SHEPHERDSVILLE - When it comes to doing the right thing and helping a family in the community that deals with special needs, the Outdoors Without Limits Bernheim Chapter is on the right track.
The area organization strives to bring the outdoors to those who otherwise could not enjoy due to individual disabilities.
OWL made it possible for one young man to venture outdoors thanks to the donation of an Action Track Chair, a special form of wheelchair designed with track wheels, like a tank, to allow more individual accessibility.
It was another big crowd on Saturday as the American Red Cross hosts its Valentine Gala at Paroquet Springs Conference Centre.
The Wulfe Brothers were joined by Sherry Edwards on stage for a night of singing and dancing.
See more photos and videos from the event in the multimedia section of www.pioneernews.net.
SHEPHERDSVILLE -- Students at Shepherdsville Elementary recently completed the requirement of the DARE program.
Besides going through the program, students were required to write a DARE essay.
Winners were Kileigh Schmidt, Abby Smith and Skylar Reed.
The graduates were:
Mount Washington Middle School students in Joey Hamilton's first period seminar class received national exposure for their video response on Channel One News.
CAMPBELLSVILLE -- With local churches canceling services during the recent snowstorm on Jan. 24, Campbellsville University students had nowhere to go to worship, so they took matters into their own hands.
At 10 o'clock that morning, the campus community assembled for a worship service in Ransdell Chapel. The service had a variety of parts, all led by students, including: worship, testimony, and preaching. These students were part of CU's Church Outreach team, which leads services each Sunday at local churches, ministering and preaching the gospel.
National FFA Week starts Feb. 20 and runs through Feb. 27.
To help celebrate this week, Tractor Supply is doing a paper emblem program.
In order to support the Bullitt East FFA Chapter, as well as other local groups like the Bullitt Central FFA chapter, Tractor Supply in Hillview is holding a fund-raiser.
All you have to do is go to your local Tractor Supply store and at the checkout there will be a paper FFA emblem that costs $1 during Feb. 19-28.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - Could it get any better than a hot meal, fun enrichment activities and extra time with friends? And it's all free to any Bullitt County residents between the ages of 4-18.
Shepherdsville Elementary began hosting a Kids Cafe program in November, in conjunction with Dare to Care and a Metro United Way grant provided to the school's Family Resource Center.
Kids Cafe is available every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday afternoon, on school days, from 4-5:30 p.m.
The Mount Washington Middle School Girls' Group recently got together to help show some veterans some love.
In honor of Valentine's Day, the girls collected cubed tissue boxes to decorate with colored pictures and encouraging notes for veterans spending the holiday in the VA hospital.
Bullitt East freshman Brooke Hatfield first volunteered the idea after her older brothers did the project in their church.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - Roby Elementary Classroom Intervention instructor Angela Olson was thirsting for a random act of kindness.
Wanting to make an impact to honor someone's memory, along with offering a public service project for Roby students, Olson learned of the water donation to Flint, Michigan, being made by Family Day Ministries.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - This year health officials want you to look inside your own heart by first looking inside theirs.
In the past nine years heart disease has remained one of the top causes of death in Bullitt County and throughout the country.
It's the primary reason the Bullitt County Heath Department continues efforts to raise awareness about the disease, helping to host the ninth annual Healthy Hearts Wear Red Luncheon at Paroquet Springs Conference Centre.

Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

[caption id="attachment_40584" align="alignleft" width="158" caption="Jeffrey Lerman"][/caption]
Short sales are increasing as a percentage of home sales, according to recent industry statistics. It's not surprising since a successful short sale enables the distressed homeowner to sell her home for market value -- even if it's less than the loans against it -- with lender consent, and move forward without a foreclosure on her record. Better yet, Fannie Mae has stated that you will be able to obtain a home loan five years earlier if your exit strategy is a short sale instead of a foreclosure.
Yet, the California Association of Realtors reports that fewer than three of five short sales close in California, illustrating the complexity and difficulty of navigating lenders' and servicers' short sale procedures. These facts, combined with the new California short sale law, require every prudent California homeowner in distress to be familiar with the short sale as a possible solution to their problem, and to consider using a lawyer to maximize their chance of success.
California Senate Bill 458, signed into law on July 15 and effective immediately as an urgency statue, corrects major defects in Code of Civil Procedure Section 580(e). While a detailed discussion of that new law is beyond the scope of this article, it essentially provides that when any lender agrees to a short sale, it cannot go after the borrower for any shortfall or deficiency between the sale proceeds and the loan amount.
The prior law, which went into effect just this past January, already enacted this restriction against lenders in first position. This new law extends this prohibition to all junior lenders as well. This could make all the difference for homeowners who, before this law, were discouraged from considering a short sale because of the lingering post-sale liability they would owe to junior lien holders.
The new law is subject to certain exceptions. Those probably don't apply to most homeowners, but you should consult an attorney familiar with short sales to make sure they don't apply to you.
Every homeowner considering a short sale, should get a lawyer involved in addition to a broker. Here's why:You need a lawyer to understand the law. The law governing short sales is set forth in complex statutes subject to frequent change. (As discussed above, a key one changed twice within the last eight months.) Those statutes are then interpreted and applied by the courts. It is almost impossible for a non-lawyer unassisted by legal counsel to understand the law, determine how it applies to his or her situation, and figure out the correct action plan under applicable law.Brokers can't give legal advice. California law prohibits real estate agents from giving legal advice -- unless they also happen to be a lawyer -- even if the agent knows the answer to your legal question. So, a broker cannot help you with the many legal questions you inevitably need answered to decide if a short sale is right for you.You need a lawyer to review all short-sale legal documents. To complete a short sale, you will need to sign no less than four legal documents with four different parties -- otherwise known as potential plaintiffs, if you're not careful:The listing agreement with the broker;The purchase and sale agreement with the buyer and probably multiple addenda required by your lender(s);The short sale agreement with your lender(s), andEscrow instructions with the escrow holder.Only a lawyer can give you legal advice about these legal documents, each of which requires certain legal language in a short sale transaction.A lawyer can improve your chances for short-sale success. Persuading one or more lenders to agree to walk away from a portion, or all, of the money you contractually promised to pay is a serious, tough negotiation, as the 40 percent-plus failure rate evidences. A lawyer can increase your chances for success by identifying and asserting appropriate legal arguments to persuade a lender it should approve your short sale.A lawyer can make sure you have no personal liability. The new law provides important asset protection benefits for homeowners. But it also contains exceptions that lenders may try to use to get to your assets. You need a lawyer to make sure your short-sale agreement with your lender has the right legal language so that you have no personal liability once the short sale is completed.
For any distressed homeowner going through the ordeal of a short sale, perhaps the biggest reason to hire a lawyer, even if they don't think they can afford one, is to get the peace of mind that once the sale is over they can get on with their life without worrying that their lenders may still come after their personal assets.•••

