Dieses Spiel bietet dem Star Trek-Fan wirklich ALLES, was er braucht! Sympathische Charaktere, eine schöne Story, einen leichten Einstieg und die geliebten Werte, welche die Reihe ausmachen. Man merkt, dass hier wirklich Star Trek-Liebhaber am Werk waren. Es ist kaum zu beschreiben, wie viel Liebe zum Detail in diesem Spiel steckt. Besonders schön ist es, dass am Ende der Kobayashi Maru-Test auf einen wartet, womit ein perfekter Übergang zum Anfang des zweiten Star Trek-Filmes geschlagen wird. Hierbei handelt es sich für mich eindeutig um das beste Konsolenspiel zum Thema Star Trek. Dieses Spiel sollte in keiner Sammlung einfach nur versauern, es sollte gespielt werden. Besonders am 40. Geburtstag der besten Science-Fiction-Serie, natürlich nach Babylon 5 *fg*. In diesem Sinne: Live long and prosper…

Starfleet Academy is as good as having the bridge of the Enterprise right in your living room. All in all, this is one adventure game Star Trek fans won't want to miss.
SNESGamePro (US)
Trekkers may argue vehemently over who's the better captain - Kirk or Picard - but they'd all like to do one thing; command the Enterprise. Here's the chance.
SNESGame Players
You become a cadet at the famed Starfleet Academy, which unfortunately isn't as cool as you thought it might be. The graphics aren't all that hot and the classic missions don't really affect the game outcome at all.
SNESElectronic Gaming Monthly (EGM)
A nice variation on the theme (and departure from the previous Star Trek game), this one is more comprehensive in that it is more than just a shooter - you must master all aspects of a starship's functions. The combat training is a little aggravating at first, with enemies that hit you several times before you even see them.
SEGA 32XGamePro (US)
The graphics and sound fluctuate. The pix are sharp overall, but the first-person view-screen visuals lack pizzazz. The soundtrack's repetitive Star Trek movie theme will drive you crazy. Trekkers will enjoy this Academy, but only for a semester or two.
SEGA 32XVideo Games & Computer Entertainment
Alas, even though the programmers sneakily confined the action to a "viewscreen" that's less than half the size of a TV screen, the gameplay still slows down too much for my liking. Sloppy programming or the wimpy "32-bit" hardware? Ya gotta wonder. The verdict: a shooter for Star Trek weenies only.
SEGA 32XElectronic Gaming Monthly (EGM)
As in the Super NES version, Starfleet Academy has many options, scenarios and a simulator to practice your battling techniques and miniscenarios. This game does not exploit the capabilities pf the 32X - I was expecting more out of the graphics and sound. The game would be better off if there was music and cleaner graphics. Overall, Trekkies might find it enjoyable because of the familiar sights and sounds from the popular series, but once again, I was expecting more.
SNESVideo Games
Star Trek Starfleet Academy ist ein Adventurespiel, in dem Ihr die Rolle eines Raumschiffkapitäns der Föderation proben könnt. Einmal am Trainingssimulator eingetroffen, müßt ihr Entscheidungen über militärische, diplomatische oder humanitäre Operationen treffen und ein Raumschiff durch den Polygon-Weltraum lenken. Letzteres läuft meistens darauf hinaus, ein Objekt im All zu orten und Shoot'em Up damit zu spielen. Die Gegner sind altbekannt Klingonen und Romulaner, die sich gewohnt aggressiv verhalten. Im Simulator, wo zusätzliche Missionen angewählt werden können und im 2P-Modus dürft Ihr diese auch selbst steuern. Ein Muß für Trekkies.
SNESJust Games Retro
The shoddy, lumbering battle system is almost certainly why Starfleet Academy got tagged as a bad game. If that's what you've shown up for, then you're right to criticize. My real disappointment is that they didn't fuse a decent combat/flight engine (like the PC version of Academy) with the adventure-like mysteries and diplomacy seen here. Overall, it's a series of generally well-written missions that nails the tone of the show, hampered by a choppy engine running on (arguably) the wrong platform altogether.
SEGA 32XUltimate Gamer Magazine
Can you believe it? Two 32X games in the same issue? You'd think someone bought the thing. 32X's graphics and sound capabilities are used effectively here, unfortunately this game is boring. Trek geeks can test themselves in a number of areas to see if they have what it takes to dawn the uniform of a Starfleet officer. Yawn. They should make fewer Star Trek and more Star Wars games.
SNESTotal! (Germany)
Somit können wir dieses Modul nur echten Trekkies (und Trekkern) empfehlen, die zufrieden sind, wenn irgendwo ein Star-Trek-Logo prangt. Weltraumschlachten könnt Ihr mit dem alten 'Wing Commander' besser austragen.
SEGA 32XSega-16.com
Overall this is a pretty poor game. The ambition was there, but they just didn't seem to know how to put it all together and make a game out of it. It's still good as a waste of time if you're a serious Trekkie, though if you are you've probably played the PC version which is actually a good game that I'll recommend well before telling you to spend your money on this. Starfleet Academy: Starship Bridge Simulator was an overall disappointment and could've been much more than just a simple port had they put any effort into it. Even with its moments of nostalgia it's still one of the reasons why a black cloud hangs over the Star Trek video game franchise.
At heart, this is a glorified Star Raiders clone with better graphics but far worse gameplay. You have access to layers of menus with all sorts of data and instrumentation, but only a geek versed in Star Trek techno-babble could digest any of this garbage. The first person shooting "action" is painfully dull. The enemy ships are fully 3D, but their movements are sluggish and the AI is idiotic. Being an academic environment, there's also opportunity to meet and socialize with your fellow space cadets. Here I stumbled upon the single redeeming feature of the game: a pool table! That right, you can challenge classmates to a game a pool, which is by far the highlight of this cartridge. The pool balls are huge but they rotate nicely and the game is easy to play. As you can deduce, Starfleet Academy really isn't much of a game. It's probably the worst 32X title I've come across.

