Lot # 662 (of 1594) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
Exceptional 1935 Babe Ruth Double-Signed Personal Check
Starting Bid - $1,500.00, Sold For - $5,287.50
Extraordinary double-signed Babe Ruth personal check, dated September 12, 1935, is made out to "Cash" in the amount of $50.00, and signed "G. H. Ruth" in black fountain pen on both the front and the back (each signature grading "8/9"). The entire check, which is drawn on the Chemical Bank & Trust Company of New York, has been filled out entirely in Ruth's hand and bears his name printed along the left margin. This is one of the best Ruth checks we have seen. The check is dated just three months after he announced his retirement from baseball. Many years ago several hundred Ruth checks originating from the family appeared on the market all at once. These have long since been absorbed and now Ruth checks are increasingly difficult to find. Very few were made out to cash and signed twice, both on the front and back. This is a choice example with both signatures completely untouched by the normal bank cancellation marks and stamps. Checks have long been a favorite of autograph collectors due to their inherent authenticity and the fact that the signatures on checks are almost always very well executed. The check (8.25 x 3 inches) displays normal bank cancellation stamps and holes. The check has a single very faint center crease (virtually undetectable) and is otherwise in exceptional Near Mint condition. LOA from James Spence/JSA. Reserve $1,500. Estimate $3,000/$5,000. SOLD FOR $5,287.50

Explosive training device left on plane
British Columbia's transit police have been forced to explain how an inert explosive device used in a dog-training exercise was left on an Air Canada airplane that then flew to Toronto.
The force has blamed a single officer who subsequently resigned, and says new training protocols have been put in place in the two years since the mistake was made.
The critics who shed light on the incident, however, cite the security breach as a reason for alternate transit security.
"I would hope there would be no loss of confidence," Anne Drennan, spokeswoman for the Vancouver area Transit Police, said in an interview Monday.
"This is the error of one officer. It wasn't a situation, fortunately, where anybody was actually put at risk but it's something that should never have happened and we've taken steps to ensure that it won't happen again."
The glass bottle containing a chewing gum-sized wad of explosive material was missing for two days before the dog-handling transit officer noticed in January 2011 that his kit was incomplete.
By that time, the plane where the exercise was staged was back in service and on the ground in Ontario.
Authorities including the RCMP and Coast Guard were involved in a vigorous search that finally gave an all-clear for use of the aircraft after 14 checks.
They came to the conclusion the device had likely been picked up as trash, transported to a dump and incinerated.
Drennan said preventing future incidents includes requiring any officer involved in training to fill in a log book showing all the samples have been returned and the kit is completely intact.
The force also no longer uses in-service aircraft for training, opting instead for retired planes located at a Vancouver area technical college, she said.

No, the news wasn't good when U.S. Department of Energy and Pantex officials disclosed what many residents near the huge weapons-assembly plant had feared.
Some cancer-causing agents have leaked into the area's water supply.
The overriding issue now is how Pantex, DOE and Amarillo utility officials plan to minimize - and possibly eliminate - the effects of the chemical leakage into the aquifer.
The test wells monitored by the city show that benzene - a known carcinogen - has leaked into water. The source of the benzene reportedly goes back to the World War II era, when Pantex was using certain solvents in the production of high-explosive ordnance.
Weapons production, storage and disassembly, of course, have traveled light years since then at Pantex. The nuclear age has brought about a whole new set of challenges.
So, what should be the community's response to these test results?
One response ought to be encouragement. The new management at Pantex, BWXT, is showing a refreshing spirit of candor and openness. BWXT has sought to get ahead of the story by disclosing the levels of benzene found in the monitoring wells. BWXT managers have leveled with the public during their brief time running the plant, and for that they deserve praise.
The city also is stepping up its monitoring efforts, pledging to increase its testing schedule to once per month rather than once per quarter. Amarillo water production superintendent Emmett Autrey called attention to the "heightened potential" for water contamination. The city's stepped-up vigilance also is welcome.
And what should authorities do to eliminate the problem?
Dan Glenn, manger of the DOE's National Nuclear Security Administration office in Amarillo, and Dennis Ruddy, BWXT Pantex manager, say the "volatile organic compounds" that comprise the solvents can be "aerated" out of the water system by mixing the water with air. This process, they wrote in an Other Opinion page essay published Aug. 5, can remove the compounds from the water "very easily."
Let us hope so.
It is easy to criticize the folks at Pantex for the sins of their predecessors. However, such criticism will do nothing to eliminate the problem.
What must occur is for the people at the helm now to respond.
Pantex, DOE and city officials all have pledged to knuckle down to solve this vexing situation. They must waste no opportunity to deliver on that solemn pledge.

A 17-month-old who drowned in her grandparents' fish pond Saturday in Wheeler was buried Tuesday in the family cemetery south of Spearman.
Natalie Kate Christner of Rockdale died at Parkview Hospital in Wheeler, said Wheeler County Sheriff Jimmy Adams.
Adams said law-enforcement authorities are treating the death as a "horrible accident," and no charges will be filed.
According to Adams:
The family was working in the back yard on the pump house connected to the swimming pool, 20 feet from a goldfish pond. A broken part on the pump caused water to spray everywhere, soaking the mother, Millie Christner. She went inside to dry off.
While she was inside, her husband, Jeff Christner, and his father, Mac Christner, were bent over the pump to fix a broken valve. When Millie Christner came out, she asked where Natalie went.
A short search resulted in the family finding Natalie face down in the goldfish pond in 18 inches of water. She was 2 feet tall.
"Babies just don't know to stand up when they get into that situation," Adams said. "She got a lung full of air and couldn't talk or tell them what was going on."
Adams said he thinks the girl was in the water 10 to 15 minutes before she was found.
The grandparents were trained emergency medical technicians, Adams said.
He said the family took every precaution to prevent such an accident. The gates around the yard had latches on them. The exterior gates were padlocked, he said.
"It's just one of those terrible, terrible tragedies," Adams said.
Adams said it made him think twice about putting in a similar goldfish pond for his grandson, who is 3.
"Now, I'm fixing to build fences," Adams said.

