- Upload
vimeography.zipto the
- Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
- How can I show hidden Vimeo videos?
If you would like to show videos that are hidden from Vimeo, you will need Vimeography Pro.
The way that it works is you mark your videos as hidden from Vimeo and then place them in a Public album. You then use that album URL as the source for your video gallery. The videos won't appear anywhere on Vimeo, but will still be accessible by the Vimeography WordPress plugin.
- Help! My video gallery doesn't look right!
First of all, don't worry! I promise you that we can get it looking right. This can be caused by a multitude of things, so try the following (in the order of appearance):
- Try surrounding your Vimeography shortcode in
- Make sure that your WordPress theme is not including multiple versions of jQuery and is using the latest version.
- Make sure that your theme is calling the
wp_footer()function so that all of the Vimeography stylesheets are printed.
- Try disabling other plugins that are used for photo galleries, minifying scripts, widgets, or otherwise alter your site's appearance, one by one, and really determining if you need it.
- I'm getting an error: This Vimeography gallery does not have a theme assigned to it.
Make sure that you have the latest version of the Vimeography theme plugin that you are using installed and that it is activated. Then, go to the gallery editor and select that theme under the Appearance tab. If you're still having problems, reach out on the Vimeography contact page.
- I'm getting an error: Vimeography error: the plugin did not retrieve data from the Vimeo API! connect() timed out!
This usually means that Vimeo is having some network issues. Follow @Vimeo on twitter for updates. If Vimeo is not reporting any issues, you'll need to contact your host and ask why you are unable to connect to Vimeo's IP address. It may be that your host has blocked server access via a firewall.
- I'm having trouble installing a video gallery theme.
Vimeography themes are treated as WordPress plugins. Make sure you're installing the Vimeography theme on the "Plugins" page in your WordPress dashboard.
- How do I get the latest updates for my video gallery themes?
If you purchased your video gallery theme at vimeography.com, you should have received an email receipt containing an license key for your theme. Enter that license code on the "Manage Licenses" page of the Vimeography plugin. Once done, you will be subscribed to theme updates which will automatically be delivered to your WordPress installation, just like any other plugin.
- Why don't you support YouTub/MetaHall/Flacker/PreschoolHumor?
Like many other video professionals, I believe that Vimeo is a beautiful website complete with clean design, a supportive community, a wonderful staff, and a straightforward API. This makes Vimeo a great choice for professional looking portfolios. Yes, there are other crummier sites that may also do the job, but that's like forcing down squid nuggets for dinner when you could be having baked scallops and a caprese appetizer. Vimeo only; enough said.
- How do I add my Vimeography video gallery to a post or page?
Easy! All you have to do is type
[vimeography id="#"], where
#is replaced by the ID number of your Vimeo video gallery.
- Where do I find the ID number of my Vimeography video gallery?
Each video gallery's ID number is located next to the video gallery's title in the first column on the edit galleries page.
- Can I override my Vimeography gallery settings in the shortcode?
Sure thing! You can define all of the properties found in the admin panel right in your shortcode as well. Try using one, any, or all of the following parameters:
[vimeography id="3″ theme="thumbs" featured="http://vimeo.com/28380190″ source="http://vimeo.com/channels/staffpicks" limit="60″ cache="3600″ width="600px"]
- Can I add the Vimeography video gallery to my theme's sidebar/footer/header etc.?
Yes, but you'll need some PHP knowledge to do it! Open the file you want to add the video gallery to, and type
<?php do_shortcode('[vimeography id="#"]'); ?>, where
#is replaced by the ID number of your gallery.
- Can I change the look of my Vimeography theme?
Heck yeah! Use the appearance editor to change your video gallery theme's style so that it matches your site perfectly.
- Can I override my Vimeography theme template with some custom code?
Sure, why not. Simply copy your video gallery theme's .mustache file(s) into a new folder located at
wp-content/themes/[my_wordpress_theme]/vimeography/[my_vimeography_theme]/partialsand hack away. Vimeography will load that template instead of the default one for your theme.
Great plugin, great support!
We have quite a number of videos on our site and Vimeography Pro has done a really nice job with helping us to organize them for our member's use. We had some initial issues with formatting due to problems caused by another plugin on our site and Dave did a great job of helping us to solve the problem with our site to get Vimeography working. Very satisfied with our overall experience with this plugin.
Great support. Really works.
E-mailed back within 24 hours with the correct fix to a small problem I had. I am running the Pro version. Works well and works on Mobile which was my #1 priority.
Great Experience!
When english is not your first language and also being far away, trying to get some technical support could turn into a fiction-drama movie. This was not the case, David was always ready to give a hand in order to fix the issues I had with my Vimeography!
It took only a couple of emails and screenshots to have the problem solve!
Great support!
Thanks David!
Fantastic Plugin
Just a quick review to confirm that the support and level of features within this plugin are second to none. I upgraded to the pro version and haven't looked back!
Very nice plugin. Excelent Support.
I've been using vimeography pro for many years and everything went perfect. Last days I had some trouble when upgrading the wp version and the plugin either (I'm not a wp expert). I had all support from developers with quick answers till it was solved. Strongly recommend them.
Great Plugin. Great Support.
We've been using Vimeography products for a couple of years now with great results. The one time I had an issue (purely my own WP ignorance), these folks were super responsive and fixed it for me fast.