Many of you no doubt will be glad to hear there will be no "Baer Growls" until mid-September as the blog slides into a little late-summer hibernation.
This doesn't mean there won't be things to growl about. But when you come across silly, new, odd or disgusting things in the wonderful world of politics - and you KNOW you will - you'll just have to provide growls of your own.

I'm not a lawyer nor an advocate for former Democratic South Philly state Sen. Vince Fumo, but there's something bothersome about the government's continued pursuit of the one-time political powerhouse after his trial, sentencing and as he sits in a federal prison in Ashland, Kentucky.
A ruling yesterday by a federal appeals court tossing Fumo's sentence of 4 years, 7 months imposed by U.S. District Senior Judge Ronald Buckwalter in July 2009 sets up the possibility Fumo could face 20 years.
At 68, and given his history of health issues, that easily could mean the rest of his life.

National funnyman Stephen Colbert is getting lots of attention with his recently formed political action committee, "Citizens for a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow," including this piece in today's New York Times.
Colbert, of cable TV's Comedy Central, ran for president in 2007, but now seems far more serious in efforts to make fun of the political process.
He, of course, wasn't the first comedian for run for office. Pat Paulsen started things off back in 1968. Texas singer-comedian Kinky Friedman ran for governor in `06 (against incumbent and rising GOP darling Rick Perry). And comedian Al Franken of Saturday Night Live fame was elected to the U.S. Senate from Minnesota in `08.

Hershey, "the sweetest place on earth," is getting its share of sour press.
The town, the company - even the chocolate - long maintained the positive image left by its founder, Milton Hershey, who built a factory, hotel, park and more and left his fortune to his school for underpriveleged kids.
Now, I'm thinking, Milton wouldn't be happy.

UPDATE: Rep. Sturla today apologized for using the term "womenfolk." He couched it with the usual "if anyone was offended."
A member of state House Democratic leadership is offering a new argument against expanded drilling for natural gas -- one that's got the GOP all gassed up.
Rep. Mike Sturla, D-Lancaster County, head of the House Democratic Policy Committee, was asked by the online news service capitolwire.com to respond to a Corbett administration contention that expanding drilling in state forests would "solve just about every economic problem we have."

Marketplace Morning Report for Monday, November 25, 2013
Episode Teaser Image
Episode Description
In the U.S., some chief executives get more than a thousand times the average worker pay at their companies. In Switzerland the votes have just been counted on a measure that would limit CEO compensation there to just 12 times what everyone else makes. The holiday season brings with it boom times for retailers each year. But it's also a great time for charities looking to replenish their coffers. We look at how the Thanksgiving spirit in particular can be a recruiting tool for the philanthropies. And, the British producers of the international hit drama "Downton Abbey" are cashing in new and ornate ways. In Britain and in the U.S., they've rolled out a huge range of branded merchandise -- clothes, jewelry, make up, wine. But they may have missed out on what could have been one massive market: China.

