Long time ago, during the days I own my first computer in 2001, I heard that scratched CD/DVD can harm to the laser head of the DVD drives.
Is it true? Is it even true for today's DVD drives? I've bought my current DVD drive this July. Can I run scratched optical discs multiple times without causing harm to the drive's head?

Last night the celebrities on Dancing With the Stars found out who was going to the finals next week, and to many the results came as a shock.
Early on in the night Jennifer Grey and partner Derek Hough were told that they would be dancing in the finals. Kyle Massey and partner Lacey Schwimmer were the next couple to find out that they were also safe and going to the finals.
After performances from Annie Lennox and Enrique Iglesias, the final two teams, Brandy and Maks Chmerkovskiy and Bristol Palin and Mark Ballas were told their fates. When Tom Bergeron announced that it was Brandy and Chmerkovskiy would not be dancing next week, a quick camera shot of Grey and Hough showed looks of disbelief. Judge Bruno Tonioli echoed their sentiments, telling the singer "I am shocked, because last night you delivered a fantastic performance, amazing. I am so disappointed." Brandy had received a perfect score of 30 the night before for her Argentino tango, and was even asked to perform it again on Tuesday's show.
Many are shocked that Brandy, who was at the top of the leader board throughout the season and considered a potential winner, will not be headed to the final, and Palin, who was at the bottom of the leader board throughout the season, will be.
The show's judging system combines the score of the judges with votes from viewers. Many have criticized the fact that Palin remains on the show while more talented dancers are voted off, and say that it is the Tea Party and her mother's supporters who are keeping her on. Palin and Ballas say that this is not the case, and people vote for her because she is more relatable than the others.

As far as we can tell, winter weather pretty much mandates that we turn into old ladies. We bust out our chunky cable knit sweaters, sip on hot toddies and knit away the hours of the evening. We're adding another fogie tradition to our repertoire by picking up cribbage this winter. Once we've got the hang of it (there's a decent amount of math, so it'll take us a bit), we're going to invest in a beautiful board like this Handmade Wood Cribbage Board Box ($75) from Timber Green Woods.
i <3 Cribbage, my bestie and i play all the time. This is lovely, thanks Outblush.

Main Branch Of Louisville Library Reopens
WLKY – "Library Workers Still Cleaning Up Damage From Flash Flood"
WLKY – "Library Workers Still Cleaning Up Damage From Flash Flood"
Kotaku Australia – "In a public library, a dude sitting at a monitor with his hands in his lap, covered by a newspaper, implicitly means bad things. Fear not, he's only sneaked in an Xbox to steal the free WiFi and play Halo."
NYTimes – "The company also announced a partnership with the New York Public Library to make the library's 29,000 electronic titles available on all Sony Readers, which now include the Reader Pocket Edition and Reader Touch Edition. Borrowers will be able to download a digital library book onto their readers. The electronic titles, which are protected from easy copying, would expire in 21 days from the device or computer. Sony users may also download copies of public domain books scanned from the New York Public Library by Google."
Shaping Libraries – "Here is something that I have been thinking about for a few months now. When a user can't find an item in our catalog they go to ILL. ILL then contacts various libraries to see if they would lend the item in question. What if ILL instead contacted local users who have volunteered their personal library "holdings" as potential lenders?"
TheHill.com – "Several House Republicans have used Twitter to promote their August activities, keeping a national audience informed of their once-obscure local recess events."
LibraryLaw Blog – "I had the good fortune to interview Barbara Bernstein last week (Aug. 5) about her role in the landmark Island Trees Sch. Bd. v Pico case, the school library book removal case that went to the Supreme Court. Barbara was the executive director of the Nassau County Chapter of the NYCLU, and responded to the call for help from the school librarian."
Slaw – "Once you remove content publishing from the equation, there are typically four major entry points into law firm websites: the homepage, practice pages, lawyer profiles and regional office pages. For this month's web law connected column, I thought it might be interesting to offer comments on each of these pages, and issues I've seen from a search marketing perspective."
HeinOnline Weblog – "Thanks to some recent feedback from a researcher using HeinOnline, we have added a new searching feature to the service. This new search tool allows HeinOnline users to easily search for words or phrases in the section, or the page they are currently viewing."

Backbone Rock
During the early 1900s one of the primary industries in the Southern Appalachian Mountains was timber harvesting. The Tennessee Lumber Company moved to the Sutherland area at this time and set up a mill to cut timber. The company hired 400 men to keep the operation running. The Tennessee Lumber Company sawed 100,000 board feet a day. To get the timber to market, railroad lines were constructed throughout the land. Most of the track was laid following the natural terrain.
In 1901 the Empire Mining Company was laying track and they came to a stone ridge that stands seventy-five feet high, and was approximately 20 feet thick. The ridge was named Backbone Rock because of its appearance. This rock was above the Sutherland Community. It was an extension from the Iron Mountain Range. Beaverdam Creek flowed around the end of the rock.
|The company decided to blast a short tunnel through the rock to lay its tracks. The Empire Mining Company built the Beaver Dam Railroad to connect with the Virginia-Carolina line. After the tunnel was blasted and the track was laid the smoke stack of the train's engine could not pass through the tunnel. The top of the tunnel had to be hand chiseled to eliminate this problem.
The lumber was about used up by 1912 and the Tennessee Lumber Company moved its saw mill. After logging stopped the United States Forest Service used the railroad bed as a truck trail. A trail was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s to the top of Backbone Rock above the tunnel. Today Highway 133 goes through the tunnel.
The area around Backbone Rock was developed by the Tennessee Wildlife Agency for camping, picnicking, fishing, and hiking. Beaverdam Creek runs next to Backbone Rock and through the picnic area. You will find 44 picnic tables, two logged sheltered picnic tables, open fireplaces, horseshoe pits, and camping sites. There are several hiking trails. One goes across the top of the rock. Another hiking trail takes you to Backbone Rock Falls. Now the area is part of the Cherokee National Forest and is maintained by the forest services.