Just a questions, are OHC engines better in every sense than a pushrod moter?
ive saw both, the OHC moters have a lot less to them it looks like but i dont know very much hehe?
Now we await the mechanical engineers and factory certified responses... :D
yes, and thats from a mechanical engineer... say kultuz what is the deal with you and my education, i keep finding small sarcastic remarks on the topic..?
hehe :D
i think your safer running higher rpm's on an OHC motor because they havent any pushrods and wont cause as much drag?? something like that.
Push rods were invented AFTER overhead cams, simpler set-up, repair costs lower. No contest.
This is a non-certified response :)
[ January 16, 2003: Message edited by: blockhead ]

pushrod motors are a lot more common for these sort of applications (hotrodding) so there are a lot more speed parts available for relatively cheaply... not too many OHC v8's out there, (are there any?) and not too many of us (speaking for the board in general) who want to be running 4- or 6-bangers. i think it's a matter of taste and availability more than technical superiority, especially since there are so few direct comparisons.
so... better, perhaps in a technical/mechanical sense. in a common-sense sense, i'm not so sure.
OHC engine can be spun faster with less valvefloat,they dont need as much spring pressure.They also give the builder more room for ports since you dont have pushrods in the way.A single overhead cam setup is good,but is limited because for the most part all the valve angles have to be the same,and canted valve heads are a little tricky.Dul overhead cams allow the valves to be placed across the bore the opposite way of most pushrod engines,which offers a better intake port design potential.Overhead cams lend themselves to variable cam timning setups,and dual overhead cams are the rwla way to make variable vavle timing work.I am not a big impor fan,but I think there is a lot to be had wit that Vtec stuff.On a pushrod V8,you can only gain a small amount by moving the entire cam a few degrees,but with dual cams{one for the intakes and one for the exhast}the potential is much greater since both lobes can be moved independently.Unfortatley,I am not a big EFI fan,and all the overhead cam stuff out there is centered around EFI stock applications,so it will be a while before I get my hands into one.
[quote]not too many OHC v8's out there, (are there any?)

one comes to mind, and I like it. have one in the family that i might stand to come into someday, would make a great go cart. the v8 in the lincoln ls; dohc 32 valve 240 ci (lol) 10.5:1 comp. on 91 octane w/ 252 horsies @6100rpm and 261 ft# torgue @ 4300 rpm. all aluminum. the way of the future is here.
and that is the response of a schnook
[ January 16, 2003: Message edited by: crazy larry ]

One problem I can think of.... If you wanna put a hotter cam in you need 2 of em...
[ January 16, 2003: Message edited by: stonedchihuahua ]

actually, you'd need 4 and "whats the problem?" its only money. and your talking about more power. damn boy, whats gotten into you. you dipping them doob's in formaldehyde?
well yeah 2 cams per head... anyhow... MONEY IS NOT CHEAP!!!! if you get what I mean
money not cheap....not unless you do this!!!!
its only money. if you can't spend it, what good is it for? Its not worth the effort you go through to get it if you can't spend it. thats my philosophy. Ford Modulars are stupendous in my opinion