Acute massive atelectasis of the lung was accurately described in 1890 by Pasteur.1 The studies of Bradford2 in connection with war wounds were largely responsible for the renewal of interest in this subject. Numerous and important contributions have appeared in the literature in the last five years.
Acute massive atelectasis of the lung usually occurs after abdominal operations or thoracic traumas. The nonsurgical and nontraumatic occurrence of acute massive atelectasis of the lung as a complication has been described in such diseases and conditions as diphtheria,1 acute meningitis,3 poliomyelitis,4 pneumonia,5 acute6 and chronic7 suppurations of the lung, carcinoma,8 pulmonary tuberculosis,9 aneurysm of the aorta,10 intrabronchial tumor,11 foreign body in the bronchus12 and hyperplasia of the thymus.13
The etiology of acute massive atelectasis of the lung is obscure. Some evidence is available as to the pathogenesis.

Robin Caroll: Up Close and Personal
This is Pam, and I've asked Robin Caroll to share some tips on prepping for a writing marathon. I've seen her go dark and resurface a few weeks later with a 90K book. It's an amazing thing to watch.
So, let's turn this show over to Robin. Welcome to Seekerville, girl!
Let me first say that I am so not a plotter. But I'm not a total pantster either. Let me explain.
I do very thorough character sheets on the protagonists and antagonists. I get pictures of them, do their history...everything. Here's an example of what I do: Madeline "Maddie" Baxter character sheet. That is just the first page of that character's information. I do this for my 3-4 main characters.
As far as plotting goes....I know the basics: Basic plot, setting....then I have my "open" areas: alibis, research, etc.
When I'm ready for a writing marathon, here are some tips that I've found helpful to me:
(Before starting, make sure you have someone else watching your children, doing whatever household stuff you normally do, etc. so you can spend some serious time focusing and being creative)
1. Neurologists have reported you can only concentrate on a subject for 42 minutes before you fade, if even for a moment. I get the scene I need to write in my head, set my timer to 45 minutes, and just write.
2. No editing allowed in your 45 minutes.
3. When the timer goes off, get up and stretch. Get a glass of water. Splash water on face. Whatever. Get out of your chair for at least 5 minutes.
4. It's ok to check email or text messages, but ONLY for 5 minutes. If you have to set a timer to make sure you don't get distracted, do that.
5. Take 5 minutes and read what you wrote in those 45 minutes. You can do minor editing here-but ONLY for 5 minutes.
6. Set timer and do it all over again. And again. And again.
8. It's ok to send a quick tweet in your 5 minutes instead of checking email.
9. If you need to research something, make a note of the page # and just what you need (ex: pg 12-how do they answer the phone?) and keep going...don't stop to look it up. It's MUCH easier to do all those little research bits at once when you aren't writing.
10. After 4 sets of the 45 minutes, take 45mins to an hour and go for a walk, eat lunch (or any meal you might've skipped), do anything else except watch tv, check email, edit, get on facebook or twitter....the point is to keep your subconscious working on the next several scenes you're going to write.
11. Go through steps 1-10 again. Then, if you're still able and can, do them again. Remember to eat for energy. Fruits are great. Okay, so is chocolate. :)
I've written 65K words in 7 days doing this. 15K in one 24 hour period, but I don't recommend this unless you're up to it as it can be DRAINING. Some additional warnings: let your family/roommates know you're doing this. You will snap if someone interrupts your 45 min sessions and breaks your concentration. Turn the ringers off your phones. Lock yourself where you aren't tempted to even think about turning on the tv, "just to catch the news headlines." If you can totally turn off your internet and not check email, twitter, facebook, even better. (I can't-I just can't make myself). Let people encourage you. Tell them what you're doing. I send tweets (ok, it feeds into my facebook too when I'm doing it via my stupid-phone) of my word count goal percentage met every couple of hours.
Most importantly, reward yourself when you're done. If you hit your goal, woohoo-chocolate is in order! If you didn't, you still made progress! If you totally failed...well, hmm....try again later?
Pam again. What Robin didn't tell you is that her manuscripts are squeaky clean when she gets to the end of this process. Obviously, this isn't the way to write day after day, week after week, but if you're on a tight deadline, it gets the job done.
Or if you work a day job and find your creativity drained at the end of the day, or your day starts too early to get in the groove for writing, maybe carving out a few days to do a marathon would get a major chunk of the story out of your head and into the computer. Then you can concentrate on cleaning it up.
Another excellent Seekerville article is Cheryl Wyatt's Productivity. How to get the editor off your Shoulder to spit out the first draft. She gives some great pointers, and shows how getting up close and intimite with your story ramps up the word count the longer you stay imbedded with it.
So, there you have it. Robin's (and Cheryl's!) tips for churning out a lot of words quickly.And, if you want to see the final product of one of Robin's marathon writing sessions, throw your name in the hat with a comment for a chance to win a copy of Robin's latest release from B&H, Injustice for All, print or ebook, your choice.
Oh, and I just had an aha moment. Injustice for All is the 1st book in Robin's Justice SEEKERS series. Highly appropriate, wouldn't you say?