The "green" movement turns blood-red in the high-octane action thriller BLUESHIFT, a two-issue, 60-page graphic novel premiering in 5 page installments on Celsias for the next 12 weeks. Marvel and DC Comics artists John VanFleet and Dave DeVries, writer Blake Hutchins, and Seed Studio Inc. take audiences a half-century into a future extrapolated from today's environmental headlines. Their creation is a world sliding into a globally warmed Hell.
But don't expect BlueShift to be a preachy green cautionary tale. Expect blood. Lots of it.
"Today's older teen audiences are keyed into video game thrills," series art director Dave DeVries stated, "They would tune out a preachy story. BlueShift delivers all of the brutal action they expect, along with a story that holds an important message about the environment. It was important to everyone at Seed that this audience understand the consequences of their actions."
To accomplish this, Seed Studio hired renowned environmental concept artist John Van Fleet to painstakingly build backgrounds based upon the extensive research of writers Blake Hutchins and Alex Jimenez. Using global warming reports by both the United Nations and the Department of Defense, the team created their vision of our world after the worst effects of climate change have become a reality..
Responding in kind, the protagonists, dubbed BlueShifters for their cyanotic appearance when powered up, have adapted superhuman abilities to navigate this brutal new world. They fight like Bruce Lee, heal like Wolverine, and predict opponents' moves like Nostradamus.
BlueShift readers should expect blood, entertainment and a new uneasiness about abusing the world we all share. To read the first chapter just click here!
So really, what is BlueShift?
So here we are in the launch week of BlueShift on Celsias, and you probably have questions about where "this"–meaning the setting, characters, story, and style–is all coming from.
What the hell is BlueShift, anyway? Eco-punk? Pre-post-apoc paranormal action? Cyberpunk metaphor writ large in bullet-chewed letters?
The world of BlueShift is a high-octane action-noir premise painted across a big, science-fictional canvass that bellies right up to an almost post-apocalyptic take on the mid-21st century. Because the environmental theme is so central to the entire setting, I like to call it "eco-punk" or "pre-post-apocalyptic," but that's my personal literary compartmentalization. The two main catalysts that create this mold-stained future out of our world's cloth are catastrophic global climate change and the emergence of the Eli. I'll talk about the Eli in another post. Today let's touch on the impact of catastrophic climate change, the big background chunk of canvass. We'll fill in a lot more detail as we continue this blog in the coming weeks and months.
The first thing to note is that we've based all the underlying climate change assumptions on real science, the events and developments and insights unfolding today. What's happened by 2061 is a cascade failure, a series of worst-case scenarios coming together with terrible, synergistic speed: melting glaciers and ice pack, desertification, rising seas, disruption of the Gulf Stream, depletion of large aquifers like the Ogallala, mass extinction of species on land and sea, spread of tropical diseases into the mid-latitudes, genetic engineering run amok, destruction of critical habitats, and so on.
It's a bleak picture.
In real life, we don't know what exactly will happen, or how fast it will happen. Some things are happening now: shrinking glaciers, elevated methane levels in the Arctic, thawing of the permafrost, rising sea levels. Most projections contend that certain aspects like the rising seas, will occur continuously over a couple of hundred years. But by 2061 in our sci-fictional world, it's been a runaway process for over twenty years.
Sea levels have risen nearly thirty feet, flooding low-lying coastal regions and turning places like California's Central Valley into a shallow inland sea. New Orleans is reduced to a few scattered islands, whereas Baton Rouge is a seaport.
Europe freezes as temperatures there plummet with the loss of the Gulf Stream. A huge permanent hurricane system called Leviathan has established itself in the Atlantic off the Gulf of Mexico, giving Mother Earth a Great White Spot to match the red one on her sister planet Jupiter. Much of Florida is underwater. Coastal metropolises like New York have constructed massive sea walls to hold off the higher seas and turn back storm surges and hurricanes thrown north by Leviathan (by the way, did you know New York City is a major risk for massive flood caused by storm surge?). Biloxi Malaria has taken root across the American South as higher temperatures support migration of disease-carrying mosquito populations. The mutated offspring of crazy, out-of-control genetic experiments run rampant in both urban and rural locales. The bees and other common pollinators are gone or mostly gone. Acid rain is the norm. The oceans are dying, very possibly throwing global oxygen production into the red. The Ogallala desert stretches from the Rockies to the Mississippi, a tornado-scorched region now nicknamed "The MidWaste." Fierce hurricanes batter the Gulf Coast and Eastern Seaboard nearly year-round.
And greenhouse gases continue to rise in Earth's atmosphere. It's probable that the worst is yet to come.
Only a very few elements, such as Leviathan, don't come from a foundation of research and extrapolation from current trends and projections. Sometimes you just toss stuff in because it's cool.
Let's quickly glance at the social impact of all this. The world's population has been cut in half. Billions perished between 2020 and the present day. Refugees migrated from coastal regions and climate devastated areas, at least in the early years. Later, when the scale of what historians are calling the Great Collapse became evident in crop failures and vanishing water tables, heavily armed border units and harsh immigration policies cut down sharply on refugee entry into the more industrialized or less impacted countries. Genocide became national policy for many countries.
It's not the kind of world you want your kids to grow up in. No place has gone untouched by the Collapse.
Our first story takes place in New Orleans of 2061, a stubborn urban enclave that reinvented itself into a makeshift fortress perched like a barnacle on the slivered remains of the Vieux Carre, the famous core of the French Quarter. The rebel jewel of the Gulf Coast Federal Emergency Zone, New Orleans itself is now nicknamed "the Big E-Z." It's a data haven, a marine base for FEMA enforcement operations, and an Incorporate research and trade nexus in the Gulf. It's a frontier town populated by tough, independent types able to cling to their traditions and make their lives in the shadow of Leviathan.
At the end of the day, Blueshift is about people, whether Eli or baseline human, and how they make their way in this very different world.
We hope you like it.