New to Seattle area for CS driving. New CS, would appreciate any recommendations for a nice weekend drive as a means to begin the break in period.
New to Seattle area for CS driving. New CS, would appreciate any recommendations for a nice weekend drive as a means to begin the break in period.
Highway 410 through Enumclaw toward Chinook Pass. Follow the signs to the Howard Hansen (aka Mud Mountain) Dam. Stop and take a look - the Army Corps of Engineers is almost PROMISING flooding, if not breaching, this winter. So see it before its gone.
Take the twisty back roads back toward Enumclaw. This is where Enumclaw's own, Kasey Kahne, cut his teeth at the wheel. And, while I'm NOT a NASCAR fan (open wheel only) Kasey is a pretty cool dude.
Enjoy and catch a post drive burger at The Mint restaurant in downtown(?) Enumclaw.
Thank me later...
If you go to either of the Bmw motorcycle dealerships, Ride West, in the University distrcit, north of downtown or South Sound Bmw, in Fife, they carry a book describing in great detail, literally hundreds of twisty road trips in the Pacific NW. Can't remember the title off the top of my head, but it is easy to find at one of those two dealerships. It rates the trips for twistiness, road condition, and even how often the local boys in blue are seen, or not seen. It is a little spendy, about $50 to $60 , as I recall, but a great source of driving information.
Hope this helps.
Found the website for the book. "Destination Highways"
Written for bikers, but what the hey! There are also editions for Northern California, Southern California, and British Columbia.
This State has a lot of great drives. East of the mountains, try the Yakima River canyon road between Ellensburg and Yakima. It runs for about 30 miles along the Yakima River and is great.
Snohomish County around Hwy 2 from Monroe up to Stevens Pass. Lots of back roads in that area and not that far away.

Regular, Synthetic or Blend...What Kind of Oil Do I Need?
May 26th, 2016
At one time, there were only a couple of choices for motor oil. Today, that is no longer the case, and hasn't been for quite some time. Here's a quick breakdown of what you need to consider when it's time for an oil change:
- Viscosity: Viscosity is how thick your oil is, and how it retains its pour properties at various temperatures. In this respect, synthetic oil is far superior. Conventional oils will thicken in cold weather and thin out when very hot, while the viscosity of synthetic is much more uniform. Check your owner's manual -- many newer models require a thinner, lower-viscosity oil, which also helps the engine run more efficiently. Viscosity is expressed as a numerical value -- the lower the number, the thinner the oil. Many are designed to work a ...[more]

Preparing for Summer Holiday Travel
May 22nd, 2014
Before you hit the road this summer let us assist you in making yourself aware of a few important inspections and checks you can make to prepare yourself for those long, hot road trips. With a quick pre-trip vehicle check-up it is easy to determine how road-ready a vehicle is before experiencing problems on vacation or during travels. Conducting a vehicle inspection before leaving will help to avoid troublesome repairs and prevent potential safety hazards that result from a break down far from home. While some complications are not foreseeable, using the upmost caution and preparation will help to protect your vehicle and its occupants.
Always schedule a tune-up before major trips as even a minor appointment with a mechanic could reveal a potential issue you did not detect or notice from driving. Tu ...[more]

April: National Car Care Month
April 21st, 2014
April is National Car Care Month and there is no better time to break free from the chains of winter to start your journey to a dependable, road ready vehicle. Routine maintenance can seem overwhelming and with a never ending cycle of checks and replacements, sometimes it is hard to remember where one project ends and the next one begins. Knowledge is power and whether you are a mechanic or soccer mom every vehicle owner should have at least passing knowledge about their vehicle.
Allowing your vehicle to fall into disrepair during the winter months is nearly inevitable. Spending time working on a vehicle during an icy day is less likely than waking a hibernating bear and nearly as pleasant. Thus, when April is sprung upon us there is no better reason to go outside and enjoy the be ...[more]

Welcome aboard. I drove through Colorado once on my way to Los Angeles; spent the next few years thinking I should have stopped in Colorado and just stayed there.
The G19 is a solid weapon (I almost bought one but settled on a G30 instead), but I'm not sure 9mm would be an effective bear repellent unless you spotted it charging from a significant distance. I don't know how frequent bear encounters are in your area, and I'm certainly no expert at confronting them. However, I do know that most bear attacks are fast, furious, and very close range with little or no warning. God forbid you ever have to deal with one, but you may find yourself underneath it by the time you start shooting. If you jam the muzzle into its hide, a semi-auto will very likely go out of battery and be useless whereas a revolver will not. Just something to consider.

