Behringer Ultragraph Pro FBQ3102 Product Description
Professional audio engineers have known for decades that a good EQ makes all the difference in how a performance is perceived. Although multi-band graphic equalizers have been around for a long time, they have changed very little… until now! The ULTRAGRAPH FBQ-PRO FBQ3102 takes the graphic equalizer a giant leap forward technologically, providing robust feature sets and our proprietary FBQ Feedback Detection System – at a price that makes them a must-have for anyone who records or operates a live sound system.
The low-frequency sound range requires special attention. That's why the FBQ3102 features ultra-precise, variable High- and Low-Cut filters on each channel, with a sweepable frequency that helps remove non-essential bass content, such as floor rumble, room resonance and electrical hum, etc., which really uses up your power amp's headroom. This added high-precision control gives the FBQ3102 the power to accurately fine-tune your system's overall sound, creating crystal clear and dynamic output – with incredibly tight and punchy bottom-end!
Speaking of special low-frequency tools, the FBQ3102 also has a dedicated subwoofer output with an adjustable (30 – 200 Hz) cut-off frequency. Balanced XLR Outs are provided so you can connect to power amps or directly to your active subwoofers, without any additional hardware.

Australia Sees a Rise in the Use of "Ice"
An increasing number of people in Bendigo, which is located in Australia, have been seeking help for their addiction to methamphetamine. According to BendigoAdvertiser.com.au, local drug rehabilitation services have seen a sharp rise in the number of patients addicted to the drug.
The stimulant, known as "Ice", had become the cool "new kid on the block." Police have also noticed an increase in crime that is related to the use and addiction of methamphetamine. Carl Saes, who manages the Salvation Army's statewide Bridge Program that offers a six-week intensive rehab for adults ages 18 to 30, claims that Ice has become a problem all over the state. He said, "I have seen an increase in Melbourne and I can see it coming into country towns. You see the change from ecstasy use to ice because it's cheap and nasty and keeps you going for a few days."
Bendigo Community Health Service's general manager of primary health and integrated care Cheryl Sobczyk claims to have seen this increase in ice use and addiction rise sharply in the last 18 months. She said, "In this current environment most of the crystal meth is coming out of Melbourne and the dealers are very resourceful and a little bit intimidating in the way they market and sell their drug. It's how they sell the drug, too- they put it up as a better drug, more so than ecstasy. They might say it has a quicker effect, a more sustained effect, you get more bang for your buck." But, according to Cheryl, it is that "bang" that becomes the problem. It is more potent, and also more addicting.
Youth Support and Advocacy Services manager Kerry Donaldson claims her service has seen a rise in the number of people under 21 who are using Ice. She thinks the surge is partly due to the fact that it is often smoked, rather than injected or snorted, which removes some of the stigma. She said, "Then all of the sudden they find they can't do it without it and they start getting agitated, picking fights with family and friends and having problems at work."

Perhaps we should stop complaining about the lack of inspiring leaders, and instead take a long look in the mirror.
President Obama, the quintessential self-made man, preaches the importance of government assistance and community to help overcome adversity. Governor Romney, the quintessential patrician, preaches self-reliance, that government is never the answer, and individuals must take responsibility for their own success or failure.
Whatever you think of President Obama's politics, admire his life's story. A bi-racial child (born at a time when many American states considered his parents' relationship a criminal offense) whose father abandoned the family, Obama grew up in various step-homes, and ultimately was raised by his grandparents.
It took a huge amount of work, discipline and tough choices for President Obama to make the leap from that background to the presidency. As we look at the least fortunate third of American society, we see a group that, in many cases, lacks discipline and has made bad choices.