We Were Right to Stand Up to the Germans in 1914
Simon Heffer's claim in the MoS last week that the Great War was futile and is 'no cause for celebration' cannot go unchallenged. Like many, he dabbles in counter-factualism that is very misleading. We simply do not know that the war led to fascism and communism or the Cold War. I am surprised he didn't include the Spanish flu pandemic on that list.
The Great War is riddled with myths and falsehoods that have become ingrained in the popular imagination. One major myth is that it was an unnecessary war. Of course it wasn't unnecessary. We had no territorial ambitions in Europe, nor any designs on Germany's colonies, but what we could not accept was a Europe dominated by a potentially unfriendly power, particularly if that power subjugated Belgium and controlled our trade routes.
If France had been defeated, then Germany would have posed a threat to the UK and the Empire. If France had won without our help, we would have suffered opprobrium on a massive scale. Also, Mr Heffer, like many, ignores the fact that national honour in 1914 was a very important factor. Respect for treaties was regarded as central.
Colonel Barry Clayton (retired), Cleveleys, Lancashire This intelligent article by Mr Heffer needs to be part of every child's history lessons. Bellicose nationalism meant that the quiet voices of calm sanity were drowned out in 1914. …

Patriots cornerback Devin McCourty received two votes for Associated Press Defensive Rookie of the Year -- one from John Czarnecki of Fox Sports and one from Dave Goldberg of AOL Fanhouse.
On Friday, Czarnecki shared his thoughts on voting for McCourty.
Today, Goldberg offers up his analysis.
"I went with McCourty over [Ndamukong] Suh because I felt that even as a rookie, he transformed the secondary from a rather lackluster unit into one that helped them record the NFL's best record," Goldberg writes in an e-mail. "Not only the [7] interceptions but also the coverage. He certainly outplayed [Darrelle] Revis, who made All-Pro on reputation. Revis played well late, but held out and, as holdouts usually do, pulled a muscle. McCourty never played like a rookie. In the games I saw, both in person and on TV, he was rarely hesitant and almost always aggressive, which is uncommon for a rookie."
Goldberg notes that he voted Suh for All-Pro at defensive tackle, along with Vince Wilfork.
"I thought Wilfork, McCourty and [Jerod] Mayo were the reasons the Pats defense was better this year," he writes. "But especially McCourty, because the other cornerbacks were shaky so often and rotated in and out, starting with [Darius] Butler's benching."

i really have to improve my characters so next there will be some portraits and characters... gladly if you improve in one thing the others get better too!
To anyone who reads this:
do you like to design fantasy characters, or do you simply like to draw digitally?
i need somebody that is willing to design the artwork for the cards and the other elements for the game that i'm making. i can't pay you for it, because i'm only 14 years old, but if i ever get to publish the game, i will contact you to make arrangements. if you are interested in working with me, leave a comment on elphirstudios.wordpress.com or contact me at email@example.com.
also, if you know somebody that would maybe be interested, send them there!
thanks in advance to everyone who wants to help.
the game that i'm making takes place in middle earth, so the style would be similar to Alan Lee's and Jhon Howe's, although the characters are not those appearing in the books or films. a couple of examples of the style that i like:
Das ist echt cool geworden. Kleidung, Haare, finde ich wirklich hübsch, die Oberlippe finde ich etwas zu groß, aber das Gesamtkonzept...
Respekt, wirklich.

ShopLocal Reports Record 28 Percent Increase in Thanksgiving Day Deals With Earlier Start to Black Friday Shopping
CHICAGO, Nov. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- ShopLocal(TM), a wholly owned subsidiary of Gannett Co., Inc. (NYSE: GCI), is reporting a record breaking rise in deals available on Thanksgiving Day as retailers and shoppers look to get an earlier start on Black Friday shopping. Leading retailers increased their Thanksgiving Day offers by 28 percent over last year, to give shoppers a head start on their holiday shopping, and promoted them heavily well in advance of Black Friday. Consumers responded in large numbers, with a 15 percent increase in page views over last year, as they planned their shopping through the month of November.
"The holiday shopping season continues to be promotion intensive, as retailers compete for the attention of shoppers," said Vikram Sharma, CEO of ShopLocal. "Savvy retailers advertised even earlier this year, with Black Friday ads posting on average six days earlier than last year. Black Friday shopping, which has gradually been moving up by the hour, is now following dessert as a post-dinner activity on Thanksgiving Day. Shoppers won't be disappointed as they are going to find a lot of great deals to choose from, both online, and as they visit their local stores." While some still view Black Friday as the start of the holiday shopping season, the majority of retailers and consumers now begin advertising in October, and Black Friday ads are out much earlier in November. In a highly competitive environment, retailers want to promote awareness of their offers, and become part of consumer consideration as early as possible. The promotions continue to emphasize in-store offers, but online shopping continues to grow, and according to comScore, online spending on Thanksgiving Day has grown by 128 percent in the last 5 years. With so many choices, consumers are very active in planning their shopping, and the growth of SmartPhones and Tablets is enabling them to do so anywhere and anytime. ShopLocal data shows growth of 172 percent for the iPad and 67 percent for mobile overall for the month of November.

