The Narrowing of the Perceptible World
The ant clambered over a few grains of sand. "Come with me," he said to his friend, and his friend followed.
The ant dodged a wayward leaf and clambered over a twig. "This way, this way," he said, waving his friend forward. They trudged ahead. The ant scampered over fallen blades of grass. He was excited – home was close.
He sighted the entrance to the tunnel. "We're here," the ant said, pointing, but the rhinoceros had trouble making out the doorway and squinted in vain.
A little joke, yes, but such little jokes often occur accidentally in the writing of fiction. Specificity of details is necessary for creating vivid fiction, yet the devil is in those details, hiding away his little horned head and laughing.
Details are necessary, it's true, but just as important is their proper sequencing. If we want a joke, we withhold the fact that the ant's friend is a rhinoceros. But if we're trying to create a vivid fictive picture, what John Gardner called the dream vision, we need to be able to see what's happening. We need to know that the ant's friend is a rhinoceros right from the start. The image is unclear (and untrue) until we know.
A joke is a trick; fiction is a matter of trust. A reader must trust the writer to create a world, a world they can see and feel, a world in which the rug is not always pulled out from beneath their feet.
And if we are to create a vivid new world (as all writers do, whether writing something fantastical or utterly familiar), we must do so by creating the sensual experience of this world using only our words. For what we know of our own world is through our senses, through the physical impressions that reach us, and if we want our fictive world to be convincing (and, for a time, overshadow the real one) we must not only find the right sensory details but also properly sequence them.
Without this, the dream vision lacks harmony and flow. The vision will jar the reader. Ripples will appear in the fabric of the story, the reflected vision becoming blurred and distorted.
To sequence these details we must not only know what we sense about the world, but how we sense it.
Let us say we want to fabricate a river in our new world. Yet to do so, to create a convincing river, sometimes we need something more than the word itself. How do we come upon a river? Rarely do we first see the glistening shell of the waterbug on its surface, but rather a sense of the river as a whole. Our gaze, our sensual experience, narrows as we take something in, moving from large to small. Indeed, our senses typically work this way.
We first hear, perhaps, the roar and rush of water. It is not a clear sound, at first, but a background noise, a natural white noise underlying the sounds around us. It grows louder, and as it does (as we draw nearer) the roar becomes more particular. The sound sharpens, becomes clearer. Individual sounds become distinguishable: a few rapids; water falling on stone; the eddy and rush of a whirlpool; the trickle of a stream feeding the hungry river.
We still can't see the river itself, perhaps, as it is blocked from view by a wall of pine trees – though the brightness of their greenery speaks of water and life. Yet we can smell it. The clear scent of water beneath the scent of pine needles. And after a moment this, too, sharpens. A scent of moss, a hint of wet shale. A green and thick smell where the water has pooled in little grottoes.
The river manifests itself through the trees: sparks of reflected light, and then as we part the trees the bright surface of the water, a sense of movement and weight and width. Our gaze draws in, and we note the texture of the water, how it moves and shapes itself over stones, how lines of flow mark its bends and twists. Rounded stones resist the movement of the river, skins of moss like green shadow. A leaf floats, a castaway from some elm tree in a forgotten upstream world. Waterbugs glide and shimmy on the surface. A fish peels away, a flick of silver, disturbed by our shadow on the water.
We reach out a hand – cold. The water is cold. We pull out our hand and drops splash down. Again we touch. Cold, yes, but we also feel the weight of the water pressing on our fingers, the line of temperature change on the surface, lines of flow and movement beneath. Silt skims our fingertips, almost soft, as it courses along the floor of the river.
A taste on our lips. Water and wetness at first, and the taste of cold, but also, deeper on the tongue, the taste of that silt, the soft grit of it, and the mustiness of leaves and dry grass and other wayward travelers – the taste of an autumn flowing toward winter.
A river. We have seen it in the looking glass and fallen through, into the image. The world has narrowed itself into pertinent details.
There are always exceptions, of course; sometimes observations deviate from such patterns, but always for particular reasons, for particular literary effects. The key is to find not only what we should sense about this world we want to make, but how we should sense it. How do we find the touch and taste of it? It is in finding that particular pattern that we will find a convincing dream of a new world.

Love, love this! As always, I enjoy your prose, but I love the idea of richness of imagery used to flesh out your literary world. The trick is to not overload the senses, but keep the flow of your story - to interpret the world through your character's eyes and thus make it real. I also like the idea of the same world changing with the character, seen anew as the character changes through the story.

A stroll by the water, whether river, ocean or lake, serves to revive the senses and make us aware of how much we might miss if we don't stop to actually 'see' the world.
Excellent post, INK. Another writer told me not long ago -- always try to bring in the five senses to the description. You have done that with the taste of the water, hearing the sounds, and etc. Great food for thought on a Monday.

...and the rug was pulled out from under our feet. We fell into the river, which looked and felt and sounded and smelled and tasted awful. And our names turned out to be Adam and Eve. Adam the ant and Eve the rhinoceros. But it was all a dream.

You've illustrated how very important it is to remember to include all the details and sensory prompts that we so often take for granted and forget to include in our writing.

- Douglas Morrison said...
Great post. Descriptives are the ties that lift and bind a story. Characters have their colors, but without the sensory presents of the world around them, they fall short.
Most often, the narrative carry's these responsibilties. The character/narrator intersection of scene and detail is definely a favored moment.
Is it a challenge to chose how much detail a character describes? How deeply involved in the immediate or ethereal do you allow a character to become before you lose narrative strength?
Please excuse the questions, but your exceptional post made me do it! :-)

Amazing post with great advice! Sometimes it's hard to just slow down, step back and first imagine the world you are trying to create before actually writing about it.
Imagery can be so difficult to create, but once you do it's so exhilirating because it really is like you just created your own world. :)

I love when Hannah said "you seem to be very familiar with rivers".
Because that's the thing isn't it? You have to be familiar with what you're writing about, or at very least you have to be able to fake it. Write what you know, or at least go out and research or experience it.
You don't really have to go walk down to the river just to write a beautiful piece like this about it. You just have to be sensitive to detail, to perception, to experience, to memory.
Well done Bryan!