Inference of reticulate evolutionary histories by maximum likelihood: the performance of information criteria
Proceedings of the Tenth Annual Research in Computational Molecular Biology (RECOMB) Satellite Workshop on Comparative Genomics
Tenth Annual Research in Computational Molecular Biology (RECOMB) Satellite Workshop on Comparative Genomics
Maximum likelihood has been widely used for over three decades to infer phylogenetic trees from molecular data. When reticulate evolutionary events occur, several genomic regions may have conflicting evolutionary histories, and a phylogenetic network may provide a more adequate model for representing the evolutionary history of the genomes or species. A maximum likelihood (ML) model has been proposed for this case and accounts for both mutation within a genomic region and reticulation across the regions. However, the performance of this model in terms of inferring information about reticulate evolution and properties that affect this performance have not been studied.
In this paper, we study the effect of the evolutionary diameter and height of a reticulation event on its identifiability under ML. We find both of them, particularly the diameter, have a significant effect. Further, we find that the number of genes (which can be generalized to the concept of "non-recombining genomic regions") that are transferred across a reticulation edge affects its detectability. Last but not least, a fundamental challenge with phylogenetic networks is that they allow an arbitrary level of complexity, giving rise to the model selection problem. We investigate the performance of two information criteria, the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC), for addressing this problem. We find that BIC performs well in general for controlling the model complexity and preventing ML from grossly overestimating the number of reticulation events.
Our results demonstrate that BIC provides a good framework for inferring reticulate evolutionary histories. Nevertheless, the results call for caution when interpreting the accuracy of the inference particularly for data sets with particular evolutionary features.
W. Maddison proposed a likelihood framework for inferring species trees by simultaneously accounting for evolutionary events within loci (that is, mutations at the nucleotide level) and across loci (that is, gene tree incongruence)
When reticulate evolutionary events occur among species, the species phylogeny takes the shape of a
Our results show that, under the conditions we investigate, ML performs well in terms of estimating inheritance probabilities, and less so in determining the location, or placement, of reticulation edges. They also show that the diameter, inheritance probability, and number of gene data sets used combined have a significant effect on the performance. We find that BIC, and to a lesser extent AIC, performs very well in terms of model selection and preventing ML from grossly overestimating the amount of reticulation.
Phylogenetic networks and trees
While the phylogenetic network model is general enough to allow for modeling all types of reticulate evolutionary events, such as hybrid speciation, recombination, and horizontal gene transfer (HGT), the semantics of the model change based on the specific evolutionary events allowed

In this section, we investigate the effects of topological properties of reticulation events on the performance of an ML approach to phylogenetic network inference. Further, we study the performance of ML in terms of estimating the inheritance probabilities from sequence data, and then investigate how the two information criteria perform in terms of estimating the number of reticulation events in a data set. For the synthetic data we analyze here, we used the PhyloGen program

Consider a set

For our second experiment, we generated data as above, yet scored the probabilities of the sequence data on trees that differ from the true underlying tree in a single reticulation event that varies across trees in terms of its height. Unlike the diameter, the height does not seem to have much of an effect on the probabilities beyond the decrease as compared to the probability of the sequences on the true tree (height 0). Results are omitted due to space limitation.
Performance of ML in determining the placement and probability of reticulation edges
In our second set of experiments, we set out to investigate how ML performs in terms of identifying the location of a reticulation edge as well as the inheritance probability that indicates the fraction of genes (non-recombining regions) that were transferred across that edge. We considered three independent evolutionary scenarios, each involving a single reticulation edge of a certain diameter, as shown in Fig.
Figure 2
(a) Three evolutionary histories, each involving the same underlying tree (black lines) and a single reticulation edge from the set of three reticulation edges 1, 2, and 3
(a) Three evolutionary histories, each involving the same underlying tree (black lines) and a single reticulation edge from the set of three reticulation edges 1, 2, and 3. The diameters of the three reticulation edges 1, 2, 3 are 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5, respectively. (b,c) The performance of ML for estimating the inheritance probabilities on data simulated with a single reticulation event. The genome size corresponds to the number of gene data sets used in the inference. Each panel contains three segments, corresponding to three different values of true inheritance probabilities: 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5. The inheritance probabilities
To answer the two questions, we generated sequence data as follows: For an inheritance probability
To investigate how ML performs in terms of estimating the inheritance probability, we fixed all elements of the model and only inferred the inheritance probability. That is, in this part, we assumed knowledge of the correct placement of the reticulation edge, and inferred the value of its associated
There are several points to make. The diameter of the reticulation edge has a great effect on the accuracy of the estimated probabilities. For the largest diameter (
For studying the performance of ML in terms of placing the postulated reticulation edges, we used the data generated as described above along with the underlying (species) tree, as shown in Fig.