This article alleges Mother Theresa wasn't so holy: she took money from dictators like Duvalier, engaged in shady accounting practices, offered medallions and prayer but didn't give any palliative care to the sick, kept her hospitals in a filthy condition, and wanted the sick to "suffer like Christ on the cross". However she was a master of public relations.
I have one more fake, then, to add to the pile: Fake saints!

ALBANY — Dougherty County School Child Nutrition Services Director Vanessa Hayes has tendered her resignation.
A source who spoke on the condition of anonymity told The Albany Herald on Friday that Hayes turned in her resignation early Friday afternoon "to pursue a better job opportunity."
Hayes' contract was not renewed in May following a motion by School Board member Velvet Riggins, who had been indicted by a Dougherty County grand jury on charges that she had fruadulently obtained free or reduced-cost school lunches for her children.
In a surprise move in late June, Hayes was offered a new contract. Board member David Maschke made the motion to reconsider Hayes' non-renewal, and she was returned to her position on a 4-2 vote, with Riggins abstaining.

Good for her. Ms. Hayes has done more for Child Nutrition in the Dougherty County Schools than most will ever know. She has been recognized in the state and nationally for her innovative programs. She has increased student participation in breakfast and lunch through better meals and better service. Think what you want, she is someone that truly cares about the wellbeing of the children in this county, unlike the sol called "leaders" of the school system. Instead of standing behind her and applauding her efforts, the board tried to eliminate her because they viewed her as a threat.
bigbob 3 years, 3 months ago
Glad she got outta this dump, congrats.
Sister_Ruby 3 years, 3 months ago
This is too funny. Vaya Con Dios, Ms. Hayes. In your new position.....if anybody tells you to do something that is illegal, unethical, or makes you feel like it's something shady.....don't do it!

2003 Pontiac Vibe • 4 cylinder Manual • 91,000 miles
My 2003 Pontiac Vibe has a ticking noise coming from the area of the vent immediately left of the glove compartment when the fan is on. If I press the recirculate button the noise stops. If I move the hose behind the vent around the ticking changes frequency and volume. Any idea what is causing it and how to fix it? Thanks
December 20, 2010.
December 20, 2010.
You may need to remove the blower motor to see if you have some leaves or paper stuck in there. The fact that changing it to recirculate changes the sound tends to point to that area.

I had this problem on mine. The servo that controls the recirculating director has a stripped gear in it. If you pull out the glove box you'll be able to locate it and takes 5 minutes to replace.

How is Janeway sexy? (Part II)

Re: How is Janeway sexy? (Part II)
To be honest, I don't ever look too closely at that picture because of her poor feet. I remember one time she said she ruined them "for the fans" and she's right. That is what years of wearing high heeled shoes will do to you, ladies. I learned to embrace my short stature years ago and my feet thank me for it.
Of course, Janeway and Kate are both still beautiful, damaged feet notwithstanding.
I'm thinking I need to rewatch some Voyager sometime soon!!!

TGN writes,"PC Gamers worldwide are gearing up for a potential boycott of Modern Warfare 2 after the announced price hike by Activision. At the time of this news posting, almost 68% of respondents say that they will not support the newer, higher price. Most say that Activision's excuse about the weakness of world currency is not to blame, and they refuse to pay the higher price.
"According to a straw poll conducted here on the Total Gaming Network, it is clear that the majority of PC gamers will not support the price hike on Modern Warfare 2.
"Some, however, do agree with the decision and say the additional $10 or $15 will not deter them from purchasing the game, while others say that they will follow their standard purchasing pattern and buy the game when retailers sell it for a discount."