You spent 5 paragraphs describing a river. 99% of readers have seen/heard/"sensed" rivers. Describing it in such detail is both boring and insulting. Are we not intelligent enough to know that water is wet and cold?
Also: "the taste of an autumn flowing toward winter." What does this mean? This is the definition of purple prose.
Sorry I can't be as fawning as the rest of the commenters, but I only call 'em like I see 'em.

Good writing makes us look at something we know in a new way and transports to a place we wish we were. I think Bryan succeeded on every count.
- October 19, 2010 at 9:43 AM
Nathan, to each his own, I think it's a textbook example of overwriting. Describe this particular river in a new and interesting way in a sentence or a few words - now that's good writing in my opinion.
Anyway just thought I'd throw out a dissenting opinion.

I love your beautiful description of nature! Have you read TINKERS by Paul Harding? You might really enjoy it. I loved it. It's one of my favorite novels. It's filled with the most gorgeous description, much of it about nature. After lots of rejections from agents, the author stuck it in a drawer for three years, then had TINKERS published by a small indie press, and it went on to win the Pulitzer Prize in Fiction this year. The description in that novel took my breath away.

But sometimes, there are valid reasons to hold back that the rhino is a rhino for a bit.
Think about something like the description of Harry Potter when he wakes up in his cupboard for the first time in his story. The fact that the reader isn't told straight off that this little boy is living in a boot cupboard gives the revelation of that fact more impact.
The scene is no less vivid for holding back that (very) important detail. We still get to know that it's morning and that he's being woken out of a dream and that his Aunt is upset and that it's his cousin's birthday, but the assumption is that he's in bed in a regular bedroom.
Revealing the truth in the way that it's done is a "water in the face" moment that demonstrates things aren't just unusual in this house because Harry's got magic, but even more unusual because this "normal" family has their nephew in a closet.
This, of course, speaks the sequencing. Sometimes that sequence requires a bit of a shock to get the point across. The small clues are there - like the lack of photographs in the house with Harry in them, but the rhino-sized detail of just how horribly this boy is treated is still a secret.
Put the "nothing's changed in 10 years" detail together with the "he slept in a cupboard" detail, and you have a much more powerful image than if the writer had simply started off saying Harry was forced to sleep in the closet. Holding back the key detail shatters the illusion.

Well, I think it's important to mention that this piece is intended to demonstrate the careful unfolding of description.
It is not a chapter in a book - it is a blog entry - a teaching moment - and (I think) a gorgeous one.
It was cool to see a post from Nathan. Welcome back, Nathan! :)

- Nik said...
Yes, welcome back, Nathan! And thanks Bryan for the fill-in which I'm going to read (duly credited) to my writers' circle tomorrow. I'm always pointing out that the words have to offer visualisation of the scene for the reader, and of course using the other senses as appropriate. Of course you don't need to use all the description in your prose to convey the sense of 'being there' - you can pick and choose, depending on the storyline, the wordcount etc. But it is important not to cheat the reader - or skimp on sensory cues.

Guys, there's a way to register a dissenting opinion while still doing it politely. There's no reason to make it personal.
- October 19, 2010 at 1:49 PM
- Bryan Russell (Ink) said...
You don't have to like it. Nothing is liked by everyone. I'm pretty fine with that.
But it's also, obviously, merely an example of how the senses work in fiction, used merely to illustrate a point -- which is why I extended the description so far and used all the senses. It's an example, not a piece of fiction.
As Doug was asking about above, the balance of what to describe, and how, and how much, is always fine. And it's going to vary based on the writer, the characters and the story. In a piece of fiction, rather than an example, the description must always serve the story. It would be a very rare story where a river would be described with such thoroughness, certainly, at least, not at one go.
My idea of good descriptive writing, then, is writing that best suits the story -- and that, of course, is endlessly variable, and will encompass styles both florid and simple. I'm guessing you probably won't like all of them, but then there's no reason you have to.
- October 19, 2010 at 4:53 PM
- Bryan Russell (Ink) said...
I agree. As I mentioned at the end of the post, there are always exceptions - and the important thing about these exceptions is that they're intentional, and that they always have an important point to make. I think a lot of us, though, accidentally break from proper sequencing, which makes for passages that are confused and lack clarity.
I think the important question is to ask what is being sensed, and how? And the how should always have a reason why.

Yes, I read and loved Tinkers. A wonderful little book carried by beautiful prose and precise attention to detail.

Parts of your essay read right out of Deliverance, where James Dickey excelled in describing a river.
Also, Bill Roorbach wrote an entire book on a stream near his house.
And "the taste of an autumn flowing toward winter" is sublime. It's leaves in ponds, cider, the first frost in the fields.

"It's leaves in ponds, cider, the first frost in the fields."
You can taste all that in river water?

No, it's what that line suggests. Like poetry, where the perception becomes more than just facts. Just as Shakespeare found "books in the running brooks, sermons in stones."

Newspapers headline
big political scandal.
Now, along with everything else,
they've made it to the moon!
Only my life consists
of boredome and monotony,
a litter of worksheets
covering the table...
Guilty and hollow is how I feel,
sheer chaos in my heart.
Outside, it's just starting to rain.
I throw my coat on and,
one of Schiller's Romantic leads,
a touch sullen,
a touch sad,
take my slow steps
down a wet, crowded
lost inside myself.

Transfer Lock is a level in the MPH Multiplayer. It is based on the room of the same name in Metroid Prime Hunters. It contains a pyramid and a number of weapons. There are two Portals on the base that lead to corridors that have Jump Pads, which allow access to the pyramid-esque structure. There is a bridge that leads to several hexagon-like structures, where there is no gravity. In other modes excluding Battle and Survival, the arena is enlarged, with the hexagonal structures now serving as entrances and exits to an exposed area. The exposed area has three platforms, which serve as spawning points. From the exposed area there is a view of some of the outer structure of Transfer Lock.
The Imperialist, Battlehammer and Volt Driver are available and can be used here by all Bounty Hunters.
Battle/Survival/Prime HunterEdit
Kanden's maneuverable Stinglarva Alt-Form can traverse all of Transfer Lock's passages with ease, and leave explosives that seek out his closest foes.
- Samus
- Trace
Samus' charged Missiles tear towards targets, giving her the ability to pick off other hunters easily in the wide-open space between Octoliths.
The Nodes are not close to each other, but they are within sight of each other, making node defense easy with the Imperialist. Trace is superior when it comes to his Affinity Weapon.