Banjo player Gadd picks her spots
"Three of us came from bluegrass, one was country and the other was a jazz drummer," recalled Gadd. "We were way ahead of our time, but we also were very successful. I suppose some of the purists didn't care for what we were doing because they liked their country and bluegrass straight up, but the public did."
Wild Rose recorded four CD, made four video tapes and netted a Grammy Award nomination.
"The time I was with Wild Rose was probably the highlight of my life and I hated to see us break up, but there had been personnel changes and I guess all of us were ready to move on."
Gadd said that genre-defying Emmylou Harris has been her inspiration and role model since she first heard the singer.
"When I heard Emmylou blending all those kinds of music together —— bluegrass, country and the like —— I knew that's what I wanted to do."
And that's the path Gadd, who herself once was labeled "an amusing blend of old-timey bluegrass and '90s girl sass," took after Wild Rose disbanded. She became a soloist who could do it all.
Oh, she worked with Patty Loveless for a while, even rejoined Coon Creek for a short time, and led her own band before giving that up when the responsibility became too great.
"Singing is what I like to do best, but I like to pick my spots. And now having a full-time job with five-hour days lets me do that," Gadd said. "I've been singing Friday and Saturday nights with Porter Wagner (a country-western band leader and singer who has recorded with Dolly Parton) at the Grand Old Opry for the last 11 months," said Gadd, whose new recording with Wagner, "Something to Brag About," is on the racks.
The album has one ironic feature that's too good to pass and which even Gadd may not be aware of. One of the songs is titled "Don't Cross Over," something Gadd did 25 years ago when she began mixing bluegrass and country.

IRVING, Texas – Junior Toni Paisley recorded two more shutouts last weekend in leading East Carolina to a three-game series sweep of Southern Miss. Monday, Paisley was named the Conference USA Pitcher-of-the-Week according to an announcement by league officials. The weekly honor is the 14th of Paisley's career and sixth this season. A year ago, she tied Southern Miss' Courtney Blades (2000) for single-season C-USA Pitcher-of-the-Week awards with seven and is now one short of matching that total in 2010.
Last week, Paisley allowed just four hits and four walks in 14 innings. She also struck out 19.
In Saturday's opener against Southern Miss, the Lakewood, Calif., native limited the Golden Eagles to a Jill Mathis single and struck out 13 in the 33rd game of her career recording at least 10 whiffs. The victory was also the 78th of Paisley's career, moving her into sole possession of fourth on the all-time Conference USA list. Sunday, she recorded win No. 24 of the season as she scattered three hits and walked one while striking out six, bringing her 2010 total to 290, the third most in a year in East Carolina history.
Southern Miss hit just .087 off Paisley over the weekend. She has blanked opponents in eight of her past nine starts and has a 0.60 earned run average in C-USA contests. She entered the weekend ranked third nationally in shutouts as she has not allowed a run in her past 10 league victories.
The Pirates (34-16) play the final games at the ECU Softball Field Thursday with a 5:00 p.m. doubleheader against in-state foe Elon (33-17). East Carolina will open its new stadium next season.

Well, American voters have made their 2012 presidential choice, and now they get to live with it.
On Nov. 6, the same day that saw the election of Abraham Lincoln and reelection of Ronald Reagan, they opted to reelect Barack Obama, the first time since the Founding Fathers that the country has awarded two terms to three consecutive presidents.
Two-thirds of Americans have consistently said the country is on the wrong track. So, naturally they opted to stick with a stinking status quo they've whined about for years now.
Unable to face the fact they made a colossal mistake in 2008, sufficient Americans voted to keep a president who broke more promises than he kept, who set historic new debt limits, created four consecutive trillion-dollar budget deficits, failed to achieve his own employment goals and accepted responsibility for nothing, except what SEAL Team 6 did for us.
"The best is yet to come," the chronic deficit spender vowed ominously.
Congress has enjoyed record low job approval ratings in recent years, So, unhappy American voters naturally chose to leave both chambers in the same inept hands: Democrats keep control of a Senate that's proudly broken its own laws three straight years by failing to pass a federal budget and cripples itself with archaic rules that make nursing home TV rooms look like Zumba workouts.
And Americans voted to leave in Republican hands the House of Representatives that has such a radically responsible view of fiscal and jobs policies that the Senate won't even take up the bills sent over.
All of this has worked so amazingly well the last four years that Americans obviously want more. And when it doesn't work again, you can bet like Obama they won't be pointing fingers at themselves.
To cap the evening's entertainment, Americans got for their electoral edification the traditional pair of speeches that reveal much of what could have been and what will be.
Exactly 10 years and one day after victoriously claiming the Massachusetts governor's office, for which he took no salary, Romney in 703 words graciously admitted his loss. He said the word "America" five times, the word "pray" three times and the words "Thank you" 21 times.
The Real Good Talker, who's never seen anything he couldn't throw a speech at, took 2,163 words to claim victory in what is traditionally a moment to call for unity and healing after a divisive campaign.
The victorious Chicagoan, who promised before the last election to end Washington's partisan bitterness, strangely uttered the word "fight" five times and "thank you" but seven times. He spoke the word "unify" zero times, "unity" zero times, "heal" zero times and "pray" zero times.
He did, however, manage to mention himself 27 times.
Here are some of the other things the 2012 election revealed:
The nation's anemic economic recovery will go on life support because employers refuse to hire new workers as the new taxes of Obama and ObamaCare kick in. And then comes inflation.
Americans didn't quite elect the country's first Mormon president, but many millions were clearly comfortable voting for one. Check off that hurdle.
The federal government's assault on religious freedoms will continue by regulation and executive order.
Israel now clearly knows it's on its own as far as stopping Iran's nuclear weapons program is concerned.
Voters ensured that we'd find out what was that mysterious missile defense flexibility that Obama was caught promising Russia's leaders he would grant them during a second term as he hollows out America's military.
With Obama's extended family still ensconced in the White House, House Oversight Chairman Darrell Issa is certain to pursue the investigation of the scandalous four American deaths in Benghazi that Obama called "not optimal."
Voters witnessed the end of Chris Christie's budding hopes for a national Republican career. His ill-timed, over-the-top effusive praise for a visiting POTUS after Hurricane Sandy was an obvious bid to buy Obama's silence next year when the New Jersey governor faces a real reelection challenge, likely from Newark Mayor Cory Booker.
But beyond the Garden state, conservatives rightly view Christie's comments and presidential hand-holding and hugging as near-traitorous for needlessly elevating Obama's photo op to help stall Romney's momentum just days out. And assist the complicit media in ignoring FEMA's botched local assistance that ran out of water, of all things. "Great job, Craigie."
Christie may still try something in 2016. Oh, look! With Romney's defeat, the road is conveniently clear for him — and others from the GOP's incredibly deep bench. But Christie will have as much success with that effort as he has with Jenny Craig.
American voters guaranteed they will discover that Obama's promise to increase taxes only on the very rich won't produce anywhere near a significant sum to cut the debt or deficit. With 47% of Americans already paying no federal taxes and no need to ever face voters again, Obama can only turn to the remaining 51% for their fair share of money to redistribute as he sees fit.
In his victory monologue, Obama praised Joe Biden as "the best vice president anybody could ever hope for." Seriously. That's a quote, not a joke.
Ominously, earlier in the day at the polls, someone asked Biden if this was the last time he'd be voting for himself. And the 70-year-old said he didn't think so.
Thanks again, American voters. Smartly done.
Karl Rove's final Electoral Map predictions
Here's why Obama's closing argument seemed so familiar
Obama vows to help Sandy victims, unlike 4 Americans he left in Benghazi