Welcome Robin! Whew! I just realized I'd been holding my breath as I read through those 10 steps, LOL. I really do want to give this marathon writing a try (although I'm not really sure I could go totally without e-mail/Facebook, etc.). But it's worth a try! Thanks for sharing (and I'm going to check out Cheryl's article too). ~ Blessings from Georgia, Patti Jo

This was really great- especially number 7!!
You know, I had't heard that about the 45 mintues (which I'm sure is much less with our internet saturated culture) but it makes a lot of sense.
Also liked the point of make sure everybody KNOWS you're doing this or you'll snap. I've learned that I just can't expect complete alone time if no one knwos I'm working. Not many of us have that writer's cottage in the backyard, so this is good to remember.
Very cool post!

Now I feel guilty because I was maligning my aging laptop for not keeping up with the new upstarts since I couldn't download that character synopsis link. LOL. I'll be eating humble pie all day!!!!
So, I went over to Robin's website and took a gander and I love it! I can see how helpful that's going to be.
Love all your points, Robin, and thanks for sharing. I don't have to worry about #7 because I'm not on facebook -- see I'm already ahead of the game! :-)
My dog is especially thrilled with #10. He was getting worried as I read the points out loud. 5 min breaks? What kind of walk would that be?! But he did a happy dance at the 45-60 min break after a few sets. Walking always gets my creative juices flowing so that's what I will do for that break period.
I'mr eally excited about this! Thanks so much for sharing!

Robin, Wow--that sounds like an amazing journey doing a marathon. What I like about it is that you keep 'in' the story. And that's a great tip about the 42 minutes--I'll remember that.
Congrats on your method.
I might try a mini-marathon on a Saturday when I have 8 hours or so to write. :)
Thanks for the post and helpful tips.

I've found that I don't know my characters until I've hung out with them for 50k words, no matter how much dating we do before hand. I can imagine their reactions and I can let them monopolize my #1k1hr with what they say and do, but it isn't until things get ugly that they admit their real feelings.
It sounds like your first draft is pretty clean, Robin. Do you feel it is, with minor tweaks and polishing, or is the bigger part of your writing going deeper from the bones of this marathon writing?

Thanks for the great tips, Robin! I especially like #9, about making a note when something needs to be researched. I find myself following rabbit trails and lose track of where I am in my WIP.
I'm not sure I'm up for a marathon - although if there was a deadline looming, it would certainly be necessary!
- February 20, 2012 at 9:02 AM
- Jeanne T said...
Robin . . . wow! I'm so glad you shared how you do writing marathons. :) I hope to give it a try when I begin another wip. Did (Do) you find you can do this with young children at home? My biggest struggle is finding more than an hour a day to write. When I do write for a longer period of time though, I'm going to try this.
Thanks so much for sharing your method!

Hey, Seekerville!
I really hope you find the tips helpful. I've had to write a book in a week because life interrupted when I was on deadline. That book? My editor only had MINOR revisions after it was turned in.
After I heard about the 42 minutes (because my hubby makes me watch medical documentaries as well as others), I realized I was trying to force myself to do something impossible by sitting there for hours on end, and then wondering why my train of thought would disappear!
Pam had the annoying experience of sitting in a hotel room with BOTH me and Cheryl while we were on writing marathons....so pass her some more coffee!

Jeanne T....my youngest is now 9 and my middle daughter is 12, so they're both in school now. But my 21 year old daughter and my two grandsons live here...one is 19 months and the other grandson is 8 months old....what works for me in my house right now, when the boys are here, is I choose to sleep during the day if I have to do a writing marathon--I can just shut my door and let hubby take care of our kids, the house, whatever needs to be, then I start my writing marathon after the little ones are in bed. It might work best for you on a weekend to try on a Saturday/Sunday. This is why it's important to have your spouse/roommate on board with what you're doing.
I have a friend who can't do this at home, as much as she tries, but she CAN do it by going to a hotel for a weekend. She disappeared into a cheap hotel on a Friday afternoon with PB&J sandwiches, chips, and water...then emerged on Sunday afernoon with almost 35K done in two days by following my suggestions.

That link has been giving us fits.
It seems that it only works from each person's computer. Robin had to send it to me a second time before I could access it.
But, it really is worth seeing!
Maybe throughout the day, a computer savvy person can help us figure out how we can all access it.
I'm working on it!

Abbi, isn't it? So glad you stopped by!
CatMom, I've been picking Robin's brain and am planning to do this too. But I've got to be sure of the basics of the story and "clear the decks" to do it.

Welcome Carol.
Thanks for the character sheet. And (TINA) thanks for the info on how to access it.
Great tips this morning, especially #9. I can research one itty bitty thing for hours.
All my kids are school age, but when they're home, I use earphones and close my door. They know not to disturb me unless someone is dead, dying, or the house is on fire. (With my kids you have to define, emergency.)
Now I need to work on no emails, texting and staying off facebook. :)
Pass the coffee, Helen.
And Ruthy, thanks for the cinnamon rolls.