The accuracy of the placement of the inferred reticulation edge in terms of the RF distance
Genome size

Genome size
The genome size corresponds to the number of gene data sets used in the inference. The three diameters correspond to the three networks of Fig. 2.
The results show a very strong effect of the diameter of the true reticulation event on the postulated placement of the inferred one. Holding the inheritance probability and genome size constant, we observe a significant increase in the error as the diameter increases. For example, when using 10 genes and with inheritance probability of 0.1, the error in the placement of the reticulation event increases from 0.6 for diameter 0.5 to 5.6 for diameter 1.5. The same trend holds across all parameter values. This result indicates that confidence in the placement of an inferred reticulation event based on ML decreases as the diameter of the inferred event increases. On the more positive side, and with the exception of diameter 1.5 and inheritance probability of 0.1, increasing the number of genes drastically improves the accuracy of the placement. It is not surprising that for
These results highlight an important issue in detecting reticulations using ML. If reticulation is a hybridization or hybrid speciation event, where a large number of genes may be exchanged or transferred across a reticulation edge (that is, a high value of
Model selection under ML and the performance of information criteria
Now that we have explored the effect of diameter on the performance of ML in terms of estimating the placement of reticulation edges along with their associated probabilities, we turn our attention to a most crucial issue with this model, as well as with phylogenetic networks in general, namely model selection. Here, we will investigate how ML does in estimating the correct number of reticulation edges and how, when augmented with information criteria, it performs. Let us denote by
In our first experiment, we set out to investigate how both criteria perform when the data set has no reticulations. We used an experimental setup as above, where we generated 50 sequence data sets based on the (species) tree of Fig.
We now turn our attention to the case of a single reticulation, yet with three different diameters and three different inheritance probabilities, as shown in Fig.
These results, combined with the analysis above, indicate that inspecting both the change in the likelihood score itself, as well as the information criteria value may be valuable in determining, for real data sets, the true number of reticulations. An important trend to notice also is that the improvement in the likelihood score decreases when overestimated reticulations are added. Further, the inheritance probability has a clear effect on the performance: the higher the probability, the higher the improvement of the likelihood score becomes, especially as compared to the improvements when overestimating. This again points to the conclusion that it is easier to detect hybridization or hybrid speciation events, where many genes support a reticulation edge, than horizontal gene transfer events involving very small number of genes.
Results on a biological data set
Unlike synthetic data, where the full evolutionary history is known, biological data sets pose several challenges, including the often unknown evolutionary history. In this section, we analyze a 15-taxon dataset of plastids, cyanobacteria, and proteobacteria, which is a subset of the dataset considered by
Figure 3
Results on the
Results on the
In this paper, we studied the performance of ML for identifying reticulation events from sequence data, based on the formulation given in Eq. (1). We showed through simulation studies that the evolutionary diameter, and to a lesser extent, the height of a reticulation edge affects the performance in terms of estimating the inheritance probability (which reflects the proportion of genes transferred across a reticulation edge) and postulating a placement for the reticulation edge. We showed that increasing the number of genes improves the performance as well. We then investigated the performance of two information criteria, AIC and BIC, and found that BIC in general performs well in terms of model selection and preventing ML from overestimating the number of reticulation edges. Both AIC and BIC produced reasonable results on a biological data set. In this paper, we simulated data on "caterpillar" trees. We will conduct analyses that use other tree shapes to study whether the results hold there as well.
It is important to stress again that the framework, as given by Eq. (1), that we investigated here assumes reticulation as the only source of heterogeneity in the evolution of the sequence data. However, in practice, other events may take place and the model needs to be modified accordingly. In particular, if events such as
Another issue that is of great significance when dealing with reticulation is taxon sampling. As we showed above, the location of the donor node has a significant impact on the detectability of a reticulation edge. When analyzing data sets in practice, particularly prokaryotic data, it may easily be the case that the true donor of the horizontally transferred is not in the data set being analyzed. Therefore, beyond our findings here about the power of ML to infer the placement of a reticulation edge, one has to be cautious about interpreting the placement of a computationally inferred reticulation edge.
A third issue is that while the term reticulation encompasses all types of evolutionary events that are not vertical, there is a clear distinction between, for example, the exchange of a genomic regions through homologous recombination in bacteria and a hybrid speciation event that gives rise to a new species in plants. The amount of genetic material transferred across a reticulation edge in the latter case is much larger than that of in the former. In a phylogenomic study involving thousands of gene families, identifying a reticulation edge that might have been used in the transfer of a single gene might be confounded by the overwhelming vertical signal supported by the remaining genes. Consequently, more confidence can be associated with inferences in cases where a large number of genes support a reticulation edge.
When gene trees are estimated with confidence, one can replace Eq. (1) by
Finally, we showed in this manuscript that if the improvement ratio in the likelihood score by adding a reticulation edge is beyond