Okay, I've become my mom. I absolutely hated these pancakes growing up. HATED. And I swore I would never, ever, ever make my kids eat them. But now I do. I tell myself it's okay because I made one tiny change to the recipe, so really they aren't the same. Right?
The recipe is Bosch's Blender Pancakes. And the blender was the part I've always hated. Apparently you're supposed to add wheat kernels and the rest of your ingredients in the blender, turn it on, and voila! the wheat will turn to flour and you have whole wheat pancakes just like that. Except, it never turns to flour. So what you get are crunchy pieces of wheat in your pancakes. And that's gross. I do hear that the newer blenders (like Blendtec and Vitamix) do a better job with the wheat, but I'm not going to find out. Instead I substitute already ground whole wheat for the wheat berries and get smooth, whole wheat pancakes. Aren't I the better mom?
If you don't have a wheat grinder, but you do have a fancy blender, feel free to give the blender method a try and let me know how it turns out for you.
While I was growing up, my parents went away and stayed at a bed and breakfast somewhere, and they fed them pancakes with sour cream and bananas on top. To this day it is the only way my dad eats his pancakes. It sounds strange, but it is good.
Cook the pancakes to perfection.
Spread sour cream, or plain Greek yogurt, or just plain yogurt, or heck you can use vanilla yogurt if it's what you've got. I won't judge.
Then cut up a banana on top.
Top it all with maple syrup and a dusting of cinnamon and enjoy! If I was a foodie I would tell you that we use real maple syrup. But I'm not and we buy Mrs. Butterworth's by the gallon. So use whatever syrup your taste buds prefer, or your little people insist on.

Brandhouse Drive Dry: A Life Wrecked
Brandhouse liquor company's Drive Dry initiative wanted those attending the Whisky Live Festival to be discouraged from driving home under the influence. The personal belongings of Heather Cosser - a woman killed by a drunk driver - were collected from her family. Her belongings were crushed with an entire car in a heavy-duty compressor. An installation was created to dramatise that drinking and driving wrecks more than just your car.

That has to be the most compelling reason to not drink-and-drive I have ever seen. Well done.
Very powerful. This is undeniable for drunk drivers. Great job.
There's nothing more shocking than reality itself. Have seen crashed cars, blooded clothes, testimonials, etc.... this is like in the same path but with a new envelope, nice!
More in the line of shocking installations, seems it's the only way it works to prevent people on drinking & driving, cool

Hartford — State Rep. Diana Urban, D-North Stonington, is pushing forward a bill to provide advocates for the animals involved in animal abuse cases in court.
She believes that advocates in court will increase convictions for animal abuse. "Is this about animal cruelty? Of course it is, but what it is really about is red flags," Urban said Thursday at a press conference.
The Judiciary Committee voted in favor of the bill by a 38-6 vote Tuesday, which will be sent next to the Environment Committee. If that committee passes the bill, it would head to the floor of the House and then the Senate.
If it were to become law, House Bill 6690 would allow the court or counsel to request an advocate be assigned to represent the interests of the animal. The commissioner of the Department of Agriculture would maintain a list of people with expertise in animal welfare or legal advocacy to serve on a voluntary basis, according to the bill.
Those who oppose the bill say it puts animals ahead of people, Urban said. Rather, she said, "the idea is that the animal is the indicator that this person is gonna go on and do it to a person."
Urban cited as examples the Columbine High School killers, Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris, who had histories of animal abuse, according to multiple animal rights organizations and news reports.
"Had we stepped in when these young men did what they did, we might have been able to save lives," Urban said. "We are looking for an early sign of mental illness, that is what our whole perspective has been on Sandy Hook. It's right here in front of our face."
The bill has 19 co-sponsors from both parties.
At the press conference Thursday, state Rep. Brenda Kupchick, R-Fairfield, said most people assume when they read about animal abuse that the person committing the abuse will face serious jail time, but research shows that often the person does not.
In the last 10 years in Connecticut, 3,699 charges were brought under the statute concerning specific animal cruelty acts, according to the state's Office of Legislative Research. Of those, 594 resulted in a conviction. About half the cases were not prosecuted.
The statute on animal abuse states that any person who maliciously and purposefully maims, mutilates, tortures, wounds or kills an animal will be fined up to $5,000 or imprisoned for up to five years or both.
At the press conference, legislators referred to a Branford animal abuse case in which the accused, Alex Wullaert, was given supervised diversionary program for people with psychiatric disabilities instead of prison time.
When in the supervised diversionary program, the Court Support Services Division with the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services places the person in a program that provides community supervision, treatment and services. The person is also subject to supervision by a probation officer.
If the person successfully completes the program, the charges are dismissed.
Erasing a charge is part of the problem, Urban said.
"I am doing everything I can think of to draw attention to the fact that this is a red flag, and if I was a parent and something happened to my child from someone given AR (accelerated rehabilitation or supervised diversionary program) or discharge because we didn't think it was important, I don't know what I would say," Urban said.
Rep. Jack Hennessy, D-Bridgeport, said of Urban's efforts: "At a time when the nation is scrutinizing laws to find ways to increase public safety, Rep. Urban's bill serves as an indispensable puzzle piece in the overall picture of addressing and preventing animal cruelty."