Democratic presidential front-runner John Kerry rolled to dominating wins in Virginia and Tennessee yesterday, scoring a Southern sweep that knocked rival Wesley Clark out of the race and put the nomination within reach.
Senator Kerry, from Massachusetts easily brushed aside two Southerners, General Clark of Arkansas and John Edwards of North Carolina, to notch his first wins in the South and make the case that he is a national candidate who can unify Democrats and challenge President George Bush in every region.
"Americans are voting for change - East, West, North and now in the South," Senator Kerry said at a victory rally in Fairfax, Virginia. "We will fight for every vote, and we will carry our cause all across this land."
The sweep gave Senator Kerry 12 wins in the first 14 Democratic nominating contests and finished off General Clark, the former NATO commander who decided to end his campaign after two poor third-place finishes yesterday.
It also set up a crucial showdown next Tuesday in Wisconsin, where Senator Kerry's remaining rivals need a win to prove their viability.
General Clark and Senator Edwards focused on Virginia and Tennessee all week in an concerted effort to score strong enough showings to propel them on to Wisconsin.
But Senator Kerry, whose campaign was considered dead barely a month ago until he charged to a win in Iowa, earned more than 50 per cent of the vote in Virginia. Senator Edwards ran a distant second and General Clark a poor third.
In Tennessee, Senator Kerry scored more than 40 per cent of the vote, with Senator Edwards 15 percentage points behind and General Clark in third place.
Senator Edwards flew to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to focus on the next test after lowering expectations all week by saying he would be happy with second-place finishes.
He wants to be the last challenger to Senator Kerry still standing after Wisconsin, when the bulk of the delegates to July's nominating convention will still be up for grabs.
"We're going to have a campaign and an election - not a coronation," Senator Edwards told supporters. He told CNN later that "this race is going to go on for many weeks to come".
General Clark also had promised to push on to Wisconsin no matter what happened yesterday, but after consultations with advisers he will return to his hometown of Little Rock, Arkansas, to formally withdraw.
His withdrawal is a boost for Senator Edwards, who had seen General Clark siphon off some of his support in states like Oklahoma and on Tuesday in Virginia and Tennessee.
Howard Dean, the one-time front-runner and former governor of Vermont, looked past the two Southern states to concentrate on Wisconsin, where he had promised to make a possible last stand against Senator Kerry. On Monday, he said he would stay in the race past Wisconsin, win or lose.
Senator Kerry's only two losses on his drive to the nomination were to Senator Edwards and General Clark last week in South Carolina and Oklahoma, respectively. He has started looking ahead to the fight with President George Bush.
He ignores his rivals at nearly every stop and concentrates his attacks on Mr Bush's economic leadership, his ties to special interests and his shifting justification for going to war in Iraq.
Senator Kerry kept the heat on Mr Bush in his victory speech on Tuesday, attacking his economic policies and his record on civil rights, civil liberties and national defence.
"George Bush, who speaks of strength, has made America weaker - weaker economically, weaker in our health care, weaker in education," Senator Kerry said.

Elijah Wood, Kristen Wiig and Others Have Sought 'Revenge for Jolly'
by Ethan Anderton

It's not often a project remains off the radar long enough to avoid publicity until after the film is wrapped, but such is the case with a new independent comedy from Atlas Independent, a low budget production arm of Atlas Entertainment (the company founded by The Dark Knight producer Charles Roven). Today the company announced wrap on production of their first endeavor, the dramatic dark comedy Revenge for Jolly! from short director Chadd Harbold which stars Oscar Isaac (Drive) and Brian Petsos ("Funny or Die Presents") and an impressive supporting cast in a story that sounds more than a little absurd.
Elijah Wood, Kristen Wiig, Adam Brody, Ryan Phillippe, Kevin Corrigan, Bobby Moynihan, Gillian Jacobs, Garret Dillahunt, and David Rasche also star in this story of the owner (Petsos) of a dog who died under suspicious circumstances thus sending he and his cousin (Isaac) following a series of clues in an attempt to track down the dog's murderer, leaving a path of destruction in their wake. It certainly seems weird that such a crazy twisted story with quite a collection of screen talent stayed off the grid for so long, but I'm betting each of the stars only plays a small role on the path to find the dog's murderer. It's always great to see big time producers like Roven branching out to make films with smaller budgets with filmmaking talent that otherwise wouldn't have the funds. Here's hoping we'll see this film at Sundance in January, if not sometime later next year at another film festival.

Congressman John Delaney has indicated that he is considering running for Governor in 2018. The logical person to replace him in Congress is Andrew Duck. Andrew has been fighting for Democratic and Progressive causes in the Sixth Congressional District for over a decade. He was the Democratic Nominee to run against Republican Roscoe Bartlett in 2006 and 2010, and his efforts led to the redistricting which transformed CD6 from a sure Republican win to a Democratic-leaning district.
Since 2010, Andrew has remained active in Democratic and Progressive causes. Andrew has maintained his efforts to counter the right-wing agenda. Andrew has been a frequent guest on WFMD, the right-wing talk radio station, to present an alternative message. He believes we need to ensure we talk to everyone, not only those who agree with us.
With the election of Donald Trump, Andrew has recognized the need to step up and increase his efforts to advance the Progressive agenda.
Next Steps...
Support Andrew in his run for Congress! Andrew needs to raise enough funds to demonstrate that a progressive candidate can compete in this Congressional race. Donate today!

Me late grandfather's outgoing answering machine message and some messages left on the tape. You can actually see the magnetic deterioration as the tape plays eventually making the third message inaudible. If anyone can retrieve that audio let me know.
I enjoy the sounds from tape and distant voices going down that looong phone wire. :-)
You never cease to amaze me NoiseCollector. Amazing stuff! Much Respect! Keep em coming! I don't know if the end bits can be saved but I'll see what I can do.

