Best Of :: Bars & Clubs
The Drawing Room is easily the best bar in Los Feliz, and an impeccable spot for drinking on the clock. If you've ever been inside, you know what we're talking about: When you're here, you'll linger. You'll commit to a goal, and that goal is getting soused. The staff will help you, nay, push you like you've never been pushed before. Other perks? The hands-down best jukebox in L.A. 1800 Hillhurst Ave., Los Feliz. (323) 665-0135. —Paul T. Bradley
A bright spot on an otherwise sleepy stretch of Colorado Boulevard in Eagle Rock, Colorado Wine Company has long stood out for its cheeky, unpretentious approach to the guzzling of the grape. (The annual white-trash wine tasting, which pairs things like tater tots and pinot noir, is always a sellout.) But since moving into new, cozier digs last November, it's become something else: a Cheers-like neighborhood bar in a neighborhood that desperately needed one. Most nights of the week — especially Fridays, when they pour a five-wine flight for a mere $15 — you can find a convivial mix of locals and cork dorks from all over town crowding around the rough-hewn hunk of reclaimed wood that serves as both bar and checkout counter. There's a rotating selection of wines by the glass and six beers on tap — but pop a bottle to share with your newfound bar buddies. Corkage is only five bucks — except Wednesdays, when it's free. 2305 Colorado Blvd., Eagle Rock. (323) 478-1985, cowineco.com. —Andy Hermann
Most beachside-bar real estate revolves around location in lieu of quality — a harrowing fact of life to the coastal craft beer lover. Where others have rested on the laurels of a nice locale, Venice Ale House unites a superb local beer selection with an ocean view. Plunk yourself onto a patio seat where you'll rub elbows with boardwalk commuters, or enjoy a slight remove at the bustling bar and choose from 32 beers originating from Colorado and points west. Note the "almost always" available chalkboard beer list in addition to the rotational selection — all are on tap. A "skate of beers" delivers a flight of four, six or eight samples suspended on an immobilized skateboard. With all that amazing beer and the enchanting sunset over the ocean, you're bound to need sustenance. Try the grass-fed burger to satisfy that primal, beer-induced hunger. This seaside pint — or flight — will be one you won't forget. 2 Rose Ave., Venice. (310) 314-8253, venicealehouse.com. —Erika Bolden
When you see a great hardcore band there's always tons of energy, and this is particularly true at the Vex Arts performance space. The stuffy, sweaty room is home to the most raging slam dancing, stage-diving and dog piles in Los Angeles County. Legendary East L.A. precursor the Vex dated back to the days of Black Flag but shut its doors in 1984. Thankfully, a year ago it returned in the new location as a multipurpose space. Again spearheaded by Joe "Vex" Suquette, it hosts everything from art shows and concerts to skateboard workshops. But the real ragers are the hardcore shows, featuring veteran acts like Infest and Chain of Strength alongside up-and-comers Stoic Violence and Nomads. Once you enter the mosh pit, you won't want to leave. (Until you start bleeding, that is.) 5240 Alhambra Ave., El Sereno. (323) 221-0971, vexarts.com. —Nicholas Pell
In decades past, jazz fanatic Clint Eastwood hung at Studio City jazz spot the Baked Potato. Oh, and Police guitarist Andy Summers gigged there following the supergroup's breakup, Slash played in jam sessions there after Guns N' Roses, and in recent years Joe Bonamassa has slipped in for sets before a hundred fans instead of the thousands that fill his arena shows. The venue was founded in 1970 by Don Randi, and his son Justin is there most nights now behind the bar and out front tweaking the room's legendary sound. Music fans from around the world pass through the doors, and the club can be considered L.A.'s answer to New York's Village Vanguard: a small room where some of the world's greatest musicians stop by to listen and play with their peers. The patrons themselves feel like they're sitting in. 3787 Cahuenga Blvd. West, Studio City. (818) 980-1615, thebakedpotato.com. —Tom Meek
The aptly named World Famous Barnyard is about as low-down and lively a blues venue as you'll find anywhere in the nation. Featuring live blues, soul, old-school jazz and R&B, this bring-your-own-booze celebration situation happens every Friday and Saturday night at 8 p.m. at 97th and Main in South Central. It's nothing but a vacant lot strewn with rows of used commodes and kitchen appliances, only partially paved and barely covered with an old awning. It features a revolving crew of hardcore local blues bands but, since there's no website, no publicist and no phone, you never know what to expect — except that it'll be as genuine as it can be. 9627 S. Main St., Broadway-Manchester. —Jonny Whiteside