LOS ANGELES – Makers of counterfeit NFL jerseys have been sacked a total of 304 times since the season started in September, losing an estimated $847,000 worth of jerseys seized by Customs and Border Protection officers at Los Angeles and Ontario international airports, authorities said Thursday.
In a string of seizures from Sept. 8, 2011 through Wednesday, CBP officers intercepted 304 parcels containing 10,710 fake NFL jerseys at air cargo consignment locations in Los Angeles and Ontario, dealing a blow to counterfeiters hoping to capitalize on football-season fever.
"CBP officers and import specialists are highly specialized in product identification, detection and interception of trademark violators," said Todd C. Owen, director of field operations for the CBP in Los Angeles. "Counterfeit sports apparel typically looks similar to brand-name jerseys but are cheaper and of poorer quality."
Traffickers in counterfeit and pirated goods hurt the U.S. economy and often fund criminal enterprises, Owen added.

The Slow Demise of a Unicorn Everybody knows how the first tech boom went bust. But this time around, something's different. More than 100 tech start-ups are currently valued at more than $1 billion dollars, if you go by what VCs and other early investors have paid to buy ownership stakes. Unlike in the early 2000s, very few of today's unicorns have gone public, so there's no way to know what the market really thinks they're worth. Lately though, it seems like the hype train may be coming of the rails. So what happens to those companies now? The New York Times profiles Living Social to find out.

"We all know tech is excluding most people from participating. But one group is actually over represented. And we've been conspicuously silent."

Truth as quantified externality
Amazon has posted (on Medium, natch) an aggressive response to the "everyone at Amazon is miserable but also paid well but also crying all the time" story in the New York Times [Previously]. This story and its aftermath represent a bit of a trap, particularly in discussions on Twitter: If you think the original story contained both valuable information and flaws, your default position is to go to bat for the Times; if you read this story as a portrait of a tough workplace written to cast it in the worst possible light, but acknowledge that it contained some worrying anecdotes, then your tendency will be to defend Amazon.

"The life I'm living right now is just so much more fun."
As the demand for tech labor grows, ambitious teenagers are flooding into San Francisco. There's no official tally of the number of teens who work in tech, but Fontenot estimates that there are as many as a hundred recent high school dropouts working on startups in the city. Some were too distracted by programming projects and weekend hackathons to go to class. Others couldn't pay for college and questioned why they should go into debt when there is easy money to be made. Still others had already launched successful apps or businesses and didn't see why they should wait at home for their lives to start. In Facebook groups for young technologists, they saw an alternative: teens lounging in sunny Dolores Park (dolo, as they call it), teens leasing expansive South of Market office space, teens throwing parties whenever they want. And so they moved to San Francisco, many of them landing in houses like Mission Control. -- The Real Teens of Silicon Valley: Inside the almost-adult lives of the industry's newest recruits

Socialist Worker on tech
Artisanal Tech Satire-- kind of like a llama you've never heard of
"Who wrote this amazing, mysterious book satirizing tech startup culture?" "A mysterious little book called Iterating Grace is floating around San Francisco right now. At least a dozen people have received the book in the mail—or in my case, by secret hand-delivery to my house. (Which is a little creepy.) The artifact itself consists of a 2,001-word story interspersed with hand-drawn recreations of tweets by venture capitalists and startup people like Chris Sacca, Paul Graham, Brad Feld, Sam Altman, and others. The story's lead character, Koons Crooks, goes on a spiritual quest by contemplating the social media feeds emanating from the startup world. It leads him to a Bolivian volcano and a chillingly hilarious final act with some cans of cat food, a DIY conference badge, and a pack of vicuñas (which are sort of like llamas)."
If productivity improves, that is morally good.
"But the problem runs much deeper, because Silicon Valley's amorality problem arises from the implicit and explicit narrative of progress companies use for marketing and that people use to find meaning in their work. By accepting this narrative of progress uncritically, imagining that technological change equals historic human betterment, many in Silicon Valley excuse themselves from moral reflection. Put simply, the progress narrative short-circuits moral reflection on the consequences of new technologies."

Slots/Gaming/Psych Rewards/Skinnerbox
"But the expansion of gaming generally is the expansion of slot machines specifically — the modern casino typically earns 70 to 80 percent of its revenue from slots, a stratospheric rise from the 1970s when slots comprised 50 percent or less. New York, the latest state to introduce gaming, doesn't even allow table games, and Pennsylvania, now the third-largest gaming state in the country after Nevada and New Jersey, only later allowed table games in an amendment to its legislation. And increasingly, the psychological and technical systems originally built for slot machines — including reward schedules and tracking systems — have found admirers in Silicon Valley."