Phew! What a scarey couple of days! We've had no internet since saturday night, and it has been tough!
It was a sudden thing - the powerpack to our bt hub just went kaput! But we didn't know that, we thought it was our connection that had gone down.
Anyway, all better now, but we can't believe how many group messages have piled up in three days!
Better get reading....
I've been tagged by my twin in Spain, the super handsome Lancelot!
Welcome to the new edition of "2009 Get to now Your Pals"
Copy this diary entry, and paste it into your diary. Read then delete my answers. Then you can fill in your own! We can get to know our pals better! Have fun!!! Then send a rosette or a p-mail to 4 pals and as them to post it in their diary!
Here we GO!!!
1) What color is your collar?
I don't have a collar because I'm an indoor guy but if I did have one it should be green to bring out my eyes and match my "Cats In The Clover" bed.
2) What kind of food do you eat?
Mainly Felix pouches with a bowl of Hills Hairball Remedy on the go all the time.
3) What are your favorite treats?
Temptations baby!
4) Do you have a Valentine or significant other?
No, I'm too shy!
5) Do you get table scraps?
I'm not one for people food but I have been known to lick any butter left lying around!
6) What is your favorite toy?
Anything and everything! Catnip mice are great, especially when they get old and stinky! I love to steal shoe laces and till receipts are good too!
7) When is your birthday?
It has been estimated at the 9th July, based on how old I was when I was adopted in September.
8) How many times a day do you get to eat?
Normally I get half a pouch in the morning, when my folks come home from work, and at bedtime. But sometimes I don't like what I've been given, or Bruce licks the jelly off before I get to it, so then I get fed more frequently. I always have a bowl of biscuits available though.
9) Do you have a favorite color?
Not really, but Mum thinks I suit green!
10) Do you hope all your pals put this in their diary?
Hope so, if they want to anyway!
I'm not one for tagging but I would like as many of my friends as possible to do this because I'd like to read all about you!
So if you want to do this, drop me a paw mail and I'll send you a rosette!
Today is a very, very goooooood day for three reasons!
1. An anonymous valentines rosette! Aw, someone likes me!
2. A firm poo!
3. Well wishes from my friends!
I'm so happy!
I hope you all are having a day as gooooooood as mine!

Intermediate Care
Overview of Intermediate Care
Intermediate care provides active therapy and treatment that gives an opportunity for recovery through structured individual care plans. It is a combination of health and social care plans that aim to provide patients with an opportunity to recover faster from an illness or minor injury.
Intermediate Care Facilities are health facilities that provide inpatient care to those who are in need of skilled nursing supervision and supportive care, but do not require continuous nursing care. They are used to avoid unnecessary admission to a hospital or premature admission to an assisted living or other long-term residential care facilities.
This type of care is suited for patients who want to maximize their independence while recovering from a short-term illness before going home. Typically, care is given to patients who need care for as little as one week, but not longer than 6 weeks.
Intermediate Care facilities are state licensed facilities that provide a wide range of medical, social, recreational and support services for older adults. These care facilities are associated with nursing homes, skilled nursing facilities and hospitals and are also known as Rest Homes or Care Homes with Nursing Supervision.
Specialized care facilities for the developmentally disabled adults who need intermediate care are available. Here are the types of available:
1. Developmentally Disabled also known as ICF-DD, is a skilled nursing facility that provides intermediate care and support services to developmentally disabled clients whose primary need is for developmental services and have a recurring but intermittent need for skilled nursing services.
2. Developmentally Disabled Habilitative also known as ICF-DDH, is an intermediate care facility with a capacity of 4 to 15 beds that provides 24-hour personal care, habilitation, developmental, and supportive health services to 15 or fewer developmentally disabled person with intermittent recurring needs for nursing services, but have been certified by a physician and surgeon as not requiring availability of continuous skilled nursing care.
3. Developmentally Disabled Nursing Facility also known as ICF-DDN, is a type of intermediate care facility with a capacity of 4 to 15 beds that provides 24-hour personal care, developmental services, and nursing supervision for developmentally disabled person who have intermittent recurring needs for skilled nursing care but have been certified by a physician and surgeon as not requiring continuous skilled nursing care. This intermediate care facility shall serve medically fragile persons who have developmental disabilities or demonstrate significant developmental delay that may lead to a developmental disability if not treated.