- Pam Hillman said...
Tina, those resources on Robin's site are great too. I have them too, but I like the one Robin sent in the link. It's more like Pinterest or something. You just paste all kinds of stuff in the document that pertains to your character.
Robin, can you tell Seekerville what program you use for that? And in the meantime, I'll be working on unveiling this mysterious, wonderful page! lol
- February 20, 2012 at 9:39 AM
- Pam Hillman said...
Ruthy, thanks for the cinnamon crunch muffins. Yum!!!
Jackie, as Tina said, we're doing a marathon in Seekerville in March! Whoo-hoo! I SO need to get organized for this.
Speedbo is the entire month of March, but I thought for some of us, a big CHUNK of time (in days) might yield better results vs. smaller chunks of time every day during the month of March. Not that we shouldn't work each day as well. :)
I plan to take off a few days to try the "Speedbo-on-Steriods" approach. lol

Great post, Robin. I'm very familiar with what you were saying.
However, I'm not sure I agree about the 45 mins. I love the #1k1hr on Twitter and Facebook, although Twitter is in real time and Facebook needs to be refreshed which is a nuisance and breaks my concentration. Sometimes, it takes me 5-10 mins to get my thoughts in order and then when that STOP flashes on my screen from Twitter, I'm surprised the time has flown.
My record day so far is 8K so I have quite aways to catch up to your speedy fingers.
Pam, thanks for sharing Robin. :)

- Pam Hillman said...
Robin, I wouldn't say that experience was annoying.
Enlightening is more like it.
I've never attempted to write with other writers around, and it took me a while to tune out Robin's little clacking keys.
Btw, Cheryl's keys didn't do that little clickety-clack thing, Robin. Just so you know...
But after a while I was able to get some words down. And since they were both under IMPENDING deadlines, they HAD to get some writing done.
Starbucks loved us! I think we each had about 3 white chocolate mochas!

Robin, welcome!! And thank you for this wonderful method. It sounds perfect for me. I'll definitely give it a try! I've found I work well with a timer ticking. I don't know what it is--the white noise or the fact I know the end is in sight. :) But it keeps me going.
By the way, I love your new cover! And the title.
- February 20, 2012 at 9:56 AM

Missy, the timer ticking actually annoyed me when I first used it, but I know I can train myself to use it as a motivational tool instead of the reverse.

- Janet Dean said...
Welcome to Seekerville, Robin! Thanks for the practical tips on writing fast. I didn't realize we could only concentrate optimally for 45 minutes. I'm sure getting up and moving around for five minutes is way healthier than sitting for hours. Once I'm caught up in the story I tend to sit too long, which is not good for us. I've got to remember the timer is our friend.
- February 20, 2012 at 10:02 AM

Grabbing a cup of Helen's coffee and Ruthy's cinnamon crunch muffins (yes, all of them!) and headed to work.
I'll stop by in an hour or so.
Have fun chatting!

Robin, thanks for sharing how this works. I have little kids at home, but a few days a week my husband works from home in the afternoons. And on those days I head out to our library and shut myself in the conference room. Next time I get to go, Wednesday maybe???, I'm going to try this.
Can't wait!

Robin, thanks so much for the ideas. Thankfully, my husband is on board with me writing. We're figuring out how to make it work on the weekends with busy schedules and kid needs. :) So appreciate you!

I use ONENOTE to keep everything. I use tabs as "dividers"...characters, setting, research, weather, etc. Then pages under those dividers with all the info. It's especially helpful when writing a sequel in that all your prelim stuff is saved
- February 20, 2012 at 10:16 AM
- Robin Caroll said...
What Pam hears on my keyboard is that while I'm on a laptop, my carpal tunnel gets so bad when marathon writing that I have to bring my ergo keyboard to use. It is loud, but kind of comforting to me....kinda like the typewriters of old. :) And Cheryl was using her regular laptop keyboard, so it was quiet
- February 20, 2012 at 10:18 AM
- Robin Caroll said...
Debra....Since I have let the idea settle in my subconscious for a while, it's usually pretty clean. I have at least two people read behind me (thanks to CARA PUTMAN and my sister-in-law on this last one-they read it in a day for me)to catch my uh-ohs....other than that, it's pretty clean

- Julie Lessman said...
WELCOME TO SEEKERVILLE, ROBIN, and WOW, what an incredible approach to writing!! Talk about a true professional!! A couple of questions, if you will:
1.) How many books do you write in a year?
2.) Do you take this approach on all of them or just prior to tight deadline?
3.) Do you enjoy it when you write like this?
I'm anxious to get my mitts on that character sheet you sent Pammy because it sounds WONDERFUL!!
Pammy and Robin, GREAT blog today!!
- February 20, 2012 at 10:34 AM
- Stephanie Queen Ludwig said...
This approach to writing sounds like something I could try. I usually spend several evenings a week writing, which is really only in 2-hour blocks. However, one weekend, when my husband was out of town and I had the apartment to myself, I found myself writing 6,000 words in one day. Going back through in edits, it's still some of the cleanest and strongest writing in the story.
I will definitely have to try it again, using these tips. Thanks!

Oh, I forgot to say that this is also great timing for those RWA members who are part of the Faith, Hope and Love group because we're doing BIAW all this week.
Thank you, Missy, for taking charge of the BIAW this time around. I really appreciate the extra time you're putting in on our behalf.
- February 20, 2012 at 10:52 AM
- Myra Johnson said...
Great tips, Robin & Pam!
Actually, the 45-minute thing sounds pretty close to the way my writing usually times out. I don't have a timer or watch the clock, but when my brain snags, as it tends to do several times during my normal 4-6 hours of writing in the afternoon, I do a VERY quick e-mail check, pop in at Seekerville, go fix myself a cup of tea, talk to the dogs, or whatever.
That tiny break is usually just enough time for my subconscious to work out whatever it needed to so I can continue writing.

