McMahon section from the previous page), Triple H prodded Brock Lesnar until Lesnar snapped on him and broke his arm. H's arm healed in about 20 minutes, so he challenged Brock to a match at SummerSlam, which Brock didn't accept because he'd quit, and when you quit a job or get fired you don't keep working there (John Cena, I'm looking in your direction). Brock sent a representative to Raw to explain the situation, so Triple H punched the representative. That led to a lawsuit, which Triple H dismissed by saying "lawsuits are GAY" and punching the representative again. Triple H says Brock Lesnar is nothing but a bully, then calls him names until he agrees to fight. Having been beaten up on multiple occasions, the representative says "stop hurting me and being a violent weirdo, your kids are gonna grow up to be crazy violent weirdos", so Triple H goes full Taken and threatens to find and kill him if he mentions children again. This brings out Triple H's wife, who insults the representatives children and beats him up again. This leads to Brock Lesnar showing up to make the babyface (?) save, only to be beaten up by Triple H.
Do you need to read that paragraph two more times in this report, or did you get it? I'm gonna reproduce it on page 5, for anyone who starts reading later.
Best: Daniel Bryan Is Anchoring Raw
I doesn't really need to be pointed out again, but vanilla, no-personality-havin' indy-darling Daniel Bryan is carrying the f**k out of Raw with not only a great 15-minute match, but with a series of segments relying on his personality and super over catchphrase to work. This is happening, and you shouldn't ever take it for granted.
Worst: #ThoseAreAllTheSame
The "illusion of choice" thing WWE pulls when they do TABOO TUESDAY or CYBER SUNDAY or WIRELESS INTERNET WEDNESDAY has always bothered me. The idea is that we're supposed to be making a creative decision about what happens on the show, but they only let us do it in one of two ways:
1. By giving us one really obvious, good answer and two terrible ones. This is what Taboo Tuesday was all about, and was some straight-up 'Legends Of The Hidden Temple' shit. During the question-and-answer round, Olmec would be like, "GEORGE WASHINGTON WAS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. WHO WAS THE FIRST PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES? GEORGE WASHINGTON OR A CUCUMBER" and sometimes the Silver Snakes trog would stand there thinking to himself and mumble cucumber, but most of the time they had a basic goddamn brain and answered it correctly. WWE does that with their options, too. TONIGHT VINCE MCMAHON IS IN A STEEL CAGE MATCH AGAINST ONE OF THREE SUPERSTARS. WILL IT BE
A) glacier
B) buff bagwell's mom
And my dumb ass goes and votes for Glacier, and the final tally is 0.1% to 0% to f**king 99.9% because most people are normal.
2. They do what they did last night and give you three options, but they're all basically the same thing. DO YOU WANT TO SEE THE DIVAS IN A
The three options for Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan were a "No Holds Barred Match", a "Falls Count Anwyhere Match" and a "Street Fight". Option B lets you pin somebody on the floor, sure, but otherwise it's just options A and C, which are f**king synonymous. What, No Holds Barred means Sheamus is gonna start throwing jumping piledrivers and a Street Fight means they're wrestling in jeans? At least give us "cage", "table match" and "falls count anywhere" so they can more or less work the same match and still let us pretend we're voting on something.
Best: Sheamus And Daniel Bryan Beating The Shit Out Of Each Other
For the record, I voted for "No Holds Barred Match" in the hopes that Z-Gangsta would show up for random DVD cross-promotion.
The match itself was phenomenal, and one of the best matches on Raw this year. There wasn't a lot to it other than Sheamus going from white to pink and Bryan going from clean-bearded to having spit in his beard, but it was two guys who are comfortable with each other in the ring hitting each other with feet and objects until one of them died. That's great, and the only downside is that every single Sheamus/Daniel Bryan match between four months ago and infinity reminds me of how f**king robbed we were at WrestleMania. Again, it doesn't ever matter if Daniel Bryan takes a pin if a bunch of great stuff happens in the match he loses.
But yeah, a fifteen-minute back-and-forth streetfight on Raw. If you're going to have your top guys wrestle each other on free TV, Raw's third hour gives you some breathing room to make it count. More of this, and less impromptu tag matches and #1 contenders things, please. Explore the story of a guy having to win more than one or zero matches to get a title shot!