Measuring Yield
While the stated (nominal) interest rate on a bond might appear to be the only measure of a bond yield, it is only accurate if you buy a bond at par (or its face value) and hold it until the bond matures. However, many investors buy bond at price above or below par, and many sell prior to maturity.
The following measures are used to reflect these circumstances:
- Yield to Maturity - YTM
- The return based on the actual purchase price of the bond
- Takes any premium or discount over par into account and uses the actual time to maturity for the number of compounding periods
- If an investor buys a bond at a price below its par value (at a discount), then its YTM will be greater than its stated interest rate (also known as its coupon rate).
- If an investor buys a bond above its par value (at a premium), then its YTM will be lower than its coupon rate.
- If the bond was purchased at par, the yield to maturity will equal the stated coupon rate.
For $976 James Smith buys a bond with a face value of $1,000 and a 6% coupon rate. What will his yield to maturity be?
- 6%
- Less than 6%
- More than 6%
- Unable to calculate based on given information
Answer: The correct answer is "c". When an investor buys a bond at a discount to its face value, the yield to maturity will exceed the coupon rate.
- Yield to Call
- Similar to YTM but uses the call date for the number of compounding periods and incorporates any call premium into the future value
- A callable bond is one that allows the issuer the right to demand the bond back from an investor prior to maturity. The investor is paid the bond's face value plus a premium to partly compensate the investor for the loss of the future coupon payments on the bond. Typically, the investor must reinvest the proceeds at a lower rate of return than the rate of return earned prior to the call.
- The YTC on a particular bond usually will be less than its yield to maturity because there are fewer coupon payments and fewer compounding periods.
- Similar to YTM but uses the call date for the number of compounding periods and incorporates any call premium into the future value
- Current Yield
- Simply, the annual income divided by the market value of the bond
- If the bond is trading at a premium, the current yield will be less than the nominal yield.
- If the bond is trading at a discount, the current yield will be greater than the nominal yield.
Current Yield = Annual Income ÷ Market Value
Example: A bond with a $1,000 face value and a 5.5% coupon rate currently trades at $984. What is its current yield?
Current yield = $55/$984 = .056 or 5.6%.
- Real interest rate
- The rate the investor receives after inflation is taken into account; in essence, the real interest rate equals the nominal interest rate minus the inflation rate. (This equation will give you an approximate real interest rate; the precise equation is more complicated but is not needed for the Series 65 exam.)
- The inflation premium is typically higher for bonds with longer maturities.
- The rate the investor receives after inflation is taken into account; in essence, the real interest rate equals the nominal interest rate minus the inflation rate. (This equation will give you an approximate real interest rate; the precise equation is more complicated but is not needed for the Series 65 exam.)
|Real interest rate = Nominal Interest Rate - Inflation Rate
Exam Tips and Tricks
Consider this sample question:
- A client buys a DEF 10% bond at 105. The bond matures in 10 years. What is the current yield?
- 10.17%
- 9.52%
- 9.69%
- 9.13%
The correct answer is "b", since current yield is found by dividing the annual interest payment (in this case 10% or $100) by the current market price (in this case 105% or $1,050). Note that bond par values are most often $1000. Whether or not you know this value, it will not affect the answer, since you can merely divide the coupon in % terms by the price in % terms.
Comparing Yield To Maturity And The Coupon RateInvestors base investing decisions and strategies on yield to maturity more so than coupon rates.

What does it take to get women at the top? – Sex Balancing Party Leaderships
Responding to the debate about Labour's Shadow Cabinet earlier this week, leading experts in gender and politics, Professor Sarah Childs and Dr Meryl Kenny have written an article for Fawcett making a clear case for gender balanced political party leadership and providing a range of practical options for achieving it. They conclude "And with a choice of election procedures from which they can choose, there's no way they can say that they do not know how to deliver sex balanced leadership."

