Should the U.S. Raise Federal Minimum Wage?
Written by Your 5News Team
Last updated on January 05, 2013 @ 11:44PM
Created on January 05, 2013 @ 11:11PM
Ten states in America will raise their minimum wage this year, but the Mountain State isn't one of them. In Washington state, the increase will make minimum wage there $9.19. This now has people wondering if the federal minimum wage, which is at $7.25, should change.
5 News asked a lot of people about this, and many of them said do think that the federal minimum wage should go up. In 2008, then Senator Obama used the minimum wage as part of his campaign platform for president, saying that it should go up to $9.50 by 2011.
"There's so many people struggling right now with the economy. I read a survey where a lot of the younger people with college educations are out of work because they don't get into this with minimum wage being so low," said Meadowbrook Mall employee Nancy Hatfield.
But some people don't think that raising the minimum wage will change anything, because businesses will simply raise their prices and lay off employees to adjust.
"The more you increase these wages, but you don't increase current profit or earning potential through the company that's hiring the people, then how's that going to work?" Tray Ramsey told 5 News.
Right now, there's no legislation on the table to raise minimum wage in West Virginia or nationally, but some predict this could be an issue that comes up during President Obama's second term.

Spiced Ruby and Emerald Indian Pepper Relish - Chutney
Total Time
Prep 30 mins
Cook 45 mins
This Anglo-Indian recipe is more a relish than a chutney, but it can be used like a chutney in cooking, as well as a condiment. A real "must" in this recipe are the Nigella Seeds, also known as Black Onion Seeds - these give the Relish/Chutney an authentic Indian flavour, as well as making it very special. It is delicious with all types of cheese boards, cold cuts and meat platters, burgers, sausages, curries and also when used in sandwiches. My daughter loves this in toasted cheese sandwiches! Or, give a jar as a gift as I often do! I couldn't resist giving it a "magical" name, especially as India is famous for its Rubies and Emeralds!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3 green peppers, cored, seeded and diced
- 3 red peppers, cored, seeded and diced
- 1 lb onion, skinned and roughly chopped
- 1 lb tomatoes, roughly diced
- 1 lb cooking apple, cored, peeled and chopped
- 3⁄4 lb demerara sugar or 3⁄4 lb brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground allspice
- 2 teaspoons nigella seeds, black onion seeds
- 1 teaspoon ground green peppercorn
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 3⁄4 pint malt vinegar
- Place all the prepared vegetables and fruit into a large preserving pan.
- Add the spices, sugar and vinegar and give them all a good stir.
- Bring them all to the boil and then reduce the heat and simmer until everything is soft; but make sure that the peppers still retain their shape. (Also make sure that the liquids have reduced and the relish is thick and holds together well).
- Remove from the heat, pot and cover straight away.
- Label and store in a cool, dry and dark place for up to 1 year.

Hiya French tart I found your recipe some time ago. I used this on the side of a madras with poppadums at one of my dinnerparties and the response was fantastic. Chunky and sweet perfect with the heat!!!! I call it Indian Gem Chutney because it is a gem. Well done & thankyou.
Tarty, this is great stuff. I was concerned when first jarring it up that the flavors wouldn't meld but, after 5 months in storage, they have turned to ambrosia! Looking forward to using this as an accompaniment to many dishes and extras in the coming months.
Wow--what a wonderful relish!! The brown sugar and apples are a wonderful combination in the middle of a savory relish. I have canned a whole recipe. When my sister tried it she begged for more than one jar. This will be wonderful as an accompaniment to many meats and cheeses I'll serve in the coming year. I think everyone needs to make a batch to understand its unique flavor. Thanks so much French Tart.....I will make in often in the future. Frank

[1] Hemochromatosis type 1 is the most common cause of hereditary hemochromatosis. Symptoms of this condition typically begin in adulthood. Early symptoms of hemochromatosis are nonspecific and may include fatigue, joint pain, abdominal pain, and loss of sex drive. Later signs and symptoms can include arthritis, liver disease, diabetes, heart abnormalities, and skin discoloration.[2] Hemochromatosis type 1 is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner and is caused by mutations in the HFE gene.[3]Hemochromatosis type 1 is a disease in which too much iron builds up in the body. This extra iron is toxic to the body and can damage the organs.
Hemochromatosis type 2
Hemochromatosis may be aquired or inherited. Hereditary hemochromatosis is classified by type depending on the age of onset and other factors such as genetic cause and mode of inheritance.[3] To learn more about other types of hereditary hemochromatosis click on the disease names below:

SDCC: Marvel's "Doctor Strange" Combats "Death and Pain" in New Trailer
Comic Books, Film
What if "Mad Max" was set in Los Angeles? Illustrator Scott Park used that premise in a new art series that takes classic cars from movies and television and gives them a "Mad Max"-ian spin.
Park used cars from "Ghostbusters," "Batman '66," "Back to the Future," "Toy Story," "Scooby Doo," "Dukes of Hazard," "Arrested Development," "Knight Rider," "Akira," and many other properties for the mashup art. You can check out each illustration below:
Have you ever wanted to cruise down the freeway or speed around abandoned desert roads in the iconic police car from Mad Max? Well now you can — if you have $90,000.
When it comes to Mad Max: Fury Road cosplay, Ben Carpenter's has undoubtedly earned a placed in Valhalla.
The 20-year-old engineering student transformed his standing wheelchair into a war rig, and himself into Max Rockatansky, in a nod to a scene from George Miller's action epic.
WB Games and Avalanche Studios have debuted a "Stronghold," a new trailer for Mad Max that introduces players to the faces and places of the Wasteland they'll encounter in the upcoming video game.
Debuting Sept. 1 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, Mad Max allows gamers to become the legendary lone warrior as they create and upgrade equipment and weapons to survive in the brutal post-apocalyptic world for George Miller's film series.
When Dale Walker first saw George Miller's 1979 classic Mad Max, he swore he'd one day own a car just like the Interceptor. Three decades and $125,000 later, he does.
Tracking down a rough-looking 1972 Australian Ford Falcon in 2008, the Michigan man began the process of pimping his post-apocalyptic ride. The engine alone cost $12,000.
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Avalanche Studios have released a gameplay trailer for Mad Max, which puts player in the role of the film franchise's star, left in a post-apocalyptic wasteland without a car. Or much of anything else, really. But once Max does assemble a new ride, everyone better get out of his way.
It's a lengthy trailer — it clocks in at about four and half minutes — that also provides a good overview of the setting, vehicular combat and the beatdowns. Oh, the beatdowns …
DC Entertainment will release a motion comic the explores the backstory of the upcoming Mad Max video game from Avalanche Studios and WB Games.
Written by Tom Taylor (Injustice: Gods Among Us, Earth 2) and illustrated by Jason Shawn Alexander (Legends of the Dark Knight), the story introduces Max's trusted mechanic Chumbucket, who plays a central role in the game, which will be released next year in conjunction with director George Miller's Mad Max: Fury Road.
"I love the Mad Max movies," Alexander tells USA Today, adding that the motion comic "was a great bit of nostalgia for me and also an opening to lend my own touches to this iconic character."
In the game, set in the post-apocalyptic world of the movie series, Max must cross a desert wasteland after his Interceptor his stolen by a gang of marauders.
By the time Mad Max 4: Fury Road is released, there will have been a gap of nearly 30 years between it and its predecessor, 1985's Beyond Thunderdome. Fury Road has had a long and complicated gestation, to say the least. Twelve years had already passed since the third Mad Max movie when its visionary director/producer George Miller first spoke informally to U.K. comics legend Brendan McCarthy of his desire to make a sequel. A year later McCarthy moved to Sydney, Australia, handpicked by Miller to reboot the Mad Max franchise and co-write the first draft of Fury Road's while developing storyboards and the core designs.
That takes us up to about 2003. Money troubles then affected the production, as the estimated $100 million budget proved hard to finance for what is essentially an Australian indie movie. When the funding was finally secured, the production was shelved, as the scouted locations in Namibia were deemed a security risk in the wake of the Iraq War. By 2009, it was being rumored the script would be produced as an Akira-influenced R-rated animation, which seemed all the likelier as Miller's animation-producing credentials were proven by the Happy Feet franchise. The Dr D studio Miller established as a digital production facility had also started concurrent development of a Mad Max video game, overseen by Miller and God of War II's Cary Barlog. But just as those rumors spread, the story took another turn. Locations were being scouted in the production's native Australia, cast members were being speculated upon and then confirmed. Work was about to start when unexpected levels of rainfall turned Broken Hill in New South Wales from a suitably post-apocalyptic-looking desert into a verdant oasis reportedly covered in a lush blanket of wildflowers.
The needle skips again, and primary photography finally, officially, kicked off in its original Namibian locations in July 2012. And the set there is as leaky as a sieve. As photographs of vehicles being transported to the set hit the Internet, Kennedy Miller Mitchell productions sought to control the flow of information with a press release that included the film's first official plot synopsis:

will button ever win
When you think that Kimi Raikkonen started the year after Button and has already won 7 GP or even Fernando Alonso who although started the same year as Raikkonen was test driver in '02 has also won GP as well as a WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP then Button's chances seem to be fading.
Even if you compare him to fellow Brit David Coultard at the same point of his career then you'll see that even he even won a GP before his 100th. Button's a victim of hype (Anyone remember him being called the next Mansel?).Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

I didn't say that he will. That was Sir Frank William's who said it and then the British..well English (I don't hear as much hype about him in Scotland) media thought "OMG he'll be our next British champion!" and haven't stopped hyping him since then.

Mansell never won the Indy 500. He won the 1993 PPG CART Indy Car World Series in his rookie year and Schumacher never denied Mansell a World title. Mansell won his only F1 title in 1992. I think you are thinking of Hill being hit by Schumacher in 94 when Mansell was in his econd year in CART

With Intel's older, slower Core 2 Duo E8500 chip under the hood, the CyberPower Gamer Infinity Draco was never going to reach the top of our performance charts. It's hard to justify this purchase in the face of faster E8600-powered PCs that are available at the same price.
In contrast with the top three systems, the CyberPower Gamer Infinity Draco turns to nVidia for its graphics card, although the 896MB GeForce GTX 260 is a powerful component in its own right. Our tests favoured the HD 4890, but the GTX 260 may be faster on some games.
A 500GB hard drive and 4GB allocation of memory are fairly standard at this price point, but it's worth noting that this RAM is of the faster, more expensive DDR3 variety. This should give the CyberPower Gamer Infinity Draco the edge in memory-intensive tasks, although our performance tests didn't provide much evidence of this. CyberPower also supplies a beefy 850W power supply, which is ample for overclocking and hardware upgrades.
Visit Business Advisor for the latest business news, reviews and blogs
The monitor supplied with the CyberPower Gamer Infinity Draco is the same 22in Digimate model as seen with the Best Buy Chillblast. It's a smart-looking budget display with a glossy finish and a digital connector that helps maintain image clarity.
And CyberPower takes top honours in its choice of system case for the Gamer Infinity Draco. The stylish Cooler Master model featured here is finished in two-tone metallic blue and glossy black.
A transparent side-panel also shows off the CyberPower Gamer Infinity Draco's illuminated interior, including a Gigabyte motherboard that's festooned with metallic blue components.
The motherboard has room for an additional two sticks of DDR3 memory and the CyberPower Gamer Infinity Draco is the only one of the group to support CrossfireX technology for a dual graphics card setup.