Worst: "Uhhhhh I Think, THE ROCK!" – Tout
As expected, the way to get your Tout on Raw is to answer their question in the most basic way possible and say some catchphrases. If WWE asks, "Who is the greatest of all time, The Rock or Stone Cold Steve Austin?", don't say, "considering career longevity, success in a variety of styles and wrestling organizations, importance to WWE's business history and ticket sales, not to mention their win/loss record against one another at WrestlesMania, Stone Cold Steve Austin is clearly better than The Rock", say "THE ROCK CAUSE HE THE MOST ELECTERFYING MAN IN SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT IF YA SMALLALALALAOW WHAT ROCK IS COOKIN!" and stare at your screen until the Tout ends.

SF Double Trouble : part 8"Hey!"SF Double Trouble : part 8 by GoldShadowDragon
Zara slid past the two-headed creature, deliberately ignoring Nate's exclamation. Three dark orbs trailed behind her as her blackened pupils glistened in the sun.
Not her best idea, she will admit. The sun was far more besieging than it had been in the cave, despite the short duration she spent in it.
Still, Zara fought on. She whisked another orb at her opponents, all the while remaining in motion. She had rounded the quarry several times before her second orb lashed out at the mutinous being.
None of her attacks came into contact with neither Nate nor Abe.
They skidded beside them, clashing into the barren earth or veering into a nearby boulder. Her aim was atrocious, and the constant movement was not helping her in the least.
She needed to get closer.
Slowing her pace twofold, she gradually inched closer to the two as her final orb quivered behind her. Their frequent spars were audible at this point, but she didn't have the ability to care.
She would not miss.

"Whoah, calm down, boy!" said a familiar voice. A warm hand touched Tilt's head--he looked up and saw best friend. Not sick. Alive.
Tilt burrowed his head in Lance's lap as the boy hugged him. "What's wrong, Tilt? Bad dream?"
Not anymore.

Flutter Song woke up in her old home, baffled. What just...?
"Dancing Leaves?" she chirped nervously.
The fox tumbled into view below the tree Flutter Song was perched on. "Flutter Song, wake up! I thought you said you wanted to see the kits when they were old enough to get out of the den!"
"Th-the what?" she asked, dazed. Familiar trees surrounded her--she and Dancing Leaves' injuries were gone. "Where's...where's the Sacred Forest? Why are you alive!?"
The fox tilted his head. "I had a similar dream but..." He glanced around. "My mate never died. How could any of that have happened?
Sacred Forest - Round 4 - Page 7Camilla shivered on the cold forest floor. Was it real? Was she dreaming?Sacred Forest - Round 4 - Page 7 by Miirik
Please, please let it have been a dream...
She saw Meka, very still on the forest floor, surrounded with embers. It was all real.
She crawled over to Dercas--the kitsune was wheezing on the ground, opening her eyes when the girl got near.
"Dercas," Camilla croaked, "why did you even offer to grant a wish?"
Dercas stared blankly ahead, her breathing shallow. "I was lonely," she whispered. "So lonely. And I hoped that, maybe, by some small chance...I'd be freed by the wish." A tear slid down the guardian's face. "What an idiot I was...am."
Camilla glanced at the scarred forest, the fallen, the shaking ghosts whose hold on the world was fading. "I ruined everything," she sniffled, choking back a sob.
"There, there," Dercas said, almost tenderly. She weakly pushed Milly towards her with one of her tails and nestled with h

Make the wish! Dercas' panicked voice hissed in her head.
"I-I don't know what to wish for," Allele croaked, salty tears nearly forming in her eyes. She was in agony--her wings were too torn to even fly, and bleeding heavily. She realized with a cold sinking feeling that she might die today.
She could see in her fuzzy vision two gigantic beasts crashing into each other, snarling and sending blood of all colors flying. The competitors ran backwards in a panic, trying not to get crushed.
What a mess.
Allele stomped a hoof on the grass, staring Mobius in the eyes. The massive creature glared back, coiling around the leafy creature's neck as the creature smashed Mobius' face into the earth; she struggled free and slithered over to the competitors, tossing them to the side.
Allele stomped the ground with the last bit of her strength. "Hey!"
The massive gray creature turned to face Allel

Not that Meka was doing a great job flying, either. He could barely fly in a straight line, and when he did, Camilla nearly slipped off his back. The haziness around the edge of his vision didn't help.