It is a paycheck — and it is killing us
After hearing old friends and colleagues whinging about workplace nastiness, which seems to have intensified since the credit crunch, Scot Herrick of Cube Rules asked them how they coped. The answer was that they now just treat their job like a paycheck. (Or as we would say in New Zealand a pay cheque.)
That is they turn up, go through the motions, go home and once a week or once a month the money turns up in their bank account. I'm guessing here that Herrick is writing about knowledge workers and not hamburger flippers sleepwalking through shifts at the local fast food joint. Continue reading

Here's are three recent posts I found worth reading:
Be a good manager by being generous
Penelope Trunk hits the nail on the head when she argues a good manager should be generous at her Brazen Careerist web site. Trunk uses words like growth and caring. As a male they scare me a bit. I prefer to talk in terms of training or teaching, but she's coming at things from the right direction.
The idea of being generous certainly squares with my experience, particularly when I've worked as an editor. Editors who hog the best stories and don't share skills with co-workers often have trouble attracting and keeping the best younger journalists.
On the other hand, if as an editor, I can make my reporters look good, I win because I've got a first class team that's getting results and they win because they're developing their skills. The more you give away, the more you get back.
Trunk's post is also worth reading for its neat description of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs in terms applying directly to the modern workplace.
How to be a good manager: Be generous.
Five ways to increase your free time
Lance Wiggs suggest a recession may be a good time to step back from the daily grind and take a look at how you spend your time. I agree. For example, it's a great time to step back from a job and start a business – even if only part-time. It's always hard to make sales when you're stating out, but costs will be lower, in fact all the resources required are easier to find. And the disciplines learnt starting out in a recession are golden. It's also a good time to go back to study.
Five ways to increase your free time
Handling Employees With Difficult Personalities
Writing from a management point of view Kathleen O'Connor looks at how to handle certain types of troublesome personalities. I'm not entirely sure about her technique for dealing with 'naysayers'; her suggested question sounds a touch manipulative to me. Nevertheless, some good ideas.
Handling Employees With Difficult Personalities
How to keep your job
This short How-to wiki from Wired takes two minutes to read. The advice is basic and sound. It comes in short easy to read snatches with great-looking images. I don't entirely agree with the point about not letting others share your territory. Perhaps office politics are different in the US, but if I had an employee who was unwilling to share information with me I'd see that as a reason to get rid of the uncooperative curmudgeon.
Challenging Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
It's an oversimplification, but Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs says that you can figure out how people will behave at any moment by looking at their underlying needs. Maslow believed a starving person would attend to finding food first, putting aside every other consideration including social niceties. Continue reading

I didn't make my usual end of the year entry because this was the first year in about 12 years I did not lose a pound. On. Jan. 1 I had actually gained all the weight back that I lost during the first half of last year. I just wasn't sure what was going on with me in those last few months of 2013. I followed my low carb-healthy fat-protein day with the high carb and protein days, but as time wore on, I quit tracking my foods and began winging it. Then I accepted a new traveling job in December and gave January notice at my old job so had a lot of loose ends to tie up there so I'm sure some of that stress made it harder for me. However, I was most horrified on feeling like I was going back to old thinking of that all or nothing and felt that dieting type mentality coming back into my life. "Oh, I will start the diet tomorrow" or "I am being bad and eating such and such". As soon as I get into that type of thinking of bad foods versus good, I crave what I consider bad. I disappointed myself but am using it for a learning experience and am ready to get back on track with all these new things I learned about myself.
One thing I was excited about was my increase in my weight-lifting exercises. My husband just commented last night that he could feel a muscle in my arm that had never been there before. There is a great free website www.bodybuilding.com where you can put in your gender and what you want to do and pick from numerous exercise plans from various trainers. They also have small videos on every weightlifting exercise so you can see how to do it. I am also up to walking 3 minutes and 2 minutes of jogging for 25 minutes. I need to be more regular with that.
I have decided to go back to tracking my meals and getting them entered before I eat it. It really helps keep me on track to have it all mapped out and I am working from home the next couple of weeks at least so will be able to keep my meals all made at home. I have decided I also need to get away from the cycling and the one day a week which is a eat anything day. I am taking several great things I learned while on the diet though. I am staying with the five meals a day because that is great and keeps my blood sugar level. I also am staying with more protein that I used to have. I am going to have most my carbs during the first half of the day and I am going to reduce the amount of wheat carbs and instead get it through beans and other grains like oatmeal. On meals where I have carbs, I will cut back on fats and vice versa. But I am not going to say any food is off limits. I am going to track calories and see how it goes. If my weight won't drop like before, then I might have to go back but right now I think this is a more healthier mentally for me to try. I'm not going to have "eat anything" days. If I am craving something, I will just work it into my calories and rather than go hog wild, hopefully keep my portions of pizza in check.