Buying advice: Budget desktop PCs (October 09 issue)
Processor: Intel's Core 2 Duo range offers almost unbeatable performance for the price. The 3.33GHz E8600 now supersedes the E8500 as the CPU of choice, appearing in the majority ?of desktop PCs in this price category.
Alternatively, go for one of Intel's latest quad-core chips, such as the Q9300 or Q9400. These processors perform well with newer applications and games.
AMD's Phenom II X4 920 and 940 also offer excellent value for money and quad-core performance, the latter being designed for easy overclocking.
Memory: If fast processors speed up your PC, a large bank of memory stops it from slowing down. Get the most out of your CPU by including at least 4GB of RAM. You can get by with 2GB, but your PC will run more smoothly with 4GB.
Storage: Digital media will quickly fill a reasonably sized hard drive; buy the biggest you can afford. A 500GB drive is a good investment. Consider using a pair of smaller drives rather than one large drive - a terabyte (1TB) is a huge amount of information to lose in one go.
Your DVD drive should write to the -R/+R formats at 18-speed or better. Eight-speed rewriting is good; if you want to copy up to 8.5GB at once, look for fast DVD-/+R dual-layer drives. Drives that can read Blu-ray are becoming affordable, but they're still quite rare at this price.
Display: Many PC manufacturers make sacrifices here to keep costs down. But a poor monitor can ruin your computing experience - try it out before buying.
Be aware that 19in screens offer a lower resolution than 20in and 22in monitors; 22in models display larger icons. Newer 22in flat-panels in the 16:9 format are capable of displaying full-HD content at a screen resolution of 1,080p.
A DVI or HDMI connector will provide a considerably better image than a VGA port, so look for a display with a digital input; if you want to connect additional devices you'll need at least two. Finally, look for a good response rate: 8ms or below should be fast enough for games.
Graphics cards: Truly hardcore gamers are unlikely to be happy with a sub-£750 PC, but you should be able to find a decent graphics card at this price.
We test PCs on the three-year-old game Fear, and Crysis, a far more demanding title. Although 50fps is enough to make a game playable, you can set your sights higher in this category - look for 80-100fps for decent gameplay.
Current pricing will limit you in this area, but ATI's Radeon HD 4890 graphics cards deliver great performance and value for money, making even cutting-edge games playable if you drop the resolution and settings a notch. If you're not into gaming, cutting back on graphics won't harm general performance.
Power supply: A large PSU is less vital at this price point, but look for a model with a full set of SATA and PCI Express connectors to make later upgrades easier.
Sound card and speakers: You may find a budget sound card at this price, but most motherboards depend on a decent built-in audio chip that can handle six-channel sound. To get surround sound you'll need a 5.1-channel system (five speakers and a subwoofer). A 2.1-channel stereo system will be good enough for most users. A monitor's built-in speakers seldom offer a satisfying audio experience.

Hungarian philosopher and political theorist Gaspar Miklos Tamas started out on the Left, moved steadily rightward, and then made an abrupt U-turn.

Convergence theory predicted that the world would become like Swedish social democracy. Why has the opposite happened?
The green group Zofi revitalized the environmental movement in Hungary.
Many leave Hungary and the rest of East-Central Europe in search of opportunity; others arrive in search of better lives.
Homelessness in Hungary no longer means exile or alienation as during the Soviet era, but no roof over one's head.
According to Central Europe expert Dariusz Kalan, the biggest mistake since the Warsaw Pact was disbanded is that "we don't have a common voice in Central Europe."
The countries of the former Warsaw Pact are not knuckling under to pressure from Russia. They're trying to avoid a new cold war.
"Women's liberation" made little if any impact in the latter days of the Communist era.
Hungarians take pride in the often hermetic nature of their culture, but can be prone to slighting outside influences.
Hungarian environmentalists had been trying to create an authentic Green Party ever since the end of Communism.

I also noticed, as I was waiting for my shuttle, that a man tried to get into the hostel without a security pass and he was quickly escorted out. "

Its right on the river, just below St. Patricks and a few blocks from Temple Bar The staff was super kind, let me store my stuff and put up with my four hundred questions (the free maps were great). The rooms were good, clean and had big lockers. The only downsides would be the breakfast and the tiny bathrooms. "