Chevrolet Repair Questions? Ask a Chevy Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Here are directions
With the dashboard facia pulled off you should now see 3 screws holding the factory radio in place. Undo those and gently remove the radio. There are three cords entering the back of the radio, the grey one is the antenna, pull it straight out. The other two are the factory harness, they are VERY tough to get out. Push down on the tab to release the harness plug and pull straight back. You may need a flathead screwdriver to help push the harness plug out of the back of the radio.
The radios have the vehicle's VIN number programmed into, so you will have to have that programmed into it. That can only be done with a GM scanner. Should cost 1/2 hour labor for dealership to do this.
The radio looks for the vin number on the cars comm line and compares it to the stored one. If it does not match, it locks up.
Radio Setup
To setup a new radio for the vehicle, complete the setup procedure under the Special Functions menu of the scan tool. Cycle the ignition. Setup is complete.
Important: The Radio Setup option does not contain a submenu. Radio Setup will configure the following systems:

County dog park guide
Note: The contents of this guide were checked for accuracy when this article was updated on March 26, 2002 at 5:39 a.m. We continually update the thousands of articles on OnMilwaukee.com, but it's possible some details, specials and offers may have changed. As always, we recommend you call first if you have specific questions for the businesses mentioned in the guide.
Feeling a little cooped up lately? Milwaukee's county parks offer many opportunities to take a leisurely walk, meet new friends, play catch, chase squirrels and sniff some butts. Sniff butts? That's right, when Milwaukee dogs want to play, the county's expansive park system is the place to take them.
From scenic riverfront land to areas far away from traffic, many county parks allow leashed dogs. The only restricted areas are beaches, athletic fields and picnic or children's play areas. And as long as you stay away from those and pick up all your pet's poop, you should be safe from any $150 fine that police can give out for disobeying park rules.
"There's nothing quite like taking our dogs to the dog park to tire them out and give them a good run for their money," says Elaine Laber, owner of a pair of Chocolate Labs. "It's also good for the social interaction with other dogs."
Rules dictate that dogs should be leashed at all times. The Granville Dog Park (located just north of Good Hope Rd. and west of Hwy 45 along the east bank of the Menomonee River) lets your furry pets run free.
Laber says that keeping your dogs leashed can make them more defensive toward others, and it's better to let them loose. "The dogs get along with each other better when they're off their leashes. We only leash them if we have to, but we tend to patronize the parks that let them go free."
Laber also says the dogs at parks are generally well-behaved and friendly to each other, though that's not always the case. "We don't see many fights, but when we do, they are usually the breeds you'd expect, like Rotweilers and Pit Bull Terriers," she says.
So leash at your own risk, but dog park regulars say that they rarely encounter fines for letting their pooches off their ropes. Here's a list of almost 30 Milwaukee County Parks that are dog-friendly:

Hey Folks, There is a problem with this article. People should always have the dog on a leash (it is a legal issue)! I am a rescue dog owner, and there are always some well meaning folks who think they "know" their dog and it is always that dog that winds up causing trouble because the owner is not in control of the animal. This is how dog fights start and let's admit it these folks don't pick up the poop -- real nice. Dogs are best kept on leash and under control as a public service when sharing public spaces with others. Plus, some dogs are afraid of other dogs and some people are afraid of dogs. This is why leash laws are important. As a public service to other park visitors please only let your dog off leash in an "off leash" park area. Thanks!

Regional meeting to discuss rule of law and human security
UNODC Eastern Africa has organized a regional ministerial meeting on 23-24 November with experts and Ministers from all thirteen countries in the region to discuss and endorse a new 2009-2012 programme that will address environmental crime, corruption, terrorism, human trafficking, prison reform, piracy, HIV and AIDS and judicial reform throughout Eastern Africa.
The Conference on "Promoting the Rule of Law and Human Security in Eastern Africa", organized by UNODC and hosted by the Government of Kenya, will involve high-level participants from 13 Eastern African countries.
East Africa faces a number of threats from organized crime, including piracy, trafficking of weapons, drugs and persons, smuggling of migrants, and environmental crime. This has a serious impact on the health, security and development of the region.
It is anticipated that Ministers will agree on a Political Declaration and a "Regional Programme of action to promote the rule of law and human security in East Africa (2009-12)", developed by UNODC and the countries of the region.
The press are invited to a Press Conference on Tuesday 24 November at 16:00 at the Safari Park Hotel and Casino in Nairobi.

It was stolen by Nazis during World War II from a Paris gallery after being sent there by its Jewish owner.
The painting's current owner, Marilynn Alsdorf, has been ordered not to move it from her Chicago home until a court decides who owns it.
The original owner's grandson, Thomas Bennigson, wants the 1922 oil painting, Woman in White, to be returned.
Ms Alsdorf and her late husband bought the painting from a New York gallery for $357,000 (£195,000) in 1975.
The US government alleges Ms Alsdorf illegally moved the painting from California to Illinois.
Popular attraction
It said the painting was taken into custody because it is against the law to knowingly transport stolen goods across different states.
Mr Bennigson had sued Ms Alsdorf before she transported the painting after being told it had been put up for sale at a Los Angeles gallery.
"The victims of Nazis or their heirs shouldn't have to chase stolen property from one state to another," said Mr Bennigson's lawyer, E Rando Schoenberg.
His case was initially dismissed because it was found that Californian courts did not have jurisdiction over the matter. That decision is now under review.
More scope
Meanwhile, the Picasso Museum in the artist's home city of Malaga has revealed it has attracted nearly half a million visitors since it opened a year ago.
The museum has recently been expanded to include a library and auditorium.
Picasso's grandson, Bernardo Ruiz Picasso, said he was delighted about the plans.
"It's crucial, as it means a better integration of the city's cultural and educational life," he said.
When the museum first opened on 27 October last year, it contained about 90 Picasso works loaned by relatives of the artist and various museums.
The expansion means there will be more than 200 works to see when the new wings open on Wednesday.