Want to undo redirect but not delete blog.
Hi. I have a domain which points to here, wordpress, but I dont want my domain to have anything more to do with that domain (lets say we "broke up"). I tried reading some tutorials, but my domain keeps saying this error and NOT showing any content except this:
Warning! Domain mapping upgrade for this domain not found. Please log in and go to the Domains Upgrades page of your blog to use this domain.
I dont want to delete this blog name, just in case I may need it in the future, but for now I dont want the wordpress blog to have any connection with its www.
I read some tutorial about going to myphpadmin and changing the home/url value and I did so but the warnings keep showing. Should I erase the WHOLE wordpress database on my hosting? The blog is completly empty, I just did it to have the adress so I dont mind erasing the whole worpress thing, except that I want to keep the name (myname.wordpress.com).
Please? Sorry for my english and im a beginner with hosting and server things so be kind 🙂

Plus, I am learning how to do new things as I get into more complicated patterns. I even took a class from a local knitting shop, Kiwi Knitting Company, and was surprised and excited to find out that I wasn't clueless! If you're a Tucson knitter or crocheter I highly recommend this shop. The stock is excellent, the ladies are just wonderful, and the class was really fun. I am going to take the beginning crochet series, but that will have to wait until my darling kiddos are back in school in the fall.
So, what have I been making, you ask? Let me show you.
I made an amigurumi firecracker in the class.
And then started looking up free patterns online. Here are some of our new friends;
This is the princess kitty, made using a pattern by Natural Suburbia. Too cute!
A little bluebird, made using a free pattern from Berroco. I took him out to the bird bath for his photo shoot.

I've been calling this one Pinky's Cousin, it's a gift for my mother-in-law who loves flamingos. (Happy Birthday, Mary!) I found this pattern at Spud & Chloe. This is a fantastic blog.They have so many adorable patterns, I can't wait to knit the frog and the pig!
I also got a request for another one of these owls, pattern by Jenna Krupar found on Ravelry. I have a bunch of these little fellows.
And last but certainly not least....
My son's very own personal minion, Dave. This pattern came from Just Crafty Enough. Love the Pocket Robot pattern too!
In fact, it was hard for me to part with Dave. Not to worry though, my son has already asked for another minion to assist Dave, his name (so I'm told) will be George. I was not very clear on who George would belong to though.
I have started to worry that I may be overrun with amigurumi critters at some point, so I came up with a solution, sharing. Something I ask my kids to do daily. So beware, one day you may get a critter in the mail from me or find one on your doorstep or in your mailbox!

I mostly sell SFX on Audio Jungle. The music that I do put up is just stuff I make here and there for fun. If I didn't throw it up on here, sadly, most of my tracks would just sit in my hard drive collecting (digital?) dust. Times are changing. In the music industry it is changing for the good and the bad- in different ways. The photographer ruined the painter, video killed the radio star.
Ok guys, maybe this has been covered by another post (I didn't read through every reply), but I kind of think the prices (from a customer's point of view) are right on target. Why do I say that? Because the song can only be used in ONE project.
If I purchase a song from somewhere else, I can use it over and over again. So no problem for me paying $50, $100, or $200 for the track. But only one use? Well, if I like your track, I'm going to have to purchase it again and again.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding the license agreement here, but that's how I'm seeing it.
With other music I have in my library, I don't need to "re-purchase". They have metadata attached to them that I can use to file a cue sheet (if needed) that I give to the broadcaster. That gets passed on to the PRO who then pays the author their share. So I can use that song over and over again without taking the time to come back to AJ.
To be honest, I think AJ should have an "unlimited use license". Pay whatever that price is and we use it as many times as we want indefinitely. I'd pay that price for really good tracks.
Just my thoughts…
Hi there!
This is very interesting ideed…now…I'm fairly new here but there's one thing I don't understand…for example:
here in Romania there's one of the biggest IT stores that has kept using one of audiojungle best sellers in their commercials for months…and my question is:
did they pay 14$ and kept using it in the same commercial that was broadcasted on every program? or did they pay 70$ for the extended?
I honestly think that 14$ would be ridiculous…and 70$ would be somewhere low but still fair enough (considering that u can sell an item thousands of times).
It's one thing to buy a regular license and use it in one video for example and it's totally different to use it in a video commercial that runs for months on TV…
and now that I think about it…the extended license is for reselling purposes so in the commercial you are not actually reselling the product…so a regular should be enough…isn't it?
With that said I have to add that I really love AudioJungle because of the opportunities that gives and there's no place else like this. I experience total freedom in my writing music and overall the site is very nicely done.
I hope someone elucidates our doubts
Improvements to the licensing system with different pricing levels for different types of broadcast use are at the very top of my wishlist for AudioJungle. Hopefully soon?
It's a huge issue and AJ and authors are both leaving money on the table.

This was kind of an eye opener considering I probably would have been happy with credit too, but when you hear experience talking it wakes you up quick.

(WBIR) "Tuition Equality Now! All Tennessean students deserve in-state tuition."
That's the message for the latest coat of paint on "The Rock" on the University of Tennessee's Knoxville campus.
A group of UT students and leaders of the Tuition Equality Now campaign came out at 6 a.m. Tuesday to paint the iconic rock, pushing lawmakers to approve legislation that would allow undocumented students to enroll in Tennessee's public universities and be charged in-state tuition. Under the proposal, if someone is not a legal U.S. citizen but has graduated from high school, has an ACT score of 21 or higher and a 3.0 GPA, they would be eligible for in-state tuition.
Currently, Tennessee's law is silent on whether students who arrived in the U.S. as children and lack documentation can attend the state's public colleges, reports The Tennessean. The state, as of right now, leaves the decision whether to accept undocumented students up to the university systems.
Schools affiliated with the University of Tennessee system told The Tennessean they "do not knowingly accept" undocumented students. This includes campuses in Knoxville, Chattanooga, Tullahoma, Martin, and Memphis.
UT said it doesn't have "policies" prohibiting the admission of undocumented immigrants. But as part of it's admission process, UT asks applicants questions related to citizenship as well as the applicant's primary language, federal income tax information and place of birth.
"If the information/documentation is not provided, the applicant is not admitted to the university. Further, if the information provided reveals the applicant is undocumented, the applicant is not admitted," UT spokeswoman Gina Stafford told The Tennessean in an email.
The Tennessee Board of Regents - which includes Middle Tennessee State University, Austin Peay State University, the University of Memphis, and the state's community colleges - places undocumented students in the same pool as out-of-state applicants.
Even though TBR accepts undocumented students, many of them - including Alejandro Guizar - can't afford out-of-state tuition, which is significantly higher than in-state costs. Guizar said he was accepted into Pellissippi State Community College, but couldn't afford the out-of-state tuition.
"I would like to become a lawyer. I feel like with my background, I feel like I would be a good resource for my community. If feel like I could make a lot of change," said Guizar, who helped organize Tuesday's rock painting.
The Senate Finance Committee approved Senate Bill 2115 on a 10-1 vote Tuesday morning, setting it up for a final vote in the Senate as soon as Thursday. Companion legislation will be taken up by the House Finance Committee later this afternoon.
A separate bill would extend in-state tuition to students who are undocumented themselves. That measure also may be discussed this afternoon.