African Americans need to look beyond the makeup counter and drug store facial aisle when looking for skin care remedies. The reason is that while many of the products may be adequate, many are not designed for use with African American skin. African American skin not only contains more melanin that Caucasian and other skin types, but it is also more oily, and quicker to reveal sensitivity to certain products.
The best way to treat African American skin is to keep it very clean. African American skin responds well to natural, organic products. Many store-bought soaps contain artificial ingredients that can aggravate the skin. Dark skin will reveal reactions to artificial products through discoloration, which isn't always apparent with lighter skin. Some of the best organic cleansers for African American skin are shea butter soap, olive oil soap and African black soap. (Black soap can stain your shower though). If you prefer store-bought products, look for a hypo allergic, non-concomedegenic cleaners such as face Aveeno clear complexion cleansing bar. For astringent, use straight all natural witch-hazel (found near the alcohol and peroxide) in the grocery aisle.
African American's of all ages get acne. To make matters worse, on African Americans, dark scarring can last long after the outbreak. To treat acne on African American skin, you should first avoid using hair oils that run onto the skin, or be very diligent about keeping them away from the face as this is a major reason for acne on African Americans. Regular cleansing as mentioned does wonders for stopping acne. For stubborn outbreaks, dab a bit of tea tree oil of the blemish before going to bed.
Razor Bumps
Razor bumps are a difficult and painful problem for African Americans. They occur when freshly cut hairs curl back and pierce the skin resulting in painful and unsightly bumps. The best natural remedy for razor bumps is to stop shaving. When this is not possible, you can make a paste strawberries and sour cream or mix honey, aloe vera, water and crushed aspirin and apply it to the affected areas.
Pigment Issues
Many African Americans suffer from discolored and uneven skin tone. Even the smallest trauma or allergic reaction can cause light or dark splotches on the skin. You can treat hyper-pigmentation through gentle exfoliation. Use an oatmeal and honey facial scrub that you mix yourself with equal parts of each ingredient. Other gentle exfoliation treatments are a mask made of almonds that you soak overnight and then grind into a fine paste.

A new bike riding option, the "Amelia Island Trail," a family-friendly off-road route (paved, 10-feet wide) is ready for action, providing an additional place to ride bikes on the southend of Amelia Island.
OPENING CELEBRATION AT PETER'S POINT: Amelia Island Trail, a 6.2 Mile Biking & Pedestrian Trail
The "Amelia Island Trail" officially opens May 11, 2013 adding to the allure of this barrier island in northeast Florida for those who love to ride bikes, run, or walk. The Amelia Island Trail is a 6.2 mile off-road paved trail on Amelia Island's southend that runs along sections of the island's largest resorts, Summer Beach and Amelia Island Plantation. The trail runs between the Nassau Sound bridge at Amelia Island State Park all the way to Peter's Point Park beach access (in the vicinity of the Amelia Island Ritz-Carlton and Golf Club of Amelia). The public is invited to the opening celebration by "Friends of the Amelia Island Trail" at 8:30 am on Saturday, May 11, 2013 at Peter's Point Beachfront Park, located off South Fletcher Avenue, the northern trailhead (with large public parking lot). There will be a ribbon cutting, speeches, music and refreshments.
At the opening celebration, local club booths at Peter's Point will offer memberships — Amelia Island Runners Club, and North Florida Bicycle Club, plus a limited quantity of Amelia Island Trail T-shirts will be for sale prior to the event's start. This Amelia Island Trail is part of Florida's section of the East Coast Greenway. See more about Florida's extensive trail system, at the state of Florida's "Greenway and Trails System Plan"
Fernandina Beach has recently been awarded "bronze" as a "Bike-Friendly Community" 2013-2017 by The League of American Bicyclists, read more at city's website.
Fort Clinch State Park
Bike riding on Amelia Island's wide, flat beaches (around low tide) has really caught on in popularity these last couple of years. But besides riding right on the beach in the hard-packed sand, another great option for bike riding on Amelia Island is within Fort Clinch State Park (with entrance off Atlantic Avenue just a few blocks from Main Beach Park). Bike riders have the option to ride along the main park road all the way through to the parking area at the historic fortress itself (a 3-mile route one way), or ride rougher mountain biking trails through the maritime forest. Fort Clinch also offers bicycle rentals. Park entry fee is $6 for one vehicle with up to 8 passengers. If you walk or ride a bicycle into the State Park, the fee at entry ranger station is $2 per person. If you want to actually tour the historic fort there's an additional $2 fee paid at the shop where you enter the fort (also the place where you rent bikes). Call Fort Clinch about current fees for bike rentals at 904-277-7274. Enter Fort Clinch State Park at 2601 Atlantic Avenue, Fernandina Beach.
Grassy Trails for Hiking and Biking in Egans Greenway
There's also Egans Greenway, a wonderful spot for nature observation and biking, hiking and running with its grassy trails (about a mile across both sections, whether you go in the north side or the south side of Egans Greenway). Free to the public, entrances into the Greenway are located at the Fernandina Recreation Center on Atlantic Avenue (north section with restrooms and parking), two entrances from Jasmine Street (both north and south sections), and behind the Residence Inn on Sadler Road (south section).
Ride Bicycles on Amelia Island's Street Bike Lanes
Besides plenty of sidewalks to walk/run/bike, designated bike lanes area located on various Amelia Island streets. Toward the island's northend, Atlantic Avenue offers sidewalks flanking both sides of the road plus wide roadway shoulders. Atlantic Avenue is the main east-west corridor connecting the Atlantic Ocean beaches (from Main Beach Park) to Fernandina's downtown historic district by the Amelia River and Fernandina Harbor Marina.
Miles of Amelia Island's South Fletcher Avenue, the road that runs parallel to the beach, offers sidewalks. Plus the Avenue underwent new paving in 2011, when designated bike lanes were added (from Main Beach Park continuing south all the way to First Coast Highway/A1A, passing by Amelia Island Plantation to the south end Nassau Sound bridge).
For visitors staying overnight, ask your lodging establishment about the availability of bikes — some of the bed and breakfast inns offer complimentary bikes to guests. Located next to the beach, just across from Seaside Park and Sliders Seaside Grill in Fernandina Beach, Hall's Beach Rentals and More (904) 310-6124 (2021 South Fletcher at the Sadler Rd. roundabout) is just one of the local places to rent a bike. Pipeline Surf Shop 904-277-3717, is another place to rent bikes, located at 2022 First Avenue (also near Seaside Park, near corner of South Fletcher and Sadler.) Also, Kayak Amelia rents beach cruisers, call 904-261-5702 or 904-251-0016.