"Hang on," Meka growled to Camilla--she clung to his mane tightly.
Meka clumsily snapped at Allele, but she swiped her tail, slashing the scar on his chest without a single warning from his instincts. He grunted as he lost altitude, but he caught himself and chased after the moth again.
This time, Allele tried to kick Meka's snout--he swerved to the side and slashed at Allele's tail as Camilla leaped off of his back. She dug her dainty claws into the bug's leg.
"Get off!" Allele screeched, shaking her hoof to pry the Abstraction off. Meka was able to tear off a chunk of Allele's wings before Milly co

Mortal shivered and took a step, then another. In his mind, old memorys drifted up, so old he did almost not know that he still had them.
'A wanderer, that's what I am. A passenger in my own life. Never at home... A demon. An Exile.' He thought bitterly, as he walked beneath the trees, whose trunks threw long shadows across his back. His thoughts strayed in another direction, maybe because of the sense of magic, he got a little wistful.
'Life...' Mortal said aloud, then continued the trail of thought in his mind. 'What is a mortal life to a demon? What does that make me? Do I even have a soul?' His ears drooped for a moment at that. Then he shook himself and continued on his way.
Suddenly, a little cyan ball of light was floating in mid air, right infront of him, and it seemed to Mortal, as if there was a faint voice, like the rustling of leaves, and it whispered something... "I... can offer an escape!" And there she was, face to face with him,

Creativity and Beating Writers Block: An Interview with Eva Shaw
January 2, 2003
This interview did not take place on the website due to technical problems. Instead, Ms. Shaw answered a list of questions presented to her offline. While it might not have been as much fun as being there, she provided some great insights on the creative process! Hopefully she can make it live, another time.
Mary Rosenblum, Long Ridge Web Editor
Look for "prolific" in a dictionary and one of the definitions will be Eva Shaw, Ph.D. Check "best selling" and "award winning" too. You might also see Evaĺs name there as well.
As an author and ghostwriter, sheĺs produced more than sixty books, which have garnered rave reviews and won prestigious awards. Her articles have appeared in those national magazines you see at the supermarket and scores of e-zines, newsletters and newspapers, too. She writes a monthly column for www.simplejoy.org and ghostwrites syndicated columns for a nationally known health expert. At last count, sheĺs written well over 1000 articles. With this impressive publishing record, some writers might slow down. Not Eva. New books are underway and articles are being published monthly.
Eva is a lively, engaging and highly sought-out speaker. Sheĺs passionate about writing and that shows when sheĺs in the role of writing mentor and teacher. At conferences and events throughout the United States, her presentations draw standing-room only crowds who seek her advice on writing and publishing. Unlike other well-published writers, Eva happily shares the tricks of the trade and how, you too, can become as abundantly creative. With the sure-fire steps she outlines, every writer can be published.
Thousands have taken her writing classes in colleges and universities and now online. They are living their dreams. They are now published writers because theyĺve taken Evaĺs advice, read her books on writing and enrolled in her courses. Her books just for writers include Writeriffic: Creativity Training For Writers, The Successful Writerĺs Guide to Publishing Magazine Articles, Writing the Nonfiction Book, Trade Secrets, Ghostwriting: How to get into the business.
Some of her books include Shovel It: Natureĺs Health Plan (a five-star choice on Amazon.com and with reviewers including The Washington Post and USA Today), the award-winning, highly acclaimed What To Do When A Loved One Dies, The Sun Never Sets, 60-Second Shiatzu, Resumes for Women, 365 Reflections on Love and Friendship, 50 Wooden Crafts to Make with Kids and Eve of Destruction.
A full-time writer and writing teacher, Eva lives in Carlsbad, California with her husband, Joe, and their newly adopted Welsh terrier "Buttons." In her spare time she indulges in gardening, volunteering, hiking, and reading.
While Eva wasnĺt able to join us, thanks to cyber gremlins, she answered the questions I thought that members of the audience might ask. So here they are, Eva Shawĺs take onCreativity and Beating Writersĺ Block. My questions are in blue. Her answers are black.