Some associated conditions may be diagnosed during pregnancy or immediately after birth, but in some cases the learning disability will not present itself for weeks, months or even years.
The early signs of a learning disability can be difficult to spot, but there are some indications to look out for.
- Babies may have trouble nursing, for example sucking and digesting.
- In the early stages children may show delays with sitting or standing.
- Pre-school children may be slow to talk or have difficulty in pronouncing words and short sentences, or learning new words.
- School-aged children may find reading and writing difficult or have problems understanding information and instructions.
- Some children discover they have a learning disability when they become teenagers and their life becomes more complex, with new emotions and responsibilities.
After receiving a diagnosis, some parents find support and information from professionals is essential, and finding out as much as you can about your child's condition can help you to cope and plan for the future. However, other parents find their emotions are enough to deal with at this time, and prefer to get to know their child as an individual before finding out more about their learning disability.
I knew straight away my daughter had Down's syndrome, having had three daughters before. I just wanted to go straight home where I could feel secure.
Reports have indicated that parents sometimes feel isolated after a diagnosis, as professionals can be insensitive or fail to give timely or accurate information about their child's diagnosis. Professionals can be confused by some characteristics of learning disability, and experts themselves can struggle to make an accurate diagnosis.
In many cases, there are no obvious physical signs that someone has a learning disability, which can also make it harder to diagnose. It is often parents or teachers who first become aware that a child is having difficulties in certain areas of their life, long before any assessments are carried out.
If your child has not received a diagnosis but you have concerns about their development, you should contact your GP who should be able to offer advice and refer you to a specialist if necessary.

I want you to know that you can make it work. I have the theory that the past is the past. DH and I have not always seen eye to eye (no violence or abuse) but just relationship problems. Of course you never forget what happens but if you are able to both grow and move past it you will truely find out what meant to be. THe choice to stay or leave a relationship is never easy as it can hurt either way.
I wish you the best and hope you take things slow and really concentrate on taking care of yourself first because that is what matters most right now for all of you (DH, you, and LO).
Of course, you're in apology/excuses and honeymoon phase.
Please, be serious about reading and acknowledging the cycle of abuse. http://www.helpguide.org/mental/domestic_violence_abuse_types_signs_causes_effects.htm

DH & I have had a rough road, but we're still together. Only you can know what it means to be in your relationship, and what you are willing to forgive and move past. As the pp said, please be very aware of the cycle of abuse and of your obligation to yourself and your baby.
Good luck to you both :-)

It might be as ceruleanspiral says or it might be that he is really making a change. If he really did all that counselling then i'd feel that he really is making an effort to change. Just bear in mind that it takes a lot of work to go from being an abuser and some men never accomplish it. I've never read your stories so I don't know if it was a one time thing or a series of recurring events. The less the amount of times it happened the more likely he is to maybe have just been reacting very poorly to stress. Another thing pointed put to me is the maturity level of the man. i've been told that the more immature the man the more likely he is to lash out physically, so if you two are really young that might be at play as well. If you want to get back together i'd suggest that you both seek help to make sure that you are both making informed decisions and have support as you try to piece things back together.
I think it doesn't matter what people's opinions are, whether we tell you this is good, go ahead, or no, don't go back down that road... You're still going to do whatever you want/feel.
So, the only advice I can give you is, remember that both you AND your baby will have to deal with the consequences of all the decisions you make from now on, not only related to this, but everything else.
I didn't go through quite exactly what you did, I suffered emotional abuse. I'm guess I'm one of those "close-minded" people that don't believe people can change... But that's just what my years/experiences have taught me. A person just cannot change, IMO. They can learn to CONTROL their feelings, impulses and behaviour, but their essence does not change. And the control only goes on for a limited time... It can be weeks, years, or decades... But they'll still go back to being who they are.
I hope I'm wrong, I'm still waiting to be proved wrong. I wish you all the luck. I don't know you, you're a beautiful girl, and it just seems to me that you can do better.
Again, good luck to you and have a happy and healthy pregnancy.

Minecraft has already has a successful run with three LEGO Cuusoo Minecraft micro world building sets - The Forest, The Village and The Nether. Since the two popular properties are a natural fit together and the micro world sets have sold well, LEGO is now developing a line of minifig scale building sets.
In the announcement video released today, LEGO representatives showed off various playsets currently under construction such as trees, Creepers, villages, cows, tree houses and, yes, Steve.
LEGO is asking for help with the creation of the Minecraft sets by going to the official LEGO Minecraft Facebook page and posting feedback as part of the LEGO Minecraft Cobuild initiative.

Where to place CS6 & LR4?