Watching the South Carolina-NC State game. One half in, we've already heard two references to 'SEC speed' from Jesse Palmer (as if the fact that a Southern school like North Carolina is in the ACC means it is automatically slower than a school in a state just below it).
For what it's worth, the fastest guy on that field tonight is T.J. Graham of NC State. Maybe he thought NC State was in the SEC.Powered by Sidelines

- Didn't you just get suspended because of this? Don't go to peoples talk pages to ask if they want to join your network, or If you have a stupid glitch you want to tell them, or ask them what they think of a false myth that you made up. Please man, people don't like that. --Chimpso 06:51, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
No i this has nothing to do with giltchs im talking about the playstation network you know were you can play the ps3 online im asking if he wants to add me as a friend. user--Stephendwan 17:48, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
- You think the warning only includes glitches? I'm talking about spam and harassment in general - unsolicited or random messages or those which are not specific to that person. Asking random people to add you as a friend is spam. BGTAFE - I apologise, this is not the place for such a discussion. Gboyers talk 18:50, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
No im know who he is his my friend here and i know that he has a ps3 and i know that it has a connection online im just asking if he wants to add me (sorry if this counts as a spam but it does not on another wikia). user--Stephendwan 18:53, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Oh then were is the right place for a asking to friend invite then in the forums. user--Stephendwan 11:43, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
Stephen - if he was genuinely a friend, then it would normally be fine (for 1 or 2 people). Although usually you would simply list it on your user page, and if anyone actively wanted to add you, they could. However, because you have a very long track record of unsolicited messages, all these little things add up to a LOT of spam. Gboyers talk 14:09, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
well there's this thing on my userpage called view all friends and you will see that he is my friend and in fact his right infront of it. user--Stephendwan 14:40, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

The American debut of an award-winning novel about a lady's maid's awakening as she journeys from the confines of Victorian England to the uncharted far reaches of Egypt's Nile Valley
When Lady Duff Gordon, paragon of London society, departs for the hot, dry climate of Egypt to seek relief from her debilitating tuberculosis, her lady's maid, Sally, doesn't hesitate to leave the only world she has known in order to remain at her mistress's side. As Sally gets farther and farther from home, she experiences freedoms she has never known—forgoing corsets and wearing native dress, learning Arabic, and having her first taste of romance.
But freedom is a luxury that a lady's maid can ill afford, and when Sally's newfound passion for life causes her to forget what she is entitled to, she is brutally reminded she is mistress of nothing. Ultimately she must choose her master and a way back home—or a way to an unknown future.
Based on the real lives of Lady Duff Gordon and her maid, The Mistress of Nothing is a lush, erotic, and compelling story about the power of race, class, and love

"A highly sensual evocation of place and time, Kate Pullinger's The Mistress of Nothing is a journey down the Nile that explores the subtle complexities of power, race, class and love during the Victorian era.

SAN ANTONIO - Streetcar opponents hoping to hear that City Council members would allow the public to vote on the issue in November were dealt a blow by the San Antonio City Clerk on Wednesday afternoon.
She said based on the city attorney's opinion that the charter amendment petition is invalid, the issue will not be presented to voters in the fall.
The issue: 8,861 signatures did not have the circulator affadavits. While state election officials said that documentation was not necessary, the city attorney saw it differently.
That left just 12,138 signatures valid. That number is short of the 20,000 signatures required to take the issue to a public vote.

|Amherst's Hannon, Zieler, Spinnato, Smith Add to Postseason Accolades
Amherst's Hannon, Zieler Tabbed ECAC Division III All-Star Honorable Mention, Spinnato, Smith Named D3football.com Third-Team All-East Region
December 9 , 2005
AMHERST, MA - Amherst College juniors Mark Hannon (Glen Rock, NJ/Glen Rock) and Ryan Smith (Muskego, WI/Muskego), and seniors Nick Zieler (Chicago, IL/Brother Rice) and L.J. Spinnato (Madison, CT/Daniel Hand) all added to their list of postseason football accolades on Friday, as Hannon and Zieler earned Eastern College Athletic Conference Division III Northeast All-Star Honorable Mention, while Spinnato and Smith took home D3football.com All-East Region honors.
Hannon was named the NESCAC Offensive Player of the Year and claimed first-team all-conference plaudits as a wide receiver and a return specialist after leading the NESCAC in all-purpose yards (1,185), touchdowns (10) and punt return average (10.9). He also ranked among the conference leaders in several other categories including receptions (32), receiving yards (516) and punt average (33.9). A versatile threat all-season, Hannon lined up at wide receiver, running back, quarterback and punt and kick returner, and he found the end zone in a variety of ways, hauling in four through the air, scoring five on the ground and one by way of punt return.
Zieler was also a First-Team All-NESCAC honoree after an outstanding
year in the Amherst secondary. He posted 26 tackles, an interception
and five pass breakups, while delivering some of the most menacing
hits in New England this season. Spinnato claimed his second straight
First-Team All-NESCAC honor after a career-season at nose guard.
He finished with 49 tackles, good for 31st in the conference and
fourth on the team, and also racked up 4.5 tackles-for-loss, a
sack, a fumble recovery and a blocked kick. The pair led the Jeffs
to the fifth-ranked defense in the nation, surrendering 240.1 yards
per game and only 12.3 points per game. The Jeff secondary also
boasted the No. 10 pass efficiency defense in the country (87.9).
The Jeffs finished 5-3 on the season.