To answer Julie:
1.) How many books do you write in a year? Under contract? As many as I have to. LOL I can write 4 90K novels a year
2.) Do you take this approach on all of them or just prior to tight deadline? Usually a mix of both. :) If I'm not on tight deadline but need to push through something, I'll do a weekend writing marathon.
3.) Do you enjoy it when you write like this? The sense of accomplishment is AMAZING! At the end, I'm exhausted, but I thank God that He allows me to do this...just writing stories that honor Him is truly a blessing
- February 20, 2012 at 11:18 AM
- Connie Queen said...
This sounds like a wonderful way to write a book. I'm a slow writer and get distracted easy. Lately, I set my timer for 20 minutes, followed by 10-15 minute break and then write again. I'm hoping as I get better, I can go for longer periods.
Whenever I complete this ms, I may try a book in a week for the next one. Sounds like fun.

Great info, Robin. Thanks for sharing your robo-writing technique. Love it! Especially the 42-45 minute tip!
What amazes me is that you write clean when you write fast. That's impressive!
Thanks, Pam, for inviting Robin to be with us today.
Love the title of her Seeker book! It's on my to-be-read list!
- February 20, 2012 at 11:46 AM
- Pam Hillman said...
I really hope some of us set aside a few days to try this method soon. If you do, I'd like to know how it works for you.
I know that's my plan. I'm thinking of holing up in the church evangelist's quarters for 3 days. Dh will think I'm CRAZY.
I'll even have to put DO NOT DISTURB on the doors to the apartment of my mother-in-law and grandmother will be knocking, bringing me food and asking if everything's all right.
- February 20, 2012 at 11:49 AM
- Virginia said...
Like Pam said, some people will realy think 'holing up' is crazy. But for us with busy, busy lives this kind of talk is really liberating. I don't think I could do a weekend or even a whole daylight day (there's NO WAY my husband would watch the kids while I typed, hahaha!).
BUT this all comes back to the idea of gettign it done, sitting in the chair and writing through the hard parts, the broedom, the wrist aches, the chocolate cravings.
I keep thinking about my first book and how it took me 5 years to finish it. Not really because I was learning (it was as bad at the end as it was in the beginning) but because I didn't understand the idea of pacing and word counts and daily goals. Without those ideas you could write and re-write a book for decades.
Or maybe I just didn't have Seekerville!!!

Whoo-hoo, I did it!
The link Robin sent me is something to do with Windows live, so it only works on the computer it is opened on. I'm not sure how to explain this phenomenom further, so won't try to.
Anyway, I played around with it, managed to copy the shortcut, and now I think we've got it, by-jove!
Robin's Amazing Character Notes
And, remember, this is just the first page of one of her major characters. And she does all this in OneNote.
I downloaded the trial for OneNote, but haven't had time to learn how it works. It sounds like an awesome way to keep up with things.

- Pam Hillman said...
Virginia, it's amazing how a contract, a book, and a royalty check (not that I've seen one of THOSE yet! lol) can show the fam that this really is a job, and that some uninterrupted time will yield better results.
I overheard dh telling a preacher friend all about my trip to Dallas (where our friend and his wife live) and my writing and my work with ACFW.
He's finally realizing that I'm not just sitting at the computer playing while the house goes to wrack-and-ruin around me! lol

Hey Robin! Great tips!
A few weeks ago Cheryl and Camy were doing a 30K weekend. She said something like "Just ask Camy - the longer it takes me to write a book the worse it is". I emailed with her about that and I think I'm the same way. I need to start realizing that and plan accordingly.
That said, God has used the additional time it's taken to fix a couple of plot holes sometimes - things that wouldn't have been fixed if I'd finished in a week or two but...
I'm pondering how to make this work in my favor for Speedbo - especially since I need to finish the rough draft of my other MS first - had planned to get it done this month but being sidelined for 2 weeks may have ruined that plan :/. We'll see how it goes.
Grandma's here! BBL!

Robin - Wow, four 90K novels in one year, wow. I really liked #10 taking a walk sounds so refreshing. There have been at least two years when I missed spring entirely, had no clue it was out there.

Thanks for stopping by to chat and share with us. I love the idea of a character sheet. This has to be a great tool to writing.

Welcome Robin,
And can I just say whew.

Thanks for a look into your writing world.

Robin, thanks for such a timely post. I've got a full manuscript to revise during this week. I'll definitely have to try your method. Especially, since my boys are at my mom's house for the week. Do you find this method works equally well for periods of revising?
Thanks for sharing your process, and I would love to be entered for a copy of your book.
- February 20, 2012 at 3:44 PM
- Pam Hillman said...
Tina, I'm sure Robin, Cheryl, and other authors who tend to write like this are exhausted when they're done, but to be able to just get it all down in such a short time period seems miraculous.
I wonder how many hours these ladies are actually putting in to get those 50, 65 and 90k words vs. someone who writes 1K a day for 60 days, etc.
I'm such a goal-oriented person, and I work better if I'm totally focused on something for long periods of time. I think this would work for me.
Or, maybe, I'm just dreaming, and I would hate it! lol
Now, Robin, this thought occurs to me... In a perfect world, would you choose to write your books in a whirlwind, or would you prefer to write them 1-2K words a day over a 3 month stretch?
Honestly, I can see pros and cons of both systems. One is being so immersed in the story that you sense and feel everything, and the other gives you more time to think and plot and plan your next move.
- February 20, 2012 at 4:18 PM
- Robin Caroll said...
Actually, I like both ways. But I want to get the passion I feel for the story onto the page, so to speak, and if I have to draw everything out for 3 months, then I'm afraid the passion would be lost. That's just how I am!
- February 20, 2012 at 4:23 PM

Hi Robin, What a great tip to get us going for our March Speedbo. Ii'm so in agreement with getting everyone on board in the family. It helps tremendously.
The times I've done this, I do find I have less to clean up because I am really in the story and in the characters. I love how you recommend the five minute breaks. Those are critical.
Thanks again for sharing with us here in Seekerville.
For those of you who need a little pick-me-up this late in the day, I have baskets of tortilla strips and guacamole. Kettle chips and salsa. And i made some homemade onion dip and clam dip. There are pita chips too with some roasted red pepper hummus.