Where to place CS6 & LR4?
Got a new box built -- two 120G SSDs + 2TB HD, 16G RAM Win 7 on 1st SSD.
The box is practically entirely dedicated for photo processing. Any reasons to install CS6 & LR4 on the 2nd SSD which I initially wanted to make scratch disk only.
Many thanks for recommendations / feedback.
Who can say why today tomorrow will be yesterday?
P.S After long considerations decided not to build the box myself but ordered my design to be build by Puget Systems. Actually, this saved me some $$, considering the personal time to be spent on ordering, assembly, testing.
This question has not been answered yet.

Recently my beloved editor L.J. Sellers told me she could no longer take in freelance work. As her own novels have exploded in popularity, it has grown more and more difficult (and less profitable) for her to take time out of her schedule to edit for someone else. I completely understand. I too don't take on editing anymore, except for existing clients.
I lucked out when I found L.J. She's a real pro and I chose her based on reputation and her professionalism, but without doing any vetting. She's an amazing editor and I was so lucky to have found her.
But the truth of the matter is, anyone can call themselves an editor. Sadly, many who do aren't qualified. Now that I've been in and around publishing a little longer, I've started hearing horror stories of people shelling out hundreds of dollars to an "editor," only to find the person acted as little more than a paid beta-reader.
Because I didn't want to regret my decision, I made a plan.
Step 1. Made a list of every editor I could find.
I have a lot of people in my various networks, including some bestselling indie authors. I wrote to them and asked if they had an editor they could recommend. I also went to online groups and searched for authors who have raved about their editors. And then I went through my own friends list on Facebook, looking at anyone who listed freelance editor on their profile as their "workplace."
I did NOT place an open call saying, "Hey, I need an editor. Who wants a few hundred bucks to go over my manuscript?" I wanted a list of professionals, not people who were doing it on a lark or who thought "hey, I can do that" on the spur of the moment because they saw my post, or writers who weren't qualified, but needed the cash.
So over the next week as authors started writing back to me with their recommendations and I kept at my search, I realised I had quite a long list. This drove home to me that folks who say, "but I don't know any editors," as an excuse not to hire one aren't really trying.
Step 2: Narrowed this down to twelve impressive professionals
I narrowed this list down to twelve, based on recommendations and their online presence. If their "professional" website looked like it harkened back to 1995, I crossed them off the list. Why? Surely editors aren't expected to be web designers too! Well, again it comes down to professionalism.
So then I wrote twelve letters. They went something like this, but each one was different, based on how I'd found them:
We're friends on Facebook (in case you don't recognise my name.) I'm a self-publishing fantasy author. Sadly, I've just found out my editor is no longer taking in freelance work, so I'm in the position of forging a new relationship with an editor. (I wanted to point out the importance of the relationship. This isn't a one-night stand for me. I want someone I can work with for years to come.)I know you do some freelance editing, so I'm wondering if you:1. Have experience with fantasy / spec fiction? (As much as I loved L.J., fantasy wasn't really her thing, so this time I wanted someone who felt comfortable with the conventions of fantasy writing.)2. Are available some time in May for a freelance job? I have a finished draft and will be working on it with betas over the next month or so. (No point in finding someone only to discover they aren't available!)3. Have references from editing clients I could contact? (I'll get to this in more detail below.)It would be a bonus if you are comfortable with British English. It's not mandatory that you have perfect "Queen's English" skills, because most of my beta readers are British and my last editor was an American, and that worked out fine. That being said, my books are written with British spellings/expressions. (Be sure to point out any special requirements like this or concerns you have. You don't want to go through all this only to find out the editor isn't comfortable with some tangential element of your project.)And also what are your rates for copyediting? What I need is someone to help me achieve the final polish before self-publishing, to hunt out typos and errors, of course, but also let me know if I've done things like repeated words or if a passage is clunky or confusing. (I included this because different editors use different terminology. What one calls copyediting, another may call proofreading. What one calls line-editing may be another editor's copyediting. I'd recommend being clear what level you're looking for to help combat miscommunication.)If you don't think you are the right person for my work for whatever reason, can you recommend anyone you think will be a good fit? (Always a bonus to ask… many editors know other editors and if the rest of your list falls apart, this could be a good way to find additional candidates.)
Step 3: Based on the replies, I narrowed it down to three top candidates.
Actually, this isn't as difficult as you might think. A couple of people wrote back saying they weren't taking on any new clients. Some wrote back with astronomical quotes. (I was prepared to stretch my budget for someone whose skills blew me away, but some of the quotes were just way beyond what I felt comfortable with.)
Here are some of the reasons an editor might have gotten crossed off the list at this stage:
- Charging more than I felt I could afford.
- Not feeling comfortable with the fantasy genre.
- Snarky comments about, well, anything. This isn't the stage in a relationship for sarcasm.
- Replies with obvious grammatical errors.
- Refusing to engage in conversation, instead referring me to a website for answers
- Refusing to provide references
- Not wanting to deal with someone outside the US.
- Not accepting paypal.
In many ways, I was surprised how quickly the editors crossed themselves off the list.
But, I narrowed it down to three qualified, professional editors and was ready to procede.
Step 4: I checked references
Now, the next two steps were simultaneous. Each of the top three candidates provided references and offered a sample edit. While I was preparing my first chapter for them to take a crack at, I checked their references.
But, I didn't just write to the people they provided. I googled the editors names along with the phrase "editor" and "my editor" and "freelance editor" and "indie editor". I tried all kinds of additional phrases like "unprofessional" or other complaints I thought an author might make about an editor. I found names of people who had used them. Because honestly, they're mostly going to give me names of people who have great things to say about them. Right?
Well, you'd be surprised.
Here's the letter I sent to the references (phrased differently according to how I'd found them, of course):
X gave me your name as someone I could contact as a reference about her editing services.
I have a few questions, if you don't mind.
- What did you like most and least about working with her? (Gives them an opening to give something other than glowing praise)
- Does she communicate clearly about issues in your manuscript? (Very important!)
- How does she handle follow-up questions?
- Do you generally use all her recommendations, or do you take some and leave some?
- Would you say her main strength is flow, structure, pacing, grammar/technical, spotting errors…or something else? (This allowed me to find out if the type of editing I needed was the same type this person had received.)
- Is it easy to book a project with her, or do you find you're having to be squeezed in around a busy schedule?
- What do you receive on a full-length manuscript? A report? A document with tracked changes, etc? If a report, how long/detailed is it?
- Do you recommend her and plan to use her again?
Thanks very much for your time.
I have to confess, the replies surprised me. Even the people whose names had been given to me by each editor didn't contain 100% glowing praise. Although I didn't cross anyone off the list based solely on these replies, they did rearrange the top candidate's standing in my mind. If someone were to go to the trouble to tell me in a letter of recommendation that their editor was incredibly qualified (and otherwise wonderful) but could be difficult to deal with, I would listen, believe you me.
Step 5: I asked them for a sample edit.
While I was waiting for replies to letters of recommendation, I polished up my first chapter and sent it to each of the editors for sample work.
Honestly, I expected them all to come back with virtually the same results. After all, a mistake is a mistake, isn't it?
Well, no, it isn't. Editing is incredibly subjective.
I was truly surprised at the difference in the marked-up manuscripts I got back, but so glad I went to the trouble of doing this. As I said, all of the editors were qualified, but comparing these was very useful in making my final decision.
In the end, I not only chose a new editor
(I'll give you her name as soon as we hammer out our agreement–gotta make sure the feeling is mutual first!), (See the end of the post!) but I also have some fall-back editors, people I would feel confident writing to again if I'm ever in this position again.
Along the way, I was 100% clear with all my candidates where I was in the vetting process even up until the stage where I was getting samples, because I wanted people to know that I had other candidates. This was NOT to engender competition, but because I wanted to be up front about it. If someone didn't want to be considered in a situation like this, I don't mind. But you know what, NONE Of them minded when I let them know I was getting samples from others. In fact, most seemed to appreciate that I wanted to make sure I had a good fit.
So, if you're in the position of hiring an editor, take your time. Be thorough. Listen to your gut. The best part of it is that I never felt like I was picking someone out of desperation. I felt like I had a lot of qualified candidates and could choose one out of a truly great field.
I spoke to my new editor, and I feel 100% confident that we're on the right path. So I can blissfully announce that Susan Helene Gottfried will be working on Enemy of the Fae, and I hope she will continue with me for many many more books to come. Her rates are incredibly reasonable, her sample edit was amazing (I've already incorporated 97% of what she suggested into Chapter 1), and I've found her professional on every level–and yet friendly and easy-going at the same time. If you're looking for an editor, check out her page and read this list to see if she works in your genre.
As much as I've already come to respect and appreciate Susan, I'd still recommend you contact several editors and get sample edits. Susan is a perfect fit for my work, but you need to find the right editor for you. But yes, absolutely, drop her a line and discuss your current projects. I'm certainly glad I did!