How Super Angel Chris Sacca Made Billions, Burned Bridges...
...And Crafted The Best Seed Portfolio Ever
But his track record is also flecked with broken friendships and hard feelings. While he keeps a relatively low media profile–this story marks the first time he's cooperating for a major story–his big mouth, incessant name-dropping and blunt elbows cause eyes to roll. "He's got a bit of a hero complex," says a peer who knows him well. "He's an amazing investor, but that's not enough–he has to do this heroic stuff." At Google he crashed every meeting he could and then wouldn't shut up. Twitter eventually had to pass a rule, driven in part by Sacca, barring nonemployees from showing up at all-staff meetings. He and Uber CEO Travis Kalanick, once close friends, now barely speak, despite Sacca's major stake in the company.

The Women I Pretend to Be, by novelist and game writer Naomi Alderman (previously):
No one in tech has ever been as sexist toward me as teachers and rabbis before I was 12 years old. But I've come to notice more and more how working within the particular masculine sexism of the tech industry has nudged the way I present myself, just a little. I've noticed how, very slowly, I've started to acquiesce into playing roles that get assigned to me. I've noticed how I disappear behind these masks.
What follows is not a horror story. It's a series of moments.
Yesterday, Jay-Z's streaming music service Tidal was launched. The press event featured over a dozen celebrity musicians as signing "owners" of the service (each reportedly received 3% equity in exchange for exclusive content), and, by some accounts, was a bit awkward and content-free. At $19.99, the subscription plan is double the cost of competing services like Spotify, and no "freemium" plan is offered. The justification is two-fold: 1. Artists should be compensated fairly for streaming; and 2. The service's high-fidelity, lossless streaming is far superior to the current standard (320 kbps AAC, as Spotify and Rdio currently provide.) You can take an online blind test between 320 kbps AAC and Tidal's lossless streaming, to see if you have the "equipment and ears" for lossless music. Is there really a noticeable difference, or is this snake oil? Will the artist-forward approach change the conversation and ingrained habits of streaming music listeners? Is Tidal a sort of streaming for the 1% rather than for struggling independent musicians? Is it a walled garden for artists at the expense of fans? Or is this all simply a great vertical move for Jay-Z's Roc Nation label? So many questions.

Inside Amsterdam's efforts to become a smart city
Amsterdam wants to be smarter than you. And it's well on its way. The Netherlands capital is on a mission to turn itself into the smartest city in the world. Through a collaboration with government officials, private companies including telecom giant KPN, and the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences, the city is quickly becoming a futuristic tech hub.
Why I Am Not a Maker
There's a widespread idea that "People who make things are simply different [read: better] than those who don't." [...] It's not, of course, that there's anything wrong with making (although it's not all that clear that the world needs more stuff). The problem is the idea that the alternative to making is usually not doing nothing—it's almost always doing things for and with other people, from the barista to the Facebook community moderator to the social worker to the surgeon. Describing oneself as a maker—regardless of what one actually or mostly does—is a way of accruing to oneself the gendered, capitalist benefits of being a person who makes products. [more inside]

girls and technology!
WYNC's Manoush Zomorodi investigates the gender gap in tech and computer science, and finds a number of people working towards bridging that gap, from childhood to university: completely restructuring a required computer science course to make it more welcoming to female university students, celebrating women in computing history (and recognizing that computer science wasn't so male-dominated, and making children's books and toys (even dollhouses!) for kids to explore programming concepts on their own. She also noticed that the majority of female computer science students in the US had grown up overseas - possibly because computer science isn't a common subject in American high schools. This is slated to change: a new AP Computer Science subject is in the works, with efforts to get 10,000 highly-trained computer science teachers in 10,000 high schools across the US.

Armoring Up: Surviving Sexism As A Female Founder
Editor's note: We don't publish many anonymous pieces on Forbes.com, but this compelling first-person account of sexism in the startup world merits an exception. I met the author several months ago and was floored by the stories she had to tell about her dealings with mostly male investors. Like many men (as she writes), I knew women in tech faced a certain degree of chauvinism and harassment, but I'd had no idea it was so barefaced and routine, in an industry that thinks of itself as egalitarian and forward-looking. After much persuading, she agreed to write about her experiences but asked that I omit her name, for several reasons. First (again, as she writes), the startup community is a small one, and founders rely heavily on social capital and goodwill to navigate it. Speaking up carries big risks. But fear of retribution wasn't her only concern. While putting an individual human face on an issue, it can also be a way for critics to short circuit the discussion by engaging in ad hominem attacks. "I don't want it to be about me, but about the issue at hand," the author says. "When we get into a witch hunt around particular personalities, we lose sight of the problem we should be tackling."