I'm using Daniel Mohl's F# templates for Windows phone, but it seems the bundled FSharp.Core doesn't have some of the quotations code. I'm trying to port this code from regular .NET:
open System.ComponentModel
open Microsoft.FSharp.Quotations
open Microsoft.FSharp.Quotations.Patterns
type ViewModelBase() =
let propertyChanged = new Event<_, _>()
let toPropName expr =
match expr with
| PropertyGet(a, b, list) -> b.Name
| _ -> failwith "Unsupported: " + expr.ToString()
interface INotifyPropertyChanged with
member x.PropertyChanged = propertyChanged.Publish
member x.NotityPropertyChanged expr =
propertyChanged.Trigger(x, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(toPropName expr))
But the compiler complaints about Microsoft.FSharp.Quotations.Patterns and PropertyGet. It seems it doesn't even know the Expr type. Any idea on how to solve this?

What is a Mystery School?
Welcome to the Ultimate Mystery called LIFE!
When we were born we did not receive training or knowledge about who we are, or where we are, nor did we get initiated into life as they did in the old days in every tribe on this planet. The ancient Initiations are lost to us except for some remnants of ancient times that still exist in dogmatic form within religion. The Mystery Schools throughout time have kept these traditions alive - and safe - from the machinery of time that pushes us forward. As people sped up they forgot the old ways. The Mystery School is here to bring this information back to light!
Since ancient times, Mystery Schools have existed across the globe for those who feel called to walk a life path of true knowledge, understanding and wisdom that integrates the seen and unseen worlds. Mystery School teachings inspire the soul, train the mind, and hand down tools of empowerment that can be applied toward practical success and fulfillment in life. Traditionally, mystery school teachings have helped people gain understanding, achieve wisdom, and strengthen inner guidance. The training they offer helps to clear limiting physical energies and enhance spiritual direction towards a more purposeful existence.
Mystery Schools have been likened to universities for the soul, where the curriculum focuses on awakening and developing our highest potential, and on attaining divine awareness. Beyond merely teaching, the mystery schools help students refine conscious potential, build focus, and activate their innate powers through a series of initiations, ceremonies, and sacred meditations. The purpose of the Mystery Tradition is the conscious realization of one's True Self and the connection to others, both physically and spiritually. With this expanded awareness comes the power to bridge spiritual energies into the physical world for healing and transformation, at a personal and planetary level. Ultimately the Mystery School is about true service, which we know is the way back to God/Goddess.
Today we exist ONLY for the purpose of facilitating the creation of the new Shamballah which we know will be accomplished by the fusion of Indigo and Elder. This new world will be to the Glory of God and all people will have joy and abundance in all things. Such a world has existed before under the rule of the Egyptian Gods and Goddesses and it can come again. This is our HOPE!

RECEIVING a
Deep Inner Satisfaction
You can have true happiness and deep inner satisfaction by learning how to create passion in your life and at training satisfaction from within and not from the external things in life.
Your Highest Human Potential
as humans with lessons to learn here on earth, we encounter many energies that lead us to a crucial point in life, a point where you may now find yourself, in the center of being, a spiritual being in an earthly shell, ready to become more...
LEARNING to
Create a Better Reality for Yourself
As we loosen the grip of reality we need to return to that one vibration that was right and this process will teach you how to recreate your reality in a new way.
"When you have come to the edge of all light that you know and are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown, Faith is knowing one of two things will happen~There will be something solid to stand on or You will be taught how to fly."

Schizophrenia Health Center
Schizophreniform Disorder
In this article
How Is Schizophreniform Disorder Diagnosed?
If symptoms of schizophreniform disorder are present, the doctor will perform a complete medical history and physical exam. While there are no laboratory tests to specifically diagnose schizophreniform disorder, the doctor may use various tests -- such as brain imaging (e.g., MRI scans) or blood tests -- to rule out physical illness as the cause of the symptoms.
If the doctor finds no physical reason for the symptoms, he or she may refer the person to a psychiatrist or psychologist, mental health professionals who are trained to diagnose and treat mental illnesses. Psychiatrists and psychologists use specially designed interview and assessment tools to evaluate a person for a psychotic disorder. A diagnosis of schizophreniform disorder is made if a person has characteristic symptoms that last less than six months.
What Is the Treatment for Schizophreniform Disorder?
Treatment for schizophreniform disorder generally consists of medication and psychotherapy (a type of counseling). People with severe symptoms or who are at risk of hurting themselves or others may need to be hospitalized until the condition is stabilized.
- Medication: The primary medications used to treat the psychotic symptoms of schizophreniform disorder, such as delusions, hallucinations, and disordered thinking, are called antipsychotics. A group of newer medicines, called atypical antipsychotics, are most commonly used. These include Risperdal, Seroquel, Geodon, Abilify, and Zyprexa.
- Psychotherapy: The goal of therapy is to help the patient recognize and learn about the illness and its treatment, establish goals, and manage everyday problems related to the illness. It can also help the person manage the feelings of distress associated with the symptoms. Family therapy can help families deal more effectively with a loved one who has schizophreniform disorder.
What Is the Outlook for People With Schizophreniform Disorder?
People with schizophreniform disorder recover within six months. If the symptoms do not improve, the person likely has schizophrenia, which is a lifelong illness. According to the American Psychiatric Association, about two-thirds of people with schizophreniform disorder go on to develop schizophrenia at some point.
Can Schizophreniform Disorder Be Prevented?
There is no known way to prevent schizophreniform disorder, or its possible progression to schizophrenia. However, early diagnosis and treatment can help decrease the disruption to the person's life, family, and friendships.