India, thank you! That was a most interesting, informative and above all, timely post! I'm thinking seriously about editors at the moment and although I wouldn't have jumped into the decision making process, I think I might have been a little subservient before reading this, a case of, 'oh gosh, will they want to do a job for little me?' This is a timely reminder that it's my money I'm spending and going with the wrong editor could prove costly in many more ways than just financially.
Thanks again and don't worry, I'm sure your almost-signed new editor feels the same way about you!
I'm the sort of editor who would prefer to work with "little me" than with a big name or a big publisher. If you decide you're ready, I'd be glad to do a sample for you, and provide any other information you'd like (following India's lead would be most welcome in my world, for instance).
Glad to know you found an editor, India. Good luck with your book and future endeavors.
Wow, this is well thought out, and extremely helpful. I love how detail oriented you were with your search. So often authors "settle" for the first editor that quotes a price they can afford. Of course, this also happens with agents and publishers too. But I never would have thought to ask a lot of the questions you mentioned in your "query", or to contact references. This posts is a refresher that being a writer is also a self employment venture, and the contacts should be as professional and well researched as any employment interview.
This level of attention to detail shows in your writing India. I enjoyed Blood Faerie mostly for the story itself, but I appreciated that I didn't have to slog through a lot of technical/formatting errors for a smoothe read. In fact, I didn't even know Blood Faerie was self-published. Obviously you had an excellent editor (not that I think it needed it) and reliable feedback support systems. Very important to any author, but essential to an indie-pubbed. It is no wonder that I was able to focus all my attention on the story when I read the novel.
I know there are a couple sequels to Blood Faerie, and I'm looking forward to reading them. I haven't enjoyed new fantasy fiction in a long time, and your novel engaged me throughout the reading.
I've been meaning to ask you for an author interview/guest post regarding your writing journey for Blood Faerie. I am expecting to post a review of the novel over the next few weeks – I'm actually late on my review as I finished the novel about a month ago – but I'd really like for you to do a guest post along with the review.
You can check out my blog archives to see how I conduct guest posts/reviews, and if you are interested, please contact me at donnahole (at) gmail (dot) com.
And BTW; good luck with the new editor prospect. I can't imagine all this hard work and extensive research not getting you the best person for the job.
This was really interesting (and informative) to read. You are impressively thorough!
If you treat it like you're hiring someone, you'll be much more satisfied. The steps you outlined are the interview-hire process. That's a fine way to think about engaging with an editor.
It also shows how much importance you put on the editorial process. It is ~not~ something to be taken lightly, especially for a self-publisher, or an indie.
Good editors are very, very hard to find. You are right about that!
But they're also worth finding.
– Eric
What a great process, india. Thanks for sharing!
WOW, India. Thanks! And I'd like to second what you said: finding an editor isn't like walking into the grocery and buying food. It's more like shopping for apples: you need to find the kind you like, and you need it to fit your purposes (are you making baked apples? Applesauce? Eating them smeared with peanut butter and Nutella?).
However, anyone in need of an editor should feel free to contact me. I only came out of retirement less than a year ago and have room on my list still.
Thank you. I'll be looking for an editor of my Indie suspense/mystery novel and will take the advice you offered in this post to heart. Thank you for sharing this. I found it very informative and well written. Good luck with the new editor, and book.
Dana Griffin
Thank you India, loved reading about your process. I have found it hard to get recommendations out of people, perhaps I'm asking the wrong writers.
Just wanted to add my praise for this post – I'm about to start looking for an editor for my book and plan to use this post as a guide on how to go about it. Thanks for helping make my hunt that little bit easier!
Excellent, very informative post, has answered many of my own questions. I would never have thought of asking for references in such a rigorous way, but you are right, it's much more scientific than just word-of-mouth casual recommendations.
I'm a freelance editor, and found this blog post to be fascinating. I really appreciate your methodical search for the right fit. All those little things matter — conversational chemistry, comfort level with a genre, willingness to provide timely aftercare, etc.
We probably wouldn't have been a good fit because I am not a fan of sci-fi/fantasy and as such don't understand the genre as well as Susan and many others, but it was heartening to look at the rest of your criteria and know that I would have measured up otherwise. This was a great "market value" reality check for me as I continue in the "ramp-up" phase of my business.
To wit:
1. No, I don't have much experience with fantasy/spec fiction. (While I believe "good storytelling is good storytelling," I know that each genre contains specific market-friendly requirements. I better understand these in the romance and mystery genres.)
2. I wound up being pretty tightly scheduled in May, but I always make time for promising new clients.
3. Yes, I have dozens of references I could provide, and I'm pretty confident I'd get glowing testimonials.