Re: NFL 2013 Off-Season Discussion
Is that really your argument? That basketball arenas hold 20k and thus the Ravens would only draw 20k because the other 50k are all busy observing Rosh Hashanah? That the NFL opener would be at any risk of being blacked out? Over a religious holiday that 90% of Americans wouldn't even know was occurring that day unless someone told them?
I picked those examples because those are the major sports leagues that are in season on Easter.
I'm not even saying that minority holidays should be given no consideration, but if Thursday doesn't work thanks to the logistics of having an MLB game next door, it's the obvious solution.

Tuesday is the first day of the 2013-14 school year for most of the students in Wisconsin. Their teachers, support staff and administrators have already been working to prepare for the new school year.
If you can think back to when you returned after summer vacation, the first weeks were imbued with the familiar sights, smells and sounds of school in September. Some students will dread start of school while others will look forward to it with a touch of excitement and a touch of hesitation for the unknown as some will be in different buildings with new teachers and some new classmates.
Despite huge changes in the education landscape of the last two years, more challenges and changes await teachers and staff this year.
Mandated teacher effectiveness evaluations are expected to start, with the Green Bay, Ashwaubenon, De Pere and West De Pere school districts using a state Department of Public Instruction model, while the Howard-Suamico and Pulaski school districts and Green Bay Area Catholic Education System use a different model.
Schools will continue to implement the Common Core State Standards Initiative but its future is unsure amid mounting criticism. The new math and reading standards are under legislative scrutiny while the science and social studies standards have been put on hold as costs are examined. Common Core standards set rigorous benchmarks for reading and math
We will also see the expansion of the voucher school program this year. Five hundred students will receive taxpayer-funded vouchers to help pay for private school tuition. The program was expanded to the whole state in the 2013-15 state budget that was approved in June despite criticism of lack of oversight and public funds going to private institutions.
Meanwhile, the number of public school teachers increased for the first time in three years, according to the Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance, a nonpartisan public policy research and citizen education group.
On a more local level, the De Pere School District starts 4-year-old kindergarten this year, one of the last to start a pre-kindergarten program, and the Pulaski School District has a new superintendent.
Despite all the changes, one thing remains constant - the expertise, care and nurturing teachers and school staffs give children. As in any profession, education has some professionals who don't uphold the standards, but the majority of them continue to provide for your children in a field that has unfairly come under attack.
As the school year begins, let's thank our teachers and staff for the tough job they do. And let's encourage our students to take advantage of this educational opportunity they have before them.