Victory for Public Health: New U.S. Guidelines on Alcohol Consumption Drop Positive Spin on Drinking
On May 27, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services released the updated Dietary Guidelines for Americans. We applaud the revisions in the U.S. Dietary Guidelines on alcohol consumption. The new edition provides a far more objective, comprehensive, and specific summary of the relative risks and benefits of consuming alcoholic beverages than the previous (1995) version.
Without encouraging drinking, the Guidelines acknowledge that small amounts of alcohol -- up to one per day for women and two per day for men -- consumed by most consumers who choose to drink may not be harmful. The Guidelines catalogue the many and varied risks of drinking above the more restrictively defined "moderate" standard and identify those classes of consumers who should not drink at all. In citing a potential benefit of modest alcohol consumption on coronary heart disease (CHD) risk, the Guidelines -- quite in contrast to the 1995 edition -- specify that the benefit is essentially limited to older men and women, those at highest risk for the disease. The Guidelines wisely acknowledge that younger people, who have a low risk of CHD, have little if anything to gain -- and perhaps much to lose -- by drinking.
For the first time, and in keeping with recent epidemiologic evidence, The Guidelines include a specific mention that alcohol consumption increases the risk of breast cancer, a matter of considerable concern to women. The Ninth Report to Congress of the National Toxicology Program, which was released earlier this month, listed alcoholic beverages as a "known human carcinogen," and specifically identified alcohol as a likely cause of breast cancer, as well as many other cancers.
Significantly, the new Guidelines advise "women who may become pregnant" to avoid alcohol to reduce the risk of birth defects; this language is an expansion of an earlier warning to "women who are trying to conceive," and reflects the reality that many women do not always plan pregnancies.
Lastly, the current text omits previous gratuitous language about the use of alcohol to enhance the enjoyment of meals. The same statement could have been included in reference to salt, sugar, and fat, and the Advisory Committee opted to eliminate an obvious inconsistency with other text in the Guidelines.
The new Guidelines provide balanced, objective
summary information on alcohol consumption. Fortunately, they clearly discourage drinking
above moderate levels (one drink per day for women, two for men) and can no longer be
interpreted as official encouragement of drinking for health reasons.
Comparison Between the U.S. Guidelines on Alcohol Consumption, 1995 & 2000

Further information on the Guidelines is also available at the Department of Health and Human Services (http://www.health.gov/dietaryguidelines/) or the Department of Agriculture (http://www.ars.usda.gov/dgac/).

Hey, unless you are planning on doing quite advanced dressage tests there really is no need for a double bridle, people seem to use them these days for absolutely no reason other than everybody else has their horse in them. They can help to get the horse into an advanced outline when used correctly, but with correct training you can get your horse into an advanced outline without a double bridle. THey can also be pretty dangerous if not used properly, encouraging the horse to buck if not released at the right time.
xx RIP Fenny- You gave me so much happiness and so many great memories xx

Double bridles are only for horses that already work in an outline on their own and don't need to be held, its for advanced dressage so the hands have more contact with the mouth but should never be used to hold the horse at all. You will notice that some riders let one rein drop after they have finished their rounds. I personally dont think youre ready for one.