Mary Rosenblum, Long Ridge Web Editor
1. What is writers block?
Writerĺs block is any hurdle that stops us from writing. Whether itĺs real or imagined, if itĺs keeping you from creating then itĺs worthy of attention. I believe that writerĺs block is real, however, Iĺm a working writer with deadlines and a mortgage. Rather than stumble for months with writerĺs block and since I like to eat three meals at day (at least!), Iĺve found ways to beat it. Writerĺs block if often caused by 1) fatigue. If Iĺm tired or frazzled or worn out because of illness or troubles, Iĺm not going to be creative. Thereĺs no doubt about that. And 2) by insufficient preparation. If I have no clue about that which Iĺm writing, Iĺm going to have a hard time. Sounds silly? Here are some tipsŚresearch, rest, take time off, re-read your work, send a thank you note to someone who has been kind and/or supportive and then refocus yourself. Every profession has times of self-doubt, but I wonder if the dry cleaner has dry cleanerĺs block. I definitely hope my hairdresser never starts doing my "do" and stops half way because she had hairdresserĺs block.
2. How do you avoid writersĺ block? Ways to avoid it? Yes, practice your craft. Write every day and learn how to become a better writer. Itĺs frustrating to attempt to create a gourmet meal if youĺve never cooked anything but Campbellĺs soup. Likewise, itĺs frustrating to attempt to write a novel or essay if you have trouble writing an articulate e-mail.
3. Do you recommend any exercises to deal with it? Yes, in my writing journal/workbook "Writeriffic" (Writeriffic Publishing Company, available at www.writeriffic.com, 866-244-9047), youĺll find oodles of writing prompts and techniques to get the muse in action. Try this, choose an item and then for five minutes write what you might do with 100 of the item. "With 100 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches Iĺd feedů" "With 100 dogs, Iĺd probably go mad, but wouldů"
4. How do you wake up your muse? Read, take classes, attend conferences but whatever you do WRITE. Writing as an addiction and hobby, profession and career, isnĺt for wimps. Thatĺs why itĺs called workůit takes determination and energy to write. Not every day will be a good writing day, not every day will you discover wonderful sparkling prose coming out of your brain. It takes workůbut I believe that we all have a God-given creative side and can tap into it. I highly recommend doing at least one non-writing non-creative or creative thing every day, from walking to painting, anything that make you happy. I love to walk, and put on four miles a day. While I walk, I think of plots or characters and article ideas and publicity for my nonfiction books. I also keep healthy and maintain a healthy weight. Find out what works for you.
5. What do you do when the words donĺt come? Get away from the computer or your journal and do something really nice for another or yourself, call another writer for a SHORT chat, visit the bookstore, get some water, garden and pull weeds, play with your animal companion. You are not a bad writer if words do not come; sometimes youĺre simply a tired writer.
6. Does health affect your writing? Iĺm an energetic woman and yet, Iĺve had some health issues in the past that have put a strain on my writing. When Iĺm ill, I usually come into my office to write (my home office) and thereĺs always something to do, something to work on. This really does make me feel better. I think as much as health, we writers need to make sure we have a good supportive chair, proper lighting, and ventilation and eat regularly.
7. How much is my family support or lack of it going to affect my writing? In a perfect world, every writer would have a wonderful family, spouse and great friends who adore every word written. In our world, thatĺs simply not the case. If you do not get the support from your loved ones, then carefully find someone who you can bounce ideas off of and/or trust with the latest draft of your work. Remember, creativity scares people. Everyone knows how weird us writers can be, so be gentle with your family when they do not understand your writing. BUT do not stop because they do not support you.
8. How can you get your family to support you? Thereĺs never a single way, but since the Golden Rule is pretty darn complete you might try that. Are you supporting their lives and hobbies and new adventures? If you are not, perhaps thatĺs your answer.
9. How do I deal with rejection slips? If youĺve never heard the word "no" before, well youĺve just read it now. That really is the worst that can happen. An editor might say, "No thanks." This is not a rejection of YOU but rather a statement that your work isnĺt right for that editor or agent. If you let "no" stop you, then sorry, you will not become a published writer.
10. Can you recommend any good books to spark my creativity? Yes, Writeriffic: Creativity Training for Writers by meůyes, this is shameless self promotion, but why would I not recommend the book that I slaved over and that has inspired thousands of my online writing and traditional university writing class students! I also love The Courage to Write, Self-Editing for Fiction Writers, Lessons from a Lifetime of Writing and The Artistĺs Way.