I just love David and Tamela Mann!! They recently reaffirmed their vows and shared some of the details for the ceremony through video.
There was even an impromptu performance of "Take Me To The King" from Tamela and Kirk Franklin.
As congratulatory toasts were made by some of David and Tamela's high-schools friends, Franklin took to the piano and began playing notes to "Take Me To The King," motioning for Tamela to take the microphone. The collaboration at the reception was their first public performance of the mega-hit single since working together in the studio.
Tamela Mann Talks About Her Wedding Dress:
"My dress makes me emotional to talk about," said Tamela. "I spent months designing the gown with the designer, so I knew every intimate detail of it, but when I saw it at my final fitting – I lost it. It was everything I could have ever dreamed of in a bridal gown and something 25 years ago I never would have imagined I'd ever get to wear. I felt like I was in a fairytale in it, but I have to say, no more than I felt 25 years ago when I was blessed enough to marry my forever love, my best friend, my baby daddy, David."
According to US Weekly, David and Tamela Mann renewed their vows in Dallas, Texas on Saturday, April 20th. The two were wed legally in 1988, but didn't have the money for the wedding they desired.
"When we got married 25 years ago, we didn't have enough money for a wedding," explains Tamela, whose pastor married the couple in his study. At the time, the "Take Me To The King!" singer even had to borrow a ring.
This year, however, Tamela finally got her dream wedding. The bride "spent months" working with Binzario Couture to design the perfect gown. "I knew every intimate detail of it, but when I saw it at my final fitting last week, I lost it," she recalls. "It was everything I could have ever dreamed of in a bridal gown."
"We wanted a fairytale wedding, so we picked an enchanted forest theme," Tamela says. With the help of KP Designs, the Grammy winners were able to incorporate live trees and "all kinds of flowers" in the decor.
"We hosted everyone at the Joule Hotel because it had the feel we were trying to create — old-world romantic, beautiful, chic and lush — and a place everyone would love," Tamela tells Us. "And it had space for a dance floor, which if you know David, was something we had to have!"
The Cake Guys created the couple's wedding cake, and Christy Davison from Dallas' Sweet Creations made the groom's cake. Tamela — who starred in Perry's hit television series Meet The Browns with her husband — says they wanted to "keep the invite intimate." Their high school friend Kirk Franklin and his wife Tammy attended, as did Timbaland and his wife Monique Idlett Mosley.
David Mann said that they couldn't share too many details about the wedding ceremony because it was all going to be shown in their upcoming reality show. I can't wait to see it! Each of their grandchildren participated in the wedding dressed as princes and princesses. Adorbs!!

BANGKOK (AP) — Asian stocks opened lower Thursday, stung by a pessimistic assessment of the U.S. economy by the Federal Reserve.
Japan's Nikkei 225 slumped 1.6 percent to 8,598.32 while South Korea's Kospi index slid 2.6 percent to 1,806.62. Australia's S&P ASX 200 was 2.2 percent down at 3,984.40.
In a highly anticipated move, the Fed on Wednesday announced it would buy Treasury bonds to help the U.S. economy. But Wall Street stocks fell anyway because the U.S. central bank made it clear that a full U.S. economic recovery was likely years away.
The Dow Jones industrial average lost 2.5 percent to closed at 11,124.84. The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 2.9 percent to 1,166.76. The Nasdaq composite fell 2 percent to 2,538.19.
The Fed said after a two-day meeting that it would buy long-term Treasurys and sell short-term ones to help the economy regain momentum. It surprised investors when it said it would include more 30-year bonds in its purchases than expected.
The Fed said it would buy $400 billion in 6-year to 30-year Treasurys by June 2012. Over the same period, it planned to sell $400 billion of Treasurys maturing in 3 years or less. The move is intended to drive down interest rates on long-term government debt, and could lower rates on mortgages and other loans.
The inclusion of more 30-year bonds than expected means the Fed saw the need to keep very long-term rates lower for an extended period. Many analysts viewed the move as an acknowledgment that the U.S. economy's problems are long-term.
The Fed also bleakly stated that the economy has "significant downside risks" and that a number of problems won't be easily solved, including high unemployment and a depressed housing market.
Meanwhile, the price of oil continued its slide on expectations that there'll be less demand for energy because of the economy.
Benchmark crude for October delivery was down $1.53 per barrel to $84.39 on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract fell $1.00 to settle at $85.92 on the Nymex on Wednesday.