Toccoa City Commission Looks At Occupation Tax Ordinance
Toccoa City Commissioners will continue discussions on a proposed updated occupation tax ordinance.
At Monday's meeting, Toccoa City Attorney John Dickerson presented the proposed update to the commission for a first reading.
According to city officials, one of the main issues surrounding the ordinance was finding an appropriate way for the city to verify a business's gross receipts. Toccoa uses a business's gross receipts as part of determining the occupation tax for a business for the next year.
Dickerson said that the proposed update does not mandate that a business provide any additional documentation to verify gross receipts, but does allow the city to ask any business for such additional documentation to verify those gross receipts.
"We have an absolute right of audit," said Dickerson. "For example, if somebody submits an (business license) application and we have a concern, or if we just do it randomly, we can say 'Can you furnish us that documentation?' and they are required to furnish that (gross receipts) documentation, not only by our local ordinance but also by state law."
Dickerson did say that the information can come from a registered or certified public accountant and that would be sufficient.
Multiple commissioners say they want to discuss a number of issues before considering approving the proposed updated ordinance and the commission decided to hold a work session on the issue.
Toccoa City Commissioner Gail Fry said that she has some concerns that she feels need to be addressed, even though they do not fall under the occupation tax ordinance.
"I would like to talk about yard sales," said Fry. "I know that some houses have a yard sale every single day and I think that we need to limit the time they can have yard sales, maybe the number of times at a location, and we need to limit the duration."
Fry said she is not opposed to yard sales, but adds that she has concerns over a yard sale taking place at the same location every single day.
The city commission scheduled the work session for December 10, prior to its regular meeting.

CORTLAND, N.Y. – The nationally fourth-ranked Cortland men's lacrosse team opened up a 9-1 lead at the half and went on to defeat 12th-ranked Geneseo, 17-5, in the SUNYAC Tournament final Saturday afternoon in blustery conditions at the SUNY Cortland Stadium Complex. With the win, their 14th straight, the Red Dragons improved to 15-2 on the season and earned their 10th consecutive NCAA Div. III playoff berth. The Knights fell to 10-4 with the loss and await a possible at-large berth into the playoffs.
Sophomore Mike Tota (Webster/Webster Schroeder) scored four goals and handed out one assist to lead the Cortland offense. Senior Brian Krol (Niskayuna) scored three times and seniors Tom Burke (Massapequa) and Brandon Misiaszek (New Hartford) and junior Jay DiStefano (Huntington/Harborfields) each added two goals and one assist.
Junior Chris DeLuca, the tournament Most Valuable Player, had one goal and three assists, won 15-of-22 faceoffs and collected a game-high 10 ground balls. Junior Neal Hopps (Akwesasne/Massena) contributed one goal and one assist, while sophomores Greg Wright (Irondequoit) and Jack Kennedy (Camillus/West Genesee) netted one goal apiece. Junior Justin Schneidman recorded seven ground balls and five caused turnovers. Freshman goalie Mike Kaminski (Sayville) stopped four shots and allowed five goals in 51 minutes, 21 seconds before giving way to freshman Bobby Whitmarsh (Smithtown/Smithtown East), who did not face a shot over the final 8:39.
Junior Craig Lange (Syracuse/CBA) paced Geneseo with three goals. Junior Scott Cost (Warners/West Genesee) registered one goal and one assist, sophomore Brendan Kurpis (Yorktown) scored once and junior Evan Bryant (Amherst/Williamsville North) and sophomore Jeff Watson (Camillus/Marcellus) each chipped in with an assist.
Senior goalie Dennis Costanza (Webster/Webster Schroeder) made 11 saves in 58 minutes, and sophomore Noah Berg (Rochester/Brighton) did not register a save in two minutes of action. Costanza and senior Erik Baranowski (Liverpool) collected six ground balls apiece.
The Red Dragons opened up a 5-0 lead after one quarter as five different players found the back of the net. Kurpis finally put the Knights on the scoreboard at 12:37 of the second quarter on Watson's assist, but Cortland closed the half with four straight goals, again each from a different player, and led 9-1 at the half.
Misiaszek and Krol pushed Cortland's lead to 11-1 early in the third quarter before Cost scored to make it 11-2. Tota then netted back-to-back goals, followed by scores from Lange and Kennedy and the Red Dragons led, 14-3, after three quarters. Cortland outscored the Knights, 3-2, in a penalty-filled fourth quarter with Wright, Krol and DeLuca scoring for the Red Dragons and Lange netting a pair for Geneseo.
Cortland out shot Geneseo, 45-20, in the game and held a 47-33 advantage in ground balls. The Red Dragons won 15-of-26 faceoffs and were successful on 19-of-21 clears, while the Knights converted just 12-of-25.
Joining DeLuca on the all-tournament team were Burke, Kaminski, Krol and Schneidman from Cortland; Cost, Lange and junior Joe May (Homer) from Geneseo; Rashaun Durden and Brogin VanSkoik from Potsdam; and Hugh O'Gorman and Steve Loesch from Oneonta.