A Word to the WealthyWhat resources, talents, or other gifts has God given you?
Top Music Videos
"One Minute Dream (I Need You)"
I wrote this song when I was in desperate need of and so far from God. It is meant to sound like a cry, because that is what it is: A cry from deep within my soul for more of God. It's about realizing that there's more to life than what meets the eye. About having nowhere else to go but where I belong: Safe in the arms of God. It's about not wanting a life where I'm close to Him one minute and the next I feel as if He's nowhere to be found. And, lastly, this song is about surrendering my whole self and life to the Creator of the universe. I hope it moves you, and I hope you enjoy it. It's called "One Minute Dream (I Need You)."

Google has launched Google music, which is an online music service and provides legal music. As of now only Hindi music is available and Google has tied up with three companies, namely, in.com, Saavn and Saregama to provide thousands full Hindi songs.
Talking about the new launch, Gautam Gandhi, Head, New Business Development, India, said that this is a Google Lab product, which means that this is experimental project. "We were keen to do this experiment about how can we organize music better for users and we wanted to test it out with Hindi Bollywood music," he said.
"We also identified some people we can partner with and together will have a large comprehensive amount of music together and each partner had a different type of music. Together I believe we have the largest most organized Bollywood music legally," he added.
The testing version has just been released and he said that they will proceed with the next stage when the partners and Google feel that it is the right time. He added that in case they have to add more genres, their focus will be on regional languages such as Tamil, Telugu and Punjabi among others.
Explaining the concept in a little more detail, Ranjan Srinivasan, Sr. VP, Marketing, Web 18, said that when someone searches for a song/artist, the first three results will be from the partner sites. "In case of the websites share one song, every time the user clicks on the song, he gets it from any of the three websites."
The companies also encourage feedback on the website and users can submit their feedback on the product.

The freshman from Philadelphia, Pa. started his Clemson career 2-of-23 from the field, which included a nine-game stretch that saw him miss 13 consecutive shots.
Even as the bricks began to pile up, there was still plenty of positive reinforcement.
"Everybody was telling me to keep my head up, to keep shooting if it was a good shot," Coleman said. "That's what I did. You just have to shoot yourself out of it."
That's exactly what's happened within the last week. Coleman, who scored nine points in each of the last two games, knocked down 4-of-5 shots in last Saturday's win over Wake Forest and hit 4-of-7 during Tuesday's win over Virginia.
That breakout game against Demon Deacons was just what the doctor ordered.
"That was it. That felt like that was what I needed," Coleman said. "It made me feel more confident. A lot of times, in games before when I was missing, I think I was a little hesitant to shoot, maybe if I was open.
"As soon as I hit one, it opened the basket up. My teammates are looking for me and telling me to keep shooting. That helps as well."
Among those teammates with encouraging words to Coleman is Andre Young.
"He's been playing really well. I think it's just a matter of a confidence kind of thing and him being comfortable," Young said. "I think he's getting a little more comfortable out there, kind of just learning when to take his shots. I think he's doing a better job with that."
Within the last couple of weeks, Brad Brownell noticed an improvement in Coleman's performance during practice.
"He's starting to do some things in games now that we've seen in practice," Brownell said. "He has a good ability to move off screens in our offense. It's taken him a while to figure things out on both ends of the court in terms of how we want to play.
"He just needed a couple of shots to go down to take the pressure off."
Coleman appreciates Brownell's continued trust.
"He stuck with me when I was missing shots, to keep shooting and try to keep my confidence high throughout the slump," Coleman said. "That goes a long way."

As a result of age and use, sometimes books of the highest personal value are also the most damaged. Learn to love your books by repairing them! This five-week workshop, limited to ten motivated participants, covers foundational book repair techniques including dry cleaning; paper mending; sewing; repairing loose joints, torn spines, and endcaps; and reattaching detached boards. Manual dexterity and patience are highly recommended. Participants receive a kit of basic materials and tools as well as damaged books on which to practice repair techniques. At the seminar's completion, participants are able to assess damage to non-rare books and execute basic, non-damaging repair techniques.
Tomomi Nakashima started book conservation training in 1997 as a student employee at the Marriott Library, University of Utah while working on an MA in linguistics. In 2002, she relocated to Mesa, AZ where she worked as a book conservator for Roswell Bookbinding. Returning to Utah and the Marriott Library in 2005, she is currently the Head Conservator in the Preservation Department, taking care of rare books and various special projects for the University collections.