Now...to talk my husband into a getaway without him!
- February 20, 2012 at 8:02 PM
- Pam Hillman said...
Sherrinda, I'm with you!
You know, this sounds exciting and frightening at the same time.
Once I get over the thought of being able to write uninterrupted for several days at a time, the next thought is whether I could actually write THROUGH the story???

I'm at my office (before work hours) and I can't open the Character Sheet. Not sure if it's because there are a lot of 'bells & whistles" on our company computer or not. I will definitely try opening it at home tonight. I always appreciate the helpful tips that are freely given here at Seekerville.

Oh I like this - 45 minutes uninterrupted!
I've done this in the past with 30 minutes - but it has been so long since I've actually written anything I think I'll give it a try. Maybe not all day - but at least every day.
Thanks for the advice!

The Western Warriors had a strong showing at the 2012 Herm Wilkinson Classic at Howell High School on Decmeber 8th. The team performance was lead by Austin Murrays 2nd place showing in the 130lb weight class followed by fellow junior Anthony Chudlers 3rd place finish in the 135 class.
Heavy weight Junior Dylan Schumate finished 4th in a highly competetive weight class as well.
Freshman Nick Costanzo at 119lbs had a solid 6th place finish and went 2-1 for the day in his first varsity tournament.
Sophmore Paul Lozon also finished the tournament with a solid 6th place finish with a pin in his last match of the day in less than 30 seconds.

I know that nothing I can say will dissuade the true Twilight fans among you from seeing the fourth in the movie franchise, Breaking Dawn — Part 1. But — and I'm speaking as a fan of the last film, Eclipse, which had good acting and a strong storyline — here is my heartfelt recommendation for this one: Buy your tickets. Go have dinner, maybe do some holiday shopping. Creep into the theater for the last half-hour, and you'll leave satisfied.
If you insist on seeing the entire, seemingly never-ending 117 minutes, though, you're going to spend at least 87 of those minutes bored out of your mind.
Quick plot summary to this point in the saga: Mortal teen Bella (Kristen Stewart) falls in love with immortal vampire Edward (Robert Pattinson). Then she wavers, feeling fondly toward her werewolf buddy Jacob (Taylor Lautner, who once again raises every scene he's in by several levels of believability and emotional weight). She finally decides on Edward. No consummation of either relationship, though.
Cut to Breaking Dawn: Bella and Edward marry. On the honeymoon, wild sex ensues; in the world of writer Stephenie Meyer, on whose novels the saga is based, premarital sex is a big no-no, but married vampire sex is peachy-keen. We know it's wild because the bed and bedclothes are shredded come morning; the actual sex scene is ultra-mild.
Then, almost instantly, Bella's pregnant. And the baby, perhaps a week along, is moving around. Uh-oh. What follows is the most horrific pregnancy ever put on film. Poor Bella loses her glow to a starving-fashion-model look that's not at all fetching. As he frets, Edward loses his sparkle. Even Jacob's tan starts to look a little wan.
Finally, finally, things get interesting when Jacob's wolf-pack decides Bella's baby-vampire-thingy must die. Jacob must decide whether to protect Bella or stay with his home-wolves. Edward frets, some more, about whether to turn Bella into a vampire. Will having Thingy kill her? Will it come out with fangs? Those questions make the ending thrilling and tense.
It actually made me look forward to Part 2, set for November 2012 release. If the movie follows the book, Thingy becomes even more attention-grabbing as it grows up. Maybe that'll keep our minds off its entirely sparkle-free parents. Uncle Jake, though, we want to see again.
C+ Starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner. Directed by Bill Condon. PG-13 (for disturbing images, violence, sexuality/partial nudity and some thematic elements). 117 mins. In wide release.

You can totally eat your way out of depression. Beef suet. Works very well.
Sure, but you can't do well while you are not eating enough. You will get into a better university once your results are better, which means getting over the whole anorexia thing and having a long period stress-free and restoring your health and fitness - like taking up parkour. There is no law that says you can to go to university when you are 18 and not 19. I went at 19. I think it might have been an advantage overall.I need to do well at school so I can get into a good university. Otherwise I have no idea what I'm going to do next year.
What are you going to do next year? Well, you are going to need a good month's rest right away, once you are eating properly again. You will need a good long time away from school stuff. You can read some proper novels for fun. You can start a blog about yourself and how you beat anorexia. You can take up an outdoor exercise or a martial art. You'll enjoy that once you are feeling stronger. It is already June, so it is only six months until the school year begins again and you can have another go. You will have the perfect medical excuse. It is a medical problem that you have. You will need time to recover.
I can promise you I have had more stressful things happen to me in the last year than you have, but you don't see me cutting myself. You don't ever want to do something like that.Thanks but no it's ok, I used to cut more and then I stopped for a while and now I only do it when I'm extremely stressed.
If they don't know what to do they will learn what to do very quickly. Your parents already know, anyway. It is just a question of you and them getting on the same page so they can help you better. Once people have a plan to work on then it isn't stressful any more, it is a great relief.They're not worried about me because they think I'm happy and getting good grades. If I tell them anything I'm sure they won't know what to do and they'll either do something unhelpful or they'll just worry and I don't want to add more stress to their lives.
Go eat something, anyway. You need to to start feeling better.