The World Anti-Doping Code Review has been underway since November 28, 2011 and will culminate on November 15, 2013 when WADA's Foundation Board is presented with the final draft of the 2015 World Anti-Doping Code for approval.
Supporting the Code is a series of International Standards, and these important documents are also being reviewed to further strengthen WADA's processes for the world's anti-doping community.
What are the International Standards?
There are five International Standards that help to bring harmonization and clarity to the technical aspects of anti-doping. The International Standards cover testing, laboratories, therapeutic use exemptions (TUEs), the List of Prohibited Substances and Methods (List), and the protection of privacy and personal information.
Are the International Standards also under review?
Yes they are. The International Standards review consists of two consultation phases that run concurrently to the second and third consultation phases of the Code Review. During this time, four of the five International Standards - testing, TUEs, laboratories, and the protection of privacy and personal information - will be reviewed by WADA and its signatories.
Why are they being reviewed?
As with the Code Review, the review of the International Standards is designed to keep pace with the changing challenges faced by anti-doping organizations and sport across the world.
Changes to the Code may also require amendments to the International Standards and for this reason the two reviews are conducted in conjunction with each other.
Science is constantly evolving and with it the practices of athletes who use doping substances and methods. These factors must be taken into consideration, and the review must also reflect any legal developments that are relevant to these areas.
The review also allows WADA and its stakeholders to strengthen anti-doping procedures based on the experience and knowledge gained over the period in which they were last drafted.
Why are only four of the International Standards under review?
The International Standard for the List is reviewed every year and therefore stands apart from the 18-month review process for the rest of the International Standards.
Article 4.1 of the Code mandates WADA to revise and update the List at least once a year so that an effective and up-to-date document is available to sport and the anti-doping community at all times.
When will the four new International Standards come into force?
January 1, 2015.
The final draft of the International Standards will be tabled with the final draft of the revised Code at WADA's Executive Committee meeting in September 2013.
The following month the Code and the International Standards will be sent to WADA's stakeholders, and at the World Conference on Doping in Sport from November 12-15, 2013 they will be tabled for approval by WADA's Executive Committee and Foundation Board.

The Dadvantage
From the author of the hit humor advice book The Three Dollar Scholar and previous national columns in GQ and Muscle & Fitness comes the hilarious and practical guide for new dads to stay in shape on no sleep, with no time and no equipment.
Most men gain weight throughout their wives' pregnancy. Unfortunately, guys don't have access to the one-day miracle weight loss plan that women utilize called giving birth. One minute, a woman is bursting at the seams with child, the next minute; she's 15 pounds lighter. Three months later, she's 30 pounds lighter. For men, what was once affectionately called "sympathy weight" is now referred to as "being fat". Once a guy is fat for a certain amount of time, he has officially "let himself go". And once he's "let himself go", it's not easy to get himself back.
In THE DADVANTAGE: Stay in Shape on No Sleep with No Time and No Equipment, Jon Finkel applies the same humor and logic he made popular in his previous book, The Three Three Dollar Scholar, to prove to men that being in shape and being a new dad aren't mutually exclusive. With its practical, think-it-through approach, THE DADVANTAGE is as much a real-world guide for men to follow about how to make wise health decisions post-baby as it is a blueprint for men to maximize their minutes during the craziest time of their life.
The book is divided into four chapters, with each chapter candidly and comedically preparing men to cope with being a father. Since time is the one thing new dads don't have, the book is short, to the point, and meant to be read in one or two sittings.
Chapters I and II of the book, titled "Conquering the Countdown" and "Exercising in Zombieland" reveal why the mainstream expectations put on new fathers to set their health aside for the good of their wife and child is ridiculous, why men should shouldn't feel guilty about taking care of themselves and how every guy absolutely has the time in his existing schedule to perform some practical, easy exercises throughout the day to stay in shape.
Chapters III and IV, titled "Unleash the Unconventional" and "The Easiest New Dad Diet Ever" take a unique look at how new dads can use the simple things around them to fit in short, one or two minute workouts. Exercises like "Car Seat Curls", "Baby Bjorn Lunges" and "Mailbox Intervals" transform everyday dad activities into calorie burners and muscle builders. The final chapter shows men how simple, subtle meal changes can have lasting and impressive effects on their diet and physique with minimal effort.
No man sets out to become fat, tired and out of shape when he has a child, but it happens all the time. For less than the price of a single magazine issue or a tube of Butt Paste, men can alter the course of history and for the first time improve their health after the birth of their children.