Part-time work is concentrated in industries that are female dominated – trade, accommodation, health, culture, recreation and education.
I both adore and dread school information night in equal measure.
It's always great to meet my children's new teachers but I often come home unsettled. Usually it's because I feel I'm the only one who doesn't enforce homework. But what got up my goat this year was more about the way that adults work, both in and out of the home.
My daughter has two teachers. Both went part-time after having kids; one works Monday and Tuesday, the other, the rest of the week. As we squeezed our big butts into little chairs the two teachers calmly explained how they shared the job, even detailing how they divided the curriculum and communicated with one another. The two women had clearly thought long and hard about the job share. They also had a lot in common and were so in–sync they not only finished each other's sentences but accidentally wore identical shirts. Both were passionate, dedicated and extremely organised.
Most parents relaxed as they bathed in the glow of light, warmth and professionalism. Yet there was a distinct chill emanating from the back stalls.
That's where the fathers were sitting.
Quite a few of the dads proceeded to give the teachers the third degree about the job share. There were questions about how they could effectively teach, handover responsibilities and communicate with each other. It wasn't so much the questions that were uncomfortable as the body language, tone and attitude – it seemed to say 'part-time job share doesn't work. I don't want it.'
I know it can take kids some time to get used to having two teachers. But they will. I've seen many advantages to the arrangement; a teacher coping with 20 plus kids a day could be well understood for being grumpy, over it and slack come Friday, while job sharers return rejuvenated. They also get kids ready for the constant change of teacher that comes in High School and they offer different perspectives, methods and capabilities.
It felt to me that many of the men in the room were not just questioning the teachers' ability to manage a job share but also their capacity, commitment and life style. Part-time, full-time or not working we were united in pain at the men's hostility to the job share.
Yesterday an employment tribunal in the UK heard that a BBC Chief was so antagonistic to working mothers he made a job share request impossibly onerous and wanted the woman marked 'at risk of redundancy'. If true, it's a shocking attitude that's alas not that shocking to hear.
Because while this shouldn't be a 'woman's issue', it is. There's a massive gender divide as 70% of part-time workers are women.
I'm not blaming men for this. Who works and how much is not always a free choice. A study from the University of South Australia found nearly half of fathers would prefer fewer hours at work and many would love to go part-time. The problem is, men are more likely to earn more than their female partner. Hence in heterosexual relationships it usually makes more economic sense for the bloke to stick to a full-time job. It's another consequence of pay inequity and it has many ramifications. Part-time jobs are less secure, less well paid, accrue less superannuation and offer less chance of promotion and pay rises. They can enforce female disadvantage and can be an underuse of women's talent, brains and human capital. Yet, I deeply understand why part-time work appeals and believe my human capital can contribute to two jobs – both carer and career.
The fact is, those who prickle at part-timers better drop their prejudices. They are here to stay. According to the Bureau of Statistics almost a third of employed Australians are part-time and the rate of this work is growing at twice the rate of full-time work.
One problem is our working culture; it's macho, or at least masochistic. Australians work long hours in comparison to other nations (41 hours a week on average with more than a quarter of us clocking up 48 hours plus). This culture can be contemptuous of part-timers. I know many women who work 4 days a week and struggle to be accepted, respected and included in the workplace – especially if they miss out on Friday night drinks. Many are so keen to keep up they end up doing a full time workload on a part-time wage.
Not all jobs are suited to job share and part-time positions. Yet it's interesting what institutions and organisations can do when they have to. Part-time work is concentrated in industries that are female dominated – trade, accommodation, health, culture, recreation and education. These industries simply have to accept part-time workers to function.
What's more, part-time work is, in fact, good for the bottom line. International workplace provider Regus found companies with part-time jobs achieved real increases in productivity and greater revenue generation. Managers across the globe also reported that staff were more energized and motivated thanks to flexible working. Job sharing is now being successfully used as an important talent retention tool.
Then there are the unbilled benefits: the unacknowledged work that women do with their other hours. Most are not watching daytime soaps on their day off; they're doing the majority of unpaid work in the community, at schools, on committees and in charities, not to mention the housework, aged care and childcare. If society had to pay for this it would cost a bomb.
At the end of the information night the teachers asked for volunteers to be class parent. That's when all the involved dads' went silent and put their hands down. I get it. They work hard. There's no time. So, I and another mum stepped up. We both work. This will be another unpaid job we will do to help the school, our community and the kids. But I'm tempted to sign off every class email with 'Sarah, Part-time job-share Class parent. Like it or lump it.'
As part-time work becomes increasingly common employers need to ensure they provide quality jobs with security, capacity for advancement and decent wages and conditions. Employees need to know they are entitled to ask for such jobs. And we all need to not just accept part-time workers but to show them some respect.