11. What are some good sources for publishing? Writerĺs Market is THE source, and you can access lots of magazines and online ezines by searching on the ĹNet. Be sure to save all the magazines you read and see how your work or genre might fit into those.
12. How can you find an agent? What do agents really do? If you want an agent, be sure to read Writerĺs Guide to Book Editors, Publishers ad Literary Agents by Jeff Herman, available at bookstores and libraries. You can find an agent in this reference book but I recommend attending writing conferences and networking with other writers for referrals to their agents. Remember, an agent works for you and a good one can bring you work. Agents represent your writing (only books) to publishers and theyĺre also there when problems occur, should that happen, later on. For instance, if I was having trouble with a publisher who was not making books available at book signings, I would call my agent and ask her to straighten this out.
13. How many drafts do you do before youĺre finished? At least 10ůsometimes many more.
19. Can critique groups be bad for a new writer? Yes, critique groups can be badůand waste an emerging writerĺs time. If you hang out with time wasters, you can become one.
20. What happens at a writing conference? Come and visit my site, www.evashaw.com, and click on "In Person" to see where Iĺll be speaking in the next six monthsůat many writing conferences. At writing conferences, youĺll meet and mingle with scores to hundreds of writers, publishers, agents, editors and experts. I believe they are valuable to writers of all levels IF the writer wants to improve his/her craft. At most conferences there are workshops and lectures, always great food, time to talk one-on-one with publishers and agents, and the motivation for any writer is outstanding. Find one that meets your budget and then give it a try.
21. Have you ever had your writing rejected? Zillions of times. At first it hurt. Iĺve found rejection is a lot like aerobic exercise. At first, especially if youĺve been sedentary, exercise is a killerŚeverything hurts, including your butt muscles. But after consistent exercise for say a month and many workouts, you no longer have aching muscles. The same is true with rejection, if you keep at pitching your work, the rejections hurt less. They still come to meůtomorrow or maybe Monday Iĺm going to revise an article Iĺm reading for a leading health magazine because the editor, who accepted my query and loved my idea, now wants a total restructure of the 2500 piece. Will it be better this time around? No, but it will be different and if I want to sell this article and I do, then as a business person, I work to please my customer (who happens to be the editor).
22. Why do query letters fail? Because there isnĺt a strong hook. They fail because the writer hasnĺt used the 5Wĺs and the H* to itemize what she/he will include in the article. They fail when the writer takes on a topic that is too big for an article. The fail when the writer cannot explain why he/she should be able to write the article. They fail because a writer doesnĺt send them or quits sending them before finding the right magazine.
editorĺs note: Who, What, Where, When, Why, and Howů.
23. How can we learn to write effective hooks? This is a favorite topic with me. I give this exercise in my online writing classes and in the traditional university ones, too. Get a copy of Readerĺs Digest (not to send your articles to, because as you know they rarely by original material) and read the hooks on the articles. Notice the techniques that are consistently used and which most appeals to you. Study a number of issues and then look at the hooks for the articles in magazines you want to write for. Duplicate the styles.
24. How can we stop that internal critic? Put him/her in a large boxŚdo not drill holes in the box as that can defeat your purpose. Next trash-pick-up-day, put the box at the curb. Wave goodbye. OR, read The Courage to Write, by Ralph Keyes or The Artistĺs Way by Julia Cameron. You can also send your critic to me, P. O. Box 524, Carlsbad, CA 92018, www.evashaw.com, and I have ways of dealing with even the peskiest of them.
25. What makes a good writer? Tenacity. Do not give up. My first book, 60 Second Shiatzu, was rejected by 49 publishers. Old #50 bought it and with that publisher it went into 9 printings, it was sold and published in 13 foreign countries, Simon and Schuster bought it for distribution throughout the UK, Quality Paperback Book Club published in 5 or 6 times, and a few years ago Henry Holt Publishers bought the rights and with six months of the first printing it came out again. So if Iĺd given up with five rejections or 25, I wouldnĺt have had that publishing success, that money (royalties are GOOD) and that story to tell. My book Shovel It: Natureĺs Health Plan was criticized by a number of publishers and rejected. I didnĺt give up and since itĺs been published, itĺs been praised to no end in USA Today, Washington Post, San Diego Union Tribune, Wall Street Journal, Country Living Gardener about 100 other publications. If you know you must write, write. If you have doubts, write. Only you can make yourself a successful writer or a writer who only talks about "someday."