I will be flying to LA from Sydney on the 17th of November. I'm looking at traveling for several weeks or months, doing a road trip across America. After that I will likely travel to Mexico or Cuba.
The total budget I have will be maximum $5,000 US and I will need to complete the journey within my 3 month tourist visa. I was thinking about staying in hostels in the major cities, but then camping and Boondocking (sleeping in a van) along the way to save money.
Below is the route I'm thinking…

FAO Releases Report on 'Climate-Smart' Agriculture
28 October 2010: The Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO) released a report titled "Climate-Smart Agriculture: Policies, Practices and Financing for Food Security, Adaptation and Mitigation."
It underscores that agriculture in developing countries must undergo a significant transformation to meet the challenges of food security and climate change. It describes climate-smart agriculture as an approach that sustainably increases productivity, resilience, reduces/removes greenhouse gases (GHGs), and enhances achievement of national food security and development goals. The report stresses that: effective climate-smart practices exist and could be implemented; adopting an ecosystem approach and ensuring intersectoral cooperation is crucial for climate change response; and investment is required to fill knowledge gaps, develop technologies and methodologies, and conserve and produce suitable varieties and breeds of crops.
On institutional and policy options, the report underscores the need for: institutional and financial support for smallholders to transition to climate-smart agriculture; strengthened institutional capacity to improve dissemination of information and coordination of farmers; and greater consistency among agriculture, food security and climate change policy-making at all levels. On financing, the report notes that current and projected available financing are insignificant to meet the climate change and food security challenges. It highlights the need for innovative options to meet investment requirements of the agriculture sector through synergistically combining financing from public and private sources, and the need for financing mechanisms to take sector-specific considerations into account.
The report was prepared as technical input for the Hague Conference on Agriculture, Food Security and Climate Change, scheduled to take place from 31 October-5 November 2010, in The Hague, the Netherlands.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
Brief Summary
The Lanceolate Liver Fluke (Dicrocoelium dendriticum) is a trematode flatworm that sometimes infects humans, causing dicrocoeliasis. It has a complex life cycle, involving two intermediate hosts in addition to the definitive host. Ruminant mammals are the usual definitive hosts for Dicrocoelium dendriticum, although other herbivorous mammals, carnivores, and humans can alse serve as definitive hosts.
Embryonated eggs are shed in feces. The eggs are ingested by a snail. Many snail species may serve as the first intermediate host, including Zebrina spp. and Cionella spp. When the miracidia hatch, they migrate through the gut wall and settle into the adjacent vascular connective tissue, where they become mother sporocysts. The sporocysts migrate to the digestive gland, where they give rise to several daughter sporocysts. Inside each daughter sporocyst, cercariae are produced. The cercariae migrate to the respiration chamber, where they are shed from the snail in a slime ball. After a slime ball is ingested by an ant, the cercariae become free in the intestine and migrate to the hemocoel, where they become metacercariae. A variety of ant species may serve as the second intermediate host, especially members of the genus Formica. After an ant is eaten by the definitive host, the metacercariae excyst (emerge from the cyst) in the small intestine. The worms migrate to the bile duct, where they mature into adults. Humans can serve as definitive hosts after accidentally ingesting infected ants.
Dicrocoelium dendriticum is known from Europe, northern Asia, America, and northern Africa.

What does patriotism mean to Clarksville?
There are a plethora of ways to be patriotic. As we make our way across the US we have to rely on each town we encounter to define what it is that makes them patriotic. Is it their love of their countrymen, or their support for the military, or even their passion for the ideals that we were founded on as a nation?
Here in Clarksville, Tennessee we take the time to investigate through discussion, what it is that makes this town's patriotism worthy of the map.
Keep on Exploring.

Hitler thought the Soviet Union had a pitiful army and could be easily defeated. Hitler planned on an attack in the spring of 1941 but was delayed because of problems in the Balkans. Hitler invaded the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941 and thought they could be defeated before the brutal winter. An early winter and fierce Soviet resistance halted German advance and the Germans had no winter uniforms. The Germans had been stopped for the first time in the war.
List events leading to U.S entry into the war
On December 7, 1941 Japanese aircraft attacked the US naval base at Pearl Harbor in the Hawaiian Islands. Japanese units launched additional assaults on the Philippines and began advancing toward Malaya. The JApanese thought the American people had been made soft by material indulgence. THe Japanese were wrong and the attack on Pearl Harbor unified Americans opinion about becoming involved in the war and the US entered the war.

Anschluss 1938, Hitler forced Austria to put Austrian Nazi in charge of the government
Hitler annexed Austria to Germany March 13, 1938
Hitler wanted the destruction of Czechoslovakia September 15 1938
In Munich British, French, German, and Italian representatives didn't object to Hitler's plans, but reached an agreement that met virtually all of Hitler's demands September 15, 1938
Germany and the Soviet Union signed the Soviet Nonaggression Pact on August 23 1939. In the pact, the two nations promised not to attack each other. Hitler breaks his promise and attacks Poland