Taylor Swift was spotted boating with members of the Kennedy clan on July 4 at Hyannis Port in Cape Cod.
Aceshowbiz has a photo of the singer sailing, and says she spent a couple of days vacationing with the famous family.
TMZ says Swift and Patrick Schwarzenegger -- son of Maria Shriver (her mom is Eunice Kennedy Shriver, of course) and Arnold Schwarzenegger -- were seen taking a private stroll on the beach, but it's unclear if romance was in the air.
Whatever happened, Schwarzenegger enjoyed it. He tweeted: "Had such an amazing day. Best 4th of July I could ask for. Hope everyone had a great day!"
Swift hasn't tweeted about the visit, but has mentioned her surprise visit Monday to Tanglewood where she joined James Taylor on stage for a few songs. No doubt the Taylor-Taylor combo was a good one.
She has, however, explained her friendship with the Kennedys. Rory Kennedy has taken daughters Georgia and Bridget to a number of Taylor Swift concerts. "I kept going like a groupie," Rory told USA TODAY's Bryan Alexander at the Sundance Film Festival in January.
During one concert she met Taylor backstage and invited her to the Cape last year to hang out with the Kennedy clan. After that Taylor later mentioned her admiration for 84-year-old Ethel Kennedy. "She said I have read all these books and I would love to meet your mother," recalls Rory.
"It's a street that goes both ways," says Ethel Kennedy. "Isn't she the best? She's so remarkable. You come away each time feeling elated."

Hi Garry,
There are several places named Hanging Rock in NSW but the one of interest
to you is most likely in the Tamworth regional Local Governement area, in
the Parish of Parry County of Nundle
>From this http://www.lands.nsw.gov.au/survey_mapping/parish_maps link to the
NSW Dept of Lands select Search Facility, type NUNDLE in the Map Name, click
on NUNDLE then the first Image ID & you will see Hanging Rock.
When the map appears, change the size (at bottom of the screeen) to 640 x
480 for a larger image.
Good luck

Today, Congresswoman Betty Sutton (OH-13) released the following statement calling on Congress to pass H.R. 4271, the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2012:
"For nearly two decades the Violence Against Women Act has given women the peace of mind of knowing that there are laws in place that ensure their safety and security; we must work to reauthorize this law and do so immediately.
This is a law that works, not only for women who have fallen victim to violence, but for every American who strives to live in a more just, safer world. For all of our differences, we should come together and show the next generation of Americans that we will always agree that violence against women is wrong, and we should support every effort to fight it."
A lifelong leader on women's rights and trailblazer on domestic abuse issues, Congresswoman Sutton first introduced legislation strengthening domestic violence laws in 1993 as a member of the Ohio House of Representatives and has been a strong supporter in strengthening and extending the Violence Against Women Act in Congress.

W-Meter is a tool for testing the conformance and evaluating the performance of 802.11 products. The tool is meant for injecting arbitrary frames to test the conformance of any wifi product. The tool has templates for generating various kinds of frames which can be customized for generation of specific frames. The tool can be used to elicit responses from other wifi cards to check the conformance of the card to the protocol. At present, 802.11g frames are completed.
PyMuTester is tool to facilitate Mutant Testing (a.k.a Mutant Analysis or Program Mutation) on software systems written in Python. Its main purpose is to assist you in improving your existing unit tests to cover missing checks and "loopholes" in your testing. It works by making small changes (technically known as mutants) to your Python application's source code and re-running your unit tests over these mutated applications' source code. Since the mutants usually go against the specifications, your unit tests should fail in such tests. If the unit tests still pass, then that is an indication that your unit tests might have missed some checks.

I'm late today. Sue me. See? I'm late AND sassy. Must be the eggnog and Wilson Phillips I'm listening to on repeat. Whew… scary flashbacks to Carnie Wilson in her red holiday sweater.
Anyway, today's gift guides (YES! TWO!) are all about the teachers, AND the new girlfriend in the fam. I find that the latter recipient is one of the hardest to gift, b/c it's more than likely the first time you've met her, and well… what to gift someone you don't really know but are forced to like?
So, we'll do new girlfriends first, followed by a brief break and then a list for the teachers!
Check back for both lists uploaded by 1PM [PST], and be sure to check in tomorrow for THE GRAND FINALE— I'll fill you in on the details, but you'll have to wait! :)