R2D2 from Star Wars: Decorate a box. Put the box or part cloth/part cardboard over your head, cut armholes, big enough to fit over a good part of chair. The wheels and being lower to the ground are part of the costume.
Head on a Platter: Use a cardboard box with cutout for neck with only head sticking thru. A fake knife, scissors and surgery implements all glued on top of blue surgery paper draped down over the box. Paint face and put on a wig to top it off.
Prince, princess, king or queen: Convert your chair into a throne by wrapping the back, seat and arm rests with gold foil, gold or royally striped cloth, all held together at the seams with hot glue. If you want, wrap the hand rails and/or spokes with gold tape. Glue on some plastic gems found at a crafts store. Then you can take a royal outfit and transform yourself into a ruling monarch. If a friend wants to participate, have them dress up too and fan you with a big plastic palm and feed you grapes all night long!
Cowboy/Cowgirl: Cardboard (twin size mattress box) -rope -long hair costume wig -nontoxic poster paint. No cowboy or cowgirl should be without their trusty horse. This costume is easier than it sounds and the finished horse slides right over the chair attaching to the armrests with ties. Beginning with a paper pattern draw the side of a horse to fit the dimensions of your chair (this way you won't waste cardboard). Be sure it won't drag on the ground. Make the head separate and attach it to the neck with lots of glue gunning and duct tape. Cut the neck long enough to be bent in to meet the head. A piece of cardboard also connected the back end of the horse. The fun part is decorating. Choose the colors of the paint and mane. Get a really cheap long wig and cut it to make the tail and mane which you glue gunned in place. Yeehawww!
Aladdin: Cardboard -small inexpensive carpet -fringe (optional) -blue streamers -white sweat pants -cotton batting or polyester Fiberfil. Lots of kids were Aladdin or Jasmine this year, but did they have a flying carpet. This costume shows one more use for lap trays as the flying carpet with stuffed legs rested on top of the tray. To give the rug support glue gun it to two pieces of sturdy cardboard. Cut the cardboard pieces to the size of the carpet with an opening cut out around the waist. A slit is cut through all layers of carpet and cardboard to make flaps that could be bent up to allow the carpet to slide easily off. If you want you can also just leave the back open. To make the legs, stuff sweat pants with fiberfill. Sew or glue gun the patch and sash to pants. Position the stuffed legs folded on the carpet and glue gun in place. You can add other Aladdin objects as you want. Make "genie type" shoes from gold material but they can also be found at costume stores. To give the effect of the sky and to hide the child's real legs, glue strips of blue streamers around the carpet.
Superman/woman: Superman costume -large cardboard box -nontoxic poster paint -cotton batting or polyester fiberfill. Almost every child wants to be a super hero for Halloween. With the wheelchair you are able to make yours look like they are flying. Start with a Superman costume and cut in half at the waist. Stuff the legs with the batting, you'll need a large bag. To pose the legs, put a flexible heavy-duty wire down both legs so they could be bent. Finding a box the right size can be tricky. You can make one by cutting four sides out of an appliance or small mattress box, glue gunning the sides together and taping over corners. It will have to clear the wheels, fit through a door and be able to be taken off easily. Paint any skyscape scene, add clouds of batting and attach the legs through a hole cut in the back of the box The entire box can be attached to the chair by cutting slits for ties to loop through and tie or loop over armrests and frame. Note of safety: if your child can tear off the batting and put in his/her mouth, it would be a better idea to just paint on the clouds.
George Of The Jungle: Chicken wire -approx. 8' light weight rope -brown non toxic poster paint -plastic vine to cover rope -assortment of live fern and leaves -assortment of rubber snakes and lizards -glue mixture of equal parts water and white glue -Tarzan costume -2 panels of green felt. This is an elaborate creation. To get the full effect of the jungle make a tree complete with a swinging vine attached with a bunjy cord to the back of the chair. To make the tree start with a chicken wire form. This is easy to roll and shape for the trunk. Do the same for the branch. Use smaller pieces of chicken wire and connect the branch to the trunk through a hole in the trunk and fasten it with wire. Feed a long piece of rope up through the tree and out a hole in the branch. The rope is secured at the base of the tree. The wire frame is then covered with strips of newspaper dipped in a watered down glue mixture. You may need two layers. When dry the tree can be painted with poster paint. The "vine rope" can also be stained with poster paint. The really fun part of this costume is decorating the tree and chair. Glue gun leaves from bushes in your yard to the tree as well as some plastic vines. Choose several lizards and snakes and attach as well. For the chair, velcro 2 panels of green felt to the sides of the chair. Glue gun ferns and large leaves from yard. These don't stay fresh for more than a day but its much less expensive than the plastic ones. There are lots of available Tarzan type costumes and fake furs available at fabric stores. Topping this costume off is a hidden tape player connected to a switch that can be used to turn on the sound track of the movie.
Bulldozer: Cardboard boxes -nontoxic paint -paper towels -tape -twist-ties or string -paper fasteners.
There are 4 parts:
Page Top
Diver: Borrow a diving mask and fins blending the tube into your disguise. Dress in a wet suit if you can, or dye long underwear gray to make a suit. Cover the wheelchair with blue material and glue on construction-paper or foil-covered fishes. Put them on yourself as well as the chair.
Snake Charmer: Decorate the respirator tube to look like a snake and dress yourself with an exotic costume complete with turban. Cover the chair with royal blue or other rich-colored fabric, add some decorations, and away you go. Don't forget your snake charming horn!
Page Top
Basic Materials: Exacto knife -Glue gun and lots of glue sticks -Tape (duct tape works the best) -Velcro -Thick elastic strips of an old sheet as ties to connect objects to the chair -Cardboard , ask your local moving company (used mattress or appliance boxes work well) -cotton batting or polyester Fiberfil -Toxic free poster paints.
Page Top
Safety First: Be sure that whatever you attach to the wheelchair can be easily and swiftly removed. Also use nontoxic paints and don't attach sharp objects or things that a child may take off and put in their mouths. Be sure that what you make can fit through a standard door. The caution in any wheelchair outfit, of course, is keeping it out of the wheels. Therefore, long flowing gowns won't work. But any outfit can be tucked in around the legs.

GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP - The Richard Stockton College women's basketball team opened the season Tuesday with a special achievement.
Stockton pulled away to a 76-48 win over visiting Kean University, breaking a 13-game losing streak to the Cougars that went back to the 2005-2006 season.
Senior Che'Na Thompson, a 5-foot-8 guard/forward, led Stockton with 20 points, and also had six rebounds and a game-high four steals.
Senior guard Sarah Gibbs, a former Ocean City High School standout, scored 13 points and dished out a career-high 10 assists in her first game as an Osprey. Gibbs transferred from Manhattanville College (N.Y.).
Sophomore Alex Nardoza, a 5-10 guard/forward, scored a career-high 13 points. Nardoza made 7-of-8 free throws in the second half. Kelsey Brown, Stockton's tallest player at 6-2, added 12 points, six rebounds and a game-high four blocks.
It was a late start to the season for the Ospreys. Kean fell to 1-2.
"We'e very happy to start out with a win. We had 28 practices to get ready," Stoctkon coach Joe Fussner said. "We would have much rather start off with a tip-off tournament, but it that didn't work out. We'll make that up during the season."
Kean is on probation from the New Jersey Athletic Conference and is also banned this year from the postseason due to NCAA rule violations. The Cougars are rebuilding, with four sophomore starters, including Shay Collins, an Atlantic City High School graduate who had five rebounds.
"Kean is currently going through a lot in transition," Fussner said. "They're very athletic, and it's nice to be able to be able to hold your own against them."
Thompson shot 8-of-14 from the field and had five assists.
"I'm very happy because I've never beaten (Kean)," said Thompson, a Salem resident. "It was an accomplishment for myself and the whole team. I was a little surprised. They play a run and gun, and they did that today too, but their talent and youth were exposed."
Gibbs was 3-of-4 in 3-point attempts and also had five rebounds.
"I felt great," said Gibbs, a resident of Ocean View in Upper Township. "We've had a lot of practices, and when you spend that much time together you get chemistry. We're happy to play a game. I didn't even know the assists was a career high until they just told me. I don't pay much attention to stats."
Stockton built a 13-5 lead in the opening minutes as Gibbs scored seven points and Thompson had four. The Ospreys' lead increased to 10 points at 23-13 and 25-15. Caitlin Orlando hit Kean's only 3-pointer with more than two minutes before halftime to cut the lead to 25-18, but Stockton freshman Ta'Yon Morgan-Jones hit a basket which started a 13-2 Ospreys run that went into the second half.
Kean's top player was 5-foot-6 sophomore AnnaRose Pierre, who scored 30 points, mostly with drives to the basket. Pierre, who also had a game-high 15 rebounds, scored 20 of her team's 28 points in the second half.
Stockton's next game is on Nov. 28 with a 6 p.m. game at The College of New Jersey in Ewing Township.

Pinellas County super seven
1. Largo (1-0): The shutout of Northeast is the Packers' 18th straight regular-season victory, a streak that currently ranks as the best in the county and dates to 2011.
2. Clearwater Central Catholic (1-0): The defense gets most of the headlines, but the 48-10 win against Naples Lely is the third straight regular-season game dating to last year in which the offense has scored 40 points or more.
3. East Lake (1-0): Not only did the Eagles beat rival PHU for the sixth straight time counting the playoffs, but they also recorded their first shutout since 2009.
4. Countryside (1-0): Despite taking a heavy hit with graduation, the Cougars were able to pull through in a win over Lakewood, a team many predicted to make a state title run.
5. Pinellas Park (1-0): The running game was dominant and diverse as five players each scored a touchdown in a shutout of visiting Boca Ciega.
6. Lakewood (0-1): Though they are talented as anyone at the skill positions, the Spartans have to find the right personnel in the kicking game if they are to be serious playoff contenders.
7. Tarpon Springs (1-0): Granted it was against beleagured Clearwater, but the Spongers' 58-0 season-opening victory is a good start for a young team on the rise.
Sam Roper honored
Prior to Seminole's season-opening game against Osceola, former long-time head coach Sam Roper was honored for his service to the school and presented with a framed Seminole jersey adorned with the No. 28, the amount of years Roper coached the Warhawks.
Roper, the third coach in Seminole history, took over the Warhawks football program in 1985 and remained at the helm until retiring in April.
Roper led the Warhawks to undefeated regular seasons in 1999 and 2001. Seminole won three district championships and made five playoff appearances under Roper. The veteran coach's most successful season came in 2001 when he guided the Warhawks to the Class 5A region finals.
Roper's 117 career victories rank him in the top 10 for all-time wins among Pinellas County coaches.
Top performers
Michael Ford, Tarpon Springs: Though he was the second-leading rusher on his team, Ford made his carries count by scoring four touchdowns.
Jarvis Stewart, Largo: Stewart scored five touchdowns, the longest of which was 8 yards, in the Packers 46-0 win over Northeast.
Weston Fordham, East Lake: The biggest benefactor of the Eagles' dominant play up front was Fordham, who rushed for 132 yards on seven carries and scored twice in a 49-0 victory over rival PHU.
Martin Turowski, Countryside: The kicker came up big against Lakewood. Turowski kicked three field goals, including two in the fourth quarter, to help the Cougars upset Lakewood 15-13.
Givanni Gonzalez, Dunedin: Not only did Gonzalez throw for 205 yards and two touchdowns against Dixie Hollins, but he also scored on a two-point conversion in overtime to clinch the Falcons' 42-41 overtime win.
Five things to look forward to
1. Big-time matchups: There are several big games this week. Largo hosts East Lake in a battle between two of the top three teams in the county. Clearwater Central Catholic travels to Tampa Catholic in a game between former district rivals that could be a preview of the Class 3A state championship. And Indian Rocks Christian hosts Carrollwood Day in a pivotal game that could determine the champion and runnerup in Class 2A, District 5.
2. WWLD (What will Lakewood do?): The Spartans are not going to have a good week. After much hype during the summer, they might be hanging their heads in the halls after a loss to Countryside. If the Spartans are really a state contender, they take their frustrations out on Palmetto.
3. Back on top: The Cougars were supposed to crash back down to earth this season. Maybe not. They play at Bradenton Southeast, which lost to Lakewood Ranch this week. Countryside could start 2-0.
4. Tarpon turnaround: After going 3-7 last year, the Spongers retooled their defense. It showed with a shutout of Clearwater in the opener. Now, Tarpon will try to make it two in a row against Osceola, which has won the past two in the series.
5. A win please: Boca Ciega and Palm Harbor University, who square off this week, were both shut out in their season openers. Each desperately needs a win to gain confidence before district play begins.
By the numbers
5 Teams shut out in Week 1, including three St. Petersburg public schools: Gibbs (33-0 to St. Petersburg), Northeast (46-0 to Largo) and Boca Ciega (35-0 to Pinellas Park).
2 Coaches making their debut who won Friday. Todd Yoder at Calvary Christian and Denis Gillen at Dunedin. Gibbs (Rick Kravitz), Clearwater (Donnie Abraham), Seminole (Chris Miller), Keswick (Blake Engelhart) and Admiral Farragut (Ryan Hearn) all lost.
799 Combined total yards for Dunedin and Dixie Hollins in Friday's double-overtime thriller.
Final five words
Countryside's demise is greatly exaggerated.
Correspondent Bryan Burns contributed to this report.