4. I have, I would say, a moderate level of comfort with British English. I read some books from the UK, but I'd have a hard time saying I'm completely conversant in British idioms and slang.
5. Not sure if I cost more than you can afford. I recently raised my rates from $35 US to $40 per hour, in keeping with the low end of the market-rate structure per a recent survey by the Editorial Freelancers Association. My general invoice range for a novel of 60,000 to 110,000 words ranges from $500 to $850 US. I base my estimate on a sample edit, and how much time that takes, pro-rated into the overall word count.
6. I do know other editors I could recommend.
7. Happy to provide a sample edit, at no charge.
Also, I do accept PayPal, and work in Track Changes mode.
Thanks, India, for this opportunity to reflect on how I measure up in the open market.
It is funny how sometimes you find the right article at the right time. I'm at a stage where I'll soon be in need of an editor, but I wasn't sure how to approach the process. I've already started a rudimentary search. It's a big step to find someone who is professional enough to remain objective without sacrificing quality advice. I tend to think that it also makes sense to have a relationship with an editor that will last longer than one project. Given the nature of writing, it makes sense to. From my side, I will need to determine what kind of editing I require and whether one 'experienced' editor is all I need.
This post of yours gave me some context. Thanks.
Thanks for posting such a detailed breakdown of the way in which you searched for the right editor. As a freelance editor myself, I found this post very interesting.
However, I'm curious about your criteria for 'professional'. If it were me looking for a professional editor, I'd have gone first to professional organisations like the Editorial Freelancers Association (in the US) or the Society for Editors and Proofreaders (in the UK) who have directories of qualified, trained editors who specialise in fiction editing. Once I'd created a long-list from these sorts of sources, then I'd have gone looking for recommendations and what not.
I have to admit that I'm a little crestfallen that time/effort/money spent doing professional development courses, getting training and being an active member of a professional organisation seems to count for so little.
Great advice, just tweeted about it! It's so important to get one's work properly edited and too many self-published authors rush to publication without going through the editing process and it's a real shame. It hurts them of course (who wants to buy another book from someone who's accumulated typos and inconsistencies?) and it also hurts the reputation of Indie authors.
Thanks for sharing the way you went about trying to find the best possible editor. Very useful tips!
Thanks for the mention, India. I don't think anyone has ever called me beloved before! I haven't met Susan in person, but I've networked with her online and she seems professional, energetic, and upbeat. Best wishes! And for anyone reading this, India's novels are terrific.
India, I love this post. I found it because of The Passive Guy, but I'm glad I clicked over for the entire post. I've been telling indie writers and traditional writers who are afraid of indie that they can hire editors. And you've spelled it out beautifully. Thank you. I will be linking to this.
I enjoyed your article and learned from it. I've edited several books with few, if any, complaints.
I've never tested to see how many pages I read in an hour, so I don't know how my fee fits in the price range.
I charge 50 cents a page, which seems more than fair to the writer.
I do this because I love to read and I have the ability to do it right.
True, Laura! It is just in English at the moment, I thugoht you were talking about Global Voices in English.I'd back a group of volunteers dedicated only to proofreading. Unfortunately, I don't think we would be able to pay for it. However, since the new applications procedures for volunteers, we have been able to recruit highly experienced translators and editors, the experience they bring in is remarkable.I agree that there is no need to worry about proofreading the proofreader, Juan. This would be like re-baking a cake that is already good. Once you start working with someone, of course you may want to check the first couple of posts, but with some time, you will develop trust and will not have to have a second look every time. Unless, of course, you consider yourself to be the only perfectionist Spanish translator in the world!In any case, I think this idea is something we can implement *now*, we don't need a grant, nor I would consider it innovation'. It is what we should have, anyway! Perhaps for those applying to help with proofreading and editing, it would be good to ask them to have a look at our posts and spot mistakes? I'm sure there will be a few!Bernardo, I beg to differ from your point of view. As a professional translator who does a lot of volunteering work, I don't think I tone down the quality of my input when I am working for free , if there is any changes, it is rather the opposite direction, because I will be working as a volunteers on texts of my choice and will be enjoying it much more than a paid assignment. In my old job, where I could not bear the boredom over the texts I had to translate, I often found silly mistakes in old translations, I could just not be bothered to be a perfectionist only for money, I had to have better reasons. Then I left my job when I could not bear it anymore I bet many translators take their work just as serious, no matter if it is free' or paid. I think the clue is to put together a team of professional translators – rather than the occasional blogger who wants to help who follow good standards, and there have been many of them recently.HugsPaula