Using vintage, discarded, hardbound books as catalysts, students learn innovative methods to appropriate from and collaborate with each volume's original author and/or designer. Participants manipulate found texts through dissection techniques, construction methods, and by transplanting unique stimuli and found objects into each vessel. Using this assemblage process, each student reclaims two books by formally and conceptually transfiguring them into contemporary works of artpossessing unique visual, tactile, and conceptual merit. An instructor-guided expedition to a local antique store in search of found objects and catalyst texts concludes the first day of this transformative two-Saturday workshop*.
* Participants can expect to spend $50 - $75 on vintage hardcover books and assemblage materials.
Adam is a passionate artist and teacher of the visual language whose philosophy embraces the idea that art occurs when craft and concept homogenize. He is dedicated to promoting the practice of fundamental visual and dextral skills in a variety of artistic disciplines. His work cannot be categorized by one medium but exists in varied forms of drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, photography, and artists' books. His current work can be characterized as a visual reflection of his life as he attempts to translate commonplace occurrences into intimate visual dialogs utilizing the visual and tactile container of the artists' book. Adam has exhibited his work extensively throughout the region and around the country and is currently a tenured Associate Professor of Art and Gallery Director at Snow College in Ephraim, Utah where he teaches drawing, 2D design, and printmaking.

6 Fillers to Avoid in Dialogue
1. Tics and Time Buyers: "Like," "you know, "um," "uh," "well," "look," "er," "ah," and their ilk rarely add anything to the conversation. They're little plugs our brains insert into the flow of our speech to give us time to piece together the right words to finish our thoughts. Only use these words when they indicate something about the character—and, even then, use them with extreme caution.
2. Reiterations: Whenever "huh?," "what?," "I didn't hear you," "I don't understand," or "could you repeat that?" crop up in your dialogue and force a character to reiterate something he just said, it's a sure indicator of one of two things: 1) Either the original line of dialogue was incomprehensible and needs to be rewritten or 2) the confused character's question and the subsequent explanation are unnecessary and should be deleted.
4. Info Dumps: In real life, if we went around saying things like, "As you know, Bob, our sister got married last Tuesday and we both missed her wedding because we discussed it amongst ourselves and decided together that we wanted to spite her," you'd get strange looks and lose friends. Unless there's a good reason for including such information in dialogue, spare your characters and your readers and place the necessary info into the narrative instead.
5. Small Talk: Introductions, greetings, farewells, chitchat about the weather—nine times out of ten all that good stuff is completely unnecessary to the plot and adds little or nothing to character development. Ax it relentlessly.
6. Direct Address: Characters calling each other by name is one of the subtler forms of "filling," but, ironically, it's also one of the most unrealistic attempts to create authentic dialogue. In real life, we generally call someone by name only when trying to get his attention, when emphasizing a point, when in the throes of strong emotion, or to avoid confusion.
Dialogue is one of the most fun bits of fiction to write, in large part because the gloves are off and "the rules" rarely apply. In fact, none of these "rules" I've listed here will apply in every circumstance. Sometimes you'll make the educated choice to use one or all of these fillers to advance your plot or illustrate something about a character. Just make certain you understand why and when to use them. Now, sit back and let 'em talk!