NASA headquarters, Washington D.C.
NASA's shift to open-source content management is back on after the incumbent contractor withdrew a bid protest on Feb. 4.
The withdrawal of the protest, filed by e-Touch Federal Systems on Dec. 28 after NASA awarded Rockville-Md.-based InfoZen a $40 million blanket purchase agreement, allows InfoZen to begin replacing NASA's existing content management system with open source architecture to run its 140 websites and 1,600 web assets and applications.
No reason for the withdrawn protest was listed on the Government Accountability Office's bid protest docket and is not immediately clear.
In an e-mail to FCW, InfoZen CTO Christopher David said the contract, which has a one-year base and four one-year options, officially began on Feb. 8 with InfoZen setting up for a smooth transition from e-Touch Federal Systems.
NASA had been pushing for the creation of a single infrastructure to support its websites and applications, giving preference to open-source technology in accordance with its Open Data Plan, which resulted from the Obama administration's Open Government Initiative.
Protest slows NASA open source project
Bid protests: Useful tool or abusive practice?
In a statement released prior to the bid protest, NASA said the agreement with InfoZen will provide a cloud-based solution for Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS) for internal and external websites and web applications. Services will include content management, as well as search and collaborative services, such as blogs and wikis.
NASA's main portal, www.nasa.gov, is heavily trafficked, attracting 600,000 unique web visitors per day and more than 140 million visits per year.
Ultimately, the bid protest delayed the start date by about one week for InfoZen, which had planned to begin work on Feb. 1. In accordance with federal law, an agency cannot move forward with a new contract while it is being protested.