Two-time ACFW Genesis finalist Linda Yezak resides in the state of Texas, where tall tales abound and exaggeration is an art form. Aside from being a member of American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW), she also belongs to Women Writing the West (WWW) and The Christian PEN. She lives in the heart of a forest with her husband, three cats, four ducks, and a pond full of fish.
What would you do differently if you were starting your publishing career today?
I'd research the publishers I was interested in to discover what they expected and wanted. "Word count" never crossed my mind as I wrote my first two novels. I had no idea that books could be considered too short for some publishers and too long for others. I also discovered that there is a difference in what each publisher will allow in their authors' content. For instance, the street dance scene in Give the Lady a Ride wouldn't be allowed by some Christian publishers and would be considered mild to others. I edited words and scenes that I didn't realize would be considered offensive, but in the future, I'll know better than to put them in to begin with.
What is the best writing advice you have ever heard?
Study the craft. Study the craft. Study the craft. It doesn't matter whether you're new to writing or have been at it a good many years, you can always find room for improvement. I have an English degree earned in a time and from a college that emphasized the study of other authors and the intent of their works rather than the writing itself. We studied few contemporary pieces and no popular fiction, so my first novel–my first truly awful novel–involved current interests written in an outdated style.
Fortunately writing trends change at a slower pace than fashion trends, but it pays to keep up with what they are. It also pays to know what your weaknesses are and work to improve. The way to do that is to study the craft.
Tell us a bit about your current project.
The Cat Lady's Secret is a fun book to write. Millie, the cat lady, is a unique character, quirky and mischievous, and I just had to explore her. Everywhere she goes, people's needs and wishes are met, but what will happen to the town's benefactor when a journalist threatens to reveal her identity?
After everything I said about studying the craft in the other question, I have to admit I'm breaking some rules in this one. I guess one of the perks of knowing them is developing creative ways to break them. Whether I'll get away with it is another issue entirely. (Plan B has been designed and can be implemented in a moment's notice.)
What event most changed you as a writer? How?
Finding and joining ChristianWriters(dot)com turned my writing life around. When I first discovered this on-line community, I went barreling in, prepared to share all my scholarly wisdom. After all, I had a degree in English! And I had written a novel! (Remember that "truly awful novel" I mentioned earlier?)
My first book was written in isolation. I had no idea there were writing groups "out there." I found a Yahoo! group first, but I soon wondered whether anyone could write anything that didn't embarrass the fool out of me. Then I found CW.com.
As I wandered their cyber-halls, I realized I had nothing to share with those people. Many knew far more than I did and had a lingo to match: POV? What's a POV? Head-hopping? Purple prose? I was out of my league.
I've gained so much in that community–everything from excellent writing and marketing advice to lessons on how to accept criticism of my work. Not to mention friends. Many of the members also belong to ACFW, and I had the pleasure of meeting several of them last year in Indianapolis.
What gives you the greatest writer buzz, makes the trip worth the hassles (besides coffee or other substances, of course)?
When the story finally comes together, and I suddenly know how to do what I need to do. I write by the seat of my pants, but I imagine outliners have the same problem. Whether you write as you go or plan your writing, you have to know "what comes next." We play with ideas based on everything that has gone on before and try to develop those plot twists and surprises that keep the reader hooked. They don't always come easily. Cat Lady sat idle for almost a year because I was stumped over an appropriate "what comes next." Then it hit me, and that Aha! moment is what pumps my blood.
When an idea lands in my head that is right and that opens the floodgates for other ideas, I get buzzed. That's when I'm no longer too tired to work, when I don't care if I miss "my favorite show," when I ignore the ringing phone. It's what keeps me writing.
What piece of writing have you done that you're particularly proud of and why?
July 20, 2009, I wrote a review of Riven, by Jerry Jenkins, for AuthorCulture, one of my blogs. The book impressed me in so many ways, particularly in characterization. Jenkins managed to do something I'd love to learn–he made a bad guy sympathetic. I have a hard time making my good guys sympathetic sometimes, so his characterization amazed me.
One day, just for fun, I "Googled" myself and came across a surprise. Tyndale House had lifted my review, warts and all, and plopped it under the "Reviews" tab of the Riven site. Number one, top of the list, over such giants as CBA Retailers and Resources Magazine, Christian Retailing, and Publisher's Weekly.
It never dawned on me to get upset that the post was taken without permission. If I were to be upset about anything, it would be that Tyndale got my blog address wrong. But they spelled my name right.