Leigh Bardugo, author of Shadow and Bone (a fantasy epic published by Henry Holt in 2012), identified her ideal agent by reading a blog profile, and went from an initial query to a book deal in just over a month. Christine Brodien-Jones, who's published middle grade fiction with Macmillan, HarperCollins, and Random House, found her agent through pure serendipity: a cold query to a major publishing house, an unfortunate editorial departure, a form letter, and then a happy reunion with the editor-turned-agent who'd loved her writing. Susanna Leonard Hill, who writes children's picture books, met her agent during one of her daughter's playdates (the agent just happened to be the mother of a classmate!). An author of YA novels who blogs as "Feaky Snucker" landed her agent via #Pitchmas, a holiday-time Twitter feed that matches authors' novel pitches with agents looking for new clients. And the diverse list goes on.
For every agented and/or published author, it seems, there is a different story about how that vital connection with an agent was initially forged. My own story involved years of writing (of course), a lot of research, a series of targeted and customized query letters, a bit of luck, and finally a call from the world's greatest agent, who worked with me for two years before I produced a manuscript she felt ready to sell.
Chances are your kids aren't going to have a playdate with the children of a literary agent any time soon, and few these days would recommend querying editors at major houses directly. As for Twitter opportunities like #PitchMas and #PitMad, as many aspiring authors who have participated will tell you, they can be as much a shot in the dark as the normal querying process, if somewhat more exhilarating. So in a world saturated with advice, much of it dated, naive, or unwise, what are the wisest ways to pursue and secure representation for your novel? How to wade through the mountains of advice out there to identify the most effective way to find an agent?
In lieu of dispensing my own advice, what follows is a modest attempt at curation. I've read probably hundreds of posts and articles on the subject over the last five or six years, often obsessively so, and though I'm now lucky enough to have an agent, I continue to follow many threads related to writing and publishing, particularly for aspiring and debut novelists. As the pub date of my own debut novel approaches, I'm having more and more conversations with friends, colleagues, and relatives seeking representation for their fiction, and I've found that these are the sources I most often send their way.
Much of the advice you'll find in these posts and articles will start to sound familiar after a bit of reading around: making sure your novel manuscript is complete and as polished as it can be before querying, avoiding gimmicks at all costs, querying just a few agents at the same time ("small-batch querying," as Bardugo helpfully calls it in the post linked above), expecting and handling lots of rejection, and so on. Some of the pieces below are now several years old and may not show up at the top of Google searches, which is one of the reasons I decided to write this post. Please note that the position of these links on the list isn't a reflection of their value as I perceive it. The first several links provide general overviews of the process, with more or less information depending on the nature of the post. The next few discuss how to identify and target the right agents and understand what agents do in relation to what you hope one of them will do for you. Next come what I believe are some of the best resources for producing a perfect query letter, followed by a special retro treat at the end. Please let me know of any other particularly good resources out there for finding an agent, and I'll link to them in an update.
10. How I Got My Agent. You might begin by reading a selection from this series of guest posts by published authors hosted on the Writers Digest site. Here you'll find debut novelists as well as established bestsellers discussing their invariably idiosyncratic experiences in seeking representation. There are now dozens of contributions up, going back to May of 2009.
9. How To Find A Literary Agent. A reader-friendly and non-intimidating introductory post by Nathan Bransford, author of the Jacob Wonderbar series for Dial (Penguin USA) and a former agent with Curtis Brown. Not too detailed, but it gives a great overview of the process if all of this is new to you.
8. How To Find A (Real!) Literary Agent. This article by bestselling sci-fi author A.C. Crispin was posted on the website of the Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America in 2010. It's a much more detailed overview of the process than you'll find in Bransford's post, with lots of helpful advice about patience, bogus agents, and other relevant topics.
7. A Step-By-Step Guide to Finding Representation for Your Novel or Nonfiction Book. This extensive on-line guide is hosted at Writer's Relief, a commercial submission service that helps authors "make well-targeted, professional submissions to literary agents and editors." Though the company charges for its hands-on services (you have to write for a "rate quote"), they've quite generously posted piles of free and sound advice here for those seeking representation, including their own respective clients.
6. Targeting Agents by Hallie Ephron at netplaces.com. Ephron is a highly-regarded suspense writer (HarperCollins/William Morrow), and this succinct no-nonsense post gives some of the best tips for identifying particular agents to approach: scanning book acknowledgments, getting referrals from unexpected sources, attending conferences (though selectively), and others.
5. "A Right Fit": Navigating the World of Literary Agents. Posted at The Millions, this wonderful article by Michael Bourne (fiction writer, poet, and contributing editor for Poets & Writers) combines an honest appraisal of his own experiences of rejection with some anthropological investigation at Folio Literary Management, where he watches as overworked New York agents reject aspiring writers at dizzying speed. A clear-eyed but ultimately optimistic and extremely helpful take on the subject of representation.
4. The Impossible Dream: How to Find Your Perfect Agent. The premise of New York Times-bestselling author Jennifer Crusie's post is an eye-opening one: "Most beginning writers (and many experienced writers) think that all they have to do is get an agent, any agent, who will sell their books and all their problems will be over. But if they get an agent who only sells their books, their problems are just beginning." An unusual but clarifying take on the subject from an author and teacher who cares passionately about the craft and business of writing.
3. AQ Connect: Examples of Successful Queries. This link, hosted on AgentQuery.com, will take you to a discussion board that's chock-full of models for successful query letters across many genres. Here you'll find successful authors sharing the epistolary prose that got their feet in the door, posting their agent-getting letters with drool-making subject lines like "Query that got me 18 full requests and 5 offers of rep" and "Query that's working (Updated): 3 fulls and 2 partials in 4 weeks."
2. What Agents Really Want. This old post by Natalie R. Collins (a novelist and nonfiction writer) at writing-world.com consists of a rapid-fire sequence of responses from eight well-regarded agents speaking to both long-term and immediate strategies for appealing to a potential agent. What's helpful in this post is the consistency of the responses to particular questions.
1. Agent Protocol and No No No. It's not just about the query letter, of course. These links will take you to two categories of posts that appeared on the immensely popular (and now inactive) blog by "Miss Snark," a New York agent who was blogging in the mid-2000s. What's particularly good about her advice is its capacious range and brutal honesty: she's writing not simply about how to send out those initial feelers, but also about the etiquette of following up, the perils of multiple submissions, the art of pestering, and so on. You can find a full index of her legendary posts at The Snarkives.