Skin Type: Normal, Combination, Problem, All
Fresh is a unique, vegan, non-soap, daily cream facial cleanser for everyone, everyday.
Organic, whole brown rice flour gently sweeps over the skin using natural grain fiber to effectively remove dirt and provide energizing B Vitamins. Willowbark extract provides a rich source of natural salicins that exfoliate by dissolving dead skin cells and also discourages bacteria buildup on skin. And using the principle of "like dissolves like" the emollient organic oils of Apricot Kernal, Hemp, and Sunflower mix with the dirty skin oils on your face and lift them, leaving vitamin-rich, soothing nourishment behind. Skin is cleansed instead of stripped. Infusions of organic Chickweed and Rose tone and freshen circulation to flush away toxins.
This cruelty-free facial cleanser's unique construction makes it a good choice for both dry skin types, normal skin, and oily, acneic and problem skin. It is the correct, acidic PH for skin and will not damage the acid mantle. Due to the fact that it also contains no soaps or any type of detergent ingredients it does not dissolve or remove oil from the face. Instead it leaves a small amount of healthy, clean oils behind so that skin is fed and softened. Fresh will leave skin with a bit of a slick feeling just after use which some people are not used to. Simply pat the skin dry and within a few minutes the slick feeling will be gone and the healthy herbs and oils absorbed into skin, leaving just clean, comfortable, supple skin for you.

Summer Rerun: Dude Looks Like a YA
February 6, 2007:
Maybe it's because basketball season is in full swing (and my Sacramento Kings, sadly, are stinking up Arco Arena), but I have been seeing a lot of crossover novels lately. Get it?? Get it?? Crossover? Basketball? (I know, it's my lamest opening ever. Just stick with me here.)
After everyone saw how books like HARRY POTTER and ERAGON sent kids and adults alike scurrying to the bookstores in droves, crossover became the new thing all over again. Everyone has seen how successful books that are enjoyed by both children and adults can be, and the massive sales.. ahem, I mean the thrill of having your work read by as many people as possible means I now get a lot of crossover novels in the query inbox.
But here's the problem with crossover novels: there's no crossover publisher, only children's publishers and adult publishers, and there's no crossover section of the bookstore, only the children's side and the adult side. Sure there are big publishers with both children and adult divisions, but cooperation on a crossover novel would mean taking the elevator down a few floors, and come on, who can be bothered to do that???
So this raises an interesting question for the aspiring crossover novelist -- how can you tell if your novel is a YA (young adult) novel that might appeal to adults or an Adult novel that might appeal to a younger audience?
As an example, let's take two (very good) novels about troubled high schoolers: KL Going's FAT KID RULES THE WORLD, and Michelle Tea's ROSE OF NO MAN'S LAND. FAT KID RULES THE WORLD opens with an overweight teenager contemplating suicide before he befriends a homeless high schooler and joins a band, ROSE OF NO MAN'S LAND is about a troubled teenager who befriends/sort of falls in love with a wild teenager who distracts her from her troubled home life. Somewhat similar themes, right? But FAT KID RULES THE WORLD is a YA novel and ROSE OF NO MAN'S LAND is an Adult novel. What accounts for the split?
To me the separation between YA and Adult is not necessarily thematic, it has more to do with pacing and presentation. When you read a YA novel the pace tends to be quicker, the books tend to be shorter, and things happen in a more straightforward fashion. While of course there is a ton of variation and exceptions, things tend to unfold on the surface to keep a younger reader interested and engaged. In an adult novel, even an adult novel about high schoolers, things unfold more slowly, there tends to be more subtlety and ambiguity. Things happen beneath the surface and they can be more challenging. In other words, I think the YA/Adult split is more about the telling than the characters and the themes.
All of this is a long way to say that I think you need to write and pitch your novel as one or the other, because agents don't usually handle both adult and YA, and it's virtually impossible to pitch a "crossover" book. You also want to really make it one or the other to avoid ending up with a novel that is too adult for children and too juvenile for adults, which happens a lot. Books do indeed cross over, and you can mention that your book has crossover potential, but at least initially I think you have to go one way or another -- hopefully this will serve as a rough guide of which direction you should go.
Just. Like. Basketball.
(Worst metaphor ever.)