Why should your business take action on mental health? Here are some compelling reasons.
Untreated mental health conditions cost Australian employers $10.9 billion every year through absenteeism, reduced productivity and compensation claims.
Other effects of a mentally unhealthy workplace include poor morale and staff engagement, high staff turnover and potential penalties for breaches of work health and safety legislation.
The business's reputation is also at risk among potential clients, customers and employees.
Research by Pricewaterhouse Coopers has shown that for every dollar you spend creating a mentally healthy workplace will, on average, have a positive return on investment (ROI) of 2.3.
Taking a proactive approach to mental health builds your reputation as an employer of choice, helping you recruit and retain the best and brightest people.
Research by Instinct and Reason found that three-quarters of Australian employees say a mentally healthy workplace is important when looking for a job.

I promised myself I'd put the following into email while its still fresh, so
here goes... Hopefully others perusing the archives in the future will find
it useful!
Goal: get my Soekris 4521 running a distro together with a Senoa card that
connects my DSL connection to my house LAN and neighborhood WLAN (wireless
Approx steps and gotchas along the way:
My previous config had a DSL modem into a Sonicwall into a hub. My LAN
ran from the hub along with an Orinoco RG-1100 in bridging mode. The
Sonicwall did DHCP and NAT for everyone and provided basic logs and
management for me. Here's how I transitioned (leaving out some of the blind
alleys, except to warn about them).
First - router setup
My first goal was to get the Soekris going as a router, leaving the
bridged Orinoco running as-is. I have a single static IP from my ISP and NAT
my lan to the 10.0.0.x subnet and the Sonicwall at 10.0.0.1 as the gateway.
Accordingly I did NOT install the Senao wireless card at this point.
I flashed the CF, booted and puzzled a little while over the console. Then I
chose option 2 to reassign the LAN address. I chose 10.0.0.190 which was
unused on my LAN. Plugged the Eth0 (right hand) Soekris port into my LAN.
After restart I could then use my web browser to do the rest and ignore the
rest of the console options (for now). So far, very sweet!
Under System - General Setup I entered my DNS info.
Then I went to the LAN interface and changed it to 10.0.0.1 with a bit
length of 24. Note that I puzzed over the bitlength for a while, being much
more used to specifying a subnet like: 255.255.255.0. I did NOT reboot at
this point (the warning message is a nice touch, thanks!)
Then I went to the WAN, chose static, entered my IP and again chose 24 bit.
Added the gateway (from my ISP). WARNING: the default value of 31 led me
astray for a good 20 mins here. Several reboots and test ping errors from
the Diagnostics menu of 'sendto: cannot reach host' (or similar?) later I
finally realized that trying to reach an external gateway of x.x.x.1 wasn't
going to work from x.x.x.226 with a bit length of 31. Switching to 24 fixed
everything nicely. Phew! Left the 'block private networks' option checked.
I turned on DNS forwarder just for kicks (though I puzzled a while over
whether this was a DNS cache or not and finally decided it was).
Also turned on DHCP. Here I was sad to find that I couldn't assign static
IPs via DHCP based on MAC addresses, but, hey, what do you want for nothing!
(I have good intentions of making that my first contribution to m0n0wall...
and the world is paved with good intentions right?).
Rebooted and connected the Soekris ETH1 to the DSL modem. Disconnected the
Sonicwall from the hub (so its 10.0.0.1 address didn't conflict)
Lots of nice flashing lights. Hurray! Quick check of the wet-11s showed they
still had connectivity (problemmatic devices, but handy in this case).
In short, except for the detour with the WAN address length, very
Oh, another gotcha. I tried an older distro and was briefly confused because
refreshing my browser didn't update the release date. Closing/opening all IE
windows fixed that. Trap for beginners - haven't been caught by that in a
Second - Wireless LAN setup
Adding the wireless lan to the mix was, in hindsight, quite easy.
1) Plug the wireless card in
2) reboot
3) at the console choose option (1) and set OPT1 to wi0
Step (3) is vital. By default the wi0 will NOT be assigned to OPT1 and
you'll look a long time in the webGUI and not find it!
4) reboot again and go into the GUI. Now there's a new menu option under
interfaces "OPT1".
5) Enable the Option 1 interface (yep, missed that the first time round, and
the 2nd)
6) I set the description to "WLAN".
7) Bridge with "LAN". (Not sure why you want to bridge with WAN - just if
you want a plain bridge I guess - but by trial and error I worked out I
didn't want to!). Left IP blank.
8) Set mode to "hostap", set the SSID (in my case to the same one the
Orinoco had been using)
Clicked Save, rebooted. Done.
Well, almost done. I first had to figure out I'd used the AUX antenna
connector instead of the main for my omni and unplug my Orinoco as it was
now interfering. But then the Status Wireless started showing interesting
things, as did Status Interfaces.
That's it (I think...). I hope this helps someone else! Thanks SO much to
the folks who have made this possible. It really is a stellar system in so
many ways (e.g., being able to get an XML config file is awesome - as is the
ability to ftp a new image). Very nice!
cheers, michael

WAP4410N Continues to drop Connections after New Firmware Update
Will Cisco ever get it right? I have 8 WAP4410N's and continue to have problems with them dropping connections periodically through out the day. We have programs that run across the the AP's and we cannot afford to keep losing data because they drop. Is there going to be another Firmware update anytime soon that will finally fix this issue. I have tried everything that has been prescribed and continue to have issues.