sick twisted bastards
September 11, 2012
Sick twisted bastard of a yoga instructor tonight. I swear this guy used to reign over the Fifth Circle of Hell but he was too rough on people so they cast him out and he ended up at my yoga studio. He didn't just make us do terrible hard things, he made jokes while he was doing it and laughed because he knew how hard the things he was making us do were.
After I limped home and was licking my wounds thinking how damn hard that session was, and thinking, Yeah, but you'll go back to that guy's class, damn him, because no matter how hard it was, it was good —
It occurred to me that is quite possibly how my students think about me. I'm not easy. My classes are hard. Some of them extremely hard. I know it. And I make jokes. They are not mean or derogatory jokes, they are basically saying, Yeah, I feel your pain, but you still have to get that knee over that left ear so let's go. But they are still jokes.
There is a shirt, "I Survived Max Adams' Structural Writing." That shirt totally started out as a joke. Except —
People who finish Structural Writing buy that shirt. It's not a joke any more. That shirt has turned into some sort of medal of honor.
My students come back. But after tonight, I wonder if it is maybe for a different reason than I used to think. Damn. I'm the sick twisted bastard instructor.
How did THAT happen?
Excuse me now, I have to go soak in a tub of hot water.
*If you do not recognize the image above, it is from Legend, Tim Curry plays a great sick twisted bastard.
*Structural Writing is only open to people who have taken previous AFW classes so don't get all het up and try to jump in there first — I won't let you — go look at other classes. Like High Concept Writing and The Art of the Pitch. Those are both coming up in a week and are good precursors.
pitch frenzy
September 5, 2012
Is how this is going to go down.
[It always goes down like this.]
I have these two classes opening September 18th.
One is The Art of the Pitch. That's about learning how to pitch a story so you don't soil yourself in front of a crowd of spectators.
The other is High Concept Writing. That's how to work on a story concept so it isn't the first thing that popped into your head that felt clever at 2 AM on a Friday night with a few beers in you — and you just never got around to maybe bringing it up a notch — before tossing months of your life into the sand pit with it.
Both those classes start September 18th and run through October. Right about the time people start showing up at the Austin Film Festival and pitching ideas in the big pitch rally at Austin Film Festival that sounds like a gauntlet to me but I have never watched it in person because it is just too painful to me to watch people crash and burn like that.
What will invariably happen is right about the time these classes are coming to an end, someone [or several someone's] will email me in a panic, getting geared up for the pitch event at AFF, and want me to drop everything and leap to help [with no time to do it in] with a pitch –- most likely on a concept that wasn't thought out all that well before starting the script in the first place.
And I'll say, Look, I teach a class on this, Why didn't you take the class? That would have given you five to six weeks to work on the pitch with me before this came up. Or better yet, to work on the story so you had a story worth pitching here? Now you've got three days, who do you think I am, Anne Sullivan?
[Even Anne Sullivan got more than three days.]
And they won't have a good answer.
Don't be one of those people. Go sign up for the pitch class.

Sister to Sister: Transform Your Life...Today!
Karen M.R. Townsend, Ph.D., Conference Host, (937) 602-4641
Saturday, September 20, 2014 from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM (EDT)
Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Event Details
Recently, while standing in line at the post office, I overhead two men talking. (OK. I was eavesdropping!) In standard guy fashion, they were talking about sports.
Who would go first in the NFL draft?
- Who would win the NBA finals?
- Would LeBron really go back to Cleveland?
Of course by now, we have all the answers to each of those questions. But there was one question the men discussed that is still unanswered.
Guy #1 Have you been golfing lately?
Guy #2 Yes. I have been playing the courses around town, but one day, I would really like to play in California. It would be a dream come true to play on one of those courses near the coastline so I could look at the ocean while I play.
Guy #1 That sounds great! When are you going?
Guy #2 I don't know. Someday.
Why is it that we find it easy to talk about our dreams, but find it much harder to identify WHEN those dreams will become a reality?
How many times have YOU said: One day? Someday?
Why not…TODAY?
Join me at the 2014 Sister to Sister Conference when we will challenge you with sisterly love to Transform Your Life…TODAY!
This year's conference will be a bit different from our past events. Instead of our typical one-day conference where you choose from a "menu" of workshops, we will offer two inspiring sessions designed to complement one another. In the morning, we will focus on where you are now and where you want to be in the future. In the afternoon, we will work collaboratively to create the plan to get you there.
First comes thought; then comes organization of that thought into ideas and plans; then transformation of those plans into reality.
—Napoleon Hill
If you are ready to Transform Your Life, then join me on September 20.
Complete your registration and return it…
Not one day. Not someday. TODAY!
Love to all my sisters!
When & Where
Sinclair Community College

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Ever wonder what makes young, pretty, "good" girls pursue careers in porn?
So did Deborah Anderson, that's why she made a documentary and fine-art photography book on the subject. "Aroused" opens in select theaters Thursday and is available for download on iTunes. The book is available on Amazon.
Many of the 16 adult-film actresses featured in "Aroused" attended the film's premiere Wednesday night at the Landmark Theatre and hung around afterward to autograph the coffee-table book.
Anderson was inspired to explore these women's stories after casting a porn star in a photo shoot for a magazine. She was struck by the woman's warm personality and her stories of harsh treatment from the public despite contributing to a widely consumed product of a billion-dollar industry.
The porn stars in the film don't see themselves as failed actresses. They say they enjoy their work and see off-duty sex as having nothing to do with their day jobs. All say they have had sexually transmitted diseases. Most share concern for how others view their profession and worry whether this could impede future job or romantic prospects.
Anderson said she hopes the book and film will spotlight the humanity of these women and the sensuality of their work.