Thanks for sharing your journey with us, Linda.ReplyDelete
Thanks for having me, Kelly.ReplyDelete
Great interview, Linda. You offer some sage writing advice here, plus, I got to know you a little bit more. I'm going to have to visit your blogs more often :)ReplyDelete
Insightful questions, Kelly. Thanks!
Alice Trego
Fellow WWW'er
Great interview, Linda! Love those "buzz-worthy" moments. They make all the gritting of teeth and pulling out of hair more than worth it. And I love Give the Lady a Ride! You've got a super-duper story on your hands. Loved the romance, the comedy... and, oh yeah, the cowboys!ReplyDelete
Alice, thanks so much for dropping by! I'm glad you enjoyed the interview.ReplyDelete
Katie--thankyouthankyouthankyou! I'm so glad you liked the book!
So good to get to know you a bit better. Like your name is Linda. I know you as peppermint 777. :)ReplyDelete
Great interview, Linda! Congrats again on the book release. I love those Aha! moments. I'm waiting for one now... :)ReplyDelete
Hey, VV, thank for dropping by. Yep, that's me--ppr!ReplyDelete
Sally, thank you!
Naomi, I hope your Aha! moment hits you soon!
I also enjoyed getting to know you better, Linda. Congrats on your book and best wishes with your current project. :-)ReplyDelete
Thanks, Lynda!ReplyDelete
Kelly, thanks so much for the interview with MVFRH (my very favorite red head), Linda. Great questions and inspiring answers. I'm so excited for you, Linda!ReplyDelete
Thank you, sweet Lynn! I always appreciate your support!ReplyDelete
I'm an English major too. Funny how badly that prepares you to be a writer!ReplyDelete
Isn't that the truth, Phyllis? I feel I had to relearn even some basic grammar--downright embarrassing!ReplyDelete
Hi Linda,ReplyDelete
I'm so glad I read this. I enjoyed meeting you at ACFW, but didn't realize how similar our journeys were. I also have degrees in English and Writing and wrote my first book in isolation. 150k, old style, medieval setting, focused on issues. Ha ha. Sound familiar.
However, this was the book of my heart, so over the next for years as I learned the business I re-wrote it at least ten times until I finally found a publisher.
Yeah, I knew how to spell "four."ReplyDelete
Dina, is that the one that's coming out this year? So excited for you!ReplyDelete
Don't worry about "for/four." I know you know better, just like I know better about "your/you're" I posted on a site yesterday!
I've stopped even bothering to correct myself on my own site and my group blog. I figure it gives the nonwriters courage to leave comments. :)ReplyDelete
Yes, this is the one coming out this year, Dance of the Dandelion. Because I didn't know enough to realize medieval had a poor market, I ended up going with a small publisher willing to take a risk with unusual settings.
But the good news is that several large houses really liked it even with all my social issues and edgy material.
I *love* medieval! One of my faves is *Behold the Dawn* by K.M. Weiland. Be sure to let me know when yours comes out. So excited for you!!!ReplyDelete
So excited to see you here, and can't wait to read your book! Congratulations.ReplyDelete
Great interview, Linda. And I know anyone who decides to read Give the Lady a Ride will be glad they did. Such a fun story!ReplyDelete
I, too, and so thankful for all my friends over at www.christianwriters.com. Such a wonderful community of like minded people.
Wishing you all the best!
What a lovely interview, Linda! So goo to see you here. And yes, CW is so awesome. So many awesome people there.ReplyDelete
Wishing you much success!
Kathi--thanks! I think you'll get a kick out of Ride.ReplyDelete
Lynnette--thank you! Yes, I'm thankful for my friends over at CW. It's a special group.
Mart--thank you so much!
Congratulations, Linda! I'd love to read Give the Lady a Ride and your Cat Lady's Secret also sounds like a book I'd enjoy.ReplyDelete
Also kudos on the review of Riven--that was an excellent book!
Thank you, Heidi! I'll know who to call when Cat Lady needs a proofreader! :DReplyDelete
Lovely interview! I'm an ACFW member and saw your loop alert!!!ReplyDelete
Thank you so much, Dr. Taylor! I didn't even know it was on the loop alert. I'm glad you told me!ReplyDelete
Great interview. Those "aha" moments make the blood, sweat, and tears worthwhile. Okay, so maybe writing a novel isn't that hard. Well, some days it is.ReplyDelete
Eunice--yep, some days it's hard. But the rewards make it worthwhile!ReplyDelete

Donald Trump said some curse words dropping them like bombs in Las Vegas tonight while hosting an event at Treasure Island. I think I am coming around and am beginning to hope Trump gets the Republican nomination.
Why? He will be easy to beat.
Las Vegas is our sideshow just like Trump.
My argument is simple. How will Trump be able to sway all the Republicans to vote for him with his flamboyant attitude?
I am going to double down that he can't win because the odds are stacked highly against him.
He may be a descent businessman but he has no clue how to be a politician.
When times are tough, Vegas is where we go to party and forget about the real world. It would seem that Trump agrees.
After taking a bashing on the Birther issue while questioning President Obama's legitimacy as an American, I would go to a place where everybody was my friend too.
Why are we still talking about Trump right now?
This is another easy answer.
Times are tough and war sucks but as the French put it, "c'est la vie."
Seriously, we need a break from the real world. This is why Trump has become so popular lately.
After months and months of war in Libya, possible nuke sites in North Korea and Iran, years and years of trying to get Afghanistan and Pakistan to see our point of view, decades of whatever is going on in Iraq, a radiated Japan, tornadoes ripping up the USA heartland, and mass confusion about why prices are going up, we need a break. It's just too much. Our brains are imploding.
So thank you Trump. Thanks for the circus sideshow. We needed it. As soon as we tire of this clown, we will be debating global warming and oil prices once again.
Mark my words, if Trump is nominated he will split the Republican party in half and soon there will be the moralists vs. the anti-moralists. Both sides will be duking it out while many of us sit back and laugh at all the strange issues that emerge, cracking the Republican party into splinters as real conservative politicians try to enter the game.
My reasoning for this happening is that I can't fathom why any Bible Belt or intellectual Republicans in their right minds would vote for him. It's beyond me. All he has to win people to his side are fear tactics. Are we really that stupid?
On top of that, feminist groups will tear him apart.
Will somebody please explain to me why nominating Donald Trump is a good thing for the Republican party?
As President Obama does his job today, I hope he gets a good laugh out of Trump. Then he can get back to work coming up with creative ideas to fix our economy.
In the meantime, full steam ahead with Trump. I hope he gets the Republican nomination.