Dear All,
The requirement is to use the rounding value in material master for MRP run only.But for me
System is rounding the value while creating PO. I have give the value 2.5 L in PR but it is showing the round value in PO, PO should not round off the value when a PR for the same material is converted to PO.
With Regards,
The rounding value is used in the planning run if no rounding profile has been specified in the material master record. If you maintain the rounding value in Material master the system rounds up the procurement quantity.
Use rounding profile in your case.
Can you explian fully how to maintaing Rounding Profile.
With Regards,

yes and no
I deer hunt every year. This year we shot a mature doe. When we were field dressing her, I noticed a layer of fat inside the body cavity I'm not used to seeing.
It got me thinking. When living primal should we adjust our eating and exercise habits to a season routine instead of a daily routine.
What are your thoughts?
yes and no
I think it just sort of happens naturally- at least it did for me. I noticed towards the winter months I tend towards a more carnivore-based diet, and veggies consist mainly of onions, carrots, sweet potatoes, winter squashes, and sometimes broccoli/cauliflower. Fruits tend to be pretty minimal. I try to exercise regularly but I'm certainly not doing as much "moving slowly" as I would in the summer.
I don't think our seasonal adaptations are as drastic as they used to be, but there are subtle differences.
I think you are on to something. I hunt too and depending on the kills for the season we usually start the year off with mostly venison. then towards the end of summer switch back to beef . I prefer beef but hard to go buy it when you have 3 deer in the deep freeze, paid for
can force you into doing things you should be doing anyway. Lessons
come from adversity. Anything can happen to anyone... You can find a
new lease on life - more meaning than you thought possible in simple
things... Let go. Live in the moment. Go forward". Christopher Reeve
If you go by the 100 mile thing, where you only buy local food, produced within 100 miles of home (or thereabouts) the seasonal eating will come naturally.

Dec 8, 1937 - July 19, 2014
Susan Brown Wilson passed away July 19, 2014, in Fairbanks after being diagnosed with cancer. She was born in Medford, Oregon on Dec. 8, 1937. She is survived by her four children, Jack, Susana, Scott, and David. She is also survived by her 14-year partner, George H. Wilson. Wilson spent most of her working life in the gambling industry and held many related positions in clubs throughout Nevada. Susan was a resident of the Lake Tahoe/Carson and Gardnerville areas in the 60's and 70's, where she was employed by Harvey's Wagon Wheel, Barneys, and South Shore nugget. Her son David Milligan is employed by Harrah's Lake Tahoe. She is survived by her former spouse, Cy Milligan. She was born and raised in Medford, Oregon, where she will be laid to rest. Wilson was preceded in death by her sister, Sally, her mother, Dorothy Gastanozok and three husbands. She was an accomplished horsewoman and received many awards for her paintings of animals. Per her request, there are no services to take at any location. Her partner wrote, "Beloved daughter, sister, mother, and wife, twice my wife, the love of my life, my soul mate forever, my nemesis so clever, animal advocate and a friend to all, her last request was oh so small: "Forever with grandma my ashes shall lie, while I'm in the winds on high, crisscrossing the endless expanse of sky. So, do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not here, I did not die. I ride away on my horse with no name, away from any form of pain, shame or blame."

A 4-year-old girl is in a Baltimore hospital after police said she nearly drowned in Carroll County over the weekend.
Officers were called to a home in the 1800 block of Blacksmith Drive in Marriottsville around 6:30 p.m. Sunday. People at the home told police they found the girl face-down in a pool.
Medics were able to revive the unresponsive girl after she was pulled from the pool. She was then flown to Johns Hopkins Hospital, where she was listed in stable condition Sunday night.
It's unclear so far if anyone was watching the child at the time of the incident or how long she was in the pool before she was found.

Working women have more influence at home
By Elizabeth Lock
When women who are married work, they wield more decision-making power over large household expenses — like buying a car, large appliance or furniture — according to a University of Colorado Boulder study.
If a married woman has worked in the past 12 months, the likelihood of her involvement in decisions over major household purchases with her husband increases by about 5 percentage points, the study found. Also, the likelihood that her husband is the sole decision maker on big buys for the home drops by about 5 percentage points.
"I think it's so important because employment is the way that most women, by and large, are going to be able to improve their own situation," said study author Francisca Antman about the finding.
Anytime we are making it easier for women to participate in employment activities, just as men do, we can also expect them to actually have greater influence within their households."
"Bringing more economic resources to the household by women can actually improve the weight that's given to their preferences within the household," said Antman.
Most previous studies in the field have explored what happens when transfers of monetary resources are made to household members from outside parties such as governmental bodies, according to Antman. "But we want to know what happens when women are actually empowering themselves through employment," she said.
The Mexican Family Life Survey, used for the study, interviewed participating couples once in 2002 and again between 2005 and 2007. The survey results include 9,551 household observations.
The Mexican Family Life Survey is one of the first of its kind to ask about bargaining power — who actually makes household decisions — as opposed to simply exploring the differences between what females and males tend to do with allocated resources.
It also provides a valuable set of data because families were revisited and provided information on their fluctuating employment and unemployment circumstances. Responses over time thereby yielded insight into changes in decision-making power due to employment and despite any unobservable factors, such as a high regard for egalitarianism or respect for women.
Participating individuals self-identified as "head of household" or "spouse." Virtually all of the participating households — 97 percent — were headed by men, according to the respondents.
About 67 percent of the households reported that the spouse — the female — was involved in decisions regarding large expenditures. About 31 percent reported that heads of households alone made the decisions.
In addition to answering questions about household roles, bargaining power and employment status, couples stated their education levels, ages and household sizes in the survey.
"Anytime we are making it easier for women to participate in employment activities, just as men do, we can also expect them to actually have greater influence within their households," said Antman. "And so it's not just a question of increasing their income, but actually increasing their influence over their own lives."