I am terribly guilty of #2. I think it's because I actually have horrible hearing, so asking for clarification feels super natural to me in a conversation...but obviously it does not belong in character dialogue.ReplyDelete
I see #4 a lot while working in critique groups. That one I can spot pretty quick.
These are great tips!
whew! glad to know i don't use any of those...or if i do, it's not much.ReplyDelete
You've made an essential point. If dialogue in books was exactly like real dialogue, it would be insufferable. It makes sense to consider what the dialogue shows about the character before anything else. Great post.ReplyDelete
I am the master of #6, I'm not sure why. Maybe because I give my characters names I love so I want to use them. Great post!ReplyDelete
I can think of several occasions when I've used 1 or 2 deliberately. Number 1 can work very well for effect if you want to show a character being awkward. A protagonist meeting his love interest for the first time and leaving a bad impression can be a perfect time to produce a piece of speech filled with fillers: "Erm... You're kinda um cute and um I was like wondering if erm you'd um like to um go out with me. Um."ReplyDelete
I've occasionally used number 2 for humour. This is when some complicated series of events have happened and one character is summing it up for the other in a way that is deliberately bewildering. The reader knows what's going on but you can happily have your character going, "Huh?"
But there's no excuse for number 4.
Well, thanks for the advice.ReplyDelete
The repetitions make people feel dumb!!! That part was awesome and must be noted down by all!!
with warm regards
I just finished a book where the characters used names excessively in dialog and it was mildly annoying. It didn't ruin the story, but it did niggle at the back of my mind while reading.ReplyDelete
@Christine: I didn't realize how guilty *I* was of #2 until I was forced to trim a sizable number of words from a manuscript. In hunting for bits that could be safely deleted, repetitious dialogue was the first to go.ReplyDelete
@Michelle: You go!
@Dixie-Ann: Occasionally, you'll see a book that mimics "real" dialogue, but it's usually just for laughs.
@Danielle: That makes a lot of sense, actually. We spend so much time choosing the perfect name that, of course, we want to make sure we get all the work we can out of it.
@Jessica: I believe all of these "no-nos" can be used on purpose to create profitable effects, but, even when we know what we're doing with them, it's important to err on the side caution.
@AllMyPosts: And the last thing authors want to do is make their readers feel dumb!
@Pegg: I have to admit that overuse of direct address is one of my pet peeves. It drives me crazy.ReplyDelete
I've seen a lot of "direct address" issues in works I've judged or edited. It always reminds me of the preacher who gave a sermon on praying and mentioned how many times we address God in our prayers.ReplyDelete
"Dear Lord . . . and Lord please . . . and Lord, bless . . . and Lord forgive . . . Amen."
I've never forgotten that sermon, which is why "Well" is more a problem for me than direct address!
Hah! I've heard a few prayers like that myself. Direct address can become a crutch, just like the words mentioned in #1, when overused.ReplyDelete
I've had such a hard time with the direct address thing. Because that's how I talk. I say people's names. It's a way of bringing emphasis to what I'm saying when paired with tone. Unfortunately, it doesn't read that way to anyone else. Still weeding out those names...ReplyDelete
Fortunately, direct address is one of those techniques it's difficult to *under*use. When in doubt, strike it out.ReplyDelete
Great advice there. I'm struggling with dialog, especially with #2, reiterations. It's hard to make discussion memorable.ReplyDelete
I try to chose my scenes also (if it can help) to identify when the characters will need talking and why would they need so, before writing the scenes. If not, I'm a sucker for filler.
This is where outlining comes in really handy for me. If I know what the central conflict is in each scene, I know what the characters will be discussing or arguing.ReplyDelete
As for the direct address issue, A woman I know has a habit of addressing the person she is speaking to in every sentence, even when it is only she and the other person in the room. (Like Linda's prayer example) It drives me bats. Don't like when she does it in real life, don't like reading it in novels either.ReplyDelete
Calling someone by name is an intimate gesture in any circumstance that doesn't involve trying to get that person's attention. Dale Carnegie, et al., train their people to call others by name as a way of accelerating familiarity. When overdone, it can be smothering, to say the least.ReplyDelete
I can agree on #4 and #6 because, as you said, they lack realism, and on #5 because unimportant bits of dialogue should generally not be there in the first place, but on the first three I'd have to say that replicating the way people really speak is important, or everything sounds like epic fantasy novel speech. Which is great for epic fantasy novels, but less great for everything else.ReplyDelete
Of course, that's only my way, as this is your way.
Ultimately, it depends on how *much* of 1-3 you put in your prose. The occasional addition can add realism, but if we insert them as often as we do in real speech, readers quickly grow weary.ReplyDelete
Weirdly, my family and I do use each other's names in conversation, apparently more often than most people do - as a consequence, this is a problem for me in my fiction dialogue.ReplyDelete
You only use your family's names? Interesting. I'm enjoying hearing everyone's experiences with real-life dialogue!ReplyDelete
Good post, Katie. #4 cracked me up! Of course, that one was very blatant, it's the more subtle info dumps that usually catch people off guard.ReplyDelete
Yeah, I don't think I'd want "Bob" and Co. for brothers. ;)ReplyDelete
My husband was taught to use a person's name as often as possible in conversation - especially when he first met them. It's one of the tools they offered in order to help them learn names more quickly.ReplyDelete
(Just brainstorming why people may do this so you may not be as irritated the next time they do it in real life.)
I think this is a great list of tips - thanks!
I wouldn't say that it "irritates" me, just that it makes me wonder about their motivations - especially when salespeople do it. ;)ReplyDelete
Thanks for posting this! These are things we try to keep in mind when we are editing dialogue, and it's something that comes up again and again. It really slows things down when the dialogue is too close to some of the problems we encounter in communicating in real life.ReplyDelete
It's a balance (as is most of fiction) between offering enough realism in our dialogue and offering *too much.* We're all learning how best to achieve that balance.ReplyDelete