Next week she'll be playing against the world's best on her home course, and Canberra's Nikki Campbell hopes to enter the Australian Open on the back of her first win in three years.
The 32-year-old defied windy morning conditions to shoot three-under and grab a share of the lead after the first round of the New Zealand Women's Open at Christchurch on Friday.
Starting on the back nine, Campbell shot three straight birdies from holes two to four to join compatriots Tamara Johns and Sarah Oh at three-under in a three-way logjam at the top of the leaderboard.
Royal Canberra member Campbell is looking for her first trophy since her win on the Japan Tour's Fujitsu Ladies tournament in 2009.
''Playing in the wind was a good thing. It means hopefully when I play in the afternoon I'm used to the wind,'' Campbell said.
''It's unfortunate the [morning] players didn't get to take advantage of some still conditions, but you never know it may blow again in the morning [on Saturday]."
It's the first time Campbell has played the New Zealand Open after spending the last decade on the Japan Tour.
Having lost her tour card after failing to finish in the top-50 on last year's Japan money list, Campbell will play on this year's European Tour after safely negotiating qualifying school.

Seven Servants
In this film from Iranian director Daryush Shokof, Anthony Quinn plays an elderly man who wants to exit earth in a state of unity with all creatures. To that end, he hires a quartet of manservants to plug his facial orifices with their fingers. Not your typical solution, but it seems to work for Archie (Quinn), who moves through the rest of the film thus connected. Audra McDonald appears in the final moments to sing a "death aria" into his mouth.

text: I want to find a spot for fresh, ready made lobster salad to get by the half pound/pound, and then use to make lobster rolls at home. I saw there was a thread on this a while back, (regarding the citarella $80 a pound stuff) but it mainly wound up as a discussion of spots to get lobster to prepare at home(also a worthy topic), rather than where to pick it up all ready for the roll. I've gotten this at the dean and deluca in dc before, but don't remember seeing it in the soho one. Not looking to pay $80 a pound at Citarella(or $60 a pound at Lobster Place, which was suggested in the other thread), I'd rather just go to one of the better lobster roll restaurants at that point. But once its in a reasonably sane price range, I'm up for paying as long as its quality, and am looking for good quality lobster. Anybody have a go to spot for this? Fairly flexible on the nature of the salad (i.e. celery vs no celery, etc.).

Actually, my son caught this one.
I filled out my Voter's Registration Form just now after finding out I was put on the inactive list - at what point, I don't know. I only received the official, cardboard-like form earlier this week, along with the absentee ballot request form.
I filled both out after calling the Secretary of State's office.
See, Iowa doesn't have any protection mechanism in its VR laws to protect people who are the victims, or potential victims, of domestic violence. The Iowa voter rolls, as is the case in other states, are available for public scrutiny. So domestic violence victims, those who may be victims of stalkers, or other potential abuse after they leave a bad situation, have no protection to keep their locations confidential if they want to register to vote. This is an issue I've been bringing up since 2005, when I arrived here.
The only way to protect the physical location information in Iowa is to list your address as "general delivery" and/or describe some landmark building near which you really live, so as to determine your voter precinct. There is a precinct that handles "general delivery" registrations that includes the Post Office.
But the laws do not specifically state that this is the way this voting group is specifically supposed to register to vote. It's just 'understood' that this is the procedure. Everyone on here is astute enough that I don't have to go into why this can be a potential problem in a close election, a potential problem for any given voter, or how this could be used to claim that there is voter fraud in Iowa by current Republicans, especially in light of the two 'emergency rules' adopted by the Secretary of State in late July, without vetting or vote on the changes.
So, I completed the form and taped it up, as per instructions, stamped it, and handed it to my son.
He pointed out what was on the reverse side of that registration form and I thought I would share it with everyone on Newsvine. He is mailing a copy of the following to the IDP at this writing:
Some blank space on the left half, a man in a suit carrying what looks to be a a box of files and envelopes on the right side.
Iowa's middle-class families
are searching for answers.
- Americans out of work
- Middle-class families struggling
- The debt growing
The Democrats keep spending, raising
taxes, and killing jobs while middle-class families suffer...
And believe it or not, no one called the Iowa Democratic Party to point this out to anyone until I did, according to the person I contacted.
Iowa's Governor and House are Republican (by 20 seats). Its Senate is Democrat (by 2 seats).
If someone knows how I can scan this printer copy into a JPG and post it on Vine in this article, please let me know. I made an extra.

Welcome to Just Answer and thanks for your question. The terminology "gastric mucosal abnormality characterized by erythema" is a common one when viewing the stomach or esophageal mucosa of someone with an ulcer or gstroesophageal reflux disease. While it can be malignant, it usually isn't, but only a biopsy of the tissue can tell for sure.