We performed intake and digestibility studies in four common (Hippopotamus amphibius) and four pygmy (Hexaprotodon liberiensis) hippos from two zoological institutions, using acid detergent lignin as an internal marker for the quantification of faecal output. In the case of one pygmy hippo, where total faecal collection was also possible, there was no distinct difference between the two methods of faecal output quantification. Two animals from each species were tested on a conventional zoo diet of hay and concentrates (diet HC) and on hay only (diet H). The other two animals received fresh grass at two different levels of intake (diets G1 and G2). Dry matter (DM) intake was higher on HC than on H or G diets, and averaged 37 +/- 11 for common and 35 +/- 14 g/kg(0.75) for pygmy hippos. There were no species differences in the average digestibility (aD) coefficients. Non-dietary faecal nitrogen averaged 65 +/- 4% of total faecal nitrogen, aD of crude protein (CP) averaged 67 +/- 9% and true protein digestibility 89 +/- 3%. Average digestibility of DM and crude fibre averaged 54 +/- 11% and 45 +/- 17%, respectively. In comparison with ruminants, hippos generally achieve lower aD for DM, organic matter and fibre parameters, but equal or higher aD CP coefficients. This is most likely due to the absence of significant fermentative activity in the hindgut and the corresponding low metabolic faecal nitrogen losses. Digestible energy intake was higher on HC than on H or G diets and averaged 0.30 +/- 0.11 MJ/kg(0.75) metabolic body mass. This value is extremely low for ungulates, supporting earlier suspicions that hippos have particularly low metabolic rates, and explains the proneness of this species to obesity in captivity when fed energy-dense pelleted feeds.

In practice there are a number of systems for persistent identifiers, such as the Handle System, Purls, Uniform Resource Name (URN), Archival Resource Keys (ARK), and Extensible Resource Identifier (XRI). There is a good overview by Juha Hakala How do you best combine these identifiers with "cool" linked data URIs? Can you take these URI prefixes as canonical for the persistent identifiers systems mentioned above?:
At least Purl and XRI could made compatible with cool URIs, but for Purl you would need to hack the resolver at purl.org. My question is not about which system is better and whether to use other identifiers but HTTP-URIs at all, but about what to do if you already have these other identifiers and their infrastructure. You could create a HTTP proxy but Handle and Purl already have their resolver infrastructure. I'd be interested in solutions where people actually use a non-HTTP-URI-infrastructure system combined with a Linked Data environment. Can you avoid adding

You can, for instance, relate each identifier by utilizing specific sub properties of dcterms:identifier, i.e., for each identifier type you have to create a separate sub property, e.g., ex:doi.

This may helps to display the identifier as literal string, but if there already is an URI form if the identifier this adds no information, so what's the benefit?

The Virtuoso Sponger Middleware enables the development of Custom Resolvers for naming schemes (e.g., URNs) associated with protocols beyond HTTP, including DOI, OAI & LSID.
Virtuoso has an owl:sameAs inference rule, so you can have co-referents in Virtuoso that have URIs based on different schemes. When said context is enabled you end up with a union of all data that is accessible to SPARQL or exposable at an Address associated with any of the co-Referents entity names references (URI based Names). See owl:sameAs inference tutorial also.

Is 'DEFINE input:same-as "yes"' a standard construct or a Virtuoso extension? Can you point me to an example where Virtuoso is used in practice with a custom resolver for other kinds of persistent identifiers (DOI, Handle, Purl, ARK...)?

Oregon wine industry growth continues in 2012: Annual census reports positive trends for production, sales, number of wineries
OWB Blog (Nov 13 2013) Wine Business
The number of Oregon wineries topped 500 and production exceeded 50,000 tons, according to the 2012 Oregon Vineyard and Winery Census Report that was released today by the Oregon Wine Board (OWB). The annual report is produced for OWB by the Southern Oregon University Research Center.
Total number of wineries in 2012 was 545, continuing a steady growth trend over recent years. Production, measured by the size of the harvest, reached 50,176 tons from 25,440 acres of vineyards. The number of vineyards in the state also grew to 905 in 2012.
While the production numbers and winery count represented significant increases over 2011, Gregory Jones, professor and research climatologist at SOU in Ashland who supervised the census, cautioned not to interpret this as solely due to organic growth. He said some of the increase was attributable to changes in how the information was gathered. Jones said the 2012 census drew on a broader assortment of data than may not have been available to researchers in previous years.
"We really did cast a broad net and queried more sources than we did in 2011," said Jones. "We believe that we did capture some underestimates from years past."
Pinot noir and Pinot gris continue to be the two largest produced varieties, while growth continued in Chardonnay and Syrah. Pinot noir production totaled 28,565 tons, followed by Pinot gris at 7,423 tons, Chardonnay at 2,605 tons and Syrah at 2,097 tons. The statistics reflect a growing popularity of Oregon's white varieties and further diversification of varieties.
The North Willamette Valley continued to dominate with 73% of the total production at 37,027 tons. The Rogue Valley was the second highest producing region with 10% of the total or 4,983 tons.
The full report, which is available on the Oregon Wine Board website, also showed sales of Oregon wine in 2012 topping 2 million cases for the second straight year, reaching 2.4 million cases. Pinot noir, Oregon's flagship variety, represented 48% of total sales while Pinot gris captured 24%.