Great list of tips. I think I'm mostly guilty of "info dumps" more than anything. Everytime I go back over manuscripts, I see so much to cut.ReplyDelete
Which means I usually (not always) have to write something extra to take it's place. :)
Writing is give and take, but info dumps are one of those things we can take away more often than not.ReplyDelete
Dialog takes a lot of effort to get it right. Many novels still feature unrealistic dialog and especially the info dumping. If you're following the characters proper they should have the same information that the reader does. In an age where attention spans are dwindling we don't want to have a reader give a pass because of lengthy exposition info dumps.ReplyDelete
Writing isn't so much about getting it *right* as it avoiding getting it *wrong.*ReplyDelete
Great tips, K M. It's a real art to get the conversation realistic without being 'real' - I've found the best thing to do is read my writing aloud. Clunky dialogue shows up like a neon sign. :)ReplyDelete
Reading aloud is a fabulous trick, especially for dialogue. Nothing helps us "hear" if our dialogue is natural and realistic better than actually speaking it.ReplyDelete
I use number 3 and 4 a lot... I just repeat myself if I'm stuck with a thought. It's really frustrating for me too to hear myself repeat a sentence that is the same, almost half of the words are the same but a little different...ReplyDelete
But I can't agree with number 6! I think it is really good for a conversation to adress the person directly, like: 'hi Bob' 'Jane, how are you' etc. And it's only bad if it's used in every sentence
Overuse of direct address is one of my pet peeves. It's one of the few tics that consistently yanks me out of someone's story.ReplyDelete
Italians authors often are guilty for 1, 2, 3, 5ReplyDelete
These are superb tips thank you! It took me years to really get a good hold on dialogue and I'm still learning. It is important I think, to listen to other people talk around you and eavesdrop, not for the sake of pilfering information but for the sake of understanding the rhythm of how people speak. But yes, all those filler words haha. I think giving each character a unique dialogue is the most difficult task. it's hard to differentiate. That's where listening to various types of people talking comes in. In #2, what I have done, is only use that "what?" deep in POV if a character is daydreaming or something and doesn't hear the previous question/statement. There's so much to be said about dialogue! there's historical/time period differences as well to consider.ReplyDelete
I read a great historical fiction book, and would have given it 5 stars,if not for ONE particular character who literally every piece of dialogue she spoke was info dumping on the reader stuff that we knew already or could have figured out in another way. She was a rather important character too. Too bad :(ReplyDelete

Terrible green screen effect. You can totally tell Simon's Cat isn't really there.
I'm not entirely sure whether this is a thread bomb or not, but it certainly is an epic fail. I was sorting books at work the other day, and I came across this one. The picture on the cover is taken hilariously out of its actual context in the story (the train crew stops and makes repairs to Edward's carriage at one point, and the interior picture is far saner. It's a minor point in the story), and I can't imagine how it got a pass. The title and Edward's creepy grin would scare anyone.
Spoiler: AoS
Gary Oldman trying to get sued by John Hodgman?
Sam the Eagle is the perfect gif for the Trek BBS.
My kids loved Thomas the Tank Engine and watched the videos to death (the original series narrated by Ringo Starr), meaning that I could still recite the damned things in my sleep ten years after we last watched them. Edward always looked, shall we say, a tad too enthusiastic. Come to think of it, none of the engines minded the train crews poking around their valves and hoses.
I always imagined Lisa as his twin-sister (or egg-mate or whatever birds have)
"This must be what going mad feels like."
^ I'm still having trouble with that one.
That's because it is not true.
But seeing that it's a "thread bomb," it's probably meant to !@#$ with you.
Poor Wonder Woman. Maybe someday she'll get a proper movie. It shrunk a bit when I uploaded it, so I embedded a link to the original version. Just click on the comic to view it.
There's a "that's what he said" joke here, isn't there?
That's what she said!
Either way