Six Tips on Writing from John Steinbeck. The Obvious Secret to Getting Published in a Magazine. How Do You Know You're Growing as a Writer? I'm not sure how to open this post.
I thought about playing the simile card and saying something about how becoming a better writer is a lot like becoming a better other thing – a better architect, a better juggler, a better OPI color namer, a better human. That would have been entirely true. And entirely boring. I also considered manufacturing a conversation between a beginning writer and a seasoned writer that could foreshadow the post's inevitable wisdom. I probably would have included an exchange like this: Seasoned Writer: I'm told you want to know how I got to be me. Beginning Writer: Yes. Seasoned Writer: Was that sarcasm? Beginning Writer: Sarcasm? Seasoned Writer: Never mind. Beginning Writer: Yes, master. Seasoned Writer: First of all, stop attributing wisdom to someone just because he's older.
Beginning Writer: That's it? Seasoned Writer: Yup. Beginning Writer: It's that simple? Seasoned Writer: Who said anything about it being simple? 13 Weird Ways to Work Through Creative Blocks. Ten rules for writing fiction. Elmore Leonard: Using adverbs is a mortal sin 1 Never open a book with weather.
If it's only to create atmosphere, and not a character's reaction to the weather, you don't want to go on too long. The reader is apt to leaf ahead looking for people. There are exceptions. If you happen to be Barry Lopez, who has more ways than an Eskimo to describe ice and snow in his book Arctic Dreams, you can do all the weather reporting you want. 2 Avoid prologues: they can be annoying, especially a prologue following an introduction that comes after a foreword. 3 Never use a verb other than "said" to carry dialogue. 4 Never use an adverb to modify the verb "said" ... he admonished gravely. 5 Keep your exclamation points under control. 6 Never use the words "suddenly" or "all hell broke loose". 7 Use regional dialect, patois, sparingly. 8 Avoid detailed descriptions of characters, which Steinbeck covered. 10 Try to leave out the part that readers tend to skip.
Diana Athill Margaret Atwood Roddy Doyle. 25 Insights on Becoming a Better Writer. When George Plimpton asked Ernest Hemingway what the best training for an aspiring writer would be in a 1954 interview, Hem replied, "Let's say that he should go out and hang himself because he finds that writing well is impossibly difficult.
Then he should be cut down without mercy and forced by his own self to write as well as he can for the rest of his life. At least he will have the story of the hanging to commence with." Today, writing well is more important than ever. Far from being the province of a select few as it was in Hemingway's day, writing is a daily occupation for all of us — in email, on blogs, and through social media. It is also a primary means for documenting, communicating, and refining our ideas. So what can we do to improve our writing short of hanging ourselves?
How To Drive Yourself Crazy as a Writer. Here are four simple ways to drive yourself crazy (or to drive other writers & readers crazy!)
: 1. Think the very first book you've ever written is ready for publication. This is a very hard truth for beginning writers to swallow. No one wants to believe they've gone to all the hard work of writing a book for nothing. It took me five books (not to mention a couple of books that I started but never finished). Fortunately, all the work isn't for nothing. We'll only drive ourselves crazy with potential rejections, poor sales, and crushing feedback if we attempt to put our books out there too soon. 2. I save my kids' writing assignments. But, boy, in second grade they thought those stories were wonderful. Even though there's no set number of years someone needs to write before being ready for publication, there's something to be said for giving ourselves plenty of growing room.

Recent reviews
Good 3.8 /5 from 216 reviews
This is the second time I have stayed at the Sleep Inn Ogden. The rooms are nice and I like the fact that they have separate rooms/areas for guests that have pets versus those who do not. The rooms are nice, the parking is easy access even with a long trailer. There are eateries very close by. The breakfast is a little on the skimpy side, but ok. The only negative (and this certainly is not the Sleep Inn Ogden's fault) is the fact that my I-phone GPS screwed us up on both ocassions when we tried to find the Hotel!! When you input the address, the GPS directs you to a pitch dark Industrial area about 2.5 miles south of where the actual Hotel sits. Crazy technology. So if you book this Hotel (which I have no problem recommending) dont rely on your technology to direct you to the Hotel property.
The room was extremely small. The man at the front desk wasn't very friendly. The breakfast was great. It was okay for a one night stay but I wouldn't want to stay any longer.
this was a really nice hotel...great showers
The place has paper thin walls. You can hear everything going on next door, down the hall and of course from the truck stop across the street. Dont stay here if you want a peaceful night on your travles.
The room was nice, but you could easily hear the TV in the next room. Full breakfast was available. Shower in the room was interesting. It was a round fiberglass enclosure. The controls were above average allowing for adjustment of amount of water and separate temperature control.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us