Yeah, Fat Kid! One of my favorite books of all time!
okay... back to the topic at hand...

This is a little off topic, but I was wondering how many people noticed the HP references in the Sci-Fi channel DR-Who episode last Friday (07/13/07)? There was mention of the author and book 7 in the dialog, and the magic word "Expelliamus" was the key for trapping the alien creatures and saving the world. That must be a huge promotional budget to get your book written into the story line of a popular sci-fi show.

So does this mean that VOICE is very important in a YA book?
I think teenagers have a very finely tuned Bulls**t Filter. They know if you're faking it.
My peeve is books that are written as though the young readers are stupid. I don't think any reader wants to be insulted intellectually but especially not a young person.
As an adult, I love reading YA that takes me back to those days (just temporarily thankfully) but gives me the details and nuances that keep me thinking and hold my interest and Maybe just maybe catch my emotions!
I never outgrew my emotions.

Hi, Nathan: I just got back from RWA National. Just for fun one day I sat in on a YA panel that included an agent and two authors.
The things they stressed about YA novels were VOICE, immediacy, lack of a lot of parental involvement and a very much stepped-up pace.
- July 18, 2007 at 12:26 PM
First of all, thanks for your blog -- I've found it really helpful, especially the query letter examples.
I've got a question about YA and labels in a query letter: the protagonist of my novel is 16; I consider my novel literary fiction.
I've read a few times that it sounds pretentious to call something literary fiction in a query, but if I just call it a "novel" will agents assume it's YA because of the protagonist's age and toss it out if that's not an area they represent?
(I mention the protagonist's age in the story description part of the query.)
Thanks in advance ... RL

We had white Corelle dishes over 20 years and love them. In that time, 2 plates chipped and 4 bowls broke. In the first week with these, we noticed a knife scratched the design when cutting food. I am concerned how they will look in a few years. Based on this, I wish I had selected a design on the plate rim only, not located where food is cut.
I searched all kinds of dishes. I need light weight, because of hand pain. I wanted color. Earthenware is too heavy for me and my first set was chipped and ugly in a year or two. Fine China is gorgeous, but heavier than Corelle. I don't know how it would hold up to every day use.

I remembered Corelle from many years ago but didn't think of getting them until I used them at a friend's house. They were very light, easy to clean and the new square style looked contemporary. I bought this set a few weeks ago, use them three times a day, and love them.

Hello, PG, you sound like my hair twin!
I used the SM products (shampoo) in the winter and did well, and now I am having issues same as yours. I do not use a leave in. on occasion, I use a dab of what I use in the shower.
Up until about 2 weeks ago, I was applying aloe vera gel in the shower, and it did great for me. Then it got warmer, and more humid, and I figured the AVG was too much moisture, causing frizz. It is my understanding that glycerin pulls moisture out of the air, so for gals with higher porosity, that is a good thing, but for us - Frizz, I know, its in just about everything. I try to find it low on the list.
But I share your frustration. Just this morning I posted I am tempted to try KCCC because it works well for so many; after reading your post, I guess I wont throw away my money. I have NOT applied products in the shower other than the AVG; CK is not cheap. But, I may have to try that. I am also a millimeter away from buying some dern flax seeds and making my own gel - all the commercial stuff has either glycerin, protein, or hydrogenated castor oil. I cannot and wont do oil, it will sit on my hair and they I will have greasy as well as frizzy hair. I shampoo daily, and so far, recently, have had the best luck with the Yes to Cucumbers. Sometimes I use the Yes to Tomatoes conditioner. Keep me posted as to what is working for your or not working please.

Because these motherfuckers let a guy who is already a millionaire raise millions of dollars from people who are not millionaires so he could add to his fortune, because they get a percentage of that cash. But apparently their percentage of 10 bucks aint enough. I guess they too fancy.