The Department of Consumer and Business Services, Occupational Safety and Health Division (Oregon OSHA) wants to remind Oregon students working
during the summer to focus on working safely.
The top suggestion is to report any unsafe condition or equipment problems to your supervisor promptly. If there is any doubt in your mind about the safety of the materials you are handling or
your work duties, you have the responsibility to bring your concerns to your supervisor's attention.
The first years at work shape habits throughout the rest of an employees career, says Peter De Luca, administrator of Oregon OSHA. Its vital that employers focus on training an employee correctly
during their first days on the job. That training could, literally, save the employees life.
Oregon injury statistics show that 10 percent of all serious workplace injuries occur during a workers first thirty days at work. A goal of the Safe Jobs, Smart Business educational campaign
initiated by the Department of Consumer and Business Services is to provide employers with resources to assist training new workers through the Oregon OSHA Web site, www.orosha.org
An average of 170 workers under age 18 are seriously injured each year in Oregon, according to Workers Compensation Division data. Youth workplace injuries declined 40 percent between 1999-2003,
to a low of 134 injury claims in 2003. Falls and being struck by equipment are the two most common injury causes for younger workers.
Younger workers in any occupation should follow these safety suggestions:
Be ready for accidents and emergencies:
Prevent cuts and lacerations:
Protect yourself, and your senses:
Work should reflect your clothing choices:
Prevent Slips, Trips, and Falls:
If your work involves machine operations:
For work that requires manual lifting, be sure to use proper lift techniques:
Keep safe and prevent exposure to violence where you work:
Employers are required by law to provide a safe workplace and follow rules about compensation, meal and rest breaks, and work that is restricted for an employee under age 18. Contact Oregon OSHA
about workplace safety and health concerns, and for questions about wage & hour requirements or restricted activities contact the Bureau of Labor and Industries.

I have a Windows 2000 Terminal Server and I need to upgrade to Windows Server 2003 R2. What path do I need to take to do an in-place upgrade? My only choice is an in-place upgrade in this scenario. Do I use a Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard CD or is there a special Windows Server 2003 Terminal Server CD or what OS or Path do I take? Thanks in advanced!
There is no special version of Windows Server 2003 for Terminal Services-- it's a single product. (Obviously, the "Edition" that you need-- Standard, Enterprise, etc, would be dictated by your requirements.)
The OS itself will upgrade in-place without issue. I'd be most concerned about the Terminal Services Licensing service, which you might be running on this machine (but could be running on another). Per Microsoft, a Windows 2000 Terminal Services Licensing Server will upgrade in-place to Windows Server 2003 Terminal Services Licensing.

Are you hoping to see Ryan Gosling slip on the scorpion jacket once again for a sequel to last year's cult classic "Drive"? You may have to wait some time.
Filmmaker Nicolas Winding Refn tells The Burnley Citizen (via The Playlist) that while a direct sequel to the film will NOT take place, the character may pop up in a different film… eventually.
Asked about a direct sequel, Refn said "That is never going to happen. But the character of the driver might return in another film. We're playing with that idea. We'll see what happens."
Author James Sallis penned the book on which "Drive" was based and indicated earlier this year that a film was being developed based on the book's sequel "Driven".

Riding advice
06 August 2012 17:31
International show jumper and trainer Paul Crago believes in a carefully tailored combination of schooling and jump training to improve a horse's jump as far as possible on top of his own natural ability.
"Horse's aren't designed to jump so if your horse isn't naturally a good jumper you won't make him perfect, but there is a great deal you can do to improve his ability to jump," he says.
Paul goes on to explain the very first step for any horse and rider hoping to succeed in jumping - schooling on the flat.
"A good jumper must be able to engage his hocks and jump with power from behind, plus it's all about control and quality canter so flatwork exercises that involve transitions and lateral work are really important.
"For a young horse simple lateral movements including; leg-yield, shoulder-in, quarters-in and half-pass are all hugely beneficial. For a more experienced horse additional movements such as turn on the forehand are also great for building strength," explains Paul.
Gymnastics for jumping
Paul believes that using grid work is great way to keep you and your horse thinking and for teaching your horse stay careful.
"What exact combination of jumping exercises you use in your training will depend on your horse but generally grid work is good for horses whether they're old or young, experienced or not.
"Trotting poles up to a simple grid of cross-poles is a great place to start and from there on out there are thousands of grid variations to try. Just ensure you've always got someone who knows what they're doing on the ground to help and guide you."
Try this…
Step 1
Begin with basic trotting poles to work on rhythm and balance.
Step 2
Add some simple bounces over cross-poles after your trotting poles.
Step 3
Next, build up your grid by adding two strides to an oxer then one stride to an upright (keep the fences relatively low and simple). These additional elements will help to sharpen your horse up in front and build his strength behind. This exercise can be ridden in both directions but it is more difficult going backwards so only attempt that route on a more advanced horse.
Step 4
To up the difficulty you can make your trotting poles into low uprights.
Step 5
The next step is to add one stride then an oxer to the end of your grid. To further increase the difficulty, gradually widen the rails of your oxer to increase your horse's stretch and arc over the fence. Take care not to do this too early in your horse's training and don't make the oxer too high - if you do and you're horse isn't ready for it you'll risk knocking his confidence.

Teaching Advocacy
The OHSU residency program is committed to training physician advocates as well as outstanding clinicians. Our advocacy curriculum helps residents appreciate the broader context of women's health care and includes teaching sessions on the national "Women's Health Report Card" by faculty member Michelle Berlin, MD, Vice Chair for Professional Development and one of the original authors of the report card, and various public health topics. Residents are given the opportunity to participate in "Free Fridays" four times a year, in which uninsured women come to the OHSU women's health clinic to receive free screening breast and pelvic exams. Residents also learn ways to advocate for women's health needs with their legislators. Many OHSU residents run for junior fellow leadership positions within the Oregon section and national ACOG, and with the help and support of our friends in Oregon ACOG, attend the annual ACOG Congressional Leadership Conference each year to meet with Oregon's senators and representatives in Washington DC.
